I'm looking for a way to increase the automatic screen lock time for the Tab 2 (sch-i705). Does anyone know where I can find this setting in the system.img?
I'm happy with the display turning off automatically after a minute or so, but I want the device to lock after ~15 minutes after the display turns off.
Couldn't find anyone adjusting this setting on any ROM in my searches.

Hi, thanks for the advice. I'm not looking to change the display timeout settings - I would like to keep that short. I'm hoping to increase the lockscreen time. For example, I want the screen to go off after 1 minute, but the device to lock 15 minutes after the display goes off.
I'm assuming since this isn't a standard system setting, it might be adjustable in the ROM/system.img. Anyone know where I could find something like this?

Still trying to figure this out - any ideas on how I could do this in the system.img? Thanks for the help.

Hm, do you think I should move this to do the dev forum instead? Maybe someone over there would know..

no buddy no
you will be flamed for this as questions related threads are only posted here and not in dev forum
I'm wondering if there are any apps that could simulate what I'm trying to achieve. An app that keeps the tab unlocked, but allows the screen to turn off, would be perfect (as long as it also wasn't somehow sucking up resources or something).
Anyone have any other ideas? Or, better yet, know where I can modify this setting in the ROM?
Maybe moving this thread to the general QA would be a better idea, since this setting probably is particular to Android, not to the Galaxy Tab 2.. Any mods want to do that? Thanks

No need apps. Just go to setting > security > screen lock, select NONE.
Control how long display will turn off in setting > display.
Also, your question above, increase the lockscreen time, is in the same place, screen lock setting. search automatically lock.
Hope it helps

The issue here is that I would still like the device to be locked. I just want it to take longer to lock - ie 15 minutes to lock, but only 1 minute for the screen to turn off. Anyone know if there is a way to modify this at the ROM level?

Yes buddy, if i don't correctly understand what are you saying, there is an option for that in the settings. Just explore the settings once again, i have a different devices, maybe it's in different places.
and yes, if you want "automatically screen lock" setting comes up, you must in pattern/password/pin lock setting, not in slide or none.

The only option I have is to set 'screen timeout' . In order to conserve battery, I'd like the display to shut off after a minute or so.
Unfortunately, the amount of time it takes for the screen to lock, is tied to the display shut off - i.e. if the display shut off is set to a minute, the device will lock about 30 seconds after that, with no way to modify that time.
anyone know what's going on with this? after I updated with the OTA zip to Lolipop, the screen rotation option has disappeared completely.
So it's not there?

Enable and disable rotation a couple of times in settings and you will get it back.

It's neither in the quick settings, nor in the proper settings menu
i guess there is no other way but backup and factory reset
You need to go to Accessibility > Auto-rotate screen and enable it, then the icon will be shown on quick setting.

With Secure Settings (and Tasker) it will do pattern lock. I am doing this. The only difference between KK and L with secure settings is you have to go into the spanner icon > Pattern unlock method [4.1+] > Lock Settings (Experimental)

One thing I've had a few times though, if im locked then come in range of WiFi, it is still locked and the pattern doesn't unlock it, so I've had to turn the screen off and on again

I read somewhere (can't recall where) that, that is supposed to happen. You have to unlock first with pin/pattern then it should take affect but I too have only had this happen a couple times. The rest of the times it just simply unlocks.

Hmm. With the new experimental feature you mean?
But what I mean is it is broken sometimes. Doesn't accept the pattern. It shows the pattern path as correct and just hangs there, not unlocking, until I off and on the screen.
use the new play service apk and set location

Do you have Secure Settings?
And in secure setting do you have System+ Module enabled and set up as Device Admin?
What me and @rootSU were talking about is just a, you can say a bug, where the pattern is complete but it just hangs to unlock.You can see the pattern (Which I think sucks because someone else can see if you just leave your phone on that screen) but it just stays there. You lock your phone again and upon swiping the regular slide lock, there shouldn't be any prompt anymore and it should work fine after that.
I know using Tasker alone cause a lot of error like not disabling lock screen at all and just a blank screen sometimes.

