Question for those using a pattern unlock - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just wondering for those of you using a pattern unlock, when you press the power button to turn the device on, are you presented with the pattern or another screen that you must first swipe and THEN enter the pattern unlock?
One thing that annoyed me about phones running non-stock android was the extra step at the unlock screen before getting to the pattern unlock...

I have a device without branding and I only get the pattern screen. So no extra step.

Same here. Straight to the pattern screen.

[Q]/[REQ] Unlock directly to pattern unlock?

Hey, i was wondering if any of the devs here know of a way to make the phone go directly to the pattern unlock screen when it wakes. I really hate how enabling pattern unlock makes an extra step to unlock the phone (i.e. unlocked with the regular sense lock screen, then drawing the pattern). I can't be the only one who this bothers.
I used to have an epic 4g and when pattern unlock was enabled, the stock lockscreen would simply get disabled so there was only 1 step to unlock the phone. Does anyone know if this would be possible with a sense rom.
Also, ive tried disabling the sense lock screen all together (It then defaults to the AOSP lock), but you still need to slide to unlock, then enter the pattern.
Thanks everyone
I am looking for this as well. AntiLock app might work but I haven't tested it yet.

Turn off slide to unlock?

At least for me, the hardware button is more than enough accidental turn on protection. Is there anyway to turn off slide to unlock?
When I had my Droid, I remember there were several methods available to do this; but I don't remember what any of them were called or if they are compatible. I know that GoLocker (the GO lock screen replacement) is NOT compatible, at least when installed through the Market.
Try the No Lock app from the market.
After setting up a security pin I have no slide to unlock on my device. I hit a button it asks for the pin i set i type it in and it goes straight to whatever was last on screen without asking me to slide to unlock,

[Q] lock pattern redundancy

Slide to unlock appears even when pattern lock is activated. How can I get straight to pattern lock mode after screen is turned on? instead of putting in pattern, then having to slide to unlock to get to homescreen

[Q] Cannot disable face unlock, wrong pin

When face unlock does not work on my stock ics LG Optimus L9 I just enter my pin and all is well.
I decided to remove face unlock and pin unlock and change to swipe to unlock. When I go into settings, I tap on lock screen, then on select screen lock. It asks for my pin, i enter it and hit next, it says "wrong pin"
I know it's not the wrong pin because I unlock my phone with it 20 times a day. I always use the same pin for years. It seems like a bug but it sucks because now I am stuck with face unlock.
Is there anyway around this or has anyone else experienced this problem?
thanks
Hard reset

Do a HARD RESET. It will solve your problem.

fingerprint scanner password

I recently joined android with the s6 edge. I set up the fingerprint scanner password but it ONLY asks fo it when my device has been cut on, or has been locked for a while. when i lock my phone and and hit the home button it says swipe to unlock. how can I get it to where it immediately asked for my fingerprint every single time I want to unlock my phone? Everyones ive seen already does it.
Go to lock & Security in settings and then secure lock settings and make sure its set to lock immediately with power key
