Bug in Message Shield
« on: August 10, 2012, 05:38:26 AM »
"Offer to block messages" from unknown numbers works only if screen is on (device not sleeping). In other cases no suggestion is shown. Tested it with both HTC Privacy options - show preview of message on lock screen or not to show. If screen was off while message received - shield let it through without an offer to block it.

I have had a different (and weird) experience.
If the screen is off, the device did not warn me (vibration and Led) about the SMS until the screen was turned on...
It cannot be that way either...

Certainly something is not right  ;D At least my phone is ringing, vibrating and blinking if screen is off  ;D But avast! offers to block sms only if screen is on while message received.

Ok, this is bu, I know about that - you can too experience (on some devices) that the message will not be block at all (in case you will use SM blocker); it will be fixed until public release, but anyway, thanks for report :-)
