[Q] "Double" lock screens - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys - I have a lock screen question I'm hoping you can help me with.
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S4 (AT&T) with stock (but rooted) Android 4.2.2. I have the lock screen set with a pattern unlock. I set a 3 minute delay on the unlock (i.e. it won't ask me to unlock via the pattern until 3 minutes have passed since the screen turned off). However, when I turn the screen on during the 3 min period, I get a different unlock screen that just asks for a swipe to unlock. What I want is: if past the 3 min period, it should go to the pattern unlock, but if within the 3 min period, it should just open back up to the last screen I was looking at.
I previously used CM9 and it behaved as desired. Does anyone know how I can achieve the same thing using the stock rom?
Thanks for all your help.

Vibrant T959 long booting time and security settings

Hi,
I was facing an issue with the Samsung Vibrant T959. It use to take @ 15 to 20 min for booting.
I tried different things but no luck. Today I found the solution / reason for the long boot time.
On my phone Screen lock PIN and SIM Lock PIN both are configured and while booting it use to vibrate and take long time.
I have disabled both the PIN check and phone reboot in just 1-2 min.
I tried to set only Screen Lock PIN and still is was booting in 1-2 min, then I tried only SIM lock PIN and it was booting in 1-2 min.
But if I enable both SIM Lock PIN and Screen lock PIN then it takes @ 15-20 min to
boot.
Have anyone faced this kind of problem?
Yes. It's a glitch in the stock vibrant firmware.

[Q] Security->"Automatically Lock" timeout in CM10

I just installed a CM10 rom and I LOVE IT.. however I have one big issue that is hard to deal with. An app I have (lotus traveler) requires device administrator access, and it imposes a policy which says I have to have a password lock. In addition, I am allowed to have a lock timeout of at most 30 minutes before the password comes into effect.
On GB, ICS any phone this has always worked great. I set the timeout to 30 minutes. If I lock the screen, I just swipe to unlock. After the 30 minutes of being locked, a password must be entered to get past the lock screen.
On this ROM (and I have read all the others on JB?) there is no way to have a lock screen w/o a password. I think I can live with this. But I would really like to be able to set "lock timeout" to the 30 minute max policy provided by the software I installed.
Does anyone know what to hack & where to extend this to 30 minutes? I am rooted and unlocked of course. I have seen other JB phones (i.e samsung) showing screenshots with times up to 30 minutes.
Edit: should mention the MAX today is only 10 minutes. Also "lock delay" in the app store doesn't help if you have an app requiring password lock all the time.
It hasn't changed, you can still set the delay. Most ROMs it should be menu >Settings >Lockscreen >security, it something similar.

Using beanstalk here and 30 mins is the max option

Dang! I wish I knew what to change in my rom to get that enabled (mine just goes from 30 seconds -> 10 minutes). I'm just using that "4th night nightlies" ROM "recovery-ra-vigor-3.16-gnm.img.zip".
demmo86rt -- Yeah I have the setting but it maxes out at 10 minutes. And when I do use it, it isn't like ICS/GB was... Before it used to be:
1) Using phone
2) screen goes off
3) Before the timeout, push unlock button
4) Screen comes on, lockscreen, swipe ring and unlock and go
5) If you wait till after the timeout, push unlock button, you must enter the PW first on the on screen keyboard
---- With JB ----
1) Using phone
2) Screen goes off
3) Before the timeout, push unlock button
4) Comes up to home screen. No lock screen protection
5) If you wait till after the timeout, push unlock button, you enter the PW ON the lockscreen and that clears it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm fine either way but I would really like the timeout to be 30 instead of 10 minutes

Yeah, that's how mine is on LiquidSmooth (with all the options up to 30 min). I normally don't use lockscreen security, but I enabled it after reading this post to see how it worked. I do like the delay, but would rather have the regular swipe to unlock before the timeout. The main reason I don't use the security is because it irritates me to always put in the stupid pattern, but I don't like it waking straight to the homescreen, too much chance of something opening up in my pocket.

Maybe I should go post this back in the forum thread for the ROM I installed.. I bet it's something that can be changed.
Yeah the "waking up straight to homescreen" is a new thing I found in JB.. It never worked like this before. I think the issue is android developers don't typically have to deal with the corporate security requirements.. Thats the only reason I have to have a password, it is required by the application that is installed.
SOLVED!

Not sure if you found a solution, but I had the exact same problem.... until I found this post on another site. (Updated) - It did NOT work for me in the end. Seems to work for Moto users, but not for various Samsung users (I'm on Cyanogenmod 10.2, but tried the other versions to no avail).
Cheers
This behavior is affected by two different settings:
<Menu> -> System Settings -> Security ->Automatically Lock
<Menu> -> System Settings -> Display -> Sleep.
The administrator policy requires a 30-minute maximum timeout for the combination of both the Display Sleep and Automatically Lock. If you see "Immediately" as the only option for Automatically Lock then your Display Sleep timer is set to 30 and won't allow any time left for automatic lock.

[Q] Lock the phone right away when using lock delay

Hi,
On my LG Nexus 5, I have setup a delay for the lockscreen to 2 minutes after the phone is not in use. This is also true for when I turn off the screen with the power button (the phone will only lock 2 minutes later). I love this feature as I don't have to input my password too often when, for example, I turn the screen off and realize I forgot to check something. I just press the power button again and the phone is unlocked (if done within 2 minutes).
My questions is how can I lock my phone immediately without changing the 2-minute setting? In some cases, I would like the phone to lock immediately. Does anyone know how to do this without installing some new app on my phone? And if this is not possible, can you recommend an app that would allow me to lock my phone right away (for example when I tap an icon or something)?
Thanks!

[Q] Dual Screen Lock option.

I've have the S2, the Note 2, the Note 10.1 2014, AT&T Note 3, Sprint Note 3, and I can't seem to do this with any device except the AT&T note 3. I tried to repeat it with my wife's Sprint Note 3 and I can not do it.
Basically under Device>Lock Screen, I can choose Swipe, Signature, Pattern, PIN, Password, None. If I choose Pattern, PIN, or Password, and set Secured lock time to say 30 minutes. Now if I press the power button to turn off the display, I can turn the display back on with the power or home button and as long as it is done within 30 minutes, I will not be greeted with a Pattern, PIN, or Password. BUT I am not greeted with an unlock screen either! I am greeted with a slide to unlock! This is very useful since I don't have to worry about accidentally use of the touch screen and the phone will only be Password, Pin, or Pattern lock only after 30 minutes of inactivity.
If I try this with any other Android device, I am greeted with a totally unlock screen. Which mean apps can be accidentally launch while in my pant pocket. I thought it was really weird but smart to implement it this way on the AT&T note 3. You have the benefit of a secured lock screen, but only after the set time, and you still maintain the easy to use slide to unlock option that prevents accidental touch screen use.

SM-A310F Lockscreen Problem

Hey everyone,
I'm having a weird issue with my Samsung Galaxy A3 2016 (Android 7.0, rooted with SuperSU). When i set a screen lock (pattern, pincode or password), I get a delay on my lockscreen. If I draw my pattern, it gets stuck for a couple of seconds and then it unlocks. Same with pincode or password; if I put in my pincode/password and click ok, it also gets stuck and unlocks a little later. Sometimes it gets stuck for so long that my phone locks automatically, it's really frustrating. When you go to settings and change the screen lock, you have to give your current screen lock. It also gets stuck on that when I put in my current pattern/pincode/password. But when I choose a swipe lock, it doesn't have this problem. Maybe it has to do with the authentication of the pattern/pincode/password? I have no idea. Can someone help me out?
Best regards
