I am running MS voice command 1.6.19964 with the password protect option switched off so that i can run commands from the lock screen. But for some unknown reason it no longer works from the lock screen. I have checked and unchecked the 'password protected' option, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I have found the key in the registry and it switches from 0 to 1 and 1 to 0 when I check and uncheck the password protect option but it still does not work on the lock screen.
Any Ideas?
You may want to try reinstalling. Also may depend on what lock screen you have and your version of MSVC.
It works on mine with CHT Lockscreen and MSVC 1.6.19965
I have already tried reinstalling it which didnt fix it. I am running the HeartofWolf lock screen and it was working ok but I must have messed around with a setting somewhere and it stopped working.
I have just uninstalled and reinstalled the lock screen and now it works as long as it is connected to the car kit. If it is not connected to the car kit it still does not work. This is a compromise I can live with as I only use voice commands when I am driving.

I just bought HTC Touch 2. Everything was ok, until I activated ActiveSync together with company Exchange email service.
From this time I always get "unlocking form" when I switch off display.
I checked Activesync setting, and there is configured, that locking code should be requested after 60 minutes.
But it locks just after several minutes of non working, or just after display switch off.
I already downloaded "advanced configuration tool", but still I am not sure, where and what to reconfigure.
Thanks a lot for help
Wrong forum, but anyhow, check the settings menu, lock icon on your phone. When enabled, the device locks automatically upon connection to prevent your data.
I am sorry for wrong forum, just now I realizet that I am on wrong place.
But still, is somehow possible to set it that way, that it locks really after 60 minutes (what is configured in activesync ...)
Its really anoying to unlock every minute the phone.
I asked my friends with another type of HTC and they do not have such problems ...
I have to say, that also my company pushes some policy every 60 minutes, so some temporary solution does not fit for me...
I thought a while back I saw an application on the Market that would enable or disable the lock screen based on what SSIDs the device could see. I thought this would be a good idea for my Android devices, since I'm usually either at home or at work, and both places have WiFi. It would be bothersome to have to enter a lock code every time I want to use a device, but would be great to require that if I'm away from home.
I know I saw an app that does this, but for the life of me, I cannot find it!
Edit: Should clarify, it doesn't disable the lock screen, it disables the passcode - basically when it sees particular SSIDs, it disables the passcode. Then when you're not in range of those SSIDs, the passcode is required.
Yep, I was looking for this too and found your post. Then I remembered something I'd seen before:
www.symonds.id.au/marcopolo/
There's a link on that page for a modified version of it for Snow Leopard, you'll need to get it if you want to lock/unlock your PC based on your AP's MAC/essid and run 10.6.
Let us know how well it works for you! I'm using it for a simple case: keeping my computer locked at work, unlocked at home.
Hi!
I've got a serious problem accessing my TF701T. My daughter had set a pattern lock to the tablet and... now she can't remember it.
The tablet is not rooted, not unlocked and I don't know if I had USB debugging enabled....
I tried several patterns in the hope of accessing the tablet by using my google account. But unfortunately it never shows this dialog option. After some wrong tries I have to wait 30 seconds to try again....
I also tried to set a new password via the Google Device Manager. The GDM locates the device and when I "lock" the tablet with a new password (e.g. 1234) it turns out. Back on it shows the (optional) text message but there's no textbox to enter the new password. Also the GDM says that the device is already locked and a new password is not necessary.
Does anyone can help me (without doing a factory reset)?
Thanks in advance,
Michael
Ohhh... yeahh!!! After 100+ tries I found the right 5-dot pattern!
It's a solution that satisfies my needs but it could be interesting to know a technical solution.
IMPORTANT: Only valid for Android 6 (Marshmallow)!
Description of problem
The lock screen functionality adds some protection against others randomly using your phone, but some people prefer to not have this function on their phone. The reason may be that it is a waste of time to have to write in the PIN/password every time the screen has been locked, plus maybe you feel that you can protect your phone well enough from others even without a password. The problem is that if you have ever activated the screen lock function by adding a password, the Honor 4x does not offer an option to revert back to not having a password. Some people on the internet suggest going to Developer settings, where there should have been an option for disabling the screen lock. But on our phone, this option is disabled (still visible in gray color).
Solution
The usual solution in such a situation is to wipe your phone and do a factory reset. I actually saw a representative for Huawei write this as a solution for this problem. But there is a much simpler and faster way. The purpose of this guide is to show you how you can easily go back to no screen lock without doing a factory reset.
We will use the program 'adb' (android debug bridge) to reset the settings. You also have to delete three files so your phone (android) no longer thinks that you have a password installed. When the password is set, these files are created and android will check for them later to find out if you have the password set, so they must be deleted.
First make sure you have adb installed and that your phone has enabled USB debugging mode in Developer settings. Connect your phone to your computer with a USB data cable and check that your computer has permissions to operate on your phone by typing:
Code:
adb devices
This should list your connected devices as a code on the left and 'device' on the right. If instead of 'device' it says 'no permissions', you have to go to Developer settings on your phone and revoke all USB debugger permissions, then disconnect and reconnect the cable. This will make a window pop up on your phone asking to give permission to USB debug mode for your computer. Click on the "don't ask again" option and then OK. Now we're all set, and can go through the required steps. Type one line at a time:
Code:
adb shell
su
settings put secure lockscreen.disabled 1
rm /data/system/locksettings.db
rm /data/system/locksettings.db-shm
rm /data/system/locksettings.db-wal
reboot
And voila. Your password protected lock screen should be removed, and you can enjoy the time saving during your day and not having to punch the code every time. If you want the password back later, just go to Settings and "Screenlock & passwords".
This solution was originally posted by user dp5l6dph5l24 in this post. I have tested this on a Honor 4x (Che2-L11), with kirin chip. If anyone has improvements to this how-to, feel free to add suggestions/improvements. Mainly it's nice to have this posted as a reference, for convenience, as in my experience this is a quite common problem.
Thanks man..this will definitely help..

