How to disable lock screen? - LG G5 Questions & Answers

I have an H850 running Android 6.0.1. I have Screen Lock set to "None (no lock screen)" in the Lock Screen settings, but whenever the display has been off for a couple of minutes I have to swipe away a lock screen. How can I disable it?

I've been using THIS app for years now and it does what you want (on the wifi networks you added). I'm not sure which of the versions in that thread I'm using (Universal or regular) though, it's been installed for almost 2 years :laugh:
Just try them if you want :good:

Thanks for the recommendation. I've just installed the app and set it up with my wifi network and smartwatch as trusted devices, but I still get the lock screen after a couple of minutes :0(

Hmm, maybe try the other version? I know that one didn't work for me and the other one did, but I don't remember which one was what.

I just tried the Beta and that didn't work either. The Play Store version doesn't seem to be available in my country (UK)

Weird, the Beta seems to be the one that works for me, I just checked (see screenshot).
Then I can't help, sorry - I hope you find a solution :fingers-crossed:

I'm using fingerprint security (with a pattern also defined as a backup) - are you using any sort of screen unlock security?

Ah - no I'm not, just Swipe ... maybe that's why

I've also noticed that my lock screen appears when I close an app to return to my launcher (i.e. not just when the screen is turned off) - which is very annoying.

[Q] Automatically Enable/Disable Mobile Data

I've done a lot of searching and have come up a bit fruitless on this. I was using JuiceDefender for a little before it just decided to not work anymore(?), but I really liked having my 4G disabled when the phone was in stand by with the lock screen and turning back on upon unlock. Just wanted to see if anyone knew an app that did this specifically. I'm using Apn4Apps right now, but it's just not quite the same.
I'm developer of Apn4Apps.
There is no sense to enable 4G if you open your screen to use your notepad.
Apn4Apps enables the mobile data for your selected applications.
Why would you need to enable 4G when the screen is on?

I installed this app and it it is exactly for my requirement. But for some reason the data connection goes off almost immediately as it turns on after a selected app is open. I'm on ICS.
Also, what is the timeout?
Thanks

I have some queries to understand the issue.
What's your phone brand and model?
What's your exact ICS version?
Is the rom stock version or not ?
The timeout value defines the timeout value for disabling the mobile data (3G/4G) when the screen goes off.
As an example if your screen has a value of 1 minute timeout value and APN4Apps has a timeout value of 10 sec then your mobile data will go off after 1 minute + 10 secs if you dont touch your phone.
Hi
this looks like a great idea, but it's not working 100% on my phone, so here's some feedback:
Galaxy S2 on the latest CM9 nightly. It only turns on data for your own app and the google play store, no other programs work, and it never turns off data on its own. Some apps, like Rainy Days, make your app crash.

I've updated Apn4Apps. It includes ICS fix.
Please check it out on https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tr.caglar.android.apn4apps and send me your comments for CM9
I've updated Apn4Apps to 1.0.6 with deep sleep fix.

Screen Unlocking in Pocket

Just recently my phone has started to unlock in my pocket and when I pull it out there are tons of programs open. I'm running stock.314 rooted but been rooted for couple of months now with no issues.
Check if you have accidentally enabled gloves mode. Settings - screen - enable gloves mode.
Unchecked it.

That was one of the first things I checked lol. It's not enabled
Then maybe you have a rogue app. That enables your screen. Then it's easy for it to get unlocked. Just saying

Yes I've been disabling apps and testing. Still no culprit.
Maybe you have the double tap to unlock feature on and turning on while walking??
Or the dedicated camera button. I've had that happen to me a couple times where I pull out my phone and the camera app is launched.

Do you have any applications that wake your phone when getting notifications? Try disabling all your data and see if it still happens. And for a temporary fix, maybe put a PIN so you're phone doesn't just unlock
Yes pin or may be a pattern?

