[Q] How To Disable Auto Factory Reset? - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just installed Moar Rom. Auto factory reset is automatically turned on in the lock screen options page and I am not able to disable it. I've searched the forums and did a lot of searching online but I have not been able to find any solution for this. By any chance does anyone have any advice on how to turn of this feature? Thank you!

I think you're talking about the Power Menu in MOAR settings.

I don't believe there is anything in there related to what I am trying to solve. If you go to Settings > Lock Screen, at the bottom there is a section titled Auto Factory Reset. I would like to turn this off.

Sorry, Yes I misunderstood. Have you checked security settings for Google and Samsung. I would say one of them is the reason it's greyed out.

I found that this setting was being controlled by my Exchange server at work. I had read online that this was something that Verizon had implemented, however it appears that is not the case here.

Lock Screen Help

Hey all,
I tried to set up my lock screen, and when I go into settings, I can configure a PIN or password, but I can't enable it. It is set to "off" and when I tap it, it dumps me back to the main settings screen.
I have done more flashing than a Republican Congressman, but nothing seems to work. I'm also good with going back to stock (I think I tried that), but I have to have a lock screen for work.
Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same issue... Glad that I'm not the only one with this issue..
Did you find any solution yet?
I did not post this in development forum... Have posted under general forum...
Settings > Location & security > Tap on PIN or Password to set the lock method.
That's all you need to do, it will automatically enable the protection for you.
To disable the PIN or Password protection, select the Off or Not secured option.
Using Off will display directly the main screen, while Not secured will display the swipe circle.
Have already tried all that... didn't work... I set the pin and still says it is off.. Turned my screen off and lock screen doesn't appear when I turn it back up...
Don't know what is going on..
Are you using a vanilla 3.1 ROM or creepy TouchWiz?
Settings > Location & security > Configure Lock Screen > PIN
Enter PIN > Continue > Confirm PIN > OK > Tap Home > Press Power button
I don't think so... It is a factory stock 3.1 ROM.. I didn't change anything... I have the rooted Droid 1, never had this prob with my phone.. Don't understand what is going on... Have tried the typical steps but screen lock not enabling...
Only thing is that, mine came from Europe as a gift... Maybe this was how it got set up over there? But don't know...
I have a brazilian one with the sam problem. I think it's a bug.

I had the same problem. Go to the security page and chose which method youwant to use, pin, parties or pattern. Once you enter it don't click anything else in that screen. Click the back button and it will be saved.
Screen Lock Activated
Thanks for the help peeps. Got my screen locked by doing as Meth819 mentioned.

Does your S4 torch flashes when you receive a phone call?

I just found out about this last night. I received a called around 12am. The S4's torch flash start flashing in interval when i got the call. Pretty weird but cool at the same time. I tested it out in the next morning and it still does that.
Does anyone know that its a Samsung's feature or something else that I installed? I wanna turn it off to save battery.
Thanks.
Mine doesnt do that...

Check your accessibility settings to turn this on and off... Its a feature commonly used for people who are hard of hearing so they can see the phone flash when it rings.

There is nothing in the Accessibility option that flash the torch when I get a phone call.. This is weird.. I dont know any app that does that by default.. Does anyone else have any ideas at all?

Menu -> Settings -> My Device Tab -> Accessibility -> Under hearing at the bottom there is a flash notifications check box.

That option is NOT checked at all and the torch is still flashes when i get phone calls. But not for text/email, etc..
Try checking it and unchecking it. If that doesn't work, it's an app.

[Q] Help - My open/close menu is weird

I just upgraded my HD2 from Gingerbread to Jellybean 4.2.2. So far everything works great except for my open/close menu.
Here is a youtube link of what I am dealing with:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pd0ucQyyMMM&feature=c4-overview&list=UUL-MgWl4c3Iv-H1iy3YTbLA
I've installed
2.6.32_tytung_jellybean_r2
US T-mobile HD2
I've rebooted the phone many times and even tried reinstalling the ROM and I still have it.
If anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know.
Thanks.
so this is about after clicking on menu button, it launches recent apps? or about the graphics glitches?
anyway, are you using the latest version of the rom?

This is about the graphics glitches. I have it so that when I hold down my menu button it takes me to the open/close menu. I have the latest version. I just checked for an update this morning and there was none.

Hey! Removing the live wallpaper did the trick. I don't know where to find the developer options (in settings?) but if I check the force gpu drawing like you suggested do you think that I will be able to use live wallpaper again?

Thanks! I now have developer options! I kept trying different things and finally found that disabling HW overlays fixed it! I hope that whatever that means doesn't screw up something else.
Hey, you seem to know a lot. I was also wondering if you know how to keep auto update on for the android play store but disable it for certain apps. My wife really does not like the new update to the google navigation/maops on her stock GS3 and prefers the old. I uninstalled the update to set it back but I didn't want to turn off her auto update because I know that she will never update her apps manually. Any suggestions?
@jimvsmij sorry, i have no idea about that

Open the Play Store > Go into the app you want to disable auto-update for > hit the menu button > You should find "Auto-update", uncheck it.
Other apps will update normally while this one won't.

I saw that option earlier but I thought that unchecking the auto-update would apply to all the apps.
Thanks!

yureka is frequently getting locked after new official update of cm12.1

My yureka is frequently getting locked after updating cm 12.1 .i cant do anything cz screen goes blank and then it get locked and wallpaper get changed to its default wallpaper and theme says it is customised. I traid safe mode but its not working. Any suggestion or tips ..?? Pls help....
[Solved]:
Usually it happens to everyone who upgraded to cyanogen 12.1 recently, even I had this problem and got the solution too.. Upgrading OS needs to take effect on GUI of the previous verson, so you have to reset your phone!
Do as follows:
> Take the data backup from your device,
>Go to settings, and reset the phone to the factory defaults!
>Done!

If this problem is solved by just factory resetting than why YU is ready to exchange the device for just this issue. I am also having the same problem and when I connected customer care the said that we will replace your device
Hey I have got a solution for this . Go to your device settings and then Privacy. Then go to privacy guard. There are three dots on upper right corner. CLICK ON THAT AND SELECT SHOW BUILT IN APPS. Now search for Google play services and hold on Google play services. Scroll downside and search for auto start and keep awake. Turn them off. But keep sure that (keep awake ) is enabled.
If it help you please thanks me.
I tried factory resetting but after few days it went back as it was . It doesn't help. Tjen on YouTube i found a solution its working .....
First i turn off double tap option that includs double tap to wake up and double tap to sleep then i removed all Google accounts and cyanogen account . And after that i cleared all the data of play store and play service .and then after rebooting i signed all my account back and my phone is working well till now....

Hello,
I keep searching through the XDA and on the web because I can not see any additional information on lock screen. I found that the S7 users got the same trouble but they can resolve it when turning lock screen "none" but unfortunately I can only use "swipe" as for now (B05). SS below
