I cant change my screen lock setting (either to swipe, pattern or finger print), currently it is in pin setting. It shows disabled by administrator, encryption policy, or credential storage.
I upgraded the firmware on my N97 to 2.1 the other day and have had no problems since. This evening, after a reboot (no new software installed), it won't allow me to enter my 5 digit lock code. The keys are unresponsive. I've tried removing the battery etc..., but it's still the same. I want to avoid a hard reset if possible, as there is some info that is not backed up.
I updated my phone to lollipop 5.0, it is in general good till now, but i have two problems:
1) no notifications are displayed on my lock screen even for missed calls or sms's .. there is no any icon or symbol that informs me if i have missed any call or received a message ; and i have to unlock my phone every time to check
in the Settings -> Sounds and Notifications -> i selected the option to show all the notifications.. but nothing changed
2) also on the lock screen , not widget for the walkman or the sound cloud to enable me to pause the players or to navigate to the next song
I've lost the 4 digit user selected security lock code which is required to reset the phone.Virgin says Samsung should help recover the code and Samsung says Virgin should help recover the code.A while back, I found a code on the web that allowed me to go into a service menu which listed among other things the lock code. I can't find any information on how to get back into that menu.
By the way, yes, I tried the last 4 digits of the phone number, 0000, 9999, 1234.If anyone knows how to get into the service menu on this phone
The only codes I've found so far are:##786# which gets into an info menu but doesn't have the lock code.##33284# which requires a 6-digit security code which I don't know.

I'm using Bold 9000 and after installing the new OS5.0, I realized my key lock function is missing and I can only lock my phone after password enabled.I tried downgrading back to 4.6 and re-installing 5.0 but still the function is missing. Any help to this matter?I really hate setting my phone to password enable.
We have 3 Ray phones in our family. I have upgraded my to ICS, but the other two still have the original android OS - GB. Problems that we experience on all three phones are as follows; If I look at the video file and turn the phone 90 degrees (it does not matter if I turn it left or right), then screen lock lock the screen immediately. I can not unlock the phone as long as the phone is in the same position. I have to turn it back 90 degrees for it to go to unlock it. The same happens even if I want to play games and have to turn my phone 90 degrees, or if I want to photograph or record a film. If I do not turn my phone 90 degrees, then everything works as it should, but it is supposed to be able to rotate the phone, depending on what you do without screen lock locks my phone immediately?
With the old 1.6 software on my X10, the lack of an automatic screen lock when in an active call was mildly annoying, as not all areas of the screen were active. However, with the new 2.1, just about anywhere on the screen becomes active (especially when juggling two simultaneous calls).What are the chances that we'll see a 'lock screen' function for phone calls?
when I got the first lollipop Update I had an option to disable the lock screen completely on my z3 compact, ever since this recent update to fix the bugs in lollipops it only gives me the option to set a slide lock screen or PIN or password but not completely disable it so if I try to use any third party lock screen I have to first unlock the Sony one before it will go to that one.
my other issue is with the throw, screen mirroring s only once since I've had this phone have I been able to scan and have devices come up I have a smart TV and that came up but everytime I try to do it now it just says no devices found every single time
How can I turn off the keyboard lock function? If I don't want it to auto lock after 5 mins but stay active, can I turn the auto lock off completely? I've checked Control Panel - Settings - General - Security - Phone and SIM Card and there appears to the the option, but when you try and select 'off' it doesn't allow you to turn it off...
I know that the lock icon is missing after the new upgrade and you have to push the A* then mute to unlock or set a password and the lock icon will reappear and then one has to enter a password to unlock phone.i get it but i hate it.i like the old way of being able to lock the phone and unlocking.can anyone tell me how to downgrade to old software or find an easy solution for this.is driving me nuts.also my calendar has created a double entry for all of my current appointments.i really hate the new upgrade.thought it was going to be better but haven't seen it yet.
Ever since I updated the softward on my device (about a week ago) my lock function doesn't work. I have set all the same securities as before (Options/Password/Enable) however when I push the "Lock" button on the top of the device it only locks they keypad. If I push it again it simply unlocks the device, it does not prompt for a password. I have to wait for the device to reach it's security time out before there is a password prompt to unlock.
I have a Curve 8330 and am wondering if there is a way to get the Keypad Lock and Standby Mode to function together from one of the convenience keys. I currently have Standby Mode on the Mute Key on top and Keypad Lock on the left convenience key.
