ubfortunately, that's the only way it works on ICS. you can try changing the lock to "none" once the app has set it to "slide", but i can not guarantee it'll work then.

i'm currently using AOKP with DelayedLock install in /system/app and use the pattern lock. in the ROM control lockscreen settings, i have checked "wait to lock screen" (nothing else) and in the android security settings, i've set it to lock after 5 sec after sleep and not checked "power button instantly lock".

that way, i get the slider lock to avoid accidental usage while the pattern is disabled, and dont get any lockscreen if the device was on sleep for less then 5 sec.

50% off - Delayed Lock is now on sale until May 17th
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] RandyN:
Purchased the app, it's great and thanks. I used to use Unlock with Wifi but it's not working properly with ICS.

I'm currently running stock ICS on HTC Sensation 4G and am rooted. I use the pattern lock and delayed lock works great on a rooted device, as does the wifi plugin. Is there any way that I can also disable the slider lock when I've used Delayed Lock to unlock device (that way the device is completely unlocked and neither the slider lock or pattern appear)?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
i'm afraid that's not possible :(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jonny_ftm:
I have i9100 + pattern lock and Delayed lock makes my screen unlock without the slide. When unlocked with power button, i have my home directly
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
but you're not using the "deactivate pattern" method, i suppose
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jonny_ftm:
Yes, have it set to deactivate pattern (root). Was getting the unlock with slide, so went to system security settings, tempered with the lock while delayed lock service active, and now no more slide. I 'm not ready for a clean reinstall fearing to loose it now after your post. Can send you logs if you think it useful
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jonny_ftm:
If I remember well, while Delayed lock was active (lock disabled), I went to system settings/security and disabled the lock (put to none), then back to delayed lock, enable, disable, lock phone using power button, unlock and back to system settings/security to enable the pattern lock. I could try it again to see if I can reproduce it if you like....

By the way, a new bug:

- using widget to enable/disable service. When service is enabled (lock disabled), phone left alone until time limit is reached, so lock is again active. However, widget icon won't change to reflect the status of locked phone. Widget icon remains as set in "service enabled", so an unlocked phone icon

I guess, the service is still active (so icon shown for service active), but lock enabled by service. Wouldn't it be possible to stop service when timer is reached so that widget icon toggles correctly to locked state?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jonny_ftm:
Any fix for this issue?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
well, i dont think i really understand what you mean. do you use the "toggle lock" or the "enable / disalbe Delayed Lock" widget? only the first one represents the status of the lock, the second will only change when you click it
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jonny_ftm:
I see

In fact, I use the "enable/disable Delayed Lock" widget

Even with that widget, the lock is enabled again after the set period of time. However, the widget icon won't change (needs to be clicked as you say). So basically, at that point you have your phone lock enabled but the widget icon showing it unlocked.

Would be great if the widget icon updated when lock is enabled at end of timer
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
well, the widget doesn represent the lock state but the state of the app, so it doesnt make much sense to change the widget icon when the lock state changes.

with the "enable / disable Delayed Lock" widget, you can turn the app on and off. so if you turn it off, you shouldnt get any lock delay like the app wasnt even installed (might be different if you use ICS as there is also some kind of lock delay setting). so this widget is useful if you're in a "dangerous" area and you dont want the lock to be delayed.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jonny_ftm:
I see what you mean now

Sorry, but I guess my particular need is something different:

- enable / disable lock via a widget (this works as expected)

- lock activated again after the delay (this is the unique great feature of your app)

- no auto-unlock with reset delay after last unlock/screen off (this is missing for my own needs)

Basically, was hoping to unlock with a delay of 1 or 2h when I'm back to home. After the delay, phone would be locked and won't unlock again for same delay when back to work.

The "lock/unlock" widget will cause the phone to unlock with the delay after each unlock or screen off, so even when at work

The "enable / disable Delayed Lock" widget fills my needs described above, except widget icon won't show lock status.

I'm missing, in my only case, a setting in the below screen:

- After first unlock

With that setting, delayed lock won't reset delay after each unlock

Anyway, if you have time, hope you plan it and fix the widget icon changing size when switch on/off status bar or rotate home

best regards and thank you for teh support
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] hvihavai:
Thanks for the nice app, I use it on my HTC One X (arhd 6.o rom)

I use wifi and bluetooth options to disable lock when in home or in car. These help most of the situations where I want the lock be disabled. But I would like to have widget toggle to disable the lock for indefinite time when I'm on my sailing boat. Can't use location because I think the area is too large to be useful.

