Posted this in the LG section but have since rid of that phone for the S6.
I'm hoping to find a way to disable the lock screen when i'm at home or another trusted area, without the need for unnecessary GPS/Location usage as with what the 'smart lock' option demands. Also, without having to root the device.
On my S4 widgetsoid did this brilliantly right from the notification panel and it would coincide with the device locking features that were set.
For instance. Whenever i was home I'd disable by tapping the padlock icon. Then if i went out I'd just tap it again to enable it. If I forgot to enable it, the set time limit for the locking options would take control and eventually automatically lock the device on it's own.
Is there anything available like this? Widgetsoid needs system access for this feature to work now.

Not quite too sure how to name this thread, but is there anything like Sense for TW or AOSP where you can set a time out for how long until the screen lock shows up? This is different than the option that is currently present where it will not show a screen and go right back into whatever you had open if the power button or screen timeout is hit.
Sense would basically still show you the lock screen, but wouldn't prompt for the pin or password if within the time that you set.
Im running AOKP M1 and under security i have an option for
"automatically lock:"
with options for how many seeconds i want it to lock after it is in sleep mode.
you should be able to set your timeout option in display.
i dont think this helped you, but maybe you can play with the settings to do what you want. good lcuk, maybe someone will have a mroe helpful answer.
In theory if you set the timout display to a certain amount, and the automatically lock to a certain amount you might kind of find what youre looking for.

I want to use Pie control in conjunction with GMD's immersive mode but every time I lock my phone the accessibility switch for pie control always resets from on to off and pie control as an app ceases to function.
The same happens for GMD's immersive mode, it never stays on and the process seems to be destroyed every time I leave the phone locked for a while.
More questions:
Is there any way to get the pin code on the lockscreen to be minimized and have something like a slide to get to pin?
Notifications on lockscreen while you have a pincode/fingerprint id enabled?
Are both apps whitelisted to prevent closing when you lock the phone? I don't know what GMD is.
To get notifications on the lock screen they need to be enabled in Settings and for each app. I'm using the EMUI5/Nougat beta and don't remember where exactly each is at. It's something like Settings -> Notifications and Settings -> App respectively.
Hi,
i'm on OOS 5.1.6 with unlocked bootlader, official TWRP, and root via Magisk, also got xposed and a few modules (greenify being one of them).
Now the noob silly part: how comes that even if i set fingerprint security for lockscreen (with PIN security behind), if i turn off the screen via power button, and then wake it up (after more than 5secs!) with button again, i am presented with a lockscreen with no security and i can simply swipe up the lock icon and enter the phone?
I'm for sure missing something really obvious here, OR one of my modules (GB, Greenify) might interfere with the security?
Just to be clear: fingerprint unlocking WORKS flawlessly, but if i use the button it just shows the small lock icon that i can simply swipe-up.
Thanks!
Maybe you have enabled face unlock?
Do you have smart lock on? Trusted place or similar, smart watch etc. If one of those are on, it will let you unlock just with a swipe.
And the default time for this lock is 5 sec, see the settings icon right of display lock in settings - security
Thanks guys, i had for some reason Smart Lock enabled, and specifically trusted places (Home) taken from Google Maps. I could not disable it (well i could, but it reverted back as active) until i found under 'Trust Agents' Smart Lock (Google) and disabled it.
Weird.
Prevent instant lockscreen activation (Bring back "automatically lock after timeout")
Premise:
I moved from LineageOS to MIUI 11 since a couple of months and I was immediately bothered by having to unlock my phone every time, even if I used it one minute ago. I have face recognition and the fingerprint sensor is fast, but that doesen't help (trusted networks/devices neither in my case). Apparently, there is no option to lock the screen after a period of inactivity and the typical "solution" I've seen around was just disabling the lockscreen or using a third-party one.
So, after a bit of search I found an alternative, quite simple and yet a bit hidden.
It requires CustoMIUIzer (so yes, root, possibly with Magisk, and the EdXposed module) and Tasker.
In CustoMIUIzer you should go in System > Lock screen > Disable screen lock and select "Enable mod". If in the settings below you select "Disable completely" in "Disable screen lock" menu and turn on "Skip lock screen", when you will turn off and on your screen you will see that the lockscreen doesn't appear. You can put it back to "System default" but leave "Skip lock screen" enabled.
Now let's make this easier with Tasker, that has a plugin for CustoMIUIzer. The simplest way is making a button or shortcut in your launcher that you would press to disable and enable lockscreen manually when you want, without going everytime in CustoMIUIzer. The other way is automating the process with a couple of profiles (and tasks): the first one will trigger on display unlock, disable lockscreen and set a time (eg. 10min later) when the second one will trigger and enable lockscreen again. The second task could also be used to lock the screen manually.
For simplicity, I'll attach my files and screenshots. That's not necessarily the best setting, but it works well. I set the timeout to 10 minutes (in "lockOff", %TIMES+60*10). The task that disables lock ("lockOff") creates a toast notification when you turn on the screen, so you can remove the last three actions if everithing is working. Both profiles have to be active. Make sure that Tasker won't be killed by MIUI or battery savers, maybe lock it in recent apps.
I've only recently come across from Samsung so I don't know if this is normal or not.
On my Pixel 7 Pro, when the phone is locked, I can still swipe down the quick settings tiles and use them without unlocking.
I can switch off Bluetooth, wifi, auto rotate, I can even open Google Wallet but that obviously needs a password to pay.
Is there a simple way to disable quick settings from lock screen?
