[APP] Lock 2.0 unusable on Nexus One

I have had the payed version of Lock 2.0 since there was an option to buy but since I got my Nexus One it has now become pretty much unusable. The sad part is that it is better than the lock button that is on the top of the phone cause it lets you bring up the lock screen by pressing your track ball. I love all the different back grounds and sounds you can download and how they stay in a folder and not in your app draw (which is really annoying). Now the thing I don't like is that when you press the volume buttons when the phone is locked you can and will turn down or up the volume on accident and this is why this app is now unusable. Can it really be that hard to add an option to disable these buttons? I have emailed Android Apps and they say the reason the volume button does that is for when you are listening to music and thats great but whats the use if when you get a call or text and you can't hear it cause you turned the volume down to 0 on accident. I emailed them today again and asked if they could update their app and I hope they do. The reason I started this thread is so anybody could comment on this problem with I have to say is probably my second favorite app on the market. I will also email them a link to this thread so they can see what everybody thinks. One more thing on another lock app LockBot when you press the volume button the sound does not get turned down but I don't want to really pay for two apps that can do the same thing. Edit: OK they fixed it but their is a new problem with the home button.

What rom are you using?
Cyanogens latest has an option for trackball wake-up (and of course that mod can be applied to other roms as well) if that is indeed the biggest thing about it you like. I personally never saw the need to change my lockscreen from stock, but can understand why some people do.

I am using the stock rom, I didn't want to root this phone since you void your warranty and mine is pretty messed up I should get a replacement this week. Also I am glad Cyanogen added that and that tells you it is a problem in the stock or he wouldn't have had to improve on it. So people like me only have the option of downloading an app to get the same results. Also I have used a rooted phone before, I had been using my Google Ion rooted for about 6 months before I got my Nexus One.

Ok I just got an email from the developer and they have disabled the volume buttons by default on the new version that was fast. Now there is a weird problem where even after you set the Launcher as the default for your home button it still keeps opening Lock 2.0, its really annoying but I already told them so I'm sure they will fix it. Now if only Google would respond like this for their "Support Forums" on fixing the 3G and Touchscreen problems the world would be a better place.

I understand the issue with the volume keys. I don't listen to music so i installed the app (ringer mode locker) by kaa from the market. It overrides the system setting and locks on your choose of settings: vibrate, ringer silent etc. If you volume up or down it stays on you set point. I like if because it is not a background app using extra battery trying to monitor a set point.

Please don't critisize Google like this, 3G issues and Touchscreen problems are not simple applications in which code can be modified to turn off the "Volume" buttons.. I've noticed the employees on their forums try to solve things to the best of their abilities - but Google can not just correct everything as if it takes a small flick of the wrist, or click of a mouse...
Honestly I don't see how they will fix any 3G issue entierly without modifiying the insides of the phone.. guess I dont know enough about phones to make such a conclusion anyways.

I emailed them about this a couple of weeks ago. I told them exactly that and I got a "Steve Jobs-like" response lol..
"Something is wrong with your phone."
I even posted about it a couple of times in the Q&A section but got no responses. I'm glad to see someone on a stock ROM is experiencing the same issue because I thought it was due to using CM. Are you using an auto task-killer?

Get "KeyGuard disabler" from the market. It costs 1.49 but does exactly what you want. I'm sure there are free versions of similar software too but this is only one i've ever tried.

wow dude just tried it! works perfect! thanks man!

Meh....
After installing and trying to use it, I finally gave up. It has the potential to be by far one of the best android apps. The developer has designed programs that mesh with android so natively that I am jealous of his understanding. But even after a few reinstallations, this program never delivered. A replacement lockscreen must be more than just pretty. It wasn't sized right for the Nexus One screen and constantly froze "Updating List", even when I was just trying to unlock. The "Updating List" freeze causes a loop that just recalled the freeze when I hit home. There is no escape short of hitting menu, more, home, then selecting my home screen program. I would consider that a lock screen fail if I have to navigate a menu to select a home screen instead of sliding the sexy little slider over. I hate taking refunds from the market, but Lock 2.0 needs more work. If I see anyone saying it has been adjusted for the N1 screen and the home bug has been fixed, I'll buy it again, but until then, I'll stick with the just weather and toggle widgets.

I hear that Lock 2.0 disables notifications on the Nexus One. Does anybody know of any apps thats just as attractive as Lock 2.0 that doesn't disable notifications or freeze.. etc.. (something iphone-ish i guess)

Any news about the home button bug bypassing the lock screen in Lock 2.0?

As far as a can tell its been working good and the dev added the option to clear the home screen default if it does it again. Its pretty sad that he left it messed up for months until I sent him the link to this thread.

