I use location smart lock. And have allowed access.

It is really annoying to use vpn in ics because of the password protection lock so is there a way to use swipe lock while vpn services active??

You don't necessarily need to use a password. I use a vpn with just pattern unlock set.
However, I believe that pattern unlock is the minimum level of security required for vpn access.

Yes i know but i dont want any kind of lock besides the swipe lock.

Fix to remove pattern/pin/password requirement for VPN
Hey,
theres a bit of a ghetto work around that i found for this annoying requirement on the new galaxy s 3.
First set up your VPN and the required pattern lock. Then you log in to samsungdive.com and press unlock my screen. This will trick the phone to not use the pattern unlock.
Just set your pattern lock to be a straight line from left to right (or right to left) on the bottom-most line.
That's very similar to a swipe lock.

Thats great !!! It's work.
No more password (of any kind) lock for the screen in order to use VPN acces!!
Thanks
Update:
Unfortunately, afther a reboot, there is no way to acces to VPN without setting a pass lock. Any idea how to permanently acces to VPN without the lock screen pass lock?
how about this? "VpnROOT - PPTP - Manager"

I have stock rom 4.1.2 (Spain release) on Samsung Galaxy S2. Do this:
- set VPN connection regulary
- set lock pattern
- set backup PIN
- turn off display to lock phone
- press HOME button (phone will ask for pattern now)
- enter WRONG pattern five times
- phone will ask for backup PIN code
- enter CORRECT backup PIN code
...and no more password protection lock when use VPN
:laugh:

Hi All,
I used Unlock With WiFi for quite some time so I wouldn't need to remove the lock screen when I'm at home, but I use the patern lock and this no longer works. The Dev tells me it is due to a restriction on the newer versions of Android (I'm currently on 4.1.1). Now I'm not calling the dev a liar, or suggesting he doesn't know what he is on about, but knowing how ingenious some people are here, I thought somebody may have worked out a way around it.
Anyideas on how to automatically have no lock on at home (and at my Mum's, and at the other-half's place), but on the rest of the time? Note I really want to keep the patern lock.
-S
Anybody?

Can anyone confirm that smart lock is working on there device? Have been trying to use it for a while now with very little luck. On body detection works but only within a matter of seconds, trusted places doesn't work at all and i can't unlock my phone with okay Google ( but i have read some devices don't support this feature). Just after some reference points, they could be all the same.
Works fine for me. In stock as for custom ROM. I don't use on body detection but location works fine. Make sure you have enabled great accuracy for location services.
It works fine on my p9000, but I am on Eragon ROM .. Smart lock works as it should and I can use the command ok google to unlock.
However having tried other ROMs I know that what options appear in Security >> Smart Lock vary - as an example when I tried Lineage ROM I couldn't unlock device with my voice, nor could I use voice commands from any screen. Unfortunately I haven't really sued Stock for a little while so I am unsure what actual options are available for the Stock ROM. I would of assumed though the standard Smart Lock options of On Body Detection / Trusted Places / Trusted Devices should be standard (I have 2 other options Trusted face & trusted voice on Eragon)
Going on a long shot, i run a launcher so I'm going to run without for a day or two and see how it works out. Wouldn't have thought it would make a difference but worth a try.

Think I nailed it, i use a gesture to lock my screen on Nova launcher. When i lock with the power button it's fine but when i use a gesture smart lock doesn't work, just incase anyone else ever has a similar problem.
Hi all
Question about unlocking the Le max 2.
Every time I unlock with the fingerprint sensor, it unlocks to the recently used page.
This is standard phone using android 6.0.1 eui 5.8.019S
This only seems to happen when using other launchers such as Nova and Evie. Doesn't seem to do it with the standard eui
Any ideas? Bugging the crap out of me!
Fixed. Not sure how but it's fixed. I compared my settings to my partner's phone, changed a few to match and been fine since. Wish I knew what it was!
The question is probably clear from the title but I would like to explain.
What and why I want
I forget my mobile most of the time at my home when I go outside, but surely take my PC. So I take remote control of my mobile (Android 11) from my PC using AnyDesk Software. Considering nobody else at home, so I have no problem if the phone display is on at my home.
What I did already
Honestly I already achieved this in my old mobile (Android 10) but as I upgraded my mobile to (Android 11), I am facing difficulties. Wisely using the settings of AnyDesk I could access, unlock, and use mobile happily in Android 10.
The problem
Now in my new mobile I can access and use the remote control just the way I did to my old mobile but to control and see the screen, I have unlock the mobile manually first (which I cannot) (PFA) henceforth, unable to control it (within the lock screen).
My Question
I understand that the feature to disable the lock screen is for security purpose but it also restricts the benefits. Is there anyway I can achieve the same as Android 10 in Android 11? or Is it possible to give advanced permission by any way?
Other important details
Permissions of AnyDesk: Device Admin, Display over other apps, and all default permissions allowed
Phone Name (New): Samsung A03s
Phone Name (Old): Moto E4
Note: Also I have disabled the screen casting warning using Shizuku, AppOps using adb.

I too was searching for a fix for this same problem, but, an alternative method I currently use (only for unlocking) is using TeamViewer to unlock it.
I prefer anydesk over TeamViewer as it's faster.
TeamViewer is able to access your lock screen and from there you can unlock it and then get back to anydesk.
It's a roundabout method, but, I hope there will soon be a better fix.
You can also set up smart lock to keep your device unlocked when at home (this is the best option)
