Is this possible on the stock 4.1.2? I can't stand the screen unlock every time I get a notification. I have my lock screen as swipe, so every time I get a notification when my phone is in my pocket it usually unlocks and starts opening stuff. Or if I'm listening to music it will start changing songs.
Couldn't find a place to turn this off..

I'm coming from Windows Mobile, where the lock screen is much more tame (and usable in my mind). If I'm actively using the phone and turn the screen off and then on again, it's smart enough to not lock it immediately. If I recall, there's even a setting for how long it needs to be off before it locks.
Is there any way to get my Vibrant to behave like this? I hate that I have to swipe my unlock every time I turn off and on again.
Ummmmm.....the only thing I can recall is to set the timeout higher before it turns off?? I think its defaulted at 30 secs but you can set it higher or even turn it off so you manually black out the screen with with the power button.
Dont know if thats what your looking for..
Not really. I usually turn off the screen to look up and talk to someone (for example), and then when I turn it back on, I don't want to have to unlock it.

yea..I dunno.. I don't think you can disable the swype screen
There is an app on the market that you can use to totally disable the lock screen if you want. It's called no lock

Or you can buy widgetlocker from the market. It has a gangload of options and to my knowledge let's you do just that

I did disable lock altogether with Screen Tools 2, but that is not ideal. I couldn't see anything like what I wanted with widgetlocker. It allows a different timeout if the screen is turned on and locked, but that's not what I'm going for.
Anyone else have some help?
Hey forum. I don't know about you but I hate how the puzzle unlock show up every time my screen turns off. Even if it's turned off for a second. If I remember correctly, my old ipod touch had a setting where you can have the unlock screen only come up after the device's screen had been off for a certain amount of time. I tried to find it in the vibrant settings but didn't see anything so I turned off the unlock security altogether. This past weekend i was messing with my friends droid x and it was doing what I wanted my vibrant to do.
Is there a way to set some kind of timer so the puzzle unlock only shows up when the screen is off for 5/10/15 minutes?

in hit the lower left button go to setting hit that hit the display there you can change the screen timeout to 1-2 or 10 minutes and there (depending on your rom) you can change the screen lock as well
Sorry. When I said puzzle unlock, I meant pattern unlock. Im not trying to set the diplay off timer. I want to actually set a time for the pattern unlock so it doesnt come up every time my screen goes to sleep. I want to set it so that the security pattern unlock only shows up after my phones display has been off for five min. If I happen to turn on my phone before the 5 min, I want it to be the rugular slide android unlock. Sorry if I'm being unclear.

I don't think there is a way to disable it. There is a app called Widget locker that will let you put icons on your home screen. That way when your screen turns on just tap the app on your home screen with out unlocking your phone.
Hope this helps a little

Just to clarify, widget locker is a replacement lock screen. It'll replace your current one.
I'd also recommend trying nolock, which removes the lockscreen altogether (not sure about a pattern unlock though)
Since I don't use a pattern unlock, I'm not quite sure how to help otherwise.

Yea. If it gets to the point where I have to download an app, I think I'll just have to suck it up and live with it. I'll try to check out my friends phone the next time I see him to see if he's got a setting on his droid. And btw I'm using bionixV. Thanks

there is any way to stop automatically screen time out - turn off so it always stay on but is only locked, or wake up on another button besides power button, since I have a huge issue wake up screen.
AFAIK, the only way to lock your phone is by turning the screen off. If you left your screen on all the time, your battery would die after a couple of hours.
Download widgetsoid from the market. Theres a widget to keep screen on but I dont think it would be locked.

There is a tiny problem that is annoying me,when i lock the screen and after that i push one of the buttons to turn it on the screen doesnt show in the beginning the lockscreen,it shows the screen of the device,i mean if i lock my screen when the browser is open than when i push one of the buttons the device will show the browser and after that it will show the lock screen,sometimes its really short and sometime its little long.
Is there any way to disable this thing?

hey i am using screen off app to turn off and on my screen as a im afraid that my power button will break after some time and i dont want that....so proximity sensor will break if its continously on ? how can i turn on screen using any other way without rooting?
BTW im using atrix 2
I use the Lock Screen app from Play. Then I assign it to a gesture, such as swipe up, in my launcher (Apex, Nova).
But I still have to use a button to turn the phone on.
