I just read in a review that if the phone is locked and you press the camera button, you still have to enter your passcode/pattern. Have any ROMs/DEVs gotten around this?
I hate that....I would like to know this too.
Not true it still asked for password.

Huh? That is the problem!
Well, you can set the lock screen to lock after 15 minutes of inactivity, thus disabling the security password for 15 minutes. If you use your phone often then it'll probably never lock, and you'll be able to jump straight to the camera... Or you could just disable the password for now
its supposed to do that. Why have a password on the phone then, If someone can bypass it?

My quess is that he wants to disable the lock screen just for the camera app so that you can take a picture fast.
yes that is why....you can bypass the lockscreen only to take a picture, not for anything else....not much danger could come of someone being able to take a picture with your phone, only if they could access the other parts of it.

I've tried Lockbot, and the thing crashes my phone way too much.
I've tried using a password lock, and it's just annoying.
All I want is to remove that second "menu" push for unlocking the phone, that's it. So when I hit menu, I've got to swipe down to unlock it.
I was working in the yard yesterday, and I unlocked my phone every time I bent over, causing me to make calls, change songs, etc. It was really annoying.
Any way of doing this?
Thanks!
Yea, dont bend over....But, to answer your question, No.

Bah..My back really wishes I didn't have to. I need to have kids so they can do this crap.
So the only option right now is to enable the lockscreen or go with a holster I guess..ugh.

Do we really need to go back to the "deodex the entire ROM" debacle? LOL
Hi guys,
I've recently realised that after I receive a phone call, the phone automatically gets unlocked after the call has ended.
Is there any setting to prevent this?
I am so used to stuffing the phone back into my pocket and do not wish to inadvertently butt dial someone or launch apps while the phone is sitting unlocked in my pocket.
Hope you guys can help on this.
i dont know what kind a security lock you have, if its a pin it shouldn't, thinking about this, im sure i have to put my pin code to access the phone during and after a call otherwise this would be a security loophole.

Slide to unlock is pretty useless without security. It even let's you use the notification area so I doubt it would fully prevent pocket dialling.
Anyway, doesn't surprise me.

Umm, yes I know that it doesn't offer much security but I don't want to punch in a password or use the camera security each time I want to access my phone.
The lock screen doesn't automatically lock after a call without security. Power button to turn off the screen does. So after a call, turn off the screen.

It woks most of the time in my home, but not all the time...
Make sure you don't have any apps setup to turn the screen off, IE I used to have tasker setup to turn screen off when i set it on wireless charger, but was actually locking the device each time. I've heard others mention the same thing with other apps. So Rule that out first. Otherwise it is not 100% unfortunately.

Also something wise I just found out while experimenting is that of you are device only for gps it never works either.
Basically it is face unlock. Wait for a few seconds and you should see the lock become unlocked at the bottom

I use high accuracy....yes I waited like 30 seconds and nothing......oh well I am putting it to 30 minutes because I hate using a lock to be honest. I moved to Medellin from the states and girls whatsapp me every 5 seconds. I don't have time to unlocked that much lol

Its face unlock that sucks. Face unlock on KK you just point the device and if its good, it goes straight to your home screen. No swipes, no hands.
This version always takes a swipe even if successful and as you can see yourself, you cant direct the camera.
Talk about fixing something that isnt broken google! :crying::crying::crying:
It depends on your usage. On KK, when glancing on my phone when changing the music track with lock screen controls often unlocked my phone accidentally, so I needed to lock again. Now on Lolipop, I can change tracks without worrying to unlock.

Yes, if you are listening to music all of the time when using your phone I take your point.
I'm not against what they have done in Lollipop, I'm against the lack of choice.
Okay, so I've had many phones before this one and none of them ever done this before..
So I was at work and my phone was in my pocket with a iris and password lock on but I've just noticed it's on the lockscreen witch is dumb… but anyway, somehow inside my pocket I called 911 due to somehow turning on the phone inside my pocket and pressing the emergency button..
So my question is since this has never happen before if I can somehow disable that button and possibly make it invisible and no longer there so I don't do it again.
I googled and some said if I used another lock screen from the market but I don't wanna do that unless I have to and plus idk which one would be good for this phone in the first place…
So please, someone help lol I gotta work tomorrow and don't wanna pocket dial 911 again.
Also am I the only one who has done this with this phone or is it a common issue?
Keep screen turned off option in display.
Pretty sure that will do it

It was on. Im trying to remove it all together tho if possible.
It turns out I need root or download another lock screen… which will suck because idk if I can use my iris scanner if do that
Well, I am guessing the emergency call thing has to be there legally...
I cant find the setting (the one how when you press home it goes straight to pin?)
Turn that off so atleast you will have to swipe up to get to where the emergency button is.
(i know this isnt a fix but its another step you have to accidentally do)
This has got to be one in a million. It's a lot of very specific presses, swipes, and numbers that Have To be pressed.

Well for my screen it's right where you type the password or do the iris scan. And I pressed it to see if it calls right to 911 and it doesn't but theres another button after that it does.

Food for thought. Are you sure you didn't have the triple click power enabled and that is what placed the call?

I found it an no that wasn't on.
As much as I love it I'm gonna have to turn off the always on display because that's probably why it came on.

Triple press power button is to send an SMS to your chosen contacts I believe... not dial emergency number

Never experienced this on my phone so far...
Hey
Does PIN unlock work similar to a phone? or as long as its on your wrist, it is unlocked?
I have setup Google Pay and it needs a PIN unlock, but its annoying if you have to unlock the watch whenever you want to use the watch.

I have it set up you don't have to put in the PIN everytime you look at your watch. Usually once in the morning and maybe once or twice the remainder of the day. Not sure what triggers it TBH, maybe inactivity. I was expecting it to be an annoyance it isn't that bad though.
It needs to be put in if you take off the watch and put back on
Normally only when you first wear it, but if your watch moves more freely on your hand it might think that you removed the watch so will request again the pin. Happens to me not more than once or twice during the day.

Yes. it's a pain. The lock should be only for Gpay/Spay, not entire watch

I agree whole heartedly. I came from a Galaxy Watch Active2 and a Galaxy Gear S3 Classic before that and you only had to unlock them for Samsung Pay and not to read or clear notifications, even if you didn't have them on. The lock thing is a bit of a pain, especially on a day that I don't wear my watch such as Sunday. What was Samsung thinking with this?
So I find once I've put the watch on and have unlocked, I dont need the PIN until I've taken out off then picked up.
