I'm beyond tired of pushing the power button on my Evo to turn it on, then swipe down go get the pattern grid, then finally swipe my pattern to get into the GUI. I know I can turn off all that stuff manually (each and every time, with Menu > Settings > and confirmations and all this BS), but then

[android-developers] Re: Any chance to deactivate the lock pattern in Froyo from code?

To add to Scott's contribution, I want to be able to automatically lock my phone, but only when I'm not in a "safe" environment. I can set up rules in third party applications (such as Setting Profiles) that could (before Froyo) enable the lock screen by default, but disable it when I am at hom

[android-developers] Re: Any chance to deactivate the lock pattern in Froyo from code?

Hi Scott, people here do not want to 'not lock' the device. We just don't want it to lock immediately when the screen turns of or is being turned of. Not locking the phone is insecure. Not providing an option to delay the lock for a reasonable time (~5 minutes) on a phone which needs to be locked

Well, the good news are that only Google customers are out of options, as Moto and HTC have added the feature in question by now (common sense miraculously at work). However this little episode makes me wonder about some search engine's employees' attitude towards security. I for one would have go

@Anders and @Brad Gies, If you are frustrated with not having a lock timer, I'd suggest checking out Smart Lock. Its a good alternative while we wait for Google to make the lock screen situation better. Smart Lock lets you use one app, and only one app at a time, without unlocking your phone. It d

[android-developers] Re: Any chance to deactivate the lock pattern in Froyo from code?

This is insane.. for Android not to support a security delay is just beyond words. As a private user I do not want to enter my security code any time I unlock my phone. I do on the other hand want security. Every smartphone I've used had an option to delay security for 5min to a couple of hours.

I'm a little late on this thread, but I just wanted to say that your description of the "Problem" is as clear (and accurate) a description as I have seen, and I am exactly the kind of user you are describing :). I would love to have the option of setting two values for the screen lock. One t

Thanks for your response Dianne. If I understand you right, than the only "option" to provide more flexibility to the users is still an option in Android itself. The DeviceManager can then disallow such temporary lowering of the lock level. >From my point of view an always on security feature wil

Re: [android-developers] Re: Any chance to deactivate the lock pattern in Froyo from code?

Hi, The DeviceAdmin API is not going to contain this kind of functionality. That API is for apps to specify security limits they have; disabling the lock screen is not a security limit, but a removal. The admin API is carefully designed so that any constraints one admin specifies can not conflic
