Oh yeah.. Guys. I found a weird thing with my phone and I need help. I am running ADW launcher EX and even after uninstalling etc, the screen lock pattern won't work. It only appears once when I reboot my phone and when I turn off the screen and turn it back on, it just brings me to the page I left without the screen lock pattern. Anyone knows what's wrong??
Thanks for the understanding.. I know all you guys were great from the start! Btw, I need help with my phone. My Unlock pattern won't show up and it's bothering me. It will only appear when I boot up the phone and for the rest of the time, it won't appear when I turn on my screen and it brings me straight to my home page. Do you guys know what's the problem?
What is your security lock time out set to?

Damn, thanks. I looked at it and found out it was set to 30 minutes.
This only happened a minute ago, but a reboot put things back to normal, just thought id ask if others have seen this or if this a normal issue.
if i press the power button to turn off and then again to turn on it stays like that. maybe its just a glitch or something.
I had exactly the same problem.

You dont have to turn off your phone. Try just to unlock screen, like you would do when screen looks normal (pull the ring from the bottom of the screen, even when the ring is not there). It will disappear eventually
Try a hard key reset to eliminate any bugs in it...maybe it will help. Still waiting for mine to be delivered
ya it unlocks like normal but, stays like that tell i reboot the phone. ohh well not a big deal to me just glad im not the only one.
Just more reason to dream of custom roms.
I have had the same problem twice in the last few days...
I am using the 20130730 nightly with recommended radio and everything is working perfectly except the lock screen. No matter what I pick (none, password, pin, slide) it always behaves as none. I manually push power button to lock it and then power again so lock screen option is used and it doesn't work. The phone just goes to home screen as if none is picked.
Thanks in advance...

Hello there,
I have the same problem on my Galaxy S2 (GT-i9100) with latest stable CM10.1.3, I have disabled the Face Lock apk since I don't use it, but I'm sure it is related. I think the problem might be from Handcent SMS, I already had problems with it (in CM9.1, it sometimes didn't run the lockscreen when I was in a chat window, I had to go back to my launcher for my phone to run the lockscreen. It might be related to popup management ?).
I guess a simple reboot is enough, if I have some time I'll ADB that
Hi All,
I was hoping you guy might be able to help me out.
The LG G3 is awesome, i love being able to turn the screen on and off without using any buttons.
One bit that i think could use some work is that currently, when the screen is on, you can tap the notification bar twice to turn the screen off, however, i find that this doesnt work so well all the time.
I have Nova launcher and i wanted to link a two finger swipe gesture with an app to turn the screen off however...
All the apps on the store only seem to offer you the option to turn the screen off and lock the phone immediately at the same time. Does anyone know of an app that will let me turn the screen off, but NOT lock the phone immediately, and just leave the lock settings to the system defaults.
It seems pretty straight forward but i've tried about 30 apps on the store and all of them only screen off and lock, none allow you to do it without locking the phone immediately.
Any help would be really appreciated!

Maybe try a tasker profile?

Thanks for the idea. I just tried and had no joy. It can trigger an action when i turn the screen off myself, but it wont turn the screen off for me.
Any other ideas?
I feel like this is so straight forward and that i'm just being super dense - im hoping someone points something so obvious and straight forward out that i missed!

You could try an app like Button Savior. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smart.swkey.nonroot
It has the option to swipe from the side to bring up the buttons, and from what I understand, the power button on it is exactly the same action as pressing the power button on your phone. You could tweak it to try and get it to the solution you want, but I think at least the button should be what you are looking for.

Thanks - just tried it and it is suffers from the same thing - it automatically locks the phone when you press the power button.

My phone seems to do the same action either way. I think I know what you are talking about. It seems that on previous roms, the screen could go dark, but if I woke the phone back up it wasn't actually locked. What about this app? It seems to distinguish between the two.

Here is another one you could potentially try. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ericlpchow.screentrigger
Tried both of the above... Neither seem to work!

I use "No Lock" when I want to switch off the phone but bypass lock settings when I turn it on. Is that what you mean?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jraf.android.nolock&hl=en
Hi, Thanks for the suggestion... The problem with that app is that the phone won't lock until I go back in and disable it... I want the phone to use the same system timeout so if I do leave my phone lying around it will lock after 3 or 5 minutes on its own.

Take this.
Note: Needs Root
Not sure it it covers your needs, but I'm using SkipLock combined with Gravity Screen
SkipLock let's you bypass the lockscreen (and pincode) when your phone is connected to either a trusted WIFI network or a trusted BT-device (carkit!).
As soon as you get home you'll turn on your screen and you the lockscreen as usual, but from that point on it's lockscreen free until it disconnects with your wifi network.
So when you turn off the screen the screen goes black, but as soon as you turn it on again you'll see either the homescreen or your last opened app.
It works really GREAT!
Gravity screen is not needed but makes it even easier. It automatically turns your screen on when you pick up the phone, and turns it off when you place it down (configurable). It also features Pocket Mode so it will turn the screen off when you put it in your pocket and on again when you take it out. Worst part was getting used to NOT press the power-button anymore

Hi, Thanks for the suggestion - i just tried the app and it has a non-root version, but that just basically turns the screen black, leaves the notification bar and navi buttons and doesnt actuall replicate pressing the power button.
I cant root my phone either as i need to use banking apps and these dont work with root.
Any other ideas?

This sounds like a cool set of apps, but I'm quite pedantic about my phone and the way it uses battery and with all the sensors working. I'm not sure its right for me, but its cool none-the-less.

Skiplock doesn't use up any battery. Gravity MIGHT, but there are options to choose that use up more or less battery.
Don't know about needing root though...
Hi, I have been looking for this too....no solution? I use the trusted places and devices to keep my phone unlocked when i am home, and when in the car (connected to bluetooth) but of course turning off the screen also locks it.
SkipLock isn't compatible with my Lollipop G3 - any solutions that work on Lollipop? I've been using Tasker but somethings it messes up things a bit so I would like to try something else
I have my Smart Lock enabled on my phone with my watch as a trusted device, and several times a day it randomly stops working. Rebooting fixes it for a while.
Anyone one else experiencing this and have found a fix?
I read on Reddit that the March security update broke something and there is no fix yet.
I try to go into it and it doesn't give me any options to add devices, places, or anything like that.
Wonder if this may be one reason why some are having troubles...

Try pressing Power + Volume up to bring up the power menu, then press lockdown. Enter your screen lock code and then hopefully your smart lock options should be available again. It worked whne this happened to me.

That worked. Thanks!
Thx, had this same problem on my 6a, even after upgrading to April update.
But honestly I always have some kind of issue with Smart Lock...
The reason why Google doesn't allow this when connected to a trusted WiFi network is beyond my understanding...
Have issues with Smart Lock all the time. Have it set so that my phone remains unlocked at home and in the car and it really only seems to work 50% of the time which is just annoying.
