Thanks, I just have a double check (Android 4.0.4 ROM), it show that HI App Lock will auto-restart in 4-5s after being killed by "advanced task manager", the 4-5s is controlled by Android system, no one others can control it.

Could you please double check whether it is the same on your phone.
[Android Apps and Games] ketani73:
I also double-checked , after starting the hi app lock i locked "settings"....Then i killed the Hi app lock with "advanced task manager pro" ....Then i waited for 15 seconds & then tapped the "settings" icon & found it "not locked"...

I am using Note 2 running stock JB 4.1.2.......I just want to help you Dev because you are hard working & that's why i posted my view the moment i noticed this major flaw ....Wish you all the best for fixing this odd problem...!! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] bhargi:
Yes correct , It restarted after 4-5 second and the app was locked again!!

Thank you

NOTE: Didnt use the advance task killer just tried with the built in task manager
[Android Apps and Games] hiapp:
Great thanks for your kind help, but the two result is not the same :(

It may be due to different phone and ROM.

We will continue to fight on this issue, if someone else can help to verify, or provide some clue,

that is much appreciated

Bigass conflict with the LBE Security Master (Beta)

HI App no longer works & can't be pulled up from Dialer. Even with LBE disabled still can't pull it up, LBE had to be uninstalled & 2 phone reboots until HI App came back to life...same thing happens with Cerberus.
[Android Apps and Games] hiapp:
Have you set anything for HI App Lock in LBE? thanks
[Android Apps and Games] lion7718:
Ya, I gave HI App all the necessary permissions. I thought LBE might have killed it because it has a new task killer...but even after reboot I couldn't get HI App to work. I installed LBE & after 2nd reboot...HI App was working again. I might try LBE again once they fix all the bugs, but I thought you should know.

I can't get the wifi auto-task to work. I set the location to my wifi network and choose to disable main lock (the only lock I use).

Now I no longer need a password/pin for my apps. But even when I turn wifi off, it still doesn't ask for pin?

Am I missing something?
[Android Apps and Games] lion7718:
I think you might have posted in the wrong thread...Hi App doesn't have this feature.
[Android Apps and Games] bmoblli:
It does, it's a PRO feature, or it's supposed to be anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] lion7718:
My fault, I don't use Tasker...probably why I never noticed it.

I do use a newer program called AutomateIt.

And I'm on 4.1.2, Samsung Galaxy S3.
[Android Apps and Games] hiapp:
Thanks for the help :)
[Android Apps and Games] bmoblli:
I spoke a bit too soon. It's partly solved since it now asks for pin when I turn wifi off.

If I'm connected to my wifi network and leave home, my phone switches to 3G (still wifi switched on), but doesn't ask for a pin.

But if I turn wifi off and then on again it asks for pin (like it's supposed cause I'm out of range).

Not a really big problem though since I most of the time turn wifi off when I leave, but sometimes I forget.

Thanks,

1. It seems install/uninstall and settings is not very necessary to put them into profile(lockX), what do you want to use for?

2. Is mini tasker not powerful enough for you ? any new requirement?
[Android Apps and Games] frwan:
I use a profile when i'm not at home, i locked everything

When i'm home i don't use profile, i just lock install/uninstall.

I don't use mini tasker based on time and wifi.

When I go out it's not at the same time every day and i work a lot at home.

I don't use wifi all day long, just a couple of minutes.

For example i want to put a nfc tag to enable/disable one of my profile, is it possible ?

After update, when you hit Home...Android asks which Launcher you want too use. This shouldn't happen for just a Lock Screen.
[Android Apps and Games] hiapp:
Have you follow the step in "Enable screen lock" to do settings? thanks
[Android Apps and Games] lion7718:
No, I'm not going to use the Lock Screen; I just choose my Default Launcher as Always.

I'm just saying that you can download most (I haven't tried them all) Lock Screens & I've never this before...except in a true Launcher (like Apex or Nova). I think it might confuse some users....it also seems that it would cause problems with other Launchers...JMO.
[Android Apps and Games] nihonjin:
I thought i would give this app a try as most of the others i have tried just arent very stable. I run miui rom and when i click on the clear running apps widget that comes with miui it kills the app lock service and i can easily access the very apps i am trying to lock.

Why does this happen and shouldn't it reload and or not allow the service to stop running? Any way to fix this?

thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] hiapp:
Please ensure that you have not disable the ”display notification in status bar" in "anti-killed" settings.

[Android Apps and Games] nihonjin:
The display notification is enabled and yet when my daughter uses the kill app button in the rom it kills the service. Unfortunately without the ability to stop the service from running it is not much use to me. It seems to be a common problem with all app lockers i have tried. I like yours as it is clean and simple to use. Its a shame it doesnt stay running.
[Android Apps and Games] hiapp:
What ROM are you using? rooted?

you may open a music app, let it display in notification bar( close the UI), and then kill it, check whether it will restart.

I tried this and locked my contacts, messages, play store, install-uninstall apps and settings. When i want to open them i get an error message and the app force closes. and I cant uninstall the app too.
[Android Apps and Games] cities516:
Have you tried long pressing the OK button?
[Android Apps and Games] IceTeaDestroyer:
Of course. App closes. But a data wiping solved it:D
[Android Apps and Games] thetwinparadox:
What an amazing app! This made me abandon ALII and Smart app lock.

Just one bug: pattern trail is still visible during incoming call locking, even when trail is disabled in settings.

Also, it would be useful to add a feature that disables any more unlocking attempts. You would have to wait 30 seconds or so before trying again. How many times until this would happen could be changed in settings, as well as extensions of disabling after more attempts, and what would happen if tried too many times (data wipe, app uninstallation, etc).

Thank you in advance.

[Android Apps and Games] vpraveenis:
For sometime now, I face a strange issue where the set apps are locked sometimes but not locked most of the times. I dont have any profiles enabled. Just have a pattern lock set and a few apps have lock enabled. Also the lock policy is set to re-lock when screen off. But if I lock the screen and after a couple of minutes unlock and try to open a locked app, it does not ask for any pattern and just opens the app directly. This I observe after the last few updates. Enabling/Disabling App lock helps temporarily but the problem seem to come back.

Thanks for the update but what about my question regarding the anti theft and all, is it possible to fully deactivate it to not use cpu time if we don't want it ? Or unticking will just let it run without bothering you ? My device is not a beast and i can't afford wasting cpu cycle as everything else will lag easily.

[Android Apps and Games] lion7718:
I've never even turned it on...I have other Apps for that. You should be fine turning it off.

Thanks for this application with clean and simple interface , already using AppLock . but trying yours :) liked Relock Policy Option

you may need to add

1 - A Dark Theme

2 - Search Button to reduce scrolling searching for the applications

3 - Other way to lock the apps beside the unlock password like pattern or any new way :cowboy:

4 - New HD Icon it's looked blurry ( Galaxy Note II ) ;)

5 - Enable swiping between application tabs ( Lock App - Settings - More )

Note: OK button in screen password is useless cuz once you enter the correct password application is automatically opened so either remove it or make it doing the OK :good:

Thanks for your effort and keep it
