Does anyone knows if the password prompt after waking the devise can be changed? I had my corporate email set on my Nexus and the password prompt is annoying me every time i would like to change it like to prompt after 5 or 10mins is possible.
Are you on CM6? There are new settings to control the lock out time.

Yes I am on CM6 where are these settings? I been all over but can't find them.
Edit: Found the lock out time, what I like is to avoid the time it takes once locked to ask for password.
I am looking for this as well.
CM Settings > User Interface > Screen Timout Delay
"How long to delay before enabling screen lock when screen times out"
.......
Alternatively you can use the Power Controls widget and choose the "Screen lock" to do it manually.

I think we may be talking about two different things.
I have a pin lock set up. After the screen turns off its quite a pain to type in a 7 digit number each time. I'm looking for a way to continue to keep the slide to unlock screen when the screen turns off, but to delay the actual pin/pattern lock for x amount of minutes

The slide to unlock and pin are joined at the hip. You can't have one without the other. (this was stated by android team member and it will not be changing anytime soon as it's a security issue).
If you use the settings I pointed to you can delay the lock combo altogether for X amount of time. Use the top for when the screen turns off by itself, and the bottom one for when you manually press the power button to turn the screen off.
(I know this because I use a pin code as well, and I just tested it)
I supposed you could pester someone over at CM and they'll look into decoupling it.
You can download an app from the market to disable/enter your password for you if you dont like having to enter it everytime you wake the phone. I personally use an app called Lockpicker so i dont have to type in my exchange email password everytime I wake my phone. Just a suggestion.

I like your suggestion, because our Draconian IT policies force us to use a password after wake always. I will look for the app now.
Thanks a lot.
Edit: this doesn't work with Froyo. Bummer.

I see. I tried what you suggested and it is what i was looking for. I just have a habit of turning off the screen with the power button and never configured the second setting. Thanks for pointing that out!
I really like the way iPhone has setup there lockscreen. When you press the home button you get the Side to Unlock screen after you side either it goes in or asks for a pass code. I was wondering if there is a way to do that on the sgs as well?
Like have the default Android lockscreen when you first press home, you slide it and then it asks for prin/pattern.
Reason i want this is so i can see my messages and song track on the default android lock screen and still have have it locked with a pattern. Plus its annoying to enter a pattern in the car while driving and changing songs so i can set the timeout of the pattern to like 15 minutes.

Watch the first few seconds when he's using the phone
I have a XT860 from Bell and since yesterday when I unlock the phone with the upper button the screen open and I see the lock-screen less than one second and it switch automatically to the home screen.
The sliding lock-screen works only when I set a lock, (pattern, pin, password)
My phone is rooted, and I uninstalled some apps with Titanium Backup but nothing significant...
I want it to work as it use to do, but there is no option like I used to see in CM7 to mess with the lock-screen timeout or whatever it is...
I would do a factory reset.
Yeah this might help but I want to figure out why this happen..
The lock-screen works well when there is a lock pattern after it.
But I don't want it.
And without is not fun when the upper button is pressed by inadvertence.
Stupid question, I have been forced to use a lockscreen on my Z3C for security purposes, however i would like when i change my wallpaper for my homescreen and lockscreen to change simultaneously.
I know on iOS devices, when you apply a wallpaper you get the option for home, lockscreen or both.
Is there a way of doing this on the Z3C that im just not seeing or did sony/android just omit this feature entirely?
Settings-personalization--wallpaper for home screen.
Settings-personalization--lock screen for lock screen.
or
from a picture you hit the 3 dots on up right corner and use as.
the option like iOS i think there isn't,you just have to make the same thing twice
thanks punkyd but i know those methods, i just wanted a method to do both at once.
This has been bugging me as well
Hi guys
I would like to know if its possible to skip the lock screen while using google smart lock (trusted bluetooth device connected). I would like be on home screen after a double tap or press on my power button; instead I have to swipe everytime. Is there an option to skip this?
I know I can do this with face unlock ("direct unlock"), but dont wanna use that unlock.
