PocketShield is an intelligent device locking application. It prevents accidental touch on the phone screen and hardware keys specially when it is turned on not precisely by you. For example: when receiving calls, email notifications, SMS, alarms, battery alerts, reminders, etc. As you may have experienced, PocketPCs “wake up” whenever any of these events occur, they will also wake up when batteries are low, and randomly when phone signal changes antenna depending on your location. But the problem is: What if the phone is inside your pocket in that moment? Touch screens will take any touch over it as a user input, and arbitrary “touching” could cause many undesired results!
Updates in the new version :
- Added slide-down / slide-up from any point of the screen (setup at Settings > Unlock > With slide > +)
- Added option to select Notification Booster audio file (with audio preview)
- Improved landscape display mode (notification icons and power action buttons)
- Auto detect caller ID picture size. The legacy Outlook (low resolution) pictures will not be displayed in fullscreen to prevent distortion.
- Default setting for auto-rotation is now 0 (disabled). To always wake up in portrait must set HKLM\…\ROTATE=2
- Added support for Manila (TF3D) Music player (for “Except when” permissions). Now you can play TF3D Music in screen off and locked.
- Improved integration with Windows Media Player (for “screen off” operations)
- Changed: ViewMode with “tap screen” replaced by “with any button press” (with tap activated too easily when bringing out from pocket or case)
- Changed: If an app which is in the “Except when” list is active, when you power off device PS will close that application to prevent battery drain risk. This is the safe mode, to use the traditional(unsafe if not aware) way set HKLM\…\ADVEXCEP=1
- New higher quality icons for WM 6.5 Start menu
- Fixed Settings black screen on specific ROMs with Sense 2.1/2.5 [issue in 3.2.6 only]
- Fixed Settings not loading when SBP Shell 3D acceleration enabled [issue in 3.2.6 only]
- Faster loading of settings [compared to 3.2.6]
- SMS notifications improved
- Extra setup/tuning option for light sensor unlocking
- Fixed light sensor calibration bugs (not saving always)
