So after this update, I keep pocket dialing, texting, opening random apps, etc. If i use a pattern, face, or pin lock I pocket dial 911 (7 times in 8 hours). If i use swipe or no lock, my phone unlocks and the screen stays on all day. Is there a good solution to this? Or a way to remove the emergency call?

If my s2 is in my pocket and I receive a text the phone comes out of sleep mode and while walking about I'm sending random texts because the screen is awake! I didn't have this problem from my last s2 as the screen didn't wake until I pressed the sleep/on off button - is there a setting so the phone stays asleep until I wake it????
The screen does usually turn on when you receive a text message, it doesn't do so if you receive emails, Whatsapp messages etc.
I'm guessing you have the normal circle slide unlock enabled. Use a pattern or PIN code to unlock, that should stop it from getting unlocked by itself.

I have to use an 8 digit alphanumeric passcode due to my company's security requirements. This unlocking is a pain. However, locking the phone (to prevent butt dialing, etc) is nice to have.
On the Motorola DROID you could lock the phone with the power button, but wouldn't be prompted for the PIN unless you had the screen off for over 29 minutes (or whatever time up to 29 minutes that you'd set). If you woke the phone before 29 minutes, you wouldn't get the PIN prompt... You would only swipe to wake. This is what I want on the Note 2 but can't find a way to do it.
In other words, if I wake the phone within 29 minutes, I want the phone to lock, but I only want to swipe to unlock. I don't want the Pin prompt within 29 mins.
Doesn't seem like this combo is possible on the Note 2. I seem to be able to lock with the Pin instantly or no lock at all until you hit the set time threshold with the screen off.
Any ideas?

I have mine set up similar to how you describe, but without the swipe to unlock in the 29 minute window (not sure that is possible)...go Settings > Lockscreen. Choose Screen Lock with PIN and make sure the Lock Automatically with power key is unchecked. Then go into Lock Automatically and choose 30 min. Now you should be able to turn the screen off with the power button and wake it up anytime within 30 min without the PIN. Only caveat is that for some reason missed calls lock the screen regardless of how long it has been, but that is a small issue.
I don't think there's a way to 'layer' the lock screens with an admin exchange account forcing a PIN...would be nice though. I didn't realize the 'missed call bug'...interesting and probably explains why my phone occasionally locks within the 30 minute timeout.
Hi,
On my LG Nexus 5, I have setup a delay for the lockscreen to 2 minutes after the phone is not in use. This is also true for when I turn off the screen with the power button (the phone will only lock 2 minutes later). I love this feature as I don't have to input my password too often when, for example, I turn the screen off and realize I forgot to check something. I just press the power button again and the phone is unlocked (if done within 2 minutes).
My questions is how can I lock my phone immediately without changing the 2-minute setting? In some cases, I would like the phone to lock immediately. Does anyone know how to do this without installing some new app on my phone? And if this is not possible, can you recommend an app that would allow me to lock my phone right away (for example when I tap an icon or something)?
Thanks!
Hi all,
I've got a Kyocera Torque with Andriod 4.1.2 and the screen lock feature on it is very annoying. My last phone was a Motorola Atrix with Android 4.1.1 and the screen lock feature on it worked well. I enabled a PIN lock screen with a two minute time-out, which was longer than the screen time-out. It worked as follows:
- If the screen timed-out but you press the on button with a second or two, the screen re-awoke with no lock, i.e. you returned to the screen you just left.
- If the screen timed-out but it was less than the two minute security time-out, you were presented with a simple (non-PIN) swipe unlock.
- If the screen timed-out and it was more than the two minute security time-out, you were presented with the PIN keypad
Seems nice enough. However, Kyocera misses the middle item above:
- If the screen times-out but is less than the two minute security time-out, the screen re-awakes with no lock, i.e. you returns to the screen you just left. This leaves you prone to butt dialing, random browsing, etc...
- If the screen times-out and it is more than the two minute security time-out, you are presented with the PIN keypad
It looks like "C Locker" provides this functionality, but then that won't integrate well with the encryption. Is there a way to port the Motorola locker to the Kyocera?
Thanks,
Michael
So say for some odd reason you have your screen time out on 5 minutes, phones on silent you get a text. It wakes your phone up for 5 minutes. I have a rough idea of separating the screen time out selection into two. A screen time out set for when the end user unlocks his or her phone and a wake lock induced screen time out. Now I know there's anti wake lock apps but the idea is as I stated a set screen time out for a user induced wake lock and app induced wake lock. This idea popped into my head randomly as I don't leave smart stay on so I max screen time out to watch video's and sometimes luck my phone on silent for getting to change the screen time out back. Anyone have any insights about this.
