Hey guys :)

I just published my first serious app on the android market and would like to give some of you the opportunity to test it for free.

edit:

sorry, i cant give away any more test licenses. but i released a trial app, so everyone can now test it for free :)

The app is called Delayed Lock and simply delays the activation of the secure lockscreen for a user definied amount of time or while connected to WiFi/Bluetooth. You can choose to start the activation timer whether on the last successful unlock or on display off time and immediately reenable the lockscreen through a notification in the status bar or a widget.

Main Features:

Delayes the requirement to enter pattern/PIN/password again after succesfully unlocked once

No lockscreen while connected to certain WiFi network or Bluetooth devices

Time delay since "Screen off" or since "Last unlock"

Quickly re-enable the lock through the Android notification bar or a widget

Widgets & Shortcuts: Toggle Lock, Screen off, Screen off & Lock, Enable / Disable DelayedLock

Free plugins: Disable lockscreen while at certain locations or use the Tasker app to control the lockscreen

automatically wipe the device after several failed unlocks

auto disable USB-debugging on rooted devices (on 4.0 - 4.2.1, not necessary on 4.2.2+)

FAQ:

Here: http://j4velin-systems.de/faq/index.php?app=dl

General limitations:

Does not work if your Exchange policy requires a PIN! (might work if your device is rooted though)

Pattern lock & FaceUnlock require root on Android 4.0+

Does not work on all devices, see section Device incompatibility

Requires root if full device encryption is enabled

Incompatible with NoLED, No Lock & some other apps

Please use the "Uninstall" option from within the app to uninstall it

Device incompatibility:

Some HTC devices: Pattern lock might not work

Some Samung devices: Notification bar might be accessable even in locked state

Samsung Galaxy S5: User reported that after 3 days, the device does not accept the PIN/password any more. Make sure you enable the "Android Device Manager" to remotely change your password in case this happens! Also try to disable the fingerprint feature before setting up Delayed Lock

Plugins:

Location Plugin: Locks when leaving certain locations

RemoteLock Plugin: Locks the device when receiving a SMS containing a defined keyword

Tasker Plugin by Ingenium13

Download:

Play Store

This thread is supposed to be a support thread, so dont hesitate to post any (positive or negative) feedback or feature requests :)

I can't find it on the Market...Is it only for 2.2 Android?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
oh yeah i forgot to mention that it requires at least Android 2.2 at the moment.

but I'm also beta testing the same app but for older Android versions, so if you would like to try that I'll pm you the apk :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] amoramor:
Damn... Is it possible to make it work with 2.1???
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mizch:
The app the QR code points to is a paid app. There is no free version.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
just pm me your gmail address so i can send you the apk and enable a test license. i will also release a free/trial version, but i havent thought about the restrictions yet
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mizch:
Thanks, but it is not because of the half buck you want for your app, it is not even about commercial apps - I have no problems with them.

But I will have problems with this forum if it (or parts of it) turns into a support forum for commercial apps. And your app qualifies as commercial, since, as things stand now, it is not available in another form.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
oh I'm sorry, it didnt want to violate the board rules. i was just looking for some guys who would like to help me test my app on more acutal devices (emulator kinda sucks on lockscreen stuff) and didnt know where to find them except here ^^

i dont think i'm able to delete the thread, but if a moderator reads this...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] kenkiller:
Yes, one of the prerequisites for having a thread here is that there must be at least a free/crippled version for the members to test. Having a sorely paid or individually selected sent app is not allowed iirc.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dominicanman912:
im willing to test on my mytouch4g running 2.2.1
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] PotatoJ:
Really annoying how the trial version displays that screen after unlocking. But it did get me to buy the app :D Good price too.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
yeah, that was my intention :D

it's the lowest possible price in the market, hope to get my registration fee back that way ^^
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] TheocratIssak:
J4velin -

Thanks. I'm actually trying to import my Pathfinder RPG books into Alkindo and of course my screen timed out. Luckily, I'd already installed DelayedLocker and BLAM! no having to swipe the screen unlocker or type in my pin.

I'm on a TrulyEpicRebirth 1.5 with Theme 1.7 - and it works nicely.

