[Q] [ICS] Pattern unlock dalay doesn't work - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If I use a pattern as a security option and the click "automatically lock" after 30 mins, it doesn't do it, instead it ask for a patter every single time I turn off-on the screen.
Anybody has this issue?

4.0.3 stock.
Thanks

Same here!

4.0.3

If im not mistaken, this option is only valid when you let the screen switch off itself and not press the power button to lock the screen. try it out.

I think you are right, I wonder why Google did this weird feature. iOS, WebOS, WP, Custom skins like Blur, sense? have a properly delayed Security Lock.
You set X time, and the security lock will be show X mins after you finished used the device including pushing the power button.

Remove pressing MENU after standby.

Wanted to know if anyone has found the source to do this yet the guy who made lock2.0 He has done it.http://groups.google.com/group/lock2/browse_thread/thread/13c69be014e196ac
Have you tried rebooting after installing? Other users are reporting success after doing that.
Donate version only has the menu screen removed. Works great on my phone. Worth the donation. At least until A_C starts developing for android.

it works, donated version thought. and now has a password feature, its beta right now..
Maybe I'm a little confused here, but here goes.
I've tried downloading the free version just to see how it works, but I have NO idea where the heck to get different skins for this app?
Am I just a bit "slow?"

FWIW, how would you have it so that you don't press menu in order to get the swipe screen up? You would need to have the screen on at all times.
The difference between the paid/free versions are a nag screen. That's it.

Can't find it myself. There's talks of a "Skin Manager" - but I can't find it.
I should note that the Free version removes the menu as well now. He's doing the free versions 1-update behind the donate version. I didn't need to reboot, it worked instantly.

Power button. Iirc (don't feel like changing it back). Menu or power take you to the locked screen, this just swaps that screen for a slide-to-unlock.

Right, but this was a question for aad4321. Either the free or paid versions allow you to press any key to get to the swipe screen.
So I managed to get the different zip files with the backgrounds and whatnot onto my SD card and still no love when I attempt to change the theme or battery logo.
It says that it was successfully changed, then nothing happens. i've tried rebooting since then with no success either.
I was really looking forward to this type of app, I just don't dig the skull screen and grey swipe bar.
Lock 2.0 is a neat idea, but currently pointless graphical fluff as you can bypass the slide to unlock simply by hitting the home key. So pressing any button on the phone (home, send, end, back, or menu), pressing menu, and pressing home unlocks the phone.
If you were to take out the G1 default "press menu to unlock" screen, then pressing home twice would unlock the phone even with lock 2.0 installed.
Not to mention the fact that right now, the lock 2.0 home screen doesn't show signal (or even whether you have phone service at all), and doesn't show notifications. So I'd still want the option of bringing up the default G1 "press menu to unlock screen" until that's remedied by Lock 2.0

Mine shows the signal (upper corner) and currently activated devices (cell location / etc).
My procedure for unlock is:
Power Button to turn screen on > Slide to Unlock
Now mind you, I could very easily do Menu > Menu with the default G1. But I like to turn my phone on to see the time. The fact the default G1 doesn't allow for a background (a feature that I thought they definately should have included) on the lock screen kinda gives this program a boost for usage.
As far as I know, that is the same procedure the iPhone has (you press the one circle button at the bottom).
Seems like you guys want the screen itself to turn on to the Slide-to-Unlock screen by the sense of touch ..?

Those buttons don't have that same feature for me (I'm using the free version). The most I get when pressing a button from the lock screen is a popup that says "Free Version". I have to slide to get to the home screen, or hit Menu > Home Screen.
hmmm.. that does not happens to me.. i just tried pressing home twice and it does not unlock.. im using the donated version maybe happens with the free? :/
Looks good, but definitely has a lot of room for improvement. The menu still comes up for me, so I have to press menu, then do the slide to get out. I don't need an extra keyguard screen... :/
*Edit: The version on the market is newer than that on the site, I just tried and the market one fixes this problem.
HOWEVER, there is one other problem keeping me from installing it permanently-- the screen doesn't stay off, it turns itself back on by flashing the "Free version" notification -.-
Once I get a new credit card I'll try the donation version, pretty sure that will fix the problem since it will not be "free".
With the latest version there is an option for a password lock. You have to enter the password to access the menu too. Right now the password is 1234 only for now but once it gets updated it could lock your phone safer than the normal android lock.

Don't talk unless you have tried the newest version, which fixes all of these issues.

Is there a widget or a shortcut that when pressed will lock the phone on the spot?

I have a 10minute delay until the pattern lock screen pops up but what if i wanted to lock the screen right away instead of waiting the 10 minutes, is there a widget or LaucherPro shorcut method to do this?
Go into settings then security and you can reset the delay time

i don't want to reset the delay. i want to keep the 10min delay and have the option to press something to immediately lock the phone.
Yes - found what your looking for!

