Im not sure how long ago this happened(a few days i think) but when i go to unlock my phone it doesnt ask me to enter my pattern. I have a pattern lock screen set up but it bypasses that and takes me straight into the phone. I have fLASHED THE 2.3.4 stock sbf with pudding but that did nothing and i have also factory reset my phone to try and fix it. Not sure what to do at this point and i cant take it to ATT because of the "unlock" that appears when the phone is turning on. Anyone know of any solutions to this problem?
Thanks
You have to go to setting /location and security/ and in there should be passcode delay(or something like that) ,it will come with 20 minutes default, change it to when phone is locked, I think

I have been using the fingerprint to unlock, but not it is not functioning, it doesn't respone at all...

Have you updated? The update addresses issues with the fingerprint scanner.
yes, i have updated to 1.57 rooted GladAtrix 2 v4.2.3...
what should i do then?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Mine did that to me a few times before I updated, but since the update it has worked perfectly. Did you try deactivating it and set it up again? I know WidgetLocker can use the fingerprint scanner, I dont know if you want to try that but it might be an option..
but I can't even stup the fingerprint scanner t scan...in the Location & security settngs...
is my fingerprint scanner broken??? or should I reload the stock rom to see if itis becuse of the GladiAtrix2 v4.2.3???
You cant set up the fingerprint scanner? Huh that sucks. What kind of error does it give you if any? You might want to sbf and see if it works again on stock.
I seem to have that problem at times. Restarting the phone seems to do the trick

It doesn't even response at all at the setup and no error, it just likes the scanner isn't there...
I will try to flash back to the stock rom and see if it will still work

I have tried that, but it doesn't work for me...
It happened to me twice in the last 7 days that I have had my Atrix, both times when I turned it back on in the morning (I have it off at night).
I had to take the battery out and then start all over again just power cycling didn't work.
I am hoping it doesn't happen too often, the device is perfect and all customized and I don't want to start all over again including un rooting this one.
just flash back to 1.26, but still not working not responding...
going to update to 1.57 and see if it will work...not I think it is broken...
Happened to me this morning after a power up. Restarted it again, some 'suite' process force closed on the lock screen, and it's been okay since.
edit: this was on 1.5.7 stock
I guess I can confirm that my fingerprint scanner is dead...
so I guess I have a reason to get a LG one now... this one will go to my girlfriend...
or... is there a screen lock for Atrix 4G which slide down to unlock (like HTC one) instead of sliding right to left
BAMF 1.6.3
i know i can quickly depress/release the pwr button to lock the screen, but is there a quick method/setting to "lock" the phone requiring a password to unlock without powering down? i'm sure there's an app out there. just wondering if i'm missing something native to the phone or to bamf.
thanks

You can put your screen timeout down to 15 seconds.

would prefer not to do that. would prefer something like a short cut/keystroke.
by the way, is there a way to create a shortcut for settings>security>lock phone after>immediately?

Why would you need something like that though? I don't understand the benefits of it compared to just pressing the power button. j/w
I don't have an answer to the original question, but thought I'd point out that in addition to locking the phone, you may want to lock your "SIM." Doing so prevents someone from using your SIM in another phone and running up your bill.
I believe the default SIM PIN1 is 1111 for all VZW SIMs.

I thought that each LTE sim is registered to the MEID of your Thunderbolt and is unable to be used in others. (without extensive EPST work) Hence the reason people were getting brand new TB's also had to get brand new SIM cards?

You didn't read the material Verizon provided with your phone, did you? Right there on the front of the Activation Guide: "To learn more about your 4G LTE SIM card, visit verizonwireless.com/4GSIM" Poke around, and you'll find this:
the SIM card is portable and can be used in any Verizon Wireless-certified 4G device. All usage will be billed to the account associated with the 4G SIM card.

Ahhhh, so i am actually supposed to read those pages with words on them? I thought it was just packing material.
I've honestly never read one phone manual i've ever had. Not cause I know everything about a phone before I get it, but I just rather find out everything myself. If i had to get a replacement shipped to me I'm sure I would have found that out then.
But also, I don't know if you saw some other threads or not, but i remember people saying they went in and got replacements and had to get a new SIM also. They said the VZW reps had said that the SIM is not transferrable. I don't know for sure, just saying what was said.

same reason why i would lock the display of my pc at work. i don't need to turn it off every time i walk away from it. just want to temporarily disable it from prying eyes.
This says it does exactly what you are asking for and its free but i havent downloaded it but you can check it out

