My screen Lock None and Slide options are off saying Disabled by administrator , encryption policy or credential storage.
I use eXperience V 2.1 Rom and this was OK at first. not sure when it was disabled. but I guess it was after setting My Xperia as the device admin.
But now that I disable it, still I don't have None and Slide options!

Hi all,
Does anyone know if there is a way to automatically switch between pattern and slide to unlock based on location? I know there are automation apps out there, such as tasker and setting profiles. I tried the LITE version of setting profiles and it does have an option to disable the lock screen completely, but not to switch between pattern and slide lock screens. I'd like to have a slide to unlock while at home, but have it change to a more secure pattern unlock when I leave home.
My guess is that this would be difficult because whenever you manually change between slide to unlock and pattern it asks you for your pattern, i.e. it doesn't seem to store your pattern if you ever disable it. I haven't tried tasker because it doesn't have a free demo version, but I would assume that if tasker (or another automation app) does have this ability, it would have to somehow store your pattern so that it can re-implement it, making it possibly insecure?
I'm not sure if there is a custom ROM that will do this. I'm currently running 4.0.4 plain vanilla rooted and unlocked on Verizon LTE Gnex.
Thanks!
In case anyone else was wondering about this, I found a way to do this:
You can make this work using tasker (paid app) in combination with an app called secure settings in the market (free). you need busybox installed, it will check. works perfectly, i have tasker automatically switch pattern lock off when i'm at home (based on cell towers) and automatically turn it back on when i leave home!
nice
I see that this thread has been dead for a little while, but I found it through a Google search since I'm looking for a non-root alternative to Secure Settings on my new, non-rooted phone. I'm currently using Llama, which is a free, location-aware automation app in place of Tasker until I root my new phone. Llama works with Secure Settings, but I can't try the pattern unlock switch since it requires root.
I can confirm that Tasker will switch from pattern unlock to swipe unlock automatically with Secure Settings. I set pattern lock as the default, and had Tasker switch to the swipe unlock if I was connected to any Wi-Fi network, but you could specify which network if you wanted to. In this case, Llama might work better if ask you want to do is automate based on location. Llama has triggers other than location, but it's primary focus is location based triggers.
Just an addendum to this, but when you disable pattern lock, the phone will revert to whatever the last lock method was. If it was "None" the phone will turn straight onto the homescreen. If it was "Slide" you'll see the side to unlock keyguard.
If you want to change this, go into Settings > Security > Screen lock > Slide then repeat but choose Settings > Security > Screen lock > Pattern. This effectively sets the 2 lock types the phone will toggle between.

Hi,
I dropped my phone this morning and, believe it or not, when I switched it on there was a new (swipe) lock screen.
This new lock screen might be because of an application that's adding a lock screen, but I can't find out which.
So to test some suggestions.
I setup a PIN unlock (I need this for corporate e-mail)
I setup the swipe unlock
So when I know switch on my phone I have to
- swipe (because of the unknown lock app or something)
- swipe again (because of the swipe unlock I setup above)
- enter a pin (because of the setup above)
Ideally I only want the pin unlock, so when I remove the swipe unlock from the security settings, I'm left with
- swipe (because of the unknown lock app or something)
- enter a pin (because of the setup above)
I want to get rid of this unknown swipe lock.
I've gone through the apps I've installed (after I uninstalled a couple) and none of them should have a lock screen
Any ideas on how I can solve this problem
Thanks

Hello,
I have trouble with control center. I have installed "Where's My droid" premium and "Smart lockscreen protector" apps. It's all great, but now there is another problem. When you lock your screen, you can still swipe down control center with all those (Wi-fi, Brightness, Auto rotate, bluetooth, Mobile data) options. So basicly, it means that phone thief can easily turn off Mobile data and I woun't find my phone. Meybe there is some solutions how to turn it off or something?

If you set a secure lockscreen, this should not be an issue.

I didn't quir understand you.. How can i set secure lockscreen?
Set the lockscreen with either a passcode, pattern lock, PIN code, face unlock, etc. Most phones have the settings in the Settings app under its own Lockscreen section or in the Security section.

I understand that, but thats not the case.. I have already lock screen with password. Thief cant get to my phone unless he enters right passcode to unlock phone/screen. I'm talking about the command central. Anyone can swipe down the screen from above and turn off the mobile data, wifi, etc. I have checked all lock screen options, but haven't figured ir out. For example here is article about iOs, but no androids. I can't post link, but you can type in google "how to turn off command center on lockscreen" and open 3rd website.
Sorry, should have tested that before I suggested. I could have sworn it used to be that way, but never use passwords so not entirely sure. Only thing I can think of to resolve would be a 3rd party lockscreen that has that option.
Is this issue was not resolved since 2015? I have exact same problem. I have face ID and fingerprint access controll, but still can swipe down with lock on and disable wifi, bluetooth and data. I Noticed this problem on MIUI 11, but still is a thing on MIUI 12 on Xiaomi Mi 9 SE
Anyone knows which process is the default MIUI lockscreen in titanium backup so I can freeze it? I installed holo locker but the phone sometimes still uses the default lockscreen upon wakeup.
If you have enabled Developer options you can turn the MIUI Lock Screen off there. It's the third option from the top. Skip screen lock
To enable Developer options go to Settings/About phone and tap MIUI version a few times until it says that you are now a developer.
Then go to Settings/Additional settings/Developer options to disable.
Hello guys...
Is there any way to avoid that an app verify if Screen Lock is set to enable or disable in the Settings??
Long history short...
is an application that obliges me to have the Screen Lock Enable with a pattern or a fingerprint..
now .. I use the cell phone as GPS when I drive... so I can not be entering passwords or making juggling on the screen every time I press the POWER button ..
so Is there any way to avoid that an app verify if the Screen Lock is enable or not?
:-(
