This actually maybe more of a bug than a setting.
1) Do not setup your exchange account settings yet
2) go to menu > setting > security and set a screen unlock pattern
3) set up your exchange account settings and sync
3a) if your server security requires a pin unlock it will ask you now
3b) go ahead and setup a pin
4) now you'll notice when you turn on the screen you have to swipe down with the htc lock screen then a pin then a pattern unlock.
5) install lockpicker and disable the exchange screen password requirement
6) Now you will swipe down then do the pattern unlock
I hated typing in a pin every time i used my phone when i was on WM and find this is a decent alternative.
To change your lock pattern once you have everything set:
"to reset the unlock pattern, simply enter the wrong pattern 5 times, and then login with your google account. As soon as you've done that, then you are prompted for a new pattern." -- kitstable (Thanks!)
Also here's a nice widget to toggle your lock pattern

Hope it helps.

Follow the instructions as you will have to run the script to edit the mail.apk or email.apk depending on whether you are using ASOP or Sense client.
I am running this using the vael rom and it works very well.
Exactly what I was looking for thank you.
Thanks for that, just what I was looking for.
I started with a easy pattern, so found this out trying to change it - to reset the unlock pattern, simply enter the wrong pattern 5 times, and then login with your google account.
As soon as you've done that you're prompted for a new pattern.
Thank you.
You can grab Quick Settings off the market, this will allow you to toggle the pattern on and off, and change the pattern.
cant seem to change the unlock pattern with quick settings but putting in the wrong pattern 5 times then changing seems to work. Also found a cool widget called lockpattern onoff that allows you to toggle whether you want your lock pattern or not.

Very helpful. Thank you.
I followed the directions here and entered the password for Exchange when prompted. I let the screen go and went to unlock, but I didn't have the pattern unlock. I just typed in the password and that is it. Looking at the security settings I now see options for the password and not the visible pattern.
Do have to use a pin for this trick to work? Or did the latest OTA improve security?
You sure you set the patern unlock and verified it worked prior to setting up your exchange account?
With Froyo, I think this functionality is built-in (i.e, you can use pattern unlock for Exchange) without having to go through all the steps mentioned.
I remember being able to do this with one of the CM6 nightly builds.

Yes, I did verify it before syncing with Exchange. I also created a NAND backup before syncing and after verifying pattern unlock. And if I restore I will go back and it will prompt me to pattern unlock before going into phone.
So even though the Exchange guy told me its just a pin, it appears the policy on the mail server is requiring a password, something strong than just a pin. So I think that is why I am unable to make use of this.

are you running 2.1 or 2.2?
I have not tried this, but I am unable to use a pattern unlock by default because of the security requirements. I am only able to use pin/password. I'm on 2.2 rooted now.
What sucks since GOING to 2.2 is that I can't use Swype to unlock the phone. I didn't mind the password since I could draw it with Swype. I hate the password/pin stuff . . . WITHOUT Swype.
Anyway to reenable Swype's use for password entry on 2.2?
lockpicker says its not supported by 2.2. it worked great on 2.1, but i guess the new build really messed it up.
if the dev of lockpicker would make the app work with 2.2, I, and many other would donate pretty good, Im sure.
Or if another dev could make an optionin teh security tab to lock screen after , say, 24 hours of no activity, instead of 15 at teh longest, that would be great...
Just updated first post to reflect some development regarding this feature on 2.2

Swype works fine for me on 2.2. Just this method doesn't seem to work at all for me. I think the requirements from our Exchange policy are on the strict side.
There was a post on xda forums that used adb to go in and change the settings on the phone to force it to do what lockpicker did but this didn't require an app or even a background service to be running. I am unable to find that post now but I wonder if those same adb commands would work on 2.2. If so we wouldn't have to wait for lock picker to be updated and we could get rid of that background service and save some battery life. I can't remember what section it was in and searching returns too many duplicate posts making it very time consuming to look through that mess to find what I am looking for. If i ever find it I will link it in here.
I have this saved at work, I'll test and post it to see if it works.

