Hello I am not sure at all what cause this problem but no matter what I do I cannot get my phone to have a lock screen. In fact I can't even to get it to slide in the beginning it just boots into my home screen and if I turn the screen on and off it goes straight back to the homewlscreen without me having to unlock anything. I've gone into the settings and made multiple types of passwords but none of them show up when I turn my screen on then off. I'm running paranoid android and any help would be nice

i'm using the standard rom
since i've installed launcher pro to get rid of motoblur's home, the screen doesn't lock screen anymore
it just turns off backlight, but any hw key awakes it and i find it unlocked
i already checked in settings and screen timeout is 30 and screen lock is enabled
That is not typical. Not sure what other settings to look at, but never known launcher pro to disable the lock screen.

Same here.
i've seen it happening from time to time
it seem that after the phone is on for a couple of days, the screen lock stops from kicking up after screen blank
if i reboot the phone it will work again
it never happened before, when i used the standard motoblur desktop
I've been having the same problem, as of a short while ago.
I notice that it happens when you manually lock (for me by pressing the Galaxy S power button) the phone while you're still in an application.
Every time it happens, I have to go and reenable the pattern lock.
Is there a way to bypass the lockscreen. I would just like to push the power button and be on home screen. ???

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

true no lock
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.

Did you try to set the lockscreen in the settings menu? there is an option there to disable it so maybe it got set somehow?
Come one, come all. I would like for you to divulge the methods behind your lock screen. Do you use pin? pattern? or a simple swipe? Why have you selected this method?
If you do use a more "secure" pattern or pin, what are your settings? This to say, how long before the lock comes on and things of the like.
Throw in any other information you think might be pertinent to this discussion, such as third party locking apps that might be better.
As questions go in Q&A do not check yes this is a question for a POLL.
I have edited your title
Thanks

I recently started using a lock screen. Because I lost my last gs3 and it wasn't locked.. I now use the pattern. I have it set for the screen to go off 30 seconds after no activity.. I also use the app Delayed Lock to have the lock screen delayed for 10 minutes after the screen goes off.. And I have it disabled when it connects to my home wifi..
I also have my info on the lock screen in case I ever lose it again..

Just found the app, wow that is nice. Thanks!

I am running the stock ROM, only rooted.
Sometimes when I try to unlock my phone, it acts as if I'm not even trying to unlock it in the sense that it doesn't even respond when I drag my finger across the screen. The only way to unlock it when this happens is to touch and drag an icon and unlock the screen that way (IE - open an app from the lock screen). I can then re-lock the screen and it will behave the same way again by not unlocking as if I'm not even touching the screen. The only way I have found to solve this where the lock screen reacts normally again is to reboot the phone.
The strange part about this is that in the developer options I enabled the show touches option thinking the digitizer just wasn't responding for some reason, yet I can see that touching the screen IS in fact working because it sees all the touch inputs. It just won't unlock. I can press the back arrow so it highlights the box I'm supposed to unlock inside and it still doesn't work. I just don't get it. It has done this since new as far as I can remember.
Anyone else?

I've got a similar issue, except mine is intermittent. Twice I've had the lock screen freeze on me. The only way to unlock it was to pull down my notification screen, set up a pattern for unlock, and then use that. Then I switched it back to swipe to unlock and it worked fine. I'm watching it carefully. If it starts happening more often, I'm going to request a warranty replacement.
Well, mine is intermittent as well. It doesn't happen every time by any means, just sometimes. As I said, I can pull it out of my pocket every once in a while and it does it. Do you have icons to launch apps from the lock screen? You should try that and see if it unlocks for you like it does for me.
I'm having the same issue. What ROM are you guys on?
This is still occurring and very annoying. I just got a second S4 as a work phone and it has not had this issue yet. As I said, it happened with the stock ROM, but currently I am using THIS rom. Happened again twice today.
Yea that happened to me to but since I rooted it and installed wicked v5 it's never done it again

This has to be an issue with the T-Mobile ROM, I am surprised I haven't seen other posts about it. I wonder if it's because most people have some kind of security on them and I only have the swipe to unlock with no effect? In any case, my work Verizon S4 has yet to do this, whereas my T-Mobile S4 does it at least once every couple of days.
The same thing happens to me as well. I got really frustrated, so instead to swipe to unlock I now have pattern.
