Screen Lock

Having an issue getting my security settings to function properly. If I set a security option then choose automatically screen lock and set my time to lock 30 mins after screen goes to sleep, the phone still locks the moment it sleeps requiring me to use my PIN every time its turned off. In lieu of the 30 min. waiting period I would prefer. I'm running Codenamedroid ROM on the Gnex.

Locking 30 mins after screen goes to sleep means that if the screen turns off itself (timed-out) it will not security locked until 30 mins later. If you lock the phone yourself by press the power button it will security lock at once.

Yea, I figured that out afterwards. That's not the way the Thunderbolt worked. Thanks for the reply though.

Screen lock

guys
when i press the right side button to turn off the screen, it also locks it forcing me to key in the PIN even if i need to use the phone after a minute
Any app to help with that? Basically turn off the screen but don't lock the phone?
Thanks
Turn off security in settings, either slide or off is what your looking for

It depends on exactly what you are looking for but you can change the amount of time the screen has to be off before requiring a pin. I believe if you go into security settings you can put the screen off time at 30 min before requiring a pin or any other security for that matter.

If I'm not mistaken, that only affects the time out sleep state. If you manually press the side button to turn the screen off it locks immediately. It'd be nice for this not to happen.
I use widgetsoid. It allows you to toggle the lock screen on and off as you need it.

If you look you have the option 'Power button instantly locks' as well as a sleep lock timeout setting.

True, so I believe if the op didn't want his phone to lock instantly he would have to remove the checkmark on "Power button instantly locks" and then increase the sleep timeout for the pin lock.
I don't have 'Power Button Instantly Locks' ??

Power Button

To turn on my Nexus 7 I have to hold the power button for a few seconds before the unit powers on. I was wondering if this is normal

Do you mean, completely turned off or just waking up ?
For powered down device, you need to hold it for few seconds to turn it on ,however, if you are waking it up from sleep (that is device is turned on and screen has gone into sleep mode), just touching it will turn your nexus back.
I hope this helps
I thought I was the only one to notice this....I feel like I have to push the power button for quite a long time before anything turns on, around 5-6 seconds
yep to turn the device from off (not standby) i also have to hold the button for about 5 seconds before the google logo appears.

It's normal to have to hold the power button on button for a few seconds for the unit to power on from an off state.

Nexus 7 Auto Screen On

Hello, I would like to know what auto screen on (on without pressing the power button) options for the new Nexus 7 2013 with stock. I'm using Auto Screen On on my Nexus 4 but it doesn't quite work well with the tablet. Thank you for sharing.
a few kernels have swipe to wake and double tap to wake functions so you don't need to use the power button.
Or you could get a case which turns the screen on and off when you open/close the case.
Gravity Screen works for me with motion.

After MM the screen sometimes still awake.

Although I set the lockscreen time out fot 1 minute but the screen sometimes still awake and doesn't turned off automatically. Specially after the phone charged.
Did anyone notice that or just me?
It is not just you. . Toggling the phone screen off and on via power button sometimes doesn't work. . I end up waiting for the screen to time out. .
