Hello everyone. I'm Shrinidhi.
I'm new to this forum. So pls forgive me if I make mistakes or break the forum rules.
Now, let me explain the problem I'm facing in my YU Yureka Mobile.
I recently updated my Yureka mobile from cyanogen OS 12.0 to Cyanogen OS 12.1 through OTA update.
I haven't rooted my phone.
After the Update, I did a factory reset and wiped cache partition in boot menu.
Updated all the apps including the Google Play Services on play store.
I thought of changing my default lock screen to smart lock feature. Specifically Face recognition unlock feature.
After all set up to unlock through smart unlock, I locked my phone and pressed power button expecting that gave unlock feature would show up.
But nothing happened.
It's not even displaying that oval shaped face recognition screen. It's just ask me to slide unlock the phone.
I tried all possible troubleshooting. But no luck.
I even tried to enable Smart Lock in Trust agents option in security screen.
But I couldn't find Trust Agents too in Settings menu.
I believe I've Updated Google play services to the latest version. Coz, i hope my problem is connected to it.
I need a solution ASAP.
Pls help me out this issue.
I would definitely appreciate if anyone from this forum seeing my post, reply to my e-mail address : [email protected]
Or even here in this forum.
Thank you in advance.
Hello, i activated just for test screen lock pattern. Now i cant go back to none screen lock, the option is grey( Disabled by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage), i only can choose between pattern, pin code or password. I try all methods find on internet wich work for other phone ex samsung with android 6.0, no one works on huawei p8 lite android 6.0.

I try evrything I find on internet and is not working, there is anybody with the same problem with p8 lite?
Im also facing the same issue.. please post if you found some solution
Exact same issue here
I found a way to "cheat" it
Set code to pattern->get pattern wrong 5 times -> password now removed
Would like to see a permanent fix though
Or AOSP lockscreen lol
Thank you very much, is working for me, the option "none" is still grey, thank you again
I have android 6.0 and i face the same problem. Any fix yet?
huawei p8 lite, android 6, screen lock problem
I activated PIN screen lock for testing VPN, yesterday in the morning, and after that I was not able to remove it. The only thing that worked for me was setting pattern and backup PIN, and to make wrong pattern five times, as someone before suggested. Option none is still "grey" but at least I do not have any more screen lock of any kind. Thank you very much. :good:
your post saved me from going totally nuts!
Just to say thank you!

I've searched whole the net and found nothing. Your cheat worked, and I've just signed up in XDA to thank you. :victory::victory::victory:
After using a wrong pattern several times (it took well over 5), it says "Try again in 30 seconds". Grr…
It's a P8 Lite running Android 6.0 as the latest firmware (…B584).
1)opt for screenlock>back pin password
2)now try wrong pattern in screenlock till it comes for FORGET THE PASSWORD
3)now go for back up pin
4)now you will get an option to select screenlock.now also NONE optionwill be grey
5)don't opt anything that and press back
6)after this screen lock option becomes automatically NONE,even without any selection(go to settings and check it)

Works for me too! (P8 Lite)
Hi,
As most devices running Android 5.0 and newer are encrypted by default, this might be the cause that you are unable to remove the lockscreen protection. It uses a locally stored and randomly generated key until a lockscreen protection method is enabled, then switches to this as the encryption key.
If disabling the device managers and erasing the Certificates do not allow you to remove the lockscreen protection, there is an option under Developer options> Screen lock. Disabling this will remove any lockscreen protection that is in place. If this is also grayed out the only option is to perform a full factory reset of the device (including internal storage wipe) in order to reset the encryption key.
Cheers
I have had this problem ever since i installed lollipop roms on my i9505, whenever i go to security, it always says swipe and none option are deactivated by device administrator, credentials etc. Also PIN lock and password lock dont work, i set them but i would still have the swipe lock when i go ahead and lock my phones screen. Also pattern works. I have cleared credentials and deactivated all device administrators but the problem persists, is there anything i can do to solve this? I updated my modems through mobile odin as my computer is unable to read my phone die to faulty usb ports.
Here i attached the screenshot to my lock screen options.
Oh yea i forgot to mention this problem only appears on touchwiz roms that i have installed, cyanogen mod roms and other aosp roms i have installed like the 7.0 nougat rom by jdc dont have this problem for me
Is the device encrypted? Are you using VPN?
Sent from my ASUS_Z00AD using XDA Labs
No its not encrypted nor is it on vpn.
Trying to help out a family member. She setup a pattern on her phone and forgot it....
Google search returns "dr.fone" but when installed it only shows options till GS3 IIRC
Samsung find my mobile doesn't help as location is off
She has no backup and doesn't sync with Google Photos.
Any idea how to remove the pattern and retain the data?
if you set pattern only to unlock the phone then there is no chance you forget pattern i am using finger,pattern & iris to unlock my S8+ there is no way to unlock your phone without correct pattern factory reset is only option to unlock if FRP ia not On

i've read that there is a way to sideload other firmware, like in videos such as below (xda wont let me post video because i'm new), but search for "ALL SAMSUNG WITHOUT DATA LOST Remove Pin,Pattern,Password In FRP ON,OEM Mode Part 2 to Part 18"
anyone know how to do this for s8+ ?
I set a pattern and don't remember it, battery died so I couldn't use my fingerprint. phone is NOT attached to samsung account, so I am really in a bind here because I need to access it withOUT wiping
Please help
