this is prolly a dumb question but how do you disable the lock on wake up feature on the tmo wing? I've spent the last hour on google and i've combed the instruction manual to no avail. I got s2u2 and haveing to unlock it again after the slider is killin me(plus it makes the slider seem pointless).

Is there anyway I can get rid of the slide to unlock and go just with the pattern lock? As of now I have to have the slide to unlock and then have the pattern unlock which just seems pointless to have two unlocks...

Yeah, I don't understand why that is like that. When you enable the pattern lock the slide unlock should be disabled.
Yes, they seriously need to resolve this. I do not have any security turned on now because I refuse to do two different things to unlock my phone. Come on verizon/motorola!

I think it's perfect as it is. Set your security settings to enable after 10 minutes, then it wont annoy you.
If your phone went straight to pattern, you wouldn't have access to the quick slide-to silence, media player controls, (if you use a custom lock screen, other shortcuts) and you'd have to enter the pattern every time it turns the display off, even if just due to you reading something on the screen.
Sussed. Took me a while to get familiar with my Dext to come to the same solu
tion. Good to find a forum for such..am old and mid-tech tho want to learn.
I've never used the pad lock deal you guys are talking about, but there is a free app called "No Lock" that will disable the slide to unlock. I'm pretty sure it would probably take you straight to your password screen.
This is another thing Motorola changed with their version of 2.2. Stock Android takes you directly to the security screen if you have it enabled
Stock Android goes straight to pattern unlock. That's how it should be on this.
Hey Ppl....
I've found a file called libphonelock.so under /system/lib/
Maybe if you remove it with the TB, that it remove X10i lock screen?
anyone as know it?

ZOMG. This is definitely a step in the right direction.
I'm going to contact the developer and find out if I can get the code to the lockscreen disable portion of the app. Would love to see if I (or someone with actual Android programming experience) could tweak that into something that disables the swipe lock but can keep the pattern lock enabled.
-edit-
Email sent, though BIP's developer is out of town this weekend. If anyone knows of any other apps that accomplish this, I'd be interested to know.
lock 2.0 disables it, as well as the app "no-lock".
problem is, even with the new version of battery indicator, every app ive tried the stock slider still manages to come back someway somehow , battery indicator seems to be the best solution so far, and im wondering if its lock 2.0 that somehow brings back the stock slider.

Hey have you ever been able to receive a response from the dev?
If you are seeking a "new" lock screen, or the "no slider" look.
I highly recommend Widget Locker.
It has a root bypass of the lock screen "5 second rule" which starts up the "old" lock screen.
I bought the app, used the root bypass option, and i havent seen my old lock screen yet.
They even have a keypress unlock, if you want a very simple lock screen, and you can hold your back button down for .5-2sec or so to unlock.
Though, I dont use the pattern lock, so i have no idea if it works in combination with this or not?
Edit: Disregard, I didn't realize the age of this thread D:
Sorry for resurrecting such an old thread. Funny thing is that I actually did start using WidgetLocker and I DO sometimes get the stock lock screen before it starts, so I was looking for a way to completely disable the stock lock. There are some apps out there that remove the stock lock but it causes every hardware button to wake the device up, which is no good. (This includes battery indicator as I just found out)
Yea, thats no good, it kinda defeats the purpose of having some sort of alternative lock screen when it wakes up on key press like that
I'm not sure why, but i have never got the lock screen to pop up again, unless i kill widgetlocker myself.
Well, if you indeed find out how to get rid of that lockscreen, i would love to know, it would be nice to not have a app constantly running pretending to be an alternate lockscreen, you know?
I am using the Extended Controls app from the market.
With it you can enable & disable just about everything the X10 uses (including the lock screen).
Hey
I have really good idea for the unlock pattern, but don't have the skills to make it
so I would like to give the idea to you
When you put an unlock pattern you can't mute the phone, but with the regular "slide to unlock" lockscreen you can. Now my idea is to make a second pattern to mute your phone or think a bit further you just could launch apps with a sepcific pattern
Would like to see some day this type of unlock screen
THX Oli
lock screen gestures already do that.
they're built into CM.
i don't know about outside of CM though.
edit: ohhh! wait, never mind.. i read wrong.
that could be neat!
i think that would be super neat except with exchange set up you dont get the option to use the unlock pattern(which I love), just a number pad if your exchange requires security
I thivk you miss understood me
you still keep the normal pattern unlock screen
but an aditional feature with that you can set up an additional pattern in the same unlockscreen so that you could just set that up to mute your phone or just launche an app
sorry for my english xP
This is a really coool idea. I hope someone does this soon enough.
I know what you mean and it would be great, I just couldn't use it because corporate security only allows pin unlock in exchange server
i have this working using gestures.
Using CM goto CyanogenMod Settings > Input Settings > goto the last line... Disable unlock slider.
Before u do that in the same Input Settings there is Lockscreen gestures... there build a gesture to unlock phone (and watever else u wanna do like launch an app etc)
lock the phone and try unlock. It works fine. Just dont forget the gesture to unlock
Its actually better than the ordinary unlock .
haha i guess the OP hasnt ever used cyanogen ROM? all this is built into cyan, very nicely i might add too!
I think he would rather it be a part of the pattern unlock screen itself.
Possibly like this (O = part of pattern X = untouched)
Unlock:
OOX
XOX
xOX
Going from top left to bottom.
Volume control:
XXO
XOX
OXX
going from top right to bottom left.
Each pattern controls a function that normal sliders would, but keeps the cool pattern unlock and security of it.
I myself would love something like this as it would be more accurate than the cm lockscreen gestures.

I agree with my preposter. I made the same experience that it sometimes is hard to get gestures working because of it's inaccuracy...

I recently updated to 2.3.5 from 2.2 and the unlock has changed. Before, the unlock screen had 2 options. Slide to unlock and slide to turn the sound off. Now it has 4 options, none of which is to turn the sound off which is the one I really need the most. I can't find any way to change this w/o installing a 3rd party app (which I'd like to avoid if at all possible). Does anyone know how to modify the unlock screen?
Thanks

Why do you have to change that on the lockscreen? Can't you just unlock it, and use the volume-down button?
Unlock screen
If I only needed to do it once a day, that would be fine but I am constantly going in and out of meetings and a single swipe is much more convenient than what you mention. I did do the following in the meantime (for anyone that cares)
1. added a shortcut to the volume settings on my home screen so I just go into that and silence the phone
2. I installed ZDbox which has an option to schedule the phone to go silent at certain times of the day/week. Pretty nice.
Would like to know in general, though, if the unlock screen can be changed.
Thanks.

Two questions about the lock screen and security for those in the know.
1) Any easy to use free app that will change the lock screen security automatically either based on time or location? When I get to work, I change my lock screen to pattern security and when I leave work I turn it off. It's a pain to do this each day manually.
2) With the above, even if I had to do it manually, is there a way to keep the settings somehow so I don't have to do the pattern twice and then a pin number for backup twice, each and every time I set it to pattern lock?
Thanks for any help. I know there are a few different programs like Tasker, but they seem fairly complicated and I can't find a way to set security like this.
As you said, tasker is very useful to do things like that. Try it. It's easy and you won't regret.
I never could figure out Tasker. Maybe I just need more time with it.
Trying smart lock right now. I wish there was a way to say "don't trust this location" but trust every other location. I just want my phone locked at work.
