Re: PocketShield Screen Lock
 

Looks like a new version came out yesterday. Going to try it out to see if its any better (website says theres theme support, etc.) - http://www.pocketshield.net/phorum/read.php?1,322

Re: PocketShield Screen Lock
 

It is way better. I was having all sorts of problems and was ready to give up on it, but I am way sold on it now.

Re: PocketShield Screen Lock
 

Yep - installed and works beautifully. I have it set to unlock only using the slider.

Stylus unlock feature works perfectly in my tests, but I turned it off. Tried the g-sensor unlock, but didn't like it (I guess it just looks silly to me - and kind of inappropriate if you catch my drift). Didn't try the light sensor either, so YMMV. The new version added a center button unlock mechanism too, which I haven't tested either. But I imagine it works just fine.

As far as simply locking and unlocking goes, it simply kills s2u2 (in regards to sliding since thats the only way I want to have to unlock). Virtually no lag with the slider - no matter how long my phone was idle. Never does that thing where s2u2 shows the home screen for a split second then goes back to the lock screen. Also have not had ANY problems whatsoever with answering calls (I set it so that I unlock then press answer currently, but I did test the slider to answer/ignore and it worked just fine for me too). Also haven't tested the dialer because I read a few posts back people were having problems getting the original back.

Definitely worth the $12 imho.

i like this version much better than the previous also.. i was about to trash pocketshield for something else as I was having nothing but trouble.

Center button works fine on my Pro

One thing i dont like about PS is when it is locked, you cant activesync via cable, and when you unlock it attached to cable AS gets in a long attempt to connect back and sometimes it works adn sometimes it doesnt.. so next version needs to not turn off AS when it is locked.

Re: PocketShield Screen Lock
 

Yeah - probably the only problem I've encountered with this...but I never really have that problem since I got into the habit of having it unlocked before I try to sync via usb. Definitely something that should be implemented though.

Re: PocketShield Screen Lock
 

This has also replaced S2U2 on my phone. Works well.

Re: PocketShield Screen Lock
 

I've been using sensorlock lately- a very nice app. Newest version is 0.4 and works quite well. And also free.

Re: PocketShield Screen Lock
 

looks promising. gonna give it a try.

Re: PocketShield Screen Lock
 

New version available today - but it's not working correctly. after I use the slide bars one time to ignore a call, every call after that is missing the slide bar (answer and ignore soft buttons are there though) and when caller hangs up before I take any action PS just sits there, like it's stuck. Doesn't seem to be any way to go back to a previous version.
