I am using a dot pattern for security to unlock my phone now so how do I make the initial drag/slide lock go away? I want the dots to show as soon as I turn on the screen, rather than having to slide unlock first everytime.
Thx
You can't do it. I managed to do it by keeping a titanium backup file of Settings Storage from version 2.1 u1. I restore it, set my lock pattern, and it completely disables the slide to unlock.
bummmer
is this still the case? no way to turn off slide to unlock and keep pattern?

I decided to use the 'lock' icon...and set up my phone with a numeric lock. Now I absolutely HATE it....
Is there any way I can stop the phone from using the numeric lock?
Also, if I download and decide to use that sliding unlock program, will that override the numeric lock if there's no way the phone can stop using the numeric lock??

Goto start menu, settings, I think Lock is on the first screen to turn it off. If you use slide to unlock there is no input to unlock. just the slider.
Thank you very much!
Now....trying to figure out how to do the slide to unlock thing....
Copy the cab to your phone thru active sync or SD card. Soft reset after install. Then goto programs and start S2U2. You might get a error msg after install. Pay it no mind.
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.
I like the idea of having a security pattern lock on my phone, but what I hate about the X10 (or it's an android thing) is if I do the security pattern I still have to slide the slider over to unlock the screen. Is there a way to configure this so I just use the unlock/security pattern as my unlock screen.
You guys understand what I mean?!

alot of custom ROMS, you don't have to slide anything if you have pattern/password/PIN lock on. when you wake the screen you are greeted with whichever security feature you chose and you enter your pattern/password/PIN and you're in
Hi,
my phone often unlocks the EPD while I have it in my pocket because of the swipe up feature to unlock.
Does anyone of you know if it is possible to unlock the EPD only with the button ?
Thanks in advance
I think a pattern has to be set or pin etc to remove this feature
.
The swipe feature is still active if a pattern is set I don't know why but it's definitely a bug.
Fix for deactivating swipe from bottom of the screen after setting a security lock is to reboot.

I've had the s6 and the lock screen would actually set the way you wanted. I've set up my fingerprints and set the lock screen type to fingerprints, but it still shows the stupid "swipe screen to unlock" lock screen and ignores the fingerprint setting. I checked the smart lock settings and none of those are active. Any ideas what to try next?
Use your finger. Don't swipe.

Settings > Quick Settings > Lock screen and security > Secure lock settings > Secured lock time > Instantly with the power key or when the screen times out
Basically it is defaulted to not lock the phone until it has been off for 10 minutes, meaning you do not need to use the fingerprint to unlock it if you have recently done so.
Set it as I said and you will be required to use fingerprints every time (or a pin, pattern, or whatever secondary method you chose) and it will unlock directly to your homescreen.

Really? Why did you bother with that?
On the off chance you're being serious and not thread-crapping, the screen will only unlock via swipe. no matter the actual setting, it still acts like swipe is the lock screen setting.

THANK YOU! That is possibly the stupidest, least secure default setting they could have chosen! I like Samsung, but they make it hard sometimes. How stupid. Thanks!
I am having same problem & have my phone set to lock immediately. Frustrating bcuz I want that security feature & it's not working.
update: smart lock and my gear fit watch together, were the culprit
Take off all lock options on your s7... then download gesture lock screen from the play store and set it up. It gets rid of the swipe and you can also customize it a lot more. I just got the s7 and was about to return it, especially after seeing so many threads with this problem, but gesture lock screen works perfect for me. Good luck.
Was having the same issue. Would ask for swipe motion after locking if I attempted to use phone by pressing home screen button. As soon as I disabled Bluetooth it started to prompt for finger print again.
it works...

Thanks S7EdgeGirl, it worked fine after I turned off my bluetooth option...now its asking me for the finger print to UNLOCK..
Crazy..........................
thaks a lot..this helped me out...
Issue for me was the Samsung smart watch was listed as a trusted device in Smart Lock. Turn this off and now it locks immediately as intended.
Hey guys, i have finally got the solution!!!! It is happening because of the smart lock option. Please disable it. What smart lock does is, when u unlock the device it remains unlocked until its with you for emergency kind of thing. If you disable smart lock it will prompt you for entering pattern or any other which you have set. Thank you....

I have the same problem with c9pro
Guys please help. I already set my pattern and fingerprints lock in my c9pro but when i locked and immediately switch on the screen, my phone can unlock using swipe only
I already set Lock screen setting > secure lock setting > lock instantly with power key is ON
But still only need swipe to unlock
What should i do?
Thanks
My s7 stuck on swipe. BT off set for fingerprints initially restated phone went through "new" security measures then after first fingerprint opening reverts to swipe. Changed to no security restarted then 're set up still no good. Figuring it was fingerprints changed to pin set up still works as swipe....frustrating
