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.

version 2.1.0.4 is out and is supposed to fix that problem..
I ran the site and its fine why do you say its a phishing site?
I would have added this to the thread, but it would get lost in the endless amount of posts that come per minute. Disabling SD Card Notifications does not disable them, enabling and disabling again does not disable it either. Even with the volume completely off when you plug in the phone to charge it notifies you via ringtone. Very annoying
If this is how you're doing it, maybe you should keep the first post update with verified bugs and there fixes (if there is one) as they are reported. This way damaged' thread will be less cluttered and people won't have to wade through hundreds of pages of posts to find something.
good idea but don't forget... SEARCH = WADE RELIEF
Mine works just fine. I dont get a ringtone when I plug my phone in and the volume is off...
Im sorry, but my trackball is still intermitent. I thought it was supposed to be fixed?
And my broswer hangs on the last leg, even though the page is fully loaded, I have to press stop.

You sure its not working. Its light sensitive so that may be the case.

Its light sensitive? Hm...didnt know that. Could very well be my issue, is there a way to turn it off? I liked in 1.5 how it came on by just moving it. Let me know my phone was responding and just....brought a sense of comfort I can never explain. I guess maybe being jealous over it whilst having the g1.
Another issue I am having is at the lock screen. Before this update if my phone was locked, you press the power key and then either swipe your screen down, or press menu to unlock. Now whenever I press menu, it unlocks but automatically pulls up the menu on the home screen. Not a huge issue and definitely not complaining, just wanted to let you know.
has anyone else had the issue where you answer an incoming call and there is no sound on your end or their end. and the only fix is to restart your phone?. it is very annoying. i found this in testing but it stopped. now its starting up again today
Bump
I know i annoy you all with my trackball b!tching, cause its no big deal to anyone else, but to me, I could live with all the original bugs if the trackball was constant.
Also, friendstream? I didnt see it in the rom, and cant find it, and idek if it works in damages latest release.
Total noob question, but the only reason im interested in friendstream is because, to be honest, idek what it IS. Link fb, ms, and twitter tkgether right?
I'm having trouble with VVM, when you call and vm answers it asks for the number your calling and the # and then says it doesn't recognize try again.......I tried google voice but it won't even go to VM at all......

I tried to search for the answer to my question, but was unable to find anything that would help. I may just be using the wrong wording, but anyways here is my problem:
I am running CM 4.2.15.1 and rarely have any problems, however, my phone will periodically take a long time to refresh the home screen when pressing the home button. It has taken 20-30 seconds to refresh and sometime doesnt at all. If I reboot my phone it fixes the problem for a little while but then it comes back. i have tried to wipe dalvik and the problem still exists. Does anybody know what the issue is. Thanks in advance.

Try a full wipe(backup your data) or just use a different rom.
Spare parts -> Keep Home in memory.
Checked keep home in memory in spare parts and everything seems to be working great. Thanks a lot.

I know that your question was already answered but out of curiosity what home Launcher were you using (default, advanced launcher, helix, open home, ahome, dxtop, etc), how many screens are you using and what do you have on your screens? Sometimes if you are using a lot of widgets that need to refresh themselves such as a clock, weather, news, whatever it can really slow things down. Also you can try adjusting your swappiness, compcache amount etc. Play around with it but always make a backup just in case. What you think works good for you now can still be improved based on what you can do with the right adjustments.
I am using the default launcher with 5 screens, and only 2 widgets on my home screen. right now i am using 96mb swap.

Only two huh. Well isn't that odd. Okay... well I am glad you found your answer.
As stated, screen will not go off via timeout or power button tap. Power button is recognized and will bring up shut down menu like normal.
Device is rooted (thanks DG) and had been running well for over a week. Defrosted all apps from tibu in case I got over zealous but no better. A factory reset has not cleared it up either. Hoping the oneclick from the root package will correct the issue, but thats not until I get home later this evening.
Has anyone experienced / recovered from this issue?
Smart stay is turned off
I've had noticeable lag like a few seconds and sometimes I wonder if it's going to shut off but it always does. Better set a dark lock screen wallpaper to conserve your battery

Thanks for the thoughts.
I had already gone through the standard - double check the settings, remove recent apps. When all that failed and a factory reset still didn't clear it up I was beginning to worry about some kind of hardware damage (don't see how since I treat it better than my child ).
Fortunately the one click from the root seems to have restored proper operation. Back to rooting and rebuilding!

I'm having the same problem, I rooted through vroot.... what do you mean one click fixed it little my incite would be helpful....
thank you
Mine just did this, scared the hell out of me It also didn't go into deep sleep before it started. (Not rooted).
Pulled the battery, waited 30 seconds, plugged it back in.... same thing. Waited a few minutes, seems to have sorted itself out.
Scary....
This is definitely a software bug and it is related to the Headphone detection bug that people are having too (it's actually the same bug causing both issues). This happens to me quite often after I restart my phone. It's kind of like the phone hangs during the startup process. I've also noticed that the wifi/bluetooth status that was present before restarting the phone (i.e. whether they on/off) doesn't get applied until the bug sorts itself out.
For me sometimes this works: open an app like Chrome and then hit the home button to get back to your launcher. This works 95% of the time for me. I'm wondering if it has something to do with not having Touchwiz set as the default launcher.
I'm experiencing this same problem. If I don't manually turn the screen off by tapping the power button, the screen will not timeout.
I really hate to bring such a general question here, but this has gotten to the point where it's making me not like an otherwise amazing device. I don't necessarily expect a full answer to the problem, but I figured it was worth asking
Since I got my N6 (say about 4 months now), I've had an odd problem where I'll get completely random crippling lag while typing. it'll let me keep typing and then after a few seconds the places I tapped will start to ghost type behind where me. At first I blamed the google keyboard and tried swiftkey, but it does the same thing.
This has followed me across several ROMs and kernels, and I'm really curious wtf is causing it. If anyone has anything to say on this, please post here about your experiences and solutions

Do you have magnification gestures on in the accessibility menu? That can slow typing down to a crawl because it is waiting to register 3 consecutive taps to magnify the screen.

Not sure if you've found a solution to your issue, but just a few weeks ago (ever since the 5.1.1 OTA update) I was suffering the same issue. I found wiping the cache partition using stock or custom recovery will do the trick. I just did this a few days ago and have not experienced any keyboard lag or goofy keyboard glitches since. Simply boot into recovery by powering down, then hold volume down and power together. Use the volume buttons to select recovery, and the power button to confirm it. You'll reach a screen with the little Android guy and text below it saying no command. First hold power, then press volume up. You'll see a list of options. Using the volume keys again, highlight wipe cache, press power to select. Wiping cache will not delete any of your settings or media. It will take a minute or two, then you can select restart from the menu options. Hope this works for you as it did for me.

Just found this post after a search as I get same issue. Have tried cache wipe, but comes back after a while. While this exhibits on the keyboard quite regularly, it also has crippling lag elsewhere where the phone becomes unresponsive for a more than a few seconds.
Currently running Marshmallow.
Anyone ever find what causes this?
I have the same problem, but I noticed that it only happens on landscape rotation.

Thank you! This was driving me nuts! I actually quite like the magnification gestures feature, but if it makes my keyboard lag then I am never using it again until it's fixed. This never used to happen before today.
