Hi,
There might be another issue with the headset button action :
Even when the "unlock with headset button" is unchecked, the phone unlocks when double-tapping the button, which leads to the last dialed number recall action...
I thought that when enabled, this feature was intended to unlock and pick up a call, but only when the phone is ringing.

Actually, the headset button reminds active whatever the settings in PS...

Note: I reset all default settings first after upgrade as advised.

Is there a way to change the default "Boost Notifcation" sounds/tones? I have some nice "Alarm Wav/MP3 Sounds" and would like to use them for the "Remind...Intervals"

Thanks

Edit: Found that the "Reminder" setting in the "Sound/Notifcation" has control of the PS "Remind....Intervals"

PS protects phone when inside pocket. Headsets are supposed to be used outside the pocket, even more acts as a remote control to the phone. It is also used to initiate Voice commands This is why PS does not lock headset button (and for other technical reasons as well).
The "Enable wired headset button" on incoming call is there for one reason: At incoming calls WM internally "transfers" the ANSWER key functionallity to the headset button. So if you have the option to "keep answer keys disabled" it will also disable the headset button and wont let you answer with headset.

Actually this is a feature that causes confusion, and it will probably be removed in the future because has not much sense.

Yes, PS pulls the audio file from there.

It depends... For example, when listening music, we don't necessary keep the phone in the hand, that's why the power/button lock features integrated to some players are useful (now that the update for app permission allow to use these players options instead of PS).

[quotes]even more acts as a remote control to the phone[/quote]
I'd like to if it was possible with the standard headset !... But I did'nt find any player that supports remote control with the only standard button of the headset, and I don't know any wired headset that has several control buttons (only some BT headset have this). Thus, I don't have any idea how the headset button could act as a remote control...

Actually, this is the best reason why the button shouldn't be locked, but it would be wise to let the choice to the user to lock it or not...

According to me, what causes confusion is the position in the PS settings "tree", given this option is placed in the incoming call options. So unchecking the box let us think that the button will have non effect on an incoming call, neither at any other moment if we have always checked the "lock hardware buttons" box...
That's what I thought, and that's why I was surprised to see that the button wasn't locked like other hardware buttons.

I think it would be much more convenient to have a checkbox for headset button lock/unlock feature under hardware button section, and let the actual checkbox to allow responding to incoming call only.

I don't know if I've been clear enough in my explanations... Let me know if not

I there a way to remove this green bar that covers up the icons, which shows up when the "Enable Notification Booster" is checked.

I tried the "remove bar" fix and it still shows up.

No option currently. That green means it is reminding you. It will go away after you unlock.

Error in Shield_ON.lnk :

64#"\����-����\Program Files\PocketShield\PocketShield.exe" \silent

Must be:

64#"\Флеш-диск\Program Files\PocketShield\PocketShield.exe" \silent

Thanks, will check.

Since i already paid for the license for my wife and myself, do we need to pay for the upgrade?

Thanks for a great product

Hi
When I install a theme, how can I choose that theme? or change between themes?
I couldn't find a way to do it ..
Thanks

Need first to download themes previews, with the button. Then you can navigate through them.

Regards,

When I press Download themes previews, I receive an error message: An unexpected error has occurred in pckshdControler.exe ...

After downloaded themes previews. I can can navigate through them. However, I only got 17 themes in my list. It should by 24 themes if you refer to your themes available to date.

Please help to clarify.

Some themes were not applicable because were outdated and had missing files, were not compatible with current version. Creators must update them so them we add them to the supported list.
