I need help turning off the screen lock on my gear s2, after a day trying and searching I could figure it out how to scroll while is on, but I have not been able to turn it off. I can get to it but will not turn off, any suggestions will be appreciated..Thanks
Hi, one day the gear s2 asked to select a PIN. Now I can't turn it off.
The option is there on the configuratios: PIN, Password and None. But None is disabled.
I thought it was due to my ActiveSync account for corporate Outlook (which forces the phone to have a screen lock method), but even after I have removed this account and the screen lock on the phone it still remains on the gear.
Any ideas?
My s2 does not even have the none choice, in fact there isn't a way to change from PIN to password. This is going to result in it going back.

Hi,
I got new Samsung Omnia Pro4 (B7350)
WM 6.5.3
And my problem is that if you have password lock (even though you set at after certain hours), AND lock screen when device is woken up turn on, EACH time you press the lock button and slide button, you will be prompt for a password. VERY VERY annoying. If I remember in previous OS, you can unlock screen without password even though it is set after certain hours.
I use this password lock whit my BT watch, so if my phone is too far from the watch (lost or stolen) it would lock itsef.
But now it's allready locked when I press the screen off button off and on.
It's very annoying to tap password every time, cause the prompt time does not work.
(The watch program work only if the lock is enabled, and I have set the prompt time 2hours)
I just would like to "time to unused" work.
Any help or ideas?
elo,
have you managed to fix this problem?
It's very annoying :/ Previously I unlocked my phone only at simcard change and reboot.
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...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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?
Hi everyone,
I have a problem with LRX21O on my Nexus 5 32 GB. I installed it on day one and everything went fine. I was able to press the power button to get to the lockscreen then either swipe right to phone, left to camera, or up to unlock, or just leave it alone to re-lock after checking my notifications.
I then turned on a PIN lock under security and played with it a bit to see if it could use my FitBit One as a Smart Unlock device (no dice because it doesn't do a bluetooth pairing, it just syncs). So... I turned the PIN back off.
I now have no lockscreen. Pressing 'power' just sends me straight to whatever was happening when the screen turned off. I've tried turning various screen lock methods on and off and goofing with it that way, but I can't get a password-free lockscreen to show up again! ARGH!
EDIT: NEVER MIND I'M AN IDIOT
I had been chosing 'none' instead of 'swipe' because I went to a list called security->screen lock and was figuring it was a "security" setting (swiping does not equal security). I somehow did not see Swipe even though I looked at the screen with Swipe on it like 47 times.
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!

Samsung A21 keeps saying that I'm using the wrong pattern.
Steps taken to try and resolve:
Samsung account, find my mobile or whatever it's called. I was able to log in and see the location of the phone but when I tried to unlock, it said that remote unlock was not turned on, on the phone.
Google account: Said "notification sent" and that was it, nothing more.
Last thing I want but would do is a factory reset. Problem is, it asks for the pattern to shut down the phone.
Was going to pull the battery to shut it down, but the back is glued on and I don't want to damage the case even slightly. It's my mothers phone. If it was mine, I'd take the chance.
I'm at a freaking loss and can't believe this bug exists to this day.
Edit: I've set it to the download mode screen (the screen stays on and will drain the battery) and will let the battery die. I think, once dead, I should be able to plug in and quickly hold the buttons and get into recovery mode and reset it. Yes no maybe?
yes you can reset the phone
but you can not save the data
