Since the ICS update i am forced to have a lockscreen with pin or password when i want to configure a VPN connection. This is absurd and i want to have the option to have no lockscreen. In honeycomb this was not forced. Email is much more sensitive information but that requires no lock screen, so why does a VPN require one? How can i remove the lockscreen? No Lock does not work great, a click on an email notification still shows a lockscreen.
Any other apps that work great on the TF201 and ICS?
Same situation for me.
Yep, it's the same if you want to use Enterprise mode wifis with installed certificates.
Just use a lock gesture
Gesture is not an option. I use it with the dock all the time and if i use a gesture the keyboard wakeup is pretty much useless. I'd rather root and remove the lock completely then be forced to have a lock. On my phone it is not much of a problem because it will be used with a lock screen all the time. A simple gesture is not much different then standaard unlock. On the prime it is very anooying to have a laptop/netbook replacement that needs a gesture on the screen after a few minutes of idle.
Is there a guide on doing this once it is rooted? I hate being forced to have a lock screen because I want to VPN to my house and watch some tv shows...
Some peoples VPN's are important, high security things. Mine is not.
Would love to know if there's ever a solution for this, though my exchange provider just updated security requirements (it's scary that you have to give permission for full remote wipe), so it's probably moot anyway.
It seems there's gotta be a way around this with root though...?

Hy,
I wrote an application that can connect to a PPTP VPN Server
without having to use PIN or Pattern :
PPTP VPN Manager
VPN Widget does the job for me
Awesome didcv!
You know the setting under Developer options "Stay Awake"?
If you check that, of course you'll use more battery, but the screen never actually turns off while docked (unless you close it or hit the lock key/power button), it just cuts the backlight off and ridiculously dims the screen.
Hope this can help you:

Alternatively you can use SQLlite Editor as I did
On my mobile with A2.1 anyone can unlock the screen simply by swiping from left to right.
Is there an app to lock the screen by some password or whatever, to prevent thiefs and alike to easily access the phone?.
TIA

Like I said, I'm considering to buy a smart tag to enable/disable pattern lock. I want to enable this lock only when I go outside. If the smart tag isn't able to do this, Is there any app that can do ?
Thank in advance
Hi ...
I had the same problem but in order to use he smarttags to lock/unlock the divce, I use "Unlock with wifi FREE" .. It works perfectly and I can manage to disable the lock when I'm at home or at work, as far as there is a wifi network ...
Hope I can help ...
Have no experience with this, but I think you can. The above post about wifi might work, but a cleaner fix could be to do this:
Get an app like no lock(I think its called)
Use NFC tasker to trigger it and then terminate it.
Thank a lot guys, I think I got an idea now.
Is there any easy way to disable having to input my lock screen pattern for when I'm driving?
I use my phone for music but I never have it docked, so I don't want the screen permanently on. It's just dangerous to have to do my pattern unlock whilst I'm driving. I'm using InDrive app to control PowerAmp but I want to be able to go straight to that by just pressing the awake button on my S3.
So is there anything that will easily allow me to disable this but won't stop the screen going off? Ideally a widget I can place on my home screen.

Well.. I never came across a widget or app like that but there is an option in my rom to disable lock screen. I think there will be an option on your device as well. Just turn it on and off whenever you need.

Cheers. If I go through the menu settings then I can disable lockscreen. It's a bit of a pain to do this every time I get in and out of the car though.
I just assumed this would be a common problem for people using their phone to play music in the car. Seems like it might not be!

Well yeah.. But you got few ops. Disable and enable from settings (lockscreen settings on my phone), or you can make a playlist of your music which will save you from touching your device while driving. Or you can copy your music to a usb drive and plug it to your car's audio system.. Or the most complicated but the most useful thing you can do us try making an app or a script will do the job of enabling/disabling the lockscreen everytime you run it. Well.. Thats something for devs and can be really complicated.. But worth trying..
If you're rooted you can install the xposed framework and per app DPI module, then set specific apps to show over the lock screen such as poweramp so its fully use able while the phone is locked

Not quite sure what you mean, but is it missing lock screen security you're on about? If so have you double checked that you have a lock screen security setting set up such as knock on, pattern lock or so. If you don't know how to check go to settings, security and lock screen(or so), in there make sure you have one checked.
