I recently switched from iphone to android. I'm cool with the slider and the code but doing it every time I want to use the phone has become somewhat tedious.
On my iphone i had the option where I was prompted for the code after 4 hours of inactivity. I don't see that option on my arc. Is there a way i can make it happen or at the very least remove the slider lock screen so i don't have to slide and unlock everey single time?
I have an Xperia arc. Unlocked, rooted.
Thanx
No ideas?
Damn, I really hope there's a solution to that crap soon....
Cheers!

What code do you mean, you only have to slide unless you changed the settings
In that case, loosely translated :
- settings
- location and security
- Change screen lock
- set to none
- done
you can not change the time it just askes you everytime when enabled,however you can use screen patern this is faster then enterng a code you have to slide in a certain patern of your own choise to unlock
Thanx 87 I already use the pattern lock. I just hate doing it every single time.

Euuhhh im from an iPhone too and had to do it every time, just like the Arc.... What you are probably talking about ( trying to guess here ) is the time out period of the screen , 30 minutes is the max

Well Actually on the iphone you had the option to prompt for code everytime but also after set amounts of time like half hour, hour, 4 hours, 12 and 24 hours. I chose 4 hours so basically i entered the code every morning when I woke up. I guess you missed that option.

Then what's the point ? Isn't the code a security function ? Not quite following the logic here.....
problem solved
Problem solved I got the new sgs2. It goes directly to the lock pattern screen without a slider screen.

sgs2 = Samsung Galaxy S2 or is this an app or setting to disable Slide Lock on your Arc?

WOW, so your solution cost more or less 400 bucks...
Clever!
very expensive solution.ahaha. you can always download a lockscreen replacement app.like widget locker,go locker etc.
BTW i came from SGS2
searched but couldn't find it so hopefully someone can help.....
i always have my phone right next to me but have my phone set up with a pattern unlock security for those moments that i leave it somewhere in a hurry and not worry about someone being able to get into my stuff but since 95% its right next to me i hate having to do the pattern unlock even though i can do the pattern fast i prefer not have too... so is there an app or shortcut so i can have my phone without a lock but for those quick moments that i need it locked i can activate it with just pressing that app instead of having to go into settings and manually setting it up again then remove it?
Not sure if there is an app specifically for that. Best I can think of is you might be able to set a condition using a app like tasker or impel. Basically, "if I press this button then enable this" I'm not sure how well or if this would even work but its worth a look I suppose.

I have been using no lock from the market.. It works great to flip your lock screen on or off. Works great on GB.. Flaky on ICS

I don't know of any particular app that does that but I just set my security settings to automatically lock with a delay. I generally leave it at about one or two minutes.

I am using NO LOCK right now on ICS and yea it's not perfect but I can keep the PIN CODE lockscreen and then use the app to disable it when I want.

Tried this and so far working great just what i was looking for. Hopefully someone can figure out a way for the phone to do it without having to install a third party app, but for now NO LOCK is working great. Thanks.

I did this but ill use it for a quick minute or less then it will shut off then at the time i turn the screen back on its locked and i have to unlock it and what i wanted was when suddenly i have to put my phone down and i want it to be locked with a push of a button without having to go into settings and setting it up . thanks either way as well.
Tasker will do anything you can possibly think of. Including this.

No Lock No Work But...
No Lock didn't work but a different app from the store call No Lock Screen works like a charm (for the exact problem you described).
hey @Ma$etas , do you found another app or way to solve your problem ?
Same as you, I need on demand lock screen, I lock when I want. I didn't want to unlock using pattern or pin every time I use my phone.
But, I need to lock it sometimes. If I left my phone on desk, when I'm sleeping and any other condition

No, i never did . I remember i tried a few apps but they all had one or other issue.
I gave up on looking for one and just manually set it up .

