What the hell?? Timepin was working perfectly on my galaxy note 3 until yesterday and now I'm locked out completely with both default pin and modifier pin not working. Have rebooted more than ten times and tried default pin but still can't get it in. I'm rooted and on old bootloader using URDLV so flashing and restoring firmware means I'll loose root. So op I'm waiting on you.
[Android Apps and Games] WibblyW:
Excellent idea! Just type the PIN once and you're in straight away even if the minute changes :)

You are both correct, thanks for the hints, Quick Unlock does the job to force pressing the Enter key thus enhancing security level.

Timein, Moto G, bleutooth carkit

The moto G has something called "trusted devices", which will unlock your phone when connected. This means when I'm in my car, my phone unlocks when connected to the carkit, so I can use my car to make phone calls without the need to unlock the phone. However when timepin is active I still need to unlock the phone once, which is pretty annoying when driving...

I know I should be able to disable timepin with tasker when connected to the car, but it would be nicer if timepin would take the "trusted devices" in account.

TimePIN is bringing "Trusted Connections" in the 2.0 official release, it cant take into account the built in trusted devices, so I had to replicate it.
[Android Apps and Games] dsip:
I'd like to see a few more abilities to modify the pin - should be really easy to add, guess?

Suggestions:

i) mmhh, i.e. digits in order 3-4-1-2

ii) ability to use 12/24 hour settings independently of phone settings.

iii) Fixed leading/final number, e.g. hhmm3, 27hhmm etc

I'm also still wondering if there's any chance to buy the app without using playstore. :(

Thanks for considering! (And the great app in general.)
[Android Apps and Games] jcase:
You can email RE: buying without playstore, i have it setup but no public interface until I figure out google policies on the matter.

The rest will be looked into after, or for the 2.0 release

Not working on aosp based rom temasek rom on galaxy note 3, it also caused a bug to time changing. When i restart my device time goes 1 hour and 30 min backward and date also changes to 1/1/2013. Even disabling or deleting it did not fix the problem

Sent from my SM-N9005
[Android Apps and Games] jcase:
TimePIN does not have the ability to change time nor date, it is not a root application and makes no modifications to your device's firmware (it doesn't have the ability to). It leaves no lasting effects after uninstallation, and does nothing outside what basic Android APIs allow.

This is pretty obviously a firmware (or whatever controls the clock on your device) issue.

feature request :)

i would buy this in an instant, if it was able to be disabled by a 'trusted' bluetooth connection. when i have the phone in my car dock i cannot concentrate on the time and pin i need to enter. fallback to my pattern would be fine, even better would be if the pin/pattern check would be disabled completely if the phone is connected to a trusted bluetooth device.

some enhancements for TimePIN

Hi Jcase,

I have been using TimePIN without any issues on my Galaxy device but would suggest a couple of features to be enabled if possible:

1. Access to notification Panel and new notification messages ( Whatsapp, Viber etc) on the lockscreen without entering TimePIN unlock code.

2. To add a couple of widgets on the TimePIN lock screen like Dialer, Camera etc which can be accessed directly without entering any unlock PIN.

If you can add this features, it would really enhance the overall functionality of TimePIN.

Thanks in advance,

Vicky.

Locled out

My Girlfriend seems to have locked herself out of her phone.

Not sure what happened, but neither default nor timebased logins seem to be working, and I cant access the google recovery options.

I've emailed you twice but still haven't gotten a response.

A full wipe is the last option since its a work phone and she doesn't have a current backup.
[Android Apps and Games] Masrepus:
TimePIN isnt a whole lockscreen replacement app, it just changes the pin code on your default system lockscreen. So to implement this you would have to create such a replacement, and i am quite sure jcase wont do so..

Any news on the progress to 2.0? Beta test?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus with Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] GrayJack:
The idea is excellent.

The realization is so-so.

Not very good app because of memory interaction and stability issues.

1. When screen is blocked looks like the app is unload from memory, so it is necessary to become active when unblocking. This leads to that the pin works only from second attempt (or after a small delay).

2. There is no activity check: if the app stops - nobody knows it is neccessary to dial master pin, not time pin anymore. And btw the app shuts down quite often. It could be solved at least by changing wallpaper and/or text color on lockscreen to let the user understand the situation.

3. Wtf is this unnamed service in notifications? OMG...

4. If clock widget "sleeps" during locking the time will differ significantly from the actual one, so the time pin will be calculated incorrectly. This app could at least up the priority of clock widget or at least display the time by it's own stable way.
[Android Apps and Games] Pons:
The dev is working on v2.0 currently, so a lot might change. Now, I'm not the dev of this so I don't know, but these are my guesses:

1) Not sure what you mean, screen is blocked? I've never had this an issue with it unloading.

2) Again, I've never had the app quit working. I also have Use Notification set to Off in TimePIN, and I have my ROM set to hide the notification from app settings, which actually gives less priority of the app.

3) That would probably be the TimePIN notification service that keeps it in the foreground so it doesn't get killed off as easily. I'm not sure since you didn't include a screenshot. You can turn that off (with a warning) in the app settings.

