Intelliscreen

[QueBert]

I want to buy this app because I simply love it. But I have a problem getting it to show up, the faq says to swipe to the left and right of the time to get it to come up or disappear. This does not work for me most of the time, when I do get it to load I attribute it more to dumb luck than anything else. Right now my method is basically to go crazy with my index finger over the the lock screen until it comes up. The method they talk about in the FAQ should be simple and I can't get it lol.

My trial is good for a few more days, I have to attribute my problem to my lack of intelligence. I'm wondering if I'm the only one who has issues with it?

I'm running an iPod Touch 2.2 Jailbroke

Mine loads automatically usually. Sometimes it doesn't come up, but I wait a few seconds and it does, or if you double tap the Home button while on the lock screen.. that seems to boost the process for me. Never have gotten the hand of swiping the time, or the individual items either. It's a hit or miss thing for me, but the $10 was well worth it to have weather, calendar, sms and mail all on the lock screen. Saves me so much time.

humm I'm just having dumb luck with it, great lol. I want to buy it because I really like it, when it works any ways. but if I'm going to have to struggle to get it to actually come up I'd rather go without it. Double tapping the home button on the lock screen didn't help but it did make a small audio player box come up. I have never seen that before - very cool. Haha thanks for inadvertently showing me something new

I'd get it if it were in the app store

Sure.. no prob. I kinda regret buying it now.. but can't do anything about it.. heh..

It crashes a lot. The problem with the iPhone is 128MB of total system memory and when it's used up, the system calls for any program not using memory actively to close. This includes Intelliscreen. It sometimes reloads itself, but sometimes I need to respring to get it to reload. Double-tapping brings up the audio controls, even with Intelliscreen. Single-tapping brings up IntelliDial once you purchase IntelliScreen. I find Intelliscreen extremely useful even if it crashes. I need to update to 2.2 though (still on 2.1 because of all my conf files needing to be backed up first over WiFi to a server... too lazy).

Maybe i'm just lucky, but Intelliscreen is very stable for me....

I have a lot of daemons in the background so pretty much my entire iPhone is unstable due to lack of memory.

Overall Intelliscreen isn't horribly unstable, but the touch actions for the program don't work as well as I'd like them to.

I jailbroke my iPhone as I really liked the idea of this program. In practice, it kind of sucks. I'm glad they offer a trial, because I'd be pissed if I paid $10 for it.

Problems:
Mail refreshes so horribly slowly on the lockscreen, it's useless. Might as well unlock and open mail.
Having more than one city in the weather plugin, it's impossible to accurately change between them on the lockscreen. Sometimes the city name won't match up properly to the weather, sometimes it'll only show half the weather, etc. Very hard to control/scroll through.
Those were the 2 big features I wanted from this app, and both are near total failures in my experience. On top of that there are the other funky touch actions others have discussed, poor documentation and otherwise unintuitive settings/design/layout.

hummm, my trial is about to run out and I'm still having problems getting it to come up. Sometimes it seems to load on it's own. I have yet to figure out how to manually load it, my method of going ape shiit on the lock screen to get it to come up only works some of the time lol. I want to love this program but with 1 days in my trial left I think I'll wait for an update. But if it expires I don't think I'll be able to try out an updated version

somebody needs to make a similar program. I can get my SBSettings to come up every time, PocketTouch works flawlessly, this one just has too many issues for me
