Hello, I was wondering if there is anyway to remove the "pin required when phone has been restarted" from the lock screen?
Turn screen lock off, then turn it back on again and it will ask you if you want your PIN to be required at bootup.

Not sure if anyone has tried but when you set a PIN, lock pattern etc after you have set the update, it doesn't actually require you to enter this lock pattern / PIN when you turn the screen back on.
Occasionally it does but generally you can unlock the phone simply by swiping the stand unlock screen bar across the screen.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Even if you don't is anyone experiencing the same situation??
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.
Check my photo below please.
hey guys,
ive a secured lock pattern enabled for my device and when u select that it has a option that asks you for the pattern before the phone is completely switched on! so i have enabled that and it would use to ask me for the pattern. but i donno how off lately its just not asking me for the pattern and it directly switches on the phone!!! wat can i do to get the pattern back before the phone is switched on????
I currently have no password on my lock screen meaning that anyone can unlock my phone. But when I go into my device settings to set a password for the lock screen it ask's me to enter a pin. I can't for the life of me remember what this pin is as before I had always used the fingerprint unlock and never a pin? But this means that I now can't secure my lock screen. Does anyone know if there is a way around this - e.g any way I can change it through my Google account online or something?
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.