Yes there is thank goodness. I wanted this myself - tired of pressing the power button to lock the screen. The widget is called Lock Screen Widget from the marketplace. Enjoy - I know I did.
i tried that widget but it doesn't work. just turns the screen off.
i should note that i'm also using "Lock Delay" but even with Lock Delay uninstalled, the Lock Screen widget doesn't work for me.
A lot of people are saying that Lock Delay doesn't work with 2.2 but i'm not having any problems aside from the lock pattern coming up at random times but thats ok, it's only once a while.
pressing the power button works fine for me it locks the screen
we all have different configurations though:
I have Lock Delay to accomplish the following:
1. Pattern Lock only comes on after 10minutes of inactivity
2. Pressing Power button to turn the screen off and then on again will not show the Slide To Unlock screen
This way If i'm going to use the phone on and off during a short period of time (10 minutse), I won't have to keep bothering with sliding to unlock the screen every time i turn the display on.
By default the slide to unlock screen always comes up.
Hmmm. Works for me

Thats exactly what i was thinking lol. As far as the OP idk. i know there are widgets that can turn the lock pattern on and off so if you were to turn off the delay and use that widget that kinda solves your problem
Try switch pro widget

that's what a lot of people have probably but the problem that i see with that is that you have to slide to unlock and pattern unlock EVERY time you turn the display back on. am i correct? because i currently have Lock Delay (app) that disables both slide and pattern locks during the first 10 minutes so i don't have to mess with them every time i want to use the phone.
SwitchPro doesn't work, it only brings me to the unlock settings screen, pressing back will cancel out of the lock.
Lock screen widget works for me

switch pro widget has that option and many more for the power widget

[Q] Bypass lockscreen and go to pattern lock

Is there a way to bypass the swipe up lock screen after initially turning the screen on and going directly to the pattern lock screen? Annoying to have to unlock twice. Automatically did this when enabling pattern lock on my previous phone.
Any apps for this?

if you disable the sense lock screen you will have my problem... where there is still a 'slide to unlock' screen to which you cannot get rid of either... you can try a program 'antilock' and set it to skip the lock screen... but it kind of swipes the screen for you and you still see the screen then it dissappears
painful i know but this kind of just how it is
As above there isn't much you can do about it with the stock sense rom. Sense just isn't designed that way. Rejoicing the sense lock screen replaces it with the aosp one and also breaks the alarm clock.
On the other hand Cyanogenmod lets you disable the lock screen when pattern lock is enabled and many other lock screen customizations. If you aren't into rooting your phone its not really an answer though.

Thanks guys. I am rooted, but no mods for this yet...
I too would like to remove lock screen so it can go straight to lock pattern. if you remove htclockscreen.apk you cant see who is calling you until you unlock screen. I think I read somewhere its because there no aosp roms out there for the sensation yet.
cant wait for cm on sensation...

Look in the edit build promp thread in dev section set the associated press menu to unlock string to true ans reboot.. Then just press the menu button which will rid the slide to unlock page almost instantly thereby allowing for faster access... I find it the best work around for now

wake screen

Is there a way to get the lock screen before the pattern screen?
for me, when i hit the wake button, it goes straight to the pattern screen. If i turn the pattern screen lock off, and i hit the wake button, it goes to the lock screen.
I just want it so that if i hit the wake button it would go lock screen then pass word pattern screen
Pretty sure you can only have one or the other.
That's weird. Mine always prompts the lock screen then my pattern screen. Thought this process was default.
Could try this. Go into settings>CM settings> lockscreen> unlock options
If skip on security is checked then uncheck it. That should prompt the lockscreen then pattern screen upon wake

One can only assume since cm is the majority. If you don't want assumptions then be specific on the details. General questions can arise numerous answers.

Can the lock screen app shortcuts be changed?

Does anyone know how to change which apps are shortcuts on the lock screen? Currently, I can drag the lock ring right to unlock, up for phone, left for camera, and down for text messaging. I'd like to replace the down shortcut with Google Voice.
I am running the JB soak test with root.
Thank you!

I asked the same question at androidforums in the Photon Q section there. From the answers I received (or lack thereof), my guess is that they can't be changed without changing the lock screen altogether. Apps like GoLocker (which I believe requires GoLauncher EX also be installed) or WidgetLocker (a paid app) will do the trick, but if there is a way to do it with an out-of-the-box phone, I have yet to find it.
Since I'm here, I'm wondering, does the Photon Q have the ability to turnt he lock screen off? as in, you can set the phone's home screen or whatever you were last doing to come up when you hit the power button to turn the screen back on, instead fo going tot he lock screen. I would assume that ability is retained, but since Moto apparently changed the lock screen, I wonder if they removed that function thoughtlessly, as some are known to do.
