Hello
wanted to get everyone's opinion to whats the best lock app for our phones. i have tried several and i have problems with a lot of them.
i really like phone buddy, but i find it uses too much memory and power.
pocketshield is good too but i had problems with it. the phone wouldnt stay locked and i think i had a memory problem as well.
s2u2 is what i have used before and i do like it. but i had a problem with the volume on calls.
not sure if its something else im running.. im running the diamond2 g sensor and that may be it. or something else... not sure
help and suggesting would be great. i would like to find something i can use on my phone.
thanks

pocketshield. best i've found, no impact on battery life and answering the phone is great. download the latest (they've been updating it alot) and turn off the shake wake up (gestures), light wakeup, center button, and stylus (so the only thing is slide down). i haven't had it wake up unexpectedly with those settings.
i tried s2u2 along time ago, but have heard from multiple sources that it negatively influenced battery life. anyone know if this is still true?
i liked pocketshield a lot but like i said, i turned the phone off so it would lock, as soon as i turned the phone on it would unlock without me fliping it or anything else.
the answer thing is nice but i like the slide to answer i already have. if it didnt disable that when i used the pocketshield one i would use it.
like i said, im not sure if something else if causing my issues.... i think i may uninstall the dimond2 g sensor.
still cant find any lock app that will work well.... sensorlock and glocker dont work at all. and pocketshield works for a short time but stops. not sure if its cause you have to pay for it. i would pay for it if it worked for a while with no problems. dont wanna pay for it and have the same problems.
any ideas?
S2U2
try using S2U2 fully configurable and if done right does not use up battery.

I use S2U2. Doesn't affect my battery life
using S2U2 with tPro skin... nice

S2U2 is my favorite.
On a fast ROM (Like most of the ROM's on our forums), the program runs smoothly and nice.
I also like being able to pick pictures of my dog, or my bike, for the screens.
But my best practice for locking the phone is simply lock it out of habit when you put it away. Have "Slide to wake" disabled unless you really use it.
pocketshield for me, i had a few issues in the earlier releases but the newest is absolutely perfect, and pretty much everything is configurable to how i like it! seriously try the new one out and play in the settings to tweak it
Just use the new vertion of S2u2 together with the new skin

Works without problem. and looks good.

Maybe you have "light unlock" enabled and it is unlocking before you even notice it? (actually its the way it should be if you enable that feature)
has anyone tried throttle lock ? it has a slide to answer when you recieve calls while locked and it unlocks by drawing a pattern on a 3X3 grid of dots . Its a real nice app and has at least 35 different skins and is customizable. (customizing is rather arduous and takes awhile to do when it comes to making a new skin)
can anybody help me find Phone Buddy? i was trying to search it and i am not getting an conclusive results. The only thread that cmae up with anything is this thread....
S2U works just fine on my TP with stock rom, no negative battery impact noticable.
It seems all locking programs seem to have their own 'locked screen' that goes over the today screen. I have customized my today screen to have all the information i need at a glance and don't need another one.
I think Touchlock Pro is the only recent one that does not have this but I have other issues with it. Are there others I have missed?

I'm using AnswerkeysDisabler which locks the touch screen completely when a call comes in. Answering is only with the hardware keys. It's simple - no home screens, no swinging the phone around in circles to answer or anything Just plain works (as touch pro has those HW keys).
I found it from here somewhere - try it.
I use sensor lock. It's great! You can use phone gestures with the accelerometer to unlock your phone. For example, you can rotate your phone 360º to lock/unlock it.
Here is the app. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=422871

This is a great question as I ran into the same exact problem. My issue started after I downloaded the "de Blob" game which allows you to "calibrate" the sensor based on the orientation of how you want to hold the phone during accelerometer based play. After doing so my auto rotate would turn at awkward times and I found that other games didn't respond appropriately. I tried going back and "re-calibrating" by laying the phone flat but that didn't work. What ended up working for me (as I could not find for the LIFE of me where the "calibrate" feature was in the settings) the "Bubble" app which is basically a level app that tells you if a surface is level. Once I calibrated in the Bubble app, I no longer had the issue. Needles to say I no longer use the accelerometer to play "de Blob" and have emailed him to let him know of the issue. (I haven't gotten a response) Hope this helps. I will be looking forward to other ideas on how to re-calbrate the sensor in case this happens again. I'm sure there is a easier way.
yea i tried the bubble app out and now my gsensor is not working at all no matter what direction i put it in the gsensor does not respond
Really? Sorry man. Worked for me. You may need to start from scratch by wiping your phone and reflashing your ROM
The same problem
Hi are you have some solution. My G-sensor didn't respond too.

