Hello all,
I need some advice on a locking program. Here is my problem.... I generally use the power button to "lock" my phone before I put it in my pocket. Usually that works fine until I get a reminder alert or something else that causes the phone to wake up in my pocket. At that point the touch screen becomes active and all sorts of odd things start to happen as the phone bounces around in my pocket.
I really only want to lock the touch screen, not the handware buttons so I can respond to whatever caused the phone to lock up in the first place, i.e. reminder, incoming call, etc.
I also need it to be easy to unlock the touch screen using one hand and without entering a security code.
Thanks,
Jay
I use Lockdown: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1795969
it's small and simple.
Lockdown
Looks almost like what I need except it also locks the hardware buttons. I only want to lock the touch screen.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
the closest thing I can think of for you is....
step 1.
menu » settings » personal » buttons » lock » do not lock buttons.
this will only lock the screen and not the hardware buttons (with the exception of the d-pad.)
step 2 is to set up the enable the device lock which is different than the security lock due to the fact it DOES NOT require a password to unlock the phone.
menu » settings » today » items » and check the box for "device lock".
--------------------
I tested it and it only takes 1 screen tap to lock the phone and two to unlock it.
any email or text will not unlock the phone.
if you receive a call the screen will remain locked however, you can answer the call without unlocking the screen by pressing hardware button with the green phone icon on it.
-----------
that's the best I can come up with. I hope this helps.
I bid you peace....

I've been using DeviceLock forever and it has always worked for me.
My screen lock dissapeared..my phone just goes dims and blacksout. But the screen lock is gone, how do i get it back?
thanks.
If you're on a ROM that is pre 1.6, go to start and lock. It will be back after that. If you're on a 1.6+ ROM, ignore that advice.
Incidentally, if that does help, if you ever notice that clicking email on the email tab does not open them, do the same to make that work again too. For some strange reason, they're both side effects of the same issue.
Ok... So, is there anyway to force rotation-lock to turn off on a Nexus 7 with Android 4.2.2?
Reason: I cracked my screen from the bottom left of the screen to just shy of the top right corner. The lower section, below the crack, is not responsive to touch... and the dots I need (I use the pattern pass) are on this side because I can't flip the tablet.
How This Happened: I turned on rotation lock with the tablet upside down to keep it there... But then my Nexus 7 decided to restart randomly and keep rotation-lock on but coming back in the default orientation, aka the wrong way that I need it to be.
So, can anyone help?

40 people, no help...
Well, if anyone knows how to:
a.) bypass a pattern lock
b.) backup a Nexus 7 without a pass
c.) Just plan force the rotation-lock off
You should be able to reset lock pattern, as if you forgot it, supposed you know your google account password.
Then you can draw a new pattern not using the bottom dots.
What mttca said.
Probably the easiest way. Just put in the incorrect password enough and I think a "forgot password?" dialogue or something like that pops up and it asks you to manually sign into your Google account you have associated with the Nexus 7. It should then have you reset your password or something like that.
several weeks ago a new lock screen appeared - out of nowhere - and now won't go away. I've tried to manually go into setting and change it - no luck. When I restart my s5, my original screen (which is still selected in settings) comes up, but is then taken over by this lock screen that won't go away. I'm running Themer - thought it was associated with that, but I've since cleared cache/data/deleted it, with no luck. This thing doesn't keep time, give any notifications, or swipe responsively. A real PIA. It also affects the notification bar - won't give me my notifications. Same with the lock screen - occasionally I will swipe my screen and see the original notification bar, but mostly this new one. Any thoughts? I'm really not keen on wiping the whole thing are starting from scratch.
A screenshot would be helpful, it sounds like part of another app you have installed.
I've been playing with my phone before I finally move everything over, and so far I love it. My main complaint is the lock screen - I want to be able to do more.
Whenever I try to pull open a notification on the lock screen, such as the weather, it asks me to sign in - my Note 5 didn't do this. I also want to be able to use Open Camera from the lock screen, however whenever I click the shortcut it asks me to unlock it first. Is there a way to change this?
