I am coming over from having a Blackberry, and I am enjoying the Eris so far. I'm trying to find a few things that I think most people would want on their new phone, and one of them is a different locking application that will allow a person to just lock individual applications (i.e. email, SMS/MMS, picture files, etc.) that need some level of privacy. I do not have anything to hide, but just the nature of smartphones these days allows all of us to have a lot of personal info on our phones that we do not want to the average person to access if they pick up our phone.
The pattern lock that comes with the Eris is fine, but it forces us to unlock it everytime we access our phone, or NOT have it on at all (which doesn't help). I had a great app on my Blackberry which was also called PatternLock, which allowed the user to put the lock on ANY screen or app you wanted, in addition to just having it when you intially access your phone each time. I had it set up on 3 - 4 different programs, and then I could also activate it to have to be used when I would next need my phone.
If a person is using their phone 10 - 20 times a day, the current HTC Android included patternlock can be tedious, even though it DOES work. I've searched through the Android Market, and havent found a simple app that allows for a bit more customization. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, but just looking for a better way to do things.
Any helpful suggestions ?