This is better in the longer term regarding time than NoLock, as that completely removes the lock swipe (not sure if that app also works with the password/pin). Something that allows me to quickly re-require the swipe/password and auto re-lock would be nice (especially something that could fit in my GoLauncher [or other home program] dock).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
well, to quickly reactivate the lockscreen you can click on the notification in the status bar or use the widget in the paid version.

a shortcut for the launcher docks is also a good idea, i will keep that in mind :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] AcidSentance:
Has anyone else had trouble uninstalling the free version of this program? That screen after unlocking my phone is rather annoying and every time I try to uninstall it, it fails.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
just read the app description in the market, the text under 'Revoke locking permission' in the settings or the 'FAQ' in the first post here:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
i just changes some stuff in the app and it should now be compatible down to android 1.5.

therefore i need some testers with a device running an android version lower than 2.2. pm me your gmail address if you're interested :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] iridium21:
Hi there,

I've just sent you an e-mail about the 1.1 version and WidgetLocker.

Regards,

Steve
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] golightlygl:
Hi, I'm excitedly trying the app as I've ben waiting for this ever since Froyo destroyed my previous solution.

Is it possible to distinguish between the pattern lock screen and the swipe-to-unlock screen. Personally I like the swipe to unlock to protect me from accidental power ons (and I have trackpad to unlock to make it even easier). However, I want to extend the time before the lock pattern comes on from 15 minutes to 1 hour.

Your app seems to elimiante both locks screens in that period.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] simono_pl:
I also personally like the swipe to unlock.

I can small problem with Cyberion Voice Dial, can't dial voice when phone is locked, can you make option to switch lock off when paired BT device is connected?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fossil_fuel:
I have absolutely no idea what has happened and how, but since here are so many errors, I decide to flash a new ROM again... Thanks for your help...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fossil_fuel:
I did a wipe and flashed a new rom. When I restored my apps I thought about possible apps which could trouble with delayedlock:

- BatteryIndicator Pro: There is an option which I like: "Auto-disable Lock Screen when charging"

- When I reinstalled Gentle Alaram a few minutes ago it says that every app which controlls the lockscreen could be bad for the function of the alarm.

Even though I don't think that these apps cause trouble in use with delayed lock (which is working fine so far) I wanted to let you know that and ask, if you know apps which are not working with delayed lock.

Thanks again...

Location Plugin is installed but not recognized

Today I updated DelayedLock and Location plugin. Now the location plugin is not recognized by DelayedLock anymore.

In DelayedLock under plugins in the past I had "Location" + "Erweiterung konfigurien". Now I have only "Location" while other plugins behave normal.

Any ideas. (Of course I have reinstalled & rebooted).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fossil_fuel:
By the way: Like I said I like the option "disable lockscreen when charging" (i know it from battery indicator pro) and it would be a good feature for an update sometime, what do you think?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
location plugin should be fixed in the current version of the paid and in the upcoming version of the trial version.

"disable while charging" option might come in the next version...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] letsgoflyers81:
Hi j4velin, do you plan on having the full version of your app in the Amazon appstore? I searched for it and could only find an older version of the trial, link is below. I have an Amazon credit so I'd rather purchase it there instead of the Android Market. I'm going to buy the app either way, I'd just like to use the credit if possible, thanks!

http://www.amazon.com/j4velin-Delay...Y4XK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1316613817&sr=8-1
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
nope sorry, my app is still too unknown to be profitable on the amazon appstore :/
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] chobie:
How do I set this up to work with widget locker? I installed the trial version to test this out. I have the admin lock method checked. I have enabled widget locker as the simplelockscreen and set delay of 30 seconds for it after screen off. But right after the screen turns off by itself, upon checking, the widget locker lock screen is already active and not delayed as it was set up to be.

Occasionally though, the screen that tells me that delayed lock was working shows up. It happens randomly though and very seldom.

What could I have been doing wrong? Do i need to change a setting in widgetlocker app itself? I just want it to act like sgs2 locking method wherein after screen off, it doesn't automatically display the lock screen in case I was still browsing the phone.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
have you checked the "unlock widgetlocker" checkbox? the screen telling you that it should work is just a restriction on the trial version and should give you a reason to buy the full app (if the app is actually working). i think it appears on every 5th unlock
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] chobie:
I did. And I eventually bought the app. Checked it occassionally doesn't show the lockscreen. Occasionally meaning 1 out of 30 tries probably. And there were times that it wont lock at all. Gave up on it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] khaytsus:
Same, although I definately saw it more on trail version. What I keep seeing is WidgetLocker not show up, goes straight to the pattern unlock.

Another thing that bugs me is that the phone display turns on.. I haven't timed it, but it seems to be at the "simple lockscreen" time as well as the delayed timeout, I think I have set to 1m and 10m respectively. I have "Admin" enabled, etc..

