When I pin a tab and try to unpin it doesn't let me. It shows the message to press back anfd overview together but it doesn't unpin no matter how long I press them together. Tried it on multiple apps, I get the same result. Anyone else facing same issue or know how to correct it?
if you mean the tabs in the recents you havr to swipe the app down to lock and down again to unlock
Problem is with gesture mode. When gesture mode is enabled, screen pinning should be disabled.
There is no option in MIUI to enable or disable screen pinning. So need to wait for MIUI to fix it
For now need to be careful, not to press it. Rebooting the phone for this issue is a pain now.
I'm facing the problem in button mode
I too am facing this issue in my poco F1 in button mode as well. Seems like a nasty bug as I NEED to reboot my mobile everytime for this.
Same here when pin the app it doesn't come out of it and the only way out is to restart the phone. Hope it's going to be fixed soon.
Anyone find a work around to this pinning problem yet? I think that the developer team is not even aware of this issue. As even after so much time there is no fix. Can anyone let them know of this irritating bug?
Omg glad a read this. Just pinned YouTube for my son to realise with gestures on it can't be unpinned. Was worried it would be a full reset
Workaround
This is a workaround. This is how unpin is done in android.
Press & hold power button & home screen ( middle) button together, you'll be taken to home screen.

Solution for screen unpinning in gesture mode
Download the app soft keys- home back button app from Google Play Store. This will give the phone virtual home button even if your phone is in gesture mode.
Works for me all the time

Hi all,
i've installed the Tasker Trial (from the developer site) a few days ago on my SGS III (no root, using stock rom).
I want Tasker to disable my Lockscreen security when i'm at home. Recently i tried this setup:
Profile: Trusted Zone
State: Wifi Connected [ SSID:ssid1/ssid2 MAC:* IP:* ]
A1: Secure Settings [ Configuration:Clear Password/Wait For Unlock ]
Profile: Untrusted Zone
State: Not Wifi Connected [ SSID:ssid1/ssid2 MAC:* IP:* ]
Abort Existing Task
A1: Secure Settings [ Configuration:Set Pin ]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I've tried nearly every setting i could imagine. With and without "Secure settings" plugin, pattern or pin on lockscreen, foregrund mode with notification icon or background without notification. Also i've registered Tasker and secure settings plugin as device admin in security settings.
My problem is, after setting up all necessary profiles and tasks everything seems to be fine, but after a while the display is locked even though i'm connected to my wifi at home. (yes, wifi is enabled all the time, even in lockscreen ;-) )
Also i've noticed that tasker sometimes displays a notification saying "Low memory". On SGS3? Realy?
I hope anyone could help me how to run tasker in a reliable way on sgs3.
Thanks in advance.
Hey man, sorry I can't help but I am running one task on my Spirit GS III.
My task is to connect to Wi-Fi according to the near cell tower.
Anyway, mine seems to be working just fine.

I dint think everything is perfect with tasker and ics. I think I red in the google groups about some things that may not function perfectly.
I have my lockscreen disabled when Bluetooth is connected in my car, and when it's connected to power. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Sorry, that's the best I can offer you.

I've used tasker since my desire days. I had profiles that turn wifi on and off and go into silent mode etc.
The only profile that doesn't work for me is turning off the LED. In fact for me I haven't found anything that will turn off the LED

Thank you guys.
I've also searched the web.
Unfortunately, i think there is a problem with Tasker and ICS (especially with SGS3?).
Maybe there will be an update for tasker...
Does anyone of you knows an app which allows me to control the Lockscreen behaviour through Wifi status?

I use Pattern, and this worked for me.
1)
Press the "+" to create a new profile. Name it what you want (I called it "unlock at home")
Press the "state" button.
Press the "Net" button.
Press the "Wifi Connected" button
Press the search button for the "SSID" and choose your network (wifi must be turned on!)
Press the green accept button.
2)
Now the "Task Selection" window appear.
Press "New Task" and name it whatever you want (I called it "Unlock")
Press the "+" button
Press the "Display" button
Press the "Keyguard" button
Set the Keyguard status to "Off"
Press the green accept button.
Press the green accept button again.
3)
Now you are back at the main profile window. Long press on the name you made for 2).
Press "Add Exit Task"
Press "new task" and name it what you want (I called it "Lock")
Press the "+"
Press the "Display"
Press the "Keyguard"
Set the status to "On"
Press green accept button.
You are done.
Now you phone will disable the keyguard when you are connected your home wifi network and enable it when you are not connected.
Notice. If you turn the screen off and on again within a second or two, the screen will turn off again, dunno why. So when you test it, turn the screen off and wait like 5 seconds and then turn it on.
Good luck

