Gotcha, I didn't know if that was something your app couldn't control, or just wasn't implemented. I'm curious though, if the security timeout were to be changed and I didn't need to shorten it with your app, could it still allow the slide lock every time and just the PIN when necessary, or will it not function at all?

I guess I need to wait until the ICS mail app is patched, oh well.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
my exchange policy doesnt enforce a PIN so i dont really know how the app behaves with different security policy settings but from user reports it seems like it breaks as soon as there is a PIN requirement in the policies. therefore i put the "DOES NOT WORK IF EXCHANGE REQUIRES A PIN!" warning in the app description ;)

Three levels?

Hi,

I bought this app a year ago maybe, and it works great.

However, I would like to have three levels:

1. Turn off screen+2 secs --> 3 mins: Slider (like you have, SimpleLock)

2. 3 mins - 7 mins: PatternLock

3. 7 mins and up: PIN code

Plus also profiles or similar: Ability to activate a setup of levels based on wifi network or manually set phone to "outside" profile.

So for instance if connected to wifi network x, a simple profile with no PIN code "level". And if outside, perhaps no patternlock (or real short period) but PIN code directly.

Ideas, anyway!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dbareis:
I have not noticed any issues on ICS 4.0.1 (galaxy Nexus) with Pattern unlock and options SimpleLock + Enabled delayed Lock + uses "Admin permissions" + Uses "hide lock" + delay "after last unlock".

Occasionally I do get one glitch and I think the trial dialog causes that, I get two pattern requests close together. I don't think I've missed seeing any other obvious issue :rolleyes:

I am not changing from PATTERN unlock, I will buy the app if this configuration is supported.

Bye,

Dennis
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
seems like a good idea, but unfortunately i dont think it's possible to programmatically switch from pattern to PIN lockscreen etc.

it might work with different pin codes, for example 3-7 min is a 3 digit code and since 7 mins a 4 digit code. but i guess that would get too complex for most users :D

i can only test it on the ICS port i have on my galaxy s and there it doesnt work very reliable with pattern or face unlock. it might be the fault of the inofficial ICS port or due to ICS in general - i dont know. the paid and the trial version work exactly the same, so if you're okay with the reliability of the trial version then you'll get the same on the paid version. but as the needed methods are marked as being deprecated in the documentation, i'd say this configuration is not supported in general.

Sorry, I guess I missed that part of the description. :(

My work sets policy to request a password every 15 minutes, my phone asked for it every time, I think this is a flaw in the phone.

At least when I was previously using the "TouchDown" app, it kept Exchange (work) emails/contacts/calendar separately in its own DB and you only needed to enter a pin when you went into the app to check work stuff (and the 15 policy worked).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dbareis:
I have noticed one issue which I can live with, if its unlocked and I selected a notification it will ask me to pattern unlock before continuing. I will use it for a bit longer to be sure no other issues.

Problems with new version

@j4velin: Today I have updated to the latest version (I had the 2.4.6 beta version you kindly sent me). After that, I wasn't able to select a background for the simple lockscreen and a custom image for the widget. In both cases I picked a PNG file but they were saved as a JPG file with a size of 0 bytes. I was able to set the custom background my manually copying a file into the folder on the SD card but that didn't work for the widget. – Besides that I have noticed that the height of the downward slider in the simple lockscreen was decreased, resulting in a very small gap between the time and the upper border; the last beta version didn't had that problem.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
can you try it with other files? i tested it with jpg and png files and had no issues. did it work with the same image on previous versions of the app? the lockscreen layout will be fixed in the next version, maybe coming tomorrow
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] grschmidt:
j4velin, thank you for your quick reply.

I have used the same PNG files as with previous versions. With the widget, I have also tried a JPG file which worked but that file doesn't have the transparency I would like to have with the icon. – When selecting the icon for the widget I was surprised to see that it was saved as "image_0.jpg", i. e. under the same file name that was used by the app for the background of the simple lockscreen.

I'd be happy to make some more tests – just tell me what to do.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
mh okay i havent tested a transparent icon yet. maybe it fails when saving an image with alpha channel as jpg... i'll look into that, thank for reporting
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] RoberM:
Hi j4velin, i purchased your app from the market about a week ago. Everything was working perfectly till today when i installed the latest update prom the market.

Previously i was using a delayed lock at 30 seconds, Admin Permission with deactivate lock, and NO simplelockscreen. I had installed wifi, Bluetooth, Location, and Remotelock plug-ins. I use Bluetooth and Location.

After installing the update, all is working except Location Plug-in's configuration. When i enter Delayed Lock's configuration and tap the location plugin, it sends me to the market, more specifically to a unavailable app page. The strange thing is the Location plug-in is actually working, it is affecting the lock and so i have it in the notification area, but i cannot configure it.

