Wanted to change to the screen lock where you do a certain pattern as opposed to just slide across screen. But when I enable it, the original slide across the screen lock is there as well so I end up having to unlock that, then the pattern lock.
So how do I turn off the one that just slides across the screen???

You don't, it's impossible for now (without root).
Bollocks. Is it one of the many things that Orange have added? Like the also very annoying backup pish that kept popping up!!
Nope, it's in the generic firmware too.
Argh! So what's the point then!! I don't want two different locks!! Other than that, the phone is fantastic!!
The point is.. if you fail the pattern too many times then it locks the phone up completely.. so not having the swipe to unlock screen would cause many problems..!!

Doesn't lock up the phone (I tried it when I had it ), it just creates a 30 second timeout!

I have the same problem (Xperia Neo), I'm rooted. How do I remove the slide-unlock-thingy and keep only the pattern-unlock?
The only method I know is an app called Antilock that skips the slide to unlock screen but keeps the pattern unlock

I have password on my phone, one or two times a day the phone locks up, and i need to pull out batteri. It looks normal, but i cant envoke the passwork screen. If i get a call, it 'wakes up' again and i can use it.
Anybody seen this error?

This happens to me. Sometimes when I go to use it, it doesn't say that it is locked, it just looks like it is locked up. The first few times I pulled the battery like you but then I thought that maybe it was just a glitch. I hit the unlock key (left soft button) even though it doesn't say unlock (I think it shows the start menu) and it brought up the code screen. I punched in my code and then I saw the main screen. Sometimes it works from here, sometimes it doesn't but if it doesn't I just hit the end key and it works. Don't ask me why it does this but whatever. I prefer to keep a lock on the device so I don't mind dealing with this little glitch.
I have also encountered that...was wondering if anyone has a solution besides not locking it, which is currently what Im doing right now. But I would prefer locking it.
Or if anyone is on customized ROM, does this actually happen?
Im on WM6.5 standard ROM.
Ok the flip down to unlock the phone is an ok idea I guess. However, I noticed 2 things.
1: When you bring your phone up with the "Flip screen down to unlock" message, you can just press "Menu" and it unlocks it.
2: When I am at work, I keep my phone in my pocket. Several times I have pulled my phone out and it is in the middle of different programs. So somehow the phone get's unlocked when in my pocket.
Is their anything numerical I can do to have to punch in a sequence of numbers to unlock the phone? I am not a fan of the "Draw the line" option the Hero has. So I wanted to see what, if any, other options are out there for locking and unlocking the phone (not a root type of unlock, a screen lock)
Thank you,

OOOOOOLD issues. We have all cursed HTC for their way of thinking in this matter.
I would love to use the pattern to unlock, but don't want to have to slide to unlock and enter the pattern. I tried apps that take away the slide to unlock ("No Lock", etc.), but they take away both. Is this possible?
Yes. Get " no lock" dev is BoD
I have it, I use it, love it.
you must be doing something wrong in settings. It does just the slide on my EVO.

So let me get this straight. When you power on your phone, all you see is the pattern to unlock, and after the pattern to unlock your phone is unlocked?
If my "No Lock" app disables lock, then when I power on my phone I get no slide or pattern to unlock, despite pattern to unlock being activiated. Once I enable locking in "No Lock," then both slide and then pattern unlock are back.
Is this not the case for you? I tried all kinds of different things to no avail...
I found found the same problem in other threads. I would link to them but I am too new and XDA wont let me.
Oh snap...my bad...guess it doesn't anymore? I had my lock pattern off for a while now and just re-enabled it and low and behold...kills em both.
When I first installed It shortly after EVO launch day it killed just the slide portion....must have changed through a update? Sorry.
I have tried over 4 different ROM's trying to get this...bug to stop. A lot of the time when I try to unlock my device, each time I slide to unlock, my screen goes black...and I have to keep unlocking my screen to get it to go to my home screen. This is so frustrating, it can take 20+ unlock attempts to get it to actually unlock. Is anyone else having this issue or does anybody know how I can fix this?
Never seen this... I use a pattern lock, but never seen anything like this on any Android device except once when my Nexus One was swamped with logging from a crappy app on the market, and it just simply wasn't receiving input.

I'm going to try wiping my device out completely and going back to stock to see if that solves it... sigh.
Wiped all data, flashed to stock....nothing. I also tried other lock screen styles like PIN and Password... same thing. Is this something I would be able to RMA for? Do I go through Gamestop or Asus for it?

I've been having this issue as well. I did a little digging, and it looks like it's usually due to the case. For some people, it's static buildup from the case. For me, it's because I have a case with a magnetic closure that turns off the screen when I close it. The magnet is pretty strong, so when I fold the front cover around the back of my Nexus 7, it can still turn off the screen immediately after I unlock it.
Try fiddling with your case when you have this issue. It might resolve the problem.
I have a security issue, unless its me being silly.
I am fully stock unrooted.
I have never had any problem until today and I realised my phone unlocked without a pass code or finger print, I know this because I always wear rubber gloves and have to type the pin in to get into my phone, I do this day in day out and today after several unlocks it stopped asking for the pin.
I have uploaded a video showing what happens
It funny though because when I click the lock on the bottom of the unlock screen it prompts me for a pin or finger print, but if I don't touch the lock, just a simple swipe unlocks it.
Is there something I have pressed by accident which causes this?

Check your smart lock settings. Is anything enabled?

I can't replicate the issue here - not sure what would cause this other than the smart bluetooth lock as suggested by the above poster.

I haven't changed anything, I have cleaned the finger print sensor, no new apps installed.
Weird
Put it on charge and it's fixed it's self!
