Yup, all I know is that NoLED needs the lock screen enabled in order to work. Have the same myself but I think I can live with it. No idea why it has to be or if it can be fixed.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
yeah i spoke with the noled dev about it, but there's seems no way to make these apps work together :(

NoLED requires to lockscreen to be able to post its notifications while delayedlock's intention is to disable the lockscreen
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Isadora:
Great app, thanks :) just one tiny little thing... I use minimalist text to make stuff for my main screen and I'd like to keep the style consistent :p would it be possible for your widget actions to be pickup as shortcuts by minimalist text?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
i dont have any experiences with providing shortcuts yet, but i can totally understand your need :D

i will look into that!

edit: okay, done. will be included in the next version
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Isadora:
Ooooh it's there, didn't expect it that fast - thanks :)

Edit: for some reason it doesn't play nice with Minimalist Text - the action is picked up but 2 widgets are created on the screen, 1 with the default icon (which works) and one with the Minimalist Text layout (which doesn't work) BUT it's all fine if I just use the shortcut and make a new icon for it with Simple Text so I'm a happy bunny :D

Can you have the same lock pattern than Throttlelock providing, i mean the initial (lock pattern from android is less powerful than throttlelock... for winmo.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
nope sorry, only the lockscreen which are implemented by the android system are secure. every other lockscreen can be bypassed somehow
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Taomyn:
Can anyone else confirm the following issues with their install of DelayedLock?

SimpleLock screen - date format always in US when my phone locale is set to UK

WiFi plugin - when installed (not even set to monitor), GTalk will eventually drop presence of my connected friends. Can confirm that they are really on-line by using the chat client in Firefox, and if I sign-out and sign-in they all come back. They will then all disappear a short while later. Only removing the plug-in completely and rebooting my phone will fix the problem.

I've reported both to the dev but he's been unable to replicate either issue, nor has he heard of anyone else with the same problem.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
i was able to track down at least that problem. it seems like the android team implemented the wrong date format for UK locale. the getLongDateFormat method returns the same, as when set to US locale. but the next version will give you the ability to change the time and date format to whatever you want - so this should not be a problem any more :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Isadora:
Got an issue with the latest update. I've updated both the app and the wi-fi plugin and rebooted. When trying to configure the wi-fi plug in, I get the message "DelayedLock and DelayedLock trial not found. You need to install version 1.5 or newer to use this plugin." Then the wi-plugin force closes. (though obviously the wi-fi plugin is actually still working fine based on the settings from the previous version, I just can't go in there to change anything!)

I've tried pretty much all combinations of restore / upgrade/ uninstall/ reinstall/ reboot that I could think of and I still get the same message. Galaxy S2 with stock KF3 rooted.

Edit: same issue when trying to access the configuration for the other plugins too.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
thanks for reporting, i accidently delete a line in the apps manifest. should be fixed now
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Isadora:
Jeeeeeeeeeeez that was fast - I can confirm that all is well and working now :D
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Isadora:
Just to let you know that I was having issues with the app behaving rather erratically since the update (sometimes locking when on wifi and not locking when disconnected from wifi)

I wiped data for the app and plugins, uninstalled them, rebooted, reinstalled and set it up from scratch again (without using the start wizard if that makes any difference) and so far all seems to be ok now, so you might just want to have a look at things, there definitely were gremlins at work somewhere :p
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
i think that was because of a bug i introduce in yesterday's version of the wifi plugin. i hope it's fixed in the 1.1.8 version
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Isadora:
Well it certainly looks fixed :) it's been working flawlessly today
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] turbo-omena:
I'm testing with the trial version and I have a problem with waking up the phone by pressing the power key when the SimpleLock is active. The problem is that pressing the power key does not do anything. The phone wakes up only by pressing the volume keys. The power button lights the screen up normally before the SimpleLock is active and also when the builtin screen lock is activated.

I'm using Desire Z with CM 7.1 nightly 138.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
can you send me a bug report using the "report a problem" option in the app? thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] turbo-omena:
Just to let you all know. This is fixed in the version 2.1.1. You have to disable 'SimpleLock like keyguard' option if you have similar problems.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] turbo-omena:
Is there a way to disable the toast messages that popup for example when connected to wifi? If not, I would suggest adding it as an option.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Isadora:
Go to the wifi plugin configuration and untick "show messages" (and do the same in the bluetooth plugin config if you use it)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] pokey:
I have an HTC Wildfire (Froyo stock Sense ROM) & the Market says that the WiFi Plugin is "Incompatible with my phone" ... none of the other Plugins have this restriction.

