First off this I use Bedside on my Droid while connected to the multimedia dock. My first issue is that even though I have the option enabled to bypass the lock screen there are times which it does not bypass the lock screen. This is no biggy though, the bigger issue is that the application essentially never seems to exit.
I believe the problem lies in that bedside launches 2x possibly due to being in the multimedia dock and connected to power. Id prefer that we have those 2 options separate as I dont want to launch bedside just because Im on power as I connect via USB to mount my SD card etc. I only want to launch bedside when I connect to multimedia dock however there is no such option to do just that.
So on a typical night when I place my phone on the dock it does indeed launch bedside and bypass the lock screen like it should. When my alarm goes off in the morning I hit dismiss and walk away. After getting ready I come back and take the phone off the dock at which time it "should" exit bedside but only does so maybe 1 out of 10 times. I have to hit the back key to exit bedside mode however this doesn't exit the app itself as it remains resident in memory. I have to use task killer to kill the process otherwise my alerts will be muted as I have that aspect configured in bedside.
I hope this makes sense and if the developer would like to work with me offline feel free to shoot me an email to ldougherty @ gmail.com

Sorry about that, I missed a bunch of threats since I only got one email.
First, disable the auto-start/auto-end and auto-unlock options from the preferences. They are not working correctly, I am fully aware of that and I'm currently doing some tests with a user with a Droid with a "new version" that fixes these issues. It's going to be 3.0.5.
3.1 is the "new version" I've been planning to release, but haven't been able to.
So, for now, disable those options, and just exit Bedside normally as you would exit any other app. Auto-start will keep working when you plug it on the dock, the only option that will not work completely is auto-end, I will try to push 3.0.5 to the market very soon, that should fix those problems.
Thanks, and if you have any future concerns or questions please email me at velazcod+android@gmail.com