4) Pretty sure TimePIN doesn't pull the time from a clock widget, but from the system clock itself. So it sounds like your system clock is freezing for some reason.

Also, when reporting problems, especially if you can reproduce them reliably, a logcat would help the dev troubleshoot, and hopefully eliminate the problems. What device/ROM are you on? I haven't seen any of these issues on m7vzw running various ROMs.
[Android Apps and Games] GrayJack:
Let's try to make things clearer.

1. I will explain the fact: when I enable the screen it asks pin. I type time pin but it is shown as incorrect. I type it once again - and voila! I don't want to make some assumptions - I'm just describing the fact. So you can give me ideas what was going on :)

2. I use notification but anyway sometimes the app stops without any signs (the only sign actually is disappearing of "blank notification" that was TimePIN notification service according to you). OK, the reasons could be different - but why it is impossible to change wallpaper in this case for example? It's easy, but it's quite informative for the user.

By the way - "Remove PIN" settings doesn't work in my case also - PIN becomes master pin (not time pin), but it is not removed.

3. It's OK, it's certainly this service, because it disappears with TimePin stopping, but why there is no name for this notification? It is not very good as for interface.

4. You understood me a little bit incorrectly. Sure it takes from system time. But how can I see this system time when unlocking the phone? The only way - is a widget. And I believe TimePin should make the widget very quick and reliable because of it's higher importance in this situation.

Sure I can present logcat, but as I said the problem appears not always, so a long period of time should be included in logcat. As you can see in my signature I am using custom ROM with Xposed framework, so I'm afraid the devs won't be very happy to see such huge logcats :)

3. The notification is blank and low priority for security reasons. Like that the app shouldnt get killed by system but unauthorized people cant see at first glance that timepin is running on the device.

4. Well on google stock kitkat the time is displayed in statusbar, also on lockscreen, isnt that the case with you?

You can have log recording switched on for longterm and if the problem appears, look at the time and then stop recording and cut the logs away that were more than 5 mins before. Like that the log you submit is nicely short. I would recommend CatLog as it offers all these features

3. OK, noted, no problem.

4. As you can see from my signature - I am not user of KitKat. Sure I can put clocks in status bar, but I should have two clocks? It's not the best way and I see it is not the main problem of TimePin, but devs could pay some attention to make user more happy.

No point in pressing for a release that might be buggy on 4.4.3 with 4.4.3 reported so close ;)

Way back, there was a suggestion of an attempt to work around the issue of (the released/current version of) TimePIN not being able to lock the phone reliably via a Tasker/Llama/xxx action. If I recall correctly this was because of the reliability of the Android APIs being used, right?

Was there ever an interim fix for this issue and is it something that's expected to be fixed in V2?
[Android Apps and Games] polobunny:
Not the dev obviously, but I was never able to make it work properly with Tasker/Locale/Llama. I paid for TimePIN but gave up for the time being making it work how I wanted. Waiting for v2.

If you find a reliable way, then yay, share it. :p
[Android Apps and Games] WibblyW:
Works for me with Llama, other than a delay before TimePIN locks the screen. Usually locks after the screen has been woken once after the request to lock it.
[Android Apps and Games] polobunny:
That's how it "works" for me too, which kinda defeats the purpose of having a pin on your phone in the first place if someone was to find your phone in an unlocked state, even until the screen turned off.
[Android Apps and Games] WibblyW:
I have just tried enabling 'Slide to unlock' as the state when TimePIN isn't active. I just set it as the phone's lock state whilst TimePIN was disabled. Activating/deactivating TimePIN now seems to flip between slide to unlock and TimePIN, which is ok for me. Key point is now, after enabling TimePIN, it seems active at the next screen-on. Previously it wasn't for me, and this is good.

I think I wasn't clear before - TimePIN could be activated whilst the screen was off (e.g. when leaving my house or car). At next screen wake up away from my house or car it was STILL unlocked. I typically had to turn the screen off AGAIN to get the TimePIN lock screen to come up. Now, using slide to unlock as the 'non-TimePIN'/"unlocked" configuration, and once activated, the TimePIN lock screen seems to come up the very next time I wake up the screen.

But you're correct insofar as activating TimePIN doesn't immediately lock the phone - you have to wait for a normal event/timeout that causes the screen to lock... but this behavior is ok for me compared with what I had before!
[Android Apps and Games] polobunny:
I'll try that. A workaround is better than not working at all. :p

Feature suggestions

Some things that would make phones with these pins un-crackable:

Include the year in DatePin

Example: Today's pin would be 05162014

Suffix (already mentioned in an earlier post)

to make it even more effective:

Have the option to make the suffix the datepin. Doing so would make the pins repeat only once every year. With the year included, 10,000.

Example:

Where it is 12:40 on: 5/15/2014

[DatePin][Timepin]: 05151240

Or:

[DatePin][TimePin]: 12400515

Combine it with the expanded DatePin:

Where it is 12:40 on 5/15/2014

[Expanded][TimePin]: 051520141240

Stretched PIN: Either constant or DatePIN/TimePIN:

Time is 1240 with a stretch of 5555: 15254505

Tasker Plugin to change modifiers:

You could write a task so that the pin is mirrored before noon, and repeated after noon