My Ray's screen can't be turned on after every screen lock event. Any solution for this? I have reinstall my entire phone through SEUS and the same error is still occuring. Is is firmware problem or hardware problem. I can't believe this is happening as i always keep my phone under good condition and its just 4 months old. Dissapointing purchase.
p.s. The screen can be turned on if u keep trying to press the home button. Usually 8-15 minutes after the phone screen is locked. Face palm much.Is there any temporary solution because i urgently need to use my phone!
I've recently made the switch back to android from an iPhone after quite a few years and I'm trying to re-familiarize myself with android's operating system and work out what I need to change and using this phone I noticed the notifications lacking, so I set up DashClock and DashNotifier and so far I love it. It does exactly what I want it to do for all the apps I have set up with it except for the notifications coming through the 'Messages' app on the phone for text messages.
When receiving a text message my lock screen ignores that I've set up DashClock as my default lock screen and pulls up the original lock screen with the quite ugly 'New Message' notification (as seen in the attached picture). If I scroll to the right DashClock is open and showing the message notification just fine. I've tried to disable the lock screen notifications for the 'Messages' app but haven't been successful in removing it. Is there a way to just have the 'Messages' app give lock screen notifications on the top bar and none like in the image below, or is there a work around within DashClock/DashNotifier or some other application that would fix this? My phone is running Android 4.4.2.
Recently I had to reset my phone to factory settings, after doing this my phone was perfect except the screen lock was gone and I also noticed so was airplane mode, has anyone any solutions? I have gone into settings and tried to set up a lock pattern, the pattern is saved but then it is not on the phone.
My new X10 locks on a blue wallpaper when the sim is inserted - it works fine as a phone when the sim is out! It also says there is 'no service', but the sim works fine on another phone.
So today randomly I'm unable to make call using OK google. Once I tell it to make the call from the lock screen it dials the number and locks the screen again. Once screen unlocked the call begins.
THE most annoying bug for me so far - I got the phone set to automatically lock (pattern unlock) after 2 minutes of the screen being off. If I receive a call, proximity sensor hits the screen off as you'd expect. 2 minutes later I have to wake the screen manually with the power button, unlock it just to be able to end the call.
Every time I'm talking, the quick settings and main settings open and I end up changing them. I've turned on/off mobile data,, dialled another number while on a call, location, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, flashlight, deleted apps etc. My screen sensitivity is set to lowest.
Ever since the new update, about 30% of the time when I lock my screen with the power button and turn it back on, I don't get the "swipe to unlock. It's like it never locked at all. I have only had my xperia z2 for a few months. Before the new update everything was working fine.
I updated today to lollipop. But now in my lock screen security settings i can't select "none" or "swipe". I have already tried disabling the administrators.
recently i configure microsoft exchange email which make my screen to be unlock with password not with pattern or swap like before. it appear in device administrators and EMAIL and it have set password rules
I have just moved from an iPhone 5 to an Xperia Z3. Is there any way that I can have ios style lock screen notifications on my Z3? For example; text messages, missed calls, emails etc. I just downloaded an Xperia theme from the play store which showed lock screen notifications on the picture, however after installing it turns out to be just a wallpaper. Not quite what i was looking for.
I own an Xperia X8 since yesterday and find very annoying this screen lock that automaticly turns on some seconds after the screen timeout expires. The user's guide doesn't seem to mention the possibility of disabling that. I'm an intermediate cell phone user, have been using an SE K800i for years, don't know anything about Android but I'm curious about that (my first impression is that the phone isn't as user-friendly as the K800i, maybe it takes some time to get accustomed).
Using mini pro.I set up the lock screen.When I turn on the screen, my lock pattern is show on the screen for a second before vanishing and letting me enter. This hint, for sharp eyes, can be a tell for my lock. Kinda beat the essence of locking the screen.
It may sound trivial to some but one of my favorite BB functions was lost during the recent update and I can't seem to find how to restore it. I used to have the keyboard lock function assigned to the left side convenience key. This was really essentail for me to have and now it is not available for me to assign when I try to assign something for the left side convenience key. I know the Tour has the option on the top of the phone to lock it but even when this is pushed, it will still unlock in my bag. How can I restore this option?
Sometimes when I have my screen locked (either by pressing the screen lock button at the top of the phone, or automatically after the time-out) people are unable to call me, they get a 'busy' tone.I have tried phoning my mobile from a land-line and I usually get through and from that point on the other person can also get through to my mobile Have I done something wrong or have a setting set incorrectly?
