Security flaw? Lock screen

Noticed that SGN will unlock if certain apps with the 'heritage' style Menu button are open when the screen turns off.
The XDA app is one such example.
Phone can be unlocked by pressing the Menu soft button rather than using the correct Unlock Slider gesture.
I'm not currently using a pattern or face lock, so as a security issue its negligible, but has anyone else noticed a similar 'gap'?

Yes, but this only happens with slide to unlock which isn't exactly security

This had been noted before...
as joshnichols189 noted when the real security is active this doesn't unlock.
The only marginal concern is that it doesn't remain locked and your ass starts dialing
That's a good point.
Any 'true' ICS apps such as Google developed ones don't suffer from this.
Presume its a hangover for 2.x app compatability?
Back to a proper lock screen then...

[Q] Emergency!!!!

Sarted from last night, I don't even need to unlock my phone and then just go straight into the main page. I was using the swipe unlock, and then I changed into pattern. When I hit the unlock button, there was a flash coming on the screen and then is the same thing.
Reboot? Try another security thing to see if it worka, then change back? Never heard of something like this.. for tenporary security use an app to lock individual apps.

Location Based Lock Screen Style

Is there a way to change lock screen styles based on location? (Maybe through something like Tasker?)
My 1 year old daughter has learned how to unlock my phone with the swipe lock screen, so I have changed it to facial recognition, which has adequately secured it from her.
However, when I'm not at home, I would prefer the ease of the swipe unlock.
Is this possible?

I couldn't find definitely that it will allow you to change unlock method based on location (everything else is listed and it's hinted at several places) but you might give SmartShift Lockscreen a try. You can find it here on Google Play.

Thanks for checking. That appears to be a lock screen replacement.
Ideally, I'd like to use the stock lock screen and just update the settings.

In that case I would check out Secure Settings App which is available through Google and has a thread here at XDA.

Thanks for the suggestion!
Couldn't figure out the facial recognition. However, I figured out how to toggle between requiring a pin and not, which should suffice for keeping my phone protected from a toddler accessing it.

[Q] 4.3 sux?

When I go landscape on my lock page it shows home and lock screens. Trying to poke in my code to unlock the screen fails to detect pokes 2 out of 3 times. Simply not working well and more complicated than the previous build. Anyone else having issues?
When u was on 4.3, it was quite smooth. Didn't have this problem.

[Q] Lock screen Notifications

Has anyone figured out how to get notifications on the lock screen? I'm trying to find a solution that works with the fingerprint scanner.
I know about nils (not a big fan) and wondering if there are any other options.
