Is there any way to use FoxFi without setting up a screen lock? When I bring it up, it says a screen lock is required, and pattern lock is preferred. I don't like to use screen locks on the S4.
If I do set up a screen lock, pattern or input, can I later set it back to no screen lock. I set up one on my old Droid Bionic, and there was no way to get it back to no screen lock short of a complete reload.
Or is there another tether program that I can use. Either wireless or USB would be fine.
Thanks,
Errol

I came looking for porn, didnt find it, but figured while I was here I could ask a question:
Let me first say I sync my phone to my works Exchange and they force some security settings on my phone, like the pincode to unlock the phone. On my Desire HD and GalaxyII I had WidgetLocker installed so I could control Spotify without unlocking the phone and typing the pin.
On the Razr it kinda looks like the standard lock screen would let me add widgets to it, but I cant figure out how so i started using WidgetLocker on this as well.
However, when I am in the widget locker screen and "slide to unlock" it just takes me to the standard "lock screen" and i must slide again and enter a pin code.
I assume WL have disabled the lock screen on the Desire and Galaxy, but cant on this?
Any ideas?
All i want is to be able to control Spotify without typing the pin and unlocking the phone, so if you have any other suggestion on how to get this done I would love you long time for it
Download the free app "no lock". It should take care of your issue. I use WL on my RAZR and have the No Lock app set to disable the stock lock screen. Works great.
At least for me, the hardware button is more than enough accidental turn on protection. Is there anyway to turn off slide to unlock?
When I had my Droid, I remember there were several methods available to do this; but I don't remember what any of them were called or if they are compatible. I know that GoLocker (the GO lock screen replacement) is NOT compatible, at least when installed through the Market.
Try the No Lock app from the market.
After setting up a security pin I have no slide to unlock on my device. I hit a button it asks for the pin i set i type it in and it goes straight to whatever was last on screen without asking me to slide to unlock,
I have the stock 2.3.6 rooted on my gNote. Is there any way to remove or disable the "Swipe screen to unlock" screen? I have Go Locker installed which has a nicer, configurable screen but for some reason the stock "Swipe screen to unlock" appears so I have to swipe it, and then swipe again on the Go Locker screen. I tried AntiLock but that didn't seem to resolve it!
The only way I found to stop the default swipe screen was to install No Lock. However, that might disable Go Locker from running as well. Try it though. Hopefully it works out well for you.
I use Widgetlocker. It's pretty cool. You can use multiple unlocks to go directly to an app and more customization.
Works for me.

I had a custom rom'd Skyrocket and Infuse for some time so I don't remember the stock behavior. The 'extra' lock screen after Widgetlocker's lock screen was bugging me as well. There is a lockscreen timeout setting in display/settings that I don't remember seeing in my other phones. If you exceed the threshold timeout period, then you will get the lock screen to enter your pin/pattern. But if you are within the timeout, then you will get the regular 'swipe' screen instead. I've tried a couple of WL settings including the one that says 'auto swipe' but that screen remains.

If, by any chance, you have the JKay Deluxe Setting option on your custom ROM, then, you also need to select no lock option on that (Golden Android app).

Yeah, WidgetLocker can't swipe that screen for you yet, but I found if you set it to IMMEDIATELY lock so the lock (pattern, pin, whatever) is always shown, you only get WidgetLocker followed by the lock. If you don't want the lock every time you turn on the phone (like myself), Delayed Lock will fix that, I have it set to "5 minutes after power off".
However, I've noticed a few times I've unlocked and the lock did NOT show, so I'm paying closer attention to it. I've twiddled a few settings in Delay Lock, maybe that'll help. This setup worked perfect on my Nexus One.
There seems to be plenty of adequate little homescreen button apps to lock the screen. but they turn it off at the same time. I want the option for both. I already have one that turns the screen off, now I want a different one that just brings up the ICS default lock screen (the one that shows up just after turning the screen back on or at OS startup - if you set it to have lock security).
I'll put em in the icon group on the home screen.
It's cos sometimes I just need to lock the screen while carrying the phone for a short while [and don't want to touch something while grabbing it by the screen], then easily [without having to press the power button] unlock phone again to resume using it once I'm done carrying.
IS there one that does this? Without having to be its own lock screen app - I really just want to keep things simple.....
Thanks for your help.
I found a solution even better than I had imagined myself! Hidden Lock Pro! even easier and better for my needs than I myself thought of: I press its widget icon to lock screen, it's a simple blank ICS background which is locked to prevent accidental pressing on something, then even better than the default lock security needs (cos it's only while I'm carrying it, in secure environments, that i ever need to use this temp lock function), and I have it set to 'shake to unlock' mode to simply go back to my work when ready! PERFECT for my needs above .
Hello,
I used foxfi and it said I needed to set up a lock screen. I did however I don't want my lock screen anymore as I rarely use foxfi(didn't used to require the lock screen).
I went to settings, security, encryption level - my only 3 choices are pattern, pin and password - none is greyed out.

Turns out I had to force stop foxfi and clear credentials.
