Re: What Lock screen are u using on TP2 ?

I use the Integrated lock that comes with PhoneAlarm. Gives you a skinable slide to unlock that can be enabled/disabled based on profiles. Plus it allows the rest of the home screen to be visable so you can see whats up without having to rely on S2U2 or another app to redisplay whats going on.

Here is a screen shot with the skin I just made for it ...

Re: What Lock screen are u using on TP2 ?

With the current version of S2U2 I have virtually no battery drain whatsoever. At most 1% an hour. I use S2U2 as my home screen. It shows me everything I need to know. All notifications (email, sms, mms, missed calls, voice mail), up coming appointments, all my tasks, time and date, battery power, signal strength, sound profile, daily forcast, active connections...

Plus, I like the full screen caller id as well as the way it interacts with S2P. When I had my Mogul (6800), I had no problems with S2U2 at all. But when I started using the TP2 I had the battery drain problem. That was v.2.04. I even switched to Pocket Shield. But the subsquent versions of S2U2 have each improved the battery drain problem.

I've stated this before. If you want a simple locking program then PS is the way to go. It works very well. If you want a fully functioning home screen then S2U2 would be the better choice.

Thanks itouch24. After reading that excel file, found all the settings. Fixed it i think. Hopefully my battery last longer now. Besides... Can't beat S2U2's Price... (Free) LOL

Default on WM 6.1, so voted for "Other". Not sure why that wasn't a choice

Damn i really like that. Is it possible to have this made only? Like a trasparent s2u2 or just this slider only?

found here

also when u are in a call the lock activates so u wont have any face dialing
Smartlock works great except it overrides disableslidewakeup.cab. I use a holster with a magnet in it so I have to use disableslidewakeup.cab in order for my phone not to wakeup every time I put it away. These two are not willing to work together at all.

I tried S2U2 v2.14 and it worked well with disableslidewakeup.cab, but when I receive a call, it waits too long to ring for some reason. Also, the settings menu is kind of buggy. The on/off switches do not respond.

Anyone else having these issues? I need a lock badly. Wakeup on SMS is freaking annoying!

So cast your vote and explain why .. is too buggy ... is too heavy?

My thoughts

i wish the slider was bigger for the default WM 6.5
PocketShield .. lack of themes and still buggy on WM 6.5.1
S2U2 .. looks great but loaded .. i mean loaded with so many options.. wish there was a light version... all that has to bog down the phone...
SlideToUnlock PRO works great for me
slider is more responsive and the ability to slide the clock and see your notifications, last call, upcoming appointments, and calander is neat.
