Default Lock

I really like the default lock and the fact that you must enter a PIN number in. But is there anyway to change the setting so that it either unlocks with an incoming phone call or at least brings dialer/phone screen to the front of the lock? thanks in advance for any help!

[Q] unlocked lock in hc3.2 stock rom. what does it mean?

hello all.
My xoom 3.2 on opening screen shows an unlocked lock instead of locked lock. I heard unlocked lock means something special but not sure about the myth. So what does it mean?
Thanks

Umm... I'm not sure I get it. I want to help, but... not sure what I read just now.
A locked lock and an unlocked lock on opening screen? It means that the lockscreen is either password protected or is open and without a password protection. Set up a password of some sort if you want a locked lock I guess, maybe... I'm lost...
Details, details, details.

Sim locked phone (not network!)

Hi.
My 13 year old son has my old galaxy spica, I can't remember which ROM is on it, but it does have CM 2.5.1.0 recovery.
He's currently in a lot of trouble, and I'm hoping the contents of his phone (texts) might shed some extra light on the situation, but it's currently locked, and he's being unhelpful, I believe with a SIM card lock asking for a PIN rather than an unlock pattern.
I was hoping repeated wrong guesses would force PUK lock, then I'd contact the network for a key (phone is in my name, I pay the bill) but I just get a 30 second delay after 5 attempts.
So, the obvious question, how do I bypass the lock, is it even possible without wiping the data on the phone?
Alternatively, can I just access the data, as I do have recovery on the device?
Thanks
edit - taking the SIM out still has the phone showing the "Enter Password to Unlock" screen

I think there's no way around that...the only way I know how to take the screen lock off is to do a hard reset but then everything off the phone will be gone...I dont think you can get around the screen lock AND keep the contents in tact, but I could be wrong...

Thanks - his brother just gave me the code
I suppose the follow on question - any way to lock someone out of the settings menu?
edit - solved -app lock (app)

[Q] How to lock the Screen lock setting with another password?

How to lock the lock screen settings , because pattern unlock can be changed without pin
I just want to prevent troller friends from changing my screen lock
sorry my english

Simple
Hello,
Several solutions:
1) Always keep phone yourself, do not give it to friends.
2) Set long number as screenlock, so no one will remember it when you unlock phone.
3) Learn to be assertive to your friends or ...change friends.
Maybe it'll help...

Whats the point of Smart Notifications with Face Unlock?

I like the idea of the new Smart Notifications feature that prevent viewing of notifications on the lock screen unless your face recognized. However, whats the point if the phone unlocks immediately anyway? Is there a way to only use facial recognition for Smart Notifications only and not unlock?

The way that worked for me is going under Face Unlock settings and changing "Direct Unlock" to "Swipe to Unlock". Now the phone reveals the "contents hidden" notifications without unlocking.
Hope that helps!

LOL, when I got the update, I tried to register the face unlock. The only way I could get it to work, even without the reflections, is to take my eyeglasses off. Since I'm blind as a bat without them, I turned that "feature" off. I wouldn't use it anyway, I prefer the fingerprint sensor.
