Auto lock doesnt seem to work on my Galaxy Tablet. And it only operates with pattern lock installed. But still doesnt actually do anything

I use Tasker for this. I made a Profile that looks for My home network, and if it sees it, it turns off the Keyguard. So, if I’m home, and un sleep my phone it goes to my home page, if I’m at Mal*Wart, or wherever, not near my home, the Keyguard engages and the phone’s locked, and it’s harder to “butt-dial” someone.

Nothing seems to happen on my Incredible. I do have Locale and thinks it’s coordinated with that app, but can’t seem to get this to do anything regardless of the settings that i change. Is there a complete set of instructions for correct setup? Does this work with the Incredible – no Froyo?

There is also a new alternative on the market now.
It is called PatternControl and is also free.

The cool thing about PatternControl is that it can automatically increase the lock delay based on events like “Music is playing” or “Power plug is connected”.

Strange… However I wouldn’t recommend setting at 10 seconds as you it is intended for typically longer extended periods like 30 second to 1 minute is good. Let us know if that works for you.

I love this app! The idea behind it is really innovative, and it’s done way better than some of the similar utilities on the market.

I’ve solved a related problem with my own application, Screebl, which is available on the Android Market. It keeps the screen on when your phone is held within certain orientations.

Hi,

nice program, but on my HTC Hero it disabled the vibration notification with gmail. After an uninstall I got the vibration notification again.

I have managed to lock my phone using this app and it will not accept my email and password. Any ideas??

@morgan Is there any way you can guess at what 2nd email you listed??? Even if I recommended a hard factory reset as a last resort, which would essentially put your phone back to when it was new... you'll still need to login.

@morgan I would suggest going to Google's "I cannot access my account" webpage from your computer to retreive your password. Then enter that in your phone.

Try it again, I’m pretty sure that issue was fixed too. I haven’t been able to reproduce it. I never tried it before the update though so I may be doing it wrong.
