Before Oreo OS 8.0 was released, I could have sworn one of the features samsung released was when typing the 4 digit lock screen pin. You would no longer have to press the enter button, after the 4th digit was pressed it would auto unlock the phone.
What's the deal with not releasing this feature. Seems common since to me. I've never owned an iPhone, but dont they have this feature. Along with any app that requires a 4 digit pin?
I use a 5 digit PIN and it auto unlocks when I type the 5th digit
Not sure how long the PIN has to be, you sure it's minimum is 4 digits?

I just changed my pin to 4 digits and confirmed that it does unlock without pressing the enter button. Are you sure you have the option on the pin setup screen checked "Confirm PIN without Tapping OK"?

Don't use an unlock code, they've caused a lot of problems.
Instead, if you root your phone and then use this guide you can get SIM unlock for free - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855764
Hello, I just bought the HTC desire Z and have put the draw pattern lock code on, and have forgotten the pattern. I have had it just 4 days so any lost data is not a big deal. I have tryed the volume down power button hardset way. but it always just sarts the phone and brings me back to the draw pattern lock. If anybody has had to hard reset their phone, any ifno would help. Otherwise my phone is going away for 4-6 weeks.

what happens when you goto forgot pattern?
I can't get into anything. The phone starts up and then you can slide down on the screen then the 9 dots come up for the draw pattern. thats all i co do
try to enter your pattern 5 times, when the "wait 30 seconds" prompt comes up hit "ok", then there will be a "forgot pattern" button in the lower left
Hello.
It seems when you activate pin or password lock you loose the lock screen after screen turns itself off. It will lock after set number of minutes. At which point you have to first swipe then enter the code. Witch is dumb because the whole purpise of lock screen is to protect from accidental pressing something not make it inconvenience for user.
So is there a mod that would allow have swipe to unlock activate on screen off or power button and only lock the phone with pin after set number of minutes after that?
Thanks.
P.S.
Preferably stock lock screen. Love the water and ink effects.

You can do this using Tasker.
HELP!!!
This is a really weird problem with my non-rooted D850 on an MVNO (H20 Wireless). I have had the phone for several months and other that a battery issue, I'm super happy with it.
I had been using the knock code to lock the phone and my home as a safe place. Never had a problem with the knock code.
Two nights ago, in an attempt to appease a suspicious wife, I decided to change it to a pattern so she can get in, then I got a pair and decided to change it back to the old knock code. I then noticed that the knock, and swipe where grayed out and so did the research and cleared the credentials to bring the knock code option back. Now the knock code does not match and I can't change it to anything else.
When I reboot the phone the knock code request comes up. I start to do the knock code and it turns off the screen at the second "knock". I double tap toward the top of the screen to avoid the knock code area, the screen turns on and it's asking for the knock code, wich doesn't match, but I start the one I knew again and it turns the screen off again and the 2nd knock. After five times the phone asks for the back up pin and I'm in, and the phone immediately asks to change the lock screen. I change the screen lock it to a pattern as the knock and swipe are grayed out again.
I receive confirmation of the lock screen has been changed, but NOPE!!! NOT CHANGED!!!
It's still asking for the knock code, that doesn't match, at reboot, or when I try to change the lock screen. To add insult to injury the phone won't lock, even if I leave it sit for an hour (time out is 2 min and I'm not at my safe place)
Any thoughts other than a factory reset?
Not having any luck with research. I would love someone's input.
Beuller? Beuller? Beuller?
Now I find that I can't reset my phone b/c of the knock code that doesn't match
Factory Reset
You could try powering off the phone, holding the volume down and power button. When the LG logo appears, quickly release the power and volume button and after that hold them again, you will see a white screen with an option to reset the phone. Don´t know if this works with the knock-code, let me know!

I ended up doing a factory reset a couple weeks ago. I couldn't find ANY support information about this. The phone had the knock code locked in, and since it "magically" changed (or fat-fingered when trying to change originally) it rejected the only knock code I ever used. The LG volume/power reset is difficult for me (as are screenshots) to perform as I have fairly large hands and the buttons are right next to eachother.
Either-way, i ended up resetting the phone and now only use a PIN or pattern to lock it. Pitty many apps seem to not like the knock code as a secure locking method.
Hi,
Can anyone confirm if they have the same issue. I have set up the lock with either code or finger print, but i have notice that i can sometimes get into the device without either.
Tap power button - slide screen up (to access code screen) - Hit Emergency - when emergency dial screen shows, hit the back button.
this has worked on my device a number of times, but i'm wondering if its a common fault, so something specific to settings i have.

possibly it's not a bug, i think your fingerprint was verified after pressing the power button.
you can wake the phone by double clicking the screen and don't touch the power button, if you can still unlock the phone without inputting code then it may be a bug

thought that with the finger print myself, so i used a finger that wasn't linked to it. Double tapping the screen didn't work. Again, it was still happening intermitantly.

I don't think it's a bug as my z5 is connected to my Microsoft band 2 via Bluetooth and after I paired it with my phone I was given an option to add the Microsoft band 2 as authorised device or something.. I did not bother to read the rest and chose OK, so now when ever I am wearing my Microsoft band 2 my z5 do not ask for password or finger print. I also thought that when I power up my z5 with power button it unlocked automatically with my finger print so I woke my z5 with double tap on the screen and slide up the lock screen and it did not ask for any password...

Any setting I'm missing to disable pin lockscreen check mark/enter button so that the phone automatically unlocks when I press the last number correctly in my pin? Every other phone I've owned had the option. Thanks Attaching a screenshot of the option too
Thanks a lot
