Is there a way to set the time interval before the phone asks for your PIN. Right now it asks every time you unlock the phone. I cant seem to see any settings to change that.
Thanks.
unfortunately there is but will only work until 2.1 . Google locked down the API used to access lock settings in 2.2 and above so until they write it into the code themselves or reverse that decision it looks like your not gonna find what you need sorry.
Man, that sucks. Thanks for the detailed answer.

I use an app called: no lock
I have a pin set up for my sim card, so I only have to enter it when I reboot.
But with no lock, after you're at your home screen, run the app once, then there's no swiping, puzzle or pin to enter. Until you reboot again.

No problem. If anything changes I'll keep ya in mind as this is a feature I am gonna miss from some of my previous phones
Hey guy, I got a galaxy s blaze recently and just rooted it today. I came across the problem of my home screen showing through my lock screen, no matter what type of unlocking method I use- whether it be passcode, the normal swipe to unlock, or the patter, it always shows through. It worked fine before, but I booted into CWM recovery on accident and when I rebooted to get out, it was like this. The pictures should help you guys understand what I'm talking about if you don't already. Please use noob friendly language, because I am a noob (although I hate to admit it...). Thanks for the help (first post by the way)
I believe there us a setting under display that allows you to use a picture for the unlock screen

I had the exact same problem until I went into the options and chose to use my wallpaper as my lockscreen image.
Thanks, I figured it out. Also, does anybody know how to make it so then when you lock the phone is requires you to slide to unlock and then prompts you to put in the passcode/pattern?

I believe that requires a change in the frameworks but not sure

If helped don't be afraid to hit the thanks button it doesn't bite lol
This happens after you fix permissions, if it happens again just change to a new wallpaper/ lock screen wallpaper and it will be fine.

I Was Looking Thru Stuff On Google+, And Saw The Following Post. I Don't Have A Nexus S, But Still, Why Shouldn't I Try, Right? Anyways, I Will Show This Person The Posting If You Guys Have Any Suggestions. Thanks In Advance.
" My Google Nexus S phone got locked due to multiple wrong patterns. Data was off and even USB debug might be off. So, not be able to login to Google ackt. If I can get USB debug turned on somehow, I will be able to unlock the phone by Android Debug bridge.
Anyone has an idea on this?"

He Wanted To Know If There's A Way Without Wiping.

--- Enter your Google username and leave the password blank. This is known as entering a "null" password.
--- Enter your Google username without the "@gmail.com" domain name with your password.
--- Enter your Google username without the "@gmail.com" domain name with a null password.
--- Use another phone to call your Android. Answer the phone and push the "home" button followed by the "menu" button without hanging up. Sometimes, this combination will open the phone's settings so that you can disable the pattern lock.
--- Use another phone to call your Android. This time, hang up and immediately press buttons randomly as fast as you can for 30 to 60 seconds. Hit the "home" button last. This is another way to get into the phone's settings to disable pattern lock. Timing is key with this workaround; it might take several tries to get it right.
--- Gmail.com offers a password recovery routine. Most users report that it doesn't work for them, but it's worth a try. Start at the beginning and follow each step carefully.
--- As a last resort, set your phone back to its out-of-the-box condition using the factory-reset function.

Either way, if all else fails, you can bring your cellphone to your carrier and they will reset it for you.

You're from L.A. (I'll imply you can speak and write decent English). Don't include a capital first letter for every word of your sentence.
Don't blame us if we suspect something fishy when your writing is subpar, and subpar writing often comes from not too educated larcenists. You wouldn't be the first nor the last person to try to bypass the security on a cellphone.

And yes, resetting to factory defaults will erase his personal data. That's the security idea, because phones security are not meant to be bypassed for someone to be able to access the user data.
Previously there has been a few ways to workaround the imposed limitations by shoddy ways, but I don't believe they are possible anymore.
If the person is rooted, there is a way.
He can turn off airplane mode by holding down the power button at the lockscreen and then selecting Airplane Mode from the Power Menu

Closed per OP, Thank You.
I have a very strange problem on my Nexus 5.
Some times when i receive an incoming call, i hear the ringtone, the device vibrates but i dont see anything on my display. Just a black screen, Also pressing the power button, i see the lock screen, unlocking the phone will not show the call either. if i select the dialer application i get the screen in the dialer with 3 options:
1) use touch tone keypad
2)return to call in process
3)add call
By pressing "return to call in process" nothing happens.
The problem is gone after restarting the device.
I read somewhere that this may be a proximity sensor problem due to screen protectors. I removed mine, and it continued having the problem.
Is there anything i can do to fix it [reseting the phone will be the last resort].
Thanks
I encountered this problem too, and now a new problem is my phone dead, cant turn it on.
any advice?

