I started a thread on android central about this but it has got me no where. Ever since I ota'd to ed01 none of my apps that have unlock features unlock the screen. I usually have go sms with the unlock screen feature enabled with a pop up box for replying, this no longer works. Power amp screen lock widget with option of direct unlock no longer works. Instead I get two lock screens. I even tried no lock to get rid of the lock completely. That doesn't even work.
I've tried different froyo roms, fixing permissions, and I have no pins or passwords on my lock. I get the same result with the official ota, evil fascination, the community rom, and the debloated/dibinged rom with no success.
THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY! Any help would be appreciateed

Agreed.
Ill bump this because im having the same problem. Its killing me.

Can we get some help here guys. Were helpless lol. I need my pop up sms

This is a rather big issue, as it effects a good number of apps, including some paid ones. I use Unlock With WiFi so I don't have to enter a password when my phone's at home, and it doesn't work either.
I really hope someone can figure out a workaround. I'm almost tempted to just go back to SC2.9.2.
I am also having this issue. Has anyone came up with a solution?

I have a droid eris that is collecting dust and thought it would be a cool toy for my 2 year old. I know they have apps for toddlers and fun games that have a toddler lock built in.
My question is has someone developed or is someone willing to develop a rom that is just for kids. It would only need Wifi.
Just a thought. I wanted to see before I start attempting to develop one myself, which I really do not have time to do.
Thanksa
Try tazz's I-phoney ROM, it's like an I phone so it's perfect for a toddler! Lol!
Seriously, tho, any cm7 ROM would be good. For my young'uns, I disable the screen lock set the launcher to have only one home screen with all the games as shortcuts.

I think that was the script that can be used to work on any rom.
Thanks everyone. I found a kid mode app that works pretty good as an interface. I have the phone in airplane mode so it disables everything and I have wifi on. He is enjoying it right now. I will continue to improve on it and maybe eventually create my own interface.

Hi,
would you like to share which app you found usable?
Apart from airplane mode, you could also disable the dialer, e.g. freeze it with Titanium Backup or the like.
(I know your post is quite a few years old, but possibly you still remember the app).

Soooo I started using WidgetLocker again yesterday along with ADW EX for an ICS-ish theme. Well today I started having some issues with WidgetLocker not allowing me to answer or even see a phone call when my phone was locked. Well to take things further; just an hour ago, when I woke up, when I unlocked my phone my screen was blank and unresponsive. All I had was the notification bar at the top, but it is unusable, and my wallpaper showing. So I rebooted my phone and then disabled WidgetLocker. Well now I'm stuck with just the wallpaper and notification bar on the screen. Nothing works accept the power button and I can't reboot or anything without pulling the battery. I never froze the Sense Launcher or HTC Lockscreen. So... WTF do I do other than wipe my phone and re-install everything??? :'(
I think you have some other problem and it is not widget locker.

eh? had to edit my post. my screen isn't actually blank, or off, there just isn't a home screen or lock screen, and none of the buttons work accept the power one.
Are you rooted and unlocked? If so make a nand backup and try wiping. This will allow you to troubleshoot. Report back and we can go from there
I'm rooted on inef 1.4 , I did that and it didn't work. WidgetLocker kinda pisses me off that it can mess stuff up that badly now. Do any rezound users have problems with it? I went though the settings trying to find the culprit but couldn't. Then once I disabled the app everything just broke.
I ended up wiping and staring from scratch. Not using that app again.
I wanted aosp ICS looking stuff but I'm too lazy to desense and theme apps now. I miss MIUI lol. soo easy to change everything from system apks to icons. Makes want to buy a nexus and put up with all the missed opportunities on the phone just to have aosp lol.

I use widget locker on every phone and Android tablet, including my Rezound... Never seen that type of problem before.

If you do go back to using it again, set up HomeHelper if you haven't done so. Also, unsure of the package names, but you can uninstall using ADB. Having this happen once before, I had to ADB shell into the phone and remove ADW. It's a rare occurrence but does happen.