I tried to uninstall the plugin, downloaded and installed it again from the market, and the same happens, but now i lost the configuration of the location plugin and it is not working anymore (and of course i cannot configure it as it redirects me to a blank page on the market)

Also i would like to make a feature request ;) It would be graet if the WiFi plugin could scan WiFi networks every X minutes, and disable the lock if a determinated network is found at range without being actually connected to it

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
yeah i'm aware of the location bug. i just "implemented" a typo and so the app isn't able to find the right location configuration page. but that will be fixed in the next version which might be available in a couple of hours.

for the feature request: i think that would drain muuuuch battery and therefore dont think that's a good idea
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] RoberM:
Thanks for the quick answer and for the quick fix, i will update as soon as it is available. About the feature request, do you really think that activating wifi every, let's say, 30 minutes and looking for a known network drains battery faster than having wifi enabled all day which is constantly scanning for known networks?

I am not using the WiFi plugin because battery drains noticeabily faster when having WiFi enabled all day, i think making the plugin to activate WiFi for a couple of seconds every 15 or 30 minutes and then deactivate it, would not drain it that much.

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] grschmidt:
I have just updated to 2.5.1 but two problems persist – the transparent PNG icon selected for the widget and the custom JPG background for the simple lockscreen are both saved as files with 0 bytes and therefore cannot be displayed.

Could it be possible that there is an incompatibility with another app on my DEFY+ with Andoid 2.3.4?

Edit (about two hours later): I have gone back to 2.4.6 beta for testing purposes and have the same problems :-( It's odd – before updating to 2.5.0 it has worked perfectly with the identical images. Im puzzled :-\

Yet another addendum: I have noticed that in 2.4.6 beta the images were saved in the folder <sd card>/de...lock2/files/pictures while in 2.5.1 the images are saved in <sd card>/de...lock2/files/ – is there a connection to the problems?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
mh can you send me the files you're using? also make sure they are stored on your device, not the internet and the location is readable (e.g. disconnect from computer etc.). the file path shouldnt make any difference, just though that one subfolder was useless xD

also it works with the images i have on my device, transparent .png files and "normal" jpg files
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dbareis:
Assuming he ended up with a black background then that sounds like the issue I reported, if it is in the cloud then the app should probably report an issue to the user and not change the background.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] grschmidt:
The files are on the way. – They are stored on the card.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
well, i think most people dont have their wifi activated all day but just activate it when they know they're near a wifi network for a longer time. maybe you should take a look at the location plugin and test the "enable wifi when near location" feature
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] exempli_gratia:
Thanks for this app. It's the only one I've seen that actually works properly on ICS (unfortunate pattern lock is not accessible).

Is it possible to auto-unlock the screen automatically? For instance, if the WiFi goes out temporarily, can Delayed Lock re-unlock the screen when the WiFi is reconnected?

A couple small bugs from my stock Nexus:

- Locks if WiFi lost, even if screen is still on. I would think should instead switch to delayed for screen-off at this.

- The "Screen Off" shortcut is not selectable (can't say I want to use it, just reporting).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] i'm a noob:
Hey guys!

After reading through this thread i already found out that Delayed Lock and WidgetLocker should work together. After one hour of trying I still can't get it to work like it would like to. Actually it does the exact opposite...

I would like to have the following:

- after 30 seconds: screen goes off

- after another 30 seconds: widgetlocker becomes active

Between the first 30 to 60 seconds i would like to be able to reenable the screen by just pressing the home button without any lock slider or similiar. After 60 seconds passed I would like to see the WidgetLocker screen to unlock the phone. Right now I'm not using any PIN/pattern to unlock the phone and I would be glad if I could keep it that way but it's not a must.

As I said before my phone behaves in kind of the opossite way. After 30s the screen goes off and pressing the home button wakes the phone in WidgetLocker lockscreen. When waiting the additional 30 seconds the homebutton overrides the WL lockscreen. Pressing no button at all automatically wakes up the phone after 60 seconds... I guess i totally messed up some settings.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 with a Custom Rom running Android 2.3.6 and the Siyah 2.6.3 kernel.

If you need additional information just tell me.

Thank you very much
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
to the first point: that's a security feature and i dont think i'll change that. consider you lose your device but your wifi is on - the thief then just have to be near your wifi network to unlock the device.

also when the wifi (or any other plugin) wants to enable the lock (for example because wifi connection is lost), then it will reenable it and ignore every other setting (like other plugins or the set delay). if the screen is on while you lose the connection, then you'll see the lockscreen the next time you turn your device off/on.

these are the ways i think the app should work to provide the level of security it promotes.

