How do I change from Pin lock to Pattern lock? - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yes, I searched the forums.
No, I did not find a solution.
I want to change from pin to pattern but there's nothing in settings that lets me do this. I cant even change form pin to pin. is there a bug or did I have a brain fart?
I don't want to factory restore just to set up a new method of locking my device but I will if I absolutely have to.
thnx

Bro, just scroll up on that screen(Location & Security) and you would see a Lock Screen tab with "Configure lock screen"

which version of android you have? i have Overcome 2.1.1 (android 3.2) it has the pattern lock.
setting -> location and security -> lock screen > configure lock screen.
From your screen shot, i see that "lock screen" section is missing

I have Honeycomb v3.2 If I restore my device to factory default I will have the option to use pin or pattern but that's too much work to do just to change my locking method.'
Anybody know why I don't have it? my device is rooted but so is my Galaxy S II and I don't have any issues.

There are a few ways to disable the slide unlock option. Depends what rom your using, you can do it by navigating to the \windows\startup folder and there will be the locks exe file, delete it and you won't have a screen lock.

Now I have additional 5MB of RAM and lock feature still active.
disable only slide-lock Graphic screen:
Reg-key: HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/LockScreen/Enable=0
OR the same as cab

replace app in android menu

I removed in my phone several apps but in menu still is a entry for Sprint ID, then i want remove or replace the default app for this button, in another words replace shortcut destination/folder for when i select/open Sprint ID instead open other app.
In this menu (example):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

}
Thanks.
I'm sorry, what?
Most custom launchers like Launcher Pro will allow you to hide apps from the app drawer, but for the Menu, I am unclear on what you are trying to do.
Are you trying to add a shortcut to the sub menu? I don't see Sprint ID anywhere on that screen-shot, confused on what exactly you're trying to replace.

This screenshoot is not mine but that menu open with same key in my phone, i´m not sure which name is.
Oh, okay. You mean this.
Yeah, the only way I got around it was installing a replacement launcher.
If there's a way to replace that option on the menu, I'm sure that it'll need to be flashed over, and at that point you might as well try out another ROM
Something like this, which is a stock rom that has been de-blurred, and most of the Sprint bloatware removed.

Or you can run this script that will de-cruft your current rom.

Remove Lock Screen Completely

Hi,
I'm looking for some help with removing the Honor 9 lock screen completely.
I've turned off password etc but still have the "slide to unlock" screen on without any security. I don't want this screen at all.
There is an option in developer options that says "Screen Lock" thats enabled and greyed out, I can't turn this off. Under it, it says "disabled by administrator encryption policy or credential storage". I have tried clearing credentials, turning phone on/off etc as instructed online but no look.
I really want rid of the lock screen altogether.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

сделайте сброс на заводские установки и пункт в разделе разработчиков станет активным.
I tried that but it made no difference, the option was still greyed out.
I still need help with this. The option in developer options is greyed out. How can I gain access to this to disable the lock screen?

I had the same problem and I solved it. Make "Settings" "Advanced Settings" "Backup and Restore" "Cancel All Settings"

By default the Honor 9 encrypts all your user data when you set it up out the box. It is now a standard feature of EMUI since version 5
We have the same problem, and non of the tips worked.... We have tried to cancel all settings in backup and restore, but that didn't help either...
What else can we do?
Thanks ?

The OEM Unlock toggle will be missing in Settings > Developer options.

Question Soft rebooting

My unlocked s23 ultra on Verizon keeps doing what I call a 'soft reboot'. What I mean by this, is all connections drop (Bluetooth, wiif, calls, etc.) all notifications are removed, and I have to unlock my phone as if it was just rebooted or turned on (pin required). It takes only 10ish seconds, so it is not a hard reboot, and my adb settings stay turned on (used for Tasker). Are there logs I cam review (Tasker's shows nothing) or some tool to track what is causing this?
i think every 72 hours you have to enter your pin again for security reasons, if it gets stolen or something.
If thats the case its not a soft reboot it just requires you to enter your pin again.

Thank you, but what I am experiencing clears all open apps, closes all open radios (phone, Bluetooth, wifi, etc), clears all notifications, stops any of my running widgets (like a weather notification and a traffic analyzer) and the password screen indicates I have to enter my password at boot up (or something similar, I can try and get a picture)
Is "Restart when needed" option activated in Device care -> Auto optimisation?
Try in safe mode. If it doesn't happen then there's an app causing the issue. If it happens contact Samsung support
