Hi! On the GS3 in Ice Cream Sandwich, the power button could either 1) lock the phone or 2) simply turn the screen off without locking, seen in the "Lock instantly with power key" toggle:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
In 4.1.1/Jelly Bean, though, Samsung or AT&T removed that toggle, forcing users to use 1) lock the phone; the entire option is now missing:
Do any smali gurus or ROM modders or anybody else know how to get this toggle back?
Try setting it the way how I have it in the screenshot. Make sure to un-check swipe lock.

But, the power button still locks the phone. I don't want it to do that--just turn the screen off. Thanks for the reply, though.

Set the screen lock out time to, say 3 minutes. Now power button will NOT lock the phone.

Here are my Settings:
And, still: if I press the power button, the screen turns off. If I press it again to wake me up after maybe 2 seconds, I am greeted by my pattern unlock screen. Does this not occur on your phone with these settings?

Nope. I have mine with 3 mins inactivity. And using power button or after 30 second screen timeout it doesn't lock immediately. If it turn it on within the 3 minute time period, it does not show lock screen.
Try using a different launcher.

Huh. OK, thanks for the info.
Launchers can affect lockscreens? I'm on Nova and I tried the TW launcher: no dice on either.
Could it, though, be your ROM? I'm on stock. The Intergalactic v2.8 release notes lists "Many other tweaks..." at the end, which might include this functionality.

It's a known issue with the AT&T JB ROM. I've used Verizon and Sprint ROMs ported over to AT&T and the option is there and works fine. Seems like only by using a 3rd party app can you get this functionality back, unless someone had a mod that can be flashed.

As title. Searched but can't find a sensible solution for this. Pattern lock gives a bit of security against casual intrusion, but it's a pain having to undo the HTC lock first. Any way of disabling the HTC lock?
doesn't 'No Lock' from the market do this?
How about stopping the green line from showing up? Too many people are figuring out my code .
Settings -> security -> uncheck "use visible pattern".

Tilt the screen in daylight - smudgy fingerprints give you away!
Still no answer to my original question.
Yea I thought this too. So I got rid of pattern lock and just use slide until I can get rid of slide.
You could try out "Lockpicker" it can disable the HTC Password Screen and let you keep the pattern lock.
I'm guessing that you have the HTC Password screen due to Exchange Security Policy ?
No I think they mean just unlocking the phone normally. Nothing to do with Exchange.
I am also keen to figure this one out. Also 'No Lock' lets you wake the screen and unlock by presssing any physical button on the phone. I would like to be able to press any button to wake the screen and then use pattern unlock. Simple really, but seems so hard to get working?!?
Is there any way of getting the password lock to apply after a set time rather than every time I want to wake the phone? I don't want to have to unlock if I've put it down for a few minutes but would appreciate some password security if has been unused for a user definable period of time.

Use Locale. I set mine to only have the lock screen when not at home.
i believe the reason that the "HTC Lock" is enforced is because you could easily lock yourself out of the phone if your phone turns on in your pocket.
imagine: you have no HTC lock, and your phone turns on in your pocket. walking around, the screen gets pressed either because you have your hand in your pocket, or other reasons, and the phone then registers 20 incorrect attempts at unlocking the phone. BOOM! you're locked out. the htc lock thing largely prevents this from happening.
i know it's annoying, but there is a reason it's there i think. and remember, if it wasn't the HTC lock, it'd be the android lock. it's not just htc that's doing this.

I have the Exchange setup and I was forced to setup a password to unlock the phone (plus Lockpick to remove it) - unfortunately I cannot change password or unlock to a pattern - simply I can't see it in the security menu...
I have figure out the solution.
After setting up you lock pattern. Go to Security -> Lock phone after and set it to
Immediately
This will actually lock your phone which require unlock pattern to unlock it.

As can be seen from its name, the Power button turns off the display without the need to program

Yes, but this is a "software" power button, he didn't mean the hardware one...
Another great app...Thanks!!
This will save on the wear of the hardware power button greatly. Just think about how many times a day you use the power button to lock/unlock the screen, this will cut the use in half. My old HD7 didn't even "click" anymore when I pressed the power button and I forgot that it even did until I got my new replacement HD7.

