keyboard slide unlocks device - Milestone 2 General

Hey there!
I ve got a weird problem since I got CM7 on my milestone. Whenever I slide out my keyboard a bit mobile is unlocking itself, same thing happens with MIUI. It's troublesome because I send a lot of unwanted texts and emails to random contacts and numbers, making pocket calls as well :/ Did anyone encountered this problem and is there any solution?
Thanks!

I think the only solution is to set security code or sequence lock (standard android security settings)

nope, changed lockscreen for security lock and gestures and still when I slide the keyboard milestone unlocks itself :| any ideas?

You have to use standard android security (under settings --> position and security), sequence or pin code, it works for me

Turn the battery side of the phone to your leg, so the touchscreen won't have anything to touch. =)

Double Tap To Unlock - In Dialer

Hi,
I have a Xperia X10A with Rogers, It's my first Android Device. I Love It. My only complaint I have is when calling my Bank, Voice Mail Etc, where I have to dial in extra codes there is always this "Double Tap to Unlock" which is quite annoying, is there a way you can set the time instead of 5 Sec's to a longer time? Or to prevent it all together.
Thanks!
Kris
hey. i testet that, and i need to touche it only once. havent found a way to set the time, x10 have sensor tht are supost to lock and unlock the screen when you take it away from ears like my x10 is doing.

[Q] Android 4.2.2 Changes?

Has anyone else noticed that you can no longer adjust the Ringer Volume from the Lock Screen when pressing the Volume Up or Volume Down buttons?
Have not seen this noted (mentioned) in any of the Android 4.2.2 articles or videos..
Wondering if its a Android 4.2.2 change, or if its just my phone.. (started after update. could adjust prior to 4.2.2)
Also noticed the Popup (Volume Adjustment Overlay) no longer appears when pressing Volume Up or Down on the Lock Screen when music is playing..
(could probably use this thread to discuss any other changes made in Android 4.2.2 - although there are few changes)
I noticed that too. Petty annoying, if you ask me. They still having managed to have camera quick access from lock screen with pin. And why do I have press enter every time after inputting my pin? On IPhone and windows phone you don't need to and they have study access to the camera.

I noticed that they changed the tone when going down to 14% on your battery.... Not a biggie but still something.
When downloading apps from the play store it shows an ETA now, don't think that was there before. Also notification bar animation seems slower.

As far back as I can remember having android you've always been able to adjust the Ringer Volume from the LockScreen...
I like having that ability so I could put the phone on Vibrate/Silent, while its still in my pocket as I walk into a meeting (or other event)
Now I must pull the phone out, so I can unlock it just to change the Ringer..
And Also liked the ability to change Ringer Volume via lockscreen when I was at the gym, forget to turn off ringer, then must place sweaty hand on the phone to unlock.
I used lockscreen volume all the time. I don't know why they'd remove a feature like that!
I even trawled through various settings to see if I could enable it somewhere. No luck.
If you hold down power until it shows the power options, it will let you use the volume rocker.

To access the camera from the lock screen just swipe to the right - simple

Don't know what your point is. Just tried this and it works fine for me.
Make sure you swipe from edge of screen.

I think he's talking about when he swipes over on the lock screen to access the camera he is being asked to enter his security pin, instead of just opening the camera... or maybe its not asking him for pin, and thats what he wants.. Hard to understand what he's saying.
I just wish I could remove the camera widget from the lockscreen. I've taken maybe 2 pictures from the phone, and those were to test quality.

I enabled pin to see for myself....it doesn't prompt to enable security pin.
Yip the camera should be able to be removed - since we're talking about removing stiff, so should the icons in the status bar.
You can add a widget between the lock screen and camera though. Add a widget and press and home - allows you to move widget screens around to your liking.
Well I think the this is a restriction introduced by the device administration of my company and actually not Google's fault. But HTC sense was able to quick access the camera.

[Q] Samsung Keyboard - Language change - icon or spacebar ?

I have a Note 3 and suddenly out of nothing the keyboard changed template and instead changing languages by long pressing+sliding the space bar it now shows a globe icon wich must be pressed to select the language.
I have already messed with all possible settings in order to go back to the space bar method wich is much faster with no success.
I know it worked on the space bar way until a few days ago, and I see there was a Samsung Keyboard Update wich was installed.
Have someone here the same issue ? Anyone knows if it is possible to go back to the previous behavior ?
Thanks for any help on this.
Me too having same problem
I actually got the swipe for different language. but all of a sudden the globe appeared. i seriously dont know what i did. tried resetting keyboard settings. nothing works. thebutton takes spaceand irritating while typing.
Same here, it working fine. but suddenly have globe icon and everything mess up... then few days lster, keyboard suddenly back to normal and everything is fine again. This happened couple times and each time it last few days. Anyone know why and how to solve this permanently? Thanks for your help. ..

OK so I noticed that when I turn off the accessibility of my Pebble app (I have a Pebble watch) under settings, I can swipe the spacebar to change the input language but right when I turn on the accessibility of my Pebble app, I can no longer swipe the spacebar.

