I can always reproduce this problem. If you configure the "Screen unlock settings" to use a pin to unlock your screen then load up the default browser (in portrait mode). Then if you rotate the tab to landscape mode (while the browser window is up) it will bring up the window to ask you for your pin to unlock the screen. Even if you type in the correct pin it will just flash the browser window for a split second and you're back to the window that ask for your pin to unlock again. Basically you can't unlock your screen. I had to reboot the thing to get back into the tab again. So the problem is,
1) it shouldn't put up that unlock screen when you rotate the tab
2) typing in the correct pin still can't unlock the screen.
A bit more information, my tab was flashed to the euro rom using the instruction in this forum. The browser is just the default browser that came with the tab.
I was wondering if anyone experienced the same thing. Thanks.
I am sure this has been dealt with, but I have tried so many searches and found nothing that could help me.
I cannot find any setting anywhere to keep the screen locked even when the keyboard slides out, and sometime sin my pocket the keyboard slides slightly but enough to turn the screen on and unlock the device.
What can I do? do I have to replace the basic lock app?
please point me in the direction of existing threads if you know of any or solutions.
cheers

Yes I would like to know that
I solve it by also using pattern type screen lock (in security settings with immediate lock on after) thus even after sliding, the HTC default lock will be unlocked, but the pattern will be required to completely unlock the phone...
If I'm not mistaken, HTC designed the Desire Z and the G2 to unlock when the keyboard is opened. Naturally, on paper, this would make sense given that you could just slide the keyboard to go right to typing. However, as stated before, if you put the pattern lock, then it shouldn't be able to unlock even when you slide.
if you have a pattern or PIN lock it won't unlock when opened.
Now. There is a nice elegant solution that I didn't think of.
And there I was trying to be simple and all I needed waas added security, thanks guys.
Setting it up now

i find this more convenient this way as i can just slightly tilt the keyboard-screen flip to unlock the phone right away.
Replace your springs in the hinge so it will close tightly and not open in your pocket

Also, using pattern prevent accidental unlocks when the screen slides along some material that it respond to. I don't use the pattern for security but as additional screen lock because the default lock is just poor
So I set up a Pattern Lock. I really like it.
only issue is having to still do the slide down lock AND then the pattern lock.
I cannot find the setting to turn off the slide lock.
what have I missed?
If you rooted your phone and installed a ROM like Cyanogenmod ... you'd have the option to unlock by using the trackpad instead hitting the power button and then slide down to unlock.
Hey
I'm on a Sweet Rom N910C v10 lollipop 5.0.1. When I chose fingerprint lock to unlock device it's still works like swipe unlock and do not ask for fingerprint... The other things like pin, pattern has no problem but if I chose fingerprint lock the device doesn't need a finger to unlock...
FYI, fingerprint to open an app like fingersecurity works like a charm... My only problem is unlock screen...
Which file could be the problem? Thanks
Hello,
Recently i've gotten my S7E. The first thing I did is try to recreate everything I had on my S6. Everything works fine for but one feature.
I use a third party launcher ( Action Launcher ) and always used the 'triple click' to turn of the screen. It requiers Device administration rights to turn the screen off. It works on both my S6 and my new S7E.
Here is the deal. On my S6 I use the fingerprint lock, for obvious reasons, and the fact that my launcher has the Device administration rights doesn't bother it at all. If I lock it with the power button or when I use the Launcher to lock it, it allows me at all times to unlock the device with my fingerprint.
On my S7E on the other hand, when I use my Laucher to lock the device, it says I only can use my pattern (or pin/password if I had set that up as an alternative). But when I lock it using the power button, it doesn't mind that I want to use my fingerprint.
It is annoying as ****, since it is maybe the most used feature on my S6 in combination with my fingerprint. I don't know why Samsung (or Google for that matter) has changed this.
I've read several things. Someone had the same issue with the only difference was that he wanted to use a bluetooth smart lock instead of the fingerprint. Unfortunately, no solution.
The thing I'm asking here:
Is there any way to AND keep the possibility to lock the device with the gesture (triple click) AND use my fingerprint.
Things I've done/tried so far:
1. Install another app that does the same thing. There are several on Google Play, but the issue persist.
2. Try to set up a shortcut that triggers the activity of turning of the screen. I haven't found the activity in the (very long) list. Maybe someone knows the activity that triggers the device to go to sleep, that would be one solution.
3. Found out IT HAS TO BE possible. If you go to the dialer, then enter *#0*# you find the service menu. In that menu you have an option to try if putting the device to sleep works. It's the 'Sleep' button. It turns of the screen and locks it with the possibility to unlock it with my fingerprint. So I figured there is an software solution to put the device to sleep, without the Device administration rights.
Anyone encountered a similar problem and found a solution ( WITHOUT ROOT )? I would be greatful.

Thanks, I'll look into that!
Love the fingerprint unlock locked-screen feature. However, it has it's drawbacks. Can only be activated via - PIN lock. How you set up a pin,and after that it gives you the option to use fingerprint as well.
My question is : how do i use fingerprint only!? No more pin just the finger.
Best part about fingerprint is that you don't have to use the physical button. if the screen is off / locked just hold finger and it opens.
Also. I am now using Action Launcher 3. Super launcher. But it does not allow the function to unlock via fingerprint. Does anybody know if this works ? Where is the setting ?
The pin is used to unlock your sim card, the fingerprint is used to unlock your phone's system. If you don't want any pin code, you can either remove the sim card (well, it will probably be a little bit annoying when you want to call someone ^^), or set the pin code to blank. I don't even know if this is possible, actually.
As phones usually ask pin code before system unlock (fingerprint or other), you probably cannot have a third app that would allow to use fingerprint as pin, as it would have to start before the system. Unless I miss an idea, I think you can't do what you ask.
Figured that it has an automated backup just in case the finger is not recognized . You either get the pin or the pattern. Never just the fingerprint. There is no way around this.
Another question: how do i get the list of apps to go in one single page. Right now With ZenUI launcher there are a few pages. Action launcher 3 has one page (option). ..Is there any way to do this with ZenUI ? I got back to the default launcher from Asus cuz of the fingerprint. it's kinda cool to have it. Even tho Action Launcher 3 is amazing.
What's the problem with Action Launcher? I'm using it with fingerprint unlock and it works just fine.

Clearly you only assumed things only from the setup screen.
OF COURSE in this phone we only use our fingerprint to unlock the screen. No buttons, No pins, No pattern.
If, that is IF, the phone can't recognize your fingerprint for 5 times in a row (because of wet finger, wrong position, dirty etc) it will then requires a pin or pattern unlock. This is why the setup ask you for your pin/pattern first.
