[Q] SIM Lock when resuming from flight mode

Due to company security policy, my SIM is pin locked.
When I turn the device on, everything works fine: I'm asked for the pin and then the device connects to the operator network.
But, as the thread title says, when I resume the device from Flight Mode, the PIN input keypad is not displayed, so the SIM remains in the lock state.
The only way I found to unlock it is to reboot the device.
Has anyonefound a better workaround / fix ?
Thanks in advance
Mauro

i simply unlock the screen and enter pin code after returning from flight mode. Don't know why you restart it?

Are you on stock or custom rom?

because I'm not presented for the pin code keypad, after returing from flight mode, and I don't know how to activate it.
For example, on my HTC HD, simply pressing the call button, the pin input keypad pops up.....

stock 2.1.1.A.0.6, it's a company phone, not my personal one, so I'm not allowed to flash it with a custom ROM

Try to lock and unlock screen.Can you look in the log and see if there is any errors when this happens.

I've googled how to look the log file, if I'm right it's not just a file you can browse with a shell explorer, you need an application such as a log collector, I'm going to try this evening at home

Holding menu key shows keyboard, at least on stock SE homescreen.

Can't you just hold the lock button, it popups a menu for airplane mode and silent mode. And turn off.

This is the only workaround I found
1) go to "location & security settings"
2) go to "set up SIM card lock"
3) un-tick "Lock SIM card"
4) enter your PIN as required
5) your phone will now connect to the mobile network. full bars!!
6) re-tick "set up SIM card lock" if you still want to protect your phone using SIM card PIN
7) enter your PIN as required
I'm sure there must be a smarter way........

Disable PIN screen return key

Hi
I use the PIN on my phone for security lock.
Quick question, is there any way to have the lock-screen unlock as soon as I enter the correct code? For instance, on a previous ROM if I typed the 4 digit passcode, it'll unlock as soon as I hit that fourth digit. Is there any equivalent of this on Android? I'm using the Imperium ROM 7.0 on my rooted Galaxy S4 I9505, I have to enter the PIN and then hit the arrow-like return button.
Any suggestions? Its a minor annoyance and sort of got used to entering PIN without the return key addition.
Thanks

Its ok I managed to find the answer, Its built into Wanam Exposed!

Just tried this and confirm it work fine.
Tip: Make sure the PIN you enter is the same entered in Wanam exposed or you risk issues!

Quick pin unlock?

So is there a way to quick pin unlock right now (i.e. dont need to hit enter key) or do we have to just wait for xposed to come out for mm?

Lock Problem

I've put a PIN on my phone and I don't want it now. But when I go to lock screen-password, I put my actual PIN and I get this:

In up corner you see privacy protection, on your Firmware will be like Encrypt or smlt. Just press it, and follow the steps! But if f you can't then make factory reset!

That's a known bug in the latest firmwares. Set a pattern and insert it wrongly for 5 times then press "forgot the pattern" button or something like that and after entering the pin code it will ask you to choose the new lock method. Just press the home button and you are done

Help mi a1 asking pattern while booting

Help my mi a1 asking the authentication pattern/pin in the middle of booting instead of after finishing the booting like usually, its bothering me coz it make the boot twice longer

You have enabled Secure start-up.To disable it go to Settings > Security & location > Screen lock, enter your pin/pattern, click on pin/pattern and select No in Secure start-up screen & enter your old password two times.

Thank you soo much man its works

Ok, but if no PIN/pattern/password is asked during boot sequence, does it mean data partition is not encrypted ? If PIN is asked only after boot (first asked PIN, then SIM PIN, the pattern/fingerprint) does it mean data is not encrypted ?