Is there any reason I shouldn't download from, say, AndroidPit & install? Will it work?

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
the wifi plugin requires a device with wifi (of course) and at least android 2.1. if you fit these requirements, it should be working on your device
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] pokey:
I downloaded from AndroidPit & installed ... it seems to be working perfectly. Maybe you need to have alook at the Market upload & modify the device compatibility settings? I'm intending to purchase & I'd rather have all the plugins auto-update from the Market rather than using AndroidPit for just one thing.

BTW how does the app work when BOTH the Location & the WiFi plugin are loaded - for example if my home location is not entered in the Location plugin, but my home WiFi is in the WiFi plugin? I have 3 WiFi SSIDs & one additional Location (with no WiFi) where I want the Lock Screen off - how should I set up the configuration.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
i haven't excluded any devices in the market, compatibility is set automatically without any chance to modifiy it.

with more plugins it works like the follow: if you're on your wifi network, the wifi plugin will disable the lockscreen, independent of what the location plugin. when you enter the location set in the location plugin, it'll disable the lockscreen independent of the wifi plugin.

if you leave your wifi or your location, it will reenable the lockscreen, no matter if the other plugin still wants to keep the lockscreen disabled or not.

location plugin only starts, if you enter or leave the set location. if you keep staying outsite the radius, it's like you havent installed the plugin (same if your staying inside the radius the whole time)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] pokey:
Hmmm ... so what is it that disables compatibility with Wildfire when the App & the Location plugin are fine? I suggest you at least note in the Market summary that is *is* compatible with Wildfire.

Will you be posting updates in the thread here?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
okay it seems like there's a problem with the android market. at least that's what in the market help center under "known issues":
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] pokey:
Ok, thanks. Very useful App, BTW, thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nlhk:
Can I use the widget icon instead of showing text for the widget display in the home screen? I prefer displaying your icon with different colors than typing my own text as the widget.

Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
i might implement such functionallity in upcoming version. for now, you can use an app like desktopVisualizer to change the icon of any shortcut or widget
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] brahmy:
You can get them working together if you use settings and widgets cleverly.

NoLED only works if the screen is locked. I have my DelayedLock set to lock the screen after 10 minutes of inactivity, but I also have a DelayedLock "Lock Now" widget on the homescreen.

When I'm in the middle of a text conversation with someone, the 10-minute setting on DelayedLock is not aggressive enough that I am constantly re-entering my password to continue the conversation. If the conversation ends, or if I'm going to focus on someone else for a while, I'll hit "Lock Now" to immediately engage the lockscreen (and make NoLED useful).

If I let the phone sit there and allow 10 minutes to elapse before the screen locks, there's a chance I'll miss a notification with NoLED, but I still might hear or feel it with ringtones/vibration. The point is, the 10 minute window is short enough that it's not an impediment to the function of either app.

tl;dr: These apps are both perfectly functional when installed together, but the user has to be totally aware of how they work. Adjust the DelayedLock time to suit your personal habits.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] eezdva:
It's really pity you don't have a free version :(

I don't have a credit card . As many don't . But seems like a good app.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
actually i thought about converting the trial version into a free version. but i need to find some features first, which will be exclusive in the "pro" version then...

Delayed Lock and Androidlost

I run both apps Delayed Lock and Androidlost. If I look my phone from androidlost's website Delayed lock didn't work anymore. I need to disable androidlost in administrator section and deinstall + install delayed lock to get it work again.

Any idea how to get it work? Does it also conflict with other security apps? Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
well, i dont know how androidlost works, but i guess it might try to keep the device locked (as this seems to be the sense of androidlost) when you lock it through the website. so i can't imagine any way these two apps could work together, as their intents are totally different - one tries to keep it locked, while the other tries to disable the lock for some time.

but honestly: how often do you lock your device through the androidlost website?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rickg99:
Can get Delayed lock running

Now tried a lot but don't get DelayedLock running. Every time after booting my Samsung Galaxy S2 (I9100XXKG3, Android 2.3.4) Delayed Lock isn't working anymore.Although it is in RAM after boot, I need to disable and enable Admin lock to get it work.

The only settings that I changed after installation is that it should lock "after screen off" and use "admin lock on". All other settings are default. I had clear data and clear cache for it and than deinstalled it.

