I have Verizon G2 running Lollipop. I really don't like the "swipe to unlock" screen. My phone requires a PIN but I also set up a lock timer such that I don't need to enter PIN so often. But instead of resume to my last app, when I wake up the phone, I face the "Swipe to unlock" notification screen. How can I get rid of it?
I noticed from a T-Mobile's ROM. It has the exact behavior that I wanted. I either enter the PIN and get in or I wake up the phone before the lock timeout and bypasses the "swipe to unlock" screen.
Anyone know how it is done? Do you guys see 2 lock screens (one is your regular lock, e.g. PIN, pattern, etc), the other is "Swipe" when your screen went timeout but you have a longer PIN timeout.

I use the PIN lock security. When I turn off the option "Power button instantly locks", and when I power on and off my device within the "Security lock timer" interval, the swipe to unlock screen is presented.
"Power button instantly locks", when I disable that, I don't want ANY LOCK SCREEN until I'm past the "Security timer interval."
Can someone please help? I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants this. I'm on the latest Verizon stock, rooted, with a few mods.
Many kind thanks.
Hello,
my Galaxy S4 always locks the screen, even with Instant Power Lock disabled. Its so annoying to always enter my pin. I did a reset but this did not seem to help.
Please advice.
Go to Settings - My device - Lock screen - Screen lock - None (for disable the screen lock or select other options for configure it: Swipe, Face unlock, Pattern, Pin or Password)

Thats not what I want. I want a screen lock. But I want the screenlock after a certain amount of minutes or seconds. I dont want "pressing the power key" to lock the screen.
On my friends S4 it worked with version 4.2.2 but I have 4.4.2 installed. Its either my phone (hardware) or a bug.

I recently bought a Neptune Pine. Can anyone advise on how to remove the PIN lock that appears everytime it switches on or is 'woken up?
I know the PIN (I set it when exploring the settings) but it is a pain to have to type it in every time. But when I go to settings there is just the line that says 'Security' then below it 'PIN'. It first asks to confirm PIN (which I do) and then seems to go back to the same screen. I had been expecting a 'turn off PIN lock' option something, but no luck. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Does you mean the PIN on lock screen or PIN for device encryption?
For PIN on lock screen, just go to Security > Screen lock and change to anything other than PIN. (Swipe or none) You have to input your existing PIN in order to change this setting.
Thanks but the problem is that after I put in the PIN from within settings, it goes to a menu where the only options open are PIN and PASSWORD. 'None' 'Slide' and 'pattern are all disabled....
Hello, looking for some help with resetting my phone's lock screen pattern unlock. I use fingerprint unlock as my primary unlock method and lock screen pattern unlock as my secondary. Recently, I've gotten into the habit of unlocking my phone via pattern instead of fingerprint. However as I tried to unlock my phone via pattern unlock yesterday, it didn't accept it and my phone locked me out for periods of time. I can still unlock my phone via fingerprint and if I'm in a trusted location (Home). I have no idea why my pattern is no longer being accepted.
As I'm still able to unlock my phone via fingerprint/trusted location, I went to settings to reset my lock screen pattern, but it requires the lock screen pattern to reset/change to a new lock screen pattern. Because my lock screen pattern is not being accepted I can't change/reset my lock screen pattern.
Is there anyway I can get around lock screen pattern to change to a new lock screen pattern?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Thanks guys, I was actually able to unlock and reset the pattern with 'Find My Mobile' Samsung service.
Hi onechionly,
How were you able to reset the pattern?
My wife ran into the same thing with her Samsung Galaxy Edge S7. She had a pattern and fingerprint set up. One day, her pattern no longer worked but the fingerprint worked fine. She can unlock with the fingerprint but if she had to change lock options (new pattern or a PIN), the phone asks for her pattern lock and she can't get further.
We logged into her Find My Mobile, but I couldn't find an option to "reset" the pattern. The closest thing I found was to lock her phone using a PIN and she can go in, but that's not the issue. The phone requires a pattern to access further security options in Settings.
If you provide more details, I would greatly appreciate it.
So I just tried to set up a screen lock on my PH-1 (Latest 8.1 Oreo build .166) that previously had no screen lock. In 'Security & location', I selected 'Fingerprint', which requires you to set up a screen lock of some kind as a backup. I selected 'PIN', and entered my normal six-digit PIN twice for confirmation, as normal. When prompted to enter my PIN prior to recording my fingerprint, I get "Wrong PIN" even though I'm positive it's correct.
When I go back to 'Security & location' in settings, it shows 'Screen Lock' as 'None" and when I reboot, there is no prompt for PIN so the phone is not locked. However, I cannot edit my screen lock type or add a fingerprint because it will not accept any PIN.
Do I have any other option but factory reset?
