I Searched forum but did not find anyone to post this. If this is double post I excuse myself in advance but...
As you know when you insall certificate you have to use more secure way to unlock screen (Pettern, Password, PIN) and you can't use by default less secure unlock which is also swipe which I want to use even if I have certificate installed.
By the way I installed certificate for bank access.
Ok so yesterday I played with pattern to unlock my screen and I tried what if I use more than 5 wrong patterns.
As you probably all know if you unlock it five times or more you have to lock or you have possibility to unlock it with PIN which you had to type when you set pattern:
and when you try five wrong pattern you have possibility to use pin to unlock:
after you click on click on forgotten pattern you can unlock it with pin:
and voila you have swipe to unlock screen even if you have installed certificate.
Access with certificate will work until restart of phone, after that you have to insert pin for certificate store to work again or repeat steps.
Does anybody has better solution?
But probably this is a bug
So nobody has cert on phone?

I have exchange policies through company email, which are quite strict. I am happy with that. Only problem I have now, is that I have to put in the PIN to unlock every time my screen wakes up. Formerly in WM6.5 (HD2) I could unlock only with swipe in the first 30minutes, and after 30minutes of inactivity, I had to provide the pin.
Can I do this now as well ? Is there a difference on the S II between unlock screen and PIN unlock ? In the settings I cannot find this option; are there solutions for that (other lockscreen apps e.g.) who do accept that ?
Hi,
I would suggest you download the manual for the phone.
in the mean time:-
Go to settings/location and security/change screen lock
there you can disable screen lock, set a pattern for unlock, set a pin or password.
Then go to settings/display/screen time out and change the time it takes to lock
Hope this helps
Txs, I see now that also exchange policy has greyed out the pattern option. So I cannot disable the pin unlock and cannot put in pattern ... Unfortunately so ...
oh coroparate phones eh?

I use touchdown for exchange app, and the pin is needed only for the app not the phone.

This is what I am using on my Captivate to overcome the same issue, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848564, I know we are not on the same phone but I am pretty sure the "fix" can be done on the email.apk for your phone.
Basically you need to tell the native email app to tell Exchange that it is using a PIN when in actuality it is not. If it is too complicated for you to do yourself, Fenny is pretty cool about doing it for you, just send him a copy of the email.apk you are using.
Looks like there is already an email.apk for you found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13413332&postcount=1533
If i am using the original ROM on Galaxy S2 for United Kingdom, would this email.apk still work or do i need an updated file ? What are the chances of administrator finding it out ?
Hi All,
Haven't been able to find an answer to this anywhere but I'm wanting to allow Pattern unlock to users with Android devices but not allow users to not set a secure unlock type.
Right now I've enforced password requirements but that only allows pin based unlocks not pattern or face.
Are there any options to enable other types of unlock without removing security requirements at all within Exchange 2010?
Searched everywhere can't find anything on the topic except for people trying to get around the security features.
Shameless bump, does anyone know if this is possible at all at this stage?
I have the same problem. Exchange dosen't seem to support anything else but PIN and Password security, but also android versions act differently - I was actually able to use pattern unlock while using 2.3.6 - after changing to 4.0.3 the option was grayed out (as a policy of exchange)
It would be great if anybody knows a solution.

It is really annoying to use vpn in ics because of the password protection lock so is there a way to use swipe lock while vpn services active??

You don't necessarily need to use a password. I use a vpn with just pattern unlock set.
However, I believe that pattern unlock is the minimum level of security required for vpn access.

Yes i know but i dont want any kind of lock besides the swipe lock.

Fix to remove pattern/pin/password requirement for VPN
Hey,
theres a bit of a ghetto work around that i found for this annoying requirement on the new galaxy s 3.
First set up your VPN and the required pattern lock. Then you log in to samsungdive.com and press unlock my screen. This will trick the phone to not use the pattern unlock.
Just set your pattern lock to be a straight line from left to right (or right to left) on the bottom-most line.
That's very similar to a swipe lock.

Thats great !!! It's work.
No more password (of any kind) lock for the screen in order to use VPN acces!!
Thanks
Update:
Unfortunately, afther a reboot, there is no way to acces to VPN without setting a pass lock. Any idea how to permanently acces to VPN without the lock screen pass lock?
how about this? "VpnROOT - PPTP - Manager"

I have stock rom 4.1.2 (Spain release) on Samsung Galaxy S2. Do this:
- set VPN connection regulary
- set lock pattern
- set backup PIN
- turn off display to lock phone
- press HOME button (phone will ask for pattern now)
- enter WRONG pattern five times
- phone will ask for backup PIN code
- enter CORRECT backup PIN code
...and no more password protection lock when use VPN

Dears,
My brother was murdered in a terrorist attack in syria , I found his phone but it was locked by a security Pin Number , his phone might contain some critical info and pictures that can reveal some info.
How can I unlock it ?

enter the wrong pattern a couple of times and it should then boot into google boot up mode and ask you for log information with google password.
If you do not know the password you are out of luck.
Sorry for your loss.
hello,
Is it possible to only allow fingerprint unlock on my device?
Currently as far as I can see a pin or pattern is still required.
It would like to get rid of that.
Thanks.
Need pin to enable Fingerprint unlock. No way that I know to get round it.
Ni u can't and it is for good. If you burn your finger u can not unlock your phone, if you somehow brake the fingerprint sensor, u can not unlock your phone. You can only fingerprint and once in 72 hours it asks for pin so u can not forget it. That's it and this is how it should be

Since an earlier MIUI update this year my F1 requires entering the PIN every boot/reboot. After that the fingerprint reader works fine until the next reboot. And I recently unlocked the F1 and found the face scanner is finally working so I switched to it. Sadly, same reboot/enter PIN requirement as the fingerprint reader. Interesting that you're getting 72 hour intervals Gowcoizer. Is there a setting for that interval?
