is there any way to password lock the phone by pressing power button? maybe registry settings, application, or other way? if some1 can explain how, it'll be really great.
tray icon application will be fine too.
If you enable the password feature, and set the time-out to 0, it should ask for a password every time you turn it on.
no, its not suits me, i have 2 minutes phone turn off setting, and i dont want phone to be locked in 2 minutes. all i need is to lock it with power button and auto lock set to 15 minutes.

If it does not power the device off you could use mortscript to run this .exe & a power off .exe & map a script link to a button or an icon or voice command.
Hope this helps.

This program would meet your requirements by having a tray icon or launcher icon.
Mapping it to the power button may not be possible but it could be mapped to any other button if wanted.
This is the only password auto locking software using the standard device lock available.
Your only other option is to create a password on/off MortScript to run Settings/Password and auto input your 4 digit code,tick the required boxes & then run a device off.exe, done this on my old Magician a few years back., works well but its a bit crude compared to Kia's software.
i've download similar application(PSShut XP), but this app doing same as u describe, its runs settings\password lock, and then password promt appears, and u can simply click menue\cancel ). maybe this was working in windows 2003 or wm5, but im using wm6. only thing i've found for that case is vb function SHDeviceLockAndPrompt(), and i need to download SDK and compile an .exe, but im looking easier solution for that problem
clarification
I believe I am also looking for the same functionality:
-scenario: you power off the phone via hardware button and put it in your pocket. In your poocket, the button is pressed accidentally, and because the password lock has not yet auto-activated, the screen is active and you accidentally call your boss, or a total stranger
If this is your scenario, there is a 'screen saver' called MortSaver that can prevent this situation: it requires you to press a 2nd hardware button (user defined) to fully close the screensaver. unfortunately it will not instantly enable the password lock.
this does seem like nothing more than a simple api call, but i would be surprised if there isnt an .exe somewhere to do it aready. will have a look around.

I know S2U2, but it's "too big" for my artemis! I'm looking for a small tool. And I want the device locked securely. Slide is not enough.

S2U2 has a PIN lock, but yes it is a tad on the big side.
I like the simplicity of the stock security lock feature that comes with the touch pro... However the options for it are somewhat limited. I was wondering if there was a way to edit it to my liking.
For example, the option 0 Minutes will prompt the pin screen after 1 minute of inactivity OR when the device is in sleep mode... I would like to keep the feature of locking the phone when I put it into sleep mode, but I would like to increase the time of inactivity to say 3 minutes before it will do it automatically
Or maybe just an option to only security lock the device manually with the long press end key? That would work for me as well.
Doing a little more thinking about this, Id much rather have the security lock on manual, and long press end key locks the device... i dont like how itll pop up when im watching a video, is there any way to edit this without having to install a 3rd party program instead?
I am starting an Android app (on my Galaxy Note 2). It is Rooted.
While the screen is off (or on) i want to be able to double tap a hardware key (ie. Power Button) and this triggers an event within my foreground / background service. If the screen is off, i want the screen to remain off. This is a development project so i require source code to make this happen. I will have root access so if i must programmatically modify standard items on an Android device then so be it.
Can you please recommend articles to help me compose all of the above. The best i've found so far is to replace the default Home Launcher with my own then time it for a double press otherwise launch the default home launcher. I'm still reviewing its limitations.
Thanks
I have the NXT-29C900B156 Mate 8 US, does anyone knows how to disable the lock screen that shows up when you press the power button?
Thanks, I have look allover xda without finding any info.
Be more specific!
Ur screen shoud not lock if you hit the powerbutton?
Or if you hit the power button it should be locked but without the numbers?
Hello from France,
Same question for me!
I have a Mate 8, and I chose "password:none" in "settings/screen lock & passwords". But when I use the powerbutton to turn the screen OFF and ON, it still ask me to slide. Is it possible to remove this useless page?
Go to settings menu -> Advanced Settings -> Security -> 'Power button instantly locks'... (should be at the bottom of the page)
I have unchecked this option, so that when i press the power button it just switches screen off and does not lock.
I have additionally set the option next to it "Automatically lock", to 5 Minutes.. (So that i am presented with password lock screen after some time of inactivity, the time before that the power button will just switch on/off screen)
Note that these options are only available if you have set either a password, PIN, etc.
thank you !!!

How can I remove password from a Huawei mate 8
So I thought Id try this as I would also love to just press the power button and the main screen pops up (no lock screen) so I added a pin and unchecked Power button instantly locks, but this only means that it wont lock from the power button it will lock from between 1 min to 30 min after sleep.
The problem is that now when I try to put the password back to none its grayed out and faint writing saying "Disabled by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage" ive added and taken out the pin a few times in the past whilst using (or not) the fingerprint scanner, so why now can I not undo it ?
im on NXT-DL00 17B368
EMUI 4.1
Hope someone can help me
During the "Factory reset" process I don't "ok" the "password" or "finger print" options.
I never have the "lock screen" show up

I bought a Mediapad T3 with the same useless page. Enable Developer Options, under that there's an option "Screen Lock". Disable that, and then the display won't be locked with the requirement to swipe to unlock (which is useless, except for notifications).
Hello!
How/where did you enabled the "Developer Options" in Android 7.0/EMUI 5.1?
Thank you in advance!

