I have a 10minute delay until the pattern lock screen pops up but what if i wanted to lock the screen right away instead of waiting the 10 minutes, is there a widget or LaucherPro shorcut method to do this?
Go into settings then security and you can reset the delay time

i don't want to reset the delay. i want to keep the 10min delay and have the option to press something to immediately lock the phone.
Yes - found what your looking for!

Yes there is thank goodness. I wanted this myself - tired of pressing the power button to lock the screen. The widget is called Lock Screen Widget from the marketplace. Enjoy - I know I did.
i tried that widget but it doesn't work. just turns the screen off.
i should note that i'm also using "Lock Delay" but even with Lock Delay uninstalled, the Lock Screen widget doesn't work for me.
A lot of people are saying that Lock Delay doesn't work with 2.2 but i'm not having any problems aside from the lock pattern coming up at random times but thats ok, it's only once a while.
pressing the power button works fine for me it locks the screen
we all have different configurations though:
I have Lock Delay to accomplish the following:
1. Pattern Lock only comes on after 10minutes of inactivity
2. Pressing Power button to turn the screen off and then on again will not show the Slide To Unlock screen
This way If i'm going to use the phone on and off during a short period of time (10 minutse), I won't have to keep bothering with sliding to unlock the screen every time i turn the display on.
By default the slide to unlock screen always comes up.
Hmmm. Works for me

Thats exactly what i was thinking lol. As far as the OP idk. i know there are widgets that can turn the lock pattern on and off so if you were to turn off the delay and use that widget that kinda solves your problem
Try switch pro widget

that's what a lot of people have probably but the problem that i see with that is that you have to slide to unlock and pattern unlock EVERY time you turn the display back on. am i correct? because i currently have Lock Delay (app) that disables both slide and pattern locks during the first 10 minutes so i don't have to mess with them every time i want to use the phone.
SwitchPro doesn't work, it only brings me to the unlock settings screen, pressing back will cancel out of the lock.
Lock screen widget works for me

switch pro widget has that option and many more for the power widget

Is there a way to get the lock screen before the pattern screen?
for me, when i hit the wake button, it goes straight to the pattern screen. If i turn the pattern screen lock off, and i hit the wake button, it goes to the lock screen.
I just want it so that if i hit the wake button it would go lock screen then pass word pattern screen
Pretty sure you can only have one or the other.
That's weird. Mine always prompts the lock screen then my pattern screen. Thought this process was default.
Could try this. Go into settings>CM settings> lockscreen> unlock options
If skip on security is checked then uncheck it. That should prompt the lockscreen then pattern screen upon wake

Why do people assume that everyone is using CM. I am on Weapon and your answer means nothing.

One can only assume since cm is the majority. If you don't want assumptions then be specific on the details. General questions can arise numerous answers.
If I use a pattern as a security option and the click "automatically lock" after 30 mins, it doesn't do it, instead it ask for a patter every single time I turn off-on the screen.
Anybody has this issue?

If im not mistaken, this option is only valid when you let the screen switch off itself and not press the power button to lock the screen. try it out.

I think you are right, I wonder why Google did this weird feature. iOS, WebOS, WP, Custom skins like Blur, sense? have a properly delayed Security Lock.
You set X time, and the security lock will be show X mins after you finished used the device including pushing the power button.

I have been using Google Navigation, which is a great app but which is a huge battery hog - particularly with the screen on.
(Lets assume for the moment I dont have a car charger available)
I understand that Google Nav can be used with the screen off, and the voice commands will still work. This helps significantly with the battery life.
At certain points I would like to actually see the map/screen, but in between can leave the screen off and follow voice commands.
Here is my question - currently if I turn off my screen by pressing the side power button, it should keep navigation voice directions active with the screen off (I think...correct?).
But when I press this button to turn it back on, it goes to my lock screen (in my case I use WidgetLocker). From there I would need to manually navigate back to the Navigator App. While driving, going through this series of steps is not ideal.
How can I set things up so that the screen times out or I switch it off with the power button, but that when re-activated it goes straight to the Navigation app screen with no needed intermediate steps?
I am on stock setup - not rooted.
Thanks.

Try disabling Widget locker before entering navigation. See if you get the same results with the stock lock screen.