(the screenOff shortcut thing will be fixed in the next version)

first of all, you should enable a PIN or pattern lockscreen - every other configuration is not supported or tested. then just change the apps setting to "use widgetlocker as simple lockscreen" and "start simple lockscreen X sec after screen off" as well as the "delay lockscreen X minutes after screen off" to the desired values and it should work like you want
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] amamdani15:
will give this a try later tonight, seems very useful. will post my results.

thanks for all the work
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] exempli_gratia:
I see your point on this, so once locked, there might be an assumption that it's "secure" until explicit manual unlock. Perhaps can be an option.

Speaking of which, it would be more secure if the MAC address of the router/access point could be specidied, instead of just the SSID (I think harder to spoof).

On this I think the expectation is that if multiple "unlocker" options are in place, the relationship between between them is an OR, not an AND. If the trusted WiFi is lost, the wifi plugin should no longer keep the lock disabled, but it should not override other trusted activity (e.g. BT connection, screen on, etc).

In fact that's how the Screen On/Off works, right? If screen is on and trusted WiFi conn is made, the WiFi lock disable in on top of the Screen On disable. If screen then shuts off for more than defined setting, the lock is still not enabled because the WiFi disable is still active. Probably even more so for multiple plugins (BT and WiFi).

Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mezhopking:
Hi - I've been using your app for about six months on 2.3.4, but I've since installed ICS 4.0.3 (LP6).

I see you've already mentioned that ICS requires the 'Deactivate lock' option to work properly. But when I try and enter a PIN or Passcode, I get this error message 'Your PIN/password doesn't seem fulfil the required quality or length'. I've tried numerous combinations to no avail. Can you suggest what might be the problem?

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
you have to disable face unlock first
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mezhopking:
That's fixed it. Thanks.

Great app! I bought widget locker some time ago but I was not using until now that installed Delayed Lock.

Also the android intents works fine with Llama profiles
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] letsgoflyers81:
I installed Delayed Lock on my TouchPad running CM9 (ICS). I have it configured exactly the same as I do on my Galaxy Nexus (also ICS) but it doesn't always work. When I first turn the tablet on Delayed Lock doesn't actually lock the device. I can unlock the tablet with a swipe and it never asks for a PIN. The icon won't show in the notification bar even though I have it set to. If I launch the app, uncheck Enable, then check it again, it locks so I need to enter the PIN, shows the icon, and continues to work properly until the next reboot.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] xRemingtonx:
Nice , i like it ;)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] milksky:
It seems not useful enough
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
well, i might be possible that the CM guys didnt implement the broadcast which tells all apps that the device is going to power off (every official android version does this), so Delayed Lock doesnt reactivate the lock when you turn your device off. you can try to manually enable the lock using the toggle widget before turning off your touchpad

okay, any suggestions?

Time format on Simple Lockscreen

How do I set Time format on Simple Lockscreen to European format like

18:10?

I set time format to hh:mm but that is only the limited US format.

Any ideas? Thank you
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Brent212:
I'd like to use this soley for disabling the lockscreen while a bluetooth connection is active. I have my phone paired with my car stereo, so that when I get in and turn on the car, the phone is connected within a few seconds and I can play audio from my phone and/or make phone calls with the stereo+mic. It's annoying as hell to enter my unlock pattern while driving, but I don't want to waste battery by keeping the screen on the whole time. The bluetooth plugin seems to be exactly what I'm looking for.

So I'd like for my phone to behave exactly how it does without Delayed Lock when no bluetooth connection is active, but I can't seem to get this to happen. Instead, it seems to disable the lockscreen every other time the screen is turned off. I'll turn on the screen, see the normal lockscreen, enter my unlock pattern, do whatever I turned on the phone to do, then turn off the screen. The next time I turn on the screen, there is no lockscreen. If I turn it off and back on, the lockscreen is back.

In the "General" screen, I checked "Enabled Delayed Lock". Seems like without this, the program would be competely inactive, and won't do anything when a bluetooth connection is made, although maybe I'm wrong and unchecking this is what I want. I also have the Admin permission box checked, and the "Hide lock" radio button selected.

In the "Delay" screen, I have Lock set to 1 second and the "after screen off" button selected, because I want the lockscreen to become active immediately when I turn off my screen (or it times out and turns off on its own)... as I said, I'd like the phone to behave normally other than during bluetooth connnections... I'd set it to 0, but it won't let me go lower than 1. I'm a little confused as to what "after last unlock" would ever be selected for. Why would anyone want the phone to lock on its own after being unlocked? Shouldn't the screen turning off trigger the lock?

