As far as i know the only solution i've found is to use widgetlocker...an alternative lockscreen.
I mean screensaver which remains on screen after screen sleep....

Never heard of such a thing. Screen sleep = screen off so how is this possible?
You can on the other hand use the app "show off" and set your screen timeout to very long but your phone wont be locked.

I'm coming from Windows Mobile, where the lock screen is much more tame (and usable in my mind). If I'm actively using the phone and turn the screen off and then on again, it's smart enough to not lock it immediately. If I recall, there's even a setting for how long it needs to be off before it locks.
Is there any way to get my Vibrant to behave like this? I hate that I have to swipe my unlock every time I turn off and on again.
Ummmmm.....the only thing I can recall is to set the timeout higher before it turns off?? I think its defaulted at 30 secs but you can set it higher or even turn it off so you manually black out the screen with with the power button.
Dont know if thats what your looking for..
Not really. I usually turn off the screen to look up and talk to someone (for example), and then when I turn it back on, I don't want to have to unlock it.

yea..I dunno.. I don't think you can disable the swype screen
There is an app on the market that you can use to totally disable the lock screen if you want. It's called no lock

Or you can buy widgetlocker from the market. It has a gangload of options and to my knowledge let's you do just that

I did disable lock altogether with Screen Tools 2, but that is not ideal. I couldn't see anything like what I wanted with widgetlocker. It allows a different timeout if the screen is turned on and locked, but that's not what I'm going for.
Anyone else have some help?
Hey forum. I don't know about you but I hate how the puzzle unlock show up every time my screen turns off. Even if it's turned off for a second. If I remember correctly, my old ipod touch had a setting where you can have the unlock screen only come up after the device's screen had been off for a certain amount of time. I tried to find it in the vibrant settings but didn't see anything so I turned off the unlock security altogether. This past weekend i was messing with my friends droid x and it was doing what I wanted my vibrant to do.
Is there a way to set some kind of timer so the puzzle unlock only shows up when the screen is off for 5/10/15 minutes?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
in hit the lower left button go to setting hit that hit the display there you can change the screen timeout to 1-2 or 10 minutes and there (depending on your rom) you can change the screen lock as well
Sorry. When I said puzzle unlock, I meant pattern unlock. Im not trying to set the diplay off timer. I want to actually set a time for the pattern unlock so it doesnt come up every time my screen goes to sleep. I want to set it so that the security pattern unlock only shows up after my phones display has been off for five min. If I happen to turn on my phone before the 5 min, I want it to be the rugular slide android unlock. Sorry if I'm being unclear.

I don't think there is a way to disable it. There is a app called Widget locker that will let you put icons on your home screen. That way when your screen turns on just tap the app on your home screen with out unlocking your phone.
Hope this helps a little

Just to clarify, widget locker is a replacement lock screen. It'll replace your current one.
I'd also recommend trying nolock, which removes the lockscreen altogether (not sure about a pattern unlock though)
Since I don't use a pattern unlock, I'm not quite sure how to help otherwise.

Yea. If it gets to the point where I have to download an app, I think I'll just have to suck it up and live with it. I'll try to check out my friends phone the next time I see him to see if he's got a setting on his droid. And btw I'm using bionixV. Thanks

Hi All,
I have been using my galaxy s2 since last 1.5 months. No issues/errors/defects till today.
Today all of sudden a yellow line appeared in my lock screen. It is horizontal line coming between date and time. This line only appears in lock screen once I unclock my phone then line is not there which means it is not hardware problem. Please see the following pics with line and without line.
Guys, could you please help me how can I remove this line.
Thanks,
JM
have it too. disable the screen lock, then it must gone.

But I need lock screen... What happened in last 1 hr. It had been working fine since last 1 month.
Please help. Do you have any other solution so that I can keep lock screen

Maybe you haven't noticed before?

No it wasn't there earlier...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
are u sure? i think it was always there, but it could be that you had a darker background for the lockscreen
I'd like to inform those reading this post that I just experienced the same problem as the OP. No way to get rid of the thin line which wasn't there before. Corrupt lock screen wallpaper? I don't think so, since changing the wallpaper doesn't solve the problem. Also it can't be a hardware problem since the thin line appears on the lock screen only. I now notice this line on all types of screen locks (pattern, pin, password).
Hope this helps
It's just a line across the screen. It's part of the lock screen.

I dont have that on my lock screen, can you set the same image as a homescreen wallpaper and see if it also has the same issue? I've got a feeling its a defect or at least a SW issue.
Root your phone and buy widgetlocker....

