I have a Huawei KOB-L09 tablet and I want to disable the lock screen. No swipe to unlock or anything like that. It seems that Huawei disabled that setting and there is no any fix for that. Is there a ADB command to disable the lock screen/swipe to unlock? "No lock"-app kinda works but tablet power saving always closes that.

Hi all,
Does anyone know if there is a way to automatically switch between pattern and slide to unlock based on location? I know there are automation apps out there, such as tasker and setting profiles. I tried the LITE version of setting profiles and it does have an option to disable the lock screen completely, but not to switch between pattern and slide lock screens. I'd like to have a slide to unlock while at home, but have it change to a more secure pattern unlock when I leave home.
My guess is that this would be difficult because whenever you manually change between slide to unlock and pattern it asks you for your pattern, i.e. it doesn't seem to store your pattern if you ever disable it. I haven't tried tasker because it doesn't have a free demo version, but I would assume that if tasker (or another automation app) does have this ability, it would have to somehow store your pattern so that it can re-implement it, making it possibly insecure?
I'm not sure if there is a custom ROM that will do this. I'm currently running 4.0.4 plain vanilla rooted and unlocked on Verizon LTE Gnex.
Thanks!
In case anyone else was wondering about this, I found a way to do this:
You can make this work using tasker (paid app) in combination with an app called secure settings in the market (free). you need busybox installed, it will check. works perfectly, i have tasker automatically switch pattern lock off when i'm at home (based on cell towers) and automatically turn it back on when i leave home!
nice
I see that this thread has been dead for a little while, but I found it through a Google search since I'm looking for a non-root alternative to Secure Settings on my new, non-rooted phone. I'm currently using Llama, which is a free, location-aware automation app in place of Tasker until I root my new phone. Llama works with Secure Settings, but I can't try the pattern unlock switch since it requires root.
I can confirm that Tasker will switch from pattern unlock to swipe unlock automatically with Secure Settings. I set pattern lock as the default, and had Tasker switch to the swipe unlock if I was connected to any Wi-Fi network, but you could specify which network if you wanted to. In this case, Llama might work better if ask you want to do is automate based on location. Llama has triggers other than location, but it's primary focus is location based triggers.
Just an addendum to this, but when you disable pattern lock, the phone will revert to whatever the last lock method was. If it was "None" the phone will turn straight onto the homescreen. If it was "Slide" you'll see the side to unlock keyguard.
If you want to change this, go into Settings > Security > Screen lock > Slide then repeat but choose Settings > Security > Screen lock > Pattern. This effectively sets the 2 lock types the phone will toggle between.

I want tasker to turn my screen on and unlock the screen so I'll go directly to the homescreen. I don't use a PIN or Pattern lock.
With secure settings I'm able to turn on the screen and disable the keyguard, at which point you already are at the homescreen. However the problems start when enabling the keyguard again (because when I don't, it will never have a lockscreen).
When I let tasker re-enable the keyguard it automatically goes to the lockscreen again, so it's useless.
Does anybody know a workaround?
Thanks!
I recently downloaded Dodol Locker on my phone purely because it was too much effort typing in my pin and pressing enter, however when my device unlocks, the sony launcher asks me to swipe to unlock my device. I have looked in the settings and there are no other options than swipe unlock, bluetooth unlock, face unlock, pin, password and pattern. Does anyone know how to disable the swipe lock?
Settings > Security > screen lock > none
Hello,
I have trouble with control center. I have installed "Where's My droid" premium and "Smart lockscreen protector" apps. It's all great, but now there is another problem. When you lock your screen, you can still swipe down control center with all those (Wi-fi, Brightness, Auto rotate, bluetooth, Mobile data) options. So basicly, it means that phone thief can easily turn off Mobile data and I woun't find my phone. Meybe there is some solutions how to turn it off or something?

If you set a secure lockscreen, this should not be an issue.

I didn't quir understand you.. How can i set secure lockscreen?
Set the lockscreen with either a passcode, pattern lock, PIN code, face unlock, etc. Most phones have the settings in the Settings app under its own Lockscreen section or in the Security section.

I understand that, but thats not the case.. I have already lock screen with password. Thief cant get to my phone unless he enters right passcode to unlock phone/screen. I'm talking about the command central. Anyone can swipe down the screen from above and turn off the mobile data, wifi, etc. I have checked all lock screen options, but haven't figured ir out. For example here is article about iOs, but no androids. I can't post link, but you can type in google "how to turn off command center on lockscreen" and open 3rd website.
Sorry, should have tested that before I suggested. I could have sworn it used to be that way, but never use passwords so not entirely sure. Only thing I can think of to resolve would be a 3rd party lockscreen that has that option.
Is this issue was not resolved since 2015? I have exact same problem. I have face ID and fingerprint access controll, but still can swipe down with lock on and disable wifi, bluetooth and data. I Noticed this problem on MIUI 11, but still is a thing on MIUI 12 on Xiaomi Mi 9 SE
The phone's display wakes up whenever there's vibrations on the table.
I have already disabled "lift to check phone" but it didn't seem to help.
To troubleshoot I've also tried disabling "Tap to check phone" and "Wake screen for notifications" but it still seem to wake when there's motion.
Anyone know what other setting is there that can cause this or it is a persistent feature of the phone?

It's likely due to having fingerprint unlock set up. It appears to be a feature making it quicker to unlock when you touch your phone. 2 workarounds:
1. Delete your fingerprint(s) and use another unlock method, or
2. Use this adb command: adb shell settings put secure doze_quick_pickup_gesture 0
