myLock in Market! Skip the Lock Screen!

[Jonny Kansas]

Can I ask what's so bad about the slide to unlock...?

[LtKen]

It's not bad, it's just two motions -- some people would prefer a single motion.

I may try this when
1) All the bugs are worked out
2) It doesnt temporarily show the slide lock screen (I'm sort of anal about dumb stuff like that)
3) The sweet "shake to unlock" feature is working

yes you can

It does show up briefly sometimes, however, the brief second it shows up takes less time than swiping they keyboard so I don't really mind. It is ever so slightly irritating to see it but better than swiping.

I DL'd this last night for the first time.....and last night it was working, although like Matth3w was talking about, the lockscreen would show up for a second or 2 before skipping it....

But this morning, I brought my phone out of sleep, and it stayed on the lockscreen like normal?? Like I forgot that myLock was even turned til I seen the icon up in the notifications bar...so I tried it again by locking the phone and sure enough when I pressed the power button it DID NOT skip the lockscreen, I had to slide it across to get into my phone....

Very weird...

Are you sure it is enabled? Go into the settings and make sure you didn't accidentally uncheck the box.

When you're on a phone call, myLock is not going to interfere because, by default, the lock screen is disabled by the OS when on a phone call.

If you go into the myLock app there are some settings you can change.
- Place settings launcher in notifcations : places an icon in the notifaction bar
- Keep screen awake : self explanatory
- Use widget welcome screen as lock screen: Enabling/disabling this function will change whether you see the slide to unlock screen briefly or the welcome screen from myLock.

The way myLock works is this.... it has to wait for the OS to call on the lock screen "ie wake up" and then it runs to bypass the screen. So this is where the 'flicker' of the lock screen is coming from. The lock screen has to be called upon first for this app to run.
It has improved greatly since the first alpha and I'm sure will continue to improve.

I don't have any of the options in the app enabled. Seems to run best for me this way. I found leaving the "notication bar" setting caused the lock screen to sometimes re appear.

What I have found that works is this. Disable all the check marks. If you still get this issue.... power down, do a battery pull and you should be fine.
Keep in mind this app is still being ironed out.

Thanks for the info guys....I'll check that out...

And yeah I know it's still in beta and has some ways to be improved, it is still a good handy little tool to have though...I'm not doggin it I swear!!

Works great.
Use widget welcome screen doesn't work for me though.
Which is fine....I just don't select it.

Thank you!