I made this tutorial for the eduroam networks at german/european universities. In this tutorial it will be explained how to setup an automatic enableing/disableing pattern lock. At my university place I have to use pattern or pin lock because of the "telekom root ca 2 certificate", otherwise the internet won't work. So the described steps should be very similar to your problem.
I edited the parts so you can use it 1:1
Requirements:
- Installed and working BusyBox App
- Installed and working Secure Settings App
--->Installed Helper in Secure Settings
- Installed and working Tasker
- Create Lockscreen (Password, Pin or Pattern Lock)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Open Tasker Application:
- Create new profile and name it like you want.
- At the "First Context" choose location and locate the place where you don't need the secure lockscreen. Instead of location you can choose whatever you want. In e.g. WiFi
- If you're done, just add a "New Task" and name it e.g. "deactivate pattern" or how you like
- Add an action ( Plugin -> Secure Settings -> Edit -> choose at DEV ADMIN ACTIONS "Password/Pin" or at HELPER ACTIONS "Pattern Lock"
---> For Password/Pin use these settings:
imageshack.us/photo/my-images/266/screenshot2012071109483.png
---> For Pattern Lock use these settings:
imageshack.us/photo/my-images/69/screenshot2012071109551.png
- Save the settings and check them all. You got a new profile with one task now. Long press at the task and add an "Exit Task". Use the same steps from above ( the last 2 steps ) just name it e.g. "activate pattern"
---> For Password/Pin use these settings:
(Insert your security Informations)
imageshack.us/photo/my-images/267/screenshot2012071109574.png
---> For Pattern Lock use these settings:
imageshack.us/photo/my-images/515/screenshot2012071109571.png
- Save all the settings you made and then you should have a profile which shows minimum one context and 2 tasks ( Input and Exit task)
That's it... i hope it work! If not let me know Tasker and Secure Settings are a very powerful tool and handle them with care!
Good Luck
Thanks to all of you.
Today i've tried the Trial version of "Delayed Lock" from the market with the Wifi Plugin.
An what should i say?
It works like a charm :good:
Less features than Tasker, but less expensive...
Nevertheless i will try your profiles even if i think i tried this settings before
Regards
For me it doesn't quite work.
When I turn off the pattern lock, it activates swipe unlock instead of no unlock screen.
I tried to turn off keyguard too, but with no effect at all.
I'm on stock rom with root.
Same for me, but I like it so. Don't know if this is a bug or a feature.

Guys, check Tasker website, there's a beta version there. It might solve your problems.

Ok maybe i got something: When you configure a VPN or install a new certificate, Android deactivates the possibilty to choose the less secure options in the security / lockscreen menu. If you now delete any VPN connection and/or user defined certificates, tasker and secure settings should work. At least for me it does. Can anyone verify this?
new version is available with stable version no bugs goto http://forum.xda-developers.com/yureka/themes-apps/app-gexture-enable-wakeup-gesture-link-t3226437
Amazing work brother, works like a charm, just a little problem, when I link the camera app with "C" gesture, it does open but it by-passes the pattern lock too so anyone can now open the pattern lock by drawing C while the screen is off, so could you do something so that if the user drew C , it opens camera and then if home key or back key was pressed, it would get back to the pattern lock screen?

using gesture go to app.
now go to home and now you can not go to recent panel. to go to recent panel have to lock device and unlock it now you can go to recent panel
Does this work with andriod 5.1
what about stock os?
Is this app not installable in stock os that has been now updated to lollipop using official download(upgrade)?
What can be done for this situstion?:angel:
Great Work, very promising
This works very well. however i would like to note down some observations
1. I keep getting geXture started toast every now and then
2. You need to launch the application once every reboot. (in spite of allowing autostart at the beginning)
3. The app list should be alphabetical order as pointed out earlier by Ashish earlier.
4. Single tap and long on physical home button seems to stop working when this app is active. Double tap works..
5. Long press on menu does not work.
I am on stock CM12
Would this have an impact on the battery and if yes how significant?
and last but not the least the OP should make it clear that SELinux mode has to be permissive for this app to work. i uninstalled it once because i thought it was not working
Doesn't work
@gohel.vishal
I am a YUser,I have got CM12 & Thunderzap kernal installed!This tool is not working,it just takes me to the lock-screen after any gesture i.e. it only wakes yureka up.
Hi,
I am also on YU stock ROM and kernel but getting FC on invoking the gesture.
Great app however needs improvement
First of all I would like to appreciate the efforts behind this app.
Secondly I would like to point out a bug in this.
As it requires root, if gesture is supplied to a locked device with secure lockscreen enabled, it surpasses it to open the app or perform the task. And moreover few apps like swiftkey (keyboard) do not provide full functionality with such unlock.
Eg : -
1. Set some gesture to open Whatsapp.
2. Set a secure lockscreen.
3. Set Swiftkey as main keyboard. (Enable gesture typing)
4. Lock phone.
5. Provide whatsapp opening gesture.
Bug - You won't be able to use gesture typing unless you lock your phone, stay on lock screen, unlock your phone by providing unlock code. After then only gesture typing can be done.
I believe there is a counter set in apps like swiftkey that check whether lockscreen secure, then do not allow gesture as it may allow a user to identify the password (Which I believe could be the case and if so it is good).
Proposed Solution : I believe before unlocking and opening the app, you would need to take the user to secure lockscreen page and then only allow opening the app. As if someone else comes to know the gesture of any app it would become a security breach.
I am not an android developer, but I can help you with testing and some use cases.
Cheers !!
Little bugs
Swipe no working on SwiftKey after installing it... .
I think u have stopped working on this app....