I agree but there's nothing in android. 3rd party lock screen is the only way.
a fix for this would be good, as anyone can just pick up your phone and change any of the quick settings without unlocking it.
So you would not be able to track the phone if it got nicked and someone just stuck it in airplane mode!

does it matter if airplane mode is in quick settings or the main setting? if they want to steal your phone and put it into airplane mode, they will do it regardless if its in quick settings or the main settings. its stuff that you yourself use often that will appear in quick settings. i personally think its a great feature.

But they should not be able to do it while the phone is locked. At very least we should have the option of what should be accessible without unlocking the phone.

even if they were not in the quick settings, you can still pull down the notification bar while in the lockscreen, and go into the main settings. so, everything there is available to any thief.

Heck, I'm not even worried about the security situation with this, I just want to disable it because I think it is extremely poorly executed!
It offers nothing that power toggles doesn't, and is not even configurable for what options are present. I never use auto-rotate, cast screen, invert colors, etc, and yet, those options are available instantly!

They can also just remove the sim card or turn it off.
What I am looking for, is for the only possible thing you can do, while the phone is locked, is enter the password. Is there a way to set that up? Not be able to toggle any settings at all or remove the quick settings(I am ok with the emergency calling and camera widget, since you can't access the pictures on the phone until entering the password). I know they could still remove the sim or power off the phone but at least it might buy some more time if your phone gets stolen for you to track it or snap a pic of the thief. It would be nice if you could also disable the power menu and volume buttons while on the lock screen.
For now, until other solution is found or developed, you can go to notification settings and in 'When device is locked' change the setting to 'Hide sensitive notification content'. This disables access to quick settings from the lock screen but also hides titles of notifications, so you will see the notifications for emails, texts etc., but their content will be hidden.
This doesn't work. Well, if you have root and xposed you can install "Advanced Power Menu" to control the power menu on lockscreen etc and with GravityBox you can control the items on the quick settings. But I still couldn't figure out a way to totally disable it on the lockscreen.
As I remember the "X posed" Module "Notification Mod" could do exactly this. Problem is: It seems that development is discontinued and the stable ver1.2 doesn't (on my lollipop custom rom) work on 5.x

I am seeing this in my new Samsung S7 edge... with finger print and password lock.... it is not there on S5 with finger print and password lock... its a silly feature... why would they turn it on ? My son just put my phone in airplane mode accidentaly.... and I kept wondering why no messages and calls for the whole weekend.... hate to think what it would be like if it happened to someone who was say, on a on-call emergency personnel or something like that.... no one would be able to reach out to them.... I guess now have to keep checking my phone every hour.... hahahaha... or maybe go back to using my S5.. if someone has a solution to this pls share... appreciate it.
No way to disable access to quiick settings on lock screen on unrooted Android M....
Try the Market anyway,
One solution for me on Android 6.01 was to disable WiFi, Bluetooth, Airplane Mode, Mobile Data from Quick Settings using Systen UI Tuner in Settings then downloaded Settings Extended app at the Market and moved all mentioned in SE's Notification Shortcut. Don't forget to enable "HIDE LOCK SCREEN NOTIFICATION" in Preferences which is the objective of all this anyway. So don't forget to ｃｌｉｃｋ this.
You can even disable everything in Quick Settings and instead put them all in SE Notification as Shortcuts. What's great about SE is that its Notification gets the icon color/shade/background color/color when toggled etc. perfectly in Android 6. Exactly the same. It looks like its really part of the Notification Screen except that there's that horizontal gap that separates the notifications and makes the screen fiddle faddle.
Try it anyway. It might be your only hope against lock screen vulnerability in unrooted Android 6.0 phones.

I have the same problem with my S7. Its weird that you cant change the wifi or bluetooth without unlocking the phone but when you select mobile data or airplane mode you can turn that off from the lockscreen so when your phone gets stolen, the thief can so easy turn that off that there is no way to trace your phone. Why do they even call this a smart phone while its so dumb?