I use WidgetLocker.
If I turn the screen off using the power button, I still get voice commands.
If I turn the screen on, I get WidgetLocker and unlock it with the simple swipe, then I'm back at the GPS screen as if I'd never left it.
Hmmm that doesnt work for me. Could be because my WidgetLocker screen is covered with email, calendar, etc. So anywhere I try to swipe ends up taking me directly an app or an email, rather than just swiping off the screen...
Is there no way to set up so that for a particular app, lock screen / widget locker just dont activate so the phone goes from standby straight into the app?

You can configure widgetlocker to prevent clicks on those apps you have on the lockscreen

But most of the time I want that click through capability. I dont think I would want it to be off. I was just pointing out that this is the reason a simple swipe from that screen isnt feasible for me in getting straight back to Navigation...
Google Nav will overlay the built-in lock screen, but Widget Locker will show up. If you have a bunch of widgets that allow interaction you can try turning on the back button unlock in settings:
Settings->Buttons & Inputs->Back Button Unlock
You can then set the unlock delay to suit. That way you can unlock while in Nav without using the sliders.
This suggestion worked. Thanks very much for your help.
Thinking about it I guess if I had the space I could also add the Nav icon to WidgetLocker and get to it that way directly as well.
Appreciate everyone's input.

When I turn the screen on to check notifications and i expand a notification: text, facebook message, etc..
Even while my finger is touching the screen the screen turns off. This occurs both in power save mode and with power save mode turned off.
Its quite annoying, especially if i just want to read real quick what an email says.
Anyone else getting this?
Nope. Try doing a hard reset
Tried a second s6 and resetting the device. I get the same thing. I also have the unlock effect turned off.
My phone is also giving me problems on the lockscreen. I don't have an unlock effect either so I'm thinking be the problem. I notice when I turn on any other option my problem goes away. It just darkens my wallpaper to almost black. Did a hard reset as well.
I also noticed a huge lag when i tap a notification and then try to unlock. I'm also unable to double tap a notification on lock screen to open that specific app.
I tried using the buble unlock affect and still get the same problem. turn on screen->expand notification of given app while still holding my finger on the screen, then seconds later screen turns black

I see what you're saying about holding the finger on the screen and it still times out. Is it not like this on other lollipop phones, this is my first go with lollipop so I don't know? ...No lag for me, and I can tap then unlock and I'm in the app asap.

Well maybe its cause i came from an AOSP rom on my Lg g2 but i would think if your finger it touching the screen it should stay on anyways.
I wish i could just double tap the notification and it opens the app versus tapping the notification and then having to swipe to unlock.
the lag when trying to unlock after tapping the notification is a little, its not instant like how it would when tapping on a heads-up notification

I just tried again...If you swipe down on the notification to read it, it should go up to like another screen (not literally) but the notification slides up basically were the clock and weather would be. There it doesn't time out until the screen time out you have set under display is reached, and you can read the other notifications too. What you are doing is pulling down the notification without letting go then it times out. Swipe the notification and let go of the screen.

Hi All,
So I have a very odd issue. I have googled and searched the threads, but I cannot find any mention of the same issue from anyone else. Here is my problem:
When the screen is completely off (I have "Always On" turned off), sometimes when I push the power button the lock screen does not come up. Instead, I can barely make out tiny white text at the very bottom of the display that is half cut off. Obviously I cannot take a screenshot to show you. So I push the power button a couple of times and then it works.
Anybody have a clue what is going on?
Thanks in advance!
Dave

Auto hibernate. Just make a home screen shortcut and tap it B4 u lock your device

I must be an idiot. Can you clarify? That sounds like an annoying extra step to have to tap an app prior to each time I lock my phone. Maybe I'm misunderstanding?
that text is greenify is working sign ..
when you press power button when it's working, you won't get screen wake. Need to wait until it's finished,
or press power once (to stop greenify process) then wait a little while until text disappears.

No it's a hibernate shortcut you don't actually open the app. just tap it and it'll put everything to sleep then just lock your phone. I don't use auto hide unless I have root. On nonrooted phones it takes forever to do it when you go to lock your phone and in my case it would take forever for me to be able to unlock my phone so I find it easier to just tap the shortcut then lock
Note the lil icon in the bottom right. It just puts stuff to sleep, doesn't open the app
