Missing Windows Mobile wilder?
I don't think so in Android. There are apps that will allow you to delay the lock but I don't know about disabling or redirecting it. Let's see if you get any other suggestions.
I've used no lock on my photon with no issues-https://play.google.com/store/search?q=no+lock
if you are on ICS, just go to security and set lock screen to "none" if your still on GB im not sure

If you really want to get rid of the lock screen on the epic touch then go into the dialer and enter *#7594#
It will prompt you to uncheck a box. That box is so that when you long press the power button it powers off. It will also disable the lock screen. I always wished my og epic had this so I seemed it out when I got the epic touch.
I hope this helps someone.
This app does it for me most of the time. It occasionally still gives the lock screen, but rarely. The lock screen shows up on boot, and I've seen it after a phone call once.
All you need to do is go to location and securty, lockscreen, none this works on Gingerbreadand ICS no need for any apps.

I think you misunderstand. Marking none in the settings just gets rid of pin or whatever type of lock screen you have chosen. We want there to be no lock screen. No version of Android does that in the settings as far as i know. That is ehy the app no lock exists.

Does anyone know how to disable the vanilla slide to unlock screen but keep something like the pattern lock on??? I've tried no lock from the market, but my pattern lock wouldn't come on. It's kind of retarted to have to slide to unlock the screen and enter a pattern lock. Thanks for any help.
btw, I'm running Calkulin's v.1.1 ROM.
Thought I'd try one more time to get it to the top? Anyone? Thanks.

I got the zip, flashed it and how I have the older slide left/right lock, still I have to do that before I get my pattern. Ugh this is a pita lol. I just want the single pattern lock when I turn my screen off.

the PIN and PWD option presents the user with the SlideLock...then the SecurityLock then the desktop.
the ZigZag option presents the user with the PatternLock then desktop.
I'm not running CM6....are those settings found in that rom? Is there no other way to just get the patter lock and no vanilla lock???

I know you can use switchpro to disable the lock screen but I've never tried it in conjunction with the pattern lock so I don't know of it would do what you're looking for but it's worth a shot.
I use switchpro, I'll give it a go and post back.
*edit- Yep! It does exactly what you're looking for So use switchpro to disable the lock screen and when you hit the power button to wake the phone up it goes directly to the pattern lock

Is your lock screen the Sprint slide-down lock or the standard/vanilla lock? I ask because, with Switch Pro, it either unlocks both, or enables both (with the Sprint HTC slide-down lock).
Thanks.
didn't worked on Xperia x10 =(
Just wanted to add that disabling the lock screen with switch pro is awesome. I can't believe I never found that before.
Also, if you want to have ur volume buttons wake ur phone, try widget locker. Enable widget locker, then enable any hardware button wake, then use switch pro to disable screen lock then disable widget locker. Bam, volume key wake w/o lock screen, pure awesomeness.
Hey... I think this thing makes phone calls too!
Hi,
Is there a way to deactivate the fade out when pressing the lock key?
I want the display to be off immediately.
Thanks!
Try the app in the market called No Lock by BoD..? :/ see if you like it..
Sent from my HTC Vision
if your phone is running cynogen mod you should go and uncheck screen animations.
neither No Lock nor the deactivation of the animations doesn't work for me.
I'm running on CM7 and want the display to be off without fading to black when I press the lock key.
Thanks for reply.
so far,

If you turn the screen-off animation ON, and then go into Spare Parts and change window animations to OFF, screen off will be instant.
Don't ask me why, but it works.
Thanks. Works Fine. Can be closed

Yes, this works but it should be noted that it still causes the usual wake issues when overclocking
The fading is like that, you can't turn that off.. if there's no screen on/off animation.. you will have that little fade. But with no lock, it should be directly to homescreen without unlocking, kinda something you seem to want.. it doesn't have any effects..

Hey guys...
Just wanted to post this little find. I haven't seen it posted before, so I apologise if I missed that thread...
Try this...
Open an application with the settings button in the bottom corner.
Switch off screen
Switch on screen
Do you have the settings button in the same corner? Press it... screen unlocks
Shortcut or flaw?

The online kitchen over at MoDaCo has an option to disable 'menu key unlock'. I'm assuming this is referring to this issue (if it is an issue) but I may be wrong.

