Default PocketShield

I ran across this, not exactly sure where, but it's sick man:

http://pocketshield.netserver01.com/

It should be perfectly compatible with the HD because it does indeed have an ambient light sensor and obviously an accelerometer.

Check out the videos:

It's pretty damn nice.

I think it will make a great add-on to a beautiful phone, it does cost $10.90, but as far as I can tell it's well worth it.

Give it look!

On the Touch HD you now have to slide to pick up the phone. So I really don't see why we should use this app. It will be handy for the Diamond or Pro.

But what about announcements? Fpr example SMS alert, notification alert etc.. Do you have to slide also to unlock the Device in those cases?

Hi!

I'm still struggeling to find the right way to lock the phone. The ideal solution would be to:

1) Have the phone unlocked when I switch it on with the Power button (so that I can immediately use it after deliberately turning it on)

2) Have the phone automatically locked when it wakes up due to a phone call, SMS or warning, etc. (so that I don't press anything by accident when it is in my pocket).

This seems to be the only really logical way to use device lock. Obviously, PocketShield can not do that, neither can S2Us or any other locking app I've tried...

Regards!

I had it installed, but removed it quite quickly again. For some reason, it did not suit me. I did not see any use of the lightsensor and shaking it to unlock was impossible...
All it added for me was a slide to unlock, for which there are other progs. It also replaceed the default slide to anwser, without enabling it myself...

I am sticking with the default lock or the s2u prog...

As a matter of interest, where in the manual is that documented.
I tried a search but could not find it.
