[Q] disable pattern/pin/password lock from activation

hi, a friend of mine had a request to prevent the demo android phones placed at his shop from being locked by customers. how can i prevent the pattern/pin/password security locks from being activated, or how do i remove this feature from the demo phones?
thanks

Turn it off in settings???¿¿¿???
If you're talking about after it has been locked, reflash the software if it doesn't have a fastboot/bootloader/recovery reset.

If they're connected to wifi then install "unlock with wifi " on them and hide the app?

he's been doing reflash every time a phone has been locked, and its getting on his nerves as this happens almost on a daily basis. is there a way to rip the security pattern/pin/password functionality from the android framework? or is there any apk that we can remove from /system/app that will disable this functionality?

i think wifi is out of the question as he doesn't want passerbys to use his wifi connection for hacking/illegal purposes.

You can just lock down the WiFi with WPA2 and it will most likely not get broken into.

Download one of the many app locks and just password protect settings and then turn the pattern lock off..
//edit- Inside of the app lock see if you can only password protect display settings.. so customers can at least play with the other settings

Unlock with wifi is an app that uses trigger(a known wifi location) to unlock the screen...
It's not a tethering app.
So, what is this in reference to?
I'd expect that he might have a wireless router in a cell phone store already. And would know to encrypt it.

[Q] Custop ip setup

i just got my shiny one s today and tried to get wifi from my router, strange but theres no option or setting to do so, as it was on lets say desire hd, would you explain me how to to do that and whats going on, i installed wifi manager and it says something about changes google made its inaccessible now, thanks

Oh yea , that's strange. I just tested an app I used to use on my galaxy s2 called WiFi static and it works. Just open the app and go to add configuration and then generate and is all done for you. This app is handy because it will switch ip settings automatically when you log onto another wireless network.

You don't mean Settings > Wifi > Menu > (drop down options) Scan or Add Network or Advanced?

[Q] How to backup WiFi settings

I use my Xoom at work and the WiFi has to be setup by the IT guy because it is a restricted network. How can I save my wifi settings if I were to switch ROMs so I don't have to take it to the IT guy every time.
I think their was an option when first setting up the ROM, but I think I chose not to backup my stuff to Google. Can i recheck that option?
Thanks

google implemented this feature of wifi always on, (if off it is running in the background) to provide a better localization service, based on wifi networks localization near to you. eg in buildings localization acquiring is much faster!
you can disable this in advanced wifi settings!
