So recently I decided to try using manual brightness as opposed to auto brightness. There is one big problem that I found that is causing it to be inconvenient.
My Android locks with a password. When I turn the phone on, I can't adjust the brightness since it is on a lock screen. This kinda sucks if I try to unlock my phone in direct sunlight, and can't adjust.
Anyone know of a workaround??? Telling me to turn off my password is not an option.
Carry a parasol?

Nice alternative, but not applicable either due to corporate security.
If I remember correctly, Tasker doesn't work well adjusting the brightness on the Epic. If I am wrong though, you could easily create a Tasker profile to turn the brightness all the way up when the power button is pressed or something like that.

There is a cool trick how to see desktop of the phone if it is protected with the password. It does work on S3 I've tried it on my phone.

Actually just tested and it works, managed to make a call by carrying out the process a few quick times.
Not sure what, other than making calls this could do though.

Depending on the device, it allows FULL access to the phone.
I can not open the previous reply link but here is the video where some guy with a bit of effort completely disables the lockscreen code http://shkspr.mobi/blog/2013/03/new-bypass-samsung-lockscreen-total-control/
Latest jkay fixes this bug.

I don't know what's happened or going on, but I jave no quick settings in the notification panel!
Even in the settings part on the panel, it's completely void of any toggles to select.
I've just set up the phone to how I like it, so I'd REALLY like to avoid a factory reset if possible (assuming that would fix it)
Any help would be appreciated.
Did you check the main settings to make sure they didn't get disabled?

That is all completely blank, and when you tap that red circled settings button, no icons show up in the screen that takes you to either.

How can you disable them?
I'm sure I didn't do that.
I had exactly the same problem after doing a factory reset. But another factory reset fixed it..
You'll lose your data, so back up first.

update touchscreen firmware, if not, it's a hardware defect.
there's plenty of these threads around
You can try update firmware but probably won't help. I have it too, for the second time. The fix is to replace the screen.
It often happens when charging the phone while doing something that makes it heat up. The cpu gets too hot and fries that part of the screen.
It can definitely happen without charging. I'm using a different phone now.

Ether turn off always on display or let the screen time all the way out. The screen saver will not turn on if aod starts. That was my issue anyway. Good luck.
I have AOD turned off & let the screen timeout and let it sit and the screen saver never turned on?

I've been having this same problem! I'm currently running the U firmware on an att edge. When we go into screensaver settings, the "More" button isn't there, just "Preview". Therefore, we can't set the phone to use the screensaver while charging, its only set to do it while docked. Anybody know of any way to make that "More" button appear or perhaps another way to get into those particular settings?
Yep same here only the preview button shows

Hi,
is there some option which will leave phone unlocked for specific time after last use ? Like when I am in dark room face recognition does not work and I dont want to put finger or pattern everytime that message comes. IPhone has app called Mesalation for that and I am so used to it.
So basically I want to leave everything ON but I want to be without security stuff for a specific time every time after I lock the phone. Leaving screen on for specific time is not an option, I lock it everytime with a button.
Thanks
There is something like this in Settings>Lock Screen and Security>Secure lock settings. Uncheck Power button instantly locks and set auto lock delay to the amount you need.

Wow that was fast and accurate ! Bravo !
I have Croatian language on it so translation is in half the cases idiotic like this one. This phone has more options to set the phone for your needs than HTC U11 and iPhone 7 combined.
Thanks a lot !
