[Q] Liberty 1.5 "Lock Screen After" Missing!

Just flashed to Liberty 1.5 (love it so far) - but the Screen Lock is killing me. My company requires a password from screen lock. I used to be able to set the "Lock Phone After" to 20-30 minutes, so even if I "locked" my Droid, it didn't require a password until after 30 minutes. Right now, everytime the screen locks (manually or automatically) I have to enter my password.
I didn't have this issue with Apex 1.3 or stock - it seems that option is missing in the admin?

i remember seeing it listed in the liberty 1.0 thread that there is no more screen lock timer.
I'm bummed that its gone too, it was a feature i really liked, although i am not made to use it.
If there is a way to get it back, I would really like to know too.

I also would like to know how to get this back.

Anyone know how to get this to the owners of Liberty?

Lock Screen
I didn't try the numbered lock screen, but the pattern lock screen worked fine. I was able to set it so it came up after the screen shut down. The only thing I saw them take out was the unlimited screen time out which is ok.

Unfortunately, my corporate policy via Lotus Traveler requires a password. If so everytime I turn off the screen the password locks. Should be able to lock screen without password lock unless time period has passed. Hoping there is a fix or work around. I've read this on other ROM threads...

I just setup a pattern lock on my Liberty 1.5 install and there was no option for setting a timeout time. How / where do you set the timeout?

settings > display > screen timeout?

Crazy lock screen problem

Whenever I set a lockscreen on my g3, knock for example, it works ONCE then reverts back so slide. (I also had lock when power is hit on) This a major problem so I'd like to get some help on this.

do you use a custom launcher?
Anyway i was playing around with it and got the result as you...the Knock code was working as it would turn on the phone, but if i pushed the power button it would default to slide. only thing i did was check the settings and apparently the "power button locks" did not stick so I unticked and cleared lock screen. then did it again and it stuck. works like it should now...
however this made the phone make lock noises.... must fix that now lol

Nope im on stock everything and it does the same thing for every type of lock. I'm hoping its just a bug that I can fix in the next OTA.

Issues when locked, in pocket...

Hi all!
I have the fingerprint locked option enabled. I find that sometimes, somehow the phone vibrates when it is in my pocket. When i take the phone out of my pocket, it will say fingerprint lock disabled. It's as though it is detecting the inside of pocket as a print, that's trying to unlock the phone. I also find that the flashlight turns it self on whilst it is in my pocket and also the bluetooth and wifi.
Is anyone having similar issues?
Finding it really annoying.

I've found some of my settings changed before, and I've noticed that the double tap to wake will work through thin material . . . like a jeans pocket.
When you put it in your pocket, turn the screen towards your body and see if that helps. Failing that, try disabling double tap to wake.
I've not had the fingerprint sensor disabled message myself, but the sensor can also trigger through thin material too. It obviously won't read any fingerprint, so if it happens a few times, it just temporarily disables the sensor.

I had to disable the double-tap to wake screen option as it was always triggering in my pocket (screen facing in). I only have screen lock set to swipe though so walking/climbing stairs was waking the screen, pulling down the notification panel and going to town changing settings. I even somehow managed to change the time display setting from 24 hour to 12 hour. I mean, how the hell can that happen in a short few minutes in a pocket?!
Glove mode is/was off if anyone thinks that might be the cause. No screen protector either.

I only have the sensor lock if my finger fails to unlock the phone after a few tries. Every time the fingerprint is not properly read it will vibrate, after about 4 go's, it locks and you need to type in your pin. I'm guessing something is pressing the power button in your pocket and it's trying to scan your finger but failing, so by the time you pull it out, it's locked itself!

I too had to diable double tap to wake because it kept coming on in my pocket. even if it does not get past the fingerpring lock it still wastes some battery.
it would be nice if something could be done in tasker to:
if phone is flat on table(accelerometer)
then enable double tap to wake.
else disable it.

DT2W is wayyy too sensible at the moment. I hope Sony will fix it. A touch or double touch shouldn't be detected through clothes when the screen is off.
That feature was perfectly tweaked on my OnePlus One running CM12.1, and I liked to use it

Yeah I find the screen touch, fingerprint and rotation all way too sensitive. I have already disabled 2 of them, fingerprint is next....

Ditto with the tap to wake frustratingly waking my phone constantly in my pocket. Never had the problem with the Z3. So many issues with this phone that were perfect on the Z3 feel like I've gone backwards.

same issue here, tap to wake activated and called the cops on me LOL...OMG

This is so annoying. My phone always wakes (through dt2w) when in my pocket and does weird stuff: changes settings, calls people, etc...

The one thing I found working for me is keeping the screen facing away from my body while in my pocket. It doesn't wake the phone up then.

I have this problem as well.

Try gravity screen app. It should turn off the screen in 1 second or less should it accidentally turn on while in the pocket.

This has bothered me loads so i've disabled the feature. You'd think they would make use of the light sensor to detect if the phone is in the pocket and then not unlock the phone on double-tab. There's the standard Google 'on-body' feature which can be used to disable security when the phone is detected as on your person.

and this is how a very useful feature quickly became most annoying issue... because of a defective light sensor or its faulty software development.
another thing I don't understand: if screen is locked, why notification access isn't ?!? at least they should put an option to enable or disable it.
sony customer care ?!?

That's actually standard Android behaviour would you believe - both Lollipop and Marshmallow. Don't expect a "fix" for this anytime soon...
It's configurable on iPhone though. Go iOS!

Phone bypasses lock screen on Swipe setting

Hey,
I've been using Swipe for my lock screen setting for the past 5 years - since I've had an s3. Just recently, within the past week or so, my phone isn't showing me my lock screen. I use my lock button or my phone goes to sleep for several minutes and when I wake up my phone, it's already unlocked.
To my knowledge, no settings have been changed and after googling I still can't figure out a reason why. I don't have location, bluetooth, smartstay, always on, none of that on.
Any help would be appreciated!

Pixel security flaw or just me?

My wife and I got a couple pixels back on black Friday, they've both been great. My wife switched from Apple so she enjoys pointing out all the things she doesn't like. She recently found one thing I can't explain. This works on both of our phones.
1. Phone locked, screen off
2. Press power button on side of phone. Phone goes to PIN unlock screen.
3. Try (unsuccessfully) to unlock using fingerprint scanner with an indirect finger. Use you pinky or whatever finger isn't loaded in your system yet
4. Message appears saying you've failed too many times, try again later
5. Swipe screen up.
6. Phone unlocks. Without ever entering your PIN!
Can anybody else repeat this? Google support chat is no help. I was told that if a factory reset doesn't solve the problem I would have to send the phones in for replacements.

Maybe you have smart unlock set up?

Mine doesn't do that. Swipe up after failing fingerprint gets me to PIN.

Smart lock
I have smart lock set to keep my phone unlocked at home, in my wife's car and when I have a set of ear buds connected. Neither of those three were near or connected when I tested this thoroughly last night at dinner and this morning at work

Mine doesn't do that. I have smart lock for my blue tooth devices.

My pixel does not do this,I get asked for my pin

Nope, I can't recreate this without smart lock being on. What happens if you just press the power button and then swipe up?

If you do your test in your home, it's normal to stay unlocked since you are in SAFE UNLOCK in your house.
