Re: Links to funny, cool or interesting stuff

Anyone with an HTC phone and having that infuriating 2.3.5 lock screen call problem (the one that stops you answering a call from the lock screen if the caller is a Facebook contact) .. I've found a wee workaround until the next firmware update comes out.

Install the free app "No Lock" and disable the lock screen.

Not a perfect solution but a lot easier than the various other major faff remedies doing the rounds at the moment.

That's breathtakingly amazing, never seen anything do detailed or complex and realistic! Thanks for posting...
