Translated from German, so the names might be a bit different: Settings --> Security (7) --> Device lock (1) --> Untick "Lock when unused for"
Hope that helped

And if it can't be changed, it is problably set by "Exchange group policy". Then you can use free software Stay Unlock. For me it is working.

Thanks
That worked nice, it was really beginning to annoy me

Hi all,
i've installed the Tasker Trial (from the developer site) a few days ago on my SGS III (no root, using stock rom).
I want Tasker to disable my Lockscreen security when i'm at home. Recently i tried this setup:
Profile: Trusted Zone
State: Wifi Connected [ SSID:ssid1/ssid2 MAC:* IP:* ]
A1: Secure Settings [ Configuration:Clear Password/Wait For Unlock ]
Profile: Untrusted Zone
State: Not Wifi Connected [ SSID:ssid1/ssid2 MAC:* IP:* ]
Abort Existing Task
A1: Secure Settings [ Configuration:Set Pin ]

I've tried nearly every setting i could imagine. With and without "Secure settings" plugin, pattern or pin on lockscreen, foregrund mode with notification icon or background without notification. Also i've registered Tasker and secure settings plugin as device admin in security settings.
My problem is, after setting up all necessary profiles and tasks everything seems to be fine, but after a while the display is locked even though i'm connected to my wifi at home. (yes, wifi is enabled all the time, even in lockscreen ;-) )
Also i've noticed that tasker sometimes displays a notification saying "Low memory". On SGS3? Realy?
I hope anyone could help me how to run tasker in a reliable way on sgs3.
Thanks in advance.
Hey man, sorry I can't help but I am running one task on my Spirit GS III.
My task is to connect to Wi-Fi according to the near cell tower.
Anyway, mine seems to be working just fine.

I dint think everything is perfect with tasker and ics. I think I red in the google groups about some things that may not function perfectly.
I have my lockscreen disabled when Bluetooth is connected in my car, and when it's connected to power. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Sorry, that's the best I can offer you.

I've used tasker since my desire days. I had profiles that turn wifi on and off and go into silent mode etc.
The only profile that doesn't work for me is turning off the LED. In fact for me I haven't found anything that will turn off the LED

Thank you guys.
I've also searched the web.
Unfortunately, i think there is a problem with Tasker and ICS (especially with SGS3?).
Maybe there will be an update for tasker...
Does anyone of you knows an app which allows me to control the Lockscreen behaviour through Wifi status?

Give Delayed Lock a go, there's a free trial in the store. Works perfectly on the S3

It's working like a charm for me to enable/disable the lock screen security with Tasker and secure settings. I need it because of our Internet certificate at our University.

Can you post your setting for Tasker and secure settings please. Do you use pin or pattern on the lockscreen?
@Isadora: I'll give it a try

Yes No problem... I just need to translate my tutorial. Just wait a bit
And I'm using pattern

I use Pattern, and this worked for me.
1)
Press the "+" to create a new profile. Name it what you want (I called it "unlock at home")
Press the "state" button.
Press the "Net" button.
Press the "Wifi Connected" button
Press the search button for the "SSID" and choose your network (wifi must be turned on!)
Press the green accept button.
2)
Now the "Task Selection" window appear.
Press "New Task" and name it whatever you want (I called it "Unlock")
Press the "+" button
Press the "Display" button
Press the "Keyguard" button
Set the Keyguard status to "Off"
Press the green accept button.
Press the green accept button again.
3)
Now you are back at the main profile window. Long press on the name you made for 2).
Press "Add Exit Task"
Press "new task" and name it what you want (I called it "Lock")
Press the "+"
Press the "Display"
Press the "Keyguard"
Set the status to "On"
Press green accept button.
You are done.
Now you phone will disable the keyguard when you are connected your home wifi network and enable it when you are not connected.
Notice. If you turn the screen off and on again within a second or two, the screen will turn off again, dunno why. So when you test it, turn the screen off and wait like 5 seconds and then turn it on.
Good luck

I made this tutorial for the eduroam networks at german/european universities. In this tutorial it will be explained how to setup an automatic enableing/disableing pattern lock. At my university place I have to use pattern or pin lock because of the "telekom root ca 2 certificate", otherwise the internet won't work. So the described steps should be very similar to your problem.
I edited the parts so you can use it 1:1
Requirements:
- Installed and working BusyBox App
- Installed and working Secure Settings App
--->Installed Helper in Secure Settings
- Installed and working Tasker
- Create Lockscreen (Password, Pin or Pattern Lock)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Open Tasker Application:
- Create new profile and name it like you want.
- At the "First Context" choose location and locate the place where you don't need the secure lockscreen. Instead of location you can choose whatever you want. In e.g. WiFi
- If you're done, just add a "New Task" and name it e.g. "deactivate pattern" or how you like
- Add an action ( Plugin -> Secure Settings -> Edit -> choose at DEV ADMIN ACTIONS "Password/Pin" or at HELPER ACTIONS "Pattern Lock"
---> For Password/Pin use these settings:
imageshack.us/photo/my-images/266/screenshot2012071109483.png
---> For Pattern Lock use these settings:
imageshack.us/photo/my-images/69/screenshot2012071109551.png
- Save the settings and check them all. You got a new profile with one task now. Long press at the task and add an "Exit Task". Use the same steps from above ( the last 2 steps ) just name it e.g. "activate pattern"
---> For Password/Pin use these settings:
(Insert your security Informations)
imageshack.us/photo/my-images/267/screenshot2012071109574.png
---> For Pattern Lock use these settings:
imageshack.us/photo/my-images/515/screenshot2012071109571.png
- Save all the settings you made and then you should have a profile which shows minimum one context and 2 tasks ( Input and Exit task)
That's it... i hope it work! If not let me know Tasker and Secure Settings are a very powerful tool and handle them with care!
Good Luck
Thanks to all of you.
Today i've tried the Trial version of "Delayed Lock" from the market with the Wifi Plugin.
An what should i say?
It works like a charm :good:
Less features than Tasker, but less expensive...
Nevertheless i will try your profiles even if i think i tried this settings before
Regards
For me it doesn't quite work.
When I turn off the pattern lock, it activates swipe unlock instead of no unlock screen.
I tried to turn off keyguard too, but with no effect at all.
I'm on stock rom with root.
Same for me, but I like it so. Don't know if this is a bug or a feature.