Than do a fresh install. (I didn't reinstall the addons). After install it works fine. Pressing widget "Lock now" and it is locked.

Then rebooting. During boot I logged in. After that simple lockscreen works but lock doesn't work. When I disable admin lock and enable it again than lock screen works.

Any idea how to get it run.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
do you use any taskkiller app?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rickg99:
At least no automatic one. And normally I don't kill tasks

If it would be cause by a task killer it should always not work. My problem is that after booting I need to disable admin look and than enable it again.

Otherwise no working lock screen, e.g. I press on widget Lock now but it doesn't lock. If I press "Lock now" widget I get a black screen. Next press on a button I get an unlocked screen back.)

Any Idea?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bbgmp:
Just disable pattern lock?

Just trying out the trial of your app as have moved to Miui from Sense and the inability to set a pattern lock delay has really frustrated me.

One question though... is there any way for DelayedLock to only disable the pattern lock and not the screen lock? No offence but the simple lockscreen isn't to my taste as I currently use one that looks like the attached image.

Would be great if I could keep my default lockscreen enabled and simply have the pattern lock wait 10 minutes or so before enabling.

Is this possible or are the lockscreen and pattern lock linked in some way?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
unfortunately, they are. if you disable the pattern, you always also disable the slider lockscreen. but I plan to add more themes/skinning options for the simple lockscreen in upcoming versions
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sandman2211:
Hey, first off I'd like to say thanks for making this app, it's awesome! I do have some sensitive work info in my email sometimes, so I wanted a security policy that protects the phone better than some stupid 4-digit PIN, but I figure if my phone is in range of my home / work wifi, or any of my bluetooth devices, then it's a safe bet that it hasn't been stolen and I shouldn't be bothered with those lockscreens. So due to the interaction between your app and Sense's built-in delay I was able to fine-tune it perfectly. Unfortunately, after awhile the app glitches and I have to reboot my phone to fix it.

Some background info -

My phone is a rooted HTC Thunderbolt, still using stock ROM. I'm using the bluetooth and wifi plugins. My work has Exchange policies but I'm using a different email app that ignores it, so it's not even an administrator on my phone. I use the Cerberus anti-theft app but it doesn't seem to interfere with the lockscreen at all unless I login to their site and send a command to the phone.

I have the "Lock Now" widget on my home screen and I used your Sense delay to set the Sense settings to ask for a PIN after 20 minutes. Then I went back into your app and turned on the admin lock but those Sense settings persist.

So the effect of that is if I hit that widget it just activates the Sense slider, which is great because that disables the volume buttons and keeps my phone off in my pocket. If I keep the screen off for 20 minutes, the Sense settings take over and lock it down with a PIN. If I hit the power button or it just times out, I don't get the pin or slider screen (for 20 mins), like with the No Lock app. It's perfect! :)

Now here's the weird part - after awhile (.5 to 2 hrs), the app loses the ability lock the phone, either with a slider or PIN. I hit "Lock Now" and my display turns off. When I turn it back on instead of getting a slider or PIN prompt it shows my home screen for maybe half a second, then turns the screen back off. Then if I hit the power button again it brings me straight to the home screen. No PIN prompt or slider or anything.

The only way to stop this from happening is by enabling "Use HTC Sense delay" and then leaving it that way, which kind of circumvents the whole purpose of this app. I tried the "Avoid Locking Delay" option both on and off but it didn't seem to do anything.

Any advice? I realize that's a pretty one-off scenario but if you happen to have a quick fix it would be greatly appreciated!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Quiksilver78:
I am hesitant to purchase this app *yet*

At work I use my phone for corporate email (not exchange, but Lotus Notes) and the app I had to install on my phone, it registered itself as a Device Administrator.

I've been using the DelayedLock app (free) but it does not bypass or delay the password prompt. As soon as I turn off the screen and turn it back on a few moments later, I need to unlock my phone and enter the password every time.

Much like everyone else, I am looking for a way to do away with this restriction, and I am not 100% if DelayedLock is what I've been looking for.

I am also on CM7 on a Desire HD

Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
do you use any other app that might disable the lockscreen? and have you tried the "keep service running" option?

well it seems like Lotus is then enforcing a PIN. it doesnt matter which app you use, if any app sets strict device security policies, then no other can disable them
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Quiksilver78:
Hey thanks for the quick reply.

I had the software installed previously on an HTC Sense ROM (ARHD) and with the sense ROM I was able to set the lock to 30 minutes as a max.

