Activesync lock screen...

I have my company email synced to the evo. The exchange policy requires the lockscreen to be present. I don't mind unlocking after ten minutes of non-use but it's becoming somewhat tedious to unlock after it's in standby for a minute.
Is there a better / faster unlock screen? Would a new keyboard help?
Thanks.

There'd an app called app protector that does app level security. It should provide the same level of security.

for putting a pattern unlock instead. If you dont want any type of security, then all you have to do is install "lockpicker" from the market, run it, and check the box that says start service.

Great. Thank you.

Disable slide to unlock ?!

Is there any way to disable the slide to unlock feature and just have the pattern unlock ?

Also in this boat, searching leads to several threads like this

Yes you need to uncheck the auto launch of the play app.
I don't recall where I seen it.
I'll post when I find it.

Open the play app, push the menu button and select settings.
Then uncheck auto start.

Forget what I said.
I thout you meant when you slid the screen and not the slide bar on the screen.
There is no way that I have found.

That's where we go to set the pattern unlock, what we want to know is how to remove the slide to unlock that comes up before the pattern unlock

This needs a bump, so here it is. I'm in this boat all of a sudden because my employer enforces an entry code for devices for a corporate account. I'm getting really unhappy having to slide, enter pin every time !

Try the app "antilock"
Its free on the market and does exactly what you want, I believe. I use it myself so I don't need to slide twice as I use widgetlocker
Hope this helps!

works like a charm!

Uninstalling, sometime after turning the app on my phone started to act "funny" or erratic... After uninstall everything seems to be normal again.

Security Flaw in our phones

Hi!
I just noticed that when the screen is locked and you double tap the home butten, the voice control will start. Then you are able to just go to your homescreen. Is this happening on your sgs2's too?
Found it on Villain Rom 1.1

delet sorry

Yep same here using KE7 XEU (stock version) and default lock screen.
Double hit home button while in lockscreen and when voice control starts just tap cancle and viola youre on home screen.
But it doesnt happen when you active pattern or number lock.. so its not really a security issue =)

Why does everyone have to put FIVE ALARM FIRE!!! titles in their not so significant posts. If the phone doesn't have lock enabled this is a convenience feature not a security problem.

Then friggin turn off Voice Talk so its not running in the background and turn it back on when you need it. If you need more help, post in Villian's thread in the development forum. No offense, but this isn't front page news.

I mean seriously, do you even read any of the posts before replying?
1) OP said he's running a Villain ROM which means he's rooted and modded.
2) Another poster running Villain can't replicate the problem.
3) No one other than the OP (and I'm assuming even you) can replicate the problem.
4) Who knows what the OP might be running app wise that might be triggering the issue on his phone.
I know I'm not a mod but these little "crisis" posts that start out as embers end up being raging fires. Maybe its because of all the different languages spoken. By all means, if anyone running a stock ROM can replicate this report back. It would indeed then be an issue worthy of the front page and the title "Security Flaw in our phones."

Just to add - I'm using litening 1.1, and I have an enforced exchange PIN.
Double clicking the home button will not get past the password entry screen.
Believe me, I've tried all ROMs and various apps to get around the password, still haven't found one yet.

Hey man, nice one!
I only am stuck at the settings screen, when i choose to add a samsung account, nothing happens.
How can i fix this?

You can use OTG to get to settings and enable ADB but you won't be able to authorize PC so this won't work. Tested on G925A 5.1.1 tested on G925V 5.1.1

The reactivation lock if on. Won't let anything to be flashed via Odin or anything else in download mode, not even samsung service center people could do it (so samsung strictly asks you to disable the lock if you are giving it for repair to them). Now in case you have it on and somehow end up softbricking your phone there won't be any way to fix it. That's why this tutorial could be a lifesaver for those facing such problems

Tested this on VZW 6 edge and it doesnt work, Samsung wont enable add new account.

But how far as I understand lock is in off position by default from factory, shop etc? And what's the point at all to put on or at all to make that future if even Samsung recommend to leave in off position.

Yes it's off by default. Some people turn it on so in case of theft or loss of mobile the other person won't be able to write new rom over it or anything like that. Reactivation lock + fingerprint screen lock make a formidable combination for those wanting protection of data against theft or loss.

Password manager that supports face unlock?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a password manager that supports face unlock?
Thanks

You could always use Tasker and Termux to make any login use the face unlock. I'm sure a lot of apps will support the feature soon, as well.

LastPass has support for it.

Is there a way to temporarily suspend face unlocking when driving coz my phone keeps randomly unlocking. Day time it's not that big of a deal but at night, you get this sudden bright screen right at the corner of your eyes.
