Screen Lock Free Download For Android

Important: To make sure your automatic and manual backups are encrypted with your screen lock, use a PIN, pattern, or a password. Learn how to back up or restore data on your Android phone.
This will now put an icon on the the right side of your navigation bar. Pressing on the icon will bring up a menu, with one of the options as "lock screen". Pressing on that will lock your screen just like pressing the power button would. You also have the option to power off the phone in that same menu.
The app Lock works but a downside is that afterwards the phone cannot be unlocked using a fingerprint, only using the pattern. (Also it is not available from within other apps. So a movement activated solution would be better.)
It doesn't seem to work. I looked at the solution proposed here: Android emulator 4.2.2 not showing add widget option in lock screen but without success. Using the rev1 image (as the rev2 has a bug, filed here: =58548)
To reach the lock screen of Android Emulator, in recent emulators (using Android Studio 2.3) just click the "power" button in the Emulator. You'll get a black screen. Click it again and there it is, your lock screen.
(Android SDK Manager has Rev. 2 of ARM EABI v7a System Image. According to Android emulator 4.2.2 not showing add widget option in lock screen, lock screen widgets work in Rev. 1 but not Rev. 2. I didn't test the ARM system images.)
Press(rather click :) ) the power button twice on the emulator. This will make it go into lock mode.After that , click on lock button again, the phone lights up with you asking to provide pin/finger print/pattern in case you had put them in your unlocking. Hope this helps..
Are you doing your long loading process in the UI thread? Something doesn't seem right - if the process is so long that the screen lock timesout and your process ends, perhaps it needs to go in a background service.
Hello, I've had the Pandora app for years and I've always had a "now playing" type banner in my status bar of my phone and my lock screen. I recently deleted and reinstalled Pandora and now that is gone and I can't figure out how to add it back. Any help? I have an LG thinq8 phone. Thank you!
I have the lg style 5. My lock screen stopped playing the banner after an android os update. Going to settings an the apps/ notifications option to select show all notification under lock screen options worked. I do one thi g different. My show all notifications option was already select and currently still not displaying the banner. I selected another option and then reselected show all notifications and its now working
Located this thread and followed the guidance to enable notifications for the app in the system menu, shut down Pandora and restarted the app - locked the phone and there it was!! Banner back baby. Thank you.
How can you do it ONLY for Pandora. I only see options to allow all notifications or none. I don't want text and email on my lock screen, but I really miss the music player for Pandora on there. Pixel 6Pro here. Thanks!
I've had Pandora for a while now and it use to be on my lock screen. My phone has the always on display so I could just tap it once and it would let me skip or pause songs. Well sometime last year it disappeared and I can't get it back. I've gone through my settings on both my phone and the app. I'm at a loss on why it's not there anymore. Any help would be great.
If Norton prompted you to use a screen lock, it would have sent you to the setting in Android Settings. So you need to go to Android Settings > Lock Screen. Then tap on Screen Lock Type. Enter your current security PIN or whatever you set up. Then tap on None to remove the lock setting for your device.

Device encryption asks me a password at startup and similarly the screen lock is enabled and locks phone right after startup so in this case both should be equally restrictive since both use the same pin.
When you have only a lockscreen, its just like having a human guard that will ask you for a password/PIN. If this can be circumvented or bypassed - either via a vulnerability - which would be equvalient with social engiinering the guard into giving you access without knowing the password/PIN, or if the lockscreen can be forcefully removed, would be equvalient with killing the guard, access is subsuquently granted.
Using device-encryption while off, along with screen lock while its on, is more equvalient with the bank vault being closed and locked during closing hours, and a human guard during opening hours. The guard is more convient during daytime since you dont have to open and close the heavy vault door all the time.
The reason you can't use fingerprint authentication with encryption, is because a encryption key cannot be derived from a fingerprint. Instead, you have to have some hardware that performs an authentication - like the guard - and releases the key upon correct authentication.A fingerprint authentication isn't like providing a password, since everytime you place the finger, you are not placing it exactly like you did when enrolling. Instead, a very complicated mathematical calculation needs to be made, to judge if the fingerprint is enough similiar to the enrolled fingerprint, to be accepted.
Imagine like taking a photo of your house. Next day you see a house and want to know if its yours. You take a new photo. If you would hash these photos or compare them bitwise, you would always come out to a false decision, because the photos will be slightly different lightning and angles.
Essentially, if you have a lock screen and an encrypted drive, I can pop the hard drive out of your cellphone, plug it into another computer, and pull whatever data I want from it one way or another. With an encrypted drive I can do that, but all I have is an encrypted drive image which can take centuries or longer to guess the encryption key for.
Fingerprints can't be used to unlock freshly booted encrypted devices for unrelated but important reasons. -ID is a good read on what types of security Apple employs for their TouchID. Android vendors will have different, varying implementations, but how Apple does it is how Android vendors SHOULD do it. Some don't (HTC, I'm looking at you).
Essentially, the Fingerprint information is securely cordoned off from the rest of the phone. When your phone needs to confirm your fingerprint, it sends a message to the fingerprint processor which replies back with whether or not the fingerprint is accepted. It does this through a secure channel. This channel is initially secured using your PIN or Password. When you restart your phone you need to supply the PIN or Password in order to establish the initial connection.
I had the same issue too. I tested the app on AppSupport before buying a ticket and all looked fine. I bought an interrail mobile ticket via the website afterwards, having full faith in the Sailfish AppSupport, but I could not add it due the lock screen requirement. That came as an unwanted surprise to me.
I had to take an old (ungoogled/LineageOS) Android phone with me on the travels, with a broken screen held in place by tape, just for the mobile interrail ticket. But I ended up having a nice trip. Although next time I am going for the physical ticket that they will mail to you.
I have a droid turbo that I got 3 months ago. I've been using the pattern screen lock all this time but suddenly in the past few days the screen lock just disables itself. I go to unlock the phone and I swipe the screen up and when the pattern should appear it doesn't it just goes to my home screen. I am running Webroot for antivirus security and it warns me that I don't have a secure lock on my phone. I reset the the pattern lock and then the next day it undoes itself again. Anyone else experiencing this?

My phone has been doing the same thing. I used the pin lock and a few days ago it started switching off on its own. I switched to password lock and it did the same thing. It would switch over to swipe on its own. I using the pattern lock and it hasn't yet switched to swipe. It's been stable for about two days. A poster on an Android forum thought it might be a ROM issue since there were other people being affected as well.
I actually just encountered this today, previously the issues I was having were just with the widget (Inconsistent Widget Play/Pause Behavior). Seems like both the widget and the lock screen may be encountering the same issue.
When connecting with the viewer, remotely I see a black screen with a white lock icon. I cannot see the actual Android lock screen, yet the device itself (when having it in my hands) displays the regular Android lock screen.
In other words, what I see through the remote viewer is different from what the end user sees on the device directly. And because the viewer essentially prevents me from seeing the Android lock screen, I cannot enter the lock pattern either. The local user then has to enter the pattern, and once the device is unlocked, I am then able to see the normal Android screen through the viewer.
