Hi,
probably this sounds like a noob question, but I couldn't find a solution. I have installed s2u2, which is quite nice. But after some time, I additionally get the builtin lock active (tap left Softbutton, tap middle of screen). Since it already is locked by s2u2, I want to deactivate this, but couldn't find it anywhere in the settings (it *must* be there, no?). I only found this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307270&highlight=Registry+settings+for+LOCK&page=2
but it's about a lock that an Exchange server sets...

this method does not disable the lock, only removes it from the screen (anyway you won't have problems, I gues).
Go to start -> settings -> today, there you have two tabs: appearance and items, go to items scroll up or down 'till you find Device Lock and then uncheck it and click OK, that's it.
Cheers
no, that's not my problem at all, that would just remove it from the today screen (where I don't have it anyway). I want to prevent the device from locking by itself...

Well, than S2U2 is conflicting somehow with HTC lock and it's making it react. Try uninstalling S2U2 to see if if it acts on itself again.
As for complete removal of lock, I think it's embedded on ROM.
Cheers
I believe it's embedded into the ROM. I've got the same problem with the built-in lock because I sync to my exchange server at work to access work email. The only way to disable the built-in lock would be to remove your outlook settings.
I know about the lock when you use an exchange server, but that's because of a policy from the Exchange server. I don't use a Exchange server though. I'm quite sure I'm just missing some "standard" WM setting here... just can't find it
That was the only way I could find to prevent it from locking.....uninstall I mean.
i was never able to locate a setting for it.
According to http://www.google.com/mobile/buzz/ , we should have
buzz.google.com
Buzz Layer on Google Maps for mobile
Buzz on a Place Page
Voice shortcuts
Buzz icon shortcuts
Where are they?
Buzz.google.com is fine, I just got the Maps layer from cyanogenmod 5 stable, I don't know what that Place Page is, voice shortcut is fine since I installed cyanogenmod 5 stable, and I don't know how to get the icon shortcuts.
How are we supposed to get all the features? How about people on stock ROMs?
For the icon shortcut, bookmark the buzz.google page, then go to your home screen, long press > Shortcuts > Bookmark > Select the Buzz bookmark
You'll then get this:

Weird, when I made the Buzz shortcut, I get the default bookmark icon. I wish mine had the cool Buzz icon like yours!
You need to have already gone to that webpage at least once and let the page completely load before making the shortcut.
Heck, I tried making a shortcut to Google.com (my homepage), and it was their blue G icon.
Anyone else not getting emailed Buzz updates? When I started using Buzz a couple days ago, it would e-mail my gmail account when someone would reply to a thread that I started, or one I was posting in. Now nothing. No more emails, I have to go online and check manually with the phone or gmail on my PC. Tried looking for a setting to change it, cant find anything.
lol at my name on top.
Was asking about EQ settings.
If they get it right , as good as they did on PPC. It will be a massive step forward for Android.

Try the ShootMe screen capture app from the Market
I'm wondering why we should manually make the bookmark shortcut while it's automated on iPhone. A message will popup on the iPhone and ask if you want to make a shortcut on the springboard (iPhone desktop).
sorry for the noob question i did try a search & read the wiki trouble is my question is "what is this" so rather hard to search, when the question is what is it!!!
on the start home screen there's a 5 item widget/toolbar that has
- wifi
- blueTh
- ?
- ?
- screen brightness
What are the 2 items that i only have question marks for, i've pressed them but what do they do (other than nothing obvious)?
Thanks in advance....
I'm pretty sure one is to enable data on mobile networks, the 2nd is to enable apps (eg gmail, maps etc) to sync using data on mobile networks or wifi.

cheers,
not sure though....
the 3rd & 4th buttons really dont seem to do anything even when plugged into the pc, what happens when you press them on yours?
thanks again
wifi, bluetooth, gps, sync, brightness
is there any way to edit those functions? or add/take away our own?
i'd love to swap a data connection on/off for that sync button.

