I have my company email synced to the evo. The exchange policy requires the lockscreen to be present. I don't mind unlocking after ten minutes of non-use but it's becoming somewhat tedious to unlock after it's in standby for a minute.
Is there a better / faster unlock screen? Would a new keyboard help?
Thanks.
There'd an app called app protector that does app level security. It should provide the same level of security.

for putting a pattern unlock instead. If you dont want any type of security, then all you have to do is install "lockpicker" from the market, run it, and check the box that says start service.

Great. Thank you.
I tried 3 times today with different people and no dice
Call them and act like there's a problem with your voicemail or tell them your not receiving your text messages. They're more then likely give you the MSL code to check and see if everything is in order. Or tell them your msid number is wrong or blank. They will have to give you your MSL to reprogram your phone.

What do you need the MSL for? I'm not 100% sure what it is used for.
I spoke to a sprint tech and he gave me ##786# and then reset and gave me a 6 digit number. Is that my MSL? The reason I called to speak to sprint was that my phone would say "unknown" when I turned on 4G and would never turn itself on. You can use this excuse if you call them. (The fix to this problem was replacing the phone. Factory reset and re-flashing didn't fix it.)

that worked got my msl thanks!!!
the reason is i am looking to change my slot index but now i cant find where it is
Nevermind someone beat me to it.
An easier way to get it is the "getprop" command in ADB or the ConnectBot App connecting locally. It clearly shows those 6 magic numbers and tells you that its your msl several lines down.

Easiest way - get the free MSL reader app from the market!
Though I think it requires root.

Slot index is controlled at the tower. No matter what you switch your phone to, the network will override it.
dang it well maybe i dont remember the name correctly
but its the number that controls how often the phone checks in for calls
i remember the hero had it and the pixi

This is the easiest.
the getprop command in ConnectBot works even without root Pretty easy to identify the msl as the property is called [ril.MSL].
Confirm ConnectBot worked on an unrooted Epic
1. Run ConnectBot
2. From the dropdown on bottom left corner select local if not already selected
3. Use any name
4. Type getprop press Enter
and scroll up a little and there it is, thank you pgk23 and drkgouki

Thanks this was easy.
Another easy way is this. You will need another working sprint phone. Yes its kinda long and convoluted but it works. Log into your sprint account online. Find the thing that says I want to...Activate new phone. Turn off both phones. Activate the second phone on the account and let it turn off the first one. I forget what screen it is but after the screen that you have to wait while it's activated, there's going to be programming numbers in there. I think the first field is secondary blah blah. Then under that is one time blah blah. The secondary is your msl. You don't need to program the phone like it says on that screen if the phone is used. If it's brand spankin new, then yes you do. Anyways, the screen after that one is the last screen. Turn on the second phone and let it stay on for a few minutes. Make sure you can make calls and use data. To be on the safe side and not confuse the network because you switch phones like every five minutes, wait like thirty minutes to an hour then turn off the second phone. Now go back and do the same routine with the phone you originally wanted the msl. Don't rush it or you might have to call customer care for real to have them fix your mistakes. There was occasions that the data didn't want to come back on so I had to call them from another phone, but that doesn't happen very often. Just give the network some time to change over to the other phone before you start changing things again.
Getprop didn't work on all the phones I've tried. It worked on moment but I couldn't get it to work or find the number with the evo I think.

+1 unrooted Epic
easiest way..:
connectbot
getprop [ril.MSL]
that gives the msl without you having to search for it.
Thanks
Thanks for posting this and the people who supplied the answers, this site and all the people are awesome, now its time for me to switch threads and do the streaming/video fix. Thanks again!
Thanks for the info.

It's kind of like a password to your phone that sprint uses (not the best analogy, I know). You can use the sprint web chat to ask for it (and its msl code, his keyboard probably autocorrected it )

Yeah I work at sprint. I'm pretty sure the msl is just used to authenticate your phone in a shorter way (esn dec has like ten characters and the hex has less but it has letters). I use it to manually program phones to the network when it doesn't take over the air or if its just an older phone.I guess I would say its like a virtual Sim card.the network uses it to communicate with the phone

These settings will NOT stick. As is the case with many options in the nexus s programming menu

Ah. Apparently, it means "Get your MSL code. Call Sprint."
I certainly know what an MSL code is. There are easier ways to get it than to call Sprint.

I was able to find the MSL without calling or using the MSL app.
I did an alteration to the following instructions, and was able to retrieve it after a couple attempts.
http://androidforums.com/htc-hero-sprint/117401-guide-easy-way-get-msl-without-calling-sprint-using-cmda-workshop.html
I tweaked the instruction a little bit by presenting the msl input screen before returning to alogcat.
Instructions I used:
Fresh boot phone and await all apps/things (scripts, widgets, and misc) to load.
Launch alogcat
Clear out the log by pressing menu button and then select "clear"
Go to your dialer and enter ##DATA# or ##3282# which will bring up the DATA menu
Once the menu pops up just select "View" mode
At this point you will see a screen with 6 selections. Select "others".
Then select "work mode".
Attempt to input a random msl code. I used "000000". Of course it is incorrect. I then clicked cancel and then returned to the previous menu (work mode).
From here either press and hold the Home Key and select aLogcat if you ran it before, go to your tray and run Logcat.
After opening Logcat it will update, once it finishes press "Menu" and "Pause" the log.
Then scroll until you see a group of entries labeled "I/MSL_Checker" which should be green.
Locate the line that has "MSL result : " at the end of it (Or press Menu and Filter "MSL" )
And there you have it, your 6-digit MSL code without ever calling sprint or using a computer.

MSL (Master Subsidy Lock) code has nothing to do with activating a phone. MSL is a password that is needed to change settings in the EPST menu. These settings are password protected to protect an end user from changing settings that will cause the phone to not work correctly.

it will most likely be a while before we find this menu, maybe samsung learned their lesson after people unlocked their devices and the carriers got upset. so either it will be from a leak or someone is able to find it from some obscure way.
I have a Samsung Galaxy on5 and when I need to add forms and feeds it tells me I have some other type of device never tells me I have this one need help
