Not sure if anyone has tried but when you set a PIN, lock pattern etc after you have set the update, it doesn't actually require you to enter this lock pattern / PIN when you turn the screen back on.
Occasionally it does but generally you can unlock the phone simply by swiping the stand unlock screen bar across the screen.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Even if you don't is anyone experiencing the same situation??

Hello everyone,
I hate it when my phone decides to call people all by itself. I've since found that my pattern unlock no longer works. It first happened with the CyanogenMod 4.2.9.1 and still happens now with 4.2.10.1.
I can disable the lock, edit a new pattern and re-enable it and it still chooses not to lock. Pressing the home key just brings me back to the home screen when the phone is asleep. It seems to remember the pattern as if I try and change it I need to get the old pattern right until it lets me make a change.
If anyone can help it will be much appreciated.
Is anyone else anoyed by the redundant unlock process with 2.2? In 2.1 I had a pattern unlock only, you were able to disable the single swipe thing. Now it appears if you activate any kind of unlock (pattern, PIN, password) you will have to swipe the screen first to even get to the unlock pattern. Why? Only way to delete the swipe is to have no unlock pattern at all.
I did at first but I found out that you can control music with that lock screen. So when I have it hooked up in my car I dont have to unlock the phone just to change the song. After a while I just got used to it...
I had it disabled when I upgraded... now it's nowhere to be seen. WidgetLocker it is. Sort of your problem reversed.
ah ha! i knew i wasn't hallucinating. I had some audio controls for pandora even in 2.1 at one point, but they mysteriously disappeared. anyone know how to get that feature back?
Hello, looking for some help with resetting my phone's lock screen pattern unlock. I use fingerprint unlock as my primary unlock method and lock screen pattern unlock as my secondary. Recently, I've gotten into the habit of unlocking my phone via pattern instead of fingerprint. However as I tried to unlock my phone via pattern unlock yesterday, it didn't accept it and my phone locked me out for periods of time. I can still unlock my phone via fingerprint and if I'm in a trusted location (Home). I have no idea why my pattern is no longer being accepted.
As I'm still able to unlock my phone via fingerprint/trusted location, I went to settings to reset my lock screen pattern, but it requires the lock screen pattern to reset/change to a new lock screen pattern. Because my lock screen pattern is not being accepted I can't change/reset my lock screen pattern.
Is there anyway I can get around lock screen pattern to change to a new lock screen pattern?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Thanks guys, I was actually able to unlock and reset the pattern with 'Find My Mobile' Samsung service.
Hi onechionly,
How were you able to reset the pattern?
My wife ran into the same thing with her Samsung Galaxy Edge S7. She had a pattern and fingerprint set up. One day, her pattern no longer worked but the fingerprint worked fine. She can unlock with the fingerprint but if she had to change lock options (new pattern or a PIN), the phone asks for her pattern lock and she can't get further.
We logged into her Find My Mobile, but I couldn't find an option to "reset" the pattern. The closest thing I found was to lock her phone using a PIN and she can go in, but that's not the issue. The phone requires a pattern to access further security options in Settings.
If you provide more details, I would greatly appreciate it.
I currently have no password on my lock screen meaning that anyone can unlock my phone. But when I go into my device settings to set a password for the lock screen it ask's me to enter a pin. I can't for the life of me remember what this pin is as before I had always used the fingerprint unlock and never a pin? But this means that I now can't secure my lock screen. Does anyone know if there is a way around this - e.g any way I can change it through my Google account online or something?
Hello everyone.
My Moto e4 sometimes gets stuck on lockscreen while I'm unlocking it. I swipe up, I insert the unlock pattern and the phone doesn't unlock. I am able to do an emergency call or go back to lock screen, but it doesn't do anymore, so I'm forced to reboot the phone. It happens with digit code too. If I enable the fingerprint sensor to unlock, It often has the same problem, except that I can read a strange message under the lockscreen's clock saying something that sounds like "fingerprint sensor not detected". As always, I need to reboot the phone to unlock it. Does someone else had this kind of problem?
Thanks in advance!
