Screen stays on
My display won't shut off while the software is active. The battery drain is significant and really a deal killer. Also calls are intercepted even if I have my bluetooth headset connected, I should be able to answer incoming calls on my headset. I'm using an 8330 on sprint with OS 4.5.0.169

Hi there Dave, welcome to the ZoomSafer Beta User Community, and thanks for the feedback - couple of things for you:
- Sorry to hear about your battery performance. Can you give us a little more detail - are you charging at night and how long is it taking for your battery to get to a critical stage? Also, take a look at the post I put out on battery life earlier: http://community.zoomsafer.com/zoomsa...
One of the devices we've been testing on has been a Sprint Curve like yours. We're plugging it in each night and haven't had issues during the next day with a mix of driving and not driving (but we are plugging it in each night). Through this process, we are trying to collect real user data like yours, though so thanks for the feedback.
- On the screen, we made a decision to leave the screen on for this initial beta with the idea being to try to get Beta users used to the phone behavior. We plan on letting the screen go to sleep in future releases.
- On your inbound call behavior question, we agree that you should be able to if you want to! In the ZoomSafer Beta Phase 2, you'll be able to choose from three options for inbound calls: accept all calls, accept only calls from Priority Contacts, or accept none. That's one of a number of different choices you'll be able to make when we release the Beta Phase 2 software.
Thanks again for the feedback,
Mike

For a safety program, it is very distracting to be driving at night with the screen staying on. I would not use the program for that reason.

Kirk - thank for the comment. We had originally thought that having the screen on would be context for the driver to drive safely, but based on feedback from you and others, in a future release we will allow the screen to "go to sleep". Hopefully you will keep zooming safer while we are working to implment this fix. Thanks.

I’m
happy to have new software for our users
Wanted everyone to know that our new Beta Release 1.5 is here and as discussed above, the screen goes to sleep just like it normally does on your phone.
Safe driving,
