No Lock?

[pappy53]

Is there a way to prevent the Droid from locking itself?
Also, what is the procedure for hanging up a call? My call screen flashes up and goes out very quickly, and I can't find an easy way to end a call.

Just pull down your notifications from the top of the screen and access the call.

The latest alpha2 version of myLock for Android allows you to bypass the slider lock screen entirely so that only a press on the mute/power key is required to "unlock" your phone.

I use an app called "Gentle Alarm" which is an alarm clock app. Allows you to bypass the slide-lock screen, which I like.

This is great news. I'll give both apps a shot.

The latest version seems to work as advertised (thank you), but it places an icon in the notifications panel. The developer talks about this as being a feature, but I'd rather it wasn't there.

When you take the phone away from your head it should turn the current call screen back on so you can hit End Call. If you're not seeing that, try swiping your hand over the top of the phone where the earpiece is to trigger the proximity sensor. If it's happening on a regular basis, you may have a defective phone which you may want to consider exchanging...

Note: first go to settings / applications / check "unknown sources" to allow installation of apps from places other than market

Also note: if you use Taskiller, be sure to include myLock in the ignore list.

I already have a permanent icon in the notification bar from screebl, so it doesn't bother me. Besides, that little android is kinda cute.
