I wasted an awful lot of time trying to get s2u2 to work correctly in the TP before giving up on it & moving on.

After trying every program there is, I settled on PocketShield which really seems to be an awesome program......

I started out using S2U2 on my TP but am now using Sensor Lock, havent had any problems.

S2U2 seems to work the best for me. I ventured away for a little while to DBH's Slide2Unlock Pro, but overall I prefer S2U2.

I use PocketShield.

It's free to try, you get nag screens from time to time if you keep the free version. I noticed their frequency to be extremely low at times (sometimes less than 1 in 100 unlocks). I actually bought it.

If you look over on their forums, the few people who run it are really fast on addressing issues... even updating the program for someone's issue within a few hours.

Overall, it's lightweight, can be unintrusive, and only needs minor tweaks from the developers to get it to a near perfect status.

It's definitely worth a shot.

Edit: Adding that the major downsides of S2U2 are that it's slow and causes a lot of problems, answering calls can be extremely late, etc... while nice, it's far from perfect and could stand to be cleaned up a lot.

Edit 2: Screenshot!

I realize that this thread is asking us what solution we've been using. (I've been trying S2U2.) But could I ask, while here, if other S2U2 users are experiencing instances wherein they have to do 2 or more finger swipes to unlock the screen? Somewhat annoying, eh? Is there a way, in S2U2, to tell the software to unlock only for stylus removal, just like nother user noted for Touch Lock Pro?

I've used everything listed and s2u2 is what I keep going back to.

Any updates to a favorite locking program? There have been quite a few that have come and gone since this thread was last touched and I was curious as to if anyone has had a change of heart. Or has everyone simply updated to the latest S2U2 and stuck with it?

That screenshot is not what you want to use to convince someone to use that program. It makes me never want to try it...

Anyway, S2U2 user here!

Yup, that was one of the reasons I stopped using it.