It is not a defect. My phone does exactly the same. Maybe some FW has it and others don't, but it is not a problem. It is just part of the design of the lockscreen.
Obviously it isn't a hardware defect, since it clearly appears on the pics you posted, and those are not photographs.
It is also precisely in the middle position between the date and the alarm indication, therefore I'm pretty sure it's there on purpose, software coded.
Just a question: are you using the stock firmware / ROM / launcher??? I'm on stock firmware, ROM and launcher and yy lockscreen is far simpler... I just have the digital time and date overimpressed on the lockscreen picture, and nothing else.
I am having this problem as well, though my line is grey. The horizontal line goes from one side of the screen to the other between the date and the alarm time. This line was NOT there an hour ago so we can dismiss any answers like "maybe you just didn't notice it". The only change was that I powered down my phone and powered it on again. I, like most, originally thought I had a problem with my screen but it only appears on the lock screen. I normally use a pattern lock but I checked and the line appears when it is on number lock as well. My wife has never used the lock feature but I set one up just to see and she has this line as well. It doesn't serve a purpose and it wasn't there before, I'd just like to know why it is now. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks in advance.
If You setup PIN lockscreen and then go again to lockscreen settings phone asks You for your PIN before allowing to change settings. This line is there also. It's not a "problem" or a "defect" it's just a part of the lockscreen design. You act like it's some kind of a disaster and huge bug which renders phone unusable but it's just a line separating date from time seen for about 1s when unlocking screen. Do You think there should be a switch do disable every part of android interface ?
Ps. to be sure - I rebooted my phone and this line is there also just after reboot. And this line is not grey - it's semi transparent. I'm certain that in my case it was there from the beginning.
Ps2. look at this or this one - returned by google images for "sgs2 symbol lockscreen" - nasty lines everywhere
If You hate this line soo bad try to prepare wallpaper that has it's own line at this position which when merged with this semi transparent line will become invisible.
This has appeared in mine today. I've also noticed sometimes that the lock screen touch screen messes up occasionally and when you drag between the lock dots to do the pattern; it drops the line drawing after a dot when you change direction.
If I turn off the screen and light it up again then once or twice it fixes the drawing problem, though the horizontal line is still there.
Has anyone on this thread experienced degradation of anything on their phone since they noticed this lock screen line? Want to catch a fault before my warranty runs out (if there is a fault!)

For locking and turn off display, try Screen off and lock. No idea for the clock
Hey guys, I got my phone last Saturday and have been playing around with it ever since.
I noticed that I had the night clock bug (whole screen is lit up) and as far as I know it's already a confirmed software bug. What I also noticed though was that my lock screen is also lit up. I'm using a pure black wallpaper which works well when the phone is unlocked (appears pure black) but the black is lit up when the lock screen is shown. It's almost like there's backlight bleeding. In the home screen and lock screen preview though it shows that it should be pure black
Here are screenshots of the "bug". I'm actually thinking it's a software bug since it was captured by the screenshot. http://imgur.com/a/p5maP (Take note the the blacks on the first image is different from the other 3)
Was wondering if this bug is related to the night clock bug or a defect with my unit.
If anyone is willing to help, kindly try changing your wallpaper to a solid black color and check if the blacks on the home screen and lock screen is different.
Thanks! (I have 4 days left until I won't be abe to replace my unit so I'm trying to make sure everything's good)

They're referring to the Night Clock alone. I have that problem as well as a lockscreen problem. Haven't seen anyone reporting if they have the lock screen problem so I'm trying to figure out if it's a software glitch or a bug with my unit.
Basically the lock screen preview when applying a new wallpaper shows that the lock screen should have super amoled blacks but when I lock the phone the black is lit up.

If there's any consolation I experienced this very problem. Were you using fingerprint to unlock? I hadn't seen it because I had swipe to unlock.
I still haven't figured out how to fix it.

That's normal. This happens because the lock screen puts a slight filter on your wallpaper. It de-saturates the image. You can try with a solid red color, it might be easier to see.

Not, really. This only happens when you have Fingerprints/Pattern set up as your Screen lock type.
If you set it to Swipe, with the water droplet effect, there's no "filter."

Yeah it's clearly a bug, but OP thought it might be a defect of his phone. I was just reassuring OP that the problem exists in my phone as well. Thanks for that link. I did try the solution they proposed but it didn't work for me either...
Solution not working...plz another fix?
I have the same bug on my Galaxy J5 (super amoled), I use pin to unlock it. It is pretty annoying. I use the same black picture for both lock screen and background pic, and after unlocking the phone, black backlight turns off. Swipe to unlock solves the problem, but I have to take one of the disadvantages : either backlight or not locked phone.
Download "klwp live wallpaper maker" from playstore and make a all black wallpaper . Save it go to settings ---> background/wallpaper, set KLWP as lockscreen and wallpaper/background.
Not solved? are u using xposed? if so, download Bright Lockscreen and see if this helps.
