Intermittent lock screen PIN input on Yoga 13

About 1/3 of the time when I swipe the lock screen on the Yoga 13 to enter a PIN, I get a large touch screen PIN pad that pops up to touch the digits, which is the desired outcome. Why is it that the other 2/3 of the time there is no pop up and I must enter the digits from the keyboard rather than being presented with the touch screen input option?

Any update on this? I think there is a major bug in their software. I find that if you lock your screen and wake while in laptop mode, the virtual pin pad will automatically appear and stay there until you finish typing your pin. If you lock your screen and attempt to wake while in stand, tent, or tablet moden, the virtual pin pad does not automatically appear. In addition, while in these modes, when you press the input prompt to make the virtual pin/keyboard appear, it only appears for brief moment and then disappears-sometimes even while you are still typing. This is definitely a bug. I bought this laptop yesterday and found this issue within 30 minutes of playing with it at home. I submitted a help ticket yesterday regarding this issue. The tech eventually had me restore to factory conditions. After installing all the latest updates, I cam CONFIRM that this issue STILL persists! This is not me accidentally tapping outside of the pin/keyboard and causing it to minimize. This does it all on its own, and the tech was supposedly able to see this issue when he remotely took over my laptop. I have Yoga 2 2-in-1 11 inch.

Cannot change lock screen pin or to swipe

Hi,
I've just installed an app for my company wifi which requires the phone to have a lock screen. I chose a swipe pattern initially. After installation I wanted to change the pattern but the phone keeps asking me to enter the initial swipe pattern repeatedly. It recognizes the correct pattern but keeps asking me for the pattern for some reason.
I used the Android device manager to change it to a pin number and now Im stuck with a pin number only, ie I cannot change it to swipe. I also cannot disable the screen lock as well.
Please help. My phone is a Lenovo S90
Rgds.

Hi unicorn,
I think I know what is the issue here. Whenever I setup the MS Exchange on my phone, there is a need to use PIN (6 characters) as a security. Swipe is no longer an option.
This is the same for all Android phones as this is a security feature setup by your company's Exchange server and in order for your mails to go into your phone there is a need to setup PIN (6 characters min or text).
Let me know =)

Regarding the new update and lock screen backgrounds. Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 10 Android

Has anyone figured out how to change the lock screen background for the Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2s yet?

Yes that is correct! Serene! I received the Yoga Tablet 2 10 from you.
The Yoga Tablet 10 I used in the comparison and the benchmarks was the one I won from Lenovo Belgium.

Bypass Lock Screen PIN

Hey there,
I was trying to unlock my iphone and ran across something. I wanted to see if others are able to do this too.
With your phone locked, with a PIN enabled, are you able to bypass your PIN number by just preseing the lock button and then the home button?
It seems to work everytime on my phone with 8.1.2.
Anyone??

I have a 6PLUS with Touch ID enabled.
It happens when you press the lock button and then the home button. Not just touching the home button like when you use the Touch ID.
Funkyyyy...

Ios7 lock screen emergency calls

Does the "Emergency" button on the ios7 lock screen/PIN entry screen (lower left of screen) bring up a keypad or dial 911 directly?

Depending on where you are located you, this "911" feature is to call for emergency help, even though the iPhone is locked. This feature will still work if the iPhone is in the United States even if it does not have an active service going to if from a cellular carrier.

(SOLVED) Lock screen suddenly doesn't work as expected

It doesn't matter which lock screen (PIN, swipe, etc.) I choose, after the first unlock (after a reboot or change of lock screen), the phone no longer locks. Using the power button to lock doesn't work and I have the phone set to lock right away on sleep. It was working fine a few hours ago and there wasn't anything new I did to the phone.
Any ideas?
Solved!

Hello, I feel pretty dumb. I must've hit the "Disable lock screen" option in the BatteryBot Pro app by accident...I forgot it even had that option.
If anyone's curious how I solved this, I inspected system messages using OS Monitor while reproducing the problem (ie, flipping through lock screen options and turning off/on the screen) and kept seeing the app's name coming up as well as a few others. I'm not sure why it started disabling the lock screen today though; I'm pretty sure I didn't touch the app in the last couple days.
Anyway, sorry for any inconvenience.

Yoga 8 and 10 - KitKat 4.4.2 - Lock Screen Display

After upgrading to KitKat 4.4.2, some customers report the lock screen on their Yoga 8 or 10 tablets (B6000-F/H or B8000-F/H) does not display the application currently running when it is tapped to unlock. This is noticable when music is being played and the cover art does not show on the lock screen.
Please note that Lenovo has escalated internally on this issue. I was personally able to reproduce these reports.
These reports originated from this thread: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Idea-Android-based-Tablets/KitKat-roll-out-for-Yoga-Tablets-starting-Jun...

