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.

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.
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).
Hi,
Just wondered, is there a way to have a pin on the galaxy s, but also still get the lock screen before the pin screen appears.
At the moment i found a nice lockscreen, had it all set how i like it, but then when i set a pin code i only get a pin screen when i unlock the phone.
I hope you follow what im asking?
Anyone able to shed some light on this?
Could you be litle more detailed with your question????

I hope it´s this.

I know that! But i dont want to go back to Miui. I find stock ROM with a good kernel responds and works better with better battery life IMO.
My question is this:
Set lock screen works great
Then set PIN and you ONLY get a PIN screen and NO LOCK SCREEN at all.
I hope that makes sense?
No one at all?
I use Locale with Password lock plugin they just working as you need, only password/pin requested, no screen unlock action required.
Ops, sorry, I was wrong. It also needs a screen unlock before the password/pin.
For the life of me, I cannot find where the lock screen settinsg are on the SGS3. Anyone let me know?
Thanks!

Yes there are some lock screen settings there but in terms of changing what apps appear on the lockscreen and other type settings it appears that AT&T in their infinite wisdom has decided that's too many options to worry about. Don't want to confuse us users or anything.

Wow...so the reveiws I saw about adding/removing widgets to the lock screen is a moot point for us AT&T folks now...awesome.
How about modifying the apps that are available on the lock screen?
Maybe I'm blind or maybe someone smarter than me can figure it out but I think the only answer is we need root and maybe even need a custom rom to fix (I like to think of it as unbreak).

Is this on an AT&T branded S3? Cause I don't have any menu option "Shortcuts" on mine.
OK nevermind, I figured out why I can't see it. I had Swipe lock with secure lock checked off since I have secure lock turn on automatically every time I hit the power button. Didn't think there was any point in having to swipe twice, once on the dandelion and once on secure lock, but I do see occasionally see the lock screen when it times out without hitting power. Once I enabled swipe lock with secure lock Lock Screen Options went from a greyed out option (which I thought was a header) to a clickable one.

Thanks -that did it
It would be really cool if the camera shortcut would bypass the pattern unlock too. Either way, it is cool as soon as it unlocks the camera appears.
Has anyone tried the text shortcut where you bring the phone to your face and it calls them?

You can change the apps on the lock screen. Settings> security> lock screen options>shortcuts then follow the directions on the screen. I don't think you can have more than four apps on the lock screen, though.

It works from contact view, but it doesn't seem to work from Google Voice text, or messaging text. I'll keep messing with the settings to see if I can get it to work as in the european unboxing event.