In the "SimpleLockscreen" screen, I have it disabled.

I downloaded the bluetooth plugin and added my car stereo to it. The bluetooth part is working great. Once the phone connects to the stereo and I unlock it, I get a message saying that the bluetooth connection caused the lockscreen to be disabled, and when I turn off the car and bluetooth disconnects, I get a message saying the lockscreen has been enabled. The only improvement here would be for the lockscreen to be disabled before I unlock it for the first time after the connection is made, but I can live with only needing to unlock it once.

In the settings, I unchecked "Show notifications", because I'd rather not have an additional entry in the notifications dock at all times, even if the icon at the top can be made invisible (transparent).

Any idea on how I can configure it to make my phone behave normally except when the bluetooth connection is active? Having to turn the screen off, then on, then off again each time I want the lockscreen to activate is kind of a deal breaker.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
HH:mm (see http://developer.android.com/reference/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html)

@Brent212: i think that should be possible with your settings but i'd recommend to use the "since last unlock" instead of "since screen off". it wont lock the device when you're currently using it, it just reenable the lockscreen so that it'll be shown the next time the screen goes off & on again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] GeorgePB:
I use this along with WidgetLocker on a Galaxy R. It's really useful because the stock Samsung 2.3.6 has no built-in option of delaying PIN lock.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rickg99:
Hm, tried that before and on display I get HH:07. Maybe a bug in DelayedLock?

But found in your referenced link that kk:mm should works. And it does:-)

Pattern Lock on Galaxy Nexus ICS

Are there any plans to support pattern locking on Galaxy Nexus / ICS? Unless I'm doing something wrong, this app works but only with a pin. This is a deal breaker for me.

Thanks for having a free version to test it out though!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
as soon as google releases an API to allow that, i'll implement it. but i doubt this will happen...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] moesother:
Shucks. Any alternatives / suggestions?

It seems like such a no-brainer to me. I want the security of locking my device, but not have it lock the instant I turn my screen off. Why isn't this a default Android feature?

Thanks for the quick reply btw!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
i'm afraid the only alternative is to use a PIN/password. or search for a custom ROM which might be able to delay the pattern lock - but normal user apps wont be able to do that any more.

i switch from pattern to PIN lock and it isn't that much worse. as my device is connected to my home wifi most of the time (with the wifi plugin installed) and when i'm out i've set the delay to an hour so all in all i dont see the lockscreen very much :D
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] admrusty:
I am having trouble setting the app to enable a pin lock after the screen has been off for 5 minutes. I have an SGS2 running UnNamed Rom 2.2.1 with Widgetlocker. I have checked the option "keep service running" but frequently I hit the power button only to have it bypass the pin and Widgetlocker only to go instantly to my home screen. However, if I immediately lock my phone after this and turn it back on the pin is prompted and the vibration notification activates signaling the lock has been activated. It sometimes also vibrates only after unlocking with Widgetlocker.

I have Admin checked, deactivate lock, Delay Lock 5 minutes, Widgetlocker set as SimpleLockscreen (1 sec delay), notification active, vibrate upon lock.

I have also tried changing the android OS lock delay between instant and 5 minutes.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] xda-todd:
I am having this same issue. Running rooted stock on Samsung galaxy s2 epic 4g touch with widgetlocker. Would appreciate help. Otherwise love this app.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] exempli_gratia:
Really been a great help with the hassle of juggling security and convenience. Thanks.

However, one issue I'm seeing is sporadic false positives in terms of a lock happening when home WiFi connection is steady. I'm running stick gNex with WiFi plugin.

At first i figured my WiFi must be hickupping, but I've run WiFi monitoring in Tasker, and no interruptions.

Now I'm thinking it might be out-of-memory conditions? Seems to happen more often when I'm in low memory conditions. Is it possible the WiFi plugin is getting bounced by Android to free up memiry, and so the lock kicks in even when it shouldn't?

It does seem the plugin runs separate from the main app, since the connected/disconnected toasts flash even when Delayed Lock is disabled.

Any thoughts what might be causing this?

Thanks again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
@admrusty & xda-todd: do you use nolock, noled, a taskkiller or anything else which might interfere with the lockscreen or the screen off broadcast?

@exempli_gratia: out of memory shouldnt be a problem when you use the "deactivate lock" method. do you get a toast message when the lock is enabled? do you have any other plugins installed which might enable the lock?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] admrusty:
@J4VELIN No, I was not using anything like that. I also tried to dial it in with Widgetlocker disabled and even uninstalled, but to no avail. I have since returned to CM7 because this feature is baked in. Any other ideas would be appreciated as I like the battery life of UnNamed better. Thanks.