Smart Lock Trusted Locations does not work

Trusted Location not working is a common problem with various devices, but so far I never encountered any issues on my S8. However, with the S9+ I cannot get it to work. Adding your current location still leaves the phone locked. I rebooted, deleted, edited and added new locations, with no success. Anyone experienced similar issues?
It was working on my S8+ but a few weeks ago became very inconsistent. S9+ is no different. I suspect its Google related.
For some reason it started working now. Did not do anything. Seems to be a sporadic service issue, like you said.
It has stopped working for me completely in my S8 running Oreo.
Just wondering if there are any new devopments on this. None of the so-called "solutions" I have found on the internet (erasing cache etc.) work. Has everybody just given up? S8 running oreo here.
To me it works sometime and sometimes it doesnt. I have tried to do it in so many differenr way but still luck. Just works when it wants to. Funny part is with my pixel 2 xl it worked 100% of the time on oreo 8.1 so it most be something withing samsung tweaks.
People have been complaining about this for quite a while now...too bad it can't just work reliably.
By chance, do you use any type of managed email service?
For example, I have a work provided Microsoft Office 365 account. Configuration of the account on the phone requires the application to have device admin privileges and one of the permissions disabled the option of Smart Lock, which infuriates me but I understand.
It's worth checking the make sure nothing that has device admin privs is blocking that feature.
I had the same problem with my S8+. Then I jumped to the Note8, and it worked perfectly (every single time, without exception).
Now, with my S9+, it's useless. It has never worked. Not once. Pretty damn ridiculous.
On Note8 with Oreo it didn't work. Now I'm on S9+ and I'm not sure because bluetooth works well. I tried to turning BT off and the phone staid unlocked. So who knows...
I did have to remove and re-add my home address in the Smart Lock app, but after doing so it does unlock using the location now.
Restarted the phone to confirm it "sticks" and it does. Of course, the first unlock after a restart is always going to want security, but after that it is working as expected.

i find if I move around between my trusted locations, it'll work. But if I stay in one place for more than a few hours, it'll stop auto-unlocking.

So far so good. I've been home for a few hours and Smart Lock is working well on both my s9 and s9+. Had my s9 with me all day and no restarts.
I should add that I don't keep my phones on High Accuracy, keep them on Battery Saver. One thing I did when I reset my home address was I used the Add a Place and used the Lat. and Long the phone had me at. It was close to my address but it placed me closer to my neighbor. Don't know if this is what helped make Smart Lock stick...

None of that works for me. If I reboot, it'll work for a bit, but then eventually stop working again.
It doesn't work for me neither

Lots of activity over in the 3 XL forums. I wonder if the Q build will fix the screen flash with AOD? Also I have 4 Pixel 3s and if I go to the beta page there is no way to determine which is mine and which is someone else's. Any help with that?

Probably best to just manually flash the factory image in fastboot if you cannot tell which device is which.
If you've enabled navigation buttons, it appears that the task switching button no longer functions. Very annoying.
Is the Q beta 1 is suitable for daily usage?
Working fine so far, Installed OTA through the Beta Programm and did a factory reset.

I just went to q (Via the beta program) Without a wipe from the latest PIE release and am having no issues thus far.

To manually disable and enable dark mode.
Disable "adb shell settings put secure ui_night_mode 1"
Enable "adb shell settings put secure ui_night_mode 2"
If the above does not work to disable try this "adb shell settings put secure ui_night_mode"
gmail is working fine here. So far i have not one single Problem. Imo the whole system is faster the finger unlock is faster and the battery drain is better than on pie. I like it very much at the moment.

eSim is having issues, banking apps are not working, things like that are popping up. There are definitely some major issues but it's only a 1st run. Let's see what gets fixed on DP2.

Everythings is OK.
Has anybody succeeded with dual sim dual standby? I have airtel[India] as my esim and an other sim in physical sim tray but so far i can only toggle between two, I couldnt find anything to get both sims connected to cell towers at the same time.

How are you toggling between the two? If neither one is on a call can each receive a call? Does the eSim manager menu look different?

In network & internet>mobile network> carrier you can switch between esim & simcard. When I meant toggle only one sim is in standby. No nothing different in esim manager.

This is all ok as its beta but i cant run this as a daily driver

Question Smart Locks Stops Working

I have Smart Lock set to auto unlock when my watch is paired via Bluetooth. After a few hours I've noticed that it stops working and all the options under Smart Lock are missing.
If I reboot, everything works fine again for another few hours and then the same thing happens again.
Any ideas?
/Edit: Found this: https://support.google.com/pixelpho...-is-not-working-after-the-recent-update?hl=en
Can't say for sure but the problem seems to have gone away with April update from Samsung. Previous to this update I was experiencing the same thing. I would go into security settings/other/trust agents and toggle smart lock off then on again and it would work basically the rest of the day. Updated to Samsung April software and it hasn't happened yet (today).

It appears to be a Google issue, so hopefully it gets worked out soon. I really only pay attention to it at work when my Buds are connected, but I'm pretty sure It was only happening after March Google Services update and before April Samsung update.

On my error report to Samsung (Members app) I received a reaction that
- multiple reports have been made
- Smart Lock is a Google application
- They reported the issue to Google
- Apparently it was/is a flag error in a Google server
- it should be good now after a restart.
I have the same issue.