Noooooo not on a Stock rom mate
yeah, I looked around a little today. Looks like the OS doesn't allow access to turning data on/off from anywhere but the settings menu. I found an app that just created a shortcut to the data menu. Works for me.
+1
I found 2g/3g in the market that links directly to the data menu & placed it on my homescreen
elegant? no - does the job? yes
heres how to bypass the google account activation on the lg g4
1...You need a usb otg device
2...download quick shortcut maker http://apk-dl.com/quickshortcutmaker

4...open accessibility on the first screen when you boot the phone
5...under accessiblity go down to services where switch access turn it from off to on
6 click settings then scroll to the bottom to key combo for overview and set it to the volume down button by hitting volume down
then click the back key til you get back to the screen with emergency dial

8 hit volume down again and go back to the file manager and find the quick short cut maker apk and install it
9 do not hit done hit open instead once its open search home selector the click select home then click try then select home it will bring you to the home screen of the phone
10 go into the phone setting then click general then apps then clear all google app data (make sure you clear every google app!!)
very important then go into playstore and add your own gmail account will say connection error (reboot phone)
11 then you can go to through the setup fully it will say your account has been added and you can now setup your phone
12 for good mesaures do a factory reset from the setting let the phone reboot and set up fresh voila a fully functioning phone with your google account

To unlock a stolen handset.
A genuine seller would be able and willing to unlock a phone they have sold with this feature enabled.

let's say you want to sell your phone one day. You have already registered your google account.
How would you un-register it on the device so as to sell it ?
Things have changed with MM as i understand.

You disable your screen lock before factory resetting the phone.
The factory reset protection only kicks in if the phone was factory reset with a screen lock still enabled (to stop someone stealing a phone, using recovery to wipe data, then selling it on).
Hi guys,
I never had the Google Launch/Google now thing before on my Moto X Pure. But suddenly now it is there on the left most of my home screen. And it opens up every single time I swipe to the most left screen.
This is a huge battery drain. I want to disable it.
I tried to search online. They say I have to disable the Google Cards or something. But I look at the Google Now setting and that setting is nowhere in sight on my Moto X Pure.
Please help!

Hi. I disabled Your Feed. I even disabled them under "Customized". However the left most screen is still there. If possible I want that Google screen gone from the home screen altogether. It is so annoying.

Holding an empty spot in the home screen shows wallpaper settings, widget settings, and Settings (Home Screen). I don't see that option "show google app" under the Home Screen Setting.

Sorry, thought that settings in Google now launcher and pixel launcher would be similar, but what I said is an option in pixel launcher, why not give it a try?

Swipe left to the feed > swipe left again > settings > Your feed > tap on feed to disable
I had the same 'issue' in that I like to have just one homescreen, not multiple homescreens to swipe between but google had forced this second google 'card/now/feeds' (whatever) homescreen upon me and my Nexus 6P (I realise the OP has a different phone but hopefully this solution will work for all phones).
I searched and searched for a solution but could not find one. Eventually through messing about I managed to get rid of it myself though this does reduced the 'power' of the google search app (which I don't care about as I open apps I want when I want e.g. I open browser to search the web, open maps to search for a place, contacts for contacts etc.) So try my solution below and I hope it works for you too:
From your homescreen swipe right/left (finger from left to right) to get to the dedicated google 'card/now/feeds' homescreen. Press the three-lines menu button then Settings then Accounts & Privacy, then Google Account then select the 'sign out' radio button. Wait a few seconds while it signs out... now press your home button and you should only have just one homescreen now (or at least however many you had before the google dedicated one). You may have to repeat this a second time if it didn't sign you out (google does not want you to keep your information private haha!!) Now to complete the process press your bottom right 'square' button (to the right of home 'circle' button) and swipe the google app off to the right to close the app from memory, otherwise if you leave it in memory and then select it by accident it will sign you back in and create the extra homescreen again!
You can still use the google search bar that is at the top of your homescreen (I have a Nexus 6p so that's where it is for me) - it works just fine
Go to settings, google, search, your feed and disable it.
Here is the solution
Hi
I have the solution. From the apps swipe Google app to the app info on top and then go to storage in info settings then clear all the data. Thats it. You just need to customize your home screen shortcuts again.
You could just use a custom launcher, like Nova Launcher... You get lots of customization abilities too. Nova Launcher is the pretty much the first app I install on any phone I have.
Google app > Settings > Your feed > turn off feed.
No need to clear anything.
2nding Nova Launcher, but I only use it on devices that aren't stock or near stock.

Thanks so much. this worked for me on my Moto G4.
Thank you looneyjetman! Worked like a charm! I had tried turning it off through "feed" and "voice", nothing worked. Privacy settings is the way to go.

I have and LG G6 running Google Now Launcher (coming from a Nexus 5X) and after an update this extra home screen was added to my system which I could not disable.
What I have done is uninstalled Google Now Launcher which only uninstalled the updates. Then I set auto updates to "off" via the Play Store which has kept my screen clear of this unwanted home screen. (though this had to side effect of removing my home screen customisation)
However your solution sounds much easier - has it ever resigned you in bringing back the unwanted home screen?