Thanks, but I was referring to another bug (unless I'm totally mistaken):
When you turn on your nexus and you're still on Lock 2.0 lock screen, if you press the home button, it unlocks the phone without having to use the slider.
Hope this was clear...

How to silence a call (not cut it) ?

[2 deep breaths]...
Okay, I have searched it but there was no answer corresponding to Atrix 2.
A call is coming and I want to silence it. I will not cut it because I dont want caller to know that I deliberately cut his call. In E71 there if I press right menu button, i can silence all calls (which stops vibration + ringtone in between). How do I do it for Atrix 2? This is not for all callers, I should be able to decide whose call I want to silent at that particular moment.
I dont want temporary/workarounds like keep it in silent mode/press volume button all the way downwards, etc. Thanks.

Press power button. Silences the call and locks the screen with out hanging up.

Just Press the volume up button once when you are getting a incoming call it will silence the ringer.

Question:
I dont know who deleted my post which said that my screens automatically shuts off. So i adjusted my screen timeout to 1minute. But still the screen turns off after 5 seconds. This is very annoying because I keep my phone on table, reading something on it, and suddenly the screen turns off after 5seconds. Help !

Perform a factory restore it will resolve your issue. Go to settings/privacy/factory data reset.

I am thinking of simple things first, make sure that you are not on maximum battery saver mode. Go to settings --> battery and data manager --> battery mode --> select the performance mode..
See if this solves the problem.. if it doesnt then let me know if you have installed any battery miser kind of apps.

Ok, will try that. Meanwhile, other issues:
1) I downloaded the facebook app. But it never logs in. It keeps on saying "loading". Similarly, when I try to sync social networking app/widget, youtube doesnt sync. It says "youtube sync failure". Why is that?
2) I recieve an SMS containing a mobile number. In E71, I could select the number and save it to a contact. This is not possible in Atrix 2. When I recieve an SMS containing a mobile number, there is no option to save it. This is the basic requirement of an SMS. Any ideas?

Pattern lock?
Is there a pattern lock feature for A2 like in case of galaxy s2 and iphone? If yes, how to enable it? All I have is number/passcode lock feature. In IPhone, the passcode is 4 digits and after that we dont have to press enter key, but in A2, i have to enter passcode and then press enter key (which is too much of extra pain).

Settings --> location & security --> setup lock screen --> pattern
Just dig into settings you will find everything you want.

Pattern option is "disabled by device administrator".
I see what is happening here. Since I had setup my phone to use my office email, i have having such problems like screen automatically shutting down and inability to use pattern lock !!
Thats my best guess.

yes, that is because you are now forced into a corporate security policy. No way around that unless you stop using your office exchange account on your device. an easier way is to forward your mail to gmail, and setup a way to do this over https. This is all on the gmail site, so don't ask how to do it in here.

All u hv2 do is to PLAY with ur fone dude ....
xplore everythin .... make mistakes (only when u hv powerful tool of flashing back ) ... try each n every settin
mistakes make u learn faster (not @all intention of lecturing u :laugh: )

So I installed a new sandisk 16gb card microSD card yesterday (after formatting it first in PC, then in phone) and put some songs in it. More problems started:
1) Randomly, the phone says "no sim card". I have to restart the phone to get my sim card working. This is frustrating.
2) When I woek up in morning, the phone was dead. Something drained the battery to 0%. Why?
3) The notification was automatically set to some random song. Why?

Have you tried taking out the memory card.. see if it solves your problem.. though few things are strange in your case, but take out your new memory card out.. and pls dont ask why because there are already ample threads on "class 10 memory cards not working with A2"

