I bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo i9301i from Italy without any service offer. But i use it in Bangladesh. When i tried to use that phone here it say's to give a pin code for network lock. I went to nearest local service center and they unlock the phone in some way but i can't use my Swipe, Pattern lock . I can only use password. It is very painful giving password every time. Here is a screenshot of my lock screen. Can anyone help me about this matter?
Hmm seems that your device is encrypted.. dont know why it disabled features for you.. i suggest wiping data/ factory reset over recovery mode ( vol up + home + power ) to see if it will help. Note that this will remove everythign from your phone so backup important data
Maybe because in Italy is Locked,but i don't think that has to do...
Horrible english but i'm italian

Go to LOCK SCREEN and change to swipe or what ever you whant? Than write the password you already have signed and done. I make the same and its working for me.

I have already tried that too. It say's Pattern lock, swipe and other's lock system are disabled by administrators, credential manage or encryption policy. Please see my uploaded image

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I had encrypted my phone. Do you know anything about if i do factory reset/wiping data, will it show again a network lock? If it become network lock again it will cost me about 20$

Strange i just encrypt but when i go to lock screen i enter the password and now i normal i dont know what will happen after charge or reboot.
And dont be nervous i try to help your choice did you will accept.
(sorry for mistakes and for my english)
Well, if factory reset does not solve your problem, the alternative that I can think of is to use ODIN to flash stock firmware.
Thanks all for reply. I just solved the problem. It was happening for encrypting my device. After decrypting my device the problem is solved

Did you change the time for secured lock screen? Go to Setting>Lock screen and click on "Secured Lock Time." Change the setting to Instantly lock after screen off.
it is, but still not solved

Go into recovery mode and then perform "Clean Cache Partition"
i didnt mention a thing : when i wipe data+cache+dalvik.... the fingerprints stay even without samsung or google login
Hi! As the title says, I somehow can't use that option.
I had fingerprint scanning for a while but got tired of it so wanted to go back to just swiping but that option is not clickable. I have tried switching to other password methods and that works just fine and I also deleted my fingerprint. But it still doesn't work to use the just swipe option... Any solution? Except factory reset.

Hi,
It could be that you have a device administrator active (Google Device Manger) that requires the screen to be locked by PIN or password. To check and disable it go to Settings> Advanced settings> Security> Device administrators.
Cheers
I tried that now when you answered, but disabling that feature didn't help either..
This option is locked in kernel by Huawei because of encryption policy or credential storage.

What does that mean? And is there a way to bypass that?

It mean, that Huawei try to mentain the security of device. Maybe if you root the phone you can get full acces. You saw if you reset the phone, at start up it's required to insert the pin code. I will analyse this situation.
i have the same problem, the only way to disable the lockscreen code is by skipping it during first setup after resetting the phone
It's possible with a little workaround. Change screenlock to pattern and make a recovery pin -> Turn screen off and on -> Input wrong pattern 5 times -> Wait for the 60 second countdown and press use pin in bottom right corner -> Use your recovery pin to unlock phone and then press home button. That's it.
I contacted Huawei customer service. They told me if I have used encryption before even if you removed it the only way to turn swipe to unlock lockscreen again is to backup your data and factory reset.
Every time i start up the phone i get a short boot animation , then have to input a pin number and after that the phone continues to boot.
I would like to remove this option, but cannot find anything on the phone to reset this, a search on the net also did not help.
If anyone knows how to remove this, thanks !

You just have to remove your Pin in settings, and when you apply a Pin/lock again, you choose 'No' when the interface asks you again for the Startup Pin Hope this helps
alright i successfully rooted but whenever i restart my phone it shows up both the bootloader screen and the enter pin screen. How do i remove those screens to just go straight to my lock screen?

The 'your phone can't be checked for corruption' message can be removed, but you risk black-screening your phone and I still fon' know how people recovered from this. Don't try, I tell you.
And the PIN i dunno, but I'm pretty sure it's got something to do with encryption. Try to format data from TWRP (NOT just wipe, use the button that says Format data, that is right beside the Advanced Wipe one), but you'll lose your internal storage too. Or just wait for someone that knows more than me to respond on this matter. I'm sure the PIN screen will disappear after you do that, but maybe there's an easier way.
Nope...you need to wipe your data to get rid of the pin screen...
Hope you backed up anything irreplaceable...

Wipe or format? Usually wipe doesn't do anything to encryption
I just factory reset m,ine through recovery after unlock... That worked...

hey guys whenever i restart the phone it asks for pin or the password i setup and than only it will start the phone, why
is this normal, how to fix this
That's normal.... You'll always have to provide password or pin for the first time after phone reboots. Unless you select none for your lockscreen unlock method
My phone in the beginning asked every time I restarted but now it doesn't ask for anything. Is something wrong?

There's two levels of lock. One is the lock before android starts and second one after boot is finished.
If your phone isn't asking for an unlock password/pin it's possible you may have disabled it. You can enable the lock before device starts by going through the same process as normal but checking Yes when it asks the question. See my attached image for how the screen looks. If you select No you can apply a regular after boot lock.
