Hi All,
I want to use the gesture lock, but not every time I lift the phone up!!!
Is there any way of setting it so that it only comes on if the phone has been unused for a specific amount of time?
Any ideas much appreciated!!!! Alternatively, and recommendations for remote lock programs?
Thnx a million!
yeah same here, great idea. Should be possible as widgets can toggle gesture unlocking manually.

does setting the display time out to more than the default 1 minute work for you?
Not a exact answer to your need but perhaps using Autolock is an alternative ...

Hi all, I have a very easy problem, but i can't solve it ..
I need to block my PDA beacuse every time that a textmessage comes, ( and i have got it in my pocket) a lot of programs open accidentally.
How i can block my blackstone, when i switch off the monitor ? Does exist a program for me ?
Thanks Bye
I use AutoLock. It is great.
i have just installed it .. but i cant find it anywhere ..
does it works for win 6.5 ?
Yes, it is for 6.5. Go to Settings\System and you should see an icon for Smart Lock. Select (in addition to the one already ticked) to Lock on Suspend.
In addition I also apply the following tweaks to AutoLock
- a nice skin I use the Dusk skin
- I also apply the HeartofWolf delay fix (this moves the slide to the bottom of the screen and does fix the delay problem to a large extent.)
thanks guys !!

Use this for the delay fix instead (works perfectly and very simple/easy):

Thanks, I also came across that last night after this post and can confirm that it works even better than the HeartofWolf fix. The only issue I suppose is that one needs to remember to redo the fix each time one aligns the screen.
sorry but i have another little problem.. For example, when i'm using the tom tom navigator after 1 minute the screen goes black and "autolock" starts running.. Is there a solution to prevent this ?
Thanks in advance..

What settings have you chosen for lock? If set to Dim Lock, it will lock each time the screen dims. You will need to choose Suspend lock. You can also check the timing of your screen dims and suspend in Settings\System\Power\Advanced
Some WinMo 6.5 roms have the keylock setting and some don't. I'm talking about the setting where you can enable or disable buttons waking the device from sleep.
I have a ROM that doesn't have that setting but I would like it. Are there any cabs that add that setting? I always like being able to press any button to turn on my device.
Thanks.
bump...
Sorry, I really like this feature.
Someone?.......
Anyone. Sorry for bothering...
Thanks for the replies... Not.
Anyway here's a link in case anyone wants to accomplish this.

Is there any widget or shortcut for locking the device just like the power button does?
I find it wery tricky to lock the phone with the power button an i would prefer the lock on the screen?
So just a simple "widget" to lock the screen??
Anyonen, please!
306 Views and no answer? Why does this **** even exist dudes?
If none answered your question that means that they don't know, and probably are not interested in investigating any further, u know how to use google?

Reading this tells me that u probably need root since it calls for hidden function "setScreenState" , but i am just a noob at this so don't listen to me.

If you can access paid apps, search for "screen off". I never had to use the power button to off the phone anymore

Thanks Seifer to you too,
but screen off seem change the lock screen, can you confirm?
I had already found all of these application, but would like keep the original screen.
In other words, would only a very simply button wich lock the screen as the hardware
button, nothing else.
Regards
ur welcome sorry i cant help any further i dont have the sgs yet so i cant experiement to find out for u
sadly, as of THIS point in time, what you are asking for is impossible.
The best alternative is Widgetlocker, but since you don't want that, there is no solution.
Hi,
many thanks @all!
For now, I will attempt to survive
Regards
Search for Lock Screen Widget in Market. But Only Android 2.2.

Hi I love the new "slide" lock screen. I love sliding the round "thingy" to unlock the screen or to get to the camera. I used to use the locker widget on my sgs2 but I want to stick to stock android as much as possible and getting rid of all those "addons" is a joy ;-) now the only thing that bothers me is that I can't lock my lock screen with the "slide" lock screen and put a pin in case I loose my galaxy nexus...(I know that sound cheesy) Can someone give me a hint? I do not want to use an extra plugin for this simple feature to work...
Cheers,
Silentbob
Options, security, use PIN unlock code.

Yes that's exactly what I would like... is it possible?
Cheers...
If you use an app like WidgetLocker you can set it up so that widget locker is your main lockscreen and you can make it look exactly like the stock lockscreen. Then if you enable pin unlock you can make it request for a pin after you unlock with widgetlocker

I'm confused here. Blur did this on my DX and it drove me crazy because no functionality from the slide lock screen other than vibrate adjustment. Does the OP want to have the slide lock on top so that it's possible to use the slide lock features on ICS? I would imagine with that a pin lock below, those features would still require pin lock entry. Perhaps I'm confused with the work flow that the OP wants.

Yup, this works perfectly.
Its dumb to have to slide to unlock only to get to the code screen.

Thank u for the time you have taken to write this help full comment.
Hi to all and thanks for your feedback. I think there is some need to better explain the reason I would like to use the swipe to unlock feature and at the same time have a pin lock.
I need a quick way to access to my camera app from the lock screen. I take a ton of images this way and I love the feature of the iPhone where you can take images from the lock screen very quickly but u need a pin to enter to the springboard. I hoped that this would be possible with stock android. As I asked in my first post I don't want to install the Lockscreenwidget. It has way to many options and some times it does not work. So now I hope that my intent is better understandable.
Thank you very much

I figured that's what you meant. Yeah, it would be a nice feature if you snap a photo or adjust the volume without entering the homescreen. Alas, to my knowledge, that functionality doesn't exist with a PIN. It's the app market for you my friend, and maybe Seekdroid in case you lose your phone and want to wipe it (assuming you are paranoid about security).

My lock screen...
Hi
I use nova launcher prime and am used to a shortcut on my screen to quickly lock the screen instead of using the hardware button to lock the screen. However since I have moved over to p2.. After I press the lock screen shortcut from nova the screen for goes black but the screen isn't locked... It is not till 10 secs later when the screen actually locks
I hate this feature as it stops me from putting the phone into my pocket instantly after locking. How to fix this? I have set up power button to instantly lock the phone after sleep.
It's not P2s problem it's Android's security feature. You'll need root access to instantly lock screen
But from quicktiles there is an icon to do it

Thanks yes i came across that as well... However it is really a total failure on Android part to not have anything built in to allow people to instantly lock... Isn't there any way to put a shortcut to the system icon on my desktop? In stock launcher or otherwise?
Unfortunately looks like Android is going the way of Apple with these silly restrictions becoming more n more common
Well it's a security feature which means they've probably found something wrong with putting a quick lock from 3rd party apps.
Use "Wide touch" found under Setting->Feature. You can assign multiple gesture into it.
