Unlock Screen Freeze - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone facing issue of getting freezed when entering pin unlock screen? I use my corporate exchange mail in my phone. It applies policy to enable pin lock. Sometimes, when I try entering the pin to unlock, the screen is freezed. I've to wait for a minute and then it accepts my pin to unlock. This happens sometimes only.

Remove pin attempts limit on Nexus 4 stock rom

Hello,
I am using 4.3 stock rom. One thing is very annoying is the so-call security. The phone will be reset to factory setting if you enter wrong pin over 6 times. This is very bad idea. My little son sometimes plays on my phone by just touch those numbers in lock screen, so the pin attempts are easily over 6 times which cause my phone resets. How to remove this stupid feature? I remember on some phone, you have to wait for a few minutes in order to re-enter the pin code.

I wouldn't call it a stupid feature. When I enter my pin wrong a few times I have to wait to access my phone.
It is ok to wait for a few time, the stupid feature I called is "RESET to factory default". Is there a way to remove the feature?

Security Unlock Issue

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!

Lock screen tells me my pin is incorrect (its not)

I dont see this specific question...
I have my lock screen set as a pin
On a daily basis, it says my pin in incorrect and does not let me get into my phone.
It is the correct pin and I make several attempts to do so, to the point where I am locked out for a certain period of time.
If I restart my phone, the same exact pin works.
Is there a reason this is happening or a way of preventing this from happening?
Wild shot... but have you tried with the phone on a flat surface just in case you are touching the edges as you enter it?
Also, why not use the fingerprint lock? So much easier and just as secure as numbers.

Bypassing Fingerprintsensor bug?

Hi everyone,
I notice that I can bypass my fingerprintsensor with tapping 3 times with the wrong finger on it and after the third time, the phone is unlocked.
I am on the last stock oxygenOS.
Does somebody else have this bug?
No.
No.
Yes I found that since the 1st day.
Now I tried twice with with a unregistered finger with the 3rd try another unregistered finger and it is unlocked!!!!
not all the time.

Doesn't happen to me. Have you got a pattern enabled?
After 3 failed finger print attempts the phone prompts for a pattern.
After testing, I was shocked to see that this worked on my phone...but after a little testing, it only unlocks on the third attempt when the phone has a smartlock device connected and doesn't require a PIN anyways.
If I turn Bluetooth off, the third wrong finger button press simply turns on the screen and asks for my PIN.

Smartlock was the key here!
I turned trusted places "home" off and on the 3rd try asked for the pin code.
So basically if I'm in trusted places or connected to a trusted device after 3 consecutive failed fingerprints it will open my phone without pin code

I think that's the point of smart Lock... ? So you don't have to unlock even with FP. Just swipe up and it should unlock...
That is interesting. Would only work around safety devices/places?

PIN Unlock screen

At reboot it ask for PIN which i don't remember
I tried some I used before but nothing, and after 3 times I have to wait hours
Is there a way to bypass that pin WITHOUT lose my personal data?
