I know the thread title says enough but I'm going to elaborate on what I am looking for.
I am looking for a looking for a lock program with password protection similar to the one that comes on our Wizards, but without the timed lock. I want it to only lock my device when it is turned back on from sleep mode and no other time. Basically I only want to have to type a password in when the screen is turned back on and not again until I turn the screen back on again.
Does anyone know of a program with this kind of functionality? I really need this because unfortunately, I still live with my parent and my Mom likes to go through my phone and look at all my personal data like call logs and SMS. It's become a nuisance and I really want to do something about it.
Thanks in advance guys.
Dan.
What's wrong with the time out one? I think if you were to do a 0 seconds of the built in password thingy, you can have it ask for a password every time you switch it on.
The built in one will only ask you password if your phone is not used for a certain period of time. the time out function is basically from the backlight and battery time out, nothing to do with the passwor.d

Well the problem with the built in lock function is that it will lock the phone after so many seconds even if the backlight is still on and it gets annoying when I'm doing something but get sidetracked for a few seconds and then come back and have to type in the code to unlock it again, even though it never left my hand in the first place. I'll play with it a bit and see what can be done with it but from what I have seen so far, I don't really like it.
I'm pretty sure it is based on you switching off (suspend) the phone or the phone switch (suspend) off itself, because the option is "0 minutes". It can't have the phone locked after it us unused for 0 minutes.

Heh... It worked. Thanks. If I set the backlight and power options to never turn off display then it will never lock the device but once I press the power button to turn off the screen then it automatically locks the device so that you have to type in the password before you can resume playing around with the phone.
Thanks again. I had never tried that option before.

Hi - got an issue with Screen Lock - as in different than both my Diamond 6.1 ROM and custom 6.5 ROM..
My devices are setup to sync with an Exchange 2007 server, and which enforces a device lock policy (5 mins). I also have the devices setup to dim their back-light off after 30 seconds and turn the screen off completely after 1 minute.
On the HD2 every time the screen is switched off, be it either via the button or after the 1 min timeout, whenever I resume (even if straight away) I have to both do the swipe-to-unlock and enter my unlock pin code. Whereas on the other devices whether or not I have to enter the pin code is dependant on whether or not the 5 minute lock policy has elapsed.
For example, I might be actively working with a device over a period of 20 minutes. During this time the screen might switch off a number of times, but because I switch it on again <5 mins later then no pin unlock required. However with the HD2 it has to be entered EVERY time - a real pain.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
[BUMP]
Seems this issue gets more involved when moving to 1.48 ROMS!
To summarize, I'm after decoupling the native auto slide-to-unlock functionality from the security code entry. I like the fact the slide-to-unlock is engaged every time the screen is turned off then back on again, however want the security code entry to honour the selected timeout period (so as if the device is turned back on again within that period you only have to slide-to-unlock and not enter the security code).
Surely I'm not alone here..
Definitely annoying
This is definitely the most annoying "feature" of the HD2. Some customization for the logon screen (slide only, slide and pin, slide and pin after timeout period, pin only) would be very welcome.
So a thumbs up / vote for any solution to this.
I have tried the Disable Auto Device Lock.cab from this site, but that breaks all locks and I had several "automatic calls" + high battery drain because of pocket clicks. So I did a hard reset to get rid of this setting.
Hi All,
I am experiencing this issue with the screen timeout since last week. The screen does not time out even if the screen timeout is set to 30 seconds. What actually happens is whenever something like this happens i go into the display settings-->Screen Timeout to check and find that no value is selected. The I choose the 30 seconds option and then it starts working.
Another issue is the location update on the Genie Weather widget. It worked fine till recently. Now the location is updated only if I enter a my Home Wifi Network.
Has anybody experienced any of the above issues. A solution will be much appreciated.
Note: Am on stock 2.3.1 and not rooted or installed a custome rom.
Cheers
Sam
Sounds like you need to factory reset
I did that a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to get rid of the lookout app. And since then am experiencing this.

Dear all,
a few days ago I started again using Cyanogenmod, first latest stable (10.1.2) and today also latest nightly.
In Settings lockscreen is enabled with cLock-Widget, till now I tried normal unlock (move only), pattern, PIN and Password but in 90% of all cases, if I switch of my Nexus with Power, it is NOT locked. Pressing Power again, after a few seconds, minutes or just hours still show homescreen oder latest app which was open. Same if I do not use Power but waiting for automatic Lockscreen.
Do anyone has the same problem or just know how to fix that?

What are your settings for under Security for:
"Automatically Lock after ## after sleep" and do you have "Power button instantly locks" checked?

I've noticed this as well. Since around the time of the 10.1.2 release.
Basically, I've changed the default settings so there's a lock screen and it works at first, but then, seemingly randomly will stop working, ie no lock screen whatsoever. I can leave the phone for hours, and there's no security.
Seems like a pretty serious flaw to me. I've actually upgraded my CM installation, as well as done a complete reinstall, doing a factory reset, and updating to the latest nightly, ie last nights, and this issue is still there.
Basically means I can't rely on CM for keeping my phone secure. I've changed the settings back and forth, tried different security settings, reset things, reinstalled, etc. Tried everything I can think of.
Yes, all the proper settings are there, basically CM's default settings once you turn the lock screen on should work, power button instantly locks, timeout etc.
About ready to go back to an earlier version or different rom completely.
Anyone have any thoughts?

I just loaded my first rom on my Note 2 today. Getting the same thing. The quick fix is to close all the open apps, then it kicks you right back into the lock screen. I double click, then button in the top right and closes them all auto for me. I think it might be FB Messenger causing the issues but I can't say for sure. LMK if you that helps in the short term?
Am not running FB Messanger, so that's not causing it for me.
I'm using a pattern on my lock screen, not sure if this issue exists with all types of lock screens.
Hi all,
I've just installed CM 10.1.2 on my SGS2 (GT-I9100) yesterday and I had the exact same problem.
I've just figured out where the problem is:
I use Handcent SMS app, and when I receive a text, a quick reply window pop up. If I type my reply in it and hit send, it deactivate my lock screen.
Hope my answer helps!
I have the same issue. Disabled the popup function in Handcent settings and lockscreen i working.

There is an app that is bypassing the lock screen.
For me it was a proximity screen of app...
My Nexus 4 (Android 4.3, stock rom)
I recently cannot automatically lock screen just like default.
I checked the setting, I'm sure the sleep setting is all right (I set as 30 second). And i changed and tested every type of screenlock (pattern, none...).
Still the same, the screen will goes dim but it will never locked down UNLESS i press the power button. (I always wait for 1,2 minutes)
I tried to restart my phone, the problem solved. But after a few days, same issues happened again. (And I tried 3,4 times, still remain the same issue).
At the same time, maybe it is something wrong(or related) with my administrators setting? As i can't deactivate the app's permission unless i restarted my phone.
Sorry for my bad English~