Samsung Reactivation lock bypass and disable should work on any samsung device

So today I have found a bypass I call it for the reactivation lock on i would say any samsung device that has the problem where the phone was reset with the reactivation lock on and you forgot the account info. Now you could use this to unlock a stolen phone i don't do this or recommend it cause if it were my phone I would still get it back even if you did get in. So you start out at the screen that tells you that your device has been locked and to enter samsung account info so what you wanna do is go and click on the forgot account info text. Once you do that enter your email and the image verification you must use a active samsung account email. Once you do that press and hold on your email address which should be blue and the options for cut copy ect should come up. What you want to do is hit the one in the right hand conner that should now drop you into Google now. Once in google now type open settings and you will want to open the settings app this way. Once in the settings app you want to go into your app mananger and go to the tab that says all apps and force close/disable samsung accounts. Next find all the Samsung sync adapters and force stop them then find the factory mode one and any one to do with setup and force stop them. (the reason I have so many to disable is because I don't know which one is the magic one that did it) . Now press your back button and click your toolbar if ur on a newer samsung device and enable the toolbar with 1 of the 5 apps being your settings app. This is in case something goes wrong so it's eaiser to get into setting again now. GO back to the setup screen run phone setup again and this should bypass the Samsung lock. Now once your in the phone have full access you can use the pull down bar and all go back into settings re-enable samsung accounts and reboot. Now you should be at the swipe screen to unlock the phone do so go back into settings where the check box for reactivation lock is and untick the check box this should now ask you to sign in with your Samsung account do so and when you do it should back you out to the setting so now untick the box again enter your password for the Samsung account you just setup and boom your phone is now free frome the activation lock and you can use it like you would any other phone and best of all u didn't trip a Knox counter. It was really shear luck I can upon this exploit and its because samsung can't disable Google now and copy paste functions on their keyboards so yeah a high school student just got around your Security measures come on samsung try to lock it up a little tighter next time. But yeah I will see if I can get a few screenshots up in a few days showing some steps but yeah hope this helps you who forgot your credentials like my dad did :silly: please don't use this to get into a phone thats stolen/ not yours cause that's why I was debating whether or not to post this. so yeah fell free to ask if u need me to clear something up and execuse my crappy punication I don't use it when typing very often. So yeah hope this helps and have a great day

Well, I tried getting all the things you are talking about but, I didn't get exactly where how and what I would rather wait for your screenshots to showed up, so I could have a look on what's going on over there. It often became hard to read out because of the white and black theme often results in dried up...

Yeah i understand what your saying I will see if I can relock the phone and take a few pics I still don't belive that I was able to bypass it just shows how insecure samsung made its security

Working only in few models but not working in some sets

Lolipop update bypass!

[Q] SAMSUNG ACCOUNT BY pass galaxy S6

Hi guys I was looking in YouTube any videos that can help me to by pass this samsung account. I bought a phone though ebay and I'm really frustrated because they didn't tell me that the phone has a Samsung account locked and it's requiring the old user to let me in. I check that you can by pass using the forgot password and Web browser technique but this phone doesn't let me touch anything just write the old Id. I need help by passing this because it's impossible to me to send it back it will cost lot of money because I live in other country. Hope guys can help me to discover how to by pass this thing I'm already getting crazy. Thanks

Why don't you just ask the person you bought it from for the password?

I did but he said he don't know that whY he sold it

He does not know maybe because its a stolen phone? He can somehow do a password reset via samsung account on any computer.
Once reset you can enter that password on ur phone
Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Sounds stolen to me.

Definitely stolen. Demand a refund or threaten to report the guy if he doesn't.
The only way to bypass it is if you have access the the original owners email too. Resetting the password on a Samsung account in a browser just sends a new password to the email address that was used to register the Samsung account.
So you are out of luck.
OTOH, once you setup the phone from scratch (ie. do a factory reset) can't you just bypass setting up Google and Samsung accounts at the setup? If you disable all networks (ie. on airplane mode) the phone can't phone home to ask for the original users password. So you can keep using it as long as you have it in airplane mode. Just use it as a dumb phone and get your apks from your pc.

After 3 hours of touch and touch I definitely figure how to by pass this function in the Samsung Galaxy S6 Verizon version.
1. Proceed to go to the locked screen with wifi oN
2. Go to a place where you can write something When The keyboard appears check that you can see a a tools icon its located below at the side of sym button.
3.ok now we are in keyboard settings you need to scroll to the end and enter to the "adjust keyboard size" or " resize keyboard ".
4. In this section write something and then keep press the word that you put and select dictionary
5. Now find the way to access to Google now I don't remember the full process in this section lol
6.follow steps like login into you Google account when finished you will be in Google now
7. Keep your finger touched in the screen and move it to the right side and you will see you account logged "the Google account "
8. Touch the little arrow symbol in your Google account and go to the account manager.
9. Create a new Samsung account and bwaula!!!! Enjoy your phone XD
Sorry I did my best to explain it was my first time and I didn't record everything. Hope it help for you it take me 3 hours of my life that I'm sharing with you guys. Any questions I'll be here

Wow, exploit LOL.
That really doesn't sound secure at all. It's meant to protect the phone from being used again. What's the point if it can be bypassed? I guess it's gonna be patched as soon as this method gets published around the place.
I'm gonna go try it out on my phone.
Great job btw! (as long as you weren't the original thief, cause if you are, then screw you but thanks for the technique too)

I can confirm that this works. Lol, I was rooting around with my phone and manage to reactivation locked my phone which caused me to factory wipe/reset the phone. Unfortunately something weird happened to my samsung account with a whole bunch of processing failed. There is a way to solve that too. Unfortunately, I am unwilling to post more directions since this Samsung Account thing is primarily used to prevent theft.

