I like my device locked after pressing the Power button.
The screen goes off and I want my device locked.
Where in the prefs do I setup?
By default, every time you press the standby button, it is locked already. When you wake the device, you always have to do the downward swipe to unlock...
So, what's the problem?
If you mean the pattern code then it is a choice when you set the pattern up.....I think default is set to 3 mins.....change it to immediately.

Thats exactly what's not working. I push the power knob. And my device just wakes up.
I can't find any settings in the pattern preferences either. THAT'S my problem
Wohoo. Just found it in and undersection of cyanogen prefs.
Not sure if this is a bug, but I noticed that if you are running an app that has a "..." menu button at the bottom (next to the app switch/task manager button) and you press the power button to lock the phone, next time you unlock it the menu button will still be there. Pressing it takes you to the application you were in before.
It only works for apps that have the menu button at the bottom. I tried other more secure locks and the menu button still appears, but pressing it does nothing.
Oh no.. first the face unlock fiasco and now this..
Worst security ever!

Is that ironic ?
I don't see why face unlock would be a fiasco ... ?
And this may be a bug, but it's not a security issue.
I've tried it, but doesn't happen for me. Running a custom rom though.

You can pull down the notification bar as well...
I don't think anyone could argue that slide-to-unlock is a secure option anyway at all.

I think thats a feature.
Yes, but pulling down the notification bar does not allow you to unlock the phone. The settings button is disabled.
I'm not saying its a problem, just something odd...
The MoDaCo rom removes this feature/issue.

I don't think that slide to unlock is a security option. If you really want to have the phone blocked put a pin code or a slide pattern.
But it's true that maybe this option souldn't be posible. The notificaction bar can be displayed but not presed to enter the phone.
I'm with the autor of the post. This souldn't happen.

Actually, if you have a notification, you can pull down the notification bar and click the notification and it will work just like it would if slide to unlock first.
As stated by someone else, slide to unlock is only for butt dial protection, not security.

Yeh I was just kidding lol.
Sounds like a feature to me. Damn convenient.
This is not an issue. If you want security use pin, pattern, or face unlock. How is just having slide unlock considered security? It isn't.
And before people bemoan face unlock, who the hell is going to have a big picture of you to fool face unlock AND know the phone is yours except people you know. If you need to protect your phone from people you know or are uncomfortable with it, use a pin or pattern.

It does? I'm running MCR and the ADW menu button still shows up..
But like someone said, with slide to unlock does it really matter? It's not very hard to slide to unlock anyways.. now if it was slide to unlock AND it had a password unlock it would be different..
I'm not really concerned with the security side, however I am concerned with the practicality of it. I often accidentally push buttons on my phone when both my hands and phone are in my pocket, and because of this button it often unlocks and I end up ringing someone or sending them a text full of random characters. Quite annoying.
If you click on a notification it goes into the app. I actually find this quite convenient, I can get right into the app without sliding my finger.

If you "exit" (go to the homescreen) said app, then lock the phone the menu button won't pop up.

Not valid with ADW launcher ... or any launcher which still uses the legacy menu button.
Its a feature...and i like it. Quick access to last opened app. Why would this be a problem if you dont set a security code. Its a welcomed feature imo.
So what's that menu button on the bottom right for in the lock screen? When I press it, nothing happens. Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not.
You can't explain that. Really, anyone know?
It's just a weird bug. If you have an app running that has the menu button (not ICS-optimised), and lock the screen, the menu button also appears in the lockscreen as well. I think they already fixed this in the latest OTA though.

if you have an app open that uses a menu, you can access it directly without unlocking the phone if you do not have a pattern unlock.

I don't think so. Whenever it appears and I press it from the lock screen, nothing happens.
do you have a pattern or pin unlock? based on your screenshot id say you do.
That menu shows up using certain launchers, such as ADW.
Hello,
I've been using my new note 2 for two weeks now.. and I like it so much
I also used sgs2 and 3 before.
I'm not new to android.. I flashed roms, know every single setting in the device, rooted my sgs2 and tried lots of apps to customize them.
Regarding my issue, I like to set my device to none screen security because I always manually lock it with a press on the lock screen button after I do whatever I want to do with it, and to unlock I always press Home button to get back to where I was immediately without the need to swipe the lock screen.
The problem is when I lock it and there is an app running and then press the home button the screen goes to home default screen and do not just unlock the screen and keep it there where I was last, this was not the case with my sgs2 or sgs3.
If I press the lock screen button instead it does what I want but I prefer to use home button because its much easier.
Its not a big issue but its annoying sometimes because sometimes I get popup notification windows while the phone is locked (whatsapp for example) and I press the home button to see it and instead of just turning on the screen to see the window it goes back to home screen and the popup is gone, or in cases where I'am writing an email or reading something and meanwhile talking to somebody, if the screen gets locked, If I press the home button everything is gone. So I have to switch tasks to open my activity again.
I don't know if this is a jellybean issue or hardware (homebutton).
I know its not a big deal but I would appreciate if somebody can help get around this

It seems to be a jellybean feature no way around unless a mod comes out...
All jellybean roms in Note I had this feature and i remember seeing this thing on SGS III jellybean too
Just install the S Voice app , "voicetalk_NLI.apk".
In S Voice, set "double click active S Voice" will fix the issue.
This actually worked! Thanks
But the problem is that i use another app (home2) to control home button which makes me able to control what app runs when double clicking home or even use a combination of home with back or menu.
Its a very good app if you want to try it.
This leaves me with trying to deal with my original issue tho or just return to old factory setting

thanks man! used to annoy me so much having to open the app again
edit. There's one slight problem, now it lags a bit to return back to the home screen..
Is there a way to remove the slide unlock feature on touchwiz roms?
There are several applications from the play store that work ... kinda.
The slide unlock goes away, but when the home button is pressed (when screen is off) the device goes to the home screen instead the recent open application.
On most of the aosp roms if you wake the device using the home button the last open application stays in the foreground.

Are you trying to remove a lock screen altogether? Under the lock screen settings, you can set it to "none".
