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......

When I get my voice mail notification, I also get a text message saying "Android has sent you a Sprint Voice Message. Call 408-970-0000 to listen.

Very weird and a little annoying.
Dont know why people are having issues with vvm. Mines worked perfect everytime. Fresh wipe and flash?

Hello!
Congratulations for the job!
I have installed the last xdandroid on my Touch Diamond2.
Everything perfect, but when the mobile is going in sleep mode, the green LED lights up, when it stays in this state I can not receive calls until restart it, although when I call my number, tone is heard ..
Any ideas?
Thanks

I am sorry but the problem is in the kernel and there is nothing that can be done right now only by fixing the kernel.
no problem, xdandroid is a great work, thanks for the answer.
Hi,
I am real wondering that people ask for ROMS when this bug is still there.
I can live without sound, Flash, maybe WIFI but to receive calls is a basic.
-Are there people do not have this problem
- Is this depending if you have Monodie or not?
- Is there something I can help with debuging? It looks for me the whole call service is geting struggeling when green LED comes.
Please understand,
The developement is so incredible to change from a crap WM6.5 phone to Froyo the MUST HAVE feeling is so strong.
That's why
Cheers and thanks

I'm reading that too, but on the other hand many people are stating they're using XDAndroid for days without the call sleep bug. And they have the same kernel as me, so that makes you wonder...
Has anyone tried this possible workaround?
Lost Signal Workarround
Hi, I tried,
If Startup.txt is with ...pm_sleep_mode=3 then it works but lot of draining
if standart startup.txt have sleep problem
Greets
Dirk
I'm using pm_sleep_mode=2 which seems to be a good trade off between battery and the sleep problem. Sometimes after the phone has been going awhile outgoing calls don't work but incoming ones do. That can be fixed by going into airplane mode and back out again.
I tried all values 0 to 4 for pm_sleep_mode, but no luck. I even made sure I had a new data.img created every time for every value. Nothing. First incoming call immediately goes wrong.
Hi all,
Friend and I both have the Incredible S, loving it! He has a slight issue and I can't for the life of me solve it. Everything was working fine but now when he has an incoming call and the screen is off the incoming call screen flashes up briefly then disappears and device shows normal 'desktop' - you can't answer the call!
If you call his phone and the screen is active, incoming call screen pops up as expected and you can answer call.
Any ideas peeps?
Thanks

Hmmm,
I'm having the exact same problem. Running Fresh Evo on HTC Evo. Would love to know why this is happening. Any ideas?

Never worked it out, friend did factory reset in the end to fix it.

Bummer. Here's some info:
Latest Fresh EVO

Rom Manager Janitor
Juice Defender Ultimate Juice
Titanium Backup Pro
Cachemate for Root
ShootMe
Adfree Android

Call Control (problem before this, though)
Launcher Pro
Any hints?
Having the same exact issue. This sucks... This started today for me around noon ( no calls before then), and has persisted throughout the day. Yesterday was fine.
I use Google voice for all of my calls.
The only thing I've done today that I haven't done every other day was that I installed the Gtalk app this morning. In the past, I've used Gmail directly. However, my computer was off during at least one of the phone calls I received today, so I can't imagine this could be it...
Perhaps because I installed gAlwaysIdle (an addition to Gtalk that makes you never go idle or always be idle) as well?
Does this correspond with anyone else's experience?
I'll probably just reflash my phone
<Rooted Atrix 4g running GingerBlur>
hmm this sounds like a serious firmware problem tho..
all i could suggest is flash a firmware that the most of the ppl are using, and dont got probs with...
well doing a good reboot seems to help alot these days. So disable the fastboot option en turn it off, wait a while (10 secs should be enough) en start the device again.
Also had some of the trouble like crashing things and this solved it for me. Give it a try and hope it will fix it.
Otherwise there seems to be no other way than a factory reset (go htc!)
The screen goes black (more like dark bluish) very often, This happens very often after a call ends too, sometimes you cant see the incoming calls, the only way to get rid of it is to, press the power button, but the incoming call gets disconnected, please help, searched online no solution, if i use any gingerbread rom, it works without any issues, please help

I don't know anything about your phone to offer any solution. The more information you provide, the greater the chance of finding out the cause of your lag.

I have the same issue with mine I thought it was due to water damage but I don't think is. It's proberly lag but then I find if you have volume to wake enabled then this never happens but that depends of the Rom has that feature or not