HI there. I have tried everything but when I click on the word nothing happens. If I leave it pressed it will give me the Select,Copy option. What can I do?

Verizon
It doesn't work for the verizon s6. Are there any ways of fixing this issue? running 5.0.2 incase that helps.

I can confirm that this works. Lol, I was rooting around with my phone and manage to reactivation locked my phone which caused me to factory wipe/reset the phone. Unfortunately something weird happened to my samsung account with a whole bunch of processing failed. There is a way to solve that too. Unfortunately, I am unwilling to post more directions since this Samsung Account thing is primarily used to prevent theft.

If you're running 5.1.1 then that method will not work any longer. It's been "fixed" so there is no useful options from tapping the words or attempting to get into the dictionary.

Irritating things with the Global software...

Hi,
As we now probably all know, the Global version of this ROM lacks a lot of features : no gestures, no dark mode...
But even without those missing parts, it is still irritating...
Here are the three things that are bothering me :
- 1°) the notifications : I have 2 SIM cards inside that thing. It constantly reports that I have a new voice message. But whatever SIM card answering machine I call, tells me "You have no new message". I erase the notification. I keeps popping up again...
- 2°) the dialer : when I get a call, I have to swipe up to answer it. On every other phone, a short swipe is enough to answer the call. On this device, I have to swipe up to the top of the device for it to understand that I would like to answer the call...
- 3°) whatever I do, the default app selected for SMS messaging is not kept after a reboot. I use Textra. I select it as the default app. Each time the phone is rebooted, I have to tellit that I want to use Textra again as default mesaging app.
Do you guys have those problems also ?
Regards.
It's not a real problem or bug, but really irritating

I have some more:
I know it's nitpicking buuuuut
1. When watching YouTube vids and touching the triggers by accident, it brings up the scroll bar and does not go away untill you let go of the triggers.
2. Can't silence notifications.
3. Unreliable OTG USB file transfers (gets stuck)
4. When increasing the volume on Bluetooth devices, it only goes up by 0 or 2
5. My alarm clock never works
6. Switching between Sim Cards is super slow
7. Searching for settings is difficult
And some more things that I can't think of the top of my head.

Hi,
Hum... That can be sorted I think
1°) About your thing with the button triggers : install Button Mapper. Open it. Choose to add a new button and tap the left or right trigger button. Once created, say you don't want any action to be configured. You should be good to go
2°) You can silence notifications. But you have to do that under "Notifications" and not under "Sound"... Go figure !!!
3°) Hum... Have you tried to format your card to another format like FAT ? I don't use that feautre so I can't really tell.
4°) Yes. I think that is true. But will try to confirm later when I'll use it in my car audio.
5°) Mine works... I think.
6°) It is not unusually slow here...
7°) The way they organized the settings is just... super stupid.
Conclusion : I think I will try to install the chinese ROM and root it to see if I can use that with better results.

Hi,
Another thing is totally stupid to me : that is the fact that you cannot pin an app to stick even if Recents are cleared.
So I can have gestures enabled because the stupid people at Nubia removed that from the EU/US ROM.
But that requires access to "Accessibility" services.
As soon as I clear recents, that feature is disabled...
And as it is gestures => no more control over device !!!
SHEER STUPIDITY !!!!
All in all, I think I will return the device within the next 3 days within my right of withdrawal.
Hardware is brilliant. Softwa

I will be returning mine also. Such a shame the software sucks.

Let us know how that goes. I've seen several posts on other forums complaining that Nubia is not answering emails when it comes to returns and RMA's for the Red Magic 3. Some have started disputes with Paypal to try and get their money back.

I tried the button mapper app but it's not working. Can you provide more info on how you did it?

how did you return it?
I have no return option in order details
also how did they accept it if you used the phone? they say in their policy that the phone must be unused

As long as you return it in the first 15 days you can return it used or not, and I emailed their customer support to return it

I am returning mine as well due to these software issues, and I received the same response about DHL. They did not say they would not take it even though I had used it, they agreed that I could return it because I was within my 15 days. I would assume as long as you didn't damage it (screen cracks, water damage, etc), they should still be able to process the refund.

For me, GLS is the courier. Never heard of them.

I hope if they get so much people returning the device because of it's lousy software, they may consider improving it...
Let's wait and hope...

Anyone had their refund yet?

I notice these weird things too but doesn't bother me too much. Coming off several other Chinese devices lately these are not so bad and hopefully get dealt with by a software update or by someone here.

Have they ever fixed the touch trigger issue with YouTube?

From version 2.07 to version 2.10 on YouTube, triggers did not fix!
