Das neue PocketShield 3.0 wurde gestern released.
DOWNLOAD
Ich habe für alle Interessierten ein kleines Video gemacht und einen Test dazu geschrieben. Ich kann es nur bedingt empfehlen und bin mir nicht sicher, ob die Neuerungen wirklich einen solchen Sprung in der Versionsnummer rechtfertigen.
Das Video und den Test gibt es hier:

Den Sinn des semi-transparenten Screens kann ich nicht so nachvollziehen, es sei denn, man hat irgendwas laufen, was einem zusätzliche Informationen anzeigt, die sich selbstständig updaten. Was gibt es da außer die Uhr?

Is this a battery killer app?
Not at all! Tests performed didn't throw any additional(nor noticeable) battery drain. When device is in unlocked state, PocketShield enters sleep mode so no extra battery is consumed (as well as when device is in standby/Off). Instead, it will prevent battery drain when turned on unintentionally(or by a notification), thanks to the auto power off mechanism it incorporates.
RAM footprint?
The activated version with no theme uses a range of 1.6Mb -1.8Mb of RAM. Not actually all because of itself, all .Net Framework based applications use a bit of extra memory to load some system libraries for quicker access and performance. To have a reference, the standard HTC Calculator which is a very simple application uses 1.3Mb. HTC Diamond has 196Mb RAM and TouchPro has 288Mb, that is 0.85% and 0.6% of used memory, in both cases less than 1%.
Supported devices
- HTC Touch Diamond
- HTC Touch Diamond2
- HTC Touch Pro (Raphael/Fuze)
- HTC Touch Pro2
- HTC Touch HD (Blackstone)
- Samsung Omnia
- All others QVGA in special mode.
