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)

If I take the SIM out, the device will boot and give me access to contents, (obviously, phone is off).
BUT if SIM is in, I cannot get past the pin input screen, and this is exactly what I want to do.
I want to be able to give the device to my son to i.e. read a pdf, but I do not want him to be making / answering calls on my SIM.
Sure, I can take it out, but do not want to if I do not have to. (I might lose it too!)
In other words, if no pin is entered, one must be able to use all but the phone on the device.
After all, the lock is for the SIM, not the device!

Is your device rooted? Not 100% sure if this will work but it's worth a try, I would recommend opening your build.prop and looking for the line that reads:
Code:
keyguard.no_require_sim=false
And changing that to:
Code:
keyguard.no_require_sim=true
Another option would be to use a parental controls app such as Smart AppLock to password protect the phone app, messaging, etc. preventing your son from having acess to these in the event that he navigates away from the pdf he was reading.

I can disable SIM pin request by going into settings BUT that is not the issue. If I do that, then the phone will be available.
I want the device to boot with the phone unavailable since no pin is entered.
REMEMBER WE ARE TALKING ABOUT SIM LOCK PIN, NOT SCREEN LOCK PIN.

There is another problem with this solution:
I have TWIN SIMS (2 sims with the same number); however, only one is allowed access to network. If the devices that the sims are installed are both on, then none of the sims is allowed access to network. (The idea being, if you have 2 phones, you do not swap sim all the time).
So it is important that that sim is not activated by entering its pin.
In other words, we want device to go on in "airplane" mode.

If your device is not rooted then unfortunately my first suggestion will not work (Because editing system files such as the build.prop file requires root access), but to answer your question the build.prop file is a file that contains a list of default Android environmental properties and system properties that define a variety of aspects about a device. The edit I suggested refers to SIM lock and SIM status not screen pin lock. Another possible solution besides the parental controls app would be before you give your son the phone is toggle airplane mode and disable all connectivity.
SOLVED!
At the sim pin request screen, press and hold power button, enable "Airplane mode"
DONE.

Hi All,
I was wondering if someone could confirm what apps you can run while the phone is still password locked. someone confirmed it is possible to operate the camera. But I am hoping it is also possible to at least do some forms of quick note taking, possibly audio notes as well. Can these be added and operated from lock screen at all (create only, password to access existing etc.) ?
Work enforces a password lock policy and I find that often, I find the delay in having to unlock etc. just too inconvenient...
Thanks,
Zuber

I can't be the only one that locks the phone with a password or pattern surely ?
Hi guys, it's moomoomania here. I have a question whether or not it is possible to pair my HTC M9 with my Nexus 9 via bluetooth for smart lock purposes ONLY (just like if I was to have an android watch -which I don't- to bypass my lockscreen). I've looked a million places and I have yet found an answer to my question.
I don't wish to pair it so I can tether internet access to my tablet; I just want to pair my android tablet with my android phone so I don't have to wait for my phone to see my face or do my pattern code.
If anyone has any knowledge or have successfully done it, let me know and I'll give you a huge thumbs up with my butt. Thank you!
you just need to pair them via bluetooth then uncheck "internet access" in the little settings box you can open with the gear icon.

Yes but everytime I do that, I am not able to connect it together. When I go into the Smart Lock settings, and try to apply my Nexus 9 as a trusted device for my M9, it always says "not connected" (at the "Choose device" tab). Do you have this problem or have successfully connected your tablet with your phone without a hitch?
EDIT: If I click the little smart lock notification, it says "Add trusted device? Connect your M9 to keep your phone unlocked". There is only a cancel button.

actually I have the same problem. :') it's been a problem since I updated my phone to lollipop, it was fine before. I think it's probably an AOSP bug since nothing I've ever done has been able to fix it. I wish I had more to add, maybe someone else can chime in.
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.
I want to copy the system image and then examine it on my computer. I have windows 10 home and also Kali Linux but I am a beginner and learning it still.
I have been having strange stuff going on with all my electronics.... but my phone is my fix first. My Bluetooth head set has been connecting to devices with out me telling it to. my xbox is doing weird things and my laptop is hacked(confirmed) they are using registry keys to ignore user inputs, permissions locked to registry changes, and the list goes on.
Anyhow. I want to get my Samsung S7 system image, then change from Verizon rom to US cellular Rom 930F but I am confused to which version of odin I need and what other stuff I need to do to achieve my goal.

after flash, how would I set firewall to drop connections that do not fit rules, disable remote screen view, and need advice on securing Bluetooth pairing requests. Would be nice to disable infra red too.
Thanks in advance for your help