hi H7 community,
iam pretty new to my H7 (few days now) and i am verry happy with that phone.
i could not figure what exactly the touch disable mode does and how it works.
it seems like it does disable the touchscreen when its in my pocket/bag to prevent the user to wake it up unwanted.
how does the phone does it, is it useing different sensors to regocnize if its in a bag/pocket? this would mean i can deactivate it to lower the powerconsumption a little bit?!
thank you in advance for your answers.
greetings

I just found the solution. Hallelujah!
Download the Settings Database Editor app on Google Play:

In the System Table screen, scroll down to the bottom towards the 'T' section and find "Touch Disable Mode 1". Tap on it and change it to 0 to turn it off and hit save.
Please thank if it works for you ?
Once screen pinned, then it's not coming to normal state by pressing and holding the back and recents buttons together.
Can anyone help me
Any update
Nope still the same on stable MIUI 10 global. Which is disaster especially if you use navigation gestures as it's very easy to pin the screen. Does anyone on Android P beta experience the same issue?
BTW I'm on MIUI 10.1.3.0 (Poco f1). I've tried everything to turn on Screen pinning but I couldn't find that under settings. Please help.
How to avoid screen pinning.
I have found a way to avoid restart when screen pinned button is pressed accidentally which is always annoying.
Method: When screen pinned button is pressed it will show you instructions to unpin. Just press the power key, there you go you have successfully avoided the screen to be pinned.
Note: Don't press ok button when it shows how to unpin, if pressed ok then only way to get out is restart.
This method will work for both button and full screen gestures users
Hope I've helped.:angel:

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, this "feature" has been really getting on my nerves, and I've managed to get out of the screen pinning by getting tap happy with the buttons and keys but without really working it out and not wanting to test. Well I got stuck in it again today to the point of Googling again for a solution (which I didn't find), but I found my own so thought i'd post it, i'm using a Xiaomi Mi 9 running MIUI Global 10.2.30 but expect the same to apply to the POCOPHONE F1 also.
When your screen is pinned press the physical power button and the home (middle) soft button and screen pinning will be removed, hopefully that helps someone else out !
How you pin your screen? I am new in miui (10.3.8.0) please help.
I use full screen mode.

Yes bro it works fine and now i can use DMR in oubg for tap tap tapp Thanks bro

This technique also works on RN8PRO running EEA MIUI 11.0.2.0. Many thanks for sharing the tip as it is a really useful feature.
However would anyone of you know how to enable password feature when unpinning?
Since that pinning feature does not seem to be 'supported' natively by our Xiaomi phones I'd be curious to know what key to add to also have the password supported when unpinning.
I'd guess we could get that value from any other phone running stock android and supporting the pinning feature natively.
Thanks
UPDATE:
Sharing if it may interest someone like me.
So I grabbed my old non MIUI phone and dig its settings.
Turns out we can enable lock on unpinning by just adding an other simple value key in Secure table.
To be allowed to do so, you first need to grant extra permission to app through adb:
It may not be the case for all devices but for my RN8PRO I needed root (su) to apply the adb command.
Code:
pm grant by4a.setedit22 android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Once permission granted, select Secure table, and add the following new key:
Code:
lock_in_app_exit_locked 1
All set, you will now be asked to unlock screen once you unpin pinned app by long pressing back.
Hope this helps.
Hi
After update MIUI to 12.5, I normally use an application (screen off and lock) to lock the screen, since double tap doesn't work.
Turns out that after the update when I lock the screen through the app, I can't unlock with fingerprint saying that "device locked by admin" and I have to use the pin to unlock.
Anyone knows how to overcome this?
Thanks in advance.

