Re: TP2: Use the Light Sensor to detect that phone is in pocket?

So if it wakes in your pocket it stays locked, but outside where there is light, auto unlock. It's a paid program but it's worth every penny.
Are you sure about that? Because according to the specs and manual it only has a light sensor, and if I hold my finger over it in conversation it turns the screen off, but if I hold it right next to it, nothing... so it definitely seems light based.

I'll have a look at touchlockpro, thanks!

edit: okay, TLP only unlocks with light, not locks with darkness. Nor does it actually turn off the screen.

Any other suggestions?
