I got the donate version (love it) but i have moved apps to sd card on my phone, and i have noticed this program, along with a few others need to be started when you restart your phone, is this the case if your apps are on the phone? Also is there a means to tell the g1 what apps i would like it to run on startup?
the new version gives u an option to run at start up
Doh!!! now i really feel like an idiot... I blame linux for my brain frying.
Thanks alot got it set now
i went ahead and got the donate version and i really love the app i just hate how it goes to sleep when i am only using touch. but the app is making my iphone friends so jealous
Lock 2.0 Problem
Well I got the lock 2.0 donate version. Whenever I run the app for it to download the default.zip file it says "the application lock 2.0 has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
But the free version runs fine..
Can not find the donate version in the market - Bulgaria/Europe
Runs fine on my G1
if you don't know what you doing or if u move file that u don't know what they do, don't come crying here asking for help + saying that the app don't work

I found a bug that i reported to the developer.
You can bypass the lock feature, click menu-set skin-back button.
Brings you to the homescreen not back to the lock screen
i liked the app, but asked for a refund becuz when lock2.0 was running, my notification sounds wouldn't work.
anyone else have this problem? i would get the LED notification, but no sound.

No he did not. I still get no sound wheter it's running or not. Hopefully I get it back when I uninstall.
this app worked fine until i turned on the option to have it open on startup. now my phone hangs on the android loading screen. it will not go past it. anyone else had this problem? i have tried to unistall via adb but couldnt figure out how to. any help would be great. thanks!
Grrrr... I uninstalled it, too unstable to be truly usefull. Restart the phone and you have to restart the program, I know you can set it to run at start-up but then it does not bypass that fugly "stock" locked screen. Notifications work on and off, made me miss so many emails....... I'll wait and see if dev can work all those bugs out, may be reinstall it in a month or so.
Weird, I don't have any problems with it. Yeah, when the phone restarts it goes back to the stock locked screen, but I simply enter my unlock pattern and done.
lock 2.0 notification problems
I've read in a few posts where people have notification problems, either no notificaton, or you cant pull down the notification screen etc. I had this problem too intermitantly, i played with it, and found a work around, hopefully help some others experiencing the same probs till the dev comes up with a fix. When you first boot your phone, if you have the proggy set to come on at startup, you have about 3 seconds, where it boots to your normal android start screen (half window, with time network information in it.) if you wait about 3 seconds, it will autolock into your lock 2.0 program. at this point your notifications are screwed, but if when it first boots to the normal android boot screen, and you hit the menu button, it will move to your desktop, and then autolock. You should be good to go at this point. everytime i press menu before it locks, i have 0 notification problems. Hope this helps some of you out there

For whatever reason, Viber just WON'T send me my access code! ><" Not even after I go to the "Get Code" part...ToT
edit: nevermind, I guess they just ran out of beta codes, so I'll most likely have to wait till they send me mine in the next few weeks.

Already did that, I have the APK and it installed fine. My problem is that my access code is never sent to me, hence I can't verify my account.
Hi everyone,
We (Viber) are just as excited as you are for our new beta.
We're thankful for your feedbacks, and hoping you are finding it useful!
A few messages and clarifications:
1. Although I'm following this thread, we would like to ask you to post all your technical issues and suggestions in our official Android webpage: blog.viber.com/viber-beta-support
2. For those who are not receiving the code or getting the error message saying they need to subscribe: the only way for you to successfully install our beta is to have subscribed, and wait for our official invitation email. Otherwise your email and number won't have been activated, thus you're blocked (we didn't want our .APK to simply be open to EVERYONE in the world). Please wait patiently. It might take up to a week, but you should eventually receive the email and use it freely.
3. If you haven't subscribed in the official way yet, you can still do it here and wait for our email: eepurl.com/bW1Ln
For other info or questions, I'm here!
Best regards,
Viber.
I registered even before december last year and didnt get a beta invite yet... so probably its still too early to get really excited, as there are thousands of people that registered later... especially over the last time.
Makes only sense of course if they send out the codes in the order as people registered.
EDIT:
I have to correct myself. i never got an invite email from viber, but using the email i used back then to subscribe i could register here http://www.viber.com/android-beta/ without any problems. i just had to try some email addresses as i didnt know anymore which one i used back then. I didnt recive a sms but the activation call worked without any problems.
So yeah, even if you didnt get an invitation mail it might work. And YES, i checked my spamfolder before!

Hi there.
Why do I see the Viber logo in the notification. Isn't there any possibility to turn it off?
I thought you receive your calls and messages through push notification?

I think thats kinda annoying too. if every running service would show an icon, there would be no space left...
As the service is always running in the background anyway, there is simply no need to show the symbol all the time.