Can you get into bootloader so you can flash the factory image? Did you press the power button for about 10-15 seconds to force boot first.
Mine boots up as supposed to. Today i didn't have the incident.
Is this not a common problem?

Are you running stock or a custom ROM and if so what rom. Also if you could pull a logcat it could be easier to diagnose.
P.S. have you tried clearing data for the dialer app.
i am suffering from this issu haswell.
After a week of no incidents today i had the same problem again.
I am running vanilla android 4.2.2 by Google. No root no custom rom...

If you are worried about losing your call logs, they can be backed up a ton of different ways. When I don't have root, I use this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.CallLogBackupRestore&hl=en
Very lightweight and easy to use.

I was talking to my brother today (he is a Nexus 4 owner) and he told me that after updating from 4.3 to 4.4 he had the same problem. He could only solve it by restarting his device. So i guess, this is a dialer bug. Clearing dialer data i dont think will help..

mate i also faced this issue.So i tried uninstalling Truecaller and it worked for me.No more black screen.
Thanks for the suggestion but no application like this is installed on my device.
Maybe i will go throughout my apps once again..
My brother's N4 running 4.3 never had a problem. As soon as it updated to 4.4 he is having the problem.. Rarely but the problem is still there.

This problem is getting on my nerves!!
I hope 4.4.3 solves a lot of bugs of N5! Its a shame that an excellent device like this causes such problems.
Also another problem my friends are reporting, is that, they call me, it rings 3 times and then it hangs like if the device is powered off or i canceled the call. And i dont even hear it ring, or find an answered call.
Is there a chance all these problems to be linked on my provider?

I started thinking that maybe its caused by a 3rd-party application, but it seems that other Nexus 5 owners experiencing the same problem as well..
After some thinking i used factory reset on my device yesterday evening just to rule out the possibility below:
As soon as i have purchased the device Google Now wasn't available. So i read in a forum that in order to fix this you have to somehow trick the device that you are situated in a country where Google Now is available. So i downloaded an app (GPS fixing??) and positioned my device to UK, remove something and then install it again(Google services). That fixed the problem and Google Now was available.
Maybe something went wrong there and i was experiencing these problems..
So far so good. Then again to be sure if that was the problem i have to give it at least 2 weeks.
I will get back to you for the results.

Hello all. I have a problem. I can not, for the life of me, figure out how to set my lock screen to 'None'. I've tried:
Disabling fingerprints and fingerprint unlock,
Disabling smart unlock and any trusted agents
Disabling and uninstalling Android Pay and Android Wallet,
Disabling NFC,
I have no VPNs
I have no administrators enabled,
I have cleared my credential storage,
powered off my phone and powered it back on
I do not have any encryption enabled
and still 'None' is grayed out with the "Disabled by Administrator, encryption policy, or credential storage" message.
I just can't think of anything else to try in order to disable the lockscreen. Can anyone please help me?:crying: Thank you for anyone help anyone can offer. I'm desparate!
You seem to have tried everything. Only thing else I can think of is I know sometimes if apps are allowed draw over others, the phone can block some security settings.
Just a suggestion, but if you go into your apps in settings and change it there, maybe it'll work
All I can suggest then is a factory reset unfortunately, I cannot think of anything else to change
Sorry I couldn't be of more help
Draw over other apps
Should I disable Draw over other apps for every app in the list or any one in particular?

We have this issue on our Honor 8. It's my son's phone so I can't test possible solutions. One I read was to remove all credentials. Since I don't have the phone, I have no idea where credentials are. Another I read said to create a pattern lock and a pin emergency lock. Use the WRONG pattern 5 times or until it requires the back-up pin. Enter back-up pin then the "none" choice returned. It will be a few more weeks before I have access to the phone. If either works, please report back.