OK! But...
I have 7 apps in accessibility list... And I DO want to use at least 4 of them...
Wristn - forwarding notifications to Sony SmartWatch
LastPass - filling passwords inside apps
NiLS Service - collect notifications in lock screen similar to iPhone
Desktop Notifications - forward notifications to browser plugins for Chrome and Firefox for displaying it at desktop
if I enable any of them, spacebar disables language switch function
I solved the issue by deactivating the Speed+ engine under Accessibility

[HOWTO] Disable double tap to wake/unlock LG G3

Hello folks! For those who want to disable the option "double tap to wake/unlock" on LG g3 for any reason, in my situation the phone ever got the screen on when I accidentally tap the screen, that was draining my battery, now I found an app that can disable this option. It's called "Any Cut" you can find it in play store for free, create a shortcut for the "Knock On" apk and there you can disable this option. (But it still working if you use knock code to unlock).
Why not use a knock code. 4 knocks to unlock, my phone never comes on by itself not once.

I love knock code but in my case is kind of annoying. Ever a accidentally touch the screen, it comes on. Also using knock code when I take it out of my pocket it's asking me for recovery password.This is for those who want to disable this. Like me.

normally i use knock code unlock but i tried also your method. the problem is when i use the quickcircle case. if the case is opened, the double tap feature is disabled for both turning on and turning off the phone. if the flip is closed, i can still turn on the phone with double tap.
i am desperate to solve this. my battery is killing me due to this

Well, I think the problem is with the quick circle case, it works with a magnetic point that auto-activate the double tap to unlock. It's the same case as if you use knock code, double tap activate itself and for now I haven't found a solution if you are using the circle case. But even you don't double tap the circle the screen turns on?

It depends in which LG g3 variant are you using. For example; I'm using LG g3 from sprint and my hidden menu isn't very helpful at all. Only show few options...

Try the app gravity screen. I used it on my s4 when I was having the same issue you are. It helped big-time.
you're an angel!!!
My bf was going nuts over this and I cant seem to find a solution until now. He's so annoyed that he was willing to downgrade to any phone the very next day after getting it. Lol. I've tried the hidden menu but only showed me 3 (Verizon). Thanks!!
I on the other hand will keep the knock on enabled on my M8. ??

[Q] Just got the Yotaphone2, and two small annoying problems

Hi all,
intrigued by the phone and due to the fact that I'm an avid reader, I decided to go for it.
I'm still getting used to it but I've got two small annoying problems that I can't figure out if it's a device fault or else:
1) when two-finger typing, if I press two letters fast enough, it records it as a swipe gesture. Not a major thing, I can type slower than that, but it would be interesting to know if this is an issue specific with Lollipop or else.
2) I've enabled the pattern lock, but I can still unlock the phone without any pattern when sliding bottom-up the main screen. This is a bit more annoying, as when keeping the phone in the pocket it happens I get it unlocked by mistake and I thought the pattern lock would solve this.
Is this normal?
1. If that keyboard-swipe thing happens on the color screen, make sure you have disabled "Gesture typing" from the Google Keyboard settings (Settings - Language & input). Alternatively you can also try out some different keyboard app. If it happens on the EPD, then I guess you're out of luck.
2. Some other user reported that same issue with the slide-unlock, but I tried it just now and for me it asks for the pattern no matter how the screen is turned on.

hey and thanks for the reply.
1) I do use the gesture typing/swype keyboard as well as normal typing. My previous Nexus 4 had no problems no matter the speed I'm typing at. It's just on the main screen the EPD works fine and I'm kinda getting used to its laggines.
2) this is totally odd.. are you on Lollipop as well?
1. You could test some other keyboard app which supports Swipe. Although that does sound a bit that the system can't keep up with your typing and is flooded with touch events.
2. Yes, I'm on Lollipop. For me the slide-up just turns on the screen, and I need to swipe up again for the pattern entry screen to show up. It must be some specific combination of settings.
There are features called "smart lock" in the security settings that can bypass the pattern lock under certain conditions, maybe your set up is glitching and it may be worth poking around in there to see if something is set up.

Hi manmikey. I've checked and all the Smart Lock features are turned off, I've tried to play around a bit but can't really see anything out of place.
I currently have:
- screen lock: pattern
- lock second screen: on
- make pattern visible: off
- automatically lock: 5 secs unless kept unlocked by Smart Lock
- Power btn instantly locks: on
- Smart Lock: all off, but a very specific Sony speaker system
anything else that could impact this?
Might be just an Android bug?

I'm at a loss then, could it be a rouge "trusted face"? Maybe a blank face is in there! when the camera is looking for a face to unlock there is a symbol at the bottom centre of the screen that looks like a person in a circle, when defected the symbol changes to an open padlock, are you seeing anything like this when you swipe up to unlock?
Sent from my YD201 using XDA Free mobile app
there's no symbol: I can unlock the device (with the pattern lock active) just by swiping the main screen from the bottom center, up.
Just like that, and there's no screen in between the "turned off" state and the "android desktop".
I've checked and there are no registered friendly-faces in the smart lock, on top of it being off.

Hi. First of all, sorry for my bad English. I bought the Y2 few days ago and I had the swype problem. I tried one thing and, maybe, it is a possible solution. Tell me if it works.
(I don´t know how are the exactly menu names)
Settings-Language & input-google keyboard (6th option)-advanced Options-delay to hold: change the number to a higer one.
It works??
I have another problem. Could you help me?
When I use the keyboard, in the bottom right there is a keyboard icon (It serves to switch the keyboard). When I swipe, I always press the icon with my thumb accidentally and I can´t write.
Is there any way to remove the icon from there?
Thanks!
