[Q] Starburst Rom lockscreen issue.

I've recently bought the 4g touch and installed the starburst rom and I've found that if I have any kind of security setup (pin, password) that none of the lockscreens seem to be enabled. As soon as I wake the phone up it throws me straight into the pin/password screen. Has anyone else ran into this type of issue before and have a fix? Any help would be appreciated because I'm at a loss for solution and even google isn't helping me unfortunately.

I am not sure if this is how it is supposed to function or not, but I can confirm that this is the same behavior I experience. If you select "None", then the pin lock doesn't even come up. I have to select sgs2 and it will then show my lock screen... but yeah, if you select anything else with a lock setup it does not show that lockmod. -Grand

this is the expected behavior. otherwise you'd have to unlock the phone twice everytime once for the pin then once for the normal lockscreen.
i've never used a pin on any of my phones is the dual unlock normal/what you were expecting ?

My previous two phones, HTC Hero and Evo 4g both had the lockscreen show up, swipe to unlock, and the pass/pin screen show up. I suppose I figured that was default behavior for most phones. To me it makes the most sense to me to have the lockscreen, swipe to unlock, then show pin/pass screen since it would allow flexibility of music controls/phone/sound without having to log into the phone and provide some basic security.

[Q] disable lock screen

hey everyone. I have a question. I searched but didn't see what I was looking for in this phone forum. I got the N2 on Friday, came from the epic touch. I was running Easy Profiles on the e4gt and wanted to use it again on the N2. Well, I am still am for sound changes. But one of the main reasons I use EP is to disable the lock screen when I was at home and enable it when I was not at home. I know jellybean broke EPs capability for this. So... my question is... what else can I use? I don't mind using a widget but the auto changer with EP was awesome! (and once they fix it, I'll go back to that primarily I'm sure) I've tried no lock and no lock screen. neither disable the lock screen. I've tried all 3 apps with my systems settings as slide to lock, lock with pattern and no lock. it's just not doing what I want it to and I'm at a loss. if I set the system lock to any type of lock, no lock and no screen lock wouldn't keep it unlocked when it was engaged. if I changed the system settings to no lock, the 2 apps wouldn't lock it. easy profiles has 2 different options with the lock screen and I've tried multiple variations with that too. does anyone have any suggestions? ideas? apps to try? I am currently downloading a few ROMs to try out but I'm thinking it's a jellybean issue and not a stock rom issue.

I was in the exact same boat and loved EasyProfiles.
I started using Tasker yesterday and checked out: http://tasker.wikidot.com/profile-index
I still at noob at it but managed to disable the pattern keyguard.
Now I think it is a JB limitation but Tasker ability to disable kerguard stops once you chose something in the Notification bar.
Check it out, what they say about it true. Tasker is awesome and I'm only now learning how great it is- like automating talking SMS when in the car. EasyProfiles couldn't do that.

thanks. I'll look into it again. I downloaded it last night but uninstalled because I didn't see what I was looking for and didn't have the brain capacity to figure it out!

Try this for starters:
Profile "Unlock wifi" - State -> Net -> wifi connected
Task "Unlock"- Display -> Keyguard -> off
I used that to work yesterday and will play/learn more today.
Like I said though, accessing the notifications makes it lock again so I toggle the wifi off/on to make Tasker disable keyguard again.

I installed secure settings from the market, disabled everything but pattern lock in it. then went back to easy profiles, set locale app as secure settings and so far it's working.

[Q] Wifi staying on when screen turns off.

HI forumers
can you suggest any help?
When I have my device screen turned off, my wifi stays connected. So in the middle of the night, emails will sting "ping" out a sound.
I have selected in the settings to turn off Wifi when in sleep, and when i close my case cover, but it just doesnt.. Any ideas?
Thanks

Yeah that doesnt work for me either. I would try setting a wifi timer in wifi, adavanced settings and pick a time where you want wifi to be on during certain times of the day. Hope this helps!

Really?! not just me then? I was wondering if maybe a downloaded app is making this error happen.
Can anyone confirm that it does work for them?

Guys, Have you tried to untick "always autorized localisation search" in the advanced parameter of the wifi ?
Hope it could help.

Good idea, but I've just tried this and it didnt fix the problem..
Anyone else?
Or maybe someone knows an app that can do this?

[Q] Why can't I disable my lock screen?

I have a Galaxy Note 4 on AT&T that I purchased about a week ago. Everything worked great up until today. I have been successfully using the fingerprint lock to keep my phone locked while I'm at work. Tonight, I unlocked it and went to disable the fingerprint lock, but now the "swipe" and "none" options are greyed out and disabled with "Turned off by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage" and won't allow me to disable it. I have not been tinkering with anything and have no idea how any of that stuff could have been enabled since the phone was just sitting in my desk at work.
So, how do I get that turned off so that I can disable my lock screen when I am at home or away from work?
Thanks!

it seems like you may have enabled other security features like.. encryption which does not allow you to turn off the lock screen.. try disabling these extra protection s

And how would I do that? I'm not seeing anything enabled on my phone. I may be missing something. And again, nothing had been changed from the previous week's use. I enabled the fingerprint lock on it, put the phone in my desk, and left it there. Once I got it back out, I was no longer able to disable the lock. I can unlock the phone, I just can't turn the lock off. Hopefully I'm just missing a setting somewhere and it will be easy to fix.

SOLVED
Well, I somehow managed to figure out the solution. It apparently had something to do with the credential storage. I found the settings for that and had my phone clear the credential storage. After that, I powered my phone off and back on and it started working normally.
Now, the next question. How did some app set credentials to where my screen unlock couldn't be turned off?

Face Unlock Issue

Hi has anyone encountered the issue of the device unlocking by itself when a notification comes in and you are not looking at/face is not aligned with the camera for face unlock?
I have turn screen on when notification arrives enabled. And this has been happening even on magic ui 2.

Do you have SmartLock enabled? This will bypass the lock screen if a trusted Bluetooth device is within range.

Nope! I don't have it enable. This issue happens every now and then, not always, but often enough to annoy me

My SmartLock does not work every time, sometimes my trusted device is connected and still the phone isn't unlocked. Maybe it's the same bug?

go into settings-biometrics & password-face recognition- unlock device and change to slide to unlock
