Just my personal opinion. The first thing I did when I got the pro was load it - but I think I'm better off without it - despite how slick it is.

What version were you using? It's up to 1.35 now. I know that 1.33 and 1.35 addressed some bug issues and even DirectDraw issues. Also A_C must have done something special for the Touch Pro because it's very cool that it unlocks when you pull the stylus out. That was set as a default on 1.35 - not sure about 1.33.

Seem interesting. The main reason I am using a locking program is because I would miss calls when my TP was in the oem case. Everytime I remove it, the case pushed on the screen or one of the buttons since it was so tight. I like how this program uses the light and motion sensor to determine when the phone comes out of the case.

Pocketshield is looking pretty promising right now, tried S2U2 but alarms and any other app. would not show up while locked. I downloaded trial version of PS and ran it through all of the above mentioned issues (text, email, SPB Time) and IT WORKS!!

Currently, I am using G-Alarm 0.9.4 with S2U2 1.35. The alarms does display correctly for me on the screen. G-Alarm seem to have no problem interrupting S2US (in locked mode) when it's time for its alarm to go off. I haven't notice any problems that S2U2 may have with other programs yet, but then I did not have a lot of time yet to test/play with the phone. I have not use Pocketshield before. Thank you for mentioning an alternative. I will give it a go and see how it compares to S2U2 (although S2U2 is pretty darn good already as it is). Thanks.

One setting I did disabled in S2U2's settings is the "Caller ID" option. I preferred to have access to the Touch Pro's "call respond" screen (or whatever it's called) which has the option for you to "send text" to the caller with a text message such as 'I am busy right now and will get back to you later.' (this default text message can be changed). Depending what you selected here, it then goes to the "call connected screen" (with options for mute, speaker, etc). If "Caller ID" is enabled in S2U2 settings, after it displayed the caller's pic (if available), it skips the "call respond" screen and goes right into the "call connected screen", which will not have the option of "send text" to caller because you would have already answered (connected to) the call.

Also, I been using "Direct Draw" instead of "RawBuffer" for "Display Mode". Didn't notice much difference in battery drain. If anyone find this different, please post.

is there anyway for s2u2 to unlock when you slide out the keyboard? mine has problems when i open the keyboard and it wakes up then and s2u it lags and then locks again. i basically have to unlock it twice everytime kinda gets annoying
