Disable default lock screen - Xperia Arc General

Any one know how to completely disable the default SE lock screen.
I never use it, but it some times pops up unannounced over 3rd party lock screens. like lock bot pro, or WP7 lock.
Iv tried "No lock" and "No lock screen" applications, but it still occurs.
Anyone know any .xml hacks or anything to disable it fully ?

You can disable it with Widgetsoid2.x

Tried that it still keeps creeping up.
Id rather just permanently disable it.
But have no idea how.

No lock
I tried "No Lock", but isn't working with exchange.
I am with Xperia Neo 2.3.3

no one hav any ideas. lol

Why don't you just use WidgetLocker?

widgetlocker has the same problem, the stock lockscreen pops up sometimes

Really? The stock lockscreen only pops-up upon reboot, at least in my device. We are all using an Arc here right?

Widgetlocker can't help
Widgetlocker can't help me. It can't stop SE lock screen or pin lock.
I am whit Xperia Neo Android 2.3.3 and Exchange.

No PIN lock and exchange - email
Everything is so simple. Why nobody don't tell my.
1 - remove all Accounts from Email dependent with MS Exchange.
2 - from Settings/Location&security/Select device administrators, remove email (exchange)
3 - from Settings/Location&security/set up screen lock, select none ( no pin, no pattern, no .....)
4 - then install "Enhanced Email" from market and use it instead of detault email client for all accounts.
Enjoy !?!

No matter what you do and whatever email client you use, if the email client fully supports MS Exchange then it will prompt for password to get into the email program (minimum) and the setting is from Exchange server and not at the client end.

Yes. You are right, but is not necessary to enter the PIN, every time when I UNLOCK the screen.

I hope for your sake that you really entered your gmail account the very first thing you did with the phone? Otherwise you have a hardreset on your hands.

you might also try to input the wrong simcard PIN, PIN2, PUK and PUK2 (don't know if they call it like that everywhere...) too many times to see what happens. Its even better to know how you simcard works ;-)
just kidding, but i would actually just browse the net in order to check this kind of security locks instead of going full ahead and try it on my own device
I haven't been that adventurous myself to see what will happen if I get the unlock pattern wrong three times in a row but I have read that after those three times you will get a chance to enter your login information (login&pass) to validate your account information with Google... what happens then I have no idea of...

How bored were you?
Tested one more time - i'm already afret HR.
[nice one: Android Market displayed long time a go installed apps]
no need to remember what whas the name of app that does (...) did't know...
ok:
After 5x wrong input device locks for 30sec.
Then You need to make a mistake 10x and wait 30sec. more.
15x is the third limit... again 30sec.
then it locks it self for 30sec. every time when pattern is bad.
But there is no warning message at all :/
No gmail login authorisation.
Dont know why...

Mail Tab bug - please help to confirm

I notice a bug in the HTC Sense Mail tab, but I like someone to confirm.
ASsuming you have configure your mail a/c, go to the mail tab, and tap on the email message (i.e. the screen that shows the email content, not the left or right softkey).
it should bring out the mail client, but for me it doesn't. Can anybody confirm this?
I have that problem too sometimes. seems to come and go but I dont find it a big deal since the inbox is accessible so easily anyway
btw Im from sg as well
This is a known problem in the 1.48.XXX ROM.
To make it work again, try to go to the Start Menu and Lock your screen manually.
Somehow if you do this, tapping on the mail icon works again.

Phone lock on hd2

Hello!
I have a problem with my hd 2.
Somehow I activated the phone lock, i'm not sure how it happened, as I know where the setting is and I don't recall activating it.
The problem is that I can't figure out how to deactivate it again (the check box "Prompt if phone unused for" is grayed out, can't uncheck it)
I can change the settings, like, how much time before it locks up or what password I want to use, but no disable.
I really don't want this phone lock to be activated so if anyone could tell me what to do to deactivate it i'd be most grateful!
Tried to search the forums for it but couldn't find anything.
Thanks!
try clearing the password fields, and changing the time to 0 minutes, and then see if it'll let you untick the box.
You can disable auto lock with BsB Tweaks. That's probably the easiest method.

MidnightDraven: thanks, I tried that but it won't let me clear the password field, just keeps saying that it's not allowed to keep it blank, even if I set the time to 0.....
johncmolyneux: I'll give it a go
Thanks both of you for replying

I tried out this application, and disabled the "auto lock" function, but I still get prompted when I reboot my phone, that I have to type in the phone lock code ?
Seems to have worked other than that....any other ideas as to how I can get rid of it completely ?
I don't know what to say mate. I just set mine to lock and require a pin, but it let me untick the "prompt if unused" checkbox and blanked out the password for me when I did it. It's now back to the way it was.
Have you installed any software recently?

