Screen Lock - Solved Once and For All

Then the app does not work thereafter?
oh, and also while the slide 2 unlock screen is showing during a call, I can still hit the disconnect call button???12-22-08 03:37 PMLike 0 - I'm having the same problem. I can see Device Memory and Media Card but when i try to expand device memory there is nothing there. Is there an option that has to be selected to see that?12-22-08 05:33 PMLike 0
- IF what you just said *is* true, then WHY on earth when I set the network, bluetooth, USB, or bascially any connections to either prompt OR deny I get a fatal exception, and from within the applications menu via option>advanced options....it says my phone will either reboot in 2 minutes OR to do it manually?????

Phone: Allow
All others (USB, Bluetooth, Location Data, Inernet): Deny
Even if I set Phone to deny, I do not see a fatal exception. You DO have to reboot if you "downgrade" the permissions for the application, that's standard RIM behavior.
As for the disconnect call button, I assume you are talking about the physical button below the screen? If so, that is correct and by design; this application locks the touch screen, it does not alter the behavior of the physical buttons on the phone.
Can you provide more information about your device OS, applications installed, and the exact procedure you go through that results in an exception being thrown.12-22-08 06:35 PMLike 0 - I had the same problem... the solution appears to be to use DM. Plug in your storm, start the media center, once it connects I get two autonotifications (pop ups) for each BB: device and media card. Use the option in either one of those to open with windows explorer. With DM/media center running I could then see the subfolders.12-22-08 06:53 PMLike 0
- New to BB (came from a Treo 700p) and love the Storm. I don't have a huge issue with my cheek hitting the screen but it has happened and would love a lock feature. However, adding 3rd party apps can be problematic.
What are the chances BB might incluse a similar feature in an update? I'd much prefer a BB native "fix" than a 3rd party overlay.12-22-08 08:18 PMLike 0 -
- Is there a way to instal the program and then easily enable or disable it? For instance the program AutoLock has this feature in options>autolock. I can then pick disable or enable. It would be great to implement a similar feature for TalkLock. I keep my storm in a holster and use a bluetooth most of the time, so I don't need TalkLock on most days - I'd rather not have it running if I don't need it. But, when I go skiing (or in the summer biking), I have the Storm loose in my pocket and will then be worried about erroneous screen clicking, either with a wired heaset into my helmet or with my ear. So, it would be great to be able to quickly activate it before heading out on those days. Any chance this capability is already there and I'm just not seeing it? If not, any chance of developing this in the future?
I would also ask that the slider "spring back" if not pushed all the way over to avoid the creeping slider syndrome...
Thank you for this great app!12-23-08 11:50 AMLike 0 - Is there a way to instal the program and then easily enable or disable it?

Autolock locks the phone after the backlight goes out and will not light up upon the screen being pressed and will be unlocked once the unlock button is pressed.
Talklock locks the phone after a phone call is made and is unlocked after a sliding motion is made on the screen.
I guess I don't understand your question/problem...
If you are trying to turn off talklock, it doens't appear to allow for that.12-23-08 12:19 PMLike 0 - I have both autolock and talklock installed and running...unless I am flawed, they have distinctly different functions.

I brought up AutoLock to demonstrate the functionality of being able to instal it but deactivate it except for the few times I actually need it. That is what I was asking regarding talklock - can it be turned off (but left installed) and then easily turned on when needed. Thank you for confirming that it can't be done....hopefully that will be part of any future versions.12-24-08 06:25 AMLike 0
- I never got this. What was the issue with Screen Lock in the first place?
Ahh, just did some reading on that program. I never considered the possibility that such a thing could be a problem. It has never messed with me before, but it's good to know that in the event that it does become a problem, I already have a solution.Last edited by Optimusv2; 12-24-08 at 06:35 AM.

This build will also change the slider to snap back to the begining if you do not unlock the screen in one swipe. Other features will have to wait a few days due to the memory leak.
Question: If you used the web site and supplied your email for the link to download will you get a notice that a new beta is available?

By the way- I was having trouble changing my backround pic. I saved it as a .png and had it in the right place but it wasnt working. So I opened Photoshop and re-saved it. What I noticed is Photoshop gives you the option to save .png's as Normal or Interlaced. Choose normal. When I went back and did that it worked.Last edited by ever1ast; 12-24-08 at 09:05 AM.

- Version 1.0.1 posted for download. Memory leak seems to be fixed. If you downloaded more than 24 hours ago you will need to request a new link.
You can tell which version you have by looking at the application properties; also this new version snaps the slider back to the beginning if you don't go all the way across the screen, so you can tell the difference pretty easily.12-24-08 01:47 PMLike 0 - Just thought I would add that if you have a password but enable outgoing calls without prompt for the password then if the device is locked the screen lock does not seem to be there if you make a call.

Yes, we plan to send email about the update, but at this point it won't happen until after the holiday. There is no substitute for reading CrackBerry (shameless plug, free of charge!)
