Hi,
I have a Huawei Honor 7 (PLK-UL00), with current version being PLK-UL00675B160. I don't see a Screen Pinning function anywhere in settings.
Does any one else have the same problem
Thanks,
What do you mean exactly? The order of your homescreens?
No, Pin an application to the screen. So if I were to lend my phone to some one to say check map directions, I can pin Maps and then the guest can look at no other screen but Maps.
You may want to call it Application pinning, but Android mentioned it as Screen Pinning

Hi
I want to extend the timeout for security lock screen.
From 10 min to maybe 10 hours.
I use password on lockscreen and don't want to type in the password
many times a day.
I just try "Delayed lock" , but it don't work on my SGS 2 with android 2.3.5
Any other programs that can extend the timeout ??
Or can I do some change in a system file to extend it ?
I'm interested in this too. I am getting fed up with having to type a password after every time my screen switches off (which is currently set to 1min to save battery). Ideally I would like to have a setting for the screen to turn off and a separate setting to enforce the lock, e.g. screen turns off after 1min but does not lock until maybe 10mins (or what ever the user sets) later.
Super Cool !! I solved the problem myself today !!
Now screenlock is not get active, even with password enabled.
The solution on the Samsung Galaxy S II
Install app "SGS Secret Code"
Start the app and select "Power Button Settings"
Mark "Shutdown"
That's all.
Can you clarify what the app really did?
First the "SGS secret code" app doesn't exist. There is "SGS secret codes". Is that the app you used? This just provides short cuts to entering special codes via the dialler.
Have you permanently disabled the lock screen asking for a password / code? I don't understand how it works from your brief description.
Yes. it's "SGS secret codes"
It's disable the screenlock. The screen will never get lock. Even with password or pattern installed for the screenlock.
The screenlock will never get activ. If the screen are turn-off and you push the home
button, the screen just turn-on, with no asking for password or pattern.
Thanks for clarifying but maybe I'm missing something here.
So basically this circumvents the screen lock password / code. Why not just disable the screenlock password / code from the settings?
The point of having the password if for security so I'm not entirely comfortable with disabling it altogether. I just want the time-out for the actual password lock to be independently configurable from the screen time-out. So for example screen shuts off after one minute but the lock doesn't actually lock for another 10 mins.
I understand you asking about this.
The reason is that I use a program that requires is a screenlock with a minimum of 8 characters with both numbers and letters.
Every time I start this program, it go out and see if there is activated a screenlock
with 8 character, otherwise program does not start.
This way I keep the safety screenlock, but it will just never be activated.
OK I see. Unfortunately your solution doesn't help me. Oh well I'll keep looking...
Since the ICS update i am forced to have a lockscreen with pin or password when i want to configure a VPN connection. This is absurd and i want to have the option to have no lockscreen. In honeycomb this was not forced. Email is much more sensitive information but that requires no lock screen, so why does a VPN require one? How can i remove the lockscreen? No Lock does not work great, a click on an email notification still shows a lockscreen.
Any other apps that work great on the TF201 and ICS?
Same situation for me.
Yep, it's the same if you want to use Enterprise mode wifis with installed certificates.
Just use a lock gesture
Gesture is not an option. I use it with the dock all the time and if i use a gesture the keyboard wakeup is pretty much useless. I'd rather root and remove the lock completely then be forced to have a lock. On my phone it is not much of a problem because it will be used with a lock screen all the time. A simple gesture is not much different then standaard unlock. On the prime it is very anooying to have a laptop/netbook replacement that needs a gesture on the screen after a few minutes of idle.
Is there a guide on doing this once it is rooted? I hate being forced to have a lock screen because I want to VPN to my house and watch some tv shows...
Some peoples VPN's are important, high security things. Mine is not.
Would love to know if there's ever a solution for this, though my exchange provider just updated security requirements (it's scary that you have to give permission for full remote wipe), so it's probably moot anyway.
It seems there's gotta be a way around this with root though...?

Hy,
I wrote an application that can connect to a PPTP VPN Server
without having to use PIN or Pattern :
PPTP VPN Manager
VPN Widget does the job for me
Awesome didcv!
You know the setting under Developer options "Stay Awake"?
If you check that, of course you'll use more battery, but the screen never actually turns off while docked (unless you close it or hit the lock key/power button), it just cuts the backlight off and ridiculously dims the screen.
Hope this can help you:

This does it brilliantly:

Alternatively you can use SQLlite Editor as I did
Hello!
I have a very specific question and don't know where to start looking.
When i look permissions for a specific app, then there is sometimes something like this: disable your screen lock
Does this mean that the app can disable screen lock and activate itself through lock screen?
I think if your screen lock is pattern based then it won't come through and when it's swipe based then it will work.
I want one specific app to be able to prompt itself through pattern based screen lock.
if i would use CyanogenMod and someone would change something in the code then it would be doable?
Funny thing is, that in Samsungs official android 4.1 it worked that way (and was in their words "a bug").
it's not working in andoird 4.3 anymore: bug fixed i guess. but i loved that bug.
AFAIK, only camera is able to bypass pattern or password lock.

the app is Estonian mobile personal idententification tool called mobiil-id
you can legally identify yourself in banks that way
when my screen security if set for pattern and when i try to authenticate somewhere, pin query comes through screen lock and i enter pin and phone does not unlock itself at all and goes back to sleep.
but when security is set for pattern, then i must unlock screen manually to enter pin. i can hear beep sound though.
probably should try to find some cm programmer who knows if there is a way to manually make some exceptions.
there is a possibility to compile your own cm and then deploy it. if it were some minor change, then i would do it myself with some help.
i know it's kinda security breach, which i'm willing to take.
Hi, I've searched the forums but haven't found anything similar to my issue. We have a very non-popular android device at work..the Intermec CN51, running 4.2.2. This question would probably apply to any device though: is there any way to manipulate the api to disable Google now but keep the microphone function enabled? More detail: because these devices are government-specific, they are pretty locked down. However, certain screen swipes, such as swiping up on the lockscreen, causes the Google Now icon to appear instead of unlocking the screen. I was able to disable Google Now services to get rid of that function. This allows the end user to swipe up, down, whatever, and the lockscreen would unlock. However, this also disabled the microphone on the keyboard. Is there any code or configuration to prevent the microphone from disabling or not displaying? Thanks!
Hi all,
Any ideas where I can find a floating dock for Nokia 8? My primary purpose is to be able to avoid using the button on the side to turn the screen off/lock the device. There are several available on the Play Store however they do not offer the ability to turn the screen off individually. I have to enter the pin when I wake up the device?
Alternatively, any gesture app would work too...I coud doube tap anywhere on the homescreen to turn the screen off!
Thanks!

You can use Microsoft Launcher and set home button as turn off screen.
If you don't mind widgets, Screen Lock by Prahallad works. No problem with fingerprint/PIN (have to enable support in settings). Doesn't fully lock immediately; screen blanks then in few seconds device enters actual locked state.

yeah well, then again, its a whole launcher....I like my pixel launcher as is....just need a small app for the dock...not looking to install an entire launcher for that purpose. But thanks man!
P.s. I did install it and check it out....however, it locks the device rather than turns the screen off....so back to square one