But it's not a huge deal, it's only on for like 10s and it's off again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
well, you need to experiment a bit with the settings in the app & in widgetlocker to get it working right. you can tell me your settings if you have any problems, though i'm not very familiar with widgetlocker

that shouldnt have anything to do with the simplelockscreen because that's just a normal activity (or widgetlocker in your case). it might happen if you haven't enabled admin mode or if you checked the "avoid locking delay" option
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] khaytsus:
It's not a huge deal, just sometimes I find the pattern lock instead of widget locker, but other times I see WL.. Haven't noticed a pattern yet.

I'll have to time it, but it seems those two times. I just unchecked "Avoid locking delay" to see how that behaves. :)

Thanks for writing the app, I've avoided a lock forever because of the annoyance of unlocking every time it goes screen off even for a moment, now I have this app set to 10m after suspend, works pretty well. Still annoying sometimes, and I could set it higher, but then I have higher risk of it being unlocked when lost. :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sandman2211:
I finally gave up on HTC Sense and switched to CM7, liking it a lot so far and this app works great with it!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] lhite:
i've got a droid x running android 2.2.1 -- installed the trial version of DelayedLock and am having all kinds of what seem to be random behavior. for example:

o some times the widget will display "lock enabled" and yet the notification icon in the status bar says the lock is disabled -- i can tap the widget and the notification icon will go away and the widget will stay as "lock enabled", and in fact the lock is then enabled, and all seems to work as it should from there. thus it seems that sometimes when i wake the phone the widget just displays the wrong status?

o some times when i have the lock enabled and i wake up the screen, the screen lock gets disabled without me doing anything at all. the widget flips to "lock disabled" and the notification icon appears in the status bar. some times when this happens i first get the nagware screen and when i close that it then disables the lock, so in those instances i can understand what is happening and will assume that if i had the paid version the nagware screen would not pop up and thus the lock would stay enabled. but what i don't understand is why it randomly seems to be turning on the screen lock when all i did was wake up the phone.

o and one non-random behavior that i don't understand. whenever i disable the lock screen, and then let the phone sit idle beyond the "lock disabled till" time, and i then wake up the phone i do not get the lock screen -- which i should be getting since the "disable till" time has passed. at that point i can toggle the screen off and on, and the lock will then kick in as it should. but this failure of the lock screen on the first wake up is very disturbing, as eventually i want to use a security lock as well -- and the whole reason i'm looking for a utility like this is so that i can be assured that the security lock will always kick in after X minutes, so in case the phone is stolen it's inaccessible.

FWIW, i've gone thru the un-install and re-install and re-boot drills, and still see all of the above.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
yeah, you might be right here. the problem is fixed in the version i'm currently using, but i think i haven't uploaded it to the market yet. i'll update the market version as soon as i'm done testing the current beta.

that's indeed strange. the nag screen should appear every 6th unlock or something so it seems like the app think's you just unlocked your device. i dont know what may cause the app to think so, can you send me an error report the next time it appears through the app's "report a problem" option (in the advanced settings of the app)? thanks

there are several possible problems, but it might be related to the previous problem. do you have the "admin mode" enabled?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] lhite:
fast response -- very impressive!

just sent you a report -- i had the lock disabled until 4:00pm. screen was off and couple minutes after 4:00pm i woke it up and did not get a lock screen, even though the widget said it was locked and there was no notification icon.

and yes, admin mode is enabled.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Tanker Bob:
Same here on a Moto Atrix 4G with Android 2.3.4. I also have admin mode enabled. If I turn the device off after such an occurrence, it then locks the screen. I've had it off for over an hour and still had this happen, but I haven't been able to predict when it won't enable the lock.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] natezire71:
Will you be adding ICS support soon? :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
Can you tell me what doesnt work on your ICS version? I dont have any problem with the app on my SGS with the ICS port
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] letsgoflyers81:
I can't get this to work on my GN the way I want it to. I want the stock ICS slide lock to appear any time the screen turns off, and for the pattern lock to appear after the screen has been off for 20 minutes. I can do this on my EVO 3D with the Sense and pattern locks, but not on the GN. Should what I'm looking for me possible?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
okay, right. the pattern & face unlock lockscreen don't work very reliable on honeycomb & ice cream sandwich since they deprecated the needed methods. I'm searching for a solution, but I'm not sure if there is anything I can do about that.