I am now running CM7 and would like it to be able to delay it for say 12 hours lol or something lengthy like that ;)

Does this make a difference at all?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
nope. like already said: if an app requires a PIN code then you can not disable it (with apps, might be different with ROMs)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sandman2211:
Nope, I disabled all of them. I have No Lock installed but I had it set to "lock" which I think just applies default system settings. I'll uninstall it and let you know if that makes any difference. I don't really expect it to because No Lock isn't timer based or anything, and like I said your app works great at first then after a couple hours or so it stops locking.

I did tell it to keep the service running. I'll use the "report a problem" thing next time I see it too.

If you look around a bit you can find a mail app that will integrate with an Exchange server but ignores the PIN / device admin requirement. There's also a method for patching the stock mail app to work like that too. Not sure how that works with Lotus though.

If you get that working, make sure you're still using a PIN or password in combination with an app like this and don't just leave it open. They probably had a good reason to lock it in the first place. I'd recommend a remote wipe app also since that Exchange policy is also disabled.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Quiksilver78:
Just so we're clear, are you referring to an actual numerical code to unlock the device? because I am using an alphanumeric password and not just a 4 or 5 digit code.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] J.Soko:
Hello,

first, thank you for that app, untill now it works on my htc hd2 as it should. :-)

But I'd like to have a vertical slider not only the horizontal slider, you've build in your simple lockscreen. Would this be possible in one of your next versions?

Ciao,

Joachim
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
doesnt make a difference if it's a password or a PIN. you can patch your email.apk like described here --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=655649 or use any email app which doesnt need the device administrator, like mentioned by sandman. otherwise the app wont work, sorry

the next version will contain 3 different simple lockscreen, one with a vertical slide movement to unlock. will upload it the next days
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] J.Soko:
Hello,

thanks for your fast reply! :-)

The your program just will be perfect... :-)

Thank you again.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DanB85:
hey J4velin, thanks for making this app.

I have a droid x with gingerbread and I've tried lots of programs to delay the security timer lockout function to no avail. Unfortunately, I am not having any luck with your app as well. Is there any way I can send you a log for you to look at and tell me why it doesn't work? Thanks.

I need a password on my phone for lotus notes traveler (company IT policy) but I'd like to increase the delay with the screen off before I need to re-enter a password.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Quiksilver78:
Let me guess you work for Big Blue also ... There is no solution for us, I'm afraid :(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DanB85:
Darn! Why wont this work for us? Sorry if the answer is in this thread somewhere.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] faith5x5:
I recently found this app and totally forgot how much I loved a similar app on my G1 and how bummed I was when I couldn't get it to work on my Vibrant. Just started manually toggling the lock feature using extended controls, but I am so glad I found your app. Works really well

Full-Version isn't working - Trial was...

Hello - this is my first post :P

I hope this is the right place for my problem: Yesterday I tested the Trial-Version and it worked :) So I decided after a few hours to buy the Full-Version, which I installed then. Unfortunately _after_ installing the Full-Version, I uninstalled the Trial-Version (I hope that was no mistake) . But now the Full-Version is not working. I did the same configuration like in the Trial, but whenever i unlock my screen (using a pattern) the little lock appears in the taskbar (which means lock is disabled) and when I then turn off the screen I have to unlock again - even though it worked in the Trial-Version :(

I restarted, reinstalled, read the FAQ, read the thread... without success :(

Greetings ;-)

you might need to reboot your phone if you uninstalled or updated the app while the lock was deactivated. if it still doesnt work, please send me a log
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fossil_fuel:
Thank you. Since I rebooted I have huge problems. Several apps (e-mail, messages, whatsapp) crash at the very beginning, the phone boots for 2 or 3 times. Some apps are not working anymore. And when I try to uninstall delayedlock (with disabled admin-mode) it first says: "uninstalled" but then comes an error from "su". after a reboot delayed lock is still there or there again... my phone is useless at the moment...

I sent a log some minutes ago....

[edit]: I thought my log was sent, but k9-mail isn't working either... I made a testcall to my mailbox to check that calling is working, and its english (I am german using a german provider) . This is really strange?! Seems that I have to flash. But maybe you have suggestions first...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j4velin:
sorry to hear that, but i dont think the app can cause that much damage... also i havent received any bug report, maybe your email app already crashed when trying to send it?

i'm on the same device and ROM as you are, so it shouldnt be any compatibility problem