1- Yes, but only to lock the device.
2- It does not affect the battery.
first: sorry for reviving this old thread.
never thought I'd ever go back to Windows Phone 7 apps. My daughter dropped her WP7 device into water. Even after several cleaning and drying attempts the power button does not work anymore. All other buttons do work.
This app was a god send! thank you. Now she doesn't have to wait for the 30s screen time out
wonder if it's possible to create an app that does a combination of Vol down and Windows button to accomplish the same.
thanks again.

yeah thanks but I was probably not clear enough and I have this already on her phone.
what I meant is an app that changes the physical button behavior of Vol down and Windows button, when pressed together, to turn screen off. The screen off tile is OK for now. The problem is that once the screen is off the only way to turn the screen off is to open the keyboard (slide phone).
The other issue is that once the phone is off you can't turn it back on because the power button is dead. So you have to plug it into a usb port and it turns on.....
cheers

Does anyone know if there is a patch or app or mod that will allow the use of the Flashlight torch via the volume or home buttons on the phone. For example I would like to be able to turn the flashlight on by clicking the volume up and down at the same time or double tapping the home button. Some how turn the light on without having to unlock the phone and navigate to a widget.
Bump
I've used an older app on another handset called "button remapper". It literally does just that, but I'm not sure if it'll knock out the buttons original function all together or just allow both functions to run depending on the current state of use you're in.

Skynote rom has it built in, long press the home key on the lockscreen turns on the flashlight.

Thanks everyone for your responses.
I've heard that other ROM's had this feature, I was just wondering if there was a way to install the feature manually apart from a ROM as I'm currently running the Jedi X17 ROM and it does not have this feature.
I will have to check out button remapper.
Thanks again guys!

Since you want to stay with the Rom of your choice. You just need to install xposed framework, then all you need is the Tweak Box module. And your good to go!

I'm running a bunch of xposed framework mods on my Skynote Rom. And it's 4.1.2... so not sure where you read that. But it should work with your device! Make a back up of what you have now. Then try it out see if it helps you problem.

there's the screen im talking about, when you even touch the phone that screen seems to happen for you not to even touch the screen to input the fingerprint.
i've walked the whole config and found nothing.
it's deffinitely NOT the raise to wake, it's somethign else, but i dont know if its even workaroundable otherthan disaling the FPR which i dont want to.
Did a quick search and found there is an ADB command to disable it. I haven't tried it, so I am not sure if it works or if there are any issues that come up after running it, but if you want to check it out here you go

I'm confused also. That just looks like the aod. What's the problem here?
You mean that you have AOD off, and when you touch the screen you want to go directly to homescreen instead of the AOD, right?
The behavior on mine is exactly this one, I would like to have the AOD instead...

the bug is from nov, or maybe from beginning.
Is this about the phone screen constantly waking up whenever you touch the phone, regardless of whether you have disabled things like Always On Display and all the gestures like "Lift to wake phone"? If so, there's a fix you can use through ADB. I found this solution on reddit, and it's worked perfectly for me. No downsides.
Code:
adb shell settings put secure doze_quick_pickup_gesture 0
Found the solution from this reddit thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/qvg2nz/_/hkx0fiv
Perhaps I'm a little OT, but can you please help me which settings/adb commands should I use?
I have the AOD set to off, I would like that my phone shows the ambient display of first post when I lift the phone or touch the screen.
Thanks!

Yes, thanks, I did this, and when lift to check is set OFF, I have the ambient display when I lift up the phone, and this is OK for me. But if I enable Tap to check, the phone goes to homescreen, if I disable it the screen remains dark.
The usual things (integrated solutions or the many ideas I found online) do not work. I don't want to permanently disable it but I am absolutely annoyed to constantly have to unlock it while i'm just at home.
I want Automate to have it off while home and on while outside. Such a simple task and yet so complicated :-(
(Smart-Lock doesn't work at all for me. Never had on any phone.)
Maybe someone has found a solution?
Set lock_screen_lock_after_timeout to any longer value. I have created a task that runs after every boot which sets this value. You phone will never be locked. Make sure you uncheck Settings -> Security -> Screen lock -> Power button instantly lock.

Ah thank you, another option that will work. Thanks for sharing!
If you don't want to go down the tasker route,
Macrodroid with _Screen unlock at Home does the job.
Just change the SSID in the template. (Parts 1 and 2 needed)
What about on first boot? Don't you need to enter a password then? I want to bypass the password always, even after a reboot. Is there no way to have Tasker auto-login when the lock-screen is shown?
NOTE: I do have lockscreen set to Swipe, but that causes multiple issues which is what I am trying to fix... 1) No VPN without a lock, 2) No GPay without a lock, 3) Can't view Chrome saved passwords without creating a lock. Therefore disabling the lock at home is not a solution for me. I want it always disabled (swipe to unlock), but I want 1, 2, & 3 to work anyway.
PS: Here is how to do the timeout thing without Tasker... I will try that out for now, as it should solve everything except reboot (maybe I can live with that).
Code:
adb shell settings put secure lock_after_timeout_rollback 86400000
adb shell settings put secure lock_screen_lock_after_timeout 86400000
86400000 = 24 hours in miliseconds. You can change to a number that you find suitable.
This secure settings will survive after reboot so you only need to do once.
