With the in-built lock, when a call comes in with the screen locked you are able to answer and end the call without unlocking, though you have to unlock to exit the phone app to return to the today screen. With Onlock the call is definitely not ended when pressing the end key and due to the window not updating I also have the caller ID window displayed over the phone app when a call is answered. If you could mimic the behavious of the built-in lock and have Onlock Pro unlock the answer and end keys for incoming calls that would be great.

Another thing, if you manually lock the phone and then power off via power button or power-saving settings it overrides the "power off if lock not removed" timer setting when you power back on which means the phone will be governed by the power settings as to when it shuts down. Maybe not a but per say, but it feels a bit inconsistent. What may be a bug is if you deactivate the power off timer but have OnlockPro lock device automatically on sleep when you power on the phone turns off within a few seconds, ignoring the power-save settings. Powering on after a manual lock the phone will follow the power-save settings on when to sleep.

Nonetheless, I think its the best PPC locking program and look forward to future versions. Thanks again

PS Just to add, no font problems here on my TyTN and no lockups so far either.
Good point on the power off if lock not removed being overridden. The reason for this is because if I am listening to music and I manually lock and shut off screen, if the timer was still active, it would shut off and stop the playback when the timer expires. I guess I should change it so that the timer option is only overridden it you select 'lock and turn off screen' or just make it an option to override.

I will see about leaving the phone keys unlocked. Not sure if it is possible (stuff built into the OS always gets to cheat) but I will try.
