Hey there,
I am searching for an option to disable my screen lock (the password) and still be able to connect to a secured network.
If I want to log in to the wlan in my university it always says I need to secure the phone with a screen lock.
But I hate locking my phone this way. Is there a way to solve this issue?
Or at least to set the time of the activation of the screen lock over 15 minutes?
Thanks in advance..

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:

Hi,
I find it annoying having to use a pin or password to unlock my screen if I want/need to use my VPN on my phone.
Is there a way around this? If not, can anyone explain to me the reasoning behind the added security?
I'm running CM10.1, on a d2vzw
Thanks

Do you mean when you want to start the app, or that your vpn shuts down when your screen goes black?

I think he means that in order to add a VPN server (for the first time, at least), you must set some sort of lockscreen security. I am also trying to find a way to do this. I only need to connect occasionally, and I do not save my credentials, so I see no need for the added layer of security. I understand why it's there, but I'd like to be able to bypass it also.
My solution right now is to set up the VPN connection only when I need it and then delete the connection and remove lockscreen security when I'm done. Extremely clunky...
I use a school WiFi network that requires me to install certificates and since 4.3 that meant I had to have lock screen security set up (pin, password, pattern.) This is pretty darn annoying especially since android's pin security does not automatically unlock (have to press enter)
Is there a way I can override this? Perhaps a mod?

Hi all,
I've setup a VPN connection on my GNP but the tablet insists that I have to have a Lock Screen with either a PIN or Password security.
I don't have any lock screen on the tablet & I'd prefer to keep it that way, so has anyone managed to get round this so I can just use my VPN without having to faff around with a lock screen every time I use the GNP?
Thanks

Hi okloub, unfortunately I've had no luck with this too and have just gotten used to the PIN security. If you're willing to try the SQLite method, then you're a braver man than me
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
