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.

t mobile sapp300 when powr on show "draw pattern to unlock"

it is a user created code. you make it yourself, it's like a password pin.

if you happen to forget or unable to unlock the phone using the pattern, keep doing it until you reached the limit. from there, you can enter in your google username and password to override the pattern lock and reset it to one you can remember.

keep trying until you reach the limit.
first 5 failed attemps gets you a 30 seconds counter.
wait 30 seconds and fail again for another 5 times.
it will give you another 30 seconds counter. this time, at the bottom of your screen, there will be a new button "forget your pattern" press it and follow instructions.

Ehm, maybe a little warning. If you're using a google apps account (i.e. your google-mail adress is not [email protected] but [email protected]), setting it back won't work and you'll have to wipe your phone. At least it was like that in Cupcake. I don't want to try that again in Donut

If your problem is too many pattern attempts try this.
Call the phone from another phone.
Answer the problem phone, hit the back key while call is still engaged. From there hit menu and go into settings. You may be able to remove pattern lock or do a factory reset. You will lose your apps etc but not your info on sd card. I fixed one for a friend with this method before. Might take a few goes to get it right.

That has't worked since before 2.1.......
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.

" 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.

No subliminal racial accusation.
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

With Secure Settings (and Tasker) it will do pattern lock. I am doing this. The only difference between KK and L with secure settings is you have to go into the spanner icon > Pattern unlock method [4.1+] > Lock Settings (Experimental)

I read somewhere (can't recall where) that, that is supposed to happen. You have to unlock first with pin/pattern then it should take affect but I too have only had this happen a couple times. The rest of the times it just simply unlocks.

Hmm. With the new experimental feature you mean?
But what I mean is it is broken sometimes. Doesn't accept the pattern. It shows the pattern path as correct and just hangs there, not unlocking, until I off and on the screen.
use the new play service apk and set location

Do you have Secure Settings?
And in secure setting do you have System+ Module enabled and set up as Device Admin?
What me and @rootSU were talking about is just a, you can say a bug, where the pattern is complete but it just hangs to unlock.You can see the pattern (Which I think sucks because someone else can see if you just leave your phone on that screen) but it just stays there. You lock your phone again and upon swiping the regular slide lock, there shouldn't be any prompt anymore and it should work fine after that.
I know using Tasker alone cause a lot of error like not disabling lock screen at all and just a blank screen sometimes.
