I was wondering if there's any solution to the issue of the screen staying locked while the phone is pluged in for synchronise or charging? I've been trying to find a setting of some kind but I failed
I am using Android screen locker.
The purpose is the following:
When I put my phone in the car craddle (with a built in charger and hadns free) it lights up locked and it is a bit annoying to slide down the screen each time I sit in the car for a drive. It would be nice to have the screen unlocked and the phone ready for use (navi, phonecall,...).
Thanks!
I know you said you're using Android locker, which I'm honestly not familiar with. BUT, I'm using S2U2 and it is set to unlock on external power. It also has an option to unlock when connected to a cradle.
Both options can be found under the "Others" section of the S2U2 Settings.
Will give it a try. 10x!

Hi,
I'm using a Galaxy S running a froyo custom ROM.
I was wondering whether there is a way to disable the "auto lock" feature of the phone?
The display can still shutdown based on the selected screen time-out time, however, the phone should stay without getting auto locked, unless its explicitly locked.
Ideally, it should be like in the Nokia 5800, where the screen switches off after the given number of seconds, however the phone stays unlocked (unless its locked using the hardware button) and the display comes on when the screen is tapped/touched.....
Is there any way something similar could be done with Android?
Thanks in advance,
Look for an app in the market called No Lock. One click on the app toggles the auto-lock on/off and it's auto-loaded every time the phone boots up. Couldn't be easier simpler.
Thanks for the reply.
Actually, I'm using "no lock" at the moment.... What I'm ideally looking for is a way to bring the screen alive just by tapping on the screen. Even eith "no lock" still you need to press one of the hardware buttons to awaken the screen....
Maybe this is not possible in Android ?
I don't think it is...
But even if it was possible, why would you want it? It'd get triggered so often any time you brushed up against it, wasting battery and launching apps while in your pocket or something.
try Extended control
I also need an app or a tweak or something that let me set the screen timeout, withOUT autolocking, but also withOUT disabling the lockscreen, so when I press the side buttons the phone locks.
I've been searching for days with no luck. Any help, please?
Hi
Just bought the S3 last week - have not tweaked it in any way (apart from rooting and using Go Launcher ex). Works great apart from a couple of things security related:
When I try to enrypt device or encrypt sd card there are no options to enter pin and the continue button is greyed out for both
I want to securely lock the screen with a pin but the first unlock screen to appear just requires you to slide the lock button to the right to unlock the screen enabling full access to the phone. I basically want the phone to immediately (and only) ask for a pin when it comes out of standby.
Thanks for your help!

Hi! You are in the wrong forum Search for your phone's forum and ask there.
I have a very specific tweak I want to achieve. When removing the phone from a wireless charger the screen screen remains off.
Is there a way to get the screen to turn on automatically (like if you were to remove from USB charging)

if thr s no built-in setting for accessories so install 3rd party app like smart connect of Xperia to manage wht phone does after a specific action.
:good:
This is crazy, I even downloaded Tasker and still not able to achieve screen on after removal from wireless charging.
It would be a nice feature, I'm using a wireless charger as well and you are right, the display doesn't turn on when you pick up the phone. It's weird because it turns on when you put into the pad (just like a wired charger).
Did you try with "Trigger" app to trigger a task (from Tasker) which turns on the screen when the charger is disconnected?
I will try to do some research, and I will let you know if I find something
Any luck with this? I'm running Xposed Framework + Gravity Box. Even with "Unplug turns on screen" checked under "Display Tweaks", it still only turns on when placed on my Tylt Vu. Doesn't turn on when taken off.
My wife and I got a couple pixels back on black Friday, they've both been great. My wife switched from Apple so she enjoys pointing out all the things she doesn't like. She recently found one thing I can't explain. This works on both of our phones.
1. Phone locked, screen off
2. Press power button on side of phone. Phone goes to PIN unlock screen.
3. Try (unsuccessfully) to unlock using fingerprint scanner with an indirect finger. Use you pinky or whatever finger isn't loaded in your system yet
4. Message appears saying you've failed too many times, try again later
5. Swipe screen up.
6. Phone unlocks. Without ever entering your PIN!
Can anybody else repeat this? Google support chat is no help. I was told that if a factory reset doesn't solve the problem I would have to send the phones in for replacements.
Maybe you have smart unlock set up?

Mine doesn't do that. Swipe up after failing fingerprint gets me to PIN.
Smart lock
I have smart lock set to keep my phone unlocked at home, in my wife's car and when I have a set of ear buds connected. Neither of those three were near or connected when I tested this thoroughly last night at dinner and this morning at work
Mine doesn't do that. I have smart lock for my blue tooth devices.
My pixel does not do this,I get asked for my pin
Nope, I can't recreate this without smart lock being on. What happens if you just press the power button and then swipe up?
If you do your test in your home, it's normal to stay unlocked since you are in SAFE UNLOCK in your house.
Hey, so my phone's screen recently broke, and it was still working perfectly in Samsung DeX mode. However, I made the mistake of disabling it because something I wanted to do required normal screen mirroring. Now, when I plug the phone through HDMI, I see a padlock on the screen, which normally requires me to enter my pattern to unlock the phone and have the screen mirror normally (but the screen and seemingly touch aswell are broken).
- Samsung S20 FE
- USB Debugging is disabled, so i cant use scrcpy
- I am able to feel vibrations when using a mouse, so maybe there would be a way to enter it blindly, but the pattern is too complex for me to do that
- I don't think I have a normal PIN but I don't recall, some people said pressing space twice on a keyboard then entering it could help, no luck
- I'm was able to see the device once in sideload mode, probably through recovery mode? (screenshot below)
- I currently see the device as unauthorized (2nd screenshot)
I'm pretty much open to any way of doing this, even disabling the pin would be okay.
Thanks in advance!
Managed to fix this using a windows drawing pen, finding where the dots for the patterns are located with vibration, and mapping them on a piece of paper.
another way would be connect TV or monitor with HDMI adapter and connect usb mouse / keyboard

The thing is, the pattern doesn't show on the external display.
All you see is a grey screen with a padlock and the time.
If you have a PIN though, that does work cause you just have to hit space twice, type it in then hit enter. Easy even if you can't see.
