Re: PocketShield Release Candidate 2.6

I really like the idea for this program and think I would prefer it to s2u2, but it seems to be really unstable on my phone. I don't know if everyone's is like this, but mine is. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or not, I just figure that the dev would want to know about these things.

First, i had a really hard time running it after installing the .net framework. The program kept on crashing every time I tried to run it . Then after I got it to start for the first time and allow me to choose a language, it crashed when I was trying to set options.

Finally when I got everything set and set the lock I quickly discovered an issue. On my omnia there's a gesture I can use to bring up the task switcher. All that one needs to do is drag their finger up the screen from the bottom to about 1/4 of the way up the screen and the task switcher pops up (even when the device is locked) With the task switcher up, an accidental press in the wrong spot will close all programs (including the lock). This causes another crash which prevented me from using my touch screen until I soft reset the phone.

Again, I really like the idea -- the app looks amazing and feels great when it works the way it's supposed to. I hope to see a release in the future that works better on my phone.
