I switched on the pattern unlock, now I dont want it... i unchecked it in settings and it is still there... sometimes i get the regular lock screen and then I will wake it up and it will have the pattern unlock!! btw the phone is completely stock. has any one had this problem? i have also did battery pulls to no avail!!
hah, sounds like mine. i have mine set to on and unless i press the power button to shut the screen off then it doesnt work.
if i let the screen time out the pattern lock doesnt work and its just the regular swipe screen.

You need to change the time out settings to immediately (settings,location and security,time out)
Original post,
You have to press on the menu item change screen lock enter your pattern then select none

Thanks, mine are set that way. it can sit for a hour or overnight and do the same thing.
That's not normal at all lol. There are two settings for time out....one under display and the other under security (just in case )
Otherwise who knows...sounds like you have a bunk unit

Test:
Set a password or pattern for you lock screen.
While locked place on dock
Hit power button on and off and it auto unlocks
Not good when you have snoopy girls in bed....
Has anyone else had this issue? If so is there a fix?

I just tried. Not experiencing the same problem. Mine still asks for pin to unlock. Running stock with Gingerbread update.
I've seen it, but it's really random. Works right sometimes, doesn't other. Usually, when the bypass happens, if I hit home from an app, it will go back to the lockscreen.
Just tried it on stock with ota. It does it too. When in dock hit the power button on and off. Then hit back button and auto unlock. Kind of annoying.

Remedy for this situation - find less snoopy girls.
On a serious note, I can confirm this too on Humble 5.0.

My experience has always been the first time you unlock it while docked, it stays unlocked the whole time. Anytime you use the power button after that doesn't lock it.
It's worked this way since launch. FWIW, this isn't how the Moto Droid behaved and I wasn't used to the Charge's behavior at first (less secure).

That's true, but that's not even what this is talking about. Sometimes (about 1 in 5 for me), it won't even ask you to unlock when you dock it. It will just go straight to the dock app. A lot of times I'll see the unlock screen flash and then be replaced by the dock app running on top of it. Sometimes after that, you will actually get the lock screen if you hit the home button again, but sometimes you won't. If you don't hit the home button at all, you can use the launcher function in the dock to get to the home screen without having to go through the lock screen.
You know what? I'm running the AOSP clock, which has the AOSP dock app. I totally forgot that the Charge ships with a different one. Regardless, I never liked the way the dock app functioned on the Charge. That was my bad.
Even though the dock app automatically displays, the lock screen will only appear the first time you try to do anything else on the phone. Hitting the power button never re-locked it - whether it was AOSP or Samsung. I personally prefer the CM variant of the clock apk.
Easy fix, don't use the dock

i know there is a setting to use the volume rocker buttons as unlock buttons, but that does not always work, but besides that is there anyway on the g2x to lock the screen but not have to use any button to unlock it? any app that will let you swipe a pattern to unlock the phone when the screen is off?

How would this be possible? If the screen is off, you can't use it, and thus you can't input anything, and if you can't use any buttons, then there's no way you can unlock it. What are you thinking about, voice recognition?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
no, i still want the phone to lock, i just dont want to have to push any buttons to get it to unlock, for the screen to come back on.
for example, i had a nokia nuron that had a slide switch on the side that would lock the phone, it turned the touchscreen off so you didnt accidentally start something. but it also had a screen timeout that would just blank the screen, then you could touch it and it would come back on without having to use the slide switch
i want to blank the screen without locking it. turning off screen lock you still have to use the button to turn the screen back on
I'm speechless!

This would also cause another problem. The screen being blank but still active would kill the battery really quickly.

well thats true, but it did work like that on my nokia. but really how much more battery would it use if the screen blanks but doesnt sleep? not anymore than if i was using it, probably even less
oh well, guess its just wishful thinking
How can you lock something, and use nothing to unlock it?
For example, you use a key to lock your door, you must use a key to unlock it. Or, you can leave the door open (leave the screen blank), but risk getting robbed (battery drained). I'm sorry if the analogy is bad, what you're asking for is ridiculous.

ok, i think what im doing is confusing blanking the screen with locking the phone, 2 different things. im just concerned that button is gonna get a lot of use and wish the volume rocker wake would work better. oh well
thanks for everyone's input, was just hoping
Blanking the screen like it reduces the brightness after a while? If so, there might be an app for it, but it will definitely reduce your battery greatly.
Either way, don't worry about the button. You probably won't have the phone that long, or you'll break something different.

