device lock???

My device now locks itself after a very short time and I have to 'Unlock' it. I cannot figure out where to uncheck this and its driving me crazy. Can someone assist?

Use a regedit program and go to the following value
Automatically lock your Diamond --> HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDevic eLockEnable change it to 0 and do a soft reset.

Auto lock function ?

Not sure I'm understanding your problem. Did you go into Settings -> System -> Key Lock and configure it to lock the buttons when the screen is off?

[Q] Unlock vibration

Is there anyway to switch this off on Nexus S....???

Settings -> Location & Security -> use tactile feedback. Check for vibration, uncheck for not.

Mate there is no such option in Nexus S? R u sure about the location

yeap devlogic is right, this option is where he said, maybe you're using a rom that displays this option elsewhere

Download "Spare Parts" from the Market. There is an option which turns off the vibration of the touchkeys.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

No working!!
Guys I even tried Spare Parts....but still no luck ....I mean even if other keypad vibration's are disabled but only the UNLOCK vibration can't be disabled. Any other way ????
PS: My phone is not rooted and is the original 2.3.4.

Settings > sound > haptic feedback. Check that off to turn off touch key vibration.

this stops haptic feedback except the vibration when unlocking screen...i also search for a possibility to get rid of that, anyhow i don't like these vibrations...
the formerly described option in location&security is also unknown to me, my NS doesn't have this point and i am on stock too!

Yeah I tried all options...this is soooo irritating...I really hope somebody comesup with a solution

Solved
Ok I've found a solution....
Use this amazing lock screen..Agile Lock....very smooth and get rid of the vibration

[Q] Any way to reduce vibration intensity?

Hi! New to Xda. Quick question. Is there any known way to reduce the vibration intensity for the Moto G? I know I can reduce it in the Google Keyboard settings but that does not reduce it for button clicks. Thanks in advance!

You can switch it off entirely, I have mine vibrate only when I get a text or phonecall. I turn off all other vibrations.

Yeah, I was hoping there would be a tweak that would allow me to reduce the intensity. I like having it, but it's a bit much on the Moto G. Only complaint I have with the handset!

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I actually set it to vibrate for any notification, but have vibrate off for any key presses. So gmail vibrates. Strange it still vibrates for you even if you have the vibrate box unchecked.

Thanks for the answer !
Ans could you make a try by unchecking vibration un gmail account préférences ans see if it still vibrates on notification ?
Maybe we could continue on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2598038 cause that s not exactly the same problem...
Thanks to you

It does still vibrate even when I turn off vibration AND have a phone to JUST vibrate and not ring, ie volume button pressed until vibrate option is chosen.
I think the issue is that there are so many options with regards to notifications in android that there is confusion by the system over which option wins out in the end. Or rather confusion by app developers in some cases.
I use chomp SMS and that can't properly send a notification sound when an SMS arrives if Im in the chomp app at the time.

For Gmail, you also need to set the ringtone to None in the Notifications - Sound settings in the Gmail app as well as untick vibrate.

Handsome ! Indeed it works. It was just that.
You have to set the ringstone to none to cancel the vibration on viber mode ( not very logical but that s the point). Ans it works for all applications like K9 mail, facebook...
Thanks a lot to you Alex

[Q] stop haptic feedback

I have vibration intensity down to zero, yet when I pick up my phone I still feel it vibrate. I called samsung about it and they wrre just as clueless as me. Anyone know how to stop vibration completely? Thanks in advance.

How to get rid of the stupid Volume limit warning

Thank you Samsung
Go to Setting -> Sound and Vibration -> Volume -> hit the 3 dot menu -> Media Volume Limiter -> turn on and set custom limit to Max
Confirmed I no longer get the warning pop up

Thanks for this *thumbs up*

If you don't have this option it's possible that you have an EU phone. No source but they have enforced stuff like this for a while, so it's not possible on a stock ROM. Even silly things such as desktop speakers powering off after 10 minutes of silence.
EDIT: Source. Blame the EU. Soft cap @ 85dB, hard cap @ 100dB

Ah. Gotcha.

Or this https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-automatically-disable-the-high-volume-warning-without-root/

Mine was actually off right out of the box. It does give me option to toggle it.

This is awesome, considering that there was no way to disable it on previous Samsung phones short of root. Sammy is getting softer in their old age.

The problem is, you get the warning after reboot, even if the toggle is off. How do we get rid of this permanently?

Darn. Don't have the 3 dots on my Canadian version. Oh well.

After you turn the volume all the way up, you have to turn the toggle back off or you will still get the warning. You will also have to do it again after you reboot.

I don't want to have to do it after reboot. I want it gone, period. If this is a EU thing, then why is it on my US phone? I found a guide on XDA that explains how to do it with Tasker and another application but I was hoping for something quick/easy like disabling a service or something.

Just tested. This works on the S8.

What an ugly workaround. I can't wait for root on a US phone to fix crap like this for good.

It's not that bad. Just download Tasker and Autotools and import the profiles at the bottom of the page. Then enable secure write settings in ADB. Took me 5 mins.

I've forgotten the PIN for the volume limiter. And the PIN I use to unlock my phone won't work. Can I change or reset this without doing a factory reset.