That is actually a feature. Quite useful if you don't have a pattern/pin/face lock setup.

Can someone explain what the purpose of the settings button is in this context? Is it just another way to unlock the screen? Why does it only appear in the given scenario?
Also, why do the back and home buttons appear when you drag down the notifications bar?
They do not appear to be functional, but can be pressed. I suppose the back button makes sense, as it dismisses the notification panel, but the home button does not appear to be functional.
I opened facebook, the menu button was there. I turned off screen, then turned it back on. the menu button was there on my lock screen but when I pushed it, nothing happened. phone did not unlock. I use pattern unlock.

More than likely, the menu button being on the lock screen is just a glitch that really shouldn't be there. The good news is that if you have a lock other than the slide lock (Pattern, Password, Pin, Face) the the menu button on screen does nothing.
It's already been reported to google as a bug. It only happens if you have an insecure lock method (swipe, or none).
Is there a way to remove the stock lockscreen?
Here is what I have currently:
Rooted with UnNamed Rom, using No Lock app. I also have WidgetLock just in case.
What happens:
Phone will randomly go to the Stock Touch Wiz Lockscreen during any application (NetFlix, Pandora, texting). It is pretty annoying, and sometimes the phone will pull up the dialer when I didn't even press anything.
I thought I could simply remove it on Titanium Backup but I cannot find what the actual name of the TW lockscreen is named.
Any suggestions?

Well the thing is tho, I'm pretty sure if you disable the lock screen you keep your phone from sleeping. That's actually an option you can choose from inside widget locker, its called wake lock. But if your phone isn't gonna sleep, the battery will drain continuously. Plus, any button will turn the screen on. But then again, im not 100% sure.... just mostly sure

Does anyone else have some knowledge on this?
If what hijewpositive says is true, that really stinks to have such a big design flaw on this phone like that.
If you go to your keypad and put in *#7594# Check box to enable and press home button. It will disable the lock screen. If you want to use the lock screen again repeat and uncheck box. Hope this is what you are looking for.

Hmm, I've been getting the phone dialer pop up on UnNamed ROM also but only when I unlock the screen. Always thought I might of hit the phone dialer by accident, but this has occurred multiple times on UnNamed, but absolutely zero times before. Wonder if there's a bug?
Also, I use Go SMS which has a pop-up feature which prevents the lockscreen when an SMS comes through; phone still goes to sleep and no battery drain (tested it by leaving the popup on for half a day and using betterbatterystats, battery monitor, and cpu spy)
I use 'no lock' app. Never had a problem with it.
My phone takes like 1 second to wake up. I know it doesn't sound like much, but I got used to the instantaneous wake ups with my old SGS3 and I thought this phone would be snapier.
Anyone else?

I have both phones and the Note 2 wins 90% of the time and my S3 has a custom rom and kernel so it's pretty beefed up so I think some of us got decent one's..? As you said though... Definitely NOT the processor!
Go to S Voice settings, then disable Open Via Home Key.
That should disable the wake up lag

Think that tip is for the "home button lag" fix...?
yeah when you first get your phone and you press home it doesnt go directly to home, it waits a second or two for the second click to activate s-voice but if you disable it (s voice < google search) it will go directly to home

I've noticed my phone doing the same thing. If it's a couple minutes in between turning the screen on it takes a second. My phone also seems to struggle with some simple transition animations, now.

No this fixes a separate issue. This fixes the home button lag when using it to go from an app to the home screen.
What the OP is talking about is the delay that you get when trying to wake up the phone, whether it be with the home button or the side button. This seems like a software issue that hopefully Tmobile/Samsung address.

That's weird because I don't experience this issue. There is no lag when I wake up my phone.
However, my phone is the international version so most likely the issue is related to Tmobile bloatware.
Try to disable Svoice home button first. If you still experience this issue, then you should wait for update

It is not the "SVoice solution related problem". It is a "power/home button to turn on" issue which is totally different.
Every T-Mobile Note 2 has it (I tested it on several of them at the T-Mobile store).

Nice, although i turned back on ripple effect. And the thing I noticed is that if you just turn off and on the screen it takes a while longer. However, if you just turn off the screen, wait a few seconds, then turn it back on, it's much faster.
