Hi, guys.
First I'll answer... Searched and searched again... Couldn't find neither thread or post...
Problem is: probably getting older or just learning Samsung, since always been on HTC,,,
Question: How to get rid of security lock on the start up screen?
Set it up when tried to set VPN network, it' one of pre-requirements for VPN, now can't get it off.
Any advise? Really appreciate!!!

I dont believe the above will work under the situation described.... for security reasons, the phone demands a security lock screen if you do things like add a cert...
I am currious s well if you can somehow diabable that with root but on stock roms.
thanks!

Hi I love the new "slide" lock screen. I love sliding the round "thingy" to unlock the screen or to get to the camera. I used to use the locker widget on my sgs2 but I want to stick to stock android as much as possible and getting rid of all those "addons" is a joy ;-) now the only thing that bothers me is that I can't lock my lock screen with the "slide" lock screen and put a pin in case I loose my galaxy nexus...(I know that sound cheesy) Can someone give me a hint? I do not want to use an extra plugin for this simple feature to work...
Cheers,
Silentbob
Options, security, use PIN unlock code.

Yes that's exactly what I would like... is it possible?

If you use an app like WidgetLocker you can set it up so that widget locker is your main lockscreen and you can make it look exactly like the stock lockscreen. Then if you enable pin unlock you can make it request for a pin after you unlock with widgetlocker

I'm confused here. Blur did this on my DX and it drove me crazy because no functionality from the slide lock screen other than vibrate adjustment. Does the OP want to have the slide lock on top so that it's possible to use the slide lock features on ICS? I would imagine with that a pin lock below, those features would still require pin lock entry. Perhaps I'm confused with the work flow that the OP wants.

Yup, this works perfectly.
Its dumb to have to slide to unlock only to get to the code screen.

Thank u for the time you have taken to write this help full comment.
Hi to all and thanks for your feedback. I think there is some need to better explain the reason I would like to use the swipe to unlock feature and at the same time have a pin lock.
I need a quick way to access to my camera app from the lock screen. I take a ton of images this way and I love the feature of the iPhone where you can take images from the lock screen very quickly but u need a pin to enter to the springboard. I hoped that this would be possible with stock android. As I asked in my first post I don't want to install the Lockscreenwidget. It has way to many options and some times it does not work. So now I hope that my intent is better understandable.
Thank you very much

I figured that's what you meant. Yeah, it would be a nice feature if you snap a photo or adjust the volume without entering the homescreen. Alas, to my knowledge, that functionality doesn't exist with a PIN. It's the app market for you my friend, and maybe Seekdroid in case you lose your phone and want to wipe it (assuming you are paranoid about security).

hello there people
i have a 3rd party locker and im on Atomic GB 7 (same problem on 8), EVEN IF i go to settings>location and security and set the security thingy to NONE ! still when i lock the phone and then on unlock i still get the systme slide to unlock ! THEN after sliding it i get my 3rd part lock app ! please help im pretty frustrated... even tried uninstalling lock screen.apk NO USE !
thanks,

First of all, making your text red and big doesn't make it any better. Actually, it makes actually more difficult to read, because people are used to the regular sized text here.
My recommendation would be to check over the 3rd party lock screen app settings. Which app is it?

yeah i want to bother you when you read... anyway does it really matter ? im using Espier locker :silly: and checked the settings of it..all seems fine but when i lock the phone and relock i get the system lock first
yeah i get this issue to,when i'm using holo locker.I'm using Gin2jellybean.
EDIT:
In Holo Locker there is an option to use it as default but when you lock and fast click home button there is stock again,but if you lock and then after 5 sec it's ok and you can't have Sim lock activated,'cause when you restart your phone you have to put your pin code right away or you'll get no service holo locker doesn't support pin code "window" if you get me.
And yeah when i reboot my phone i get stock lockscreen then holo locker...

Not a bug that's what's Samsung decided to implement in the latest update

i think that was there before too..
The whole point of a pattern or pin lock is too prevent the lock screen from opening unless correct input is provided. Whereas lockscreen widgtes take u directly inside..
If they were enabled with pattern/pin lock the whole idea of security would be defeated as anyone copuld open your phone just by swiping them. Its a logical enhancement and not a bug.
sometimes I want to see the widget without unlocking my phone. And how I want to unlock my phone is my choice, whether password or pattern or none. But I should be able to see my widget.

i widget is kind of a short cut. If you swipe it across it opens up the correspoding app and also unlocks the phone simultaneously. This cant be done in case of pateern/pin lock,

yeah i know there was a way. But on a non rooted stock device its not possible. And dont blame samsung. Its a development that will be done time i guess; similarly how it was done before :good:
Its a pain to swipe down from the top to see all notifications on the such a big phone. Is there a way to swipe down from anywhere on the home screen to see all notifications? Just like in samsung phones?

Thanks. But is there any way to do this with an app or in 20x's settings?

As far as I know, no such option in stock launcher's settings or general settings.
I find it most convenient to just swipe down on the finger print sensor.

Oh wow you can do that? But when I had the phone I wasnt able to do that. Do you have to enable a feature for it?

It's under the Fingerprint ID section in Biometrics and passwords. Huawei gives you a lot of options with the sensor, you can select which ones you want to turn on.
I know it's less secure, but I still want faster face recognition but it seems to be missing in the settings. I'm on Android 13 and One UI 5.