It won't help you any, but I stopped using Widget Locker because it did the exact same thing to me. I did a wipe & reinstall from scratch just to get totally 100% rid of the POS.
never had any issues with it before, user error perhaps?

LOL, I don't think so.
I used it forever in my DroidX & it worked fine. All I did was install it in my Rezound & I immediately lost the ability to answer the phone, how is that "user error" ??
boot your phone up without the sim, it should take you to the home screen. Dial *#*#4636#*#* and make sure cdma+lte auto is selected. Power down and re insert sim, and boot back up.

completely remove widgetlocker and see if it still happens.
I did completely remove it. That's when my phone was totally unusable. Before I did that I could reboot to get it to unlock at least. Idk what the app did or altered to mess up that bad. I'm glad I was rooted and could fix it.
My fix I mean wipe and reflash the rom
I had nothing but problems with it on my thunderbolt. Great idea, poor implementation.

True. What's bad is that there is actually a market for a really good one. Money to be had there...
I have had troubles with this app as well. actually it worked kind of alright when it was installed (but it glitched/didnt work occasionally so i got rid of it) but when i uninstalled it somehow the widgetlocker lockscreen still comes up before my current lockscreen (GOlocker). i dont see how this is possible, any ideas? also it usually does this after booting the phone, after its on it pretty much never shows up. maybe reinstall it and wipe the app data with Ti backup, then uninstall?? not sure what to do here
I remember using a few roms on my HTC Evo that allowed me to setup an active sync account while disabling the required pin unlock screen. Anyone know how to go about this on the SG3?

I don't know about any ROMs that have that baked in, haven't looked for it specifically. However I've always used Enhanced Email which allows you to skip the requirement, used it on the SII E4GT and now also the SIII, works like a charm. Only downside is being locked to EE for exchange email, although it's a pretty great app, so not that big of a deal for me. Just tried out touchdown, which enforces the pin on the app only, so you don't have to lock the whole phone.
If you do find a 'baked in' solution, or ROM hack let me know, I'd be very interested.
Hope this helps a bit.

I asked the same thing yesterday, here's the thread I was directed to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117452
Worked like a charm, no more pin lock for my Exchange account.
Hello xda, iv'e done extensive searching on this site and google, however have not found an answer to what im looking for so please forgive me/point me in right direction if allready discussed somewhere...my friend has an unrooted htc evo 4g on sprint and his ex gf somehow managed to figure out how to completely spy on his phone without ever having physical access to it, which until now i didnt think was possible unless you install faulty apps on your own, which he hasnt. he received a blank mms message followed by a basic one word text from her saying "LOL"...now his battery drains fast, everything runs slow on an otherwise fairly quick phone, and his ex keeps sending messages proving she knows everything thats on his phone. she was even able to find a private video he shot with his new gf of them (no further info needed lol) on his phone, and sent him texts commenting on how she was going to do the same moves she saw in the vid with all his friends for revenge. every half hour or so she sends a text telling him his exact location...sends comments on txts he receives...ect...so what is this? how would i find it? how would i delete it/block it from ever happening? im not a complete noob but beginner/intermediate for sure, any help would be greatly appreciated.
(i know i could root it and wipe everything/install custom roms ect, but he wants to avoid rooting for some reason, however if its the only way any helpful info from here would help me convince him)
Go to airplane mode and scan the app list under settings/applications/all for anything suspicious

Anybody know a way to get the Kitkat dialer from adding contacts to my favorites?
You can always swipe to delete them, I have yet to see them come back after I delete them.

Thanks, I already knew that, but I would rather find a way to make it not happen.
I'd love to find a way to make this happen too.
Ever since I got KitKat I've been butt dialing people, even with a pin lock screen. I don't want any one on the favorites screen for this very reason, but it then just adds anyone you call.
Well I'm with you guys.. Kind of annoying. If it can be done I'm sure you'll find a. Way spotmark
