I am currently using lockbot pro and I have the option set to ask for a pattern before it will unlock (which has enough glitches as is but anyway...). Now what I noticed on my HTC Incredible is that if you hold the home button it shows you the last things you had running. So when it asks for my security pattern I just hold home and click htc sense. No password needed.

Apparently you can bypass the lockpattern by hitting the Home Screen during an incoming call:
View 7 Replies View RelatedI just noticed yesterday accidentally that you can press and hold the search button on the lock screen and perform anything Google Voice Actions is capable of. I am using a Droid 2 unrooted. This may affect the Droid X as well. This is a huge security flaw in Motorola's modified pattern/PIN lock screen. Hopefully this thread garnishes enough attention so that this can be patched soon! Steps to reproduce:
1. Lock your screen
2. Press and hold the search button "magnifying glass"
3. Speak any voice action and the phone will respond. Note: you will not get any visual or audible cues (in Google Voice Actions) that it is working, but it is!
Ive just noticed today that with the phone locked, upon recieving a call the phone switches to being unlocked even after the call is finished. i do look after this phone much more than i have done with other mobiles, but it strikes me that if i do misplace it, the first thing i do is get a mate to ring me to see if its under somthing or at someones house ect. it seems that doing this unlocks the phone for anyone to use or to have a nosey through your personal stuff..is there an autolock after call feature? or an app that does this?

I have password protected the device to stop the phone being used while it is on, but it's really pointless when someone can turn the phone off and just reflash the device.
Granted, they could do that anyway even if i had an offical rom without the recovery image, but it would still be a nice feature if it's possible.
Decided I'd try out this PandaHome that I've been hearing so much about. And so far, I really like it. Aside from it keeps alphabetizing my dock bars (I want the icons in a certain order) and my Lockbot Pro won't work.Is anybody using Panda and able to give me some solutions to these problems? The dock bar is not a HUGE issue, I can deal, but I paid for Lockbot Pro and I want to be able to use it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedLockbot Pro is a great idea, but has made my Eris very glitchy. I would like to disable it, without deleting it. I do feel like the app may improve in the future, but do not want to pay for it again. It is the only paid app I have ever downloaded, and being very cheap I want to know if I can disable it for the meantime.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have noticed a flaw in Android, When connecting to an IMAP server Doesn't matter if it is Exhange or Unix the Android Email client will not close the connection. In order for IMAP to work correctly a client makes a conneciton and gets updates. If a connection to the IMAP server is left opened you will not see any new updates.
Step by step on how it should work.
Example will be Exchange server:
Create a new connection point to your IMAP server (Exchange) port 143 (cleartext) or 993 (Secure) add username: John Doe Add Domain: *Optional with VPN Password: ************** SMTP server (Exchange)

I am using lockbot pro and I noticed my phone was being woken up by all the buttons not just power. So I went to the app, menu, config and checked prevent wake up. But now the power button wakes it up fine but all the other buttons wake it up to a dimly lit lock screen. Is there a way to get it back to only the power button working like without the app?

View 8 Replies View Relatedi downloaded the lockbot and was seeing if i liked it now when i reboot it brings up a menu and asks to complete action using home or htc sense and i dont want either i want my normal lock screen from fresh soo i dont know what it is doing i try uninstalling lockbot and restarting but that didnt work either. if i hit home it goes to a totally different looking screen with none of my bots on there or anything.
I like Lockbot, for the swipe and different picture, but i cannot find out how to remove the vibrate when unlocking?I've tried everything. There is just a "Sound" option, not a vibrate.
View 3 Replies View RelatedSo i have launcher pro set as default and i have the action keys set in the preference to take me to home if not i'm not on it and then to take me to a view of all 7 screens if i'am on the home page. But can anyone tell me why EVERY time that i unlock my screen with lockbot pro, i can either hit home if i'm on the home page or home on any other page and it comes up with a "Complete Action Using" Box and i have a choice between lockbot and launcher pro, and there is a set as default check box at the bottom i check that and select launcher pro BUT every damn time i bring my screen out of lock it just does it again after hitting home. Anyone else having this issue better yet able to solve it?
View 1 Replies View RelatedJust thought I'd tell you all about the experience I've uncovered with Lockbot and airplane mode as well as the workaround for it. Although I didn't really notice any huge problems with battery life, I decided to check out the 50% without signal bug. Sure enough I have it. So I switched into airplane mode briefly to clear the problem, which it did (0% without signal currently).The problem is that this knocked Lockbot offline and me back to the standard lock screen (including the one with the airplane when in airplane mode). I entered Lockbot and messed around a little, then exited. Normally this would enable Lockbot but no dice this time around.A reboot of course solved the Lockbot problem, but then I had the 50% bug again, which was of course fixed using airplane mode, which then naturally stopped Lockbot.What I found that worked was to use airplane mode to stop the 50% bug, enter Lockbot and uncheck enable Lockbot (disabling it even though it was already disabled), exit Lockbot, return to Lockbot and check the box again to enable it. Problem 'solved'.

