It seems then that something has changed on your device. My app does not embed any fonts in it. It uses the system font. Have you installed any new software or made any configuration changes, registry edits, ect?
This is possible, but I have recently done a hard reset within the last week. I can't see that it is any setting that I have made since it it pretty much stock there. The only hack that I hack that I have is the data disconnect/timer from the popup data window.
Below is the software that I have installed. Most everything is install to main memory that is OS dependant or requires a data connection.
Microsoft .NET CF 2.0
Microsoft Voicecommand 1.6
SPB Backup
Microsoft Remote Control Display
iNav iGuidance
Marsware WeatherPanel
Microsoft Live Search
PHM Registry Editor
TofClock Today Plugin (Picture Dial)
All of these programs function properly without any issues. Is it possible that one of these that you know of may cause the problem? The only one that I can think of is maybe .NET, which is 2.0 but not SP1.
I think what I am going to do is reflash my phone. I think that I may have got a bad ROM update since I am having other non-related issues. I have been doing some reading and research and fell that this may be the issue.
I am not saying that this is the solution, but considering I am having frequent lockups and and connectivity problems, I have a feeling that the ROM may just be the problem here.
No the call doesn't end at all. I can actually here myself pressing the end call button on the other side and the call never shuts off. Then I unlock the phone and hit the end button and it shuts off.
JKingGrim, thanks for the app. I tried it with my TyTN and it works fine but I would agree with mdecker79 on the issue with ending a call. With the in-built lock, when a call comes in with the screen locked you are able to answer and end the call without unlocking, though you have to unlock to exit the phone app to return to the today screen. With Onlock the call is definitely not ended when pressing the end key and due to the window not updating I also have the caller ID window displayed over the phone app when a call is answered. If you could mimic the behavious of the built-in lock and have Onlock Pro unlock the answer and end keys for incoming calls that would be great.
Another thing, if you manually lock the phone and then power off via power button or power-saving settings it overrides the "power off if lock not removed" timer setting when you power back on which means the phone will be governed by the power settings as to when it shuts down. Maybe not a but per say, but it feels a bit inconsistent. What may be a bug is if you deactivate the power off timer but have OnlockPro lock device automatically on sleep when you power on the phone turns off within a few seconds, ignoring the power-save settings. Powering on after a manual lock the phone will follow the power-save settings on when to sleep.
Nonetheless, I think its the best PPC locking program and look forward to future versions. Thanks again
PS Just to add, no font problems here on my TyTN and no lockups so far either.

Good point on the power off if lock not removed being overridden. The reason for this is because if I am listening to music and I manually lock and shut off screen, if the timer was still active, it would shut off and stop the playback when the timer expires. I guess I should change it so that the timer option is only overridden it you select 'lock and turn off screen' or just make it an option to override.
I will see about leaving the phone keys unlocked. Not sure if it is possible (stuff built into the OS always gets to cheat) but I will try.
Well........ The ROM update is complete and I have re-installed all my apps. Issue is still present. However, I did find out what was causing it. The Marsware Weather panel. After I uninstalled it the "font" issue was gone. I would have never thought that an unrealed application would be causing a problem like this.
As a side note, but not trying to get off topic, does anyone else here use a weather program that does not have this issue? I would be interested in know what else is available.
With that said, I have tested the end call issue and I have the same symptoms. This is a problem for me since I am oncall with my job and I feel that if I forget to unlock the phone to actually disconnect that call and receive another "emergency" call in the middle of the night that I would miss it. Not to mention the ass chewing I may possibly get.
I may hold off on the Pro version until the disconnect issue is resolved or an option is built in to override this. This is a great application and should of been stock from the beginning. You do great work JKingGrim and I wouold most definately use the program if there is somethign that you can do to fix the issue.

How about making the timer countdown the default startup mode (if enabled) and adding an option to override timer settings when lock is set manually and device resumes from sleep? That way there are choices without being confusing, I think - enable/disable timer and/or enable/disable timer override on manual lock. This should not affect actions like listening to music since the device is not powered down in that mode and the lock will be engaged only after power is restored.
So it will be:
Timer enabled > power off device > on resume countdown engaged (default behavious after resume)
Timer enabled > manual lock only > power off or power save > on resume countdown engaged
Timer enabled > manual lock only (option timer override) > power off or power save > on resume countdown not engaged
Same would apply if "Lock and power off device" is selected. Should not apply to "Lock and turn off screen" as device is still powered on but with screen off.
Sorry for the extended explanation, just trying to illustrate my point clearly: was much clearer in my mind
My 2 cents; I would actually perfer to have the hard phone keys be locked all the time during calls. I almost always use a headset so the phone is usually in my pocket. Using the "basic" OnLock program I have at several occasions either sat down or bumped into something just right to hit the end key while on a call. Perhaps once you figure this out you could make it an option to lock all keys during a call or not. Just my opinion, great work.
I am running AKU 3.3 and when I lock the screen and have the phone power off I do not receive my push mail notifications until I deactivate the lock. Can anyone else verify if they are seeing this same behavior? I am running Colonels AKU 3.3 Beta 1 and OnLockPro 1.0.0.
Noticed that when the day/time is Wednesday, 10am or so, there is not enough space to display the seconds in the box.
2nd thing I noticed is that sometimes when I hit the power button to turn the phone back on, the display is already showing a key as being pressed. Since I don't know what this key is, it takes a bit for this previous key to time out, or sometimes it never seems to time out. While this is up it prevents my phone from using the actual unlock key, and may require a reboot. While I could have a bad key, it was kinda weird.
Sorry for the lack of progress in this. I have not done work on the program for a while since I have been busy. I will try to work on some of these problems when I get a chance.

I was using combination, I have just switched to single key, and it also sometimes shows a key pressed when it first starts up. Clock is still working, so if it only had a timeout for the keypress, or if the timeout worked a bit better. I notice that it does this more often when I lock the phone with the lock attached to a button more than just using the power buttion to shut it down.
** update ** Since I have lock and turn off screen enabled, I think it is hanging on the same button I use to lock the phone.

I will add a key timeout, and also try to find the cause of a key already down. When you are using key combination mode though, you can enter more keys until the queue clears itself when the wrong combination is entered.
I think it is the same key I used to lock the phone. I have it set to lock and turn off screen, and that might somehow be keeping the last key pressed when I use the power button to turn the screen back on.