I JUST used it and it works perfectly

If you set it to lock phone immediately, it will lock when you press the power button fast. The screen will turn off and the phone locks. When you press the power button next, the screen turns on and you need to swipe to unlock screen. You then enter password to unlock phone.
I have done it this way and it works fine. Hitting the power button once fast is the same as if you had an icon for it. The nice part is you can be on any screen.
just use the app i posted and if you need a password set it up in settings in security and viola just what your asking for software app to lock and password on unlock
also here is the patch to make the volume rocker wake the device also so then you could wake the phone with volume button and power buttton

dang i figured it out.. thanks for all of your help and suggestions.
took your advice nyvideo1.
settings>> display>> screen timeout>> 10 minutes or never
then
settings>> security>> lock phone after>> immediately
Soo heres my setup:
Rom: Das BAMF 2.0-5
Radio: MR2
So I was using my phone just fine and then decided to restart it after doing abunch of updates to apps etc.
Then all of a sudden once it boots back up there is no lockscreen what so ever, so I cannot unlock my phone in order to use it, I didn't have the pattern/pin/password lockscreen just the basic slide to unlock one.
I can see the notification bar at the top of the screen but I am unable to pull it down due to the phone basically being locked... I also cannot turn off/restart the phone because I cannot get it unlocked..
I tried a battery pull or two and everytime I boot it up the same thing happens..
can you get into recovery? if so it may be a good idea to go to a backup. I have never heard of that issue before:S
you need a car dock to unlock it and change the lockscreen,what happened is the default wallpaper lockscreen vanished, or reinstall the rom over the top again,i have asked many times can never get an answer as to why or how to fix it any other way.

I have the bamf rom on my SD card, but I also have the stupid radio update on there so I cannot get to the recovery until I get home otherwise I could fix it..
But thank you for your help, hopefully that will fix it. How does the car dock work? I had a moto droid previously and that car dock had a magnet in it that would some how put the phone into car dock mode. What does the thunderbolt's do?
basically the same thing,you out it in the dock and it starts the car dock app,when you remove it the phone is unlocked,then go to tje settings customize and change the lock screen,you will see only five and should be six

Well I don't have a car dock, so I ended up flashing the bamf rom back over it and that did not help.. Just ended up doing a factory reset and re-flashing the rom again..

would still like one if the devs to take a look and see whats causing it,has happened to me on all the gb bamfs i have installed. really like the wallpaper lockscreen but its gone,hoped it would come back with the bamf prev 3 but no go

Hence the reason I love the feature of menu to unlock also

I just had the lock screen issue. That sucked. I freaked for a bit, but I was able to save it in recovery. Now to get my phone back to the way I like it... x_x
Best thing is to change the lockscreen,it has happened to me on every th band so far most of the time right after a back up
sent from a screamin' bamfed out tbolt
how do you get menu to unlock
You can try reflashing in recovery,I used my car dock to unlock the phone then change to the weather lock screen
sent from a screamin' bamfed out tbolt
Having this issue too...hopefully someone can figure out what is causing it.
To get around it, I installed a new lockscreen from the android market website, did cache & dalvic wipe, then reboot. Not sure which of those actually fixed the issue, but I'll probably be re-flashing today anyway.
I have experienced the same bug on Liquid roms. I had to wipe/factory reset and reinstall everything.
Someone in the Liquid thread told me it was due to the underclock while idle being too low. Thoughts?
I tried the car dock to unlock and the phone did not unlock. The notification bar showed it was in car mode, but it did not unlock the phone. Any ideas besides reflashing?
I'm currently running a rooted Sprint stock 2.3.4 and from time to time i have notice that the screen would not timeout or go to sleep. I can push the power button and put it to sleep but it wont do it on its own. I did check and screen timeout change to "never". Has anyone else ran across this issue and/or maybe have a solution?

um, to clarify, you have it set to never and you're asking why the screen wont timeout?
The evo changed to never on its own.

um, cant you just simply change it from never to like 15min or another interval?
Sorry that I was not totally cleared. My phone would randomly change from 1 minute timeout to never. So the issue is that if im not careful and check after im done using my phone, the screen would remain on and drain my battery.

Did you do a clean install of the ota? Because if you didn't then it could have caused that problem. I suggest you do a full wipe (after you backup) and then install the ota afterwards. See if the problem persists and if it doesnt then restore your apps.
Hope this helps
Sent from my rockin 3D
Thanks for the help. I had applied superwipe and installed rooted stock ota before posting. Of course still the same random issue. However I will use RUU and go back to stock then start all over from the beginning.

So I just woke up and went to unlock my phone and it came up saying the fingerprint scanner stopped responding and must close so it asked for my backup password, I entered it and it said it was wrong. I was 100% sure that was the password I had set but it was saying it wasn't so I tried a multitude of other ones. Then it let me finally sign in by my Google Account so I did and it says it's wrong..it isn't. I've signed in to Gmail on my computer with the same info I'm entering into the phone but the phone won't let me login!
I don't know if this has happened to anyone yet but I've now tried restarting and then shutting off and turning back on and the sensor still just won't work and none of my alternative logins are working, does anyone have any suggestions other than resetting the phone? Thanks

Did your phone is rooted? Do your phone come with warranthy? If rooted i think you have clear davik cache and if warranthy you should go check at care center i think it is about finger print sensor problem!

My phone's not rooted, everything's stock. It has a warranty but there's no stock available. It was fine until this morning, I've had it since the 9th so I just think something messed up that's software related.
