Hello, i think it's not becoming clear from the title, but i don't know how exactly to name it. I have a corporate email set on my Xperia S. Since the email is corporate, i had to set Pin Unlock, which is something i don't like at all - especially when i'm driving. Is there a way to trick the security settings or the android to think that i'm using pin code unlock, but instead to use the normal unlock screen? The only possible unlock solutions which i have now (having in mind that the device security is managed by the exchange service) are pin or password unlock.

Did I get that right? You want Android to think you have a PIN, but don't want to enter the code?
You could make a delay until lock, so if your phone switched off, and you turned it on again after a minute, it's not locked yet.
Actually it's almost as you say - i want to be able to lock it and use the normal unlock slide instead of entering a pin, without having to remove the device security setting - basically trick the phone that a pin unlock is used. I still want to be able to lock the phone, since otherwise it's not sleeping properly and is reducing even more the already short battery life.

I don't think it's possible.
I have a ThL W8, running GravityMod 1.5 (android 4.2)
I want'ed to try out the face recognition based unlock, so I setup it to recognize my face and its working!
The problem is that I just wanted to check this out, so I tried to pull it off and but I was asking to input a security PIN which was made for a situation you're in a dark area and the camera wouldn't recognize you or etc...
Once I've setup the lockscreen I didn't put 2 much of attention to the PIN and I can't remember it.
I'm used to have this option of "forget PIN?" or something which allows you to reset your password with you google account but it seems missing.
I'd like to cancel it, what should I do?
Hi, I have a problem, this morning trying to unlock the phone (HTC desire 820) I received information that the pattern was incorrect. The formula is 100% correct. Finally, after a few phobe resets, the pattern came in and I have access to the phone, but now to turn this pattern off I have to provide it again in Security options, but it does not work again. What to do to get rid of this pattern? I have access to the phone and have to wake up every 15th time so that the pattern lock does not turn on again. I do not have ROOT. Please help
Please help, my Huawei requies after succesfull face recognition unlock still slide to unlock with finger, even if I checked in system settings Direct unlock feature under security option. Week ago everything was OK, now direct unlock not working. Any ideas? Thank You!!!
It does that when the face unlock and fingerprint unlock conflict with each other. It happens to me sometimes.
Just try not to use both at the same time by accident. I set my face unlock to only unlock when I'm looking irectly at it.
Thank You, bazanime, disabling fingerprint unlock solved my problem. But it is still strange to me, untill now (few days ago) both unlocking methods worked together...
Thanx again for help
This happen to me when i have finger print snd face unlock activate, and try to unlock with finger print and fail. In that case always recognise mi face but I have to swipe up to unlock 100%, dont know why either

You're welcome, Happy to help. Though I wouldn't turn off fingerprint unlock because it still good, just in case your face is not recognised. Just use the face mostly.

Try the following solutions to resolve the issue:
go to your Settings > Reset > Reset all settings . This will reset all settings, no data or documents will be deleted. Reboot your phone into recovery mode (press and hold the Power and Volume Up buttons simultaneously ) and use it to delete cache partitions (select Wipe cache partition) . Finally select Reboot system now.
Good Luck
Try turning off do not distrurb
It only does that to me when I lift my phone and it doesn't initially unlock with my face, so I mash my thumb onto the screen only to get blinded by the icon showing around the edges of my thumb putting out more lumens than Tsar Bomba, which triggers an epilectic fit of apoplectic rage during which I smash the phone repeatedly into my face and attempt to put either of my thumbs *through* my phone over and over again. That's the only time I see that.
This was hapening to me too !
My mate 20 pro always worked with facial recognition every time but recently worked intermittently, I tried all the usual reset and wipe cache partition, then I thought that the only thing I had changed recently was that smart lock and trusted place was on as I noticed that away from home facial recognition would work but at home it would say 'smart lock recognition successful slide to unlock' even though the phone was set to direct unlock - changed it, now problem it solved so maybe check this.
Update 9.1 solve this issue .. now it is much faster
I already updated to 9.1 but problem still existed, smart lock and turn off trusted place was definitely my problem.
The earlier mentioned "smart lock at trusted place" will ruin the face unlock.
NOTE: Even if the smart lock is OFF, it will interfere if you have some location saved and you are trying to use the face unlock in there. So you need to delete the "trusted place" from the smart location.
Simply turning off Bluetooth worked for me
Hi,
I kept my phone pin shirt pocket. It registered some unknown fingerprints with touch of my skin and it is locked. This happens daily and I unlock the phone with PIN.
But today I am unable to unlock it even with correct PIN. Even restarting or shutting down the mobile is asking for PIN. Not even getting any forgot pin, or forgot password options.
How to unlock the phone without losing data? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Find my device is working from my PC. But it is only showiwng options to ring or erase device. I can ring the device. But not seeing any other options to reset or change PIN
