EDIT: Just realized I was in the Dev section and this should have been posted in General, sorry.
Never had Froyo before, just wondering if this change is just part of Froyo itself or just the update we received.
Just seems that I can't turn off or modify the Security Lock. I used to just have my pattern, but now you have the unlock it and then do the pattern. Not a huge deal...just an extra step.
Thanks!
I miss my slide slide lock
The 2.2 update dropped that feature which also prevents us from having a slide only unlock. You have the option of pin lock, pattern lock, or password lock. No more just the standard android slide to unlock. Please tell me I'm missing something here. Hope its just hiding in plain sight =/

No, you can still have standard slide unlock. Just disable screen unlock security in the settings.
Maybe mine is messed up. If I turn off security it has no unlock feature. I press the top unlock button and it takes me straight to the home screen.
Hmm yeah, that's weird. It actually got me thinking, if I were to disable lock screen completely, I don't see an option there except that Security unlock option. Which is set to None for me right now.
Yeah I checked with other fellow x owners and they have the same problem. Any one else having this issue? Or maybe a fix?

It's not just the ota I've had this issue from the very first 2.2 leak. I miss that option.

Not sure this applies to anyone, but I noticed I now have an enforced security policy from the exchange server my X is connected to. I have to either use the pass-code or password. I can't use none or the pattern unlock.
So, if you have a corporate exchange account they can enforce specific security requirements. They can also remote wipe your phone if you loose it, which seems nice for the corporate world.

^false information. Myself and 3 coworkers with the OTA 2.2 all have the same issue with this redundant unlock process. You are no longer able to ONLY have to slide to unlock or ONLY have a pattern/pin/passowrd to unlock. You have to make this redundant slide to unlock then enter pattern. Not a big deal just an annoying extra step for no apparent reason/benefit. This is my biggest complaint w/2.2. Everything else is gravy!

I'm not on OTA, but 2.3.15 Leak. Should be the same. I can set it to just Slide or Slide/Pattern. I can't set it to just Pattern.
Edit: Hard reset makes the stock slide unlock come back.
My co worker did the upgrade and has access to the slide only unlock. I'm thinking about a hard reset to see if that will fix it.

I can tell by all the lock screens and mods such as this that this may be doable. I bought the phone a day after launch and immediately wanted this:
Disable Menu-Menu to unlock
Disable the HTC lock screen (pulldown style - I hate this)
Most importantly - Only the END key should power the phone (not MENU) and it will go straight to the pattern unlock.
Please and thanks. Currently on DamageControl v2.05.
Awesome idea. The only reason I don't use a pattern is because it's a pain to go through 2 lockscreens if your phone locks itself while browsing the web or something.
Go for it!! Let us know how it turns out...
I would pay $10 to disable menu to unlock. I found an app on the marketplace that did it once, but it was very buggy and caused more problems than it solved.
I would also like a keypad (as in, numbers) instead of pattern unlock.

I'm running Freshhh 2.0d with the Vanilla lock screen, and flipz has made it to where menu, menu will not unlock the phone. Pressing menu does turn the display back on, but you have to actually swipe on the screen to unlock. I have been using it for a day or two now, and I have to say that it works great. My phone doesn't randomly unlock in my pocket anymore, and I don't have to use the security unlock to keep it from doing it!!! Thanks flipz!!!
A lockscreen with numbers like on the iphone and the palm pre would be nice. i dont like the pattern one.

Strange.... I am running the same Vanilla Lock Screen from Geekforme/Fresh on Damage Control v.2.05 and Menu Menu bypasses the lock screen and Menu (once) powers the display with the Eclair style lock screen.
EDIT: I see what you're talking about now. That's nice, almost perfect, now all I want is the Eclair lock screen disabled too and to go straight to Pattern!! So close!

Paypaling right now. It's ABOUT time someone did this!
How can I disable vibrate/haptic feedback during unlock on the vanilla lockscreen now?

