I've never felt the need to put a pin/password/pattern on my lockscreen before, but today I tried enabling it for the heck of it. I found out that I couldn't. No matter which security setting I use it doesn't work. I'll set up a pin or anything else, lock my screen and when i press the power button it goes straight to my homescreen. How can I fix this?
What build are you running? Need more info

Sky Ics 4.2d-10
Don't know if this helps but, I used to have a corrupted partition caused by the Note modem that took away my lockscreen and extended power menu. Fixed it using Icenight's fix.
Do you need any other info?
Nope, already out of ideas....sorry
Kind of has me stumped. Mine work great as far as I know

You need to set the lock screen to immediate. It's in the options after you set a security lock screen

And how do i keep it from coming up? It shows up randomly while plugged in and it goes to it everytime i hit the home button. Ive tried resetting all defaults on any launchers and any accuweather apps. The only way i can get rid of it is to either hit the back button all the way to the home screen or reset the phone

I think that is your dock screen. I had that problem with a powerskin battery. The phone thought it was in a dock. I replaced the powerskin and it went away.

If you are running cm7 or cm9, check out this guide for dimming the screen, just set all the button values to zero and the soft buttons won't light up anymore.

you could always install MikG 3.11 and run Miktweaks which is built into the ROM; it has the option to disable the illumination for those buttons.

You've gone into the advanced settings and checked the adjust soft key box? Then set the frequency to always off.
You need to check lux to never be killed. Then bring up the dashboard and refresh you lux value and then the settings should stick. I've found that at night the capacitive keys turn back on though.

You can try the link button to match the settings to a particular lux value. Honestly it took a bit of trial and error to get the settings to stick.
Do the steps before open the dashboard, let it adjust the value. Set your default back light % and then link it. Mine eventually stuck. As I said at night they still come back on. Go figure !

You can just disasmble the screen and take out the light filters for the 4 keys! That's what I did.

Well, hit the wrong button so enjoy your free thanks.
Most ROMs are Power+Vol-, but some like SkyICS are Power+Home key.

Hello,
I got the JB update and now whenever I get a new email it loudly announces "new email". I'm sure it is obvious but I don't see where to shut that off.
Not sure if it is related but I also don't want it say "phonecall from 1-800-555-1212" or whatever number I'm getting a call from.
Thanks

Thanks - you are correct.
I've never noticed driving mode before but turning that off solved it.
For anyone looking for it,
1 slide your finger down from the top of your screen to get to your airplane mode, Bluetooth, GPS and other settings,
2 slide to the right and you'll find the driving mode option.
3 press it to turn on and off - off if you don't want the announcement.

My phone after many ROMS has lost the ability to locate itself. I'm not talking about gps either. It simply can't use any network to locate itself. Anyone encounter this or know what to do?

Explain what locating itself means and some of the steps you have already taken and did/didn't work. Elaborate a little bit more so I can understand the issue

I can confirm that every time I flash a new Rom it takes a long time (2-5min) to locate itself for the first time.I haven't paid to much attention to see if it's getting worst.

I have just learned to assume people are. Especially people who are the only ones reporting a problem.
Your phone will use triangulation(cell), gps and wifi for location. It is really hard for me to believe that all three of those have failed. So either your missing the glaringly obvious or you are the unluckiest person ever to own the Rocket.
OMG I've been through this nightmare and here is what I did:
Yes you know and you already did it but make sure and here is why:
There is a Green button in apps menu (Google Settings) that overrides all the maps locations, ads, searches and other junk. Go in there and toggle location settings on/off.
There is a Blue button in apps (Google Now) and have that on too for now until you get it working but the Green (Google settings) supersedes all and blue doesn't have to necessarily be on.
Good luck champ!
