Hey Guys,
First of all I'm on 2.3.4 AT&T stock ROM not unlocked modified in any way. I'm an international user so I just SIM UNLOCKED it so it can work with my operator.
I'm having a weird problem with my Atrix with the screen lock. It just doesn't work, no matter wich method I use (Fingerprint, password, PIN, etc). I turn on the screen and no lock method is asked it just goes directly to desktop.
I checked the security lock timer, it's dim out when fingerprint and with other methods its on When display is off but NO luck whatsoever.
Now the weird thing is that when I turn off the phone and turn it on again the phone ask me for my sim pin and then the screen lock method but that's it.
Maybe someone had seen this issue before and can give me a little hand?
Thanks.

when i go to security and enable a pattern to unlock the sildeto unloack reappears.
when i turn the pattern to unlock off the silde to unlock stays for about half an hour and then strangely dissapears again.

i think a factory reset will fix this but im wondering what could have triggered this.
anyone got a clue what could cause this?
I'm currently experiencing issues with face unlock.
I can unlock my phone using face unlock the first time without any issues. However, after I unlock my phone with face unlock, the phone stays unlocked. When the screen turns off (manually or automatically) it does not relock. I have my phone set to lock immediate when the screen turns off.
When I press the power button and it will be at the launcher. In addition, I noticed that the second time I unlock, the light sensor blinks and it continues to blink until I restart the phone.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Does anyone know how to fix this?
Edit: problem solved. I pushed another face unlock apk and it seems like it got fixed. Corrupted apk maybe
I was used to using No Lock on my previous Android 2.3 phone:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jraf.android.nolock
Always worked flawlessly.
On my SGS III however there is an annoying side effect.
I tried it with a Pattern Lock and also a PIN lock.
With one of these active, and then telling No Lock to disable the lock, I can succesfully turn the screen back on without going through the lock. Great for car or desk use.
However as soon as I then select something from the Notifications pulldown, the Pattern or PIN lock suddenly pops up! It is like it was already running in the background, and then became activated or something.
I tried various alternative apps, such as Impel (with a script), No Lock Screen (with Only when charging), Auto Unlock Trial Edition... but all exhibited the same problem. Some would even change the Home button into a 'Show The Lock Screen" button... even worse!
I wonder if this is specific for Samsung, or SGS III, or ICS.
So, has anybody got a clue... or a fix?
I think it's an ICS thing... I've been using Delayed Lock for over a year and IIRC when ICS came out, this problem was present, however it was fixed by the dev. The other thing is that for DL to work on ICS using an unlock pattern, it needs to go in the system/apps but didn't need to on GB.

Thanks, I'll give Delayed Lock a try.
In the mean time, still open for other suggestions and/or deeper insights into this matter!
You can just disable the lock screen in the security menu, no? I used the rooted image and Odin to root my phone but I thought the image was all stock and I have the option to have no lock.
Hey so my v10 sometimes doesn't allow me to unlock my phone with my fingerprint and I have to manually enter my password. Is this a problem for anyone else or just me? I have changed the fingerprints and changed lock screen from knock code to pattern but neither helped.
Yes I get this too. I know it will force manual entry after reboot but I experience this throughout the day from time to time. Its inconsistent.
Do you use an app to put the phone to sleep? There is a known issue in Marshmallow where fingerprint unlock will not work if the phone is put to sleep via an app rather than the power button.
I do double tap the status sometimes to turn the screen off but I don't think it's that. And no I don't use an app to turn off the screen
Hello.
I have Pocophone F1 Global with the preinstalled 9.6.14.0(OEJMIFD). I have never updated it, I haven't rooted it, I haven't unlocked the bootloader. And I think I haven't restarted the phone for like 2 months.
Since the beginning I've set up Lock screen with pattern, Privacy lock with pattern and Fingerprints.
Everything was working fine for a few months. I could unlock the screen with the pattern or the fingerprint. But now all of the sudden the pattern unlock doesn't work anymore!
Whenever I try to unlock it using the correct pattern, the Lock screen simply reloads and asks me to input the pattern again. If I try an incorrect pattern, then it will say that the pattern is incorrect and that I should try again.
Luckily the fingerprint works, so I am able to unlock the phone. Unfortunately, I cannot reset the current lock pattern, because it asks me for the old lock pattern, which it doesn't accept.
Is anyone else having the same issue?
How can I fix this?
Can I reset the lock pattern?
Can I remove the lock pattern?
Thank you.
