Thread: PatternLock has Upgraded to v2.0.0

Tafasa has upgraded their popular customizable lock application. They have added some pretty cool new features. I've been using PatternLock for a long time, and this upgrade is very nice, and pretty extensive.

FEATURES:

• Many autolock options such as startup and device inactivity
• Lock individual applications, call screen or the entire device
• Disable autolock when in predefined locations
• Backup/Restore options to encrypted file
• Custom background image, and tons of customization options for the look of the lock screen
• Theme-able lock screen using PatternLock .pltheme files
• Email, SMS & MMS, BBM, and missed call notifications
• Emergency call support
• Assign to hardware lock key
• Show weather info from BerryWeather (BeWeather) 2.2+
• Lock out the device if the incorrect pattern is entered a maximum times. Completely customizable.

The upgrade is FREE if you already have the previous version. New customers can get this for the low price of $2.99 !! So you know...this is a Storm application only.

This is one of the most feature packed apps available for the BB. I just upgraded to v2 and was totally blown away!

I love this app!

I agree. This app has finally been upgraded to the point it replaced ultimate unlock. No memory leak, and all the features I could want. Now, if I could only get that theme nate is using................

I downloaded the update yesterday and even after a couple of battery pulls it had a serious memory leak on my Storm 2. Not sure if it's because of the .517 OS or not. Has anybody else had any issues?

Not leaking on my 9550. You sure its not another app causing it?

Upgraded already to v2.0.1 and it has 3 themes, and 11 dot images. I'm using baseballs.

Update... did a re-install plus a couple of 30 second battery pulls and that seemed to fix the leak. Memory seems to be holding for now, I'll see how it goes for the next few hours.

Submitted a theme to the guys at Pattern Lock. Hopefully they will add it to their site soon.

This is by far the best locking app for the Blackberry Storm. I deleted Ultimate Lock because it was to buggy. Pattern Lock is super fast and no battery drain or memory leak. This one is a keeper, if anyone is looking for a locking app, this is it.

I installed the 2.0.0.0 Lite version and since then my scheduled power-off/power-on of my Storm as well as the scheduled reboot via QuickPull do not happen. I'm not sure if there are any permissions I need to screw with or not. I just saw that v2.0.0.2 was up there so I just installed it, so we'll see if that fixes my issue. Anyone else experience this? D/L link for 2.0.0.2 Lite is http://go.mobihand.com?op=dlmh&pd=32318&l=1&ps=1

UPDATE-1: It seems after testing 2.0.0.2 with ALL permissions set to Allow as required, if PatternLock screen is not active my phone will power off and then back on again, however if the screen is active the phone will NOT power off. I'm guessing if this prevents the phone from powering off then it is also preventing QuickPull from running (I haven't tested this part yet...).

UPDATE-2: [From Tafasa technical support...] Hi, PatternLock 2.0 brought a lot of new features, and one of them was enhanced security. The application now has an option to allow applications to pop up information while locked, and that is by default set to no. The features you mentioned in your email are ones that only work by popping up information first. PatternLock now will dismiss them because of this new security setting. PatternLock Lite does not have the option to disable this in its feature set, but it is available, alongside tons more features, in the full version. Tafasa Support

[From me to Tafasa technical support...] Hi. I just recently upgraded to PL Lite 2.0.0.0 (and just today to 2.0.0.2) and have a small issue. When using the 1.0.0.0 version I was able to have my Storm 9530 perform a scheduled power-off at 12am daily and a scheduled power-on at 6:30am daily. Additionally QuickPull was scheduled for a 6:45am reboot daily. Since installing the 2.0.0.X versions, this is no longer possible if the PatternLock screen is active (I have it set to lock after 30mins of inactivity). If the PL screen is not active (unlocked) then all works as normal. Is this by design or perhaps a bug in the new version? Are there any particular permissions I should edit (everything is set to Allow as instructed by the app)? Please advise.

UPDATE-3: [I][From Tafasa technical support...] Hi, Unfortunately, the possibility of rolling back to a previous version does not exist. We can only support the latest version of our applications, and we update all our distribution channels to contain these versions. However, I don't believe you will regret the purchase as PatternLock has been widely regarded as the best device lock available, especially with all the new customization features introduced in 2.0.

[From me to Tafasa technical support...] Thank you for your prompt response. So if I understand you correctly, then either I have to purchase the full version or roll back to the 1.0.0.0 version. Is that correct?

I guess I'll have to pull the file(s) from an old backup I have saved; I'm glad I have multiple backups saved on my PC.