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.
Normally I use Widget Locker, so I'm not sure how this all works...
I've set a pattern which comes on if the phone is off for 3 minutes. When that happens, first I have to swipe down and then also put the pattern in.
Can it not be set to one or the other? Simple down swipe if before 3 mins, just the pattern if longer than 3 minutes?
I've looked through options but I can't see any way to set it this way
Same problem here, my samsung galaxy s doesn't have this double lock issue
Yeah, me too.
I mentioned it to HTC Support, they said they'd pass on the feedback.
If they get enough comments they might do something about it!?

If you enable the pattern lock, you need to go through with 2 locks...this is the way it has been since 1.6. If you disable the pattern lock, its just the Swipe all the way.
looks like the Swype will stay ON whatever you do.

Nope, not on standard Android. On the N1 you press the power button and get the pattern lock.
Maybe it's always been like that on HTC Sense... not necessary though.
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...

Hey,
is it possible to unlock the phone with fingerprints without having to lock the phone with pins or something?
The only reason for me using the fingerprint unlock is that it's the quickest and easiest way of unlocking the phone.
I don't need/ want the extra "security".
I think no, but why would you wan't to disable PIN since you don't need to use it?

So, what happens that time you just can't get the fingerprint to unlock?
The PIN/Pattern is there for that eventuality.
If need be it's there for someone else to unlock if there is an emergency and you can't use your fingerprint.

To clarify things: I want no unnecessary "security".
Just fingerprint unlock and swiping to unlock.
When I tap on notifications, I want them to open up immediately instead of asking for pin or anything.

If I'd disable the pin, it would also disable the fingerprint unlock. But I just want fingerprint and swipe to unlock.
I don't want the pins or anything else to block the unlocking when I double tap on a notification.
Wait, if you have swipe to unlock (to access your notifications), why would you need fingerprint access? You (or anyone else) could just double tap your notifications to see them and then have full access to your system.
Outside of the first unlock after a reboot, you can just use your fingerprint to unlock when you see the PIN screen (such as when double tapping a notification).
Either way though, the answer is "No." You cannot have fingerprint authentication without a PIN/Pattern lock on any Android (or iOS device for that matter). The systems won't allow it.

If you have both fingerprint unlock and pin enabled you only need to enter your pin the first time after boot. After entering it that one time you will be able to unlock your screen with fingerprint only until you reboot the phone again. Entering the pin once isn't that much of an inconvenience.
I think its really required to have a backup security when using a fingerprint to unlock the phone. Though you just have to unlock it once with pin and then fingerprint all the way!

The problem is still that I want swipe + fingerprint.
I don't use the fingerprint as security. I use it to unlock it quicker.
I use the pattern. And I don't want others to be locked out of my phone. And I don't want to say what my pattern is all the time.
And I want to be able to open a notification just by a double tap.
It's inconcovient to use double tap AND fingerprint to open a simple notification.
Xposed isn't going to help at all in this case. Sorry, but the API (Application Program Interface) that deals with fingerprints is very strict in what it can/can't do and that's by design. This cannot be modified.
Your best option is to use something like Smart Lock, where you can have the phone automatically unlock when connected to a trusted Wi-Fi, Bluetooth device, or even carrying the phone.

Haha thanks, but they also have their points. You really need a backup security method if you're using biometric unlocking. For example, you're using a fingerprint, iris scanner, or face recognition, it is really required to have a backup "secured" "in-screen" unlocking method for your phone. It means that, when your biometric scanners broke for some reason, you have other way to unlock it.
Its a no brainer for the developers to allow fingerprint for unlocking then if it fails, you just have to swipe the phone to unlock. Unless its really for speed of, I guess, half a second of your life. It's really an essential feature, because in a case when your phone gets stolen, the thief can just break the scanner or just try it a lot until it requires you to just "unsecured" swipe it up. So I'll advice you to just use half a second of your life to unlock a pattern (the easiest and fastest other way). You just have to swipe at least 4 dots and then your phone is now secured the easiest and fastest way.
I think what he meant was that he wants to unlock his phone with the home button as an unlock button, and without any fingerprint security. Am I right?
Let me correct myself. Literally no one understood what I mean.
Just close this thread if possible. I'm not writing anymore.
We did understand what you are wanting to do; we've just said that it is not possible.

This is exactly what OP wants, convenience without security.
But since it can't be done, the next best thing is remove security and double tap to wake up.
