So I set my phone to use a PIN and to lock 10 minutes after timeout; power button does NOT lock instantly.
For whatever reason when I turn the screen off and turn it back on I need to swipe on the screen but not enter a pin.
In every phone I've ever had turning the screen on before the pin is activated would go straight to my home screen, how do I fix this?

You can't. That actually sounds like a pretty terrible idea to me. The point of at least swipe to unlock is to prevent accidental screen touches if your screen turns on in your pocket.

Problem: You get a call, which wakes up the phone. You reach in your holster to grab the phone. Things press on the screen and it launches apps while you are picking up the phone.
Solution: A true lock screen where you need to slide a slider before the touch screen becomes enabled.

The stock HTC lock screen already has the slide to answer feature. If you want a lock screen similar to that, then there is S2U2 that is a very good choice.

At first I was thinking I couldn't use it because the key was already assigned to voice command, and I use that all the time. Then I realized that that's assigned to the Send key, not the End key, and the Long Press End key toggles Airplane mode by default, which I would seldom need. Re-assigning the Long Press End to toggle the lock screen is perfect.
Tap or press Start > Settings > All Settings > Personal (tab) > Buttons > Long Press End Key (tab). Choose Lock device in the radio buttons and tap OK. Press and hold the End key to lock the keys and screen.

Not having a lock screen is not a problem when receiving a call because it automatically pops up the call screen, which has its own lock slider, or I can push the Send button to accept. The problem comes when I get a text or e-mail and it wakes up the phone. When I pull it out of my horizontal belt holster, I have to touch the screen, and since the touch screen is now alive, I launch apps I didn't intend to. With the lock screen, it remains locked until I am ready to check out the text or email message. I don't even need to mess with the slider. Simply removing the stylus causes the lock screen to exit. The lock screen doesn't change the behavior when a call comes because the phone automatically launches the same call screen it always did, and closes the lock screen so I don't have to deal with that when I answer calls, so I can still accept the call quickly. This is perfect!
Thanks TONS!
Is there a way to change the lock button on the right to more of a soft lock.
every time i hit it, i have to enter my pin in again. so it would be nice if the button acted more like the screen timeout.
Any ideas?
You could turn off your lock password?
I can't. The phone has to be connected to our exchange server, which requires a pin at the minimum.
I don't know if you have owned a blackberry, but if you press the lock button it doesn't require your pin to be entered until a set amount of time, but still sleeps the display and doesn't allow input.
There is an app on the market that may do what your looking for - "Password Delay Full". There is also a free version but I don't know what the differences are, I figure it's better to get the paid one to support the devs!
There is a built in lock delay right?

Yes, once your lock is set up go to Settings>Location and Security>Timeout

Yes, with this option you can set delay upto 30 min. for the screen to lock out after it has been turned off.

That doesn't work. It says "Lock screen 'X' minute/s after screen automatically turns off."
That means if you leave your phone there with the screen on, it will lock X minutes after the screen turns off by itself. If you press the lock button, only way to unlock is with passcode. My Sensation didn't do this, hopefully there's an easy option on this phone.

Right, I have the same problem and am looking for a solution. HTC Sense has this working properly, but on Samsung the power key does the full screen off + lock rather than just screen off and let the lock delay lock it.
Very annoying. I'm guessing that a Samsung TW update or a new ROM could fix it.
Hello.
It seems when you activate pin or password lock you loose the lock screen after screen turns itself off. It will lock after set number of minutes. At which point you have to first swipe then enter the code. Witch is dumb because the whole purpise of lock screen is to protect from accidental pressing something not make it inconvenience for user.
So is there a mod that would allow have swipe to unlock activate on screen off or power button and only lock the phone with pin after set number of minutes after that?
Thanks.
P.S.
Preferably stock lock screen. Love the water and ink effects.

You can do this using Tasker.
Hello,
I am having this issue since i have updated my phone to marshmallow.
When i set "screen lock type to fingerprint" and try to unlock my phone with fingerprint i am getting this.
Enter pattern instead of using fingerprint recognition because of security policy
Is there any way around to always use fingerprint.
Thank you.
Do you long press the home button to turn the screen off?
It's Samsung security ..no way around it... It usual happens if.. 1~uturn off screen than turn it back on immediately..2~if your screen been off a while..it's no bug... It's part of Samsung 6.0.1 security
I don't believe that's true. The only time fingerprint asks me for an additional password/pattern is the first time after I reboot and if I turn off the screen by long pressing the home button.

Do you see a lock screen if you leave the phone open and press the power button (to lock the phone) than press it again (turning the screen back on) while making sure not to use a finger you have set up with fingerprint unlock?

i donthave anylock stuffnopin nothing just swip so wheniunfold the phone it goes right into homescreen without seen lockscreenonly when the phone foldedandim unfold it (goesto homescreen)
I don't think you're going to get what you want. It's a very niche desire you have.
Not many people want to have no protection of their device but still want to have to clear a lock screen stay opening their phone.

Because, the assumption is if you pick up your phone while closed you'll either use the lock screen on the outside screen or open the device to use it fully.
If you leave it open and less the power button, you want it to lock. It will then show the lock screen of you press the post button again because that's the default behavior. Show lock screen on current screen.
If you unlock the Fold 3 while it's closed then it won't have lock screen when unfolding. Since device is already been unlocked when it was closed. So to avoid this you have to unfold the device first then unlock that way you will see lock screen.
