Hi,
does anybody here use PocketShield?
I experience a strange problem - time to time when I unlock my phone the whole top bar disappears. The Start button, the Close button...everything.
I can't do anything with the phone - the only solution seems to be to navigate to the programs tab (via TF3D), select All programs and run the Lock - this locks the phone again and when I unlock it then suddenly my top bar is back. It seems to be completely random.
I know that there is a forum on the developers site but I was wondering if any of the bright minds here could help me ;-)
I am running the 2.0.6.2 free version.
I will try to post it to the official forum as well.
Cheers.

Mine locks up when Gyrator2 tries to rotate the screen on incoming calls. Really annoying. I want to be able to rotate my screen in most programs, but it always seems to screw up my incoming calls and creates more lag...I'm gonna try to go back to sensorlock instead of pocketshield...
I will try to post it to the official forum as well.

I had to same problem. I had Gyrator2 running which rotated the screen and screwed up Pocketshield screen.
I put an Event in Gyrator2 to disable rotation when in PShield screen.
The Event should be the same as Manila's except application/window title is "PShield"
That fix the problem.
i get odd issues as well
I agree, I get odd issues as well. I get the occassional hang, crash, missing bar etc. I uninstall pocketshield and I don't get issues. I'm using NATF 2.3 rom. I paid for it and it worked ok for a while until I noticed these intermittent problems...

I created a rule in Gyrator almost immediately after installing PS - I didn't want it to rotate the PS screen.
I left it up to Gyrator to get the window name and now my rule is set for the window #NETCF_AGL_BASE_.
But my problem is not in rotating, my problem is in unlocking (at least I think so). Anyway, will try to change the window name to PShield and see if it makes any difference.
EDIT
Nope it didn't. The top bar disappeared again during the first seconds of my testing :-(

Thank you my friend for letting me know. If this is indeed fixed I don't mind paying the $13. Will check it right now.
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. Sounds like the same problems you describe earlier.
Im using PocketShield, but I was wondering - the phone always locks after I insert the stylus (I have Touch HD), after a while PocketShield kicks in and after that if I want to unlock the device, I first have to unlock the "normal" lock and then the PocketShield. Really annying.
Is there a way to disable the lock after stylus insertion?

actually i just experience this an hour ago.. also every time I slide the keyboard to unlock my Fuze the screen freezes on the landscape mode. all keys on the keyboard besides the windows key. I hope they fix these bugs right away..
I have the same problem with the top bar disappearing. I'm not running Gyrator or anything like that. I'll try a new version when the bugs mentioned have been ironed out. It is a great product though. I do like it.
Are any of these being posted in the PocketSheild forum? They need to know the bugs.

yes many people posted on the pocketshield forums with same issues...
i dont know if anyone else is having this issue... but
i seems that when slide to answer is activated PSPP some calls get answered automatically... and it takes me to the "talking" screen immediately.
any help on this issue would be super!
I'm having other issues with PocketShield. I didn't have this same problem with version 2.0.6.3, but with version 2.1 I started to have problems with my alarm notification. When the alarm goes off, it just quickly vibrates once and just stops if it's in a locked state. Also, I noticed a heavy battery drain issue--the battery charge would drop about 10% each hour. Once I uninstalled it, the problems with the alarm and battery drain stopped.
Even with the new version (2.1.0.1) I still have problems answering phone calls. I'll slide to answer and the phone just keeps ringing. I hit the "Send" key and nothing happens. I hit the "Answer" soft key and still nothing....
Anyone else still see these problems?
I have a different issue, when phone is not locked and I have an incoming phone call, pocket shield kicks in and shows me "lock screen" where I have to slide to unlock the device and only then I get the standard "Incoming call" screen...
v2.1.0.1
Major Problems
Well I was gonna pay for it but their payment server seems to be phishing site. Also it crashed SQB and when I uninstalled it, the program removed my outlook email account. Sorry but looks like malicious program so going back to an old sensor lock. I did like the software interface but Paypal confirmed me, so I shouldn't need to give you my personal information to pay for the software. No shipping means I am not giving you my phone number and address, etc. Sorry too many questionable things going on for a screen lock... rule is KISS and since this programmer isn't doing that then dump it off my device is my rule.

Hi,
I was under the impression the Froyo 2.2 would add the "Lock phone after" security option so that when the screen switches off, the lock could occur a few minutes later and not straight away.
Any one know what happened to it?
Cheers,
Taomyn
Anyone? Even after the 2nd round of Froyo updates, this still doesn't seem to be an option on my SGS
Same here... This seem so be related only to the SGS... Other phones seem to have the option with Froyo from what I have read so far.
Btw, the missing option in German is called: "Display sperren nach".
You'll not be able to find it, because it is just not there.
Please anyone: Is there a way to acivate/enable that setting? It is so frustrating to have the screen lock so quickly and not being able to change it. Makes the phone a pain to use!
Thanks.
Sportytom.

Hi all,
Basically on my P1000, the screen gets woken up whenever it receives a notification. I personally receive a lot of notifications from eBay night and day, so it gets pretty annoying very quickly.
What I would like to know, is that is there a way to prevent screen wake when reviving notifications?
I don't think it has ever done that on my HTC devices, so it must be something to with how Samsung implements it I guess.
I am on Overcome 2.0.0 RC1.
You help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks.
EDIT -
Or better yet, is there any app that would allow me to change the screen wake, sound, vibration, etc of each notification in the system? I googled and also had a look in the market, but couldn't find anything obvious...
I've the same room, and my tablet remains screen off when I receive something... mail, twitter, gtalk, whatsup...
Only the screens goes on when receiving calls... And this is normal

This happens to me aswell, but i dont mind so much, as i have my phone on silent most the time.
but you could possibly try and do somthing with tasker, but it would probably be uber hard
sorry to dredge up an old post, but was a solution for this ever found?
I run into a very annoying issue with my HTC Desire 510(Android version: 4.4.3). It kept auto-rotating the screen even when I switched it off in the settings(in both Display and Accessibility, it seemed to be not respecting the these settings). So I decided to reset the phone. It was fine(no screen rotating, and it applied the rules in settings), until I installed a navigation software(Here Maps). It messed up everything again, so I got rid of the app, and magic happens... it is okay again. After a couple of hours, it is playing up again, basically with no installed applications, at all. I used Google Maps, to look up addresses, but not to navigate.
Has anyone had this kind of problem before? Any way to get it sorted or get over it? Would be another ROM a solution?
Many thanks in advance
Same problem here
Having the same problem with my desire 816. Anyway have you sort it out?
