I recently got into this setting and pressed enable without knowing what the default setting was. There are only two options. Enable and disable. Can anyone tell me exactly what this option is for and if I should enable or disable. Also, will a factory reset put this option back to factory defaults. Thx in advance!

I can't find that setting. Where at in the settings?
Its not really in the settings. Using ADW custom shortcuts, under activities, I found an option under PhoneUtil for the option Battery charging controls.

I have my widget locker all configured to my liking and such, but when I press the power button to turn off the screen, it shuts off but then instantly comes back on again. Basically I have to press power twice in order to achieve screen off status.
I'm wondering if there is somewhere in the settings I did this or can fix this? I'll reset and start all over if necessary, but was hoping someone here could help me.
Hmm... sounds odd man. I never had that issue and I have been playing with it for a bit. My best guess is you may have Easy Wake on in the settings. That will wake your phone when you touch Home, Menu, Back, or Search. Maybe your palm is hitting those buttons when you hit the power button??
If that's not it I would start over...
Nah man Easy Wake is unchecked as well as everything in that section. I really wish someone would have a fix for this. I guess I'll start all over and then post if I'm still having the problem.
Haven't reset everything yet, and I'm just noticing some more problems. If I press the volume rocker up or down while the screen is off it turns the screen on. Also sometimes when I turn the screen off, after about 5 seconds it'll randomly turn back on. This is similar to my original post problem, but the screen waits longer to come back on. Anyone use Widget Locker on your ThunderBolt and have success with it? I'm having nothing but problems.
1) Go ahead and go into applications under the main phone settings clear all Widgetlocker data. What you're describing is Easy Wake mode though you say that it unchecked. WL's settings might have gotten screwy and clearing the data should set it straight.
2) Go into the advanced settings of WL and make sure that you haven't disabled the notification icon. For some reason the old sense lock screen would cause issues if I had that checked.
3) Are you rooted? If so go into the advanced settings of WL and make sure Root Helper is checked.
Let me know what happens.
Shoot kevin an email. Hell get back to you quick. Very responsive dev.
working fine on my TB, not that it helps you any lol.
Seems as though my problems have gone away by simply disabling my security pattern.
mob87 do you use a security patter/pin/password with widget locker? Does anyone else?
Any one have any suggestions on how to get my security pattern/pin to work with Widget Locker?

I am having the same issues as the OP, will clearing all the data as described above, wipe everything that I have configured for the lock screen and I will have to start all over or not?
Also what does selecting "Root Helper" in advanced settings actually do?

Yes, it will clear all wl data and you will have to reconfigure your lockscreen. As far as roothelper I've never used wl so I really don't know, hopefully someone else can help you with that

I'm on a rooted Desire HD and I'm having the exact same issue with the screen coming back to life immediately after pushing the power button. I'm forced to have a PIN due to Exchange security settings.
I'll report the issue to the dev.
im having the same issue on m HTC desire. and im using Password pin protection as well.
i tried clearing the widgetlocker data/ downloaded the new superuser app from market and even reinstalled the app but still i can't find the solution.
if anyone has the update on this please let me know.
Anyone come up with a solution to this? I have an Inc2 with the issue. I also have to have a PIN for my Exchange server, so I imagine that's what's causing it. But, it's quite annoying and it'd be nice to have a fix.
Short Answer:
This happens on some HTC devices if the PIN activates immediately after the screen goes off, it will not happen if you delay the pin by either:
System Settings > Security > Lock screen after > 3 Minutes
or
WidgetLocker Settings > Long-press volume down for Experimental > HTC > HTC Lock Delay > 10 (seconds).
Long Answer:
WidgetLocker actually never turns the screen on by itself, however it does activate at screen off. HTC's pin screen on some (mainly newer) devices will wake the screen if something happens after the pin has activated. So WidgetLocker activating trigger's HTC's pin to wake the screen. (Ugh). But if it's delayed then it's no such issue. I haven't found a non-delayed solution to this yet. WidgetLocker's setting does the same thing as HTC's, however WidgetLocker lets you enter the number of seconds as whatever you want. Less than 10 seconds may work, but 10 seconds seems to consistently work across different devices and configurations and it's still really short so I'd recommend that.

