This might seem like a really noob question but for the Sense pin lock screen does it instantly appear like the pattern screen or have a slight delay before it pops up?

I was wondering if anybody had noticed this.
When I change lock screen security from swipe to say "lock pattern", it does nothing.
It'll disable other lock widgets, because I guess in 4.3 or touchwiz you can't have widgets and lock patterns (but I digress).
The lock screen unlock will still be a swipe, no pattern.
Anybody else experience this?
Any work arounds?
Thanks.

I assume you changed the timeout for the lock engage?

That baffles me until I noticed I did not change the timeout for the Secured lock time to instant. Then I said to myself, this can be useful. Set Secured lock time out to 1 hour and use the password lock option. If I lost or displaced my phone, it will be password locked in 1 hour but if I use my phone constantly every 5-10 minutes, I still have the benefit of the easy to use slide to lock knowing that it is backed up with a password lock after 1 hours of no activity.
Then I try to repeat this on my old Sprint Note 2, Sprint Note 3, Samsung Note 10.1 2014 and I can't do it. Instead of a slide to unlock within the specified Secured lock time, I am greeted with a totally unlock screen. Which is really bad for butt dialing and accidental touch screen use since the screen is not protected by slide to unlock while it is in your pocket.
It seems this is a unique feature to AT&T note 3.
Try turning off the lock screen effect. I had this problem and I changed the effect from watercolor to none and that fixed it.
I'm making a sort of a "screensaver" functionality with lock screen - changing background every 30min.
Is there a way to keep the screen on, while lock screen is visible? Can lock screen be launched programmatically?
Even unconventional solutions/hacks are welcomed.
I´m not a developer but you could do somrthing with notifications that wake up the screen
It's an idea, thanks.
Summary: is it normal for the unlocked lockscreen to never appear? I only get the locked one. If I turn off the screen and turn it on before the lock timeout, it's at the last app instead of at an unguarded/soft lockscreen.
Details:
Every other Android phone I've used has a separate display timeout and lock timeout. Meaning, if the display turns on before the lock timeout, there is an unlocked lockscreen (that you can just swipe away). It doesn't actually lock until the lock timeout.
But this phone....only ever gets the lockscreen after the lock timeout. If the display tuns on before the lock timeout, it's already unlocked and in an app. You can sort of get around this is by enabling "power button locks instantly", but that totally defeats the purpose of the lock timeout. What's worse is that it does have the normal two separate display and lock timeouts like every other Android phone, but still somehow has this weird instantly-in-an-app behavior.
So basically, it lacks an unsecured lockscreen. Did I mess something up or is this normal?
The only explanation I have for this is that Sony disabled the unsecured lockscreen due to how hard it is to accidentally turn on the display (since the button is recessed).
Please, anybody? In other words, is it normal that the lockscreen to only appears after the lock timeout ("Automatically lock" setting) and that there is never an unguarded lockscreen?
I have two locks on my lock screen. One is the standard slide lock, and the other is a pattern lock. I don't know how I got both at the same time but it's annoying. At this point I am ready to go lockless altogether (if that's possible). Any ideas guys?
I recently bought one for my mom. She has a pin and fingerprints set. the screen does not lock sometimes. when the power button is pressed the home screen is shown and the lock screen is skipped. please help
Have you noticed if it takes some time to lock the screen? Like 5 or 10 seconds?
