This is the most frustrating feature because I somehow manage to unlock my phone all the time while the phone is in my pocket. There has got to be some setting in build.prop or somewhere where I can disable or override this function, right? Anybody know what I need to do?

which ROM are you using?
Started off with Scott's Senseless 2.0 ICS ROM, but I've made plenty of changes to it as well along the way..

Does anyone know of a phone profile software, whereby the phone can be switched offline and switched back online WITHOUT having to constantly enter the PIN number.

Just go into the comm manager and set it to Airplane mode, and you'll switch it offline.

If the PIN is the security pin for the phone, then my understanding is that it will always be required when you switch the phone on. You could of course disable the Pin. Do you need to go offline or can yoiu just go on to silent - there a re a few profiles ssystems that allow you to go to slient mode but I find it easier simply to turn the volume down!
Looking for a software, where I do not have to input phone pin everytime.

Why do you need a separate software? When you dont want to enter PIN, just disable it!

Do do what? If you don't want the PIN then, as others have said, dissable it.
Or do you want some software that can magically detect when it is you using the phone and not ask for the PIN when it's you but only ask for it when it's someone else?

Now there's a thought....
OK, OK. I also have an N95 and when I go offline and return to online, there is no need to to enter a pin. Pin is only entered at the on off stage or when I re-boot the phone. Its handy to do this without disabling the PIN. From the smart-alec type respones, I gather there is no such software.
my mother just bought an sgs2 about 1 week ago. she is not that expert in phones and all that, but she has a serious problem now. she made a lockscreen code witch she cant remember now. stupid right. how can u bypass it or dissable it. i must say i have tried my self almost anything i can think of
this is what i my self have tried:
factory reset / hardreset didnt work
flashing stock rom again, didnt work
flashing 3 custom roms didnt work, to mention with root kernels
and no my mom never made an gmail account. she only uses it for calling and sms
so what the hell is there to do??
or do i need take to a samsung service center???
You're likely looking at data loss by factory resetting and overloading it with wrong passwords from recovery mode.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17039887#post17039887
Though you say you've factory reset already and it didn't work - what didn't work?
when i did factory reset and rebooted the phone, it went okay, and i thought i had dissablet it, but no, when the screens turns black and u want use it again, the lockscreen keeps apper
Can't you just disable it before the screen turns off then? Settings --> Location and security --> Set up screen lock --> None.
no when trying to dissable it asks for the code, u must enter the code before able to dissable, im stuck, what should i do
I just noticed your thread [Q] screen locked, need help.

2 days ago i found a sgs2 on the ground outside at the city. the screen is totally ****ed but it still works. so i thought cool, who ever lost it, should have been more carefully, but honestly i dont care.
but when i turn it on, i can se its on cynogenmode but i cant use cause of some screen password. i have tried everything from re flash og several types of roms, including stock, cynogenmode and exonys, but all appear but it wont install new rom. i cant enter factory mode, cause when i try it says need password. so i cant do a hardreset. i have searched the net for everything, and i have tried almost possible ways to get around that screen lock, but nothing works. so how can i get rid of it??? when i press volume upp with home and turn on button it askes for passworld, when i do it with volume down, i get into odin mode. i have tried 0000 and 00000000 but still dont work. any one can help?? pls

Hi, I have a Nexus 4 and I activated developer mode by typing 7 times on the build number. Is there any way I can disable developer mode so I will not be a developer anymore? I switch off in the developer options but I was wondering if I can remove that from settings for good and to not be registered as a developer anymore.
Please if you know how , reply!

Why do you want to turn it off? There's really no point to that.

Doesn't affect anything? Like upgrade to newer built or something? My phone isn't rooted that is why i wanted to turn off, is there a way?

It affects literally nothing. Don't turn it off, some of the features in there are useful. If you want to make your phone feel faster for example, just turn all of the animations to 0.5x.

It affects security. Anybody who has the phone will be able to run commands on it through adb.

No it doesn't. You have to have adb enabled for that to work. Just having it present in the options is safe.

Just say: "I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THAT!"
Poster don't want to know how this mode is good and what he lost if this mode will be turned off.
It's not so hard for undrstanding. If You know - explain how to do that, no - shut up, please.
im trying to disable forever that annoying Power saver mode that disables mobile internet when screen off in htc phones(not only the notification).
By now, i figured out it has something to do with power.saving.mode, but i cant find a detailed explanation on the forums, and testing on it didnt have significant changes.
Can someone help me please? Google also cant find a detailed explanation on this matter, only different settings.
pd: i dont mean disabling it in settings menu, because it activates itself again.
I´ve read that in some devices, service menu gives the option to disable some sort of power saving mode, but in this model codes wont work (*#*#4636#*#* wont give that option)

Freeze the app if you are rooted ..... Or disable using a guide posted in general forum

power.saving.mode
first of all, thanks for answering.
If i do so, the whole energy option dissapears...is it possible to do so without sacrificing the whole thing?.
maybe it would be easier to customize it, i mean, set it to launch at 5% instead of 14%, but i have to look how as i dont have a clue to do so, or even if its possible.
and finally, i dont know if im saying this correctly, Eid Mubarak to you and your family!
Just as the title reads. Updates the fingerprint with cool animation.
Thanks for the information about the new firmware update for the new Bold-N1!
After comparing this new Bold-N1 with the BLU-XI+ (with 6GB of RAM), which I also have, I have noticed that apparently due to the low 4GB of internal RAM... That most negative and annoying thing when using this new BOLD-N1 is its bad management of it's RAM Memory, which BOLD should urgently solve in an upcoming update, because there are other similar phones with also 4GB of RAM that handle this memory much better when running several applications at the same time.
So I expected BOLD to do something to improve, the handling of the RAM in the BOLD-N1 ...
Apart of Updating the fingerprint with cool animations, Do you know if there any other fixes or enhancements?
I just wanted to add that it lost root with this update, but was able to flash my old modified boot image with no negative effects. I thought it might cause a boot loop, but it works fine.
im not currently on the stock rom, so i cannot do it. Has anyone managed to copy the update file, before it being installed?
Ok I asked and got a response. Here is the update package.
https://android.googleapis.com/pack.../404ed8bd09ac64e1c9a1252713be24abff463f81.zip
Possible warning
Not confirmed yet. But it is possible this update is changing the preloader , making sp-flash tool no longer connect without signed images.
Someone who has already installed the update, can you confirm if flash tool still allows flashing?
Fingerprint scanner activating on picking up the phone
Anyone know if there's a way to disable the fingerprint scanner activating any time I pick up the phone now? Never did that before the update, it's pretty annoying. Already have lift to wake turned off, but that doesn't fix it. Went through every setting and didn't see a way to fix it.

Pretty sure that would be under the "lift to wake option" found in settings->Intelligent Assistance->Lift to wake
See if the switch is set on and toggle it off. Mine isn't and my scanner doesn't activate when picking up

Nope, that isn't it. That's off now, and was off before the update, and this only started happening after the update.

weird - I'm not having that problem
Apart of the Security Update and adding some cool Animations to the On-Screen Fingerprint Scanner...
I have also noticed that after the updating we are now able to turn ON or OFF Adaptive Brightness directly from the slide down menu.

Please, anyone? This seems to really be killing my battery life, I'm getting down to 10 percent now, when before the update I would be down to about 40-50 percent with the same amount and time of use after this update.
I just updated my bold n1 with the new security patch and I don't know if this was available before hand, but I noticed that the fingerprint reader now appears on the bottom of the screen just by lifting the phone up. I don't remember it doing that before.
