Hey,
I have a question about Tasker and Secure Settings.
I woud love to know if its possible to set a timing on my smartphone to lock my device with a pincode and how.
If someone could help me with that, that would be awesome!

1. Go to settings > display.
2. Select "sleep" after how much ever time you want.
3. Go to settings> security
4. Select the screen lock, as password/ pattern
5. The phone will automatically lock after the given amount of time
Hope this helped.

Hi!
Is there an app to mute and turn off vibrate when I lock the device? My phone is my primary device, connected to the same accounts and I would like the tab to only make noises when I unlock it. So far I didnt find a setting or app for this. Could you help me?
Try tasker or locale

I use Silent Sleep

Tasker worked like a charm, but I will search for this silent sleep in the afternoon, I'm guessing it uses less resources since it's more specific
Does anyone know of an app that will turn my tablet screen on at a programmed time?
I have my tablet next to my bedside in a stand and I have an app that turns the screen off at 11pm.
My alarm app that goes off M-F at 6:25 turns my screen on for the alarm, etc, but on Sat/Sun, I don't use the alarm so I'd like something that just turns the screen on (no alarm) for those two mornings without me having to touch the tablet. I have searched high and low and there are tons of screen wake/on apps on Google play, but none of them do the one thing I want an app to do, which is to turn on the screen at a programmed time!
Has anyone seen anything like this anywhere?

I appreciate the help and I realize you're tapping this out on a phone, but I really don't understand what you're suggesting.
He means Tasker is the app you are looking for bro.

Download the app called Tasker and the plugin app called Secure Settings and you can set up a task to turn the screen on at any time. Another app similar to Tasker is Automagic Premium (might be a lite version also). Automagic can turn the screen on as well. Tasker and Automagic Premium both cost money. Secure Settings is free.

I've found the best lockscreen for Android: Temporary Phone Lock. When my boss enters the room, he sometimes grabs my phone just to piss me off and he goes through my pictures etc. Now that I have installed this app he is out of luck To unlock is very fast and not irritating at all. Also the standard lockscreen sometimes onlocks in my phone and starts to dail random numbers, also fixed that problem with this tool. Highly recommended! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.SocialMediaKickstart.TemporaryPhoneLockTrial
What makes it the best? Can you put widgets on the lock screen? And why would you use this instead of say the android lock screen when you can still use a number password in the android one????

You've got a terrible boss, he isn't allowed to do that.

So this app is to quickly toggle the lock screen? That way you can disable it when no one is around and then quickly enable in public?

My niece has a phone but she keeps forgetting the PIN or combination. What would be the options or instructions to disable those features and leave the Swipe option only?

settings > lockscreen > security (?)
"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
I mean disable those features so she can't choose it again in the future that Swipe is the only screen lock option to choose.

There are several ways to do, I don't know which one you prefer, the easierst would be to download the 'SMS bypass' (Cerberus or any other similar app can also do it but for just one feature SMS bypass is all what we want) which needs to be running in the background, that allows sending an reset sms from another phone e.g. '1234 reset'. After that your phone will be restarted and the pass will be reset to 1234.
But I not recommend to entirely disabled it generally because this would be an open door for other attacks.
I wouldnt mind. Its just a tablet full of games and ebooks. If theres a way to remove those features.

If she keeps turning it back on she may be just messing with you on purpose. -_- may be you should talk to her about that.
Not aware of any way to achieve that. Maybe you should choose "face recognition" as access module? She won't forget that credential