I have noticed this since updating to 2.2. Especially with Handcent and the Market. At first I thought it might be an issue with the application but then I noticed it also happens when I select something from the notification bar, the bar will default to landscape mode for a second on two before correcting itself.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am experiencing 2 major flaws with the HTC phone calendar NOT google calendar and am wondering am I missing something...
1) Again, on the stock phone calendar itself, when I set an event with a start date of lets say today until aug 9th and I select once a week, it shows that event everyday and indefinitely so in other words it doesn't end on Aug 9th. It keeps going and going...
2) Is there not an option to set 2 days every week. I used to have it on my palm pre and it worked flawlessly. For instance, I have classes on mon and wed but I can't find an option to set it for both those days.
I kept rejecting phone calls whilst pulling the desire from my pocket, so I have switch the lock screen using lockbot to a side swipe instead, this is working very well.However, now when i receive a call it jumps straight to an answer or decline screen which is just as easy to reject by mistake.Does anyone know a solution this problem? I suppose what im looking for is to have to unlock the phone before answering the call.

I duly called orange customer services and they arranged a courier to switch it for a brand new one, top job there, I'm not sure how long that warrenty lasts though.
Now the new one, arrived precisely 5 hours and 31 minute ago, I placed it on charge very carefully and waited for the light to go green. I unplgged it and messed around with setting apps and home screen and the like to get it how I want it and plugged it into my laptop to transfer some ringtones accross...
Does the Droid Incredible Suffer from A Potential Grounding Flaw Causing Touchscreen Issues?
View 49 Replies View RelatedI can't be the first person to claim this, but I do think I have become infected by some type of virus or malware. I recently downloaded the new flash player for Android, which I'm told has this new security flaw. Today I noticed for the first time while I was browsing the Internet that it appears as though someone has taken over my browser. They were scrolling up and down, left and right, and even tabbing (sounds like they're on an actual machine) through the various hyperlinks on the page. Later, I was in my gmail app, and the same thing. I opened up an HTML email, and it was scrolling, and tabbing through links in the email. I immediately shut down my phone. I have three anti-virus software apps running, and scanned with all - no issues. Does anyone have a recommendation for what I should do - and what I should be worried about? The first thought that came to mind was log back on and uninstall anything related to Flash / Adobe Reader... however if I'm already infected, does it matter? Should I wipe my HTC incredible? What about the storage card? If they're smart, I assume they put something there since they know most have no idea how to wipe that.

I noticed something on the Evo, which made me question whether is was a light leakage design flaw, or was it implemented feature.. With the lights off in a dark room, take a look at your Evo. DO you see how the charge port lights up, while the HDMI port doesn't? It seams to be an even glow, as though not a crack in the hardware which lets a little light through, so do my question is, do you think its a design flaw was it intentionally implemented?
I find this very useful, as I plug my evo in in complete darkness very often, and its all gravy that the port lights up when the screen is lit.
So you all know how HTC oddly designed this phone to have it rest on the camera lens. Well my lens is cracked. Not sure when or how it happened. I wont even say it cracking wasn't my fault. Likely was. However I do have insurance and the repair part of it too. I pay 7 dollars a month.
Well took my phone into Sprint and they told me they couldn't repair the lens because it's considered physical damage and if they repaired it it would void the warranty agreement they have with HTC.
So my question is why do I pay an extra 3 dollars a month for repairs when they can't even repair my phone?
They call it physical damage I call it design flaw. They said I would have to file a claim with Asurion and pay 100 deductible to get a replacement phone. Well I dont want a replacement phone. Mine works flawlessly. I dont want to get rid of it. Let alone why would someone in their right mind pay 100 dollars for just a cracked piece of plastic or glass the size of a dime?
The problem I'm having is that I can't resize the Moto widgets.. This is a pretty big deal to me cause I love them. Is any body else's doing the same?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just realized that for the past 30 minutes or so, I had my phone sitting on my comforter while I was tweaking it after installing the leaked Froyo ROM, and it was working!
Before I installed this ROM, my phone would NEVER work while sitting on my comforter without touching a finger to the side (the whole grounding issue).
It sure seems as if this update contained a fix for the grounding issue (like the EVO had a while back IIRC).
Lot's of talk about the speaker volume/tone on the Droid X.
I too am a bit concerned with the speaker volume and tone on my Droid X.
I did a test. Droid X vs. Garmin Nuvi GPS - Google Nav vs. Garmin built in maps.
I plotted a route across town and fired up both units in my car. I turned on my car radio. I started to drive.
Results:
1. The Garmin was louder and clearer than the Droid X when speaking turn by turn instructions.
2. The Garmin was loud enough while listening to the radio.
3. The Droid X was not loud enough to be heard over the radio(volume set to max).
I don't want to plug my Droid X into the AUX on the radio because I then lose use of the radio.
Is this a hardware issue in the Droid X or something that can be fixed by a software update?