Anyone else having this same issue where your unlock screen shifts so that not all the number pad is visible to unlock the phone? I keep having this happen to me.
I'm completely stock

Time to root!
Whoa. I never even knew you could get the number pad to show up on the lock screen. I have had my lock screen sift before. It happened once about 2 weeks ago. I just reset the phone and it hasn't happened since. Is this something that keeps happening to you?
Unfortunately this happens quite often and requires me to reboot the phone to unlock it.
I had this issue once with the pattern lock as well. Shifted up and right leaving only the lower left exposed and had to reboot.

This has never happened to me on the lock screen personally, but my girl had this happen to her phone randomly one day at work and afterwards she found out her IMEI code on the phone had been blocked, had to send it back in for a replacement.
It's possible if you lose your data connection under certain conditions this may happen. I'm assuming this might also occur if the screen turns on while trying to change it's orientation as this has happened to me in certain programs which required a reboot to fix (this occurred while reading during the 5 second period between the screen shutting off automatically and the screen locking therefore the screen had not yet locked before it was turned back on).
Yes, have had it happen to be as well. Am rooted. Reboot seems to be the only solution.

Happened to me once too, and I'm stock, just a glitch
I am using a Nexus 7 tablet paired with my Moto 360.
I can tell the watch "Navigate to 123 Any Street" and it starts working. But, the card on the watch sticks at calculating route. This happens only when the Nexus 7 screen is locked.
When the Nexus 7 screen is unlocked the whole process works, and the watch completes and starts giving turn by turn directions.
I'm confused why Navigation cannot start when the Nexus 7 screen is locked?

Do you have a lockscreen password and/or a customer ROM?

I'm guessing that's the issue. After the Navigate command my phone turns on, bypasses lockscreen, and opens Maps. I don't have a password enabled.
Try without a password and verify it works automatically.
They wouldn't want someone to bypass your phone's security just by a voice command.
After setting up my smart lock I have noticed it not working sometimes. When this happens if I go into security and smart lock after I put in my pin I just have a blank white screen where the smart lock menu should be. But here is the weird thing. I have tried restarting several times and it does not help. But sometimes it just shows back up on its own and starts working again. Then after a while it's gone again. This is driving me crazy! Anyone got a suggestion?
Thanks,

From what I have read it's a Google services problem people have been having recently. Mine started happening last night but was working fine since I had the phone.

I've been seeing the same thing for the past month or so. Sometimes there Smart Lock menu is blank, sometimes some options are there & other options are missing. I'm hoping that Google gets this straightened out.

Does your smart lock also stop working when the menu isn't there ?
Seems to. I notice it mostly in the car. I have set my Bluetooth FM transmitter as trusted device. So when I get into the car, the transmitter connects turning on Android Auto and I'm greeted with the Android Auto home page. When Smart Lock acts up, I have to touch the finger scanner to unlock phone to see Android Auto home page.

At the moment, half of my Smart Lock options are missing. I'm missing location and devices, the two options I use most.

Just rebooted the phone because phone was not reliably staying connected to WiFi despite strong wifi signal. Rebooted phone, wifi reconnected with no issue. However, all options for Smart Lock have disappeared again.

Is anyone in here rooted? I noticed it disappeared only after I had rooted.
Nope. No root here. Simply stock. Only had the phone a few weeks. I don't see a need to root.
It's interesting to see this possibly effect rooted / non rooted phones alike. Definitely a bug on Google's side.
Googling this indicates it's a bug that goes back about a year. I never saw it with my Z Play, only the Force 2. But I believe Z Play is 7.0. The Force 2 is 7.1.1.
How long has 7.1.1 been out?

Don't know how long this will last. But I found out if you go under security> Trust agents and turn off "Smart Lock (Google)" and "Smart Lock (Moto)" Reboot and then go turn them back on everything comes back.

Looking into it on Google groups that seems like the temp fix for a lot of users. Google is supposedly aware of the issue and is working on a fix. It has something to do with their servers. I had this problem with my S8, and Nexus 5X. Not having this problem with my Note 8 and Z2.