Weird...
Well i'm using topix ROM which I got from these forums, and only other thing I have installed is the cab that makes the battery shown in %.
Could it be the topix ROM perhaps?

It's possible. Try raising the issue in the thread you got the ROM from. I'm sure someone else would have seen the issue if it is caused by that ROM.
Figured it out

Figured out why it got activated!
When I setup the exchange connection for my workplace must be some sort of security policy, that forces you to activate the phone lock if you want to sync the emails, can't find away around it, but at least the mystery is solved
Thanks again for your help!

Hi,
I Have the same issue with exchange.
But there is no other option to disable it? some reg modification?
Hi all,
I've just got my HD2 and it's the first Windows Mobile device I've synced with my exchange server. Had the same thing and it really bugged me but I found a work around. If you're an Exchange admin (or you're in good with those who are), Google search for Exchange-2003-Mobile-Messaging-Part2-Uncovering-Device-Security-Policies - use the first link. You can disable the requirement for a password globally, or you can specify an individual user to exclude from the password policy. I've just added my username in as an exclusion and it works like a treat!
Good luck

Double email notifications?

I've asked multiple people about this and haven't been able to find the answer. Everytime I get an email I get two notifications one with the yahoo icon and then the red one with the @ sign. I go under accounts and under motoblur accounts it shows the @ icon and shows my email address. I use yahoo. When I press on that it doesn't let me change the username but let's me put in a password yet I can't remove that account. Basically, how do I stop from getting double notifications
Settings- data manager- data delivey- email and corprate sync- notifications...
Uncheck notifications.
That will get rid of the red one with [email protected] sign.
(Thanks are welcome if that fixed it for you. )
Ill get back with you to let you know how that worked
Need hotmail notifications
I'm also having an email notifications issue. It's a little different but I don't think it needs it own thread.
I use hotmail instead of Gmail, but my launcher pro mail icon won't show the number of emails. It works fine for text messages, just not my hotmail. I am getting a notification on my top bar, I just want to be able to quickly see the number. I'm really new to Android so it's probably an easy fix that I am just overlooking.

What is your default email set as? Yahoo or yahoo!

I had a similar problem, where I kept getting dual notifications. I fixed it by uninstalling the beautiful widgets addon pack.

Hm interesting because I do have that addon installed? Now what exactly were your problems? Would you get the y! And the @ notification each time you got emails?
I'm GreyBlured!
Sorry it took so long for me to post. When I had the beautiful Widgets pack, I would get double notifications for everything, email and text. The fact that you have the y! means that its a yahoo email. So either it's the Widgets or you may have a yahoo email app that's also notifying you.

[Q] Notifications on lockscreen with a PIN

Hey guys,
I'm looking for an app or a tweak that can show me notifications on my lock screen.
I added my work email account and the server forces me to set PIN code, now I cannot really swipe down the notification window since it's being disabled. (This also disabled the widgets on lock screen)
So if I get a SPAM mail, I don't really want to enter the PIN code and see who's it from, I want it to show the mail headers and that's all.
Same for WhatsApp, SMS, missing calls, Push notifications and so on.
Seems like I need to 'unlock' the phone every time I hear some notification tone.
I'm pretty new to this forum/android, I hope I posted it in the right forum.
Thanks!
You will have to use the hacked email app which would then not force the PIN on your phone then you can do that. Otherwise there's no way to do that.
i have my phone set to only notify me for priority inbox in gmail. i'm sure you could do something similar.
Which hacked email?
Seems like it's not a good idea to bypass these rules...
So tell me, every time you want to check who sent you an email, you have to unlock the phone and open the emaill app?
This really sucks.
Any chance it's in the Android roadmap? better notifications?
What about customized ROMs, kernels, whatever?
Thanks!
As another user whose work email security policy enforces too much security, I'd also recommend the hacked email http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117452
I believe you need to be root and the hack needs to be run from a PC and patches your existing email program, runs on 4.2.1 fine. I use aokp and it's always worked.
You need to remove your work account temporarily before running it and then add it back, it also will need to be rerun everytime you flash a new ROM and set your email program back. But only takes seconds, just a matter of running a cmd file.
I now use face lock/pattern lock instead of pin so that it's still secure, but it means that i can use lock screen widgets.
