My beloved HTC HD2 is dying, so I ordered a new, no-contract phone. The Samsung Galaxy 2 4G seemed the best of the available options.
I've tried, repeatedly, to adjust "location and security" settings for "set screen lock" to NONE; however, it just won't take. I've tried setting a code, which does set, and then telling it none, but every time I turn on the phone, it wants me to swipe the screen to get to my apps.
Is this stupid thing part of Gingerbread? Part of Samsung? Fixable? (How, please?) Or am I stuck with it?
T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4G, no-contract
Model SGH-T959V
Gingerbread 2.3.6
Your stuck with it

Bummer.
Thanks much, though.
Use either free NoLock from market (a little glitchy) or Delayed Lock (paid but more reliable.)
I'm fairly sure that in CM7 you're able to bypass the lock screen via settings. I can't remember exactly, and I'm on CM9, so I can't go and check.

It was an option in tablet tweaks I do believe

Factory reset its an option too (of course you will lost data but use this as your last option)
don't think factory reset will work... everyone has to swipe the screen to get to the homescreen.

Should post this in the specific rom thread for help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=973173
**EDIT: NM....noticed that you already have.
I have used search..All morning. Not getting any useful answers using search so I asked. So anyone know how to remove stock lock screen? I heard that for some phones deleting the clock will also delete ur music app and mess up regular clock...hmm

I like to keep my phone locked, but it would be nice to be able to skip right to the camera app by pressing the shutter button. Anyone know of a way to set that up while leaving all non-camera apps in a locked mode? I realize i could also leave the main lock unlocked and use an app locker like Seal, but the ones i've looked at don't have an option to unlock all locked apps for a period of time after entering a passcode, which makes using apps cumbersome.
Your device should already do this as default behavior...?

You have to hold it down. I wasn't aware of this until Blue pointed it out to me.
I think he means when you have a pattern lock. He wants to be able to go straight to the camera with out having to put in his pattern, but still have to use the pattern to unlock the rest of the phone..I want to do this too.

Okay, yep, you are right - I was responding as I was waking up and making some coffee, didn't pick up on that.
Not sure how to make this work, other then re-writing the passcode part of the system to have an exception for the camera.

Exactly.
Or if I could find an app locker that can remember an overall unlocked state for all apps for given amount of time.

are you talking about settings, security, lock phone after,(then you choose how long you want the phone to stay unlock)?

No, I'm looking for an app locker that would let me globally unlock any locked apps for a period of time once I unlocked one.
Any Rom not based off the Stock DS Rom losses that awesome trick. Roms using HTC Sense can have the camera asigned to a quick launch. ICS is a slide to the left with the unlock ring.

Those options don't bypass a pattern or passcode lock, which is what i'm asking about.
Hi, I just got my t-mobile g2x as a replacement phone from t-mobile
everything is fine, except the signal bar's color is always "WHITE/GREY" regardless 2G/4G, when I was using G2, it should be like green-ish.
Is that totally normal?
I am running stock 2.3.3, with t-mobile contract, and I definitely already sync/connect to google server (background data), because when I search a lot of ppl just saying "you are not connect to google".
Alright, another thing bugging me is coming out
The phone kept shows the screen before lock breifly, when I unlock the screen
Not solvble again?
It's LG's ****ty coding no way around it if you're on stock to my knowledge

Yup. Their crappy overlay directs the signal icons to the same icon for connected and non connected through XML. You have to go change it manually. The lock screen is due to their animations overlay... Their overlays are a nightmare and very VERY shoddy work. Their "devs" are more worried about sticking their name in code rather then actually coding. If you decompile their apps you will find tons of errors....

Green bars means you are connected to google Talk. It's has nothing to do with sync. Try signing into google Talk and see what happens. . Took me a while to figure it out too.

You're wrong, "green bars" mean you are synced with Google and you have an active data connection. Try flashing CM7 or CM9, your bars will change colors when synced with Google.
O yes, you are right. Just tested it. Cool.
It seemed to me that whenever I sign into gtalk my bars will go green. It turns out that is not the case. Learning something new everyday.

This is the very reason I rooted my phone.
So annoying.
I have it in the apps list.
But in settings / security / screen unlock there is no selection like "face unlock".
Do I miss something, how do I use that?

I don't think the TF700 supports face unlock. Don't know why. Sorry. I haven't found any app for it either on stock, or am I just using my shortcuts too much? Mmmmh, should give the app list some TLC, I guess...
It was running on mine fine. I even showed it to my wife. She was impressed.

I thought I saw that too, but Face Unlock is no way to be found now, so where is it?
Not much of a loss, it's easily deceived, even by a printed picture of yourself.
Maybe they are waiting for the updated face detection. It waits for you to blink your eyes before it actually let's you in. Its suppose to be a work around for the picture thing.

Hi there,
I've been really happy with my Nexus 5 since buying it in February, but I've always been jealous of those notifications iPhone users get on their lockscreen... So I decided to look at many different lockscreen apps. However, and I've found this issue multiple times with Widgetlocker, SlideLock, etc. After installing, the apps work like normal; my stock lock screen is disabled and the other shows up in its place. But after a while, seemingly random, the lockscreen app fails to show the screen, and I often have to flip it on and off or even reinstall it to get it to show up again... Has anyone else had this problem and possibly knows of a solution? I'm running a rooted factory ROM. Thanks in advance!

Just get a ROM with lock screen notifications. There's a bunch with the feature.

Well, seems like app issues. No one here can really help with that. You'd need to go to app website or email the makers.

Try this if you don't want a custom ROM. Rather than "replacing" the default lockscreen with an app it overlays on top. You'll also need to install this first but do not add it as a Lockscreen Widget since NiLS Floating Panel overlays over the lockscreen without needing the Widget.
