Hey guys,
Just wanted to know how do I set a phone lock for the x10, I want it to appear only when switching on the phone and not during screen timeouts.
I used to be able to do this with a lot of old SE phones where it would ask me for the code only once when the phone is switched on.
You just go to Settings> Security> Sim Lock and set one in there. That will only prompt you for a pin number when you switch on your phone.

he did not mean pin code...
I think he talks about the screen unlock slide it from the button to the top...

But that would only ask me the pin only when that SIM is inserted. If I use a different SIM it wont ask me for the pin.
I would like to lock the phone regardless of which sim is inserted into the phone.

I was referring to the pin code...the old SE phones used to call it phone lock. I assumed it to be the same on this.
I would set a 4 digit pin and it would ask me for a 4 digit pin everytime the phone is switched on, and it wont ask me for a pin during screen timeouts.
All I could find on the sony ericsson website is this:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/phones/detailed/phonelockcodeissues/xperiax10?cc=gb&lc=en
which refers to what I want, but it doesn't tell me how to setup the phone lock.

I use built in LOCK function and simple 4 digit PIN. It normally works fine. I use it to lock after 12 or 24 hours etc. But if XPERIA is not used for long, say 12 hours or so, it locks by itself. Then it doesn't accept my unlock code and I have no option but to remove battery and reboot the device.
Can't understand why this happens.
And what is the solution?
Don't set it to lock by itself.

I put the lock code only after it started to lock by itself as I quoted earlier, i.e. it used to get locked without any code so i put a lock code (although I didn't wished to put any lock code or get it locked at all!) hoping that by making it lock and providing a lock code, at least I will be able to unlock it even if it locks. But it behaes exactly as it did before witout any lock code provided. Does this mean, is there any default lock code? like I tried 12345, 54321, oooo etc. with no sucess.
software update?
probably a long shot but have you tried doing a hard reset, or flashing the latest software using SEUS?
It might just be corrupted registry data.
YO
if u check out ur phone with SKTools ull see on the bottom of one of the tune-up pages ur code(not sure if its the code u need)
by default mine shows a1b2c3 ...
I would love to use the pattern to unlock, but don't want to have to slide to unlock and enter the pattern. I tried apps that take away the slide to unlock ("No Lock", etc.), but they take away both. Is this possible?
Yes. Get " no lock" dev is BoD
I have it, I use it, love it.
you must be doing something wrong in settings. It does just the slide on my EVO.

So let me get this straight. When you power on your phone, all you see is the pattern to unlock, and after the pattern to unlock your phone is unlocked?
If my "No Lock" app disables lock, then when I power on my phone I get no slide or pattern to unlock, despite pattern to unlock being activiated. Once I enable locking in "No Lock," then both slide and then pattern unlock are back.
Is this not the case for you? I tried all kinds of different things to no avail...
I found found the same problem in other threads. I would link to them but I am too new and XDA wont let me.
Oh snap...my bad...guess it doesn't anymore? I had my lock pattern off for a while now and just re-enabled it and low and behold...kills em both.
When I first installed It shortly after EVO launch day it killed just the slide portion....must have changed through a update? Sorry.
Wanted to change to the screen lock where you do a certain pattern as opposed to just slide across screen. But when I enable it, the original slide across the screen lock is there as well so I end up having to unlock that, then the pattern lock.
So how do I turn off the one that just slides across the screen???

You don't, it's impossible for now (without root).
Bollocks. Is it one of the many things that Orange have added? Like the also very annoying backup pish that kept popping up!!
Nope, it's in the generic firmware too.
Argh! So what's the point then!! I don't want two different locks!! Other than that, the phone is fantastic!!
The point is.. if you fail the pattern too many times then it locks the phone up completely.. so not having the swipe to unlock screen would cause many problems..!!

Doesn't lock up the phone (I tried it when I had it ), it just creates a 30 second timeout!

I have the same problem (Xperia Neo), I'm rooted. How do I remove the slide-unlock-thingy and keep only the pattern-unlock?
The only method I know is an app called Antilock that skips the slide to unlock screen but keeps the pattern unlock

yeah...you understood what i have ...is your phone locked on Orange maybe? . It's ok that lock...but how to remove it?
When that screen opens asking you for network unlock don't do anything, just look at the cursor in the textbox, when it stops blinking wait until it starts again and then press dismiss...
It worked for me...

It's strange because I can see that request in a random way. Today i turned on my phone without that request (only normal pin code). Anyway I see two buttons...OK and Cancel...doing like you said request should not appear anymore? Because i always clicked cancel...without waiting...
I have also problem with "pin to unlock network"
it appear after "normal" PIN screen randomly
I never had any problem with it click dismiss and it work
I think that this is because bootloader unlock witch I did installing CM7.1.0
Yeah, it's kinda random and my method should help any time it happens, but I still haven't found a way to fix it completely

Is it so hard??? Press dismiss and after that remove pin code!!1 Problem solved!
PIN code request appears before the unlock request. It's simply boring clicking cancel every time..and with previous stock firmware I never had this problem..

One of my kids dropped my Note 3 and now the screen is blank. I can remove the battery and start it back up and hear the start up sound. I can't get in to my phone to back up the internal memory because I had a pattern lock on it and can't correctly swipe it. Any way of getting in using Kies?

You can use Android Device Manager to lock and also reset device password. That way you can easily unlock it. You can set new password as 1111 for easy unlocking.
Hope that helps.
