hi guys, can i just remove the encryption screen?
as my company is using to exchange service for the e-mail send and receive,
and the policy require us to input pin code to reactive the machine when it was sleep and booting, as a rusult, the passcode enter screen had replace the 2nd and 3rd boot screen, i really hope i can turn it back to the normal mode, becuz i had install a boot screen shot pack and that is really cool, so i ebter the win-seting-lock page and wanted to remove the pin seting, but the nothing i can do becuz all the seting here had lock down, no customize, no options, is there was set by my company server? or global policy? can i just remove them but still had my exchange service remain?
pls lend me a helping hand, and the would be apreciate.
thx guys!!!

I recently rooted my phone and put the stable version of Cyanogenmod on it. I like my phone a lot better now, but there is one downside I can't seem to get past. There are 2 exchange email accounts that I want to connect to, but doing so forces me to enable either a pin or password for the lock screen. That also means that the emergency call button is right there on the lock screen.
I let my 18 month old son play with my phone. He is smart, but I know it is just a matter of time before he starts calling 911 from the lock screen. If it is possible, I would like to get exchange emails on my phone without needing the lock screen. Before the mod I was able to use Lockpick, but apparently that doesn't work with 2.2.
Does anyone know how to either override the need for a pin/password with exchange or at least get the emergency call button off of the lock screen? Thanks!
Hello everyone,
I have been searching for an app/widget by which I can turn off the screen but not lock it. This is because my device is under a corporate policy that requires a complex password if it is locked. (the lock is enabled after 20 mins of inactivity). The apps that I have tried have all turned off the screen and locked the phone.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Sayantan
PS: Needless to say that all this effort is to save the power button from wearing out!

Sorry, but with a corporate policy, you will not be able to dis-able the lock, on screen turn off, and password on unlock. The only way is to see if your corporate admin is willing to change the policy for you, on your phone, but I would doubt that, considering this is a mobile device connected to a corporate network in some form or fashion.
It is not the apps that do this, but the underlying settings within android that the corporate policy alters.
Thanks Jim.
I actually hooked up to my corporate server only recently, but I've been searching for an app even before that. My screen off timeout is 2 mins and screen lock (pattern & now password) is 20 mins. What I was looking for was to turn off the screen. But every app I found also locked the device and I had to enter the pattern or password. This was even before the policy enforcement.
The app comes in handy when outdoors where you might need to turn screen off immediately after use before pocketing it but not turn on the password.
Thinking of writing one myself now as my power button might already be feeling its age!
Thanks,

Since you want to save your power button, why dont you activate ' volume button wake screen '?
If you're on JB leak the type *#*#6686#*#* in your dialer and it'll take you to a secret laboratory menu. select Volume Wake screen and then you have to press one of the volume buttons to do the same.
Not sure if this works on ICS but you can always try.

Already have the volume rockr wake by editing the build.prop and key layout files. Was not aware of this menu. Thanks for sharing. But what I am really looking out for is an app/widget which just turns the screen off (similar to screen timeout) but not lock the screen (as in security timeout).

Hi @SMONDAL84,
Have you managed to find/program smth that solved your problem? I'm looking for exactly the same thing for months. I've searched the whole Internet (you'll have to trust me on this one) but all apps and widgets always lock the screen while turning the screen off. I'm no programmer, but I'm suspecting Android does not allow this.
Well, if you ever try to program smth, here's a suggestion: configure your power button to don't lock the screen and make some kind of shortcut that simulates the power button press.
I know it's been years... But please someday come back to this thread and let me know if you ever found anything

Hello. My son passed away last month suddenly, and I am trying to gain access to his cell phone, (I want to see his texts) a Samsung T599, with T-mobile service. It has a lock screen enabled, alpha-numeric, and I've spoken to t-mobile a couple of times, and they can see no away to bypass the lock screen without knowing the code.
I do have access to my son's google account, but unlike some I posts I have read on other forums, after attempting five password attempts, no "reset using google account" button appears. If I could reset using his google account, I'd be all set up, as I have access to that. I've tried accessing Device Manager on his Google account, someone said I could lock the phone, and set a new lock screen code remotely, but that Lock button is not seen. The phone is located on a map, but rather than having a Lock or Erase" button, it says 'Setup Lock and Erase." I click that, and asks if I want to send a setup notification to the phone. I click yes, but nothing happens. I can't access the Lock feature from Device Manager.
I read on another forum that I might be ably to bypass the lock screen by downloading a certain zip file to a micro-SD card, insert the card into the phone, and then enter reset mode or something like that, by pressing the on button, up volume and home key simultaneously. I was able to do that, browse to the zip file, start it, but then I get an error, something about being "unsigned."
I'm really hoping someone can help me here. It's very important that I gain access to the phone, without doing a master reset. Thanks for any and all help.

Hi guys,
Used this site many times being able to search for the solutions to any questions I have had until now.
Looking to have a app/widget that with one touch, passcode locks the phone with a predetermined passcode. Then the next time the phone is unlocked, it won't be passcode locked unless I hit the passcode lock icon. I tend to passcode lock my phone a lot and know there has to be a one touch solution out there that basically only locks the phone one time per lock activation. Hate going through the settings menu each time and putting in the code to turn on passcode lock and then putting in the code to remove passcode lock.
Anyone know of any apps?
Thanks!!!
Hey guys,
I'm hoping to tap into the minds of those who get crafty with Android. This is my last resort, I don't know what else to do.
I'm wondering if it makes sense to you guys that deleting an entry in the mobile Active Sync window of a user's exchange mailbox would disable the OK button on the PIN pad of an Android device?
Here's our situation: a user comes to see IT because his Outlook(app on Android) profile was disconnected and after having tried to enter the correct credentials many times and not be able to login, we decided to remove his device from the exchange Active Sync mobile menu of his user mailbox in exchange. Afterwards, we still weren't able to add his account in the Outlook app, so we figured, let's just reboot the phone. We couldn't simply reboot the phone because the OK button on the PIN pad was greyed out. So this device being a Samsung A50, we simulated a battery disconnect with the phone keys and when the devices boots up, we're not able to get past the login screen because we still can't press the OK button that is greyed out.
We do manage our cellphones with an MDM but it's not able to connect because we aren't past the login screen. It's my understanding that the OK button lights up when numbers are being entered on the PIN pad, but in our case, it just stays gray as we're typing the password.
Would there be a way to install a custom ROM on the phone and have access to the user's images? We have his PIN, we just can't press the OK button.
turns out... user was typing the wrong password :x
He figured it out a week later
