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.

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 ...
Ok the flip down to unlock the phone is an ok idea I guess. However, I noticed 2 things.
1: When you bring your phone up with the "Flip screen down to unlock" message, you can just press "Menu" and it unlocks it.
2: When I am at work, I keep my phone in my pocket. Several times I have pulled my phone out and it is in the middle of different programs. So somehow the phone get's unlocked when in my pocket.
Is their anything numerical I can do to have to punch in a sequence of numbers to unlock the phone? I am not a fan of the "Draw the line" option the Hero has. So I wanted to see what, if any, other options are out there for locking and unlocking the phone (not a root type of unlock, a screen lock)
Thank you,

OOOOOOLD issues. We have all cursed HTC for their way of thinking in this matter.
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
I have a security issue, unless its me being silly.
I am fully stock unrooted.
I have never had any problem until today and I realised my phone unlocked without a pass code or finger print, I know this because I always wear rubber gloves and have to type the pin in to get into my phone, I do this day in day out and today after several unlocks it stopped asking for the pin.
I have uploaded a video showing what happens
It funny though because when I click the lock on the bottom of the unlock screen it prompts me for a pin or finger print, but if I don't touch the lock, just a simple swipe unlocks it.
Is there something I have pressed by accident which causes this?

Check your smart lock settings. Is anything enabled?

I can't replicate the issue here - not sure what would cause this other than the smart bluetooth lock as suggested by the above poster.

I haven't changed anything, I have cleaned the finger print sensor, no new apps installed.
Weird
Put it on charge and it's fixed it's self!

Hi everyone,
I notice that I can bypass my fingerprintsensor with tapping 3 times with the wrong finger on it and after the third time, the phone is unlocked.
I am on the last stock oxygenOS.
Does somebody else have this bug?
No.
No.
Yes I found that since the 1st day.
Now I tried twice with with a unregistered finger with the 3rd try another unregistered finger and it is unlocked!!!!
not all the time.

Doesn't happen to me. Have you got a pattern enabled?
After 3 failed finger print attempts the phone prompts for a pattern.
After testing, I was shocked to see that this worked on my phone...but after a little testing, it only unlocks on the third attempt when the phone has a smartlock device connected and doesn't require a PIN anyways.
If I turn Bluetooth off, the third wrong finger button press simply turns on the screen and asks for my PIN.

Smartlock was the key here!
I turned trusted places "home" off and on the 3rd try asked for the pin code.
So basically if I'm in trusted places or connected to a trusted device after 3 consecutive failed fingerprints it will open my phone without pin code

I think that's the point of smart Lock... ? So you don't have to unlock even with FP. Just swipe up and it should unlock...
That is interesting. Would only work around safety devices/places?