If I disable to whole app, I would need to disable the pattern lock from the settings manually, so widget toggle to set pattern lock off would be nice.

I believe there are other apps/widgets to do this, but it would be very nice to have one program and I like the widget icons Delayed Lock uses.

Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
ah, okay, now i get what you mean. i'll think about that

that's also on my todo list :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] hvihavai:
Thanks.

Edit:

New version works as desired. Many thanks.

Hey there!

I've been using your app for ages with lots of different devices and almost without any problems. Right now I am facing a problem I can't seem to get fixed by myself though. I have successfully rooted my SGS2 yesterday and hoped to be able to use Delayed Lock's "disable unlock pattern" feature. Although all settings are saved correctly and there don't seem to be any problems, Delayed lock does not disable the unlock pattern. The app thinks the unlock pattern is disabled, but the pattern pops up every time i wake the device again, regardless of the settings.

To give you some specs, I'm running a SGS2 i9100G on 2.3.6. Root access has been accomplished by installing a custom kernel (superatmos v3.0), however, I went back to my stock kernel XXLB1 right after (hooray for USB Jig, by the way). Root access does work.

Any ideas on how to fix this? I'll gladly provide every information you need :) Gerne auch auf Deutsch ;)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
can you check if the app is really a system app by trying to uninstall it (there should be no "uninstall" button)?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ragemode:
Correct :) . So the phone should be handling the app as a sys-app as far as I understand Android.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
can you check what kind of lockscreen you see in the android security settings when the lock should be disabled (so when the notification icon is shown)?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ragemode:
I'm not quite sure I fully understand your question, but I'll try to answer you anyway.

When trying to set the lock (inside Delayed Lock) to "disable Pin/Password", a popup comes up asking me for a Pin/Password to be used. Saving these settings worked in all scenarios I tested so far.

When trying to set Delayed Lock to "disable Pattern", a popup tells me set a pattern inside the Android security settings. Doing this by following the settings menu that's brought up by Delayed Lock will not work! I have to set the pattern by manually navigating to the security settings from my homescreen. After I set the pattern myself, I can successfully pick "disable Pattern" (so there's no popup anymore).

When that's done I end up with the problem I mentioned before: Every time I wake my device, the "Unlock Pattern" screen comes up, although Delayed Lock clearly indicates the system should be unlocked. I attached a screenshot to clarify this.

Oh, and by the way, Vibration Notifier is awesome. :D
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
mh strange, i though this method should also work with android 2.x. unfortunately i dont have such a device at the moment (and the emulators are not rooted) so i'm not sure about that.

i guess you need to use the "hide lock" method while you're still on android 2.x
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ragemode:
That'd be kinda strange, since it's been working with lots of Android 2.3.x devices I used so far, a few custom ROMs amongst them. This is the first phone that's feeling reluctant about disabling the Pattern Lock method.

Any chance you're gonna look into this once you got the tools you need? I'm not planning on upgrading to ICS anytime soon (and besides, the i9100G 4.0.x update hasn't reached me yet :( ).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ragemode:
I think I figured out what's the actual problem.

When trying to set Delayed Lock to "disable Pin / Password", the app pops up an input box, asking me the specify either of the two. If I already have set a Pin or Password in the android settings however and try to wake and unlock the phone, it will always ask me for the Pin set in the system, not the on I set in Delayed Lock. Disabling the system Pin will result in a fully functioning Delayed Lock app!

Setting Delayed Lock to "disable Pattern" does not work this way, as the app itself tells me "got to the system settings and set your pattern over there, dewd!", So there's no way I can deactivate the security feature of the system to let the app take control over the pattern. This came to my mind just this afternoon: this wasn't the case on my previous XT720 and MS2 - I could set the pattern directly inside Delayed Lock. Hence, such an error never occurred.

So essentially, Delayed Lock tries to rely on the pattern that's been set via the systems security settings but can't do a thing about it... well, I guess.

Does this help you narrowing down the problem?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
i dont think so. Delayed Lock has never had an option to save the pattern as for the "deactivate pattern" method it only changes a value in the system settings and the system then disables/restores the pattern.

can you install "alogcat" and send me the log while toggling the lock a few times using the widget?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] murraynt:
Just popping in to compliment you on the app.

The only problem i had as when I was setting it up. I used the 'Simple Screen lock' but it would send me straight to the pin screen instead.