I usually have to press the lock button twice to lock or unlock the screen.
Does this happen to anyone else?

I dont think the button is wearing out, I think its how its suppose to work, I have a Samsung Focus 1.3 and it needs to clicks to wake up from when I click the button to turn it off. However when it shuts off on its own, I only need one click to wake it up.
I did test this for about a week because I never noticed until I saw this post about a week ago.
Who was the wise guy who thought that the notification tray didn't need to be locked with the rest of the screen?
After the ICS update, it seems that my notification tray is sometimes open when I pull the phone out of my pants' pocket. Since this isn't just a notification tray anymore and one can actually do sensitive actions over there, not to mention accidentally closing important notifications, I would say this is a very bad idea. I couldn't find any option to turn this "feature" off.

Well you should not have upgrades to ICS then or done the proper research into what was in ICS cause that is part of the 4.0 Android OS now. Me personally I love it.
So, you are saying there is no way to turn this off? It seems very strange to not have an option for this..

If you enable a screen lock then it will disable that function. Otherwise, it's actually a nice feature to have IMO.

OK, so I set up a pattern now and the issue is solved. But now I have 2 lockscreens instead of 1 :-( . Wasn't there supposed to be an option to unlock the screen straight to desktop (pattern in my case)?

Nope. You don't have two lockscreens, you have a lockscreen and a security screen. It's performing normally.
I know there is nothing actually wrong with this, but it just makes the phone harder to use. I mean slower to make a quick phone call, or quickly open an IM app and reply.
usually..
usually you can disable it, if you have the development function on your htc settings for ics, usually there is a function in the lockscreen part where it asks you to keep taskbar on top or untouchable after lockscreen is on.. try to look on accessibility and security or else download 'rom toolbox' and there should be a function where it allows u to enable or disable this function

Um... besides, you can't "do" anything with it unless you touch the screen. Are you touching the screen while the phone is in your pocket?

I keep my phone with the screen facing my leg and when there's moisture in my pocket, like in the summer for instance, I'm pretty sure things are happening that aren't supposed to happen
Also, the power button is somehow positioned that sitting down in the car for example accidentally pushes on it.
You could argue that only tight pants cause this issue, but c'moon
I've had several occasions where I would take out the phone from my pocket and find some app being open and doing stuff...

Buy an Incipio NGP case, which has a reinforced power button cover.
Never again will you have accidental power-button presses.
It's silly that you want to get rid of such a great feature. My phone always faces my leg in my pocket, and in the 10 months that I've owned my phone, I have NEVER pulled my phone out with the phone unlocked by my pocket.
Thinking more and more about it, it does seem to be a nice feature. I might give it a second chance, despite that only having it for 1 day and already found it open by mistake....

I've thought about that but the shape doesn't help at all... Also, the power button would be even more prone to accidental press.

Hey, just got official Samsung LED cover which is real nice but what I don't like is having security set to lock the phone after 5 minutes I got the phone locked each time I close the lead. So I need to unlock it every time after.
Is there a way for the cover to use my settings? It looks like it acts just like power button which force locks the phone (and I do what to keep this behavior for the button).

I guess you have to compromise. Set your auto lock to a shorter time.
I do think the LED case is awesome and the close/lock is not an issue to me. But I do see how it could be a problem to some.

I'm pretty sure there are separate settings for some accessories including the LED cover.
I'm sure I have seen some settings on my dad's S7 Edge and he uses the S-View flip cover with it. I will have to recheck his phone...

There's a LED pattern editor to it but nothing else I found so far.
Sorry off topic but still has to do with the led cover.
Anyone pair the led view case with the whitestone dome glass screen protector? Just want a simple yes they are compatible or no, it will lift the protector is fine. Thanks
LED cover no longer locks the phone

Hey Desperex, I had the same problem with my Note 9 but I found a setting that make the cover not lock the device anymore:
Settings -> Biometrics and Security -> Other security settings -> Device admin apps -> Google Pay. If Google Pay is on, the screen will be locked, if off, it won't.
Hope it works for you too!
