HTC Desire lock screen issue

Hi All
I would like to get your opinion and solution (if exist).
I configured company exchange mail on the HTC Desire, the exchange policy requires password lock which configured to maxim time 30 mins.
The problem is:
1. When i press on the power button to lock the screen, it locks the screen (turning off the screen) , but when i press again on power button to open the screen, it always asking for password (even after 1 minute).
In addition when i am making calls and finish the call by pressing on the "RED" button, it locks the phone again.
The question is:
If there any way i can disable the lock screen with password, or at least lock the screen for 30 mins without asking for password, only if it's idle for 30 mins then ask for password.
I read some stuff around and some suggest lockscreen disabler from andoroid market, for some reason i can not find it in the store.
Thanks for the assistance.

I would like to know this too. I configured my work exchange account then got so fed up with that poxy lock I removed the account after 10 mins!

i think i saw somewhere this, the solution would be installing app called lockpick or something like that. search this forum, about exact same issue, you will find it cheers

I use Autolock for this. Search for it on the Market.

I am using the Autolock too , in order to lock the device after some time. But the strange issue now, that when the phone is locked it asking to draw the patern instead of password as requested before ( Lock Picker is disabled the Exchange password).
The question where i can change the pattern ( Settings -> Security) i have change password only but not the pattern.
Thanks for the assistance.

i need something to disable the screen lock. these only disable the locking code thing!
Any ideas?!

Hi guys , do u know if this app consumes how much battery ??

In addition when i am making calls and finish the call by pressing on the "RED" button, it locks the phone again.

Yep, and that annoys me also without Exchange account enabled (pattern instead of password in this case).

This might help someone. I use Lock Delay because I wanted the screen to go off and place the device in standby after 2 mins but I didn't want the lock to enable on doing so every 2 mins.
With this app, I set the phone to go into standby every 2 mins but the lock/pattern to appear only after 10 mins in idle. It works perfectly.
Secondly, when the screen is off but not locked for those 10 mins, I can bring the screen back on by pressing any key.

[APP] Smart Screen ON

After the success of Smart Screen OFF, I decided to publish another app called Smart Screen ON available in LITE and PRO version too.
Smart screen ON
DESCRIPTION:
Smart screen ON is an innovative app which turns your proximity sensor into a power button. If you have a big phone with no physical button on the front(Galaxy Nexus for example, you can turn on or turn off the phone just tapping or waving your hand (finger) on proximity sensor.
FEATURES:
When you change the settings, remember saving and restarting service using built in app specific button.
There are two mode available, both mode can coexist:
+WAVE MODE:
Wave (move) your hand/finger on proximity sensor, even without touching it.
You can set the amount of waves you want to use to turn on/off screen and the time between each wave.
Do you want to wave your hand quickly or slowly?
+TAP AND SWIPE MODE:
1) Tap proximity sensor using your finger;
2) Wait for the first vibration;
3) Swipe (remove) quickly your finger, before it vibrates for the second time.
You can set the time before the first and the second vibration.
+DISABLE SENSOR
You can also disable sensor after an amount of time you can set in the app panel.
The app will disable the whole service and proximity sensor after X time of inactivity.
+STATISTICS
Statistics include:
A)Smart Screen ONs;
B)Smart Screen OFFs;
C)Total power button saves;
D)The power used by your proximity sensor (which is very very low).
+START ON BOOT
If you check this, the app will start on boot.
+HIDE ICON
If you hide the icon, the app could be instable and could be killed by Android in low memory conditions.
+ENABLE FOR TURNING SCREEN OFF
The app has been created to turn screen off, but I also give you the ability to turn screen off.
+DISABLE WHEN LANDSCAPE
The sensor will stop working when landscape.
+INCOMPATIBILITY
-HTC Desire HD is not compatible with "wave mode" because its proximity sensor doesn't work as it should.
If you want to suggest new features, please contact me on this thread, at [email protected] or use my site www.androidhd.it

Link to lite version is online
Will test this out!
EDIT: I believe there's a bug with Android 4.0.4 for apps that turn off the screen?
It turns back on after turning off for a while, happens in other apps that lock the screen too.

Great app!
I would like to use your app in combination with an app like tasker, llama or locale. Could you make a shortcut to enable or disable your app? Or a locale plugin? This way I could enable/disable your app when certain conditions are met. For example when I am at home it is active and when I am at work it is disabled. I have tried to kill your app automatically with llama, but your app restarts by itself.

Love this idea. Perfect for when I'm in class and want to glance at my phone. Bought the pro version, however it worked about 3 times then stopped. I see it was just updated so I have faith this will be looked at and become more stable. Thanks.

I have updated both LITE and PRO versions. Fixed a couple of little bug (check the changelog). The update will be live within 1 hour or 2.
Friends, if you have any problem please contact me at [email protected] . If you only reply on the Store I can't help you.
If you know how to do it, record a logcat when you have a problem and send the .txt file to my email address.
App is working flawlessly on my Galaxy Nexus AOKP M5.
Note: between 1 on and 1 off you have to wait 2 seconds.

Cool app!
I confirm the bug tho, after screen off Widgetlocker turns the screen back on for a sec(Gnexus AOKP build 35).

Just updated. Tried it about 15 times. Only worked once. I have it on the tap/swipe option. AOKP B35. CDMA GNex.
BTW, I'm not complaining, just providing info. I like the app. I'll be very happy with it once I get it working.

Just use any logcat app (I use rootzbox, catlog is free) start recording. Try to do whatever function you're trying to accomplish, stop recording, it will save a txt file on your SD, navigate to file with file explorer of your choice, share file

Kk, thanx, just sent it.

