Hi guys when I first setup my phone it asked me if I wanted to password protect it and I clicked yes. Now every 3 minutes the phone locks and asks me for my password, this is a good security feature, but its getting annoying. I cant find out where I can change the settings so it locks up every 10 minutes..Please help.
Also...
The button on the top left of the screen that turns the screen on and off, my finger always hits this button when I am typing and it turns off the screen and when I press the button to turn the screen back on it takes me the home screen without saving what I was typing (i.e. a sms or something else)...is there anyways around this?
Thanks a bunch

Hey, to take care of your password issue, go to Start > Settings > Lock and in there you will see the settings on how long your phone will wait to lock again after inactivity (after you type your password). You can also use this area to chang your password. Hope this helps.
As far as your issue with the power button, I'm sorry but I don't have any suggestions.
hi all
ive checked alot of forums and threads and cant seem to get a 100% answer.
i love my defy, however since its got a physical button on top that turns on the unit, and then to turn off the screen u click it again. simple
it may sound picky, but i dont want to click the power button to turn off, also i dont wanna wear out the power button.
ive tried plenty of apps that do "screen off" function however they just lock the defy instead of turning off the screen.
just wanted to know is it possible to have no lock screen for android?
ive found a good app called "invisible lock widget" which is a hidden icon that u click to lock. is it possible to make it just turn off screen.
or does anyone have suggestions please???
Btw this probably should be in general . .. .
Froyo's 'slide to unlock screen' cant be turned off easily from a settings option.
Anywho, the way around it is this https://market.android.com/details?id=org.jraf.android.nolock.
"No Lock", which can be found in Market, can disable the lock screen.
I'm using a Chinese app 一键锁屏, which can turn off the screen by a tap on the icon. But it requires root.
I use "No Lock", works great
thanks all
thanks all for your replies.
i have tried "no lock" before i posted this thread. ive tried alot of those no lock screen apps and none of them do what i want.
when i use no lock, it just stops me from using any app that can turn off screen.
well, i guess there cant be much done.
if anyone else has any advice it would be much appreciated, other wise thank you all.
I'm not sure I've read this thread correctly but I'm quite happy for the screen to time out and turn off the screen, but I don't want to have to swipe to turn it back on. pressing the power button should be the only action. to revive the homescreen.
would no lock achieve this?

the thing i want to do is make it so that i can turn off my phone with an icon instead of using the power button. i found apps to do that however they dont turn off my screen, instead they lock my phone so the screen is still on but locked.
i just want it to turn off as if i was using my power button.
"no lock" app stops my phone from going into lock screen at all, however it stops all the other apps from functioning.
maybe if i could change the time that the lock screen stays on would be good enough for me.

When the screen is turned off, most apps will be stopped by design of the android system. Do you mean "no lock" turns off screen and some apps which the power button doesn't? Can you name some of these apps?

when i have "no lock" activated it stops the screen off apps from working.
basically i just wanna do turn off the screen of the phone just like i do when i click the power button but have the option to use an app.
but from what ive read other androids like sgs it works fine yet for my defy it doesnt.
does anyone else have that problem?
Hi guys,
I´m having this problem for the second time.
My screen doens´t lock, I press the off button the screen goes dark but when i press the home key doesn´t appear the slide button to unlock, just the home screen.
It´s the second time that this happens, I did a factory reset and started to work fine again but this time I don´t wanna do it again since I will loose again all the apps
I checked all the apps and everything seams to be fine, nothing is keeping it awake.
Any ideas or sollutions?
Thanks in advance
i just have the same issue. no solution in the xda search. ?
nvm found, solved.
Hey there..
I installed a custom rom using this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27049363&postcount=2
I then lost my imei and couldn't make/receive calls. So I spent like 12 hours wallowing in sorrow and pondering.. I then used ODIN to flash param bin and successfully got my imei back ! Woot!
But now, there is a box on my screen, screenshot.
And I can't lock my screen. I changed the settings to pattern lock and lock instantly with power key, and the screen blanks out, but when I press the power key again, it just goes back to the last thing on the page, no lock screen. And, if I hold the power key, it doesn't pop up with the menu to 'restart' or 'turn off mobile networks', it just turns the phone off..
Please help ! Thank you.

No need to worry ! I figured it out, I just opened /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode with FX file manager with root add on from Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/..._result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsIm5leHRhcHAuZngiXQ..
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...her#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDYsIm5leHRhcHAuZngucnIiXQ..
I opened the /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode and pressed edit and changed it from OFF to ON then manually restarted. Self dependence for the win !
Hey guys!
Interesting problem I've been working on, my friend's sister has a tablet (did some research, 99% sure it's the Ubox A13-MID) that has a pattern lock. She forgot the pattern, and also doesn't know what the main gmail attached to it is. I've attempted several unlock patterns, no 'forgot password?' prompt comes up. The tablet also doesn't appear to have a fastboot or recovery menu... pressing power+vol up, power+vol down, and power+vol up+down doesn't do anything, no matter how long I hold the buttons, no matter if I let the power button go after a couple seconds, nothing happens. She's not tech savvy, so I know USB debugging isn't enabled. The tablet has an SD slot, and I'm not certain if it supports OTG. But even with these considered as possible ways of restoring the tablet (by any means possible, including root), I don't see any way of doing anything with them without any system menus.
By the way, I hope this isn't a violation to ask this (any kid could come on here and ask how to unlock a stolen device, lol), so please forgive me if it is. If it would be of any aid, I have two rooted androids of my own, both support OTG. Just throwing that out there in case either of them may be able to aid in unlocking this crapplet.
Safe mode doesn't help, and launching the 'power off/airplane mode/sound' window DOES reveal the back button, home button, and screenshot button along the bottom of the device's screen, as well as the option to increase/decrease volume (I was hoping there would be the tiny chance of a settings icon there to bypass the screen). Been swiping up to see if I could launch something to bypass it, as a bug. I can take screenshots this way, but that seems to be all.
I was able to bug out the tablet by dragging the clock to the trashcan, the 3 dot icon came up on the bar but when I clicked it, the tablet just powered off
When it came back on, the clock was back, and the same cycle occurred when I did it again.
Is this a lost cause?
