guys
when i press the right side button to turn off the screen, it also locks it forcing me to key in the PIN even if i need to use the phone after a minute
Any app to help with that? Basically turn off the screen but don't lock the phone?
Thanks
Turn off security in settings, either slide or off is what your looking for

It depends on exactly what you are looking for but you can change the amount of time the screen has to be off before requiring a pin. I believe if you go into security settings you can put the screen off time at 30 min before requiring a pin or any other security for that matter.

If I'm not mistaken, that only affects the time out sleep state. If you manually press the side button to turn the screen off it locks immediately. It'd be nice for this not to happen.
I use widgetsoid. It allows you to toggle the lock screen on and off as you need it.

If you look you have the option 'Power button instantly locks' as well as a sleep lock timeout setting.

True, so I believe if the op didn't want his phone to lock instantly he would have to remove the checkmark on "Power button instantly locks" and then increase the sleep timeout for the pin lock.
I don't have 'Power Button Instantly Locks' ??

Is there a way to change the lock button on the right to more of a soft lock.
every time i hit it, i have to enter my pin in again. so it would be nice if the button acted more like the screen timeout.
Any ideas?
You could turn off your lock password?
I can't. The phone has to be connected to our exchange server, which requires a pin at the minimum.
I don't know if you have owned a blackberry, but if you press the lock button it doesn't require your pin to be entered until a set amount of time, but still sleeps the display and doesn't allow input.
There is an app on the market that may do what your looking for - "Password Delay Full". There is also a free version but I don't know what the differences are, I figure it's better to get the paid one to support the devs!
There is a built in lock delay right?

Yes, once your lock is set up go to Settings>Location and Security>Timeout

Yes, with this option you can set delay upto 30 min. for the screen to lock out after it has been turned off.

That doesn't work. It says "Lock screen 'X' minute/s after screen automatically turns off."
That means if you leave your phone there with the screen on, it will lock X minutes after the screen turns off by itself. If you press the lock button, only way to unlock is with passcode. My Sensation didn't do this, hopefully there's an easy option on this phone.

Right, I have the same problem and am looking for a solution. HTC Sense has this working properly, but on Samsung the power key does the full screen off + lock rather than just screen off and let the lock delay lock it.
Very annoying. I'm guessing that a Samsung TW update or a new ROM could fix it.
Having an issue getting my security settings to function properly. If I set a security option then choose automatically screen lock and set my time to lock 30 mins after screen goes to sleep, the phone still locks the moment it sleeps requiring me to use my PIN every time its turned off. In lieu of the 30 min. waiting period I would prefer. I'm running Codenamedroid ROM on the Gnex.

Locking 30 mins after screen goes to sleep means that if the screen turns off itself (timed-out) it will not security locked until 30 mins later. If you lock the phone yourself by press the power button it will security lock at once.

Yea, I figured that out afterwards. That's not the way the Thunderbolt worked. Thanks for the reply though.

Hi,
My fingers mistakenly hits the power button constantly and it turns off the phone.
Is there a way to change the settings for the power button? For example change it to a long click or a double click to turn off phone?
Thanks

lol I had the same problem for the first week, got used to it.
My power button is very sensitive also. Sometimes while walking with my phone in my jacket pocket the power button gets bumped and my phone gets turned on. I use the pattern lock feature so I don't have to worry about "pocket dialing" but I still don't like the idea.. I have my screen time set for ten minutes. I don't want my screen on for no reason at all.. I wish they made the power button less sensitive.
I got the Body Glove case from the Sprint store and this has helped hide the power button from me hitting it.

If I get what you trying to say here, you can try button saviour(root), there is a screen off and other onscreen buttons features(back/home/menu/vol etc) that's quite handy too.
If thats an app bro sorry not the one im looking for..
Im looking for something to edit in the phone to make the screen off by pressing a custom button, e.i pressing the home twice and the screen is off. Press once and the screen is on.
The power button is too far, i mean my finger needs to jump there just to turn off the screen. If u get me bro..

umm i don't think there is a mod for such a particular and specific personal perference
There are tap to execute and similar app that make use of the Proximity sensor of the phone to wake up phone without having to press the power button.
Personally I only tried softpower.
Description
Turn screen OFF and turn screen ON without touch power button.
SoftPower will safe your physical power button by use Search button or notification to turn screen OFF(and lock) and use proximity sensor changing to turn screen ON.
Note:
-Proximity sensor on device is required for Turn ON function to work.
-To uninstall, do this first. Settings-> Locations & Security(or Security in ICS)-> Device Administrators then uncheck SoftPower.

ive been looking for this too, since ALL SCREEN OFF APPS dont make your phone go into deep sleep resulting into battery drain, only the physical power button can make you phone into deep sleep and auto idle i think, im looking for a shorcut not widget or app to mimic the physical power button so i can set it into gesture and alike to make my phone go into deep sleep
try cm10 fxp150, u can easily lock your screen from notification bar
If you install cm10 I'd recommend enabling the navigation bar and setting the back button long press to make your phone sleep. It's wonderful to use!

how you did that can you teach step by step?
Hi All,
Every once in a while when I lock the phone, (press the power button to turn off the screen) the screen will go dim but not turn off. I can press the power button and it will go to the pattern unlock screen. Then when I press the power button it will switch between normal lock screen and dim lock screen. When it's dim, it has no function. When it's normal, I can unlock it and everything is fine, till I lock it again. Then it will be dim and not shut off completely.
The only way to get it to shut down after that point is to reboot.
I am rooted with CWM and have UVBMD1 in it at the moment.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Sounds like an app is causing a wakelock or something. Id uninstall any recent apps and see it it does it again.

Good thought, I'll give it a shot. I have loaded a few things in the last few days.
Thanks.
