hi
I would like to disable the pin lock on my nexus 4 when I'm at home
I tried many thinks(i.e. Tasker+SecureSettings) but pin lock is still activated and I'm thinking it might be due to my mail exchange account policy that forces the pin.
a by pass would be to be able to set the lock timeout to a high value when at home(so that I will only have to enter pin once), but don't know how to do in tasker\llama
so question is: Do you know a way to disable pin when exchange policy forces it?
thanks in advance for your help

I'm looking for some software that will lock my 8525 on demand, hopefully through a today screen plugin. The app MUST require a password for unlocking. I have found some apps like Start Nice and Omega 1-Pass, but they are both explicitly incompatible with WM5. An app that merely triggers the built-in password protection would suffice.
Thanks in advance!
the default password function shld help. go to Settings - Lock. select "Prompt for device unused for" and then select 0 minute from the drop down, click ok to save. whenever u power off ur device and power it back on, the password screen shld prompt.
I do not want to have to enter a password every time I take the device off standby. I want to have a 1 hour usage timeout and a lock-on-demand button on the today screen as well.
I use mortscript, I wrote a script that I linked to an icon on my today tray launch.
You could do the same on your WM5 device. Some of the clever folk on here could help you with a script for your device.
Password lock on demand
Does someone know how to creake a desktop icon that will activate the password lock? The default password lock function allows activation after a specified period of time but it would be better if the password protect is active only when the phone has to be left alone, not while it is on person.
Found an old thread....but no solution
There was some debate on the topic in the past but no satisfactory solution was found!

Hello,
The exchange password policy was pushed to my phone after setting up my work e-mail. This is fine and does not bother me. I am having trouble figuring out how to enable the lock feature before the timeout period so that I can lock my phone whenever I want vs. waiting for the timeout period.
I have gone to settings and lock and it does lock the keys but does not require my password to unlock the phone. Is this how it is supposed to behave? Any idea on how I can lock the phone on demand to password protect my device?
Thank you all.
not sure what version you have but the Verizon Wireless TP2 when lock is enabled under Settings Tab/All Settings/Personal Tab/Lock, it has Lock as the right softkey on the main screen.
I have the sprint version and when i go to Settings Tab/All Settings/Personal Tab/Lock the phone goes into lock mode and has the keypad displayed for me to enter the password. The issue is though that I don't need to enter my password to unlock the phone. As long as I hit the unlock soft key on the bottom left hand side the phone unlocks itself. I believe it should require me to input my password and then hit unlock.
Just an fyi I do have a password setup on my phone and it does work as I expect it to when the phone times out after 15 minutes and locks itself automatically. I just want to be able to do this without waiting.
if u go to all setting, personal, buttons, then end key, you can choose to display a quick list by holding the end key where you can select to lock the phone or just lock the phone by holding the end key.
Thank you! That worked and it is prompting me for the password to unlock the phone just as I needed.
glad 2 help
Hello and sorry for my english
Is there a way to lock the HD2 only on demand. If I use the lock screen with password, integrated in windows mobile, i have to type the password always when the display turn off, well the lock screen is activated. But i like to lock my phone with password only on demand. For example with a shortcut on my Home Screen. Otherwise i like to use the normal lock screen without password entry.
Thank you for answers.
Good idea. Can't say I've come across such a thing but I too would be interested.
Gentlemen-
Is there a way to bypass the lock screen selection portion of the device? I am trying to simply use my security screen (unlock pattern) to get into the phone. Currently I have to drag to unlock my security/unlock pattern screen before I can start accessing my device.
It can be done but not ideal. You can select, Never Lock under settings and General. Unfortunately even with local policy showing that a password for the device is required this completely bypasses needing to enter a password.
Is there a way to exempt a lock screen shortcut from needing the PIN to open? I want to do this for Google Now and the Camera.
Thanks