Awesome script. all though it did not work for me on my Nokia G300 would you please help me find a way to get past this on the G300
I need a Lock Screen work a round....
Nokia G300 running Android 11, aoki, sm_emmc
Ive got adb and have privileges set elevated and a win 10 laptop. but i only have this laptop for a day or 2.
I will even root it if the possibility arises..
I have no access on the phone.
I can only put it in Fast Boot with no option of Factory Reset
So please help me
The goal: if my phone is connected to my car (and the car is turned on), unlock it automatically.
I keep a spare phone in my car connected to Android Auto (and hidden) so I don't have to keep plugging in my more expensive phone daily. Since it is also connected to my carrier and google accounts, I lock the phone. I have SmartUnlock set to keep the phone unlocked when bluetooth is connected to my car. This works for keeping the phone unlocked once unlocked, but it does not unlock the phone. I still have to do that manually with my fingerprint or passkey. Any idea how to automatically unlock the phone when connected to the car (and the car is on)? If my car is broken into and the phone is stolen I want the phone to remain locked. I am going to take the risk that if the keys are present (thus the car is on and the phone is connected to bluetooth & via cable), it's ok to unlock the phone automatically. If someone steals my car with the phone, then I'm screwed. But I'll take that risk.
Basically here is the problem with the built-in auto-unlock (from official instructions):
Important: When you don't use your device for 4 hours, and after it restarts, you'll need to unlock it.
Which means almost every time I use my car!
I've also tried google assistant voice unlock, but that only works if I don't have another lock method in place, which is not safe.
In case it matters, the spare phone is a Moto X4 with Oreo, not rooted. I'm on Google Project Fi, which allows multiple data-only SIMs on the same account. I have my voice SIM in the Android Auto phone and a data-only SIM in my main phone that is not directly supported by Project Fi.
Maybe something like this ?

Sadly, unlocking the phone is not one of the supported actions of this app.
Did you consider a different approach? Like using AAGateway ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/ge...droid-3-0-proxy-gateway-android-auto-t3813163 ) for wireless AA connection?
It's the solution I use. I have an S4 mini running CM13 permanently connected to the car, only running AAGateway. No Google account and no other apps.
Using Automate scripts on both master and slave so AA connection starts automatically when I enter the car.
Android can do this already. Trusted Devices. Bt unlocks your phone when the trusted Bt device connects.

That's intriguing, but it doesn't solve everything I need in the spare phone.
1. The spare phone acts as a spare - if I forget or lose my phone, I can grab the spare phone from the car. Happens about once per month.
2. My main phone is not Project Fi compatible, and thus only works on LTE, no voice. I can use Hangouts Dialer to manually dial numbers for VoLTE, but that doesn't work through Android Auto. My cheap spare phone is Project Fi compatible and can dial voice via Android Auto.
3. My main phone is rooted and thus there is a thing or two it can't do - if I need to do those things, I can grab the spare phone (though admittedly playing PokemonGo is the only thing falling into that category thus far).
So the spare phone stays - I just need it to auto-unlock when I turn on the car.
Did you solve this? I have exactly the same problem. I need to have my phone unlock automatically when linked to my car bt. Not just stay unlocked, but actually unlock when connected.

See the attached Tasker screenshots for how I do it. The swipe is just a swipe up to get to the password prompt screen and %PASSWORD is set as my unlock password. The steps you see there are triggered by BT Connected to my Mazda. You will need Tasker and the AutoInput plugin

I configured it nearly the same now and my keyboard is gone after the task was running.
Did you find a way to set it back after the tasks stopped?

No sure what you mean? My keyboard never disappeared? Make sure you have a default input mode selected in your Android settings maybe, Tasker plugins can sometimes clear that.

Thanks for your fast reply.
That has happend, it has cleared the seetings for my default input method.
Maybe it was an one time issue. I'll try it again later.

Thanks much! I will give this a try - once I use the car again often enough to keep the phone in it charged.

The problem stays. If the profile runs, tasker will be set as default input method.
Is it possible to create an new task if the bluetooth connection get lost?
I've tried it with "Input" + "Choose Input Method" but I have no glue what has to be entered there.
