[Q] Problem with Screen Lock Asus ZenFone 2 - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
Hope anyone can help me.
Just bought a Asus Zenfone 2 and decided to change the screen lock.
Therefore choose to go for pattern option and then decided to go back to the swipe.
Unfortunately option swipe is not longer available it says "Disabled by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage".
Appreciate any help, thanks,

Looks like your problem comes from the device protection which you had to enable to change from slide, not having enabled it I can only assume you have to go through your Google account to change back to no device protection.

I am pretty sure this is why can't go back to slide lock

First all appreciate your help but don't want to reset the hardware this would make me install everything from beginning. I might leave the way it is at moment.
Thanks

Solved - How to check sensor

I just got my HOX. Just switched from my iPhone 4 since owning iPhones since day one. Loving the HOX so far.
I do have a question on how to check my sensor. I can not seem to get programs to change to landscape. Is there something I need to turn on. I checked stating and auto rotate screen is checked.
Any thoughts.
I just rooted the phone but no mods. So running stock.
Goto Dialer, and dial *#*#3424#*#*.
"HTC Function Test" should pop up. Select "Accept", and there is a menu of tests. Select G-Sensor test and run it.

If you cannot pass the test, you may calibrate your censors by going to Settings-Display&Gestures-G-Sensor Calibration.
Place the phone on a level surface and click "Calibrate".

Thank you very much. It failed and a calibration fixed it. Thank you again

Knock code enabling / disabling with Tasker

I'm sure the answer is going to be stupidly obvious, but I cannot for the life of me get Tasker to disable the lockscreen (knock code) via a task.
The end goal is simply for me to enable the knock code when I am not connected to my HOME Wi-Fi, and disable it when I am connected to it at home. I've set it up similar to other phones I've used but I simply can't get it to function on the G4 (ever owned LG before so it could be a specific way to do it with them and knock codes).
Tasker is set as a phone administrator. Can anyone either show what profiles/scripts they have that DO work, or walk me through the process?
I've done it on the g3, but it requires root. Haven't looked at my g4, because I use the built in smart lock to do it with my Moto 360 now. Smart lock won't do by WiFi, but it will do by location. The on body detection for smart lock works pretty well also.
Yeah I am rooted on the Verizon version. Meaning to flash xposed haven't got around to it yet, but I know there are some modules that would do what I want. I'd just like to figure it out with Tasker if I can. Do you by chance have your G3 xml/layout still?
Here is the post I made. Haven't tested, but the values it's looking for are still present so I think it would work.

Also, that sqlite I recommend doesn't work. I copied the binary from titanium backup to get it just now to see the values
Ah that's too bad. That was something I had yet to try. Thanks for responding though.

I copied the sqlite binary from titanium, into /system/xbin as well.
any ideas?

I only know of an ancient app which will work once its setup correctly... TASKER
---------- Post added at 05:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:23 PM ----------
There may also be a xposssed module to get this job done but TASKER will certainly get get the job done.
The extreme power saver option on stock ROMs will do this too. Though it is a small hassle to get in & out of this mode it is good for battery and data saving.
Automateit works great and is easy to set up
Automateit doesn't seem to be able to do this. Might be because it's not rooted. Might be user error. :')

I have the same question/problem... hoping someone has an answer. It appears that it has been disabled by sammy.
Use the double drop down to show the gear icon. Then long press the gear icon. Once it converts to a gear icon with a wrench on it, SystemUI shows up on settings.

Having trouble with this. If by "double drop-down" you mean two-finger swipe down, that brings down the full notification panel (toggle switches) panel... there is no gear icon on it.
If I swipe down with a single finger, there is a gear icon above the list of notifications, but it does not change to a wrench no matter how long I hold it.
help?
That is how I did it originally on Marshmallow. I am on N Preview now, and it is still the double swipe drop-down.
Let me get the link I used on matchmaker and post here.

I think you are trying to use the brightness icon, not the gear box.

I am sure I am not using the brightness icon. I am pressing the gear icon at the upper right of the screen (next to the one that looks like a grid).
Actually, I read the article you referenced before you posted it -- and several others. This is why I posted this here... that gear icon just doesn't do anything for me. I have read that some vendors have chosen not to use the System Tuner UI... and came to think that maybe Sprint or Samsung ditched it.
I see you are posting from a Nexus 6. Have you gotten it on a Samsung TouchWiz device?
Let me try really quickly.

Just tried it on a VZW S6. That device is on 5.1.1, and no updates are available. Sorry.

okay... thanks for the try.
I asked about the System UI Tuner in another thread and have not found a way to access it. Given that some of the things System UI Tuner offers were already in TouchWiz, I wonder if Samsung just left it out. If true, this would be unfortunate because I don't know of any other way to control which icons appear in the Notification bar.
why are you posting in a note 4 section about your nexus?
can we ban members from showing up on our accounts when we come to the forum so we have less clutter like this?

jonika21 i found a solution.
i downloaded px5 8.0 hct3 update 20170108
just put the update.zip file in your usb flash and update the system.
Try to go to Settings->Apps->Touch Assistive, then click on Clear Data. That fixed it for me. You may have to click the 3-dot menu at the top right and tell it to "Show System Apps".
