[Q] Prevent Call Access on Secure Lockscreen - General Questions and Answers

Hey. I have an S4 i9500, running PAC Rom. I want to prevent people from being able to answer/disconnect the call from the lockscreen. Basically, no one should be able to answer the call without entering the PIN. While you can restrict access to almost everything using a PIN lock on the lock screen, it still lets people answer/disconnect the call, and see who's calling. I don't want it to be like that. Is there anyway I can restrict people from even seeing who's calling, and prevent them from being able to answer/reject the call without entering a PIN?
Is there any Xposed module, or any app for this?
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

That's a odd request.
It would be cool if you can do it.

Yeah, I just realized that I really need something like this. I don't care if the caller disconnects even before I answer the call because I took a lot of time to enter the PIN. I'd really like to have this feature.

Interference between SMS Pop up and noLED

So I've been running noLED on my Nexus S for a while now and just decided to add the app SMS Popup. The problem is that when my phone is sleeping and I get a text I no longer get the notification icon from noLED only, I also get the message pop up and the buttons on it (reply and close) stay active.
I wish that when my phone was sleeping and I got a text I only got the "notification light" from noLED and once I unlocked the screen I'd see the SMS pop up. Does anyone know of a way to reach that? Maybe another app would behave accordingly? Thanks
Under the miscellaneous setting in noled check the option to delay SMS notifications. Works great for me.
That said the pop-up won't be there when the phone is unlocked. Just for the I initial screen on.

Thanks for the tip but that doesn't really help me achieve what I want.
Maybe I could try another SMS program? (Handcent, etc) Opinions/experiences would be great.
I don't think the app matters. The way I understand it is noled will "dismiss " any popup occupying the screen in order to work.
Let me know if you find something though as its an option I'd love to have myself.

Tried Handcent, Chomp, tried even using Widget Locker and it was a no go.

[Q] Auto-lock phone after call.

Is there any way to auto lock the screen after a call? I've searched through quite a few forums and couldn't find anything. Basically my problem is I'm using a call blocking app and after I get a call and it rejects it my phone is left unlocked afterwards. This causes me quite a few priblems for me...calls being made I don't want, text messages getting sent, and settings getting changed. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Sorry if this is already answered but like I said I searched quite a bit and couldn't find any solutions. It just seems that if my phone was locked before a call it should stay locked after...
Try PoxLocker 3.0 if your phone has proximity sensor
Just guessing...but you should be able to do something with tasker

PIN Security

Is there a way to set the time interval before the phone asks for your PIN. Right now it asks every time you unlock the phone. I cant seem to see any settings to change that.
Thanks.
unfortunately there is but will only work until 2.1 . Google locked down the API used to access lock settings in 2.2 and above so until they write it into the code themselves or reverse that decision it looks like your not gonna find what you need sorry.
Man, that sucks. Thanks for the detailed answer.

I use an app called: no lock
I have a pin set up for my sim card, so I only have to enter it when I reboot.
But with no lock, after you're at your home screen, run the app once, then there's no swiping, puzzle or pin to enter. Until you reboot again.

How to stop notification sound when receiving a text

Hello,
My phone is on a montioring system that sends me a text when a system is having a problem. I need the alarm to be long and loud so I am positive to hear it even if sleeping. My problem is when I get one I want it to automatically stop making noise if I pick up my phone, sweep the screen saver or anything that indicates I'm going to look at the message.
How do I stop the text notification noise if I'm actually looking at my phone?
Thanks

Thanks - I'm not sure what you are trying to say. To be clear - i want the loud long notification for text - but I want it to shut off when I pick up my phone or touch my screen.

Thanks -no app - just native text messaging notification. I changed the default sound for text messages to a long loud notifications so I respond to emergency texts. I just want to be able to quickly shut them off when I get them.

Well after messing with the native messaging app I've come to the conclusion that its not that great
I'm running Verizon messaging when you hit the popup it kills the notification sound
It tried the kill service app but you cant kill what you can't see running

I don't know if this works for text messages but have you tried the 'turn over to mute' in motion settings? it works great for incoming phone calls.

[Q] Vibrate Mode

As a police officer I like to keep my phone on vibrate while working. However with it attached to my belt I can rarely feel it vibrate, and therefore I miss a number of calls and text unless I'm constantly checking it. I know on my old phone I was able to increase the vibration, as well as make it vibrate longer. I have searched through all the phone settings and don't see a way to do it, so I figured I'd ask here in case I'm missing something.
Thanks!!

If you install an app like sms pro, you can edit the vibrations ie, make them shorter or longer. At least that would take care of text messages. As far as other notifications, you might have to try tasker or use a custom rom

If you can, install CM 10. I have a developer edition so I don't know if you can.