Well i think we need that icon to see if the Viber Server in ONLINE or OFFLINE i like it !
I found a problem VIBER , when someone calls me when i try to Accept the call i have to touch the Accept button and wait a little then swipe it to right side, if i swipe immediately the call is Rejected and doesnt inform the other side (the caller) that i Rejected his call.

Thats kinda redundant, as you should safely assume that you are connected to viber as long as you have an online connection... if its usual that you cant connect to viber while having an online connection, it basically means the service isn't very reliable.
Just applied for both me and the missus. Hope we get in.

For me, the WhatsApp solution is way better. Even if I quit the app with ATK, I get my mails pushed. I don't even see Viber in ATK.
That's quite unacceptable for me.
Zhe rest of the app is fine for me.

if you quit the WhatsApp client, the WhatsApp service is still running... i dont get your point. Whats the problem with services running in the background anyway? As long as they are not eating up your battery which shouldn't be the case if they are properly programmed.
i mean as long as they dont eat up space in the notification bar

Homez, I know that Viber is not really draining my battery, I just don't want to see the logo in the notification bar. The application can run in the background, it can even run besides me if it wants. I just want my notification bar clean ;-)

its gone in the newest beta! Thanks!
And i got an invitation mail to the beta today... a little bit late regarding i am using the beta already since last week. And it works really good for me... besides not deactivating the screen while calling (proximity sensor) but im sure they will fix this soon.
I have borrowed an HD7 from a friend running the absolute latest Mango beta I believe - beta 2 I think.
Anyway, I want to be always online with Google Talk ala Android. I see it has options for push notifications and running under lock screen. I dont really get it. I want the best battery life I can get, but I want notifications as quickly as possible when someone sends me a message. I have the live tile pinned to my home screen too, but it seems to take a little while to get a notification.
Can anyone help a bit with this stuff please.
If you are using Mango beta2. Then under Messages you will find threads. From there you can be online with Windows Live Messenger and it is the best. Instant notifications and toast.

Push notifications are dependant on IM+ sending them to Microsoft in a timely manner, and for Microsoft to send them to your phone in a timely manner.
This is not something you can control unfortunately. Sometimes they get to your phone instantly, sometimes they don't. Despite it being called 'push' notifications, its not always on and always waiting for notifications. That would eat up too much battery life. Best thing to do would be to wait for Mango to finally come out, and for IM+ to be updated to support true background multitasking so that it can send you more instant notifications.

Hmm, interesting, didnt know it went through Microsoft. What about the whole running under screen lock business. Does that help?
Thanks

Running under lockscreen would only continue to drain the battery as if you phone was on and actively pulling/sending data. So don't expect your phone to last too long with it on.
That being said, you should definitely see an improvement in notification response time since the app is open and actively pinging the server for new messages. Best case it should notify you as quickly as it can download the latest IM from whoever talks to you.
And then there is the fact that if you leave it on under lockscreen, in order for that to operate properly, you need to open the app every time right before you put the phone into standby. Otherwise, the app closes/freezes when you do anything else with the phone. Or you can simply do nothing with you phone and leave IM+ open at all times... but then it wouldn't be much of a phone. XD
My phone is on the latest firmware with 5.0.2. I successfully rooted my phone after a couple of sleepless nights and tons of stress when the phone suffered a boot loop. I do not want to undergo that process anytime shortly, though fun it was. (Damn! I keep speaking like Yoda) Sony keeps pushing updates every ten days and it creates trouble all over again. I searched before I posted this and in kitkat there was an option under personalisation to disable OTA. However that no longer is present. Can the OTA be disabled? Can anyone tell me how to do it?
There is a app called update center as i remember correct. In the app there u can turn off ota notification. Or flash a debloated rom, most of them has no ota app
Hey basti thanks for the reply but I am not able to find any such app. Tried whatsnew app and disabled updates but I guess that is only for apps that comes like xperia lounge. Further clarity would be nice.

When the update notification appears at the top of your phone, pull down to reveal the notification menu. Long press and hold on the update message and an option to view "app info" will pop up. Click on that option and it will take you to the update notification screen where you will see a check box that you will have to clear to prevent notifications from appearing for OTA updates.

Great idea puffdaddy but the only problem is that I am looking for a way to prevent it from downloading itself. In my phone, on the last occasion, the update was already downloaded and then it informed me that it was ready to be installed. I am ideally looking for a way to prevent the download itself

That's strange. I never had that problem. Check your settings within the update app to make sure it's not set to auto download updates

I updated to Oreo last week and i noticed when i got Spotify on and locking the screen, the play bar is black and the controls are out of place. It used to look good before the update. Same with Textra, when changing the theme colour to white, i get this weird grey dot next to the name of the sender (on the lock screen). Also notifications from Messenger on the lock screen, the profile picture is out of place. I've already used factory reset twice.
how did u update?