This was not funny at all i have to say,my wife is absolutely crazy because of this issue and think´s the whole phone is ruined because of this,okay..
Isn´t it anyone out there who has a solution for this or do we really have to wait for another update to come before we can have the fingerprint to work again because i really hope they going to fix this for us or?

Same here on mi 10T
I have learned not to update MiUI, as the updates rarely fix old bugs and ALWAYS introduce new bugs. Best just sticking with what it came with until a custom ROM comes along and then leave the MiUI crap in the past.
Problem is 3rd app lock method.
Here is solution:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/oauv33
I use NOVA LAUNCHER and I have same problem after 12.5 update. So I changed LOCK method in NOVA and it works.

This was really good to learn about i have to say,thank you very much for your help!
I solved this issue after updating my Mi Note 10 to MIUI 12.5.1 by switching from 3rd party screen lock / turn off app to an official built-in widget simply called "Lock" (go look for it, it should be near the top in Widgets section when you press and hold empty home screen area).
To remove unofficial screen lock app you must first revoke admin rights, of course, otherwise its ghost will keep reappearing after each uninstall attempt.
I simply like stock MIUI Launcher, so using 3rd party ones to solve this was unacceptable for me.
if u guys are just talking about turn off screen without using side button, then there are some options present in miui...
1) [if u r using button navigation] setting> additional setting> button shortcut> turn off screen> choose as ur choice
2) You can also use the quick ball, 'setting> additional setting> quick ball' with quick ball u can use 5 shortcuts like home, menu, lock, clear cache, ss etc
3) the widget option... Just like d789 said
And 'double tap to wake or turn off screen' option is present in the "setting> always on display & lock screen"...
Thanks, I overlooked that buttons shortcuts in Settings can be configured to lock the screen as well (e.g. long hold Back or Home on-screen button).
Yeah, double-tap to wake or turn off screen is also very useful feature I use since day 1.

I use NOVA LAUNCHER and I have same problem after 12.5 update. So I changed LOCK method in NOVA and it works.

For me this doesn't work.
I use Nova and always have.
In Nova I go to "Gesture and Inputs" change the "double tap" to "screen lock".
I then choose "Accessibility" and add Nova.
After that if I double click nothing happens. If I remove Nova from accessibility and then double tap it asks me to use device admin or accessibility. I use this way on every single mobile I use but on 12.5.3 I can't pick accessibility as it refuses to do anything when Nova is added.

Thanks, I didn't know about that.
Now the only thing for me that is still broken is the fact that I can't use gestures with Nova launcher.
To everyone who's still facing this issue. This fix helped me and a lot of others as well. Try it out.
It's a rare but annoying glitch in MIUI, you can easily solve it:
1. Go to TWRP -> File Manager
2. Browse to: /data/system
3. Delete file "locksettings.db"
4. Reboot.
You will need to set the lock screen password/pattern again, if you had any before.

I have learned not to update MiUI, as the updates rarely fix old bugs and ALWAYS introduce new bugs. Best just sticking with what it came with until a custom ROM comes along and then leave the MiUI crap in the past.

That's a bit harsh. We have had Redmi 4 prime, 5 plus, note 7, 8, 10 and mi 11 lite and I have not had significant issues during upgrades.

Dear friend, my phone is Redmi Note 7 Pro. I had no issues after doing this. It worked perfectly for me. So, as I saw this forum thread before fixing my phone, I just shared the information I knew. Not everyone will get the same result from this, because not everyone has the same phone. So, whether or not you didn't get the expected outcome, you shouldn't tell others to not follow this. It's their choice, not yours. Maybe atleast some of them will find it useful than you did.

Thank you very much.
This works for my RN10Pro using MIUI13.0.6, change the lockscreen setting in Nova, from admin to accessibility.
I can't double tap to close home screen anymore, but there's still home button in the lowest middle to do that.
The most important thing is, I can directly go to home screen just by touch the fingerprint button.
Thanks for your advice.
If you guys are talking about the fingerprint button then i suggest you just use the gestures that are provided by default of the settings since there nust be a spatial consisting of failure of recognizing the algorithm of identifying user by fingerprint method or they just didn't implement the algorithm that is stored inside the operating system of the phone.
So gestures is the only way to go you can apply gestures by using monetary apps that may give access to other gestures like slide down to view user statistics or usage and slide up to reveal system settings but i couldn't blame the operating system though for having not enough gestures but I'm also. Thankful that they have custom gestures so i wouldn't imply to an app that can be placebo or popular in playstore who knows it can be money cashgrab(just stating the fact that i had to cancel so many subscription on a gesture app)
