Hi
Im running CM7 nightly and have been using it without problems since it came but today my phone rebooted and when it started up my unlock pattern didnt work anymore and gesture function was activated on the lockscreen (wasnt before). I have USB Debuging enabled so if someone knows a way around please tell me.
Ive searched and tried these methods but nothing works. After i reboot the problem is the same.

Ive changed to unlock pattern with digits and used a 6 digit code before crash. I can recieve calls and answer but not access anything except the rotatary unlocksceen and the digitboard for unlock pattern. If i enter wrong code 10 times it just gives me 30 sec timeout and then back to start (no permant lock activated as it seems).
Please, any help is appreciated. I really dont want to factoryreset the phone.
Edit: The phone is HTC Desire HD

Hello,
I set my phone up to use the screen lock pattern option but now I cant seem to get rid of it. I was having problems with NoLED and thought the screen lock was interfering with it so I disabled it but even now when I turn my screen off and on it asked for my pattern. I have to put it in but it no longer seems animated.
Obviously this would be a bug and what I need to do to disable the screen lock now?
Whew! You gave me a bit of a scare just now.
I hadn't set a lock pattern yet, so I did to test this for you. Sure enough, I got the same thing as you.
Set a lock pattern, then un-set it by selecting "none" in the Settings/Security/Screen Unlock section. I was still getting the unlock pattern even though it was supposedly non.
I managed to turn it off by going through the set a new pattern process, then setting it to none after confirming the new pattern. Give that a try.
The other thing you might try is to switch it to a pin and see if the pin can be turned off. (I haven't tried that.)
A 4 day NS user and I didn't even know about noled. What a cool idea to fix the annoying no led problem. Thanks for leading me to the app.

Yeah it is, worked well until I added a few more apps. So if you dont have many apps it works well. There must be a conflict somewhere but cant be bothered trying to figure out what other app is affecting it, still might be the phone lock as well. It could also be gingerbread, NoLED might not be updated for it.

Thanks for that, did the same as you and turned it off. NoLED seems to work properly again. Looks like the lock affects NoLED.
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)
I'm not sure what the deal is with the phone, but I'm still able to to use the phone when it's "locked". By that I mean, when it has the ring lock that u pull up to unlock the phone I'm still able to pull the notification bar down and get to stuff. Due to this, whenever someone texts or calls or anything, the phone isn't truly locked and I will be typing gibberish in my pocket or accidently calling people and navigating to weird things. It is extremely annoying. I'm assuming this can be solved if I put a passworded lockscreen but I don't want to have to type something in everytime I turn the screen on.
2nd problem is while on the phone w/ someone the phone is still very active. While talking on the phone w/ it up against my ear I am doing the same thing...navigating to things, I have accidently called someone on 3 way, just things that shouldn't be happening. Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do? I'm unlocked and rooted w/ the OTA ICS.
Hi, those of you who use WidgetLocker Lockscreen by TeslaCoil Software app will notice than every time when you unlock your phone from the replacement lock screen, you will see that the phone will flash the default lock screen for a very short period of time (less than a second, but this can be really annoying), but it will generally be able to bring it to the screen where you enter your password or pattern. However, sometime it will fail to bring you to the *"simplified version" of the lockscreen, and will just bring you to the default lock instead.*(I mean "simplified version" because unlike the default lockscreen where you can also have the option to use the Emergency Call Option, they only give you the pattern lock or the password lock. (Those who use this software will know what I mean!)). And here's an idea that comes out of my mind: Can we actually disable the default lockscreen while using the WidgetLocker application?
And one more question: Sometime even WidgetLocker brings me to the right lockscreen and I draw the right pattern, it will just simply say that the pattern is not correct and I need to enter it for several times before it accepts it and sometime after many failed tries, I even need to wait for 30 seconds before trying to entering it again. Can someone also fix this problem? Thanks a lot.
My device Atrix 4G ME860 HKTW version is rooted, so feel free to give suggestions that involve root access
Okay so this happened a few days ago and has still not been fixed. The problem is that when I go to unlock my phone with the fingerprint scanner witch is what I've been using since I got the phone. Scan my finger and it just keeps saying no match I do know the backup password and it unlocks the phone. But I have tryed to scan my fingerprint again through the scanner option in settings. It want me to scan my finger for verification as this does not work iv tried. I then go to enter the backup password to access the setting to change my lockscreen code swipe exc. When I enter the backup password it tells my the the wrong password has been entered. Now this same password opens my phone unlocks it just fine. But will not let my scan my fingerprint again or change my lock screen. Any ideas on how to fix this woth out a backup and restore? It's rooted so it's not big deal but I'd rather not have to.
Did a bit of research myself as i had the same problem, always remember to deactivate fingerprint scanner before making a backup (This didn't sound like your issue but just something to keep in mind). I found this post from another forum which fixes your issue.
You will be able to input new fingerprints into your phone from the settings menu once you have completed this guide:
Hahaha it's not a fix so much as a workaround. It removes your registered fingerprints without having to factory reset.
Ready? In recovery, navigate to /data/validity/ and delete "template.db"
This won't remove the lock screen setting so upon reboot the lock screen will still think you're using fingerprint... But your backup password will work.
I actually had to do a reset the only thing I can think of that happened was I had the finger print scanner as the lock on my phone before I rooted the phone. I'm not sure exactly but I believe that it deleted the "details" I guess that's the best way to put it. You know the way it makes you scan your finger in multiple times in different ways. I always used the same way every time thinking about it now I always had problems with unlocking my phone with the scanner I just thought it he scanner was total crap. But yeah I guess when I rooted the phone it did something or maybe I just didn't do it right the first time.
But the problem has been solved and the phone works fine the scanner is a lot better than I thought.

Give this guide a try for the fingerprint scanner if you wish to use the scanner. Always had issues with it till i found this and it has helped out drastically.
