Sorry if this has already been answered elsewhere... but is there a way to automatically turn on and unlock the lock screen when unfolding the keyboard from the genuine Samsung keyboard?
The keyboard has a button integrated which automatically gets pressed/released when opening/closing it. When closing the keyboard, the screen turns off and gets locked. No luck when opening it though...

Hi,
I am new to my XDA Orbit and am liking it very much. One annoyance (which is probably due to my ignorance) is that when I receive a text or an alarm goes off, my Orbit the device turns on / comes out of powersave mode and hence the screen is active whilst it is in my pocket (could be dangerous).
Is this the correct behaviour? Surely not, as input can be made from contact with your pocket? Is there a setting to change this behaviour? What does everyone else do?
Thanks in advance for any advice
Gary
Dosn't the XDA version have the screen lock like the mda?
It's a little padlock icon at the bottom of the today screen which says device unlocked, you tap it and the screen is locked from in pocket pressing, all buttons are locked too except the power button. when the device is switched on manually or by an event the screen is only active after using a 2 tap pattern, unlikely to happen by accident.
I must admit, I thought this was part of WM5 and not T-Mobile specific, strange it's not there on the xda.
It is possible to lock the screen before you turn the orbit off but it is a bit of a pain in the arse to have to remember to do that every time you turn off the device.
I was hoping for a program that would allow alarms and text message notifications without the screen becoming active.....
True, or you could re-train yourself to only do the screen lock and have the device auto-off in 3 mins or so, and it would be exactly the same.
Personally I find the screen wake up useful.
I can't say I've tried, but what happens if you go to Start - settings- Sounds & Notifications - Notifications
and go through all the text message received etc and untick "Display message on screen"??

this battery status plug-in works on mda compact iii and it has a setting to lock the device on wake up so all you need to do is switch it off to lock it.

So it does!! I didn't notice. This is an excelent piece of software to have anyway, so this is just a double bonus, unless you are unhappy with the 2 screen taps required to de-activate the lock.
Hitting the lock icon requires the stylus whereas the power button does not - much easier and intuitive.
Will have a look into the alerts settings
Thanks for your help
Can't say I've had any difficulty hitting the lock (and definately not the unlock buttons) with my thumb, one handed, but see above for auto locking option, you 100% don't need to get the stylus to unlock.

Hi...this is my first post, except the presentation...
I have a problem with these two apps on my brand new galaxy s2.
The problem is: if I am using the phone and something arrives, the screen turns black and appears the notification of noled.
Foe example: I'm chatting with google talk, a message arrives and then the screen turns black with notification of noled...
It's a bit annoying
Are there any settings to change to solve this problem?!?
Thanks...
Anyone?
I have the same problem with NoLed, been trying all kinds of solutions but yet to get it to work.
If my screen is turned off and I get a message I can't wake the phone with the power button cause that causes black screen.
Have to use homescreen button, annoying.
in widget locker go to settings>advanced and disable "retain system keyguard". should help.
Hey guys, Im looking for a way to make the phone not wake up when the keyboard is open. I am very fidgety, and open and close the keyboard in my pocket, then I find numerous apps open and/or placing unintended calls. What can I do to make the device not wake up when I slide out the keyboard?
The only way I've found is to turn on a pin or pattern lock in the security settings.
Yeah that's the only thing I have found too. I wish I could just disable it completely though. Not to mention battery drain when the screen is turned on. Plus, I like to be able to access my device quickly, and passwords or pattern locks don't exactly help that out haha.
New GSIII user (just got it for Black Friday). 2 questions relating to the lock screen.
1. I read another post sort of related to this, but not really (almost the opposite in fact, he wanted the pattern or pin lock but had other issues). So, I have my lock screen set to unlock with only the swipe. Why are none of the advanced lock screen options available unless you choose a more stringent unlock option (like pattern or PIN)? Even with just plain swipe, I want a delayed lock after the screen shuts off, and and I want to st DISABLE the instant lock with the power button. Is there any way to do this without having to set a more stringent unlock method? And if not, what possible reason would the designers have for now allowing those other options without using a higher unlock method?
2. Not sure if this due to the lock screen, or a bug with Bluetooth, or a combination of both. I actually tried playing with a pattern unlock screen, but when I have that enabled I can't do Bluetooth voice dialing. I press the Bluetooth headset offhook button, and the phone wakes up, but then it just sits at the pattern unlock screeen and won't respond to voice until I unlock the pattern. But if I revert to just a plain swipe unlock, then the Bluetooth voice dialing works just fine (I press the headset button, phone wakes up AND listens for voice). Bluetooth voice dialing is a CRITICAL function for me.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
I got hold of a Samsung tech via live chat on their web site and he confirmed that this is how it it works. I suggested these were poor design decisions and asked they pass along my request to ask that these be changed in a future update (of course, no gurantee that there will even be a future update, but I can hope).
Hi all,
Is there a way to stop the lock screen from turning ON after a missed call. I'm not talking about the message on the lock screen but the lock screen itself. I just want the missed call to end and the lock screen not to come on at all. Is this possible?
I do want the lock screen to behave normally otherwise.
BTW - S4 Mini is rooted.
TIA
Greg

I never use a lock screen but if I did I would probably use Tasker to get rid of the lock screen when the 'phone' becomes idle. You would probably need the Secure Settings plugin to do it. Probably
