I have the Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3 and I downloaded the Clean Master and then there was an app called CM AppLock which is some kind of security. I was having problems & so I uninstalled the CM AppLock or so I thought I did but I am now not able to get into anything but 1 out of 4 app pages, my wifi has turned off, I am on airplane mode and can't change it because I cannot get to my 2nd page of app where my Tools icon is and I can't draw the pattern on the CM AppLock (which I uninstalled) because the pattern I picked is not working. I can't do the "forgot Password" at the top of the app because it requires wifi. My phone keeps talking to me at every time I touch it with dates and times and all kinds of numbers...can't get anything to work. Please help me!
1-You can turn off airplane mode by holding power button and select "disable airplane mode" in the upcomming screen. Also you can go to settings when you pull down the status bar twice, there will on the top settings icon appear.
2-Have you rebooted the phone?
3-install CM applock app again, then disable all locks and the uninstall the app.

EDIT: Tap on the left do open Recently Apps. Sorry!
Hi im the user of Samsung Galaxy S3 Korea LTE (E210L) using DA Rom V3 (Note 4 UI).
I just flashed my new rom, so im having this problem.
How to Disable the Tap on the Right of Notification to Lock Screen and on the left to open Recently Apps ?
Hold on the Right also open Phone Options (Power Off / Restart menu)
I tap on the right of the notification bar, and that area is fade on, more Fade-White color than other area, its a small rectangle area. Then, it lock the screen.
I don't know if it has been scripted to my rom or not, i haven't found any app in my phone can do that, even Hidden App.
I have searched Google, with any possible word, haven't found anything.
Tap Notification to Turn Off Screen, Fade, there is something and someway to make it could be added!
Anyone can disable this ? My Power Button haven't broken and i don't want tap to lock screen.
Thank you!
Help me please
Hello,
I'm having an issue where I'm stuck in 'Ultra Power Saving Mode'.
I was using the google launcher, not touch wiz. I entered UPSM and pressed the home buttom, at which point it asked me what default launcher to use. I selected google and now I only have access to limited apps. It's not the usual UPSM launcher.
When i go into settings only a few options are available (WiFi, Bluetooth etc) but nothing to allow me to exit Ultra Power Saving Mode.
I've tried flashing firmware via Odin (latest 6.01) but I'm still stuck in UPSM.
Does anyone know of a way out without without having to factory erase?
Thanks
Resolved?

Only solution I found was to wipe my phone
This worked for me: using package disabler pro, I uninstalled Google Now Launcher. After closing the app, I got back to the usual UPSM screen and was able to disable it.
Another way to get around this is to side load any other launcher and to choose samsung launcher when you open the new launcher.
Go into settings switch default launcher.
Go to the menu and find google app hold that app and move to the top of the screen and put that in the app info and tap Force stop now press the home button now it will again ask for the default launcher and now select touch wiz. That's it now you phone back to normal.

Ur screen shoud not lock if you hit the powerbutton?
Or if you hit the power button it should be locked but without the numbers?
Hello from France,
Same question for me!
I have a Mate 8, and I chose "password:none" in "settings/screen lock & passwords". But when I use the powerbutton to turn the screen OFF and ON, it still ask me to slide. Is it possible to remove this useless page?
Go to settings menu -> Advanced Settings -> Security -> 'Power button instantly locks'... (should be at the bottom of the page)
I have unchecked this option, so that when i press the power button it just switches screen off and does not lock.
I have additionally set the option next to it "Automatically lock", to 5 Minutes.. (So that i am presented with password lock screen after some time of inactivity, the time before that the power button will just switch on/off screen)
Note that these options are only available if you have set either a password, PIN, etc.
thank you !!!

How can I remove password from a Huawei mate 8
So I thought Id try this as I would also love to just press the power button and the main screen pops up (no lock screen) so I added a pin and unchecked Power button instantly locks, but this only means that it wont lock from the power button it will lock from between 1 min to 30 min after sleep.
The problem is that now when I try to put the password back to none its grayed out and faint writing saying "Disabled by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage" ive added and taken out the pin a few times in the past whilst using (or not) the fingerprint scanner, so why now can I not undo it ?
im on NXT-DL00 17B368
EMUI 4.1
Hope someone can help me
During the "Factory reset" process I don't "ok" the "password" or "finger print" options.
I never have the "lock screen" show up

I bought a Mediapad T3 with the same useless page. Enable Developer Options, under that there's an option "Screen Lock". Disable that, and then the display won't be locked with the requirement to swipe to unlock (which is useless, except for notifications).
Hello!
How/where did you enabled the "Developer Options" in Android 7.0/EMUI 5.1?
Thank you in advance!

How to disable lock screen
You can disable lock screen with apps like No Lock (BoD).
This works with my Honor 8 (Nougat)
Don't use PIN code or pattern lock.
No worck on EMUI 8.
I've just updated to CM 13 and realized that my phone could be unlocked without any lock screen displaying. Previously, I had a pattern set for my OPO so I was surprised the OTA update removed it. Undeterred, I tried every type of lock option to no avail. It saves the pattern, PIN or password as it requests for it whenever I return to the options screen. However, pressing the power button or double tapping the status bar only blanks out the screen. Pressing the power button or double tapping the screen immediately unlocks my phone, thus bypassing any unlock mode that I've set. Any ideas or anyone facing this strange issue?
Am I the only one facing this problem?
@uninformeduser
Pull down the status bar until you see the quick toggles then do this:
1. "Edit tiles"
2. + (on the top right)
3. add the "Lock screen" tile
It should be grey now (inactive). Tap on it to enable the lockscreen again.
This tile disables the lockscreen, regardless of your security setting.
If this method does not help, I guess your only help will be a factory reset.

Great! Now the lock screen works as expected. Strange that the lock screen tile is auto selected after an OTA upgrade and no indication in the settings as well (until I toggled the tile off and back on again).

Can't tell you much as I use CM13 and won't switch to COS13.
Check the keyboard settings, there should be an option for gesture typing.

Yup, first thing I did was to head there and toggle gesture typing. No luck there and no idea how it got broken as it stopped working after the OTA update.
So there is this app that if you use ADB, it can give you Android O's navigation bar...without root: Here
However, when I checked something off in one of the settings, something crashed my phone and sent me back to my lockscreen, now when I try to go to put in my passcode, it crashes before I have a chance to use it. The command I put in is this to get the app to let me use it: "pm grant xyz.paphonb.systemuituner android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS" but thats not what broke it, I think it was a setting where I tried to add a extra button. I dont think my navagation bar works anymore...
Is there a way to reverse this without resetting my phone back to default? Let me know if I need to give out anymore info.
Running Unlocked HTC One A9 on 7.0, stock/unrooted/unmodified.
Try to reboot in safe mode and uninstall that app?
With the phone powered off, press the power button. As soon as you see the HTC logo, release the power button and press and hold the volume down button until you're in the OS. It should now be in safe mode and hopefully that app shouldn't boot.
i had the same problem, after the compatibility test of that app (customized nav bar by paphonb),.. status/notification bar, navigation bar disappeared. and when I try to open an app, the phone freezes. Please help!
