First of all this is minor Bug, but still - BUG!There is phone configuration description:Phone: Xperia X10iFW: android 2.1patterns - default slider + unlock patternBug description1) when phone is locled, press home or power button.2) move slider, to be able to draw pattern.3) start to draw pattern and wait till screen oes black (do not remove your finger). So your pattern is not finished and screen has gone black. Try to remember place of the finger.4) press home or power button again.5) finish unlock pattern from place you was, when screen turned black.6) your phone is unlocked!!!So, if you did not finished your pattern and your screen have gone black you might think, that the phone locked, but this is not true.

PLEASE HELP. is there any other ways i could restart it? i've read other comments saying that something comes up asking for gmail account information but i haven't come across anything like that.
I'm having a problem with my phone security. I unfortunately forgot the required pattern to unlock my phone and now it's isn't recognising my answer to the security code question. Is there any means to restart the phone or get access to phone menu again ??
My daughter (whose BB this is) downloaded a smiley pattern unlock from BB App World and entered a password but the app will not now recognise the password and so the handset is effectively locked! Is there a way to get round this such as restoring factory settings?
dkotoric has realised this is due to using the double tap to sleep function on some launchers. Locking your device with that prevents the fingerprint scanner from allowing access for some reason. So today was my first full day with the 6P. It's a truly great device. A whole bunch of times though when I've come to unlock the device I've had to put in my pattern because it won't accept the fingerprint scanner.
The icon at the bottom of the lock screen that should be a fingerprint is just a lock symbol. If I then lock the phone again and reunlock it works as expected. Not sure if this is a software bug or some setting I've got wrong. Can't see a pattern for when it does it though. I've switched 'require pattern on restart' off which has made no difference.
I had BB storm 9500 and i was not using it for sometime as I switched to another model.Now again I want to use my old storm where i use a secret pattern to lock the screen but unfortunately i forgot the pattern. How can i recover the secret pattern or reset the phone setting so that i can start using my BB storm.
I use a pattern lock and the security lock timeout is set for 30 minutes. I have the screen timeout set to 30 seconds. I have disabled the power button to immediately lock the phone. Every time I open my phone I still have to take the extra step to slide to unlock even though the phone is technically not locked. This is just an extra annoying step. Is there any way to skip the slide to unlock step?
So I just got the Lollipop update this morning and I setup a pattern lock instead of my fingerprint, was working just fine. I was doing some things around the house with using Google Music All Access to listen to music, went to switch music and I cannot get into my phone, doesn't even register that I'm trying to put in a pattern.
This is not good, can't even get in my phone to call anyone. Nothing is recognizing my touch.
I just got a new HTC desire phone and as I learned how to use it I put a lock on, which I have now forgotten! I used the draw pattern to unlock, I am not registered on google yet, is there anyway to unlock the phone?
I forgot my unlock pattern and I don't have my device in ADM ... But the bootloader is unlocked, so I think I can install any image I want, right? Could this be a way to get into my device? So any solution to unlock my device without doing a hard reset?
I have Nexus 5 with Marshmallow 6.0, I forgot the screen pattern and now i can not access it even with my gmail account. I dont want to loose any of my data.
I just switched from a Motorola Droid to a Droid X2. However, the lock screen is giving me issues. If I turn on pattern lock, it still leaves the slide lock activated. On the old Droid, it turned OFF the scroll lock when pattern lock was activated. How can I disable the scroll lock while pattern lock is activated? It's rather annoying having two lock screens...
Has anyone else had the pattern unlock delayed upon opening. I've been having it where i can swype to the right, unlock it and the pattern lock isn't there, but when i start to do something, it realizes that the pattern lock didn't work and it will re-lock?
After my last thread which pointed out I was just simply lookin in the wrong place I bet there is a pretty easy solution for this too, I just can't seem to find it.Currently when unlocking my phone, I have to do the slide to unlock, and then input my pattern to unlock. I want my phone so that when I only have to do the pattern.The security options on the phone allow for "None", "Pattern", "Password", and "Pin". It says nothing of the slide to unlock feature and I can not figure out how to turn the thing off.
how can i open my phone without answering the security question in the security patern? my little child set it without remembering the answer of the security question
I use sony xperia z2 and i forgot my pattern and i cant unlock it i tried to rest it from my pc but to do it i have to unlock the screen so iwant to rest the phone
I have what seems to be a resonably common problem with my phone being locked out after too may pattern recognition attempts (My son's playfull fingers methinks).
I have consulted the forums including this one and it seems clear that the Log on fix for the google account using null as the password may work for some but hasn't for me.
I have tried to do a repair on the phone, but using pc companion i cannot get this too work, i cannot get into pc companion normally because the software is asking me to put the phone into Usb connect mode which i can't because i am locked out the phone.
method (that works) to get me phone to being useable again? perhaps i am doing the repair method wrong ( holding the back ket then connecting the usb cable does nothing)

I've a problem with phone number pattern. Normally, In my xperia ray there is three main phone number pattern:pattern 1: phone number onlattern 2: + area code phone numberPattern 3: + phone numberthe problem is, my phone do not auto recognize these pattern as one phone number. So if one contact I saved +84 12345, and I call 12345 in my country (+84 - vietnam), my phone do not display the contact.This also causes problems in merging contact from multi sources (Facebook - phone contact - mail contact etc...)