How do I change what I've done LOL? While changing my wallpaper I was asked if I wanted to set wallpaper as lockscreen I didn't mean to pick yes but did. How do I change the option back? I can't find it.
Wallpaper options can be found in Settings>Display>Screen Display
Settings>Display>Screen Display
I checked there is no option there
What about if you go to ...Gallery> click on the pic you want as a wallpaper> menu> set as >Lock Screen Wallpaper
I'm talking about when it gave me the option to set the wallpaper as lockscreen also and I accidentally hit yes. How do I put it back to no?
This will reset other defaults obviously but this is the only way I know of myself. There has to be another way but I can't find it.
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > ALL > Android System > Clear Defaults
On a side note, do you remember specifically where you went and how you got that prompt to come up? I can test first as I just cleared the defaults myself but I can't get the request to come back up to ask if I want to make the change to both screens.
Its greyed out for me. Is there an apparently that can revert that?
Wouldn't the first thing you'd think of be do the exact same thing you already did...on another picture?
Does anyone know if theres any way to turn off the quickmemo shortcut or at least change the config for the button between the volume rocker. I have the tmo p769 running 10g obviously unrooted. So i need to know if theirs an option in the stock rom. Any help would help, thanks
I think there is no way to turn off the quickmemo shortcut, but you could try disabling it in Settings->Apps->QuickMemo.

If you mean quick memo shortcut in notification bar, I disabled it using edit button (rightmost button in notification bar, if you cannot see it, usually it hidden, just slide to show it)
Turn off the quick memo function.

If you are rooted, please get a hold of the Rom Toolbox from Google Store, I think it is free. If you are not rooted you can find a root for the LGOP in the XDA forums for your phone and carrier. Once rooted you can install and open the Rom Toolbox app. Next find the app manager tab. Under this tab scroll down to find Quick Memo. Tap on it and a menu will come up asking if you want to perform different options, select freeze. This will keep the app, but allow you to stop it's functioning. If this causes any problems you can go back repeat the process and restore it to it's original state by selecting defrost. I did this and it is currently working as a fix for me and I have not had any problems yet.
BTW, I am not an expert, all solutions if they exist may be found online and many of the better ones in this forum.
Good Luck.
You can't disable the QuickMemo app, but you can change what app the QuickButton opens or have it do nothing.
Where to go: Settings > QuickButton > Shortcut
Walkthrough: Go to the phone settings and scroll all the way down to the System section and tap on QuickButton. Then tap on Shortcut and a list of apps will show up. Select an app that you want the button to open. Or if you want it to do nothing, select None at the top of the list. That's it! Simple, right?
My lock key is not funtioning poperly. Does any one knows any other means to lock and unlock my phone
I really don't need to dismiss "on body location" yet one more time. Is there a way to turn off these things that appear unbidden at the top of Settings?
I'd like to stop these annoying messages too. Anyone know how to turn them off?

It took me awhile, but I think I've come across the solution.
First, you need to set up some kind of screen lock (not just swipe). I just used a "z" pattern. Next, tap on that annoying nag at the top of settings. This will lead you to some blah-blah. You need to enable this useless feature (which probably does not work on the NT anyway....) and then reboot.
Return to Settings>Security and look for "Smart Lock". Disable on-body-location. Now go back to your screen lock setting and return it to what it was (swipe, in my case). Reboot.
So essentially you need to enable the feature, reboot, disable the feature, reboot, and you're good to go.
Go to Settings and if the nag is still there use the three dots to banish it. It's gone for good :laugh:
That worked. Thanks a ton for the tip!
Hi all,
I recently purchased a Samsung A21s, running Android 10, for my wife and set it up so that when she pressed the power button to use it it went straight to the home screen. No Lock Screen at all.
She wanted to try the Fingerprint option so I set that up however she did not like it so I deleted her Fingerprint. Now I cannot find out how to bypass the Lock Screen, she how has to swipe to unlock. There is no "None" option either in the Lock Screen Settings, cannot remember if there was originally.
At the moment I press the power button, swipe on the lock screen, and it takes you to the home screen.
It used to:
Press the power button and it takes you to the home screen.
I just cannot figure out what I did initially to bypass the Lock Screen altogether. Can anyone stop me from going mad?
TIA
No ideas anyone?
I would really appreciate any input at all.
Try this go to Settings < General Management < Reset < Reset Accessibility Settings if that doesn’t work choose the first option Reset Settings.
Thanks for the suggestions, however neither solved the issue.
How to change the setting to get to the home screen, without swiping. Go to Settings > Lock screen > Lock screen type, and from the list select None.

Unfortunately there is no None option in the list.
Sorry if you tried that already, then I'd say the phone might need a software update.
If the software is up to date, lack of the "None" option, might have to do with a finance app, such as Google Pay, Samsung Pay, or banking apps. I think they have to have a lock screen, if you have a finance app installed and active, that might be why the option is hidden.
Related to this, I notice there's a toggle setting called Security policy updates. It's in Biometrics and security > Other security settings > Security policy updates. I'm not sure exactly what that does, but I'm assuming limiting options in settings, to comply with app security, might be part of it.

Thanks for your reply. I have no finance or banking apps on the phone so I guess this is not the cause of the missing "None" option. I still think it was related to me enabling fingerprints and then disabling it, though I'm not 100% sure. It is just do annoying. Have also contacted Samsung who "jumped" onto my phone to have a look around and they were unable to find the cause as well.
Settings lock screen then lock screen type and then none it should be there
