I would like to completely skip the lock screen that has the shortcuts, etc that pops up soon as I hit the power button. I'm not talking about the lock screen with my password.
I've hunted and haven't found anything yet. That lock screen is not helpful to me. Maybe will have to wait on custom roms.
Thanks for any help.
Never mind ... Had to fix my typos.
Settings>Security. Put a check in the box next to "Bypass lock screen on wake".
Thanks so much. I've hunted and had tons of htc phones. How did I miss that.

Well, hopefully it does what you want. I played with it a bit here and it does work if the time you set to lock the phone has been reached. Just takes you directly to your pattern or pin lock. However, if that time hasn't passed, you still see the lock screen when you wake the phone up. At least that's how it works on mine.
Same here. Also, I still get the lock icon for two seconds then it auto skips to the lock pattern. Oh well. You're post was a big help though.

Just noticed what you're talking about. That initial lock screen pops up if it hasn't been 10 minutes.

That's odd. When I turn mine on it goes directly to pattern lock. I never see the first screen. Perhaps pattern lock and pin lock act differently. Don't know why they would though.
Yeah ... Love the phone but little things like this make it a pain at times. I like to hit the power button most of the time and go straight to my screen.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I use Tasker in combination with Secure Settings to do this. Wifi gets turned on automatically whenever it connects to the tower outside of town here. Then when I get home, it automatically connects to wifi (only if it's my wifi). When that happens, it turns off pattern lock. When I leave and the wifi disconnects, it turns pattern lock back on again. It's a little buggy on this phone though. Hit and miss it seems. I'm guessing it might have something to do with the way our root works so I'm waiting on s-off before I start trouble shooting it. It worked great on my Razr Maxx. Never missed.
Why push the power button? Just swipe up on the screen to unlock the phone and go directly to these home screen...
I hear ya. Yeah it gets a little old sweeping that much screen up 30 times a day just to get to my home screen. Going s off and custom ROM will help, as well.

I do not have this option in Security... why?
Do you have pattern lock or a pin lock set up? The option doesn't become available until you set up one of the various types of locks.

That makes sense - have pin lock, so nevermind.

A lockscreen activated by a combo keypress (vol up+down?) which locks the screen on whatever you're looking at including screen brightness and position, so you might hand your phone over to someone without accidently hitting back or having the screen shutoff whilst trying to show them a pic or what have you. I.E. a freeze frame. Then same keypress to unlock. Forgive me if this exists already, I didn't feel like searching kinda buzzed. Mostly want it for weapon, mostly.

Doesn't exist but for future reference, post things like this in the questions forum.
I have no idea what you're talking about? You just want a different combination to lock the phone other than the native lock button at the top of the phone?

I understand what you mean, but just set the screen timeout to a longer duration.

I think he wants quick access to this function though also he doesn't want the screen on all the time after he let's whoever borrow it. I think this would work better with toggles on screen more then anything

Freeze the phone screen on whatever is there not allowing screen timeout, screen position change, key or touchscreen presses (excluding activate and deactivate freeze frame). Basically freeze the phone in its current state until you resume.

Basically make it so the phone is unresponsive until the button combo is pressed again? It's out there, I'll look for it.
EDIT: I'm having a hard time finding it, but if I come across it, I'll post it.
Hello I am not sure at all what cause this problem but no matter what I do I cannot get my phone to have a lock screen. In fact I can't even to get it to slide in the beginning it just boots into my home screen and if I turn the screen on and off it goes straight back to the homescreen without me having to unlock anything. I've gone into the settings and made multiple types of passwords but none of them show up when I turn my screen on then off. I'm running paranoid android and any help would be nice

I've noticed a very subtle but strange behavior on KitKat generally. When I unlock my device, there is usually a smooth window animation that leads you into the home screen. However, if you access the camera by swiping right on the lock screen, the next time when you unlock the device, the animation seemed to be gone and just enter the home screen really quick. I set the window animation scale to 10x in developer option just to see if I was right and I found out that indeed when you enter the camera from lock screen, the animation is gone. It does come back after a reboot though. I am wondering if this happens to everyone or just me.

It is very subtle but somehow I just feel there is something acting differently.
Haven't seen anyone mentioned it yet so i thought I was the only one...
Bug confirmed, I had the same thing but not sure what's causing it.

Like others have said, this is a confirmed bug. An easy workaround though is to swipe left on the lock screen as if you're going to access the camera then quickly swiping right before it goes into the camera app. In other words, swipe left then right.
If it doesn't work for you after you try it, let me know and I'll try to be more specific.

Is there a app that doesn't lock the screen when the display turns off, I find it a bit annoying on android to turn on the phone, on symbian I just had to press any key to turn on the display without unlocking it, and lock it only using the lock key.
I prefer a app like LG G2's Knock On.

theres a kernel here what does what you want ,well i think it does

I don't want to upgrade to a CFW now. I prefer enjoying rhe phone on stock than to deal with minor hindrances which ruin the experience on a CFW, like the camera bug mentioned in the thread you quoted to.

You're out of luck then unfortunately, custom kernel is the only thing that offers it right now.

Such a basic thing that symbian had but android doesn't, I am disappointed with Google.

Just go to settings and set lock screen to none.

Thanks for the apps but with both the apps the phone gets locked after the screen turns off, I wanted a app that turns off the autolock of phone and just turns off the screen to save power. So I can press any key on the phone to see the screen without unlocking it each time.

I can press any key except the volume rockers which leaves the obvious power button and the home button will turn my screen on and with no lock screen it does what you want it to.

Does anyone know of a mod available to prevent the pin code lock screen from activating when pressing the power button to shut off the display?
Thanks in advance.

there is no option in settings for a delay?

There's a delay of up to 15 minutes for lock but it has no affect if the power button is pressed to put the screen off. If the power button is pressed it immediately locks.

I just tested it on mine and it didn't do what yours does. If I pick 15, hit power button, then immediately wake - no lock. If I pick immediately, it does just that.
Something's wonky with yours.