I must apologise first, I’m not a nerdy-head about android, but I was thinking about my new phone (upgraded to A7) and your question is one that I sought out for answers.
In Nougat, I logged in as Guest and used a pin for the user so that a ‘guest’ can’t access the Guest account without my permission.
Then comes you’re question.
You can remove all the worrisome quick start icons from your quick settings (probably leave flashlight). Then use a 3rd party app (Notification Toggle is mine) which isn’t available to a user from a protected login.
As I’ve never had a lollypop viable phone I’m afraid another user might need to help you with a more detailed method for A5.
Hope it helps somewhat. As an old 8080 machine code programmer, it was always about solving problems and then working the bugs out. I'm not even sure how to post on these - socially thingy’s.
This issue it's still there in Nougat, so before it is passed on to Android O, we have to POPULARIZE this issue so they(Android developers) know how big of a pain in the ass it is. I'm posting the complaints to every forum, magazine, fan page, etc. When it's on the social media, they have to do something. This issue has survived because people don't want their friends to know about it, coz it's partly embarrassing...
Hi, I am trying improve the security on my phone, There has been a recent report about a guy who was forced to enter his unlock screen password to border officials at the airport (although he didn't comply). This is a HUGE abuse of power and an even bigger violation of privacy.
I hope never to be in that situation, but if i am i want an easy way out so i am looking for the following solutions:
Entering a secret code / Pattern on the lockscreen that would trigger a factory reset
And / Or
A secret code / Pattern on the lockscreen that would load a "dummy" home Lanucher
as far as i can tell neither exist. Any help/Advice would be great, thanks
Just enter into the guest mode?
HOW??

How? I mean suppose that official is infront of you , how will you switch to gusest mode wihout letting him know .... i mean in power off option ?? or any other way?
What you are describing is similar to the plausible deniability mode of Truecrypt. However Android doesn't have this function natively, and I don't see how you can implement it without doing some major modification to the system.
What about bringing a secondary phone as a distraction instead?
There is already one major bug in Google Play services 7.0.97 reported by Android Police which alllows attackers to unlock the phone without any password since it takes around 15 ~ 20 seconds to re-apply the lock. Another hole seems that attackers could steal your phone if your phone just gets into the standby mode with disabled sceen. There are general known attacks with such smart-lock enabled function which allows to bypass the pin.
not sure if this is relevant , but on any phone i've owned with a 'swipe-down-status-bar' when phone is showing lock screen all i have to do is swipe the status bar down and can click on any icon to bypass lockscreen then back out of that setting , i.e. settings , apps , wifi , etc. and will be on home screen.
"all I can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"

That only works if you didn't set any password lock.
I have es file manager, and i zip and password protect files or folders wich i need but dont want people finding if my phone ever gets stolen. you can check that out.
Maybe there's gonna be something I oversee, but you could (easily) do this with Tasker.
You could use tasker to make an 'app' to login with a different profile on your android. By opening that app, you go into a self-defined stealth-mode, where you disable everything you want to hide and where you open a minimal homescreen.
Tasker + Secure Settings should have all the tools you need to set it up without destroying your real security.
Maybe dual booting to an empty ROM with sdcard access removed and only a small amount of fake information down on the device?
Would not help if they decided to copy your entire devices info for a close exam but should fool most guards into thinking you don't use your phone much.
Just reboot into that ROM at any time you think anyone would ever check.
Hi guys I was looking in YouTube any videos that can help me to by pass this samsung account. I bought a phone though ebay and I'm really frustrated because they didn't tell me that the phone has a Samsung account locked and it's requiring the old user to let me in. I check that you can by pass using the forgot password and Web browser technique but this phone doesn't let me touch anything just write the old Id. I need help by passing this because it's impossible to me to send it back it will cost lot of money because I live in other country. Hope guys can help me to discover how to by pass this thing I'm already getting crazy. Thanks

