Hello, All:
Firstable, I'd like to say hello and introduce myself as new member of this community. Turns out I have an Xperia P with Android 4.1.2 and i've been using the lock pattern feature for a while... Today I wanted to disable it but it seems like I can't do that, the "None" option is disabled and I can't disable it. Do you know why does this happen? (See attached screenshot)
I'll be waiting for your answers.
SOLVED: Deleted credentials stored in the phone and the options came back alive.
Thanks anyway! I hope this helps other persons with the same issue.

Hi there,
I was wondering If anyone out there knows of an apps to locks the phone. Im new on this and what I'm looking for is something to replace the unlock swipe screen that came with the phone. I want something like a numeric keypad as a lock / unlock application.

thanks
Do you want a different option for a pattern lock?
I searched and didn't find anything. My brother has a numeric lock for his Nexus, but that's a CM feature.
I don't think they're out yet. If you find one in the market chances they won't work because of TouchWiz and you would have to be rooted.
Thanks for your quick response to my question.I am kind of new on this and yes what I want is a numeric keypad instead of a pattern.
once again thank you !!
Hello,
This is regarding stock SGS2 i9100 ROMS: both GB & ICS
I'm have being searching for this since ICS went out to our magnificent SGS2 i9100, but haven't had any luck to find something about this problem, which I could call it a ICS bug.
This is what happens, when you set, under settings, the security lock screen to be unlocked with a password, in the previous GB 2.3.?, that we used to have in our beloved phone, it was amazing, you got something like a transparent keyboard which allowed the whole wallpaper to be seen beneath. But, in this ICS when you select the lock screen to be unlocked with a password, under security, when unlocking the phone you get an annoying wallpaper re-sizing and after the PW have been introduced the first screen you get of the home screen is also re-sized. I'll attach some pics to explain better the situation and myself.
Is there any way that we can have the old GB transparent unlock keyboard to insert the password in ICS?
I would really appreciate your advices.
Anyone have an idea about this...? Please
I've no idea how you did that. When I lock my phone I see a different background which is not my home screen background. What settings do I have to change?

hard format...
Hi. When I received the phone, out of the box security was not enabled and I was able to unlock the screen only by sliding the pad lock UP on the lock screen.
This worked well for me as I could read all notifications while locked, without unlocking the phone.
I then tried out the other security methods including Pattern. Didn't like it and wanted to go back to slide to unlock.
Under Security there is not a Slide to Unlock option.
Now, if I leave it as No Security, anything unlocks the screen, even a tap.
How do I get the original pad lock Slide to Unlock feature back?
A hard reset?
Sorry if this has been answered before, I did a quick search and didn't find a thread.
Thanks.
Set it to wallpaper lockscreen. Personally I use productivity so my messages go on lockscreen
Btw option is under settings / personalization / lockscreen type

Same Issue
Hello I am currently having the same issue with my lock screen. I hadn't even realized that switching the lock screen type was the reason, but it makes sense. Did you find a way to fix it? The above poster's method did not work for me.
Thanks for putting this problem in words!
So it looks like this is an issue that happens whenever you have an accessibility setting enabled as described here. This goes for any accessibility settings... Can someone confirm if this still happens with other Sense ROMs or if this only happens with stock?

Hello,
I am a little confused, I showed to a friend of mine the profiles of Lollipop 5.0 and switched to an invited session. It triggered the Swiping Lockscreen (I had none before).
But now that I have switched back to my account, the option for having no lockscreen is not there anymore. I mean I do have the Swipe, the password, the PIN and the scheme way to unlock, but the option with no lockscreen is nowhere to be found !
Does anyone have a clue ? I rebooted (even with the Power + Vol+) and it didn't show up ...
Thank you
Sorry for my bad english, I'm french ˆˆ'

Try going to Settings > Security and then selecting Clear Credentials. Then you should be able be select no lockscreen again.

Thanks for the answer (I'm a bit late sorry) but your solution was the good one !
Hi guys,
I'm using the smart lock/unlock feature on a Android 6 phone. But I can only select 30mins for the unlock-state, and smart unlock is very unrelyable.
My problem is that for using GooglePay, I have to set a lockscreen. But throughout the day I'd prefer having the screen always unlocked. Only in case I active NFC, I want the lockscreen to be active.
So maybe there is a way I could change the 'lock_screen_lock_after_timeout' settings to eg a couple of days (or even endless)?
Thanks
I faced the exact same issue.
I ended up following your suggestion and setting lock_screen_lock_after_timeout to several days.
It works, however the screen doesn't lock at all, which means when you press the power button you you will get straight to the launcher or whatever app was launched. Some people will be OK with it, but personnally I miss the "swipe to unlock" feature.
edit: I just noticed you are on Android 6. In that case, you could use Xposed in conbination with the lockscreen disabler module. It will let you disable the lock screen and trick Google pay into thinking it is enabled. It used to work great on my previous phone. Sadly, Xposed trips Safetynet so Google Pay will most likely refuse to work.
Can I use Xposed without root? Cause I don't want to root my phone just for that feature.
How did you set the property? Do you use any app?
The problem is, I know the property to be set, but I don't know how to achieve that
