Can anyone tell me if it is possible to lock the stock epic web browser so that it cannot be accessed opened without a password?
I need to lock my internet browser from unauthorized use and can't seem to figure out how to do it.
Thanks in advance if you can tell me how or know of an app that does this.

Hope that helps
I have been using an app called Seal lets you lock only the apps you want. can use pin or pattern lock.
Thanks for the replies! I checked out some apps and found App Lock Free to work well.... so far.

Randomly when I hit the home buttn I am prompted with the option touchwiz or home. I can pick either on while checking the load default and it still asks again a few min later. What am I missing?

That's a first, never had that happen.
Have you recently installed any User interface programs like ADW launcher or launcher pro?
How about any programs in general.. please be a little more specific.
Welcome to the forums!
It only happens to me when I hold the home botton and bring up the task manager. When I hit the home botton again it prompt me to choose the launcher.

Try getting home switcher from the market and tell it to set touchwiz home as you default. See if that works.
I Will try and load my appbrain list but no to launchers. Just goole stuff and a couple widgets.

I can't post links yet so check out appbrain user: ErlyD I have no launcher apps and I did try that home launcher app recommended. But still have the problem.

Sgs tools and you go to the bottom menu and choose which launcher you want and bam! Launcher is set to default. I'm using 2.2 quantum and confirm it works.

Does my epic have to be rooted? I ran the app and set it yet still get the problem. It randomly asks when I hit home. Each time I set default then select touchwiz.

Will factory reset help with this problem? What other way can I reset clean?

Download sgs tools from market. Install. Go to bottom menu upgrade stock apps, then choose laucner you want and follow instructions from there, easy fix.

Edit: this only works on rooted phones, I'm sorry if I miss read the problem.
Bottom option is:
.prop editor

I've looked over SGS Tools, over and over again. I do not understand where the option to make this fix is.
Could you give more specific instructions? Thanks!

Same here only .prop editor do we have to be rooted? To use this correctly?

I think I got a fix. I went to manage apps and cleared defaults on touchwiz but also cleared tw data. It sucked cause my icons and everything else I took the time to setup cleared but after rebuilding it seems to be working. Been about an hour now and the menu hasn't popped up.

Sorry guys I must have been way too blazed I swear I read that you guys had the froyo beta and had this problem, as I did have this issue. But it seems some of you are dealing with this on stock, without root and this will only work if you have root.

I believe that this issue is related to the installation of a certain application. As a matter of fact, I uninstalled several applications after going on a few downloading sprees (yeah, I get bored and have money burning a hole in my PayPal account) in hopes of fixing the issue, to no avail.
Otherwise, could it possibly be related to a glitch caused by setting a certain number of icons or widgets on the homescreen, causing the launcher's data to interfere with its default settings?
Either way, I took ErlyD's advice, cleared the data, and will rebuild my homescreens in hopes it won't happen again. Or else I will figure out what causes it.

I would love to follow his advice, but TouchWiz isn't listed in my manage applications list...what the heck!
Actually, none of the stuff that came installed is listed....nascar, amazon, etc.
Where do I find these?

Okay...found it via running programs.
Cleared data.
Didn't solve my problem.
Crap.

It failed. Sorry for the trouble it lasted longer than before though. I went a few hrs before it popped up. I am going to have to start uninstalling apps to see what happens.

There is a bug/feature that Samsung built into their phone (perhaps all THEIR Android phones) and this may explain your issue, in any case it explained at least 2 cases I know of:
http : //dennis2centsworth.blogspot.com/2011/02/auto-rotate-not-working-on-samsung.html
Basically do not lock orientation with anything other than the Samsung's "orientation Lock"...
Hi. I use this app quite frequently and after updating last night it seems to have stoped working. When I start it the screen just goes white. Is it possible that the art update caused this?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
That "App" is just a link to the mobile site https://m.pnc.com try going there from your browser.

Using reason and logic. Then Yes!
Thx for the reply. I seen the mobile site is identical. I just liked than when using the app and trying to close it it would actually ask if u want to do that and then it would close completly. The stupid phone browser allways stays on in the background.

Gotcha, I use Dolphin HD, so when I hold down the "back" button on the phone it asks me if i want to exit and gives options to clear cache and recent history. 2c
It appears all the banking apps have the same problem after the update. The Bank of America app does exactly the same thing. Maybe it's a security thing.
Is there any way to disable the slide to unlock feature and just have the pattern unlock ?
Also in this boat, searching leads to several threads like this
Yes you need to uncheck the auto launch of the play app.
I don't recall where I seen it.
I'll post when I find it.
Open the play app, push the menu button and select settings.
Then uncheck auto start.
Forget what I said.
I thout you meant when you slid the screen and not the slide bar on the screen.
There is no way that I have found.

That's where we go to set the pattern unlock, what we want to know is how to remove the slide to unlock that comes up before the pattern unlock
This needs a bump, so here it is. I'm in this boat all of a sudden because my employer enforces an entry code for devices for a corporate account. I'm getting really unhappy having to slide, enter pin every time !
Try the app "antilock"
Its free on the market and does exactly what you want, I believe. I use it myself so I don't need to slide twice as I use widgetlocker
Hope this helps!
works like a charm!
Uninstalling, sometime after turning the app on my phone started to act "funny" or erratic... After uninstall everything seems to be normal again.

Mine too, It started flickering like mad and asked me for the code over and over.
I am using NFC Task Launcher so the NFC tag in my car disables the Lock screen (at least I'm trying to)
It doesn't seem to unlock the phone at all. I'm running the Stock ROM, but am rooted.

It's using the Keyguard API to temporarily hide the lock screen. The lock is released if the app is killed by the system or manually. Any chance this is occurring or you're running anything else memory intensive that may be pushing it out of memory?

I think I found the solution. I think I was sometimes closing the app in the pull down.
Same problem here. I'd be interested to learn your "fix". Thx!

The dismissal of the lock screen is going to be released if the app is killed either by the system or by the user for resources. There's nothing that can be changed right now since it's using the Keyguard API. I'm looking in to alternative solutions to get rid of this but Android isn't especially interested in letting apps get rid of lock screens without a bit of a fight.

I'm exactly with the same problem. I think the best workaround is using llama, that can disable/enable the pin lock in the lockscreen, but not the patter, and it doesn't disable the lockscreen, it switches the security to "slide"
Does anyone know if this can be reached with Tasker? I don't have it and won't buy it just to try it out