With latest firmware (G930FXXU1APD1-G930FDBT1APC5-DBT) Im having problems when unlocking the device with fingerprint. It does not allow me, but instead I get:
“Enter pin instead of using fingerprint recognition because of security policy”
And I have to use the PIN.
This happens when locking the display with “lock wedged”. If the lock is made with button (power) ... or time out display. Then I can normally use the fingerprint.
Does someone also facing the problem?
Is there any solution – setting?
Best.

Yes i had this and tried to reset my fingerprints when i tried that settings error and closed, then i couldnt change anything, pin, fingerprints, couldnt even factory reset. Cause it always asked for my pin and after i entered it settings would error rebooting didnt help. Finally using android device manager from my pc i had to do an erase. My s7 is stock and it had nothing disable at the time this happen.

there might be extra Policy set on ur device.
go to setting > Security > click on Clear Credentials
+ also check what is ur device administrator
:good:
I had that even on my Nexus 6P when using Nova's double tap to lock feature. I think it's something to do with Marshmallow actually.

Clear credentials is not active.
Device Admin - APP is added.
So the error is still there.

You can try Samsung's Good Lock app from Galaxy Apps store or, if you live outside U.S., from apkmirror.com. It's a System UI update that allows fingerprint unlock with third party locking widgets.
@ avah
This actually works. But ... then I get totally different lock screen display etc... that I actually don’t like.
So ... till now ... no real solution.

Question.
Is it possible to flash the phone back to previous ROM version via Odin… and you won’t get Knox void .. or something else??
I'm thinking to go back to previous ROM when lock and fingerprint worked OK.

This is a duplicate of: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/help/security-policy-prevents-fingerprint-t3354270
You can find details on that thread about this problem.
I'm having the same issue and I must say it is very annoying. Can't really see any reason why this should interfere with the security. Should be my choice to be honest. Would be nice to have a solution to this. Looks like it's been an issue for a long time as well. Found some threads about the 6P for example with the same issue.
Try use other app to pass that policy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.luutinhit.doubletapscreenoff
When using app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.luutinhit.doubletapscreenoff please choose check box show clear view to fix this problem.

Yes but the problem still remains so it was a good initiative. I've got a brand new S7 and I find this very annoying. If I switch off my screen with Nova, I have to use fingerprint+PIN Code to unlock. If I switch it with physical buttons, I only have to use fingerprints..
Fixed
Search 4 knock on app on playstore.
Instal
Tap on create icon. Turn off the rest options
Fixed by installing a third party screen locker.

Your app is too many pop-up ads, so bad. I uninstall it quickly.
Hi there,
I tried to use screen off apps on my SS S8, but when unlocking, it requested PIN numbers instead of using the fingerprint.
The fingerprint only works if we lock screen using the physical button or after timeout.
Do you happen to know any workaround for this?
I read a thread on S7, suggesting using Nova launcher with Screen Lock widget. But, is there any setting we can change to use other apps?
Many thanks,
Nghia
That's general security setting of Android. Happens to me on my OnePlus 3 when it's locked by Greenify. Simply ditch those lock screen apps.

hello,
it is a know issue, try Double Tap to Turn Off, will solve this problem, I am using it and I can use iris, fingerprint, face and of course PIN.

I use nova launcher plus lock screen to double tap gesture. Works fine.
How do u set it up in Nova?
Figured it out, nevermind. At first I thought it was built into Nova, but found the app and set it up. Thx
I was wondering if there are other apps can fix this as well.
Many thanks!

Played around with that app a little more, you actually need to enable that "show clear view" option, what it does is it would show the time on the screen for about one second before showing the AOD screen.

Use "softkey edge" which is a edge app works perfect. U can use iris or fingerprint after lock the phone using this edge app. Also it do not use device admin access..
You can download from galaxy apps and not avail in play store

This one works for me:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gr.ictpro.jsalatas.screenoff
I tried those other ones and did not have luck.. either the app did allow fingerprint but did not turn the screen off in a reliable way.. or they required pin / password to unlock..
but just found this one and it works so far!

If this is still a question for anyone:
With nova launcher, you need to give it accessebility permission and choose in the nova settings to use a different lock screen method
The setting can be found in the nova settings by scrolling all the way down and choosing the last option in the advanced settings... Each option has an explanation for how it lockes the screen
