Oct 2, 2012

I have my phone set to fingerprint unlock but it says to swipe to unlock. Only after I restart it it asks for my fingerprint. I want it to stay fingerprint to unlock.
Is there a way of that being my default method for unlocking my phone, as I currently have a Device lock kick in after 5 minutes idle, then I have to flick the switch and type in the 5 digit key. I'd much rather just do the swipe. How can I set this as the default option to greet me when I flick the switch to wake up?I have the device lock on as quite often the screen becomes active on it's own, and messes up my widgets etc.
First off when I take my phone out of lock or wake up it from sleeping the icons are missing till i wipe my finger across the screen.. its weird to explain but its kinda like i have to swipe the whole screen for the icons to be visable the same thing happens when my phone goes to sleep and the keyboard is open.. any ideas?
and another thing is sometimes ill be writting a msg and my phone will make 3 beeping prompting type of noise any idea what this is?
Lg g3 screen is acting up the screen will not unlock it like doesnt recognize i am swipimg my finger across it. This means i can not acess into my phone.
Was using the phone. Put phone down as I did not need to use it. Returned to use the phone and 5S will not swipe to unlock. Tried to shut it off and and first it would not do that as well. Tried again and kept my finger on the power button and the phone reset.  Why will the 5S not swipe to unlock?
how to remove the awful offensive-looking 'nokia green' swipe to unlock facility following my firmware upgrade?
I have only just purchased the phone this week, and chose it mainly on looks - I just use a mobile for texting and calls, so I go for a basic phone with good looks.
Because of some initial problems with the software I was advised to update the firmware, but on no account did I ask for this horrible green swipe thing! I just want my inoffensive little grey unlock button back!
Is there an option in my phone somewhere to change back, or do I have to reverse the upgrade or something?I just want it back looking how it looked when I tried it before buying, as that's why I bought it
When my new z3 is locked, I frequently have trouble swiping to unlock the phone. When I try to swipe, I get the nice psychedelic particle trail showing the swipe, but often the phone does not unlock. It can take 3 or 4 attempts to get the darn thing to unlock. It is bad enough that I worry that the phone will simply not unlock no matter how many attempts. Very very irritating. I write firmware for a living. This is a serious bug.
I have been using fingerprint unlock on my s6 with no problems since I got it. Starting today it forces me to swipe up first then I can unlock with my fingerprint.
the screen won't swipe to unlock. How to fix? Can I hard reset? I bought this 5C used from Swappa about 2 months ago. was advertised as "New Screen" - and the screen did look new. Worked great, everything was fine till a few days ago. Now the screen will not rregister the swipe to unlock. I have rebooted the phone by holding the top power button and home button. Phone boots ok, shows messages on lock screen, alarms go off, seems normal, except, the swipe will not swipe. it acts like you are not touching it. Also, about the same time the swipe stopped working , the screen started showing vertical banding..My thought are maybe one of two issues -
1 my son downloaded a bad app, and it locked the phone up. factory wipe should fix this. But itunes won't let me restore the phone unless I turn off "Find my Iphone", which requires I unlock the phone... dead end.Â
2 - I am also think, because of the banding, the "new" screen may be bad. Sound plausible? Â
he does not have a lot of stuff loaded on the phone, so I would like to try a reset before paying $175 for a new screen - that would not fix it if the issue is software.How can I reset the phone?
I have the Galaxy s6. I have the fingerprint screen unlock enabled. But the majority of the time I have to swipe and THEN fingerprint unlock or just swipe to completely unlock it. Which isn't very secure. How can I get rid of the swipe to open feature competely, I want only my fingerprint to be able to unlock it.
I use the iPhone 5s with iOS 7.1.2. When I unlock the phone with my finger print, there is an animation where the icons move from the edges towards the center of the screen. After this animation is done, I have to wait approximately an entire second before I can swipe left/right on the touch screen in order to get to the apps on the other screens. Simple 'quick' tasks such as checking on emails will take far longer.
I was "playing" with my phone and first tried the fingerprint, which i had trouble getting in after that. Then i tried the 4 digit code. I went back in to change it back to swipe but it is no longer an option. It says it is turned off by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage. Not sure what I did, but I need getting swipe back. Should have been working instead of playing anyhow...
