Entering PIN after bootingHi

Hi,
perhaps there's a very simple answer to my question. After booting my DIAMOND, there's the original dialpad for a very short time. I couldn't enter the pin. Then it shows "network unreachable". Ok, without Pin, it's ok. But why i can't enter my pin after booting?

im not sure if the problem i have is related, but about 50% of the time when i reboot the phone it goes to windows home screen without asking for a PIN.
It does not load TF3D its just a plane black today screen with calander at the bottom.
If i go comm manager and turn off then on "phone" or "airplane mode" this forces the device to ask for the PIN
after successful PIN entry the phone works as normal!!! bizzare
This has happened with every ROM i have tried so i can only assume its a problem with my device or the 3rd party software i introduce to it after i flash the ROM.

I have this too. But I just press the "Phone call" hardware button and then the screen where you can enter the PIN appears.

Ok, that works, but my question is: why it shows the screen "Enter pin" and i can't entering it?

SIM PIN on Startup

I'm used to enter my SIM PIN before the Today screen is displayed. So the X1 connects to the mobile network before you start working with the phone.
But now the X1 starts WM and i have to click manually on the phone settings to enter the PIN. SIM Pin is turned on.
Is there any way to get a "auto SIM PIN screen" on startup?
Actually i forgot to note that i get a PIN Screen on Startup. But just for a few seconds and you cannot type in any number. It then fades and the today screen is displayed. I think there's something going wrong. mh.
Thanks for your advise!

I was wondering the exact same thing. The thing displays for a second then goes into loading today screen leaving you manually starting the SIM PIN screen.

This is a sideeffect of xperiaTweak, it's been discussed here already. A simple search could have given you the answer.
There is no fix for this right now but it should not matter -either you can simply press the green phone-button, then you can type in your PIN, or you just deactivate the PIN-code.

its not xperia tweak,, because the moment i got this phone, i am grumbling about this already... i think its PANELS

I have the same problem exept i used to be able to enter my pincode but now i only get the first 2 numbers then it just "logs on" by itself... i don't think its TweakXperia either coz it worked before and i hade it than to...and when i check the conn manager it says the phone is on, not i flight mode or anything else... so weird!

Could be too. This behavior started the moment I installed XperiaTweak so I thought this program is the one to blame.
Maybe it's just to wait for the firmware update. And after all, how often do you softreset your phone? I installed all the programs I need and now it's weeks before I restart the device.

Actually I've installed xperia tweak, but I did not use it. Changed some chache sizes with advanced config.
I think it happened the first time after i allowed Sprite Backup to automatically enter the SIM PIN. But turned that feature off and the programm is not on auto start ... as far as I know.
Ah and I searched the forums and found nothing about sim und pin .
I "soft reset" my phone on most evenings by pressing the On key and selecting to turn the device off. There's no need for the phone to be on standby when I'm sleeping.
I think I'll do a hard reset and take a look when my SIM PIN Menue is disappearing.

I simply removed simlock. I rarely turn the phone off, so there is little chance it would work.

Well there's the difference!
I turn it off more often. Btw, Soft Resets once a day are recommended by SE on their X1 site. To "clean up memory" . hehe
And its quite nasty to go to the PIN menu manually all the time.

I usually just press the call button and the phone brings up the PIN menu. This is quite an easy way I think...you don't have to navigate too much this way.

Tell that to my Nokia 1208 I still have somewhere. 7 weeks of battery lifetime and no "memory cleaning"
On topic: WHen the PIN code screen shows up, just type it in and press ok without waiting for a response. On my X1 it usually works, the screen hangs but the PIN gets entered.

Pressing the call button is faster, but still manually.
I did a hard reset on my device and payed some attention to the SIM PIN screen.
After the reset, with no external programms installed (original stock rom) the PIN screen appeared every time, soft reset and complete shut down.
But after I installed the first programms (in this case advanced config and advanced task manager) the SIM PIN screen started to fade away. Surprisingly it seems to be random now. Sometimes the screen fades and the today screen is shown, and on the other side the pin screen stays up until I entered the SIM PIN.
As for today:
Turned mobile phone off over the night.
First start today: SIM PIN screen stayed up.
Soft reset: SIM PIN screen stayed up to.
Yesterday the SIM PIN screen faded away for every Soft reset i made. I've installed a bunch of programms (My_flash, Youtube App, Skyfire, ...).
Until now I have NOT installed Xperia Tweaks! I'll see if the randomness fades with that installed.

