It says as long as you're using it or have it on your pocket it won't lock and then ask for pattern or unlock code or touch id.
It will just have the slide to unlock screen.
But if you set it on a table it will lo k and when you'll pick it up it will ask your unlocking method.
This is a plus to all already added smart lock features that were added on BOB4 update.

This is one good feature. Another reason to wait for lollipop
Thanks for the detailed explanation
Don't see this feature in recent boc3 release nor was it in Bob 4. Or perhaps I'm missing something.

Hello there, if you are a total noob just like me, or you are simply looking for this and just flashed the recently leaked Samsung 4.1.2 XXLSJ Firmware and got stuck with that SIM UNLOCK code, the solution is just at hand and it is totally safe and free.
All you need is a WiFi connection and have a visit over the Play Store
Look for "Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock", which is a free app and download it
The job gets done just by taping over "SIM unlock code", it may take a few moments and you are done with the number.
Copy the number elsewhere and reboot your phone, once your asked about the number just type it and you are ready to go.
Remember you can only use this code once (per phone cycle) so if you miss typed it you are going to need to reboot again.
Enjoy your phone and allow me to give you an extra tip: NEVER FORMAT your Sd Card with this new firmware as some have reported that it resulted on BRICKING your lovely SGS2.

Oh, that's just his assumption, not a fact. There is not a single report yet about brickbug on 4.1.2.

Yes! You are right, but I just don't want to try it myself. :good:
"Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock" didn't work for me. I used a "GalaxSim Unlock", but this isn't a permanent unlock.
Does anyone knows how to permanently unlock my phone for free?
One could also restore their efs from a backup.
The efs method worked for me while the sim unlock app method didn't.

I've tested all Free Sim Unlockers from Play store and all failed except this One.. It's NOT Free tho... (£1.60 for unlimited unlocking - good deal)
How you know is Not Permanent?? Looks solid to me

I've for a AT&T S4 I337 with the MF3 update. I have already managed to root it. Is there any way to unlock the sim?? I have searched. Tried to get to the service menu and it does't let me do anything. Can I flash another rom or do something so I can unlock it.

Seeing how you are on the MF3 currently there is no way to flash another rom or custom recovery, your best bet would be go through att to get the unlock code.
But it won't even let me get into the service menu. I tried the codes and process they say online and it does nothing. Can someone explain why it won't budge and how and when it will be fixed?

The service menu unlock was disabled in MF3. You have to get an unlock code from your carrier or another service.

Theres not even a place to enter an unlock code. I cut my Straight talk sim with the proper tool and inserted it and it didn't even recognize it. Still says "no sim inserted." Going to try to buy a ATT straight talk sim from the Straight talk website next.

I ported my # over from AT&T today to Straight Talk. At first it didn't like the new sim card, but after my # was ported and a few reboots the message didn't come up anymore. I now have phone & data service running on it, even though I was still under contract for a previous device (S3). I called AT&T and after a lengthy call, they said I didn't need an unlock code if I was getting service OK from Straight Talk. My old APN info is still there for them along with the one I created for 'ST'. I have no way of deleting the old APN, and who knows where, or if I'll get updates from. My only other option was to get the Google Edition S4, but I payed full price for the one I got now. Hopefully the bootloader issue will get cracked before long and I can get this ATT crap off my phone for good.
Network lock
I want to share something, could get passed the first screens all the way down to the network lock menu, no sha off options.
Haven't seen any posts regarding this.

Hey,
I did watch that video, but I am not sure how to get to that "Samsung Service Mode" Screen . Can you tell the steps please.
Thanks.
Ok, isnt that region lock thread just for Galaxy Note 3s? and on MF3, doesnt seem like the service menu will come up at all, so kinda curious too how people are making that work.

Hey did you guys talking about region unlock or carrier unlock?
Can you please share steps you followed, it will be a great help.
Thanks.
It's been mentioned that region unlock has had a positive affect on the Sim unlock.
However Sim unlock and region unlock are totally different from one another.I used the free unlock method when I was MDL and only used the region unlock with MF3 .will I ever really know if the region unlock worked?probably never.
I am still Sim unlocked

root ur phone and download the region unlock app on google play and done :fingers-crossed:
Again, the region lock claims for note 3... so if people say it works on S4.. why isnt it listed on the app? Would love some confirmation.

Hi, I have a problem, have brought me a Galaxy S4 GT-i9500 with ROM I9500UBUEMK1 to unlock the sim, I with mine use GalaxySIM Unlock but then had Android 4.2, well I wanted to use the same app but it does not work with Android 4.3, and look and can not find a way to do it without paying, probe what the service menu which is no longer active in 4.3, I wanted to downgrade but I see that does not work.
Well the point is that if someone knows how to unlock the sim on JB 4.3 for free.
I urge that the person comes out today in the afternoon trip and wanted to use lberar with another sim

I recently had my S5 unlocked and I want to reflash it with a different stock rom.
I was told as long as I didn't mess with the GCF configuration it would not relock.
My question is will reflashing it lock the phone again?

I just wondered if its possible to lock the OnePlus 5 bootloader with a custom ROM installed?
I only ask as I know it was possible with the OnePlus 2 previously.

My guess is to bypass the annoying screen before booting. Don't question why they wish to do it just help them do it....
The only way I know how to lock the bootloader is to simply go into the Developers option and disable OEM unlocking. I never done it myself so not sure if this will wipe your phone or not. Just back everything up just in case.
