I have the Bell S3 and android 4.0+ is suppose to be able to bypass the lock screen (pin, pattern etc) and go into the camera app so people can capture photos quickly without fiddling with passwords. I know my ICS hTC Raider did this so its funny that the S3 cannot.
Is this not the case with the S3? I tried the hold screen + rotate and it still asks me for my password which is useless because i could just drag the icon and enter my password.
Hello,
I used foxfi and it said I needed to set up a lock screen. I did however I don't want my lock screen anymore as I rarely use foxfi(didn't used to require the lock screen).
I went to settings, security, encryption level - my only 3 choices are pattern, pin and password - none is greyed out.

Turns out I had to force stop foxfi and clear credentials.
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.
I've got cyanogenmod 12.1 with android 5.1.2. Normally I use a PIN to unlock my phone but when I'm at home I'd like to just use my face. This doesn't work because I can't get the option for faceunlock.
In Settings -> Lock screen -> Smart lock, trusted faces is on
but in 'choose lock screen', it's not there
and 'Smart lock (Google)' is enabled
Questions:
How do I get faceunlock to work?
How can I use a PIN, except when I'm at home when I want to use faceunlock? I tried setting up trusted places but it didn't work.

Face unlock is a part of smart lock. Since it's not as secure as pin or password Face unlock (and other unlock methods like trusted place) should be used with a pin or password.
If face unlock is switched on under smart lock and configured. That's mean it's working. To confirm it's working lock with the power button and unlock. Then at the bottom instead of a padlock symbol you will see a small face icon. That means the camera is on and searching for your face.

Smart unlock methods stops working if u lock your phone using 3rd party apps. Instead of the lock button.

You're linked to instructions didn't work.
Link worked for me. As explained face lock is now an additional unlock method, you need set a primary one first (pin, pattern, password). Then you can select to use trusted face. I have a pattern lock but if the phone recognises my face when I wake it I can just slide to unlock without enter pattern as it recognises me.
is there an way to lock an phone with fingerprint unlock enabled from the lock screen?
i used to have a phone that had password to unlock but paired with an trusted device, and on the lock screen i could click the lock to require password to unlock. with my new phone with fingerprint cant see a way of doing this.
i have tasker but wont root phone as i will be using with android pay.
