I created a VPN connection on my S3 but was forced to enter a PIN or a swipe pattern but now I am tired of having to unlock my phone everytime I wanna access it . I have put the auto lock to the max which is 30 mins but I still don't want my phone to be locked.
Is there a way to completely cancel any security / pin / pattern lock while keeping my VPN connection?
anybody home?
As far as I have read, no. There may be someone else to chime in with an app that bypasses it.
I wouldn't recommend it though, as part of the VPN your phone is "directly" connected to the computers and servers of the network you are connecting to. If it is a corporate network and someone who knows what they are doing should happen to find your phone, things could get ugly. The chances of that happening are slim, but enough to warrant the required lock.

Is there a way to keep the phone from not locking the screen and asking for my PIN number?
My employer is forcing me to install a certificate to be able to connect to the exchange server at work. And with this certificate comes a security policy that forces me to use the PIN-code lock. Furthermore the time setting for the lock is hardcoded to be as small as one minute.
This is way to short to be reasonable and I'm about to go nuts from having to enter my PIN-code over and over again.
So, is there an application out there that can solve my problem?
Like a G-sensor app that keeps the device alive as long as I'm having it in my hand and thus moving it?
Or perhaps a tweak or hack that can make me get at least 3 or 5 minutes before the device locks up...
Some advice would be appreciated!
I have the same problem. maybe there is a way to extend the locking time to more than 10 min!?
my company enforces 10 minutes, the problem with that is that even while driving and using tomtom it keeps locking!!!
Would love a work around for this, i dont mind it locking (i'd use this feature anyway), but it's stupid that it still forces a lock while using tomtom, how stupid!
Just in case u didn't find a solution yet. There is a small app that monitors the registry and prevents the locking. U only have to unlock the device like once a day. The name of the app is StayUnlock and u can check it here:

When we connect to an 802.1x EAP wireless network, our sensation force us to set a password or another security option. Is there a way to disable this annoying feature??
The password is a requirement of the network. It is not in the control of the connecting device, since this requirement is enforced by the network.
I connect to my Uni wi-fi in the same way.
Besides, after the first config, it never asks for the password again.
Hope this helps
No my problem is different, it's normal that a network requires a password, but it isn't normal that after the connection and also when not connected the phone forces me to set a pattern, pin or password in the lockscreen. It si due to a certificate, but I don't know how to disable this feature. It's the same on any android device, but for example in the iphone it doesn't exist (don't know on windows phone)
I had that a while ago, but not since rooted and using latest ICS ROM from HTC (ARHD)
I tried every kind of rom, CM9, miui, arhd, ordroid ecc. and the problem is still here...
My girl has a Bionic on VZW and a Nexus 7 Tablet. I installed FoxFi on the Bionic to hotspot for the Nexus 7. Thing is, after we were done and shut down FoxFi, all of the prior networks she had visited on the Bionic are now on the Nexus 7, passwords included. We didn't realize until she came to my house and the Nexus 7 automatically jumped on my network bypassing all security encryption when it had never been set up to gain access.
This raises the question that if someone jumps on your hotspot even if just for a second, can they potentially have access to every network you have saved in the past? Since there is no way to distiguish who is the actual owner of a device this can mean the casual aquaintance that asks to use your wifi really quick to check his email, or the friend you used to have, or the guy who jumps on your connection because you forgot to require a password, all now have unrestricted access to all of your systems you have ever been on.
Maybe I'm missing something but there is no toggle that I can see to turn this off and it seems to be a very major security hole. I understand the convenience factor but it should be able to be shut off to avoid information falling into the wrong hands. Anyone else notice this?
Hmm, I'll have to try it...
Either way, I never never share any network, mobile or not, with someone I dont know or trust.
Yea I'd be interested to know if it's device specific or a software feature. I do my best as well to protect my networks which is why I think software that gratuitously copies login credentials without consent are dangerous. Granted if you are just using it for your own secured device it is a nice feature I just want the option. Let me know what you find.
Will be interesting to see what comes of this.
So here's the deal... The circumstances don't really matter that much, but I recently had an iPod (5th gen running IOS7) stolen from me. iCloud location services have not been able to locate it or put it in lost mode because it hasn't connected to a wi-fi node for iCloud to tell it to do so. The device does have a passcode lock on it, and it requires my AppleID login to perform most tasks.
I had some pretty important data on there that hadn't yet Sync'ed to iCloud and without the device is unrecoverable, that and I just want the damn device back anyhow. I've worked out a rough plan on locating this thing...
My iPod is set to only connect automatically to my home network. Now that I've lost it, this seems like it was a terrible idea. The plan is to go "wardriving" using my phone (Samsung Galaxy Note II on T-Mobile running 4.1.2) as a clone for my home router. I've set it up with the same information (SSID, WPA key, broadcast channel, etc) as my router. I unplugged the router and everything in the house reconnected to my phone, so I know my plan will work assuming I can get in range of my device and it isn't dead.
My QUESTION is this:
Is there any way I can get logs of any attempted connections to my phone? I'd like to be able to record connection attempts and have it pull the GPS location data and store it alongside the connection info if possible... but as I'm not a dev or really skilled in coding, I have no idea how to accomplish this. I would like to have this information to provide police in the event that I'm able to get a rough location on the device.
Hey, strange question, but my school's WiFi network installs a credential which requires a lock screen. I like going without the lock screen, but if I disable the lock screen, when I disconnect from the network, I can't reconnect. Is there any way to fake it out get around it somehow? I also have a nexus 7 2013 and note 10.1 2014 with the same issue with no workaround.
Nope, but what u can do if ur on 6.0 is use smart lock, it's under security in settings, it uses location to set a lock or unlocked lockscreen, for instance I use it and set it so that when I'm home or when the device is in my pocket there is no lockscreen, but the device still registers as locked

Thanks. I already use smart lock when I'm paired with my gwatch/car radio/ headphones and just about anywhere on campus, but its still a pia when I go somewhere off campus
