Just flashed to Liberty 1.5 (love it so far) - but the Screen Lock is killing me. My company requires a password from screen lock. I used to be able to set the "Lock Phone After" to 20-30 minutes, so even if I "locked" my Droid, it didn't require a password until after 30 minutes. Right now, everytime the screen locks (manually or automatically) I have to enter my password.
I didn't have this issue with Apex 1.3 or stock - it seems that option is missing in the admin?
i remember seeing it listed in the liberty 1.0 thread that there is no more screen lock timer.
I'm bummed that its gone too, it was a feature i really liked, although i am not made to use it.
If there is a way to get it back, I would really like to know too.
I also would like to know how to get this back.
Anyone know how to get this to the owners of Liberty?
Lock Screen
I didn't try the numbered lock screen, but the pattern lock screen worked fine. I was able to set it so it came up after the screen shut down. The only thing I saw them take out was the unlimited screen time out which is ok.
Unfortunately, my corporate policy via Lotus Traveler requires a password. If so everytime I turn off the screen the password locks. Should be able to lock screen without password lock unless time period has passed. Hoping there is a fix or work around. I've read this on other ROM threads...

I just setup a pattern lock on my Liberty 1.5 install and there was no option for setting a timeout time. How / where do you set the timeout?
settings > display > screen timeout?

Hi,
I got new Samsung Omnia Pro4 (B7350)
WM 6.5.3
And my problem is that if you have password lock (even though you set at after certain hours), AND lock screen when device is woken up turn on, EACH time you press the lock button and slide button, you will be prompt for a password. VERY VERY annoying. If I remember in previous OS, you can unlock screen without password even though it is set after certain hours.
I use this password lock whit my BT watch, so if my phone is too far from the watch (lost or stolen) it would lock itsef.
But now it's allready locked when I press the screen off button off and on.
It's very annoying to tap password every time, cause the prompt time does not work.
(The watch program work only if the lock is enabled, and I have set the prompt time 2hours)
I just would like to "time to unused" work.
Any help or ideas?
elo,
have you managed to fix this problem?
It's very annoying :/ Previously I unlocked my phone only at simcard change and reboot.
Hi everyone,
I have a problem with LRX21O on my Nexus 5 32 GB. I installed it on day one and everything went fine. I was able to press the power button to get to the lockscreen then either swipe right to phone, left to camera, or up to unlock, or just leave it alone to re-lock after checking my notifications.
I then turned on a PIN lock under security and played with it a bit to see if it could use my FitBit One as a Smart Unlock device (no dice because it doesn't do a bluetooth pairing, it just syncs). So... I turned the PIN back off.
I now have no lockscreen. Pressing 'power' just sends me straight to whatever was happening when the screen turned off. I've tried turning various screen lock methods on and off and goofing with it that way, but I can't get a password-free lockscreen to show up again! ARGH!
EDIT: NEVER MIND I'M AN IDIOT
I had been chosing 'none' instead of 'swipe' because I went to a list called security->screen lock and was figuring it was a "security" setting (swiping does not equal security). I somehow did not see Swipe even though I looked at the screen with Swipe on it like 47 times.
Hi,
My work requires me to have a password on my phone, and has set the maximum auto-lock time to 29 minutes. If I turn the screen off with the power button and then turn it back on less than 29 minutes later, the phone goes right to my home screen. If I turn it back on greater than 29 minutes later, the phone goes to the swipe/unlock screen.
I like the swipe screen - it prevents me from accidentally opening apps when I reach into my pocket to take out my phone. But obviously I don't want to have to enter a password every time I turn the screen on.
So - is there a way to tell it to activate the swipe screen every time I turn the screen on, but only require the unlock password if it has been > 29 minutes since the last time I turned it on?
Thanks

Settings>Lock screen and security>Secure Lock Settings. There you can turn off "Lock automatically with power button" and you can also change the amount of time under "Lock Automatically". That may take you directly to the home screen though...havent tried it. If you set up a finger print its super easy to unlock, though.
Anyway to make smart lock work for you?

Maybe I didn't explain myself correctly. I don't want it to Lock because I don't want to have to input a password every time. I also don't want to change the amount of time because I don't want to increase the frequency of times that I need to enter the password.
All I want is for the swipe screen to appear every time I turn the screen on. I want the lock screen to appear only when the phone has been off for 29 minutes. My work does not allow us to use the fingerprint unlock.. it has to be an 8 character password.

Yes, smart lock is enabled and works well. But with smart lock, the swipe screen only appears after 29 minutes; I just don't need to enter the password. I want the swipe screen to appear even if the screen has only been off for 30 seconds.
Hey,
I've been using Swipe for my lock screen setting for the past 5 years - since I've had an s3. Just recently, within the past week or so, my phone isn't showing me my lock screen. I use my lock button or my phone goes to sleep for several minutes and when I wake up my phone, it's already unlocked.
To my knowledge, no settings have been changed and after googling I still can't figure out a reason why. I don't have location, bluetooth, smartstay, always on, none of that on.
Any help would be appreciated!

I have my screen timeout set to 2 mins, but if I turn the screen off manually and then immediately back on (Say because I receive a message), even if it has only been a few seconds it still asks for my PIN, is there a way to delay this too?
My S9 used to allow a delay set for logging back in and would just turn straight back onto the homescreen, gets a bit tedious having to log in every single time and I don't want biometrics set (Not that fingerprint seemed to be very reliable anyway, and face unlock is too easy to fool)
Cheers
