[Q] Don't laugh! How do I disable the damn lock screen?

Guys,
Very annoying problem on my Verizon HTC One M8 (1.55.605.2).
Sorry for the noob-like question, but I want to disable the lock screen and I can't seem to disable it. I know, I know ... It sounds ridiculous, but I'm wondering if the last OTA update disabled the feature. I'm not rooted, yet. Part of the process is to disable lock screens and while trying to do so, I can't. Grrrr....
I go to Security, Screen Security section and just below that I'm supposed to see the "No Lock Screen" option. What's up with that?! Any advice and/or workaround would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I'm on the same update, no root, no S-off (yet). Settngs > Security > Screen Lock > No Lock Screen is there for me, does what it advertises.

You don't see this when you click on screen security?

Yes, I see the options, but the top three are greyed out for whatever reason. I'm ready to reset the damn phone. I have no clue why that changed and it's probably something stupid I did while playing around with the phone. :silly:

Did you setup the phone to synch with an Exchange server? If so, that is likely the cause.

Oh Shiznitz! That was it! I confirmed by resetting the phone and when setting up the access to the corporate email, it greyed out the options. Interesting. Thanks for that little nugget of information.

this is an issue with 4.4 kitkat. to fix it temporarily, toggle airplane mode or restart the phone, then toggle wifi.
for a permanent fix, i've read that deleting the wps_supplicant file under data/misc/wifi will do the trick. note that this will also delete all your saved wifi networks and passwords.
what i'm trying at the moment is just editing that wps_supplicant file - cleaning it up and just keeping 2 wifi networks in it (one for work, one for home). So far it's working well.
Just to make it clear, search the internet, other phones on kitkat intermittently have this problem.

What I'd try is turning off BT temporarily and see if WiFi works. Also, some people have reported WiFi issues after installing and using certain apps (a flashlight app, the app GasBuddy.) If you have one of those, try uninstalling and restarting the phone.
If that doesn't help, try restarting in safe mode to rule out another third party app. Long press power like you want to power off until the power off dialog shows, then long-press the "power off" until the safe mode prompt comes. If BT and WiFi works in safe mode, it's a third party app problem.

Hey mines was broken and I tried everything in every post around the web.Slap it,wipe cache,Factory data reset, safe mode nothing worked? then I enabled developer options and switched select runtime from Dalvik to ART and a reboot happened...Android is updating it said as I waited patiently. Maybe just maybe,BOOM I got WiFi Yes.update
WiFi gone again fix was temporary

Thanks for give suggestion. Me also turn run time in developers option than phone reboot and upgrade after the process when I turned on Wi-Fi then it on.
Thank's once again.

Lte not working after factory reset

Hi all, I first have this error whenever I update or install new app. It'll show up the notification this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then the sim lost its signal and lock my phone automatically. I'm not sure how to fix this, so I made a factory reset, however, the problem still persist.
Worst (at least to me), the lte does not working at all. I tried "search providers" both manually and automatically, restarted, re-plug the sim out but still not working.
I bought this phone international version; T-mobile sim.
Can anyone please help? Just bought this phone for 2 weeks and feel bad if this can't be solved.
Thank you.

Is your apn correct?

I cannot see what error you are getting but I will bet it has to do with Visual Voicemail.
Here is what to do for this error:
Go to settings > Apps & Notifications > App info > Phone > select "Force Stop > then select Storage > then Clear Cache > then Clear Data. Then get out of settings and open phone app > top right corner select three dots > settings > calls > Voicemail > there is the Visual Voicemail toggle....turn it off > then reboot. I was able to do a Play Store update and the error message is gone. Follow my steps to make it work for you.
As for LTE...how do you know you are not getting LTE? Remember that on this phone, international version, on T-Mobile that it will ONLY say 4G. This is correct. I have the same phone on T-Mobile. Also, when making a phone call it will drop to 3G for data while in the call...normal.

Moved thread please delete this. Ty

Moving thread .... don't believe its a sprint issue
I switched from sprint to T-Mobile. They screwed up and let us keep our old phones and did a discount for the hassle. I figure I don't need 2 S8's so I would just sell it. Welcome to my nightmare.....
So I factory reset the phone to get all my data off, I did this through the settings menu. No issues the phone reset. It was at the beginning new phone screen so I just left it and placed the phone on craigslist.
I get a buyer and we meet at the store. The lady who works at sprint and was going to verify the phone was not stolen starts the phone and asks me for the password..........huh?....
The phone is at a password screen and I have maybe 5 at most that I use various combos of, none of these work. She brings it over to the "techs" there are they say they have never seen this. I then apologize the the man who wanted to buy the phone and proceed home. I do some searching online and find out how to get into certain menus and do resets, and re-flash the stock rom. Even after those it wants a password.
I then think I'll just use find my phone with good and unlock it. Well it is a sprint phone and I have T-Mobile now so it has no connection, and I can't get past the password to get to the wifi settings. So google says it can't find my phone.
I contact Samsung and since it’s been less than a year they say they will help. I send in the phone and they send me it back with the crack on the back of the phone fixed and nothing else. I called and they said they have record of me asking for help with a password problem. I then ask if I can send it back and get that taken care of and they said it would cost 150$ because they fixed the phone......huh?
I really just want this password off the phone. At this point it’s a matter of I am more curious about finding a way to get it off the phone than selling it. I’m also open to all ideas. Taking it apart, flashing something third party on it.
If you need pictures I will get them up shortly. Or a video. At work currently, so I can probably reply in a timely manner. If you need more info please ask and I’ll try and get whatever you need
Thanks in advance

Question Software Update disappeared

Unlocked variant from Samsung. I had a Software Update setting section. Soon after putting my Verizon SIM in the device the setting isn't there anymore.
Not sure how to fix or get the setting back. I can't check for new updates either

I have an unlocked variant (SM-F711U1) running a Verizon SIM and software updates option is right in the main settings menu

If you can't find it there, try going to Settings; About Phone; then on the bottom you should see "looking for something else?" And software update under it. Check the pic I've attached

This is all I have

Sorry for the late reply, but to me it almost seems like your phone didn't quite set itself to Verizon's configuration when you put your Verizon SIM card in. It's almost like it has no configuration for updating software PERIOD. This is very strange as even the unlocked version, while brand new, with no SIM ever put in should still show some form of a software update option when connected to internet.
The two suggestions I have are 1)
Use Google dialer set to default and dial code *#*#3747#*#* that will take you to a menu with three options and you want to tap on the "phone information" option and there will be a massive amount of information about your phones network configuration in there including stating that it is actively running on the Verizon network and successfully has the carrier provisioning info. (Disclaimer: I suggest not getting curious and manually changing settings in there when you don't know what you're doing because you can disable network bands and really end up having to factory reset your whole phone if you don't fully comprehend what you're changing) I'm just suggesting that you look visually to make sure of what I said above is what you see.
2nd)
If nothing else, pop your sim card out and go to settings, general management, reset and then tap the reset network info option and let your phone reset it's whole network configuration. If it doesn't reboot itself after then manually power the phone down, while powered down reinsert your Verizon SIM card and then power back up and give it a few minutes to get itself reconnected to Verizon's Network and after about 10 minutes I would reboot the phone again and see if anything has changed.
