[Q] iphone password lock style for Galaxy S II - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I'm looking for the iphone password lock style for my Galaxy S II. Basically, in the iphone you basically input 4 digits then it unlocks without the need of pressing OK while in the Galaxy S II, you have to put the 4 digits then you have to press OK. Is there something similar can be made for the Galaxy. Note that I have to make the password lock due to my corporate email requirements.
Thanks in advance,

Would it be possible to use the swipe/pattern lock with your corporate requirements? Because it unlocks without confirmation as soon as you input the correct pattern.

No. I tried to use the pattern and the email wouldn't download until I made the password unlock. Not even the pattern worked. After I set the password, the option for the (Non Option) and the (Pattern) were locked and the status was showing (Disabled by remote phone administrator).
Any ideas?

anyone could have an idea to help?

Yes, ask your corporate IT-guy. If they somehow block you from accessing mail based on lockscreen settings, they should be able to tell you what to do

No it is not possible. For all corporate the password is a must for data security.
There is actually an app but unfortunately works only on HTC specific model called
lockpick but didn't work on my Galaxy S II.
I tried Moxier Mail and i have to input the password only when I get a new mail.

Use Touchdown. You still have to hit 4 digits and Ok but you only have to do it to enter the app not the phone.

Pin on default mail application (connecting to exchange)

Hi guys
Problem here... Default mail application on Galaxy 3, stock ROM -> Connecting to Exchange 2010 -> Connects fine -> Problem is it then asks for a default pin or password. Now I can't get into the mail until I set this, once this is set then I have to put a pin in everytime I unlock my phone, which is a pain in the ass, has anyone found a way to disable this password policy
Kind Regards

It's a setting that has to be changed on the Exchange server itself - it's obviously currently set to require the mobile device to have a PIN. Speak to whoever manages the server to get it changed

LoL, only problem is I admin the Exchange server, but very limited on advance function, stopped Windows support in my MCSE NT 4 track, so exchange 2010 isn't my specialty when it comes to making changes like this.
Does anyone know the steps to take on the exchange server to revoke this policy.
Kind Regards

Why do I need to dial my mailbox # when calling VM??

On Shostock 4 and StraightTalk. This is pretty annoying, been going on for quite some time, even before ST.
When it does go straight to my mailbox, it refuses to identify the stored password.
I was on Net10 for a month recently and had the same problem with the mail box. Net10 is another brand from the same company as Straight Talk. While I was on AT&T before switching to Net10, my voice mail would always connect without prompt. Then I went to Net10 for a month, and when I went back to AT&T, my voice mail still prompted me for the number. I found that there is a menu to change the settings. Apparently, this is a "so called" security feature. On AT&T I was able to disable the security feature so that my voice mail now works like it used to. I would bet that Straight Talk also has a similar configuration menu for voice mail, if you can find the instructions for it. If not, find the instructions for AT&T and maybe the prompts will be the same.

Yes, I know where it is (Phone, Settings). I just added the mailbox number to the dialing sequence, it's just annoying that you need to it.
Thanks!

I wasn't referring to using speed dial to include the password after a pause and the # symbol, but doing it that way is actually more secure. Here are the instructions for turning the password on or off on AT&T:
By default, the password requirement is on when you set up your voicemail. For your security, we don't recommend turning the password requirement off.
Here's how to turn the voicemail password feature on or off:
1.Press and hold 1 or Voicemail key to call into the voicemail system from your wireless device.
2.If you have new messages, press the * key to skip to the Main Menu, otherwise go to Step 3.
3.Press 4 for Personal Options.
4.Press 2 for Administrative Options.
5.Press 1 for Password Options.
6.Press 2 to Turn Password On or Off, and then follow the prompts.
It seems that some people can access their ST voice mail without a password, but the official word is that the 'security feature" can not be turned off. I no longer have any way to test it.

Entering the password is half the problem. Although it's annoying that it is asking for it now, my bigger issue is with entering the mailbox number. This is really inconvenient, especially when you drive and want to retrieve your messages.

Verizon - Lock Screen Pin and Advanced Calling

In previous phones I was able to, on lock screen, input my PIN and it would go directly into the phone. Now I need to click OK. Every thing I've seen thus far tells me to go into the settings and into the PIN setup and click "Enable (or disable) confirm PIN without tapping OK". That doesn't seem to show up when I go into the PIN setting.
Also - When I go into Connections>Advanced Calling - Only HD Voice is available, not HD Voice and Video Calling. I checked my Verizon account and it's been applied to my line so I am not sure if it's something I'm missing here.
Anyone tackle these yet?
edit: I contacted Verizon via chat and they needed to activate the Video Calling on their end, even though it was active on my account already.

I forgot the pattern but have access to the Gmail.

Hello,
I have a Huawei nova 2 plus and I forgot the pattern lock. I tried some patterns, but my cellphone tell me that "Some features are disabled for security reasons". I search in the Internet and I found that the pattern can be recovered by Gmail. I have access to my Gmail that I had set on my cellphone but the cellphone disabled the internet connection because of the incorrect pattern tries
I contacted to the Huawei for this problem, but they suggest me "Reset Factory". I have some information on my cellphone that I don't like to lost them.
How can I remove the pattern?
Thank you.
