Drag the Lock icon to unlock - BETTER METHOD of Adjusting

This video shows the simplest & best method to ADJUST OR DISABLE the "Drag the Lock icon to unlock" feature on a Samsung device.

With this method the device's Settings App is used to access the Game Booster app, even though a search within the Settings App for "Game Booster" yields no results. This method will work no matter how you have the Navigation Bar or Buttons set to appear (at least on a Samsung device with Samsung's One UI 3.1). I have another YouTube video that show a method of using the Game Booster Icon in the Navigation Bar to get into the necessary setting to adjust the 'screen locking feature', you could check it out at this title & link:

THE METHOD USED IN THE PRESENT VIDEO:

1) Requires you to open you device's Setting App;
2) Search for the Apps section;
3) On your Samsung device, find the line "Samsung app settings" near the top, likely just about the list of all on device apps. Tap that line;
4) Scroll down til you find a listing for Game Booster. Tap the Game Booster line;
5) You will now be in Game Booster's Settings;
6) The name of the "Drag the Lock icon to unlock" feature has a different name here. It is called "Touch Protection Timeout". Samsung default sets it to 3-minutes, but if you tap the Touch Protection Timeout line you will be presented with options for other time lenghts;
7) Choose a TIME YOU THINK IS MORE APPROPRIATE or COMPLETELY DISABLE the feature by tapping "Never";
8) You are done. Though you could come back & further adjust it.

I hope this video and these notes which you may be able to translate help you out. However, as I've found out from my other video on this feature, things are not alway simple with Android. Some of you many not be able to adjust the lenght of time for the activation of this feature.
     If this method does not work for you, you could see if my other video & method does. And there are others who has posted videos about this annoying feature - you could look them up as well to see if they offer any help.
