So how does it work with a PIN / pattern lock?
The problem with most lock screen enhancements is that anything you put there is outside your phone security "firewall" and available to anybody who picks up your phone. The 4.2 lock screen widgets work fairly well with this (eg: you can open the camera app without unlocking the phone, but attempting to swipe over the gallery forces you to unlock). However they are (I assume) using the core framework APIs to do that and I presume support for it is coded into the apps, while this seems to be doing it for any app.
- radley 13y agoIt sounds like they're avoiding the issue for now by only allowing non-locked users: > When you send them your email address they ask if you use a lock screen. (re: @ev9)
- GoldStarBrother 13y agoActually, their F.A.Q.[1] says that they do support this feature: >Is Cover compatible with a security code? (passcode, pattern, etc.)? Yes. Cover is compatible with both PIN codes and security patterns. When you have a security code set, Cover’s “peek” feature is disabled. The app icons will slide across the screen, the security code screen will appear, and then the app will launch. In order to use peek, we recommend that you configure your security code not to take effect immediately. For example, if you set it to a 1-minute or 5-minute timeout, you’ll be able to use peek without sacrificing much security. [1]: https://www.coverscreen.com/faq https://www.coverscreen.com/faq