I setup mailForExchange, and it recommended me to lock my phone. I remember the lock code.But after an hour the phone locked automatically. Now I want to use the phone, but there's no way it asks me to enter lock code. It just displays a "lock" on the screen and that's it. There's no button...nothing, no option through which I can enter my lock code.The phone doesn't restart either. I don't have the screw driver to take the battery out.
After doing recent updates, the normal swipe-to-unlock feature of my Bionic stopped working. When I press the power button, I'm taken right to the home screen; I don't have to unlock. Even if I use Settings -> Location & Security and add a PIN or pattern lock, these do not work; each time I turn the phone back on, I go right back to the home. Sometimes the swipe screen flashes up but then disappears. The "Security lock timer" setting does not matter (i.e. it is set to 1 minute, but even after that, the phone is never locked. Occurs even after a hard reboot (shutdown, remove battery, power back up), although sometimes the swipe to unlock works for a short time. I've never rooted this phone or done much else beside install some apps from the Android Market. I do have Lookout running.
I realize I'm careless for letting my battery die so often, but I have trouble unlocking my phone if I:let the battery die and the phone shut itself offplug the usb charger into my computer and the phoneturn on the phoneI end up being unable to unlock the phone. If I press the power button or menu button, I am prompted with the message "Use keyguard switch to unlock screen and keys" But sliding the keyguard switch has no effect.
Just this afternoon, when I try to do anything on my 5800, it says use keyguard switch to unlock screen and keys. I slide the keyguard switch, it says the same.I also have a snall key icon at the top of the screen.
Unlock screen does not appears on using unlock switch on my nokia 500. I just've to touch at the unlock tab imaginary assuming that it is there. Tried reinstalling Belle but problem continues.
Like always, on previous Symbian phones I have locked my memory cards with passwords and if you were to insert that locked card into another Symbian phone, it would immediately ask you to enter the password. I did so with my old phone (Nokia C7) and now after inserting that locked card in the 808, nothing comes up.. it doesn't ask for a password input. I am now stuck with a 16 gigs locked micro SD card to which I know the password but I can't unlock it! I know for sure that password protected cards will not show up on computers and it doesn't show up on my gf's Android either. I have been to a Nokia care shop and they have tried with other Nokia phones but nothing worked. They suggested using the phone it was locked with but that's not a possibility because it was broken into pieces and sent to Finland
What else can I try to be able to unlock/input my password into this SD card?
I dont think i'm bring Paranoid but I am noticing when I swipe up to unlock my screen, enter my Pin and press Enter.. the phone doesnt unlock. It hangs and i get a blank black screen for a maybe 7 to 8 seconds.
I have to retry the process a few times to get a successful result.
It is noticeable now i have a software Update of 2.1.2. Not the Android Update.
When ever I try to unlock (dragging lock button from left to right) , I am unable to unlock in one go. It is taking multiple attemts to unlock my phone.I also observed that when I get to call, to cancel dragging the icon from right to left this is required multiple attempts.i.e many time dragging icon from right to left.
I don't know whether it is software problem or hardware. I have tried the repair operation also. my xperia neo is uptodate and running 2.3.4 os.I also tried to un install apps but I couldn't find any difference.Also once I unlock, those 5 screens, I can scroll inbetween and can touch home button. But when I long press on the screen to add widget/folder I am unable to do it as soon as I unlock phone. It is taking some time to respond.
As I purchased this phone in UK and using it in India, I am not sure how much service I can get in india from SE.I have bill for the mobile too.in other posts somebody told me to remove yahoo and i did the same but didn't find any difference.in short the touch scence is not responsive during unlock and for a while once get the home screen. I also installed andvance task killer app and killing apps frequently that also not making any help.
I set a screen lock code today and used it several time with no problems. Tonight the unlock screen shows 'Enter Password to Unlock' but when I enter the pin code, it will not unlock.
I have the 8 digit network unlock code for my Atrix2, but when new carrier sim card is inserted it doesn't say sim not provisioned, and doesn't provide text box to enter code.Instead it gives me phone and text service but not mms enternet
I lock my bb my pressing the top left keypad lock button but when I press it again to unlock it it won't unlock!! The only way to unlock is to take the battery out and put it back in! It only started doin this yesterday.
