I use a pattern unlock and my car's bluetooth is a trusted device. When I wake the phone, I have to also swipe to get to the home screen.
How do I get rid of that need to swipe?

I posted this in General, but have not had any responses.
I am currently using the stable CM10 and am wondering if there is a way to separate the screen unlock (simple swipe etc) from the security lock (pin or pattern) features.
I would prefer my screen to turn off after a few minutes or with power button, and then when reactivated require a swipe (puzzle lock etc) to access apps. The idea on this is preventing accidental app activation in a pocket etc, but having quick access to slider short cuts.
However, I would like it to require a secure pin or pattern to access after a longer preset time (some longer time out). The idea here is my phone is found or stolen from me, users can see my info on the home lock screen but cannot access anything else..
Is this possible?
Thank you ,
Don
I have my Screen lock set to "Swipe" (the default) but I feel it's too easy to unlock the phone. As well as swiping where it says "Swipe up or down to unlock", you can also pull down the notifications menu and then go into Settings and press the Back button (which unlocks the phone rather than going back to the lock screen, which is the behaviour I would expect and want). Also, if I swipe across to the camera and press the Back button, this also unlocks the phone (again, I expect it to go back to the lock screen).
However, if I change the Screen lock to Pattern or PIN, the lock screen actually functions as expected and I cannot pull down the notifications menu or leave the lock screen via the camera.
Is there any way of replicating this behaviour with the Screen lock set to "Swipe"? In other words, I want to swipe to unlock, but I don't want to be able to pull down the notifications menu or leave the lockscreen unless I have actually swiped to unlock.
Well I think this is the standard and right behavior for all phones. It was the case with the GS2 too. There's no point in disabling accessing the notifications menu when there aren't any locks. It's only makes sense when you lock your device with pattern or pin.
Unfortunately I don't know any apps or modification that can help.

Hmm, OK - thanks for the information. The point is that it is too easy to accidentally unlock the phone - the lock screen should, well, lock the phone. I guess I could have a pattern or PIN unlock but it should be an option to have the same behaviour with swipe.

widget locker has pretty fine control over that sort of thing, including a disable notification bar toggle. i'm not sure if that actually works, though: i'm using delayed lock as well and that overrides some things.
I have lollipop and latest google services installed.
In Security I see an option to add smart lock as trusted agents
Then in lock screen options I select 'pattern lock' as my default and set smart lock to disable lock screen when I'm at home.
It works almost as I would expect it would work. At home I still see lock screen but the 'swipe' one with some apps at the bottom. When I try to unlock, it still asks me for the pattern code.
So it looks like at home it adds 'swipe' lock screen on my pattern one.
Edit:
Funny thing but I can click on the bottom icons and it unlocks without pattern and launches the app.
Still, if I want to unlock to home screen, I need to enter code/pattern/password
Is this an expected behaviour?
same issue here
Hello every one,

I am having troubles with Trusted places aswell. But, from what I can see in my case, the issue is that it requires the correct location for you to just unlock your phone without entering a code, but fails to aquire your current location. A temporary fix would be an app the fetches your location every time you wake your phone. As far as the bluetooth goes. It sounds like the app is having a conflict with always verifying your connected to the device while using it. Just an idea.
I am using smart lock with a Bluetooth device. On the pixel 5 also running Android 12, the lock screen shows an unlocked icon in place of the fingerprint icon, and only a single swipe is needed to go to the home screen. On the pixel 6 pro, the fingerprint icon is shown instead, and two swipes are needed to go to the home screen.
Anybody also use smart lock and have similar issue?
I use smartlock but it doesn't seem to work well for me. I have enabled trusted places, my Bluetooth devices and onbody detection.
I find myself having to input my pin even when I'm at home most of the time. Sort of can't wait for gravity box to be compatible with A12, as it forces the device to stay unlocked.
Hello, I'm running a Samsung S4 Mini (I9195) with LineageOS 18.1. Smart Lock isn't cutting it for me, I don't use GPS, I only have BT on when listening to music. I want to have the ability to unlock and lock the lock screen at my leisure, to make it stop asking for my PIN until I press-hold the lock icon on the lock screen to make it ask for PIN again.
I used to be able to do that, by setting up a system profile that sets the lock screen to not ask for PIN when it is activated. After having encrypted my phone via the option in the Security settings menu, I can't do this particular thing. Amusingly, I can still remove the PIN from the phone entirely and make the lock screen stop asking for one that way, but that requires going into settings, disabling the PIN, and then setting it up over again when I want it back.
So can I still set whether the lock screen asks for PIN easily somehow? Is the only way to do this to undo the phone's encryption? I could do that easily enough, all partitions have been backed up in recovery just prior to encryption.
