[Q] launcher pro disables screen lock?

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.

G2 forgets to lock itself..... HELP!

Hey fellas, to lock my phone I use the pattern lock, but since yesterday every time I lock the phone with power button or sleeps itself after 2 minutes, it doesn't show me the 'draw pattern screen', just the regular 'slide to unlock'.
So, I go and set the pattern up again, and lock it, it shows the 'draw pattern screen' and only shows once, after I lock the phone again, it won't appear anymore.
I'm using CM6.1.1, obviously rooted phone.
Any help or suggestions? Moderators feel free to move this post to cyanogen's thread if needed. Don't know if this might be a problem of CM itself.

Did you enable any of the quick unlock settings in Cyanogenmod settings? I bet my breakfast (which I already ate, sorry) that its because you need to review those CM settings. In User Input or something or other.
Uncheck all of those settings (that enable quick unlock)
(besides those pattern locks are easily hacked -- with the right light and the right amount of grease from your finger anyone can see your "path to unlock" - Im just sayin!)

Sorry man, that quick unlock feature is definetly not checked, it's under "settings/cyanogenmod settings/input settings", quick unlock not checked.
U owe me a pancake lol.
I dont remember getting creative with locking and unlocking settings, the weirdest thing I did was to install a few themes to the phone. Imma try putting everything to default, and start from there.

I've experienced some unlock and lock issues with cm6 aswell. It seemed as if there are settings that conflict with eachother. What happened to me was I changed it to rotory unlock with lock set to immediately engage on screen off. After changing that it wouldn't lock but the screen would turn off. I had to set it to 1 second and then reboot then it would lock just fine.

What surprises me is that it stopped working for some reason, because I've been using cm6.1.1 for a couple of weeks and worked perfectly..

don't remember where the setting is but it sounds like the time-out setting is not proper, the phone does not lock right away if it is sitting on the table and goes to sleep on it's own but you can set it to do that, i had mine set to 30 seconds so that if the screen turned off while i was waiting for something to download or happen i didn't have to unlock with my pin each time. look through the settings (probably security or cm settings) for the proper tweak, i would give better instructions but i'm currently on miui ROM

Yeah, these settings are found under CM Settings->User Interface (down at the bottom). I don't think these will be the cause though, since the OP said he didn't really mess with any of the settings. Also, I don't think the settings would cause the "Slide to Unlock" screen to appear (the phone would simply turn the screen back on to whatever was last on, no pattern unlock, no lock screen).
Have you installed any new widgets or lockscreen apps recently? Out of curiosity, have you tried any of the other lock types just to see if they do the same thing (like PIN or password).

No lock screen.

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.

Can't choose any lock screen HELP!

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

[Q] Note 2 Automatically bypass lock screen

Hey guys, recently (today 1/28) i noticed my galaxy note 2 automatically bypasses the lock screen whenever the screen wakes up (so no ripple effects, and i have no lock or pin or pattern set, so just a swipe would work). So I tried setting up a pattern lock, and similar thing happens. The phone would wake up, go to home screen for a split second, then returns back to the lock screen with the pattern lock.
I was wondering, does anyone know whats wrong with this?
Extra information: I used to have GO launcher on it with their custom lock screen. However, I uninstalled everything already, so that shouldn't be a problem.

it's Go Locker... it's not the best lock screen replacement... you should turn off the go locker lock screen and turn on the stock one. Clear defaults on Go Locker and set it to just Go Launcher and enable the original lockscreen after disabling Go Locker

but I have already cleared w/e data that Go Locker has and then uninstalled it. So i doubt that Go locker is causing my lock screen bypassing problem, unless it was some sort of glitch from when i had it (i used it for 2 days)

I tried rebooting, removing battery, rebooting without SD card. So far nothing works. Odd thing is that, during the early part of reboot when the widgets are not fully loaded yet, this problem don't exist. But when the widgets are fully loaded, this problem returns

I am using stock and for like less than a half of a second that happens. Nothing u can really do with it.

Problem is completely solved now. Apparently, it is the result of a bug/glitch in a chinese music streaming app that I got from Google play. Also, thanks to everyone that replied to this.

I had the same problem, I had the "Lock instantly with power key" unchecked, however the phone still locks it right after I push the power key no matter how long I set the lock time. Then I found out that whenever I have the Kugou Music running, it does that. So as long as you quit the program when not listening music, you are fine.
And there's actually one setting on Kugou Music that override the lock screen.