Why don't you just ask the person you bought it from for the password?
I did but he said he don't know that whY he sold it
He does not know maybe because its a stolen phone? He can somehow do a password reset via samsung account on any computer.
Once reset you can enter that password on ur phone
Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
Sounds stolen to me.
Definitely stolen. Demand a refund or threaten to report the guy if he doesn't.
The only way to bypass it is if you have access the the original owners email too. Resetting the password on a Samsung account in a browser just sends a new password to the email address that was used to register the Samsung account.
So you are out of luck.
OTOH, once you setup the phone from scratch (ie. do a factory reset) can't you just bypass setting up Google and Samsung accounts at the setup? If you disable all networks (ie. on airplane mode) the phone can't phone home to ask for the original users password. So you can keep using it as long as you have it in airplane mode. Just use it as a dumb phone and get your apks from your pc.
After 3 hours of touch and touch I definitely figure how to by pass this function in the Samsung Galaxy S6 Verizon version.
1. Proceed to go to the locked screen with wifi oN
2. Go to a place where you can write something When The keyboard appears check that you can see a a tools icon its located below at the side of sym button.
3.ok now we are in keyboard settings you need to scroll to the end and enter to the "adjust keyboard size" or " resize keyboard ".
4. In this section write something and then keep press the word that you put and select dictionary
5. Now find the way to access to Google now I don't remember the full process in this section lol
6.follow steps like login into you Google account when finished you will be in Google now
7. Keep your finger touched in the screen and move it to the right side and you will see you account logged "the Google account "
8. Touch the little arrow symbol in your Google account and go to the account manager.
9. Create a new Samsung account and bwaula!!!! Enjoy your phone XD

That really doesn't sound secure at all. It's meant to protect the phone from being used again. What's the point if it can be bypassed? I guess it's gonna be patched as soon as this method gets published around the place.

If you're running 5.1.1 then that method will not work any longer. It's been "fixed" so there is no useful options from tapping the words or attempting to get into the dictionary.

Hello Guys... i recently got a Galaxy S5 from Ebay that unfortunately was locked by a Samsung account due an abnormal factory reset... there are many ways to bypass this on previous versions of android but unfortunately mine has the last update OK3.. After many attempts to bypass this I was about to give up until i got an idea that finally worked..
In the previous versions of android it was very easy to do it because you could open a web browser very easy but in this update the people of Samsung remove all these options... but... they forgot one...
1. Basically what you have to do is connect to a free WIFI from any store that request you a sign in... for example in my work we have a guest wifi that is free but in order to make it work you need to enter some information like your name and email address...
2. Once you get to this screen enter the information and accept everything so you can log in to the WIFI.. after that a web browser will open and that's what you need!! if the browser do not open just try to select any text and press the search button so you can open the browser..
3. Once the browser is open go to the Playstore webpage, after this the Playstore application will open.
4. Enter your Gmail account and search the app EASYTOUCH
5. Download the app and run it... this app will open a floating bubble in your screen that will allow you to open any app on your phone or go to settings etc...
6. After this you will be able to do anything you want on your phone, well almost anything lol.. you wont be able to receive any calls... but you can make calls receive sms and also send sms... something is something
7.. I suggest downloading a Launcher like Cheeta and a screen locker like CM LOCK. Sometimes the bubble from Easytouch disappear and you wont be able to do anything unless you restarts your phone.
As you can see the whole point of this is to open a web browser so you can install any app from Playstore that will let you use your phone "normally". If the browsers doesn't open just select any text as you were trying to copy it but instead of pressing the copy button press the search button...
I'm sorry if my explanation was not clear... English is my second language....
Wouldn't it be much better to return the defective item to the eBay seller on the grounds that it was probably stolen, and then buy one that works?

Yes and No... 99% of the time yes it was stolen... but there is nothing I can do about that, actually it will be a lot of of rework on my side... i will have to open a case in ebay.. wait tons of days... send the phone.. get a refund... buy another one... wait like another week.... So I decided to keep it.... yes it may be wrong buying stolen phones... but I think there are worst things than that and you wont stop doing them... so.... just keep an eye on yours so it doesn't get stolen...

I have the S5 i bought from a friend, it has a reactivation lock on it, here is a simple way to work around it, once u have a launcher to access apps go to settings and force stop Samsung setup wizard, and Samsung account, then go to safty assistance and turn on emergency mode, then should be able to hold power and see 4 options one being emergency mode turn it off and bam at stock home screen, notification panal full access and can unlock developer options, just dont push home button