I Just tried not using the simple lock screen at all and it worked. It used my default lock screen. It might be worth clarifying this in the app.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ragemode:
As far as I can remember the app never gave me a popup telling me to set a pattern in the Android settings, the whole process just started by itself. But then again, you're the one who knows the most, maybe it's just some wishful thinking on my side :rolleyes:

The log is attached. What did I do while logging?

1. Set lock method to "disable pattern"

2. (Had to) set the pattern inside the Android system settings, since i was using Pin method before

3 Set lock method to "disable pattern" - now it's saved

4. Revoked admin rights and set them anew (just something I haven't tried yet, but that didn't change anything)

5. Tried unlocking a few times

6. Set the lock back to "disable Pin"

7. Tried unlocking once (successful)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
maybe you used the "hide lock" method before?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rokc:
great job :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ragemode:
Rather me having a bad memory I guess. One of the reasons I use Delayed Lock is the fact it actually has the capability of disabling the security lock instead of just hiding it. I never use that hiding functionality. That's why Delayed Lock in hiding mode + Widget Locker will never be a satisfying alternative to a fully functional disabled pattern + stock lockscreen. Well, at least for me, lol.

Enable Wifi When at Location

Tried the trial and it looked like everything worked OK, so I purchased the app. Looks like everything works like I would like it to except for the "Enable Wifi when Entering Location." The plugin works to disable the lockscreen, but it doesn't activate the Wifi automatically. Any suggestions? Using a rooted Galaxy Nexus.

Thanks for the awesome app!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
can you check the "show info messages" box in the plugin and verify that it doesnt work even when the "In safe location: Disabling lock" pop ups?

also your device might turn off wifi again if it couldnt connect to the wifi network within a defined time window. as the location plugin isnt very accurate, it might turn your wifi on even if you're not near your wifi hotspot yet - and then it's off again when you turn on your screen.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] urthling:
I'm using both the WiFi and Location plugins simultaneously and both have their "Show Info" boxes checked.

I don't think I've ever had the Location plugin automatically log into my WiFi. I've disabled the screen timeout to see if it polls for a connection but it doesn't appear to do so. I've also expanded the area of the "home" location so that it ends up in the green circle when off only determining location off of the cel towers (as indicated by the in-app map screen).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
also please note that the plugin only comes active when coming from outside a set location to the inside or vise versa. while you stay inside the location, it doesnt change anything

Deactivate Pattern doesn't work on Jelly Bean

I know JB isn't officially released but I thought I would give you a heads up that the Deactivate Pattern method doesn't work with Jelly Bean on a CDMA Galaxy Nexus. Deactivate PIN/password does work though so that is good.

If you need any additional info to help solve this problem, please let me know. Thanks for a great app.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] urthling:
Ah... that may be the problem then. I will try actually going outside and then into the region.

BTW, if I leave WiFi on even in sleep, the location plugin should deactivate it once I'm out of the area if it works correctly, right?

Thanks again for the prompt input. Excellent app!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tracerit:
hopefully a JB release will be out soon :) I love this app on ICS
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
i hope so too. but i need to have a look at the sources to make the pattern lock work again on JB
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tracerit:
actually my pattern lock is working as usual on ICS. Not sure what happened. i think the guy above me said his pattern no longer worked?

i have it set up to wifi to turn off pattern lock. when wifi is off the pattern lock is enabled again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Laurentius26:
@Dev,

First of all thanks a lot for developing Delayed Lock.

Delayed lock is working fine on my HTC One X but I have one issue.

I've installed the extra plugins, wifi, bluetooth, remotelock and location.

First time I've opened Delayed Lock I could find the plugins and change the settings.

But now I can't find them anywhere in the menu of the application anymore?

Only tabs I see are 'Welcome, General and Feedback'

I can't find the option to scroll down to the plugins section as well.

Any hint where I can find them again?

Hello Forum;

As someone who wanted to just delay the time that my Samsung Galaxy Note's screen turned DARK, I got myself into trouble by purchasing this $1.99 app called: "Delay"!!

Let me explain, when I jailbroke my iPad2 last year, they had an app in the Cydia store called "Delay Control" that simply had the user "choose" the amount of time that they wanted the iPad's LockScreen to "turn on" (i.e; 5mins - 10mins - 30mins; etc) ---but instead of making something EASY like this on the Android platform....I purchased this "Rocket-Scientist" Configuration!!!

If I could give this UNLOCKED Version away, I would, and would hope that there is a "Really-Simple" Android app that would let me "choose" the amount of time before the BLACKOUT screen launches and not make my HomeScreen disappear, like this "DelayLock" puzzle app!!

