I have a wizard with WM6.
The device becomes automatically locked if left for say period of 20-30seconds.
How do I control or disable this such that only backlight is turned off?
I have the "Device Lock" today plugin seems to be doing it?

go on start>settings>personal you got app lock, select lock and change the timing of locking, beside that i wouldnt ask such lame questions
hehe, i know it's a noob question but heck I still can't find it.
I'm using NBD7.9 if it helps (maybe the mod change something).
Anyway, in Personal -> I click Lock
It brings up a screen with:
Password
_________
[Tick Box] Prompt if device unused....[x minutes]
But this is password, and not lock/unlock with time to lock
If you are using something like battery status or spbshell, there are options like "lock device on wake up" or something... try unchecking them too...
Check under start>settings>lock.
Do you have prompt if device unused checked?
That's the only setting I found after using search, using Device lock
Please help me...
I just bought the htc legend. I love the pattern lock screen which I set, so that i have to make a combination to unlock the screen, but as it is, the standard "slide lock sreen" is also there!!! How can I remove the slide screen lock so ONLY my pattern unlock screen is activated??
Please advice........
You can't. Sorry (It really annoyed me too)
Have you tried app called Nolock ? it works perfectly - removing the lock screen.. not sure about the patern lock though.

It removes pattern lock too
I guess it's needed to allow the "Lock phone after" x mins of inactivity.
I've however replaced HTC's with the AOSP one, have the sound button to mute the ringer
If you replace the HTC lock screen by another, that means we can disable it I guess...
When I was on CM 6.1, I just got the pattern code directly when I woke up the phone, no lockscreen !
You replace it so you can delete it right ?
I Guess I'm not helping, but i'm on one of the last ROM's (CM7 B2) and I only get the pattern unlock...
I don't understand why you would want no lockscreens at all (if that's what you're after)...
no just the pattern. So you don't have to slide down the lock screen and then make your code. It's an habit and it doesn't bother me much, but it's just a bit more quick without the slide lockscreen.
What ROM are you running now? Or is it the standard version of android?
I'm using BlaY0 B.07, sense based (otherwise there would be an option to remove the lockscreen).
What I don't understand though, is why can I replace my lockscreen, but can't remove it and keep the pattern code.
Or maybe the lockscreen I flashed (cryshop's, for sense only) is including the pattern code...
I've had the s6 and the lock screen would actually set the way you wanted. I've set up my fingerprints and set the lock screen type to fingerprints, but it still shows the stupid "swipe screen to unlock" lock screen and ignores the fingerprint setting. I checked the smart lock settings and none of those are active. Any ideas what to try next?
Use your finger. Don't swipe.

Settings > Quick Settings > Lock screen and security > Secure lock settings > Secured lock time > Instantly with the power key or when the screen times out
Basically it is defaulted to not lock the phone until it has been off for 10 minutes, meaning you do not need to use the fingerprint to unlock it if you have recently done so.
Set it as I said and you will be required to use fingerprints every time (or a pin, pattern, or whatever secondary method you chose) and it will unlock directly to your homescreen.

Really? Why did you bother with that?
On the off chance you're being serious and not thread-crapping, the screen will only unlock via swipe. no matter the actual setting, it still acts like swipe is the lock screen setting.

THANK YOU! That is possibly the stupidest, least secure default setting they could have chosen! I like Samsung, but they make it hard sometimes. How stupid. Thanks!
I am having same problem & have my phone set to lock immediately. Frustrating bcuz I want that security feature & it's not working.
update: smart lock and my gear fit watch together, were the culprit
Take off all lock options on your s7... then download gesture lock screen from the play store and set it up. It gets rid of the swipe and you can also customize it a lot more. I just got the s7 and was about to return it, especially after seeing so many threads with this problem, but gesture lock screen works perfect for me. Good luck.
Was having the same issue. Would ask for swipe motion after locking if I attempted to use phone by pressing home screen button. As soon as I disabled Bluetooth it started to prompt for finger print again.
it works...

Thanks S7EdgeGirl, it worked fine after I turned off my bluetooth option...now its asking me for the finger print to UNLOCK..
Crazy..........................
thaks a lot..this helped me out...
Issue for me was the Samsung smart watch was listed as a trusted device in Smart Lock. Turn this off and now it locks immediately as intended.
Hey guys, i have finally got the solution!!!! It is happening because of the smart lock option. Please disable it. What smart lock does is, when u unlock the device it remains unlocked until its with you for emergency kind of thing. If you disable smart lock it will prompt you for entering pattern or any other which you have set. Thank you....

I have the same problem with c9pro
Guys please help. I already set my pattern and fingerprints lock in my c9pro but when i locked and immediately switch on the screen, my phone can unlock using swipe only
I already set Lock screen setting > secure lock setting > lock instantly with power key is ON
But still only need swipe to unlock
What should i do?
Thanks
My s7 stuck on swipe. BT off set for fingerprints initially restated phone went through "new" security measures then after first fingerprint opening reverts to swipe. Changed to no security restarted then 're set up still no good. Figuring it was fingerprints changed to pin set up still works as swipe....frustrating
idk how many have observed this, but any kind of authentication from the bellow is disabled if you use a third party app / widget to lock your device :
Fingerprint | Trusted Face | Trusted Voice
I have tried using multiple apps / widgets that will turn off my screen or lock the device and added it as a gesture to my nova launcher's double tap gesture. so that i get double tap to lock screen on homescreen...
But this disables fp. I read somewhere that a tasker plugin can be used ...i tried it when i was on cm13 but that plugin actually enters the pin for you after you lock. meaning you lose security.
using the "turn off screen" option in buttons does keep the fp enabled. So ive currently kept long press back button to lock...and fp works... but this option isn't available through any settings shortcut or any other way...
So, if anyone finds any solution please let me know!
Thankyou!
After I've installed the 220MB update yesterday, the phone keeps asking for password almost every single time I unlock the phone. Even though I've got fingerprint enabled.
Keeps saying enter password according to device security policy.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Do you have a 3rd party launcher, I read somewhere Samsung made a change to what 3rd party apps are allowed to do, if you set something in the launcher that has to do with unlocking the phone this will be the result.
Thanks for the reply?
Yes, I have Smart Launcher Pro.
But is this new to this update? And is there any way to turn it off??
You can not switch it on and off. The only solution is to go back to the default launcher.
I think I found the solution. It uses Device admin rights to turn off screen on double tap. Disabling that seems to fix it.
i have the same issue
Im running stock launcher and i faced this problem as soon as i updated. nothing else is wrong with the phone except this fail to recognise my fingerprint.
After reading the post about launchers i remembered that i have 3 apps that tweak my phone, 'Galaxy buttons Lights', 'Easy Home' & 'All in one Gestures'. I disabled all and enabled each one and found out that 'All in one Gestures' was causing the issue. I had set up the app to have the top and bottom corners to toggle drop down menu and lock phone. These gestures where also active on the lock screen hence i think it was hindering the fingerprint recognition process. I guess the app has to push an update to fix this.
I now have this problem after update, I'm on stock its driving me mad!
Found my problem, its my screen off/lock widget.
I've now just tried 5 others and they all cause this problem, if I close by physical button then I don't get asked for pin on unlock, only if I use the widget does this happen
Same here. Although it's just S7, without the edges... And my password is over 10 characters long! So if anyone finds a true solution, that would be great... Stock launcher.
same with nova launcher, if you are using gesture to lock sreen, it needs pin/password to unlock, fingerprint is not enough...
samsung.. pls ..stahp..
