hello,
i have a sk17i and since a few days my slide to unlock had dissapeared.
when i push the topbutton or home button when my screen is turned off i dont need to slide anymore i can just access everything i want.
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.
had anyone gota clue?
i think a factory reset will fix this but im wondering what could have triggered this.
anyone got a clue what could cause this?

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.
Hi guys,
I realized that the lockscreen is doing nothing in the sense of the security on the S2. I am using a lock pattern and sometimes when I get a text call, or press the sleep/wake button a couple times, I can unlock the screen without the pattern. Anyone else notice this?
I read about this a while ago, some bug with TouchWiz 4.0
security *FLAW* found...

Yup, I noticed this also... on my 2nd day... I was *informed* that if I truly wanted to SECURE the phone 100% with PIN/PASSWORD/Pattern, I would have to choose LOCK immediately, otherwise, every other swipe the phone can be unlocked without it... EXACTLY like you experienced it.
Just change it to IMMEDIATE and you should be fine...

You want to set the Lock Timeout to Immediately (to clarify things) Located in Settings->Location and Security->Timeout
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 wondering if there was a way to do this. You wake up your phone, it's locked. You hold the sleep button and the phone goes straight to the home screen.
Or even better, you wake the phone up by holding the sleep button and the phone idles on the lock screen for a second and then jumps to the home screen (similar to iPhone's new fingerprint scanner, but without the scanner). Maybe the lock screen can have a fake pin lock to mislead people using my phone.
I've been waiting for this for years but I don't think anyone's developed it. Would there be a way I could do it with Tasker? Or maybe there's something on xda that I can download for it to work? I am rooted with a Note 3.
Also, if there are any other revolutionary new lockscreen's out there, let me know! I'm not into the whole typing a password to unlock because everyone sees the password anyway. Plus it's tedious. Any ideas?
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
