Where is the setting to tell the phone not to pass lock the phone immediately, would be nice if it would lock it after 5 or 10 minutes of no use.
Settings < Security < Set Up Lock Screen. Once you have a lock method set up, the option shows up as "Lock Phone After" and has several options. That's the only way to do it through phone settings. I'm pretty sure you have to set up a lock method.
I'm running CM 6 ... I don't see that option .. :-\
Guys,
My company-policy makes me use a pin code to unlock the phone. In the past I used a screen off and lock app. There I used to check permissions for screen off...
so when I touched the icon, the screen would turn of and locked the phone.
Since ICS it seems to clash with my exchange policy, leaving me to enter my pincode EVERY time I unlock the phone while I've set my exchange policy on 10 minutes...
So I thought to use another screen off app, but it seems those apps have a delay (something about ics security). This could lead to pressing the soft buttons and waking the device in the 5 seconds (or so) delay.
Three questions:
1. Is it possible to have the two policies (exchange and screen off and lock) next to eachother without having to enter the pin every single time?
2. Is there an app which doesn't have the delay?
3. Is it possible to adjust a value or something to cut the delay?
many thanks in advance!
I have been trying to get Widget Locker working on my One but have hit an issue. I am thinking I may not be able to fix this without Root but I wanted to run it by the community to verify.
I have my phone linked to an Exchange server that forces a 4 digit pass-code onto the device. So from the default lock screen I swipe up and then get the keypad to unlock the device.
Widget Locker replaces the main screen and 60% of the time when I unlock the device it takes me to the keypad directly.
The other 40% of the time is the issue. When I unlock from Widget Locker it takes me to the default screen where I would swipe up. From this point I can ether swipe up and unlock or shut off the screen. When I try again it usually works perfectly.
Is there any way to get consistent behavior from Widget Locker without root? What I would expect would be to unlock and be taken to the keypad 100% of the time.
I would love to use widget locker, but I always get a 3-7 second delay with turning on my phone. Sorry I can't help you.

Go into Settings and set the HTC lockscreen to none. It forces the phone to only use WL, and you never see the stock lockscreen. Works for me,

That kills the security on the phone. We need to have ether a pin or password unlock to secure the device. Even without it I would want a pattern unlock at the least to keep it somewhat safe.
I expanded my search a bit and this seems to be a common problem on phones that have any sort of lockscreen security. What I cant understand is why it does work some times, but not others. It does not appear to be a timing issue but I cannot narrow down what else would randomly (apparently random) trigger the stock lock screen yet work other times.

No, it doesn't. The HTC lockscreen and the Security lockscreen are two different things. You can have the HTC lockscreen set to none, and still have the option to unlock with any of the various lock methods(i.e. PIN, Pattern, Face Unlock, etc...) I know this is true because I use it everyday. I use WL, have my HTC lockscreen set to none, and still have to enter a PIN to unlock my phone. And have no delay when using WL once the phone is booted.

And I am an idiot. You are completely correct. I am trying it now, thank you.
Edit: Working like a charm. If anybody else is having this issue the setting is under Personalize, lock screen style.
Thanks again!
My Note 4 is encrypted, so it insists on a password for the lockscreen. That's fine with me. I've set it to lock after an hour of inactivity (or when I lock it manually). But in the hour before it locks and requires the password again, it would be nice to have the fingerprint-lock in place, rather than no security at all. Is there any way to set that up?
This has been annoying me lately but I don't know when it started. I'm running 5.1.1, using fingerprint lock (tried also with pin lock, same thing), with a 10 minute delay of locking after screen off. For some reason, in the lock screen I no longer have access to quick settings, even when the screen isn't pin/fingerprint locked (within the 10 minutes). Was this changed on purpose for "security purposes" and now even when you don't want the lock screen protected, you have no access to quick settings?
Is it just me? Or is that the way it's meant to be/has always been?
