I have a cousin that frequently messes with my phone and i was wondering if there is an option or a software that when it comes from sleep mode it requests a code so you can access it, kind of what that iphone has.
thanks in advance
try throttle lock 0.6
i find it great...
no code but you'll see as efficient
see you
try this bro, its what ^ is talking bout
yes its kind this i was looking for, thanks jeanclaude76 & phillyboi6829 and if there are anymore please post them
thanks in advance
I'm using advanced configuration. In the 'screen' menu you can enable auto device lock. When you turn off the screen, the phone gets locked automatically! Works fine, to prevent unwanted things to happen with your phone.

this does not show up in my advanced config i have 3.3 and the htc touch pro for alltel. here is another lock option though
Start>Settings>Lock> then you can set the device to auto lock every xx mins
oh yeah this one too but also wont work on alltel phone
To auto-lock the device whenever the backlight turns off:
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\?ControlPanel\?BackLight\?AutoDevic eLockEnable, change from 0 to 1, and everytime your backlight goes off the device is locked.

noob here. How does one use "advanced configuration"? I've hunted through all the menu items under setting / etc and cant find any way to get to "advanced configuration". Are you guys talking registry editing? I'd like to use the automatic lock feature also.
I have a TP with the stock Alltel ROM.
Thanks for the help!

Question
So it would help me if i had a little more detail... Like what rom do you have and wm 6.1 or 6.5 Also if you have a rom with 6.5 there is a feature like that built in. It has a slide to unlock at the top and you can have it ask for a four digit password. Just pm me if you want to know more.
If you really want what the iPhone has, look into S2U2 in the Development and Hacking section. As of v1.60 or so, there has been a password lock in place. It's not perfect, but it will stop those who don't know all the loopholes around it.

Which version of Advanced Config are you using? I've installed 3.3 and auto device lock is not an option. Psycho_M has the same.

Is there anyway I can change the setting to enable/disable Touchless Controls with Tasker? It would be useful to turn off Touchless Controls at bedtime or when I know I wouldn't be using them to begin with. No clue how to approach this.
but friend, is not necessary! and I couldn't find a way to do this. who will say ok google now during the night?

What.....
I said I want to disable Touchless Controls at night. I'm not using it at night. I'm asleep. No sense in having it on and running if I'm not using it.

i understood, the only way is going to the settings it, and disable the first option
You can do this with Secure Settings.
I forget what the action is called within Secure Settings, but it just does the Android 'disable' for you
Titanium backup can give you a widget to freeze it with a click.
But yeah....4 clicks can toggle it off in settings.

I know that, lol. But Tasker is obviously a smarter choice.

But when you disable it, won't you have to re-enable it manually?

That takes care of disabling it... however, when you re-enable it, you still have to go to Settings to "Enable" it again. :|

Secure settings -> root actions -> package state. When you use "disable" do NOT use "user disable."
As long as touchless controls was on before you use secure settings to disable it, it will be on still when you use secure settings to re-enable it

You've gotten that to work? I tried it with both and neither one worked
Has anyone got any other ideas? It's been a while, maybe there is something newer?
did you figure out how to do that? I am also interested.

Why would you disable it while you sleep? It hardly drains the battery as is. Are you saying OK Google Now in your sleep?
What the heck does this error mean and how do I fix it. I get it when I try to update my credit card info for Android Pay, and also when I try to authorize accessibility for several of my apps (like my password library, Tasker and the like).
Please help, because I am not being allowed to use some very useful features because my own phone won't let me
Do you have Lux installed? Anything that draws over your screen screws with that kind of thing (I had the same error yesterday).
I don't know the exact answer, but perhaps this will help narrow it down:
Settings/Apps/cog top right > Configure apps/Draw over other apps - this lists the ones that have the permission to draw over the app you're using.

It's not an error. It's a feature to prevent tapjacking.
What is tapjacking protection and how do I turn it off/adjust the settings so that I can use the features.
I mean really? An anti-hack that keeps the user from controlling his own phone? That's sounding like iOS, not our beloved Android.....

Ahhhh, that may be it. I'll disable or turn it off and see what happens. If that's it, I'll be a very happy camper because I've been wrestling with this for months with my other apps. Temperature is up because Android Pay is now added to my list.....

you cant "turn it off". what you can do is not use the apps that draw over other apps, but thats really up to you and whatever compromise that decide on.

I mis-stated my point. One of the guys said it might be Lux, and another showed me how to find the list of apps that are "drawing over". I'm going to disable the apps that are doing the deed, not the functionality that is integrated in the OS.
Thanks everyone. I'll get back if I'm still stumped, but it sounds like you've helped me......

Example: You're trying to enter credit card info into Android Pay while you have a screen dimmer app running. The dimmer app dims the screen by drawing an overlay. When you're entering the info, you're actually interacting with the overlay. A malicious app could record the touches and capture the info.
Unable to locate a "Do Not Disturb" software option. Substitute app preference?
I know that we have that button on the side but I'll have to remember each night. i'll miss it sooner or later lol. If anyone knows of an app it would be appreciated.

Hola
Thanks for the feedback, I was literally looking into this like a few minutes ago, and I figured that they removed it due to the physical slider like you mentioned. IMHO, that is rather daft... like the OP I want an automated schedule available to me.
I'll have to look into an app if no know replies soon with a recommendation.
Thanks.

May be Nougat will bring that feature back...
Is it possible to use tasker to switch on lastpass accessibility toggle? My OnePlus 3t (not rooted, OOS 9.0.4) deactivates it almost on a daily basis. I have switched off battery optimisation for lastpass but the phone turns the toggle off.
Use auto input
Ta. I'll check that out
Hi there. Maybe you can try using the "Custom Setting" action for that. Try using the Magnifying glass in the action with the option to automatically find the setting and see if Tasker can find it. Hope this helps!

I found that by googling but I can't figure out how to make it toggle the switch. The tasker forum talks about reading the accessibility setting but gives no more details than 'brilliant that works'

The easy way is to use the Secure Settings action in AutoTools. That has a direct option for accessibility services. I plan on adding that option to Tasker directly at a later date.
With the Custom Setting action what you should do is read the value, remove or add the needed service from the list, the write the setting.
Ta I'll test that

I must be missing something here. Autoapps seems to only control a subscription service. Can't see anything called secure settings when I download it.

I seem to have manage to get the change state to react to it switching state but need to do some adb to see if it works.

I can now get the profile to switch on but I cannot figure out how to get the secure setting to change the toggle.
Both profile and task shows up as green but nothing seems to happen.

No. If I click on the task I don't get an error or the green dot. Instead I get a grey play arrow Infront of the task.
In the profile window both the profile and task shows up as green.

That means that Tasker doesn't seem to be able to communicate with AutoTools. Do other AutoTools actions work?
To make sure Tasker and the AutoApps run in the foreground please check here: https://tasker.joaoapps.com/userguide/en/faqs/faq-problem.html#00

Yep. All those seeking are correctly set. It's the tasker foreground setting I cannot find. Tried googling it but the links I found doesn't match what I see in tasker.