I just discovered a bug (I'm not sure it's related to my app or to the ROM).
You have to completely disable the lockscreen to get it working.
I'm currently investigating this issue.

Its the same for me running stock 4.0.4 if that helps.

There is a bug that affects Android 4.0.4.
I'm trying to find a workaround for 4.0.4 users.
Version 1.2 uploaded, check it out on the store.
It should work with 4.0.4 users without disabling the screen lock.
To workaround this, I had to kill timeout display timer (you have to turn off phone manually).

Works great now. Thanks.
Edit: I didn't quite understand at first. Its a bummer that the screen stays on indefinitely now, unless manually turned off.

This is the only workaround I found.
For some strange reason what worked for <=4.0.3 doesn't work on 4.0.4 .

Fingerprint App Lock

i had the Galaxy s6 before this and had been using Finger Security. it was working flawlessly. But on One plus 3 i have been having issues with the app.
Whenever i open the an app that is protected. the lock screen comes up telling me to scan my finger. but as soon as i try to touch it with my finger i pushes me back to main menu.
im guessing this is due to the touch home key. i hope there is a work around for this.
So far i have tried using Finger Security and App Lock Cheetah Mobile

App Lock works pretty good so far

use App Lock: Fingerprint Password on playstore. then in the options enables fingerprint

Try Maxlock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2883624

Hi Guys,
This is only best app lock for one plus which locks app with no delay. I have tried each and every app lock available in playstore for one plus 3 but all have same issue. App lock happens with delay and first app screen is shown then fingerprint lock screen appears which is very bad.
Sharing link of the best fingerprint app lock for one plus 3
Search this in playstore - AppLock - Fingerprint - (sorry i m new user so xda not allowing me to post url)

I use Bear lock and works pretty well! ?

Finally which is the best for the OP3?

CM lock didnt work for me, kept taking me back to homescreen after touching finger. bear lock works flawlessly and is amazingly fast as well.

hi,
i'm having a problem with AppLock fingerprint password
Problem : it lock and shows every time a notification comes.
eg. say i am browsing something on chrome and a whatsapp message comes instead of just showing showing the notification on the notification bar, it locks the Screen and shows the fingerprint unlock screen and then when i unlock it, it unlocks and shows the home screen instead of the Chrome browser (it minimizes app every time a whatsapp or other locked app notification).
i have tried Bear applock but its bit slow on locking the apps, the app shows the open screen for a second then lock screen shows, but the messages were visible for a sec.

i also had the same problem...
My suggestion would be to download applock-fingerprint by SpSoft..
The opening time is quick and it wont open fingerprint screen when a notification comes...

This is the best i've used :

and it's free.

Screen Lock Key Pad Auto Show

Hi all,
I've got a really annoying feature on my screen lock where my keypad will auto-show and if I enter my PIN I'll be launched direct into the app at the time. I hate this feature and want to disable it, but I'm not sure which setting controls this. Did I say I absolutely hate this feature and it drives me nuts hence why I'm posting here.

Its not 100% clear what you mean.
Your lock screen activates and when you unlock it via pin you get put back into the app that was running before screen lock activated, when you'd prefer it to go back to the home screen?.
That is normal behaviour. There is no way to change it without causing an even bigger nuisance, which would be to kill all apps upon leaving them, which will make your phone run slow.
I could recommend an app by htc called "boost+" which can kill apps automatically if you apply the background optimizers to "always off" which will attempt to kill apps when you leave them. This is less intrusive than using developer settings to kill all apps. It may work, it may not.

Hi, thanks for replying.
Yeah sorry it is a little difficult to articulate this behavior.
So when I want to go back into my phone from the screen off / sleep state, I hit the power button to turn the screen on and wake the device up. When I do this the screen lock keypad opens and if I enter my pin I'll be taken into an application. Mind you this doesn't happen all the time. It generally happens when I've received a notification e.g. hangouts message, an sms, missed call notification, email and so on. I'm sure this behavior wasn't happening before. I can't remember if I changed a setting, or there's been an update to the lock screen from HTC. Either way I want to turn this feature off, I don't want the phone controlling me, I want to control the phone.

Question App lock prevents Phone app to wake on call

Hey folks,
I have this strange issue that I don't know how to solve, or how to even report to Xiaomi.
I'm using App Lock to lock few applications because of my daughter. I don't want her to mess around things she is not allowed to touch when I give her the phone.
Of course, first thing I locked is Phone and Contacts app, to prevent unplanned calls. I'm using Always On display, and whenever someone calls me, screen doesn't wake up or change at all! Phone just vibrates and rings (if it's not in the silent mode), but there is no absolutely any indication on the screen that there is an incoming call. Same thing happens even when Always On is disabled.
At first I thought this is bug inside EMUI, and that it will get fixed. 1 year passed since I have the phone, and it still isn't fixed. I tried googling and enabling all permissions on phone app to allow drawing above other apps and all those permissions, but it didn't help.
Today I tried to remove Phone app from the App Lock, and it started working. All this time issue was caused by the App Lock.
I didn't find any settings for the App Lock that will somehow loosen up the permissions, so I'm clueless at this point.
Does anyone have any idea how can I solve this, while still having Phone app locked up?
Thanks!

I don't have a fix for that issue, but instead of using Phone @ App Lock, you could Pin an App (Not sure if MIUI has this tho) and the person would have to unlock the screen to enter other apps,
or try Google's Parental Control feature perhaps...

EMUI doesn't support pinning, at least I didn't find it.
I solved it by installing another app lock application (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hideitpro.app.protect) which I use to lock only Phone app. It properly locks the access, but shows the incoming calls. Thanks for help!