Can anyone suggest an application similar to the IOS Version of "Delay"??

Thanks for listening!

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Isadora:
First, I wouldn't call Delayed Lock rocket science, it's actually quite straightforward to use, but in any case you shouldn't need an app for what you want, on your phone just look in Settings > Display > Screen Timeout
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
the problem might be that you're using the "htc lock" option. i'll fix that in the next version - as a workaround you could check the "enable delayedlock" checkbox, configure the plugins and recheck the "htc lock" option again

first of all: the app is called "Delayed Lock".

Second: Have you read the app description? I dont understand what you want the app to do, but to change your "screen timeout time" you don't need any extra app...

Third: Why haven't you tried the free trial version if you didn't understand what the app does?

I'm sorry if the app is to complex for an Apple user, but most Android user like the possibility to customize their apps. If you'd actually pay 1.99 USD just for a textbox to change the screen timeout time, then it seem like you have way to much money (so I won't offer you a refund)...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] khaytsus:
Settings->Display->Timeout or something very similar to that. Android has 30s, 1m, 2m, 5m, 10m, and some other options there. No app required.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] CyanideJack:
Hi j4velin,

Just wanted to say that this is an excellent little app. I'm running MIUI at the moment and this was exactly what I was looking for to get around the irritating issue of having to enter my lock pattern everytime I turned the screen off. I do, however, have a couple of comments/feedback:

1) The Location plugin seems very hit-and-miss. Often it will think that the phone is outside the defined 'safe zone' and re-activates the lock pattern even though I've not moved. Consequently it's not that usable.

2) The Location plugin overrides the Wi-fi plugin. If I have both active, and the Location plugin thinks that I'm outside of the defined safe zone it will reactivate the lock pattern, even though I am still connected to Wi-fi. Is there anyway for the plugins to check criteria with each other? For example the Location plugin checks to see whether the Wi-fi plugin thinks the lock pattern should be reactivated, before doing so itself?

Otherwise, excellent little app. Good work! :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] spikefromnyc:
Unfortunately, the comment made about this "missed" (as in "hit or miss") app DelayLock, you can tell those that never tried

the IOS platform versus the ones that have, because I was referring to the Lockscreen of a phone, which the Author of that app had NO idea what I was talking about, initially.

The "stock" timers, in both IOS & Android phones, don't give enough time before showing the "blackout" screen and that is why a "smart developer" on the IOS platform produced an app called Lockscreen Dim Delay, and this is where the misunderstanding came from ---the wording on Android platform is different (Lockscreen oppose to Locking) so I paid for the WRONG application, without the assistance of the Author of "Delayed Lock", who worried that I was looking to get the Dollar back, instead of asking me whether I was coming from the IOS platform & whether this is the first time using an Android device!

Well, I don't cry over losing a Dollar, just the fact that the NAMES (or should I say "wording") of the Apps were the same on the different platforms (IOS./Android) ---but I do get upset when being told to use "STOCK" applications after shelling out some cash to someone that do not know what a Lockscreen of a phone is!

spikefromnyc
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Isadora:
I can understand where the confusion comes from, try to look for "screen timeout" in the store, that should hopefully come up with quite a few apps in line with what you're looking for :)

Though in the case of Delayed Lock, there is a free trial which you could have used first to see if it suited you before buying and the store also has a 10 or 15 minutes refund window after purchase.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
i may have found a way to make the app work on JellyBean with the pattern lock now. i attached a test version to this post, please try this version only if you

are running Android 4.1 (official OTA preferred, no idea if it works on custom ports)

have superuser app installed

have setup a pattern lock (no other lock methods supported in this version)

i think it doesnt need to be installed in /system/data now, but the app will ask for su permission on locking & unlocking (two times each) -> make sure to check "always grant su permission", it'll fail if it doesnt get permission within 2 seconds

i have debugging options enabled in this version, so if something doesnt work feel free to send me a log (using alogcat app for example, filter for the tag "DelayedLock")
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
Yes!!! Been waiting, I will try this today

thanks!

---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 PM ----------

Update: does not seem to work.. in fact no matter what, it locks (pattern lock) my screen all the time now :(

1. use phone

2. press power button to turn off screen

3. press power button again (pattern lock)

4. enter pattern (screen says "wifi connected disabling lock" with toast msg)

5. repeat step 1 (same results)

Going to restart the phone and see if it makes a diff

also.. it did not ask for superuser permission. could be that I upgraded it over previous version instead of a clean install? Should I do a clean install of this version?

thanks!
