Hi, is there a way to remove the pin lock option from the settings before I give my sons a phone, I'm happy for them to use a pattern lock?
incorrect pin doesn't give the same option to reset as pattern.
Thanks

you would have to edit settings.apk. you can block the settings app using another app that can password protect apps. if they have pattern unlock set up then just dont bother with pin lock?

thanks, editing the APK is beyond me, I tried an app a year or so ago, can't remember what it was but didn't work as well as I'd hoped, I was hoping there was a new, elegant solution

You used to be able to set it so when you do the pattern unlock it doesn't do a massive line across the screen showing everyone exactly what your pattern is.
Can't find it any more. Anyone help?!
Settings -> Security -> Select pattern
After the setup there should be an option to hide the pattern. At least i've got one.
Ah yeah, thanks maddd.
My confusion arose because I'm using the face unlock, and when it asks you for the backup method (pattern in my case) it doesn't give you the option to hide it!
So you have to tell it to use pattern, hide it, then change it to face-then-pattern.
Bit of an oversight if you ask me.
It doesnt? Well thats not very smart. But if it works this way, I learned something too
On my mobile with A2.1 anyone can unlock the screen simply by swiping from left to right.
Is there an app to lock the screen by some password or whatever, to prevent thiefs and alike to easily access the phone?.
TIA

How can I disable the first lockscreen? by this I mean, if I use pin or pattern or password lock, they appear after the first lock screen with the slide to open. I would like when I bring the phone from standby to go straight to the unlock (pin or password) screen rather then first screen which I need to slide to open then the locked screen where I need to input pin or password.

Not quite sure what you mean, but is it missing lock screen security you're on about? If so have you double checked that you have a lock screen security setting set up such as knock on, pattern lock or so. If you don't know how to check go to settings, security and lock screen(or so), in there make sure you have one checked.

App from Huawei with the app lock feature via fingerprint?
Does anybody know an application where u can set your fingerprint for a standard
Password?
Thanks for help
You can use fingerprint lock for all apps.
Go to phone manager>swipe to second page>more>App lock
where you will get prompt to associate lock with fingerprint.
Also note the dialer, contact, and sms is one single app. So you have to lock the ""Huawei contacts" app.
never new about applock....thanks
Also is there a way that we can set fingerprint for unlock the phone and a pattern as an alternative choice? Because as an alternative unlocking choice is only a password or PIN

I'm really interested on that.
Hope that now that the source of the kernel has been rolled out somebody will find a way to do it
For me even the normal lock screen without any password + fingerprint would be great.
what is "phone manager" ? i'm using the french langage. thanks.
Phone manager is one of the pre installed huawei tools, the icon is like a sheild..
