Can anyone help with this.
I have updated the rom on my mda vario, but subsequent to doing this I cannot disable the password. I go to Start > Settings > Lock and then once i have put the pin in can see the password settings, but they are greyed out and as a result i cannot disable the pin/password so my device keeps locking after a time of no use. Any help, please????
I set up the encryption with a lock screen password, so now Ihave to put in a password every time I unlock the screen.
I don't want a password anymore. So I go into the security options and it still acts as though the device doesn't have a password. All the options are grayed out except the one for setting up a password, the same as it did the first time I set up the password.
Is there a fix for this?
Remove encryption. If you have Xposed, there are a couple modules that work for it.
When I want to set up a screen lock, 3 options are unavailable (Swipe, None, and Knock code) due to an unknown reason.
It says: "Disabled by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage"
I'm quite worried because I've tried literally everything and I still have this issue (I have an LG G4 H815, running stock android 5.1 L. Hope you can help)
Settings -> Security -> Clear credentials
Hello everyone, I'm a newbie to the OnePlus world.
So my question is: how can I disable the password that is required before android is launched on my OnePlus 3 ?
I've searched accross xda but I found nothing, sorry if this has already been answered.
In the beginning I found it very useful, but once I removed Google Keyboard, I was not able to enter that password.
I want to use a modded google keyboard (with number row), and on the xda thread, the dev ask to remove the defaut Google Keyboard.
Regards.
Go into Settings > Security & fingerprint > Screen lock and remove it (choose None).
Once the device is set to none, go back into Settings >Security & fingerprint > Screen lock and choose PIN. It will ask you here if you want secure boot (enter a PIN to start device) or not use it. Just choose the latter.
EDIT: If you have fingerprint set up, you will lose it during this process
Another option is to just switch between password, pin or pattern. You still get the option of not to set on boot, but this prevents the fingerprints to get deleted as they do when switching to swipe or none.
Thanks guys the problem is now solved, I've selected PIN with NONE as option for boot.
I can't do anything else because would like to remove the google keyboard.
To do so you will need to wipe your /data but its possible through twrp for excample. Simply after hard reset chose not to require password after boot
I'm confused as to why Google Keyboard is required for entering a password. Can't you just set your other keyboard to be the default?
If anyone can help that would be awesome - this is the first time i have encountered this problem on an android device.
one of the first things i do is remove encryption on my android phones because
1. i like the option
and 2. i notice a considerable amount of difference.
now starting from Pie we have metadata encryption with file encryption
removing metadata encryption causes 0 problems.
however when i remove file encryption i run into a problem
i am un-able to setup a fingerprint (the option isnt even there anymore)
also when i set up a PIN, i am unable to change it (it says incorrect pin)
when i use the pin to unlock the phone, it says "wrong pin" but it works in unlocking the phone.
i didnt experience this on my oneplus 5/6 or samsung / huawei devices having them decrypted.
does anyone know how we can get fingerprint / pin working without encryption?
i notice the phone is more responsive and snappy without encryption