Perhaps this occurs, when a programm running in the background causes the (phone) PIN screen to minimize. Sometime it went away when F-Secure wants to update definitions.
No XperiaTweak installed yet and still no SIM PIN screen fade away pattern .
Maybe XperiaTweak also runs in the background on startup, panel switcher or what ever. You could take a look at this .

i noticed that if i start entering the code immediatly after it appears , it is enough time to enter it(6 char) and press enter.Anyway i don't mind pressing the green key once in order to enter PIN

Bump out of curiosity. Is there a solution for this?

[Q] Encryption - not being prompted for password at boot

I restart my phone daily, and after powering off, when I start it, I initially get the swirling dots, and then the screen to enter my pin ( white screen - not the lock screen). After I enter the pin, in get swirling dots again, and it then show me my home screen..
That is the normal behavior... Worked fine every day... Till today.
Today, when I powered off, and powered on, I never got the initial screen to enter my pin. After the swirling dots, it took me straight to my lock screen and asked for my pin. No idea what changed. I didn't decrypt my phone. Settings/ security still shows encrypted. I've restated 3 times, no difference. Straight to lock screen. Any ideas as to what has happened?
I'm on stock 5.0.1, rooted with auto root, boot loader unlocked. Nothing else. No change since the day I flashed 5.0.1 images. I did not disable encryption.
Edit: the only thing that comes to mind is that I installed last pass premium, and enabled it in accessibility. I then removed the app ( didn't like it) - not sure if that could have caused this issue?)

Looks like it is a known bug

I also had that problem, for me was the solution to go to security and change my password what i have set. So I don't select pin but password. Then restart the phone. If right is will ask for you password. And then go to you lockscreen. If it works you can switch back to pin again. Hope it helps

thank you for trying to help the op amyways

FWIW- I'm having this problem now/still... On two devices, oddly/incidentally.
I posted this elsewhere... But I'm having the same problem. Any thoughts? I can post more details, but don't want to repost this everywhere that I see people having the same unresolved problem.
---
* It used to be that when I did a reboot or shutdown and restart, I would have to enter a password before the system fully started.
* But now the phone boots into the phone without putting in my password. I can reboot the phone and it will boot all the way to the Lock screen, and I can unlock the lock screen with my fingerprint or my backup password.
* I am concerned that somehow my device is either no longer encrypted or that there is some setting which has stored the boot password.

I just got this too after I've uninstalled Greenify, which adds an Accessibility app, and I guess it triggered this.
Reset your password/PIN again, check the "ask at boot" option and that's it.

Startup PIN lock fail after 5.1 update

Sideloaded 5.1. When it reboots (tried several times), it quickly gets to the device boot pin screen, where it used to sit forever until you entered the pin. Now, it will show the screen, but continue to boot behind the scenes. When you swipe up to unlock after boot, you get the keypad from the original boot pin screen, and the whole thing hangs. I've tried this several times and also disabled/reenabled PIN. NO luck.
Only way past is to immediately enter boot pin when the screen appears, but before finishing the full boot.
Second problem that many are having - trusted places (home/work) do not function after update. If you revert Google Play Services back to pre v7, it works again. I'm sure Google is all over this as many are talking about it.

**UPDATE**
More troubleshooting reveals that this happens only when you have both a startup PIN and SIM pin lock on the phone. If I remove the SIM lock pin, then it boots correctly, stopping at the startup PIN screen until entered. If I add a SIM pin, then it boots "through" the startup PIN, to the SIM PIN screen. Upon entering SIM pin, it takes you to regular lock pin screen, where it immediately hangs until reboot.
Anybody else experiencing this? Both pin's worked fine under 5.0.1

Strange battery problem (Xiaomi mi a2)

Hello,
I am facing a strange problem with xiaomi's battery. Sometimes the device turns off without warning. After shut down it starts up normally but cannot enter the Android system, when I insert the unlock pattern it tries to boot (only wallpaper showing) for 2-3 seconds and then shuts down again. The only way to avoid this state is to plug the charger and let it charge for several minutes. After this all are working properly. Any ideas??
I forgot to mention that if I don't enter the unlock pattern(try to enter Android system) the device will remain open.

Well, that's a mistery. Did you try to do factory reset?

Huh.. yuck. That's weird. Try resetting your phone. If it still doesn't work, it's probably the battery?.

I haven't tried factory reset yet. I think that is something more software oriented because it occurs when the device tries to load Android system. Something like an application bug. Probably factory reset will do the job. I'll let you know.
