Unlock With WiFi 2.3 has been released on the Android Market.

• Keeping notifications turned on improves reliability on devices with low available memory. This is because Android requires an app to show a notification when it’s running in the foreground. Also minor bug fixes.

Unlock With WiFi 2.0.1 has been released on the Android Market. It just has a bug fix for some HTC phones. During a phone call, the screen would not stay on. It would flash on for a moment, then turn off again.

I’m proud to announce the release of Unlock With WiFi 2.0! This is a major update that adds some often requested features. The biggest new feature is Device Admin mode. DA mode uses a different method of unlocking the phone. Why use a different method? Well, here are some of DA mode’s advantages:

• Preserves the slide-to-unlock screen – If the power button gets pressed when it’s in your pocket, the slide-to-unlock screen prevents random screen presses from launching apps or calling someone.
• Blocks the volume and other buttons from turning on the screen – With the original unlocking method, the volume buttons could turn on the screen, which could waste battery if you’re accidentally hitting them in your pocket.
• Solves a problem some devices have with the screen turning itself on when lock delay is enabled – Hopefully more people will be able to use lock delay without problems.

DA mode does have one disadvantage: It only works if you use a password or PIN to unlock your phone. Pattern locks are not compatible with DA mode. This is a limitation of Android itself, not UWW. Sorry, there’s nothing I can do about this.

In addition to DA mode, version 2.0 includes these new features:

• Turn on Bluetooth when you leave home – Maybe you use a headset in the car, or you car has a bluetooth hands-free unit.
• Turn off Bluetooth when you get home – Saves battery power
• Turn off Auto Sync when you leave home – Saves battery and reduces your cellular data usage. This is especially useful if you’re on a limited data plan.
• Turn on Auto Sync when you get home – Once you’re on WiFi, you don’t have to worry about data usage.

I hope you enjoy the new version. If you find a bug, please be patient and email me about it. I will fix it right away. Don’t go leaving negative comments just because of one little bug. If you work with me, it will be solved!

Version 1.0.10 adds an option to hide the Facebook and Twitter buttons. Apparently they really bothered certain people.

Some of you noticed that there were options for WidgetLocker integration in the previous version. That was a mistake on my part. WidgetLocker integration isn’t finished yet, so those options should not have been visible. They didn’t do anything, as some of you noticed. Sorry about that. They have been removed.

Also, the Spanish version has been updated with some minor translation changes.

Version 1.0.9 of Unlock With WiFi is available on the Android Market now. It has new Facebook “like” and Tweet buttons. Please use them to help spread the word about UWW. Thanks!

I’ve published verison 1.0.8 of Unlock With WiFi on the Android Market. It now features a German Translation. The German name of the app is “Entsperren mit WLAN”. Thanks to Matthias “eisteh” Wyrembra and Aaron Leibling for help with the translation!
