I have my house as the smart unlocked location so I don't have to mess around unlocking it all the time however it doesn't seem to stick, I have to keep resetting it, does anyone else have this?
I Just had my place, I had it before but it never really work,and now I wiped my all device with 9.1 update. So just put back my location to be able to unlock my phone without fingerprint or face ID but it looks like it doesn't work because I still need my face or fingerprint.... ??

For those that have 2.3.4, do you still have to swipe to unlock and then actually unlock the phone with the password/pin/whatever if you have it enabled?
The fingerprint scanner was the only way I could figure out how to avoid this with 2.2.x, but since that's non-functional at the moment, I was curious how the unlock might be working now.
Thats pretty much standard as far as I know. If you don't want to have to do that, then just don't put a passcode or pattern lock.
Hi guys.
I really need your expert advice on my problem I've been trying to troubleshoot the last hours.
I recently changed the pattern to unlock my phone.
it's a droid razr with latest MIUI official (ICS)
Today I tried to unlock it and failed it. I was really almost sure about the code, it was composed of the 4 bottom squares, so not many possibilities. I tried all of them and nothing worked, so I suspect a bug, but ok I was tired and changed the code yesterday, so let's imagine I type the wrong code and used all my possibilities.. I was not really worried are I was sure there was way to go around this.
The problem is that it seems MIUI is buggy, as it should ask for my google username/password to unlock, but it just reboot when I try to unlock.
anyway my phone is not having internet connection so from what I saw it will not work.
also, the razr is not having any recovery, well I mean you need a specific application to go into it so I cannot launch it since I cannot acces to phone apps
so I really see no option to go back to my phone data. I think I could restore a official rom, but it would mean loose all my data. I'd really like to keep my sms especially the 5 last one I received today and cannot read. So if anybody has an interesting idea, i'd be more than happy to hear it.
thanks and hope you'll be inspired!
cheers
Hey thanks for reading, a couple of days ago , my wifes phone got stolen, i had the find my phone app installed in it but i always had my doubts as i always thought that if someone like me finds a phone and wants to keep it, they could just master reset it and erase any gps traking apps and have a new phone rigth? well thats what happened,tiefh turned off the phone right away and the phone never showed up neither on google device manager nor the find my phone either. Anyway , a person that works on a cell repair shop told me, he has his phone setup in a way that if you do a factory reset or even if you flash the phone, once the phone has acces to the internet, it will install the gps back again and tell you where it is.
So i was wondering if anyone has any idea wich app or how to do such thing. Thanks for your time and pardon my bad grammar and english.
PS: i wonder why google dosnt have something like the icloud where you can lock your phone to it via imei, that way if it gets stolen you can just lock your phone and tiefs wont be able to use it. I know google has my last imei, so i guess is posible for them to track my device to see wich other account is using my phone.

With root access Avast Mobile Security has this kind of features as far as I remember. It keeps a protection after a factory reset or a firmware installation.
BTW Apple produces the devices so they have a control on the IMEI (IMEI is a hardware data and not software). Moreover you should probably be able to contact your local authoritizies to blacklist the IMEI.
Hope it helps.
ill give that atry, the reviews dont look good but most of them look to be because people dont understand that there are 2 kinds of the same app, one for normal users , the other for rooted users. Thanks alot for your help. Any other options out there?

Reset, there's no other way. If there was another way to get in, it would defeat the purpose of the security lock.

yeah this is what i did , but this time my wife knows password just in case.
Is this possible. I've tried everything the fingerprint scanner doesn't work unless you have a secure lock screen. I have used knock code since I got the V10 along with fingerprint so I can use the fingerprint, but I don't want to have to put a knock code in if my fingerprint doesn't work or its on the table...
Anyone got a workaround? I'm still searching.
Matt
Does no one know how I can do this?

I'd like to know the same thing. I know LastPass just added fingerprint support (for marshmallow) and I'd love to be able to use my fingerprint to unlock that (when marshmallow comes) without having to have a secure lockscreen. I don't really care if someone can get into my phone. I just don't want to have to type in my password to use lastpass
I've searched around everywhere for this option .... I just don't think it exists.
So just don't use any lock to get into the phone now. I've got the stuff I want secure in locked files/apps section. Makes using and accessing the main functions of the phone much more accessible. Only doing this for a few days now as a test, but I think it'll be the way I keep it.
My Two Lock Screens Worth
I've addressed the issue another way. I added several more "trusted" places, devices, and connections as well as "trust while moving" which means as long as the phone senses it's on me, I'm at home, connected to Bluetooth devices I know, and more, there's no secure lock but fingerprint still unlocks it. Perfect. Still testing it