Guys, check Tasker website, there's a beta version there. It might solve your problems.
EDIT: check if you have the latest version: 1.3u1 I haven checked before posting, there is no more beta. Sorry.

Ok maybe i got something: When you configure a VPN or install a new certificate, Android deactivates the possibilty to choose the less secure options in the security / lockscreen menu. If you now delete any VPN connection and/or user defined certificates, tasker and secure settings should work. At least for me it does. Can anyone verify this?
Hello,
I had tried a password, then I switched it to PIN. I realize I don't really want a lock at all but the top option to disable it is greyed out - my only three choices seem to be to switch between PIN, password and patten. I'm guessing there is another place to disable it but I can't find it.
Thanks

Yes - that is the problem the top selection - NONE is greyed out. I can only select between pattern, pin and password.
ALL items but the bottom 3 choices on that screen are greyed out.

You have an application installed that requires a password.
Maybe you have an exchange account and the policies are set, something.
I can disable the password on my phone with no issues.

Go into "Settings"
Then "Security"
Then "Phone Administrators"
Then you will need to deactivate "Foxfi" as a device admin, by selecting it then deactivating it.
If that doesn't work, I'm at a losss.

Hello,
I am a little confused, I showed to a friend of mine the profiles of Lollipop 5.0 and switched to an invited session. It triggered the Swiping Lockscreen (I had none before).
But now that I have switched back to my account, the option for having no lockscreen is not there anymore. I mean I do have the Swipe, the password, the PIN and the scheme way to unlock, but the option with no lockscreen is nowhere to be found !
Does anyone have a clue ? I rebooted (even with the Power + Vol+) and it didn't show up ...
Thank you
Sorry for my bad english, I'm french ˆˆ'

Thanks for the answer (I'm a bit late sorry) but your solution was the good one !
I added a bootup PIN on my Poco when I got it a year ago but have given the phone to my girlfriend. She can never remember the bootup PIN and wants it turned off and I have no recollection of how to turn it off.
I tried Googling it but they just mention the screen lock PIN rather than the bootup PIN.
Thanks in advance.

Settings > Passwords and security > Privacy > [the name of your sim card]
Then you're in Sim Lock Settings - deselect Lock SIM card
I find the MIUI settings menus a pain in the hoop so tend to use the settings search bar a lot more than I ever did with stock Android

Hi all,
I recently purchased a Samsung A21s, running Android 10, for my wife and set it up so that when she pressed the power button to use it it went straight to the home screen. No Lock Screen at all.
She wanted to try the Fingerprint option so I set that up however she did not like it so I deleted her Fingerprint. Now I cannot find out how to bypass the Lock Screen, she how has to swipe to unlock. There is no "None" option either in the Lock Screen Settings, cannot remember if there was originally.
At the moment I press the power button, swipe on the lock screen, and it takes you to the home screen.
It used to:
Press the power button and it takes you to the home screen.
I just cannot figure out what I did initially to bypass the Lock Screen altogether. Can anyone stop me from going mad?
TIA
No ideas anyone?
I would really appreciate any input at all.
Try this go to Settings < General Management < Reset < Reset Accessibility Settings if that doesn’t work choose the first option Reset Settings.
Thanks for the suggestions, however neither solved the issue.
How to change the setting to get to the home screen, without swiping. Go to Settings > Lock screen > Lock screen type, and from the list select None.

Unfortunately there is no None option in the list.
Sorry if you tried that already, then I'd say the phone might need a software update.
If the software is up to date, lack of the "None" option, might have to do with a finance app, such as Google Pay, Samsung Pay, or banking apps. I think they have to have a lock screen, if you have a finance app installed and active, that might be why the option is hidden.
Related to this, I notice there's a toggle setting called Security policy updates. It's in Biometrics and security > Other security settings > Security policy updates. I'm not sure exactly what that does, but I'm assuming limiting options in settings, to comply with app security, might be part of it.

Thanks for your reply. I have no finance or banking apps on the phone so I guess this is not the cause of the missing "None" option. I still think it was related to me enabling fingerprints and then disabling it, though I'm not 100% sure. It is just do annoying. Have also contacted Samsung who "jumped" onto my phone to have a look around and they were unable to find the cause as well.