If you asking about where "screen lock" under developer option in android 7 So there is no screen lock under developer options maybe in android 6!
How to disable lock screen
You can disable lock screen with apps like No Lock (BoD).
This works with my Honor 8 (Nougat)
Don't use PIN code or pattern lock.
No worck on EMUI 8.
So, sideActions which is/was the only reliable app that could remap the Bixby key on a Note 20 to a plethora of options is now gimped a bit with OneUI 5 Android 13 due to Google's restrictions through tightening of privacy and security.
The way sideActions works in Full Remapping mode (where Bixby Voice is disabled allowing instant actions) is by reading the logcat generated by system logs. So whenever a long press is generated on the Bixby key, the logcat outputs a command that sideActions picks up on. This is a special permission granted by android.permission.READ_LOGS and WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS through a one time ADB command.
The problem now is that Android 13 no longer seems to allow logcat access after a reboot, nor does it allow access without explicitly granting that ADB Command and THEN ALSO going in the app and accepting the permission prompt to access logs which I'm still not exactly sure how to get that prompt to appear when I want it to. Without accepting that prompt, sideActions won't recognize a button press on the Bixby key in Full Remapping. I'm sure other apps that rely on logcat reading have the same issues.
Does anybody know the workaround for granting log access permanently? Meaning that it will persist through reboots since currently, the prompt only offers "Allow This Time Only". At the very least, how to get the prompt to re-appear following a system reboot so permission can be given until the next reboot? I can only seem to get it to appear randomly following ADB commands.
The alternative to sideActions is using Bixby Routines (now called Modes and Routines) to remap the Bixby key. However, the response time is much longer due to being unable to shorten the long press action time. If you're like me, holding down a button for 2 to 3 seconds feels like an eternity when you're used to 350 milli-seconds (practically instant and is customizable through sideActions settings menu with a range anywhere from 350ms to 1500ms), especially when you use it frequently.
Edit Solution: Figured it out. Just remove the files permissions for sideActions and accessibility permission and then force close it. When you open sideActions again and enable the Bixby key, it'll prompt you to grant 1 time log access. That'll last until your next reboot.

I feel you. Having this exact same issue. Very odd, hopefully we'll find a workaround. I'd really dislike to go back to using Bixby Routines to remap the key. I've been spoiled by sideActions.
even after doing this, volume buttons do not work properly, unfortunately
Found this thread while trying to fix my S22 Ultra so sideactions would work again. I ended up wiping data on side actions and bcactions, then uninstalling both apps. I reinstalled bcactions and sideactions (from APKmirror, since Play said my phone was incompatible). I went through the initial setup again like you do on a new or wipef device, and when you connect to your PC and run sideactions.exe, you get the script permission and are able to map or full remap your buttons. Literally took less than 5 minutes, working again now for me and I'm happy.
Just so everybody is aware, there is a workaround to get sideActions working again but it must be done after every reboot.
Basically, the goal is to get the prompt asking for one time log access. That'll give SideActions the access it needs. To accomplish it on Android 13, make sure sideActions doesn't have file access and accessibility service is disabled. Next time you open the app and toggle the side button key to on, you'll get the prompt. The key things here are accessibility disabled and file access off.
Also, I highly recommend App Ops or similar ADB permission toggler to grant sideActions full remapping access without connecting to PC. All it does is run a few ADB commands.. can be ran anywhere. I like App Ops because you can manually toggle Secure Settings and Read Logs on. I uninstalled Bixby when I got the device but you can do that too.

Think my issue was that I was giving bx/side full permissions. I reinstalled and didn't give full access to either, got the prompt immediately. This will keep me working until something can be figured out, but it doesn't sound promising with UI 5.
Thanks!
Another arguably simpler way is to go into app info and force quit the app. When you open the app again, it prompts for log permissions.
After the March security update it is no longer able to intercept the Power button but is OK for Volume on S23U??? Weirdest part is that it keeps working for both buttons on S22U after same update. Both phones still need the kill + give log permission routine after each restart but on S23U the Power button no longer seems to be intercepted
Because of how unreliable and flimsy the logcat prompt was, I decided it was time to move on. Now I'm using RegiStar, coupled with Tasker to achieve my goal.
The RegiStar response time is a little bit longer, but not as long as Routines+. That's really the only downside if you couple with Tasker. If you're not familiar with Tasker, it's an automation application that allows you to accomplish anything you want on phone that doesn't require root access. The latest Tasker beta also includes a flashlight action that is twice as bright as the native built in flashlight setting. So I created a task to vibrate for 25ms followed by toggling the flashlight. That's my long press.
Double pressing the power button is customizable from advanced settings. Can use Tasker action for this too if you want.
The slightly longer delay in triggering long press I've gotten used to and I've come to find that remapping the power key without sideActions isn't so bad.
If you need help with Tasker, PM me. It can be overwhelming at first but I've been using it for a few years now and I love it. Otherwise, RegiStar also includes native actions that you can use instead.
If you're someone who uses double press and hold option within sideActions often, then sideActions is you're only option. Nothing else offers that level of integration. For volume key remapping, almost any third party application supports this. Only power key remapping is limited with Galaxy devices.
My problem is that s22 ultra keeps turning of in my pcket.
Long press power works
But press power + volume down still pops ppwr of menu and i think this ks why my phone power of every day at work (tight pocket lot of crouching).
I though samsun had poclet check and disabled buttons but doesnt seem like it and bx.and side doesnt help on this last issue
Is there a solution don't have to give this one time permission every reboot, if we are rooted?
Isn't any root command to bypass this?
Thanks
