Is it possible to have the regular slide to unlock followed by the pattern?
If I use a PIN or password, I get the slide to unlock screen first, but when I use a pattern, I lose the slide to unlock screen.
I really like being able to put my phone on vibrate on the unlock screen, but I want to use a pattern to unlock it.
Can I have both? Is it possible?
If you can't find a way to get the slide back on, you can still put your phone on vibrate from the lock screen. If you press and hold the power button on the lock screen you get the option for 'silent mode' it is the same as the slide though, on 2.2 it switches to vibrate.
In case anyone else was wanting this... you can do it with WidgetLocker...

If I press the right-hand button to put my HD2 in "suspend" (i.e. still on and able to receive calls but with the screen off and saving power) then it always insists on being "unlocked" as soon as I turn it back on. This was originally only mildly annoying - just required me to slide the slider - but since I've connected to my office Exchange server it now also inists on me entering a 4-digit PIN whenever the phone is unlocked. So now, just to bring the phone out of sleep mode I have to press the power button, slide the slider, then enter a 4 digit pin and press the "unlock" key. This is driving me up the wall! Is there any way to get the phone to be already unlocked when it comes out of sleep mode?
I'm using the T-Mobile version of the HD2, unflashed, if that makes a difference.

Sounds more like an Exchange issue to me....
I do know that connecting to an exchange server can force the phone to ask for a PIN, which is fair enough really. What happens if you use BsB Tweaks and turn off the Auto Lock now? I'm guessing that it will still ask for a pin, but you won't need to slide to unlock.
Tip number 27 on this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583638
Now it should only ask for the PIN after the timeout period, not every time.
Try looking at my reply on the following thread. Works great for me

Please help me,
My phone doesen´t show the slide to unlok screen anymore and i don´t know how to enable it without password.
Tks a lot.
Just press start or Windows butten. Then press the left butten it should say something like lock or lock screen or something. And to dissable password just go to Settings - Security and change the setting there
I had this too. I randomly found that holding down the on/off hardware key brings up a menu. Select 'Lock Device' and the screen will lock. After this it will now always lock when you turn off. I hope this works for you too
I am currently using MyMetroLock, and SOMETIMES if I don't have a lock code on, and I slide the slider across the screen, it doesn't unlock my screen. Basically I can slide the slider back and forth the screen, and the screen won't unlock.
Anyway, got around that problem by turning the lock code on, and work's fine. BUT there has been problems with this lock screen, with the lock code ON. Basically I had my HTC to backup every Monday @ 4am (via SPB backup), and it soft resets. So this morning after waking up, I moved the slider on screen, and tapped in my phone lock code, and kept getting message saying lock code was incorrect. So had to HARD RESET
Now this isn't the first time this has happened, it's happened a FEW times, and have now decided to get rid of the MyMetroLock. So managed to uninstall MyMetroLock, but then I have no lock slider lock screen on my HTC. The lock screen I have is a basic version, tap unlock bottom left screen.
How do I get back the HTC version of the slider lock screen?
Ok, have figured out how to get the HTC slider lock scrren back, as that was in the LOCK menu.
However still having the same problem with the slider. A few times I am able to lock phone, and unlock using the slider. Then if I slide the slider across the screen, the phone won't unlock. The slider don't freeze, as I am able to slide it back and fore the screen, but the phone stays locked.
Any ideas? As I have had to revert to using the "windows classic" unlock display
I found numerous threads about this by searching, but no solution. Surely there's a way to disable the slide lock mechanism so that the phone goes straight to pattern lock...? I found widgets that will remove both, but not just the slide one. I'd prefer to do this without root, but also would be interested in how to do it if root is the only method.
Bump...is this just not possible rooted or otherwise?
+1... same here.
I hate to have to slide lock and then pattern lock. Wondering this myself.
Anyone?
Another bump... still wondering if there's a solution to this...
CM 7 has the pattern lock screen with no slide to unlock. You just press the unlock button on the top of the phone, and it goes straight to the pattern unlock screen. You do the pattern, and the phone is unlocked.
CM 7 RC 1 that is..
I just bought the Droid Turbo and I encrypted my phone with a PIN. Now when my phone is in between the screen off and the 5 minute lock time for the pin access, if you press the power button it automatically goes to the home screen. On my 5 other Android phones in between the screen off and the PIN lock out time if you press the power button you still have to slide to unlock. Is there any way to get this back? Or a 3rd party app that will let me do this without disabling the security PIN? I have tried several KitKat and Lollipop lock screen apps but they all remove the pin lock security. I do have the Tasker app but i am unsure how to set this option up. Thanks for any help. If I need to explain the issue better let me know.

I don't think it is available that way with Moto Display. On my Moto X 2013 it doesn't do that either. Because there is a slide unlock on the Moto/Active Display when there are notifications or when the device moves, you slide there to either get the notification or go to the home screen.

I like that feature however, if I press the power button it goes straight to the home screen without sliding to unlock. I dont like that. I want to have to slide to unlock even if I press the power button.

You would probably need a 3rd party lock screen to do that, but I think you'd then always swipe to PIN, after that 5 minutes passed. You can only select one lock screen type on Moto X, so it is either slide OR PIN/Password, but you can't have both. I know what you're referring to, I had it on my Droid X and Droid Razr Maxx, but the only way to turn those on was with the power button. Because the newer Moto phones have Active/Moto Display, I think it works as the slide unlock.
I can say that over time you will use the power button less and less, because you will get used to the Active Display. It's a hard habit to shake, but you'll actually find yourself turning your phone on less to check notifications. On my Moto X I pick it up and see there is a notification (or see it "breathing" an unread notification) and if I press and hold on the circled notification I can see the details. So I can see what the text is, who the email is from, what the tweet is, etc and if I don't care to unlock and view I can swipe left/right to clear it without every actually turning the screen on or unlocking the phone.
If you control the apps that are able to show on Active Display and only places ones you really care about, you'll turn your phone on even less and only for the things you feel are important.
Tasker to add slide to unlock with PIN

I use Tasker and Secure Settings to set/remove my PIN based on my home WIFI connection (it turns PIN off when I'm at home).
Setup your profile with Tasker first, then create an action and select Plugins (or 3rd party, I forget), and select Secure Settings. You'll have a big list of options, Keyguard is under Actions and Password/PIN is under Dev Admin actions. You'll need to enable Secure Settings as a device administrator in your phone settings.
You will probably need to have a profile that sets keyguard when the screen shuts off and waits 5 minutes, then disables keyguard and turns on PIN/Password lock. Then another profile that resets the status to recycle it once you unlock the phone.
Can you post the step by step instructions. I have never used Tasker before and I am completely lost.

There's an option to Lock Immediately on Power or something. In security settings. Or just reduce your time out.