They recommend you to mahe "8" signs with your phone in hand (twist it in all direction) because the sensor recalibrates that way. This is othe official advice.
Calibrating with the bubble app should work too. If not - alt+w
I have got the G-Sensor.
From Recovery
backup
Alt+W - delete all
and update to CM last stable
No joke, try shaking your g1 around kind of hard, it might be stuck. Reset it again after that and see what happens, worth a shot.
may sound daft, but have you tried this solution?

it is a quick fix for auto rotate issues, not a permanent solution, but it may help as auto rotate is accellerometer based, as are all the apps you're trying to use
if it works, thanks go to MikeTaylor00, not me, i'm merely a messenger

hey senaia, is this a proven method? Thanks =)
What's up with this? I noticed it first in GingerDX and Doixnah confirmed it himself, but it is not a rom bug, as it also happens in MiniCM.
In my case I have a Cypress digitizer and the screen is not sensitive on the bottom pixels and on the right border pixels. Very annoying for typing spaces and the letter P, for example.
I have the same problem with my phone...I also have cypress digitizer...
The digitizer causes the problem because synaptics users doesn't have this problem.
I do not think that doixanh or other develop able to fix this bug becaus he don't have cypress...
AndyX has cypress digitizer,
but I don't think that's fixable...
it's hardware problem, not software...
its issue don't available on CM6 rom's and on some app its issuen don't available(like Xda android app(if you move your finger from phisycal keybord to up than scrolling works))
and i know AndyX have cypress....
I have this problem in all ROMs..Even in stock!

hmm... instresting... i don't' have this problem on cm6 and stock...other's have this problem on cm6 and stock?
Basically my phone sometimes recognizes my finger at the bottom of the screen and sometimes not...
It depends on how dry are my fingers.
I noticed a strange thing in launcher pro.
If you swipe from right to left, the screen is not reacting to it, ok. But try it when you set 3 homepages in LP and you are on the last screen! Strangely it works then, you can "overpull" the page easily.
Now this is some strange sh*t :-S

How about changing fling speed in LP options? It might help.
On the other hand, that's the way that Launcher Pro is designed...to be smooth and you don't have to swype from one edge to an another to change screen
Peace, DDI!
hmm in my case this didn't happen in pre-CM7 roms
Had the same problem with my digitizer. Just put in a replacement off eBay and works fine now.

You don't understand. I wrote this because in some case the screen edge is responsive, else it doesn't. So I think this is not hardware related problem. I just mentioned this because it is a strange thing about 2.3 ROMs VS cypress.

It isn't a hardware problem, so replacing the digitizer is nonsense.
Definitely, it's not hardware problem.
Just try to rotate screen for 180 degrees (must check 180 in accelerometer settings) and You will see that edge next to the Sonyericsoon logo will become the problematic one. And The edge with buttons will work perfectly.
I have cypress, too and this problem exist only in CM7 roms, on all CM6 rom there is no such issues with screen.
Also, I noticed that this bug doesn't appear in some apps. Also in settings, screen work perfectly.

Nice findings, pal.
i don't have any problem with this in any rom. All screen is sensitive with all roms i've used, GingerDX, KuyaDROID, MiniCM7, MiniCM6, FroyoBread, Floyo, GingerCruzt, stock rom, i'm with Cypress and AX8MT module and it's working fine, no lags, sensitive, and the dual touch is also very fast responding.
Hello all!
I have been a proud user of Galaxy Note user for a bit over a week now, and I am trying to test (in real app-world) if all the sensors are working correctly to be able to bring change it at the store if something doesn't work, since I'm eager to root my device and I probably won't be able to return it then.
Yesterday I installed the game AirPenguin, which uses accelerometer controls, and it seems all messed up. Basically what happens is that as soon as the game starts, the bird goes flying way left, even though I am holding the phone still. What I found out after experimenting a bit was that the game itself is locked to portrait mode, but the accelerometer works as if it was in landscape. Meaning I have to hold it in landscape, and when I then tilt it left, the bird flies left in game-screen, but left is down from my point of view.
I was wondering if anyone else has seen such problem in this game or any other app, and if it is just a game bug or if there could be a problem with the accelerometer.
The stock accelerometer calibration works without a problem - when I tilt the phone left, the ball goes right, and when I tilt it right, it goes left (I suppose that's how it's supposed to be).
Thank you all in advance!
ME TOO
I'm facing the same problem on my Galaxy Note, I wonder if that happens also on other android devices or it's a galaxy note issue only?
i dont have the app, but is auto-rotate (that thing in the notification bar) turned off or on? try changing that to see if it fixes it?

Same problem with my Galaxy Tab 7+ P6200. I have encountered so many games in the google playstore with this problem. Too bad, i hope the app developers fix this problem for our devices.
afair there was a free app for comprehensive hardware testing, it was called Z-Device test, if stones interested, and google does not hello, I may try to find the link or apk later

Try holding the phone level in your hand, screen up, then move it in a figure 8 motion. This worked on previous phones and should hopefully help this one as well.
Try on many Roms. now on ISC and problem still appears. i'm ready to disable g-sensor. problem is really annoying. i'll make video with this "bug" shortly.
I had some issues with mine as well. I can't say it rotated on its on sitting on a table, but certainly when in my hand when it shouldn't. I wound up using Beautiful Widget's rotate sensor to rotation off. The advantage of the widget is that you can quickly turn it on if you want it.
Even with the rotation turned off with the widget, rotation still occurs when you open the keyboard, which for me, is perfect!
Thanks for the tips! I have used both methods. seems the problem is go away.
