screen lock

I have recently had a Touch 3G and want to know if there is an auto screen lock.
I don't want to have to put a pin code in every time but just want it where it prevents me calling people whenthe phone is in my pocket.
When I first set up the phone this function was on there but as I have had to hard reset a number of times (due to software compatibility issues) it seems to have vanished.
Can anyone enlighten me?

I am not sure about auto lock.. but you can try this method.

I do not know an auto-lock of screen but you can lock it by pressing the red button for 2 seconds if you set "\Start\Adjustments\Buttons\End long press" to "lock" (all translated from german, perhaps other terms in english).

dunno if it's same thing but on my jade after a min of inactivity screen turn off and touch is disabled i control this also with power off button

This is called "energy off". In this status you only can activate the handset by the ON/OFF-button. It can be adjusted by "Start/Settings/Energyadministration/Extended" (all translated from German).
The Lock I described above means that you have to touch two special places of the display to unlock display and buttons. This does not depend of "energy off". It your handset is "energy off" and "locked" you first have to power it on by ON/OFF-Button and then unlock buttons/touch.
Both functions are overlapping a bit: If you power the handset off by ON/OFF-button of course the touch/buttons do not react. If you lock it as described above the touch/buttons are deactivated but you can see the display until it vanishes according to the energy-settings.

I use s2u2 for this and find it quite good

Screen off and Screen lock times?

On the EVO 4G there are different screen lock settings. I just thought that this was because they were one 2.2, but this is not the case. One can press the lock button and the screen goes off. If the lock button is pressed again in a predefined amount of time; you don't have to put in the unlock pattern. Are we able to mod our Vibrant's to operate like this. I searched the forums with no luck. Ideally I would like to have the same menu settings in the OS and not App work-arounds (i.e. proxy sensor locks).

Slide to Unlock plus Pin security

I just bought the Droid Turbo and I encrypted my phone with a PIN. Now when my phone is in between the screen off and the 5 minute lock time for the pin access, if you press the power button it automatically goes to the home screen. On my 5 other Android phones in between the screen off and the PIN lock out time if you press the power button you still have to slide to unlock. Is there any way to get this back? Or a 3rd party app that will let me do this without disabling the security PIN? I have tried several KitKat and Lollipop lock screen apps but they all remove the pin lock security. I do have the Tasker app but i am unsure how to set this option up. Thanks for any help. If I need to explain the issue better let me know.

I don't think it is available that way with Moto Display. On my Moto X 2013 it doesn't do that either. Because there is a slide unlock on the Moto/Active Display when there are notifications or when the device moves, you slide there to either get the notification or go to the home screen.

I like that feature however, if I press the power button it goes straight to the home screen without sliding to unlock. I dont like that. I want to have to slide to unlock even if I press the power button.

You would probably need a 3rd party lock screen to do that, but I think you'd then always swipe to PIN, after that 5 minutes passed. You can only select one lock screen type on Moto X, so it is either slide OR PIN/Password, but you can't have both. I know what you're referring to, I had it on my Droid X and Droid Razr Maxx, but the only way to turn those on was with the power button. Because the newer Moto phones have Active/Moto Display, I think it works as the slide unlock.
I can say that over time you will use the power button less and less, because you will get used to the Active Display. It's a hard habit to shake, but you'll actually find yourself turning your phone on less to check notifications. On my Moto X I pick it up and see there is a notification (or see it "breathing" an unread notification) and if I press and hold on the circled notification I can see the details. So I can see what the text is, who the email is from, what the tweet is, etc and if I don't care to unlock and view I can swipe left/right to clear it without every actually turning the screen on or unlocking the phone.
If you control the apps that are able to show on Active Display and only places ones you really care about, you'll turn your phone on even less and only for the things you feel are important.

I use Tasker and Secure Settings to set/remove my PIN based on my home WIFI connection (it turns PIN off when I'm at home).
Setup your profile with Tasker first, then create an action and select Plugins (or 3rd party, I forget), and select Secure Settings. You'll have a big list of options, Keyguard is under Actions and Password/PIN is under Dev Admin actions. You'll need to enable Secure Settings as a device administrator in your phone settings.
You will probably need to have a profile that sets keyguard when the screen shuts off and waits 5 minutes, then disables keyguard and turns on PIN/Password lock. Then another profile that resets the status to recycle it once you unlock the phone.

Can you post the step by step instructions. I have never used Tasker before and I am completely lost.

There's an option to Lock Immediately on Power or something. In security settings. Or just reduce your time out.

Fingerprint Scanner uses

Really liking the fingerprint scanner and it's position on the Mi A1 - much better than the one under the power button on my former Sony phone
That said, i'm wondering if there is a way to make it lock the phone as well as unlock - I like being able to use it as the swipe for notifications, but would be great to Unlock -> swipe (see notifications) -> hold for locking...
Thoughts!?

Did u even Google and try before asking? This was my first hit. https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...anner-do-almost-anything-with-tasker-0175015/

Thanks. So what happens when my banking app wants my fingerprint and I have that set up?

Should work, just don't press it to long. You should be able to set a custom delay before screen off.

So I can't make this work. Tasker seems to have two options System Lock or Lock. Lock is some kind of manual lock screen, so seems System Lock would be what I want.
However, System Lock seems to be a core level lock that then doesnt allow me to unlock with fingerprint, but needs the pattern...
Is there some other option I'm looking for here?

Screen off? Device should autolock itself seconds later.

Doesnt seem to be a screen off option, only change the display timout (min 7 seconds, so that wont work)

How to bypass lock screen when trusted with smart lock?

Is there a way to bypass the lock screen when using smart lock when trusted? What I want to do is double top on the AOD screen which then takes me directly to the home screen and NOT the lock screen where I have to swipe in again. Any ideas?

I have also been looking for a solution to this. While I have not been able to completely bypass the lock screen here is a workaround which minimizes when the lock screen appears.
Settings --> Lock screen --> Secure lock settings --> Lock automatically I increased the time from 5 seconds to 30 Minutes (which is the maximum value)
When away from my trusted places I use the power button which locks my phone immediately based on the 'Lock instantly with power key' setting
Hope this helps

I used Gravity Screen for this purpose a few years ago. I don't know if it works with this phone but you can try it out.
I also is able to turn on your screen as soon as you pick it up. And bypass your lockscreen ofc.