so for your scenario I'd recommend using a PIN or password instead of the pattern lock. then change the lock method in the app to "deactivate lockscreen" and when the lock is disabled by the app, go into the android settings and select "swipe" as lockscreen. with this settings, you should see the slider when the PIN/password is disabled and only the PIN/password lock if it's enabled.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] letsgoflyers81:
Thanks, it was the pattern lock because it works the way I want if I use the PIN. Oh well, I prefer the pattern but I can live without it if you can't find a workaround. Now I just wish the notification didn't have to be enabled. It works just fine without it on my EVO but it won't seem to stay active without it on the GN.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
the notification is needed to keep the app in memory. and that is needed to keep the keyguard lock if you're using the "hide lockscreen" method (which you shouldnt when on ICS) and to get notified about screen on/off events (needed for simple lockscreen & when using "lock after screen off"). if you don't need either of them, it should be safe to turn the notifications off
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dvfk:
I really like it but I can't buy the full version. Have tried 15 times - says Error occured, try layer. :(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
sorry for that, but as i said in my email: that seems to be a market related issue. believe me: i won't stop you from giving me money...

also i'm not very happy to get reviews based on market related issues for my apps. you can contact google or your bank or whoever is responsible for that, but it's definitly not my fault
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] RussST24:
Hi

After the latest update on my Galaxy Nexus it now shows me a screen after its unlocked saying it worked and a prompt to Buy or FaQ or Close.

Never seen this before and I have the paid version ?

Any way to remove it.

Thanks

Russ
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
sorry for that, i forgot to remove some debugging stuff in the latest version which caused the screen from the trial version to be shown sometimes. it should be fixed in the version i uploaded about 30 mins ago (might take some time for the market to refresh)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tracerit:
dont have time to test it but is it possible to do the following with this app, set the delay for 5 minutes, but have an option (widget or shortcut?) that when clicked will lock the phone right away?

i usually always have my phone with me, but say i know i'm going to be away from my phone and i want to lock it right away instead of having it wait 5 mninutes to kick in, would i be able to do that?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
yes, there's a widget & shortcut for that

Battery status

Thank you for that great app! I have purchased it quite a while ago and I am very happy with it. However, in the newest version the battery status is displayed on the slider in the simple lockscreen, and I can't find a way to disable it. Am I blind or am I missing something? (By the way, the battery status is displayed in the standard font not the custom font selected at "Eigene Schriftart".) Any help is much appreciated!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
yeah right, hidding the battery information is not yet possible but if you want that feature i can implement it in the next version.

i'll also fix the wrong font selection in the next release
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] grschmidt:
Thank you for your quick reply and the offer to implement that option – this would be great!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
i just implemented both features in my personal beta version, if you write me an email i can also send it to you
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tc4101:
Hi mate, i have glaxy nexus/ICS,

was wondering if you can

- popup the keyboard automatically, instead of having to tap the blank space for the k/b to popup. saves user an unecessary extra tap

- have a BIG numpad like windows phone 7 or iphone style.

- once entered the right number combo e.g "1234" it accepts the code without needing to further press "enter". WP7 does this.

if you implement all 3 changes a user can quickly unlock there phone, without needing to look at there phone, yet still have excellent security....
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
well, the lockscreen is still the default android lockscreen because no user app will ever be able to make a really secure lockscreen. so i dont have any influence on the functionallity or the look there. instead you could request these features on the android forums (http://source.android.com/community/index.html) or the cyanogenmod team (or any other ROM team). or you could build your own ROM and implement these things ;)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Abe21599:
this is exactly what im looking for for my lockscreen... though it doesn't seem to work right on my galaxy nexus.

I have pattern lock enabled. It switches from that to the ICS slide lock, but will never reactivate the pattern lock, even after the time I set it to.

I tried to FC it, and still the same results. any idea? i chose deactivate lock and 1min just to test it out.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
as said in the app description as well as in the app's general tab, it doesn't work with pattern or face unlock lockscreen on Android 4.0 due to changes in the API. you need to switch to a PIN or password lockscreen and select the "deactive lockscreen" method in the app to make it work on ICS
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] letsgoflyers81:
I just added an Exchange account to my Galaxy Nexus and now the PIN lock comes up every time I turn the screen on. The security policy that's being enforced requires the PIN every two minutes. I assumed Delayed Lock would get around this but even if it doesn't, it's strange that the PIN is required every time the screen turns on even if it's only been off a few seconds.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
yeah, it doesnt work if your exchange enforces a PIN and there is nothing i can do about that unless you patch your email.apk: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=655649