KitKat OTA V28 was released on January 26th. It should resolve this issue.
If you are not currently running this update, you can download it by going to Setting - About tablet - System upgrade. Your device will then check to see what updates are available. These updates for the Yoga Tablet 8 and 10 (B6000 and B8000) begin with "A442_001_028"
Please note that if you have several updates to install, the device may only allow you to install two per day and the installation process may take several days to complete.

Can't remove the screen lock by PIN and can't use the screen to receive calls

Hello, I have a brand new SONY Xperia , Model Number D5803, Android version 5.0.2. , Baseband version 8974-AAAAANAZQ-00063-42, Kernel version 8974-perf-g3f600d1. , Build number 23.2.A.1.62.
I set a screen lock by PIN. However when I receive calls I can’t take them, because the screen in locked.
I tried to turn off the screen lock, but when I select the “ Screen lock” menu and after entering the correct PIN, the following items are not active “None”, “Slide” and “Pattern” . So I can't select “None”
The only active items are “PIN” and “Password” .
Please advice how to remove the screen lock by PIN. I hope this will help to be able to receive calls.
Thank you

To enable None and Swipe options, you need to go to Settings -> Security -> Clear credentials. Then those options will become active again.
However, you should be able to take calls even when you have PIN security, can you describe what shows on the screen when you have an incoming call while screen is locked?

Can't reject a call from lock screen with pin password

When I set a PIN code for my iPhone with iOS7 "7.0.2" and recieve a call, I don't get an option to reject that call directly!
The only valid options on the lock screen is either to set a reminder to call back the caller or reject with message. Is there any hidden feature behind this? or Apple really intended that?
Attached 2 screen shots for a caller
While screen is locked with PIN password
While screen is unlocked

It has been this way for some time. This is how you would decline a call from the lock screen, and then declining a call from the open screen is how you have it showing.

Bug: Lock screen / Simple PIN freezes up (Pre 2, webOS 2.0.1)

Hi,
I have a Palm Pre 2 (North America, unlocked) and have experienced the same bugs in the lock screen with both version 2.0.0 and 2.0.1:
When the Simple PIN secure unlock is activated, and the phone is left alone for a while, the next time an unlock is attempted the normal Simple PIN cloudy background is shown but without any number pad or other controls on top of it!! A simple turn-off-turn-on of the screen is usually enough to fix it. But it is still annoying enough that I have disabled Simple PIN for this sole reason.
IMHO such a basic feature needs to be better tested and fixed ASAP. Bugs like this cannot make it into the Verizon version of the Pre 2 if it is to be successful (and if people such as myself are to feel comfortable recommending it).
On a related note, I feel like it is rather counterintuitive that the Simple PIN requires an entire second lock screen... Why not just replace the normal lock screen with the Simple PIN (when Simple PIN is active)? Or better yet, make a cool sliding pattern unlock like on Android--seems a lot nicer not to have to lift your finger from the screen....
Thanks for listening and of course, for making an awesome OS!!!
Post relates to: Pre 2 p102una (Unlocked NA)

I have this problem, as well. I have an unlocked Pre 2 running 2.1.0 on AT&T. I can't pinpoint when the issue arose, because I only noticed it when I went in to delete a bookmark one day. I got this phone in June (this year) and immediately performed the OTA update. So I think this happened over time...not as a result of the OS update process itself. Like, maybe after so many bookmarks were saved or after so many web pages were added to the Launcher or something.
Update - I just went ahead and selected "Clear Bookmarks" which reset the Bookmarks list and the Launcher. Now, it's working again.

7. Select "Restore iPad"...

1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. If you did not do step 4 properly, start all over again.

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Yoga - Thinkpad message receiver for shortcut hot keys and 30 % CPU usage after lock screen or sleep

Hi! After returning from sleep or lock screen a process called "Thinkpad message receiver for shortcut hot keys" starts using about 30% of the CPU. Temps go upo to 60-70 degrees battery is being depleted quite fast. This process doesn't stop until I end it using task manager. Once ended that way, it doesn't start again even if I use sleep or lock screen. Need help with this!
I didn't use to have this problem like a month ago or so. Probably came into existence after some updates.

I am using Kaspersky Internet Secuirty 2015, when I resume my TPY from sleep, the message receiver for shortcut hot keys will show up and use 20-35% processing power which cause the laptop to heat up.
I hope a Thinkpad rep can come in to report the bug.

Lumia - Lock Screen Password

I want to enable password for my lock screen. But it doesnt work as I expected. It says that I can set a particular time that password will enable. And I did set for example one minute till the password will enable, before a minute and my screen is locked, I have to input the password.
and i'm wondering why the lock screen password also lock my child enable screen? The password should be enable only for my screen, not to my kid screen.
I hope, nokia or microsoft can solve this ackward. Thank you.

cannot say why you are having a challenge if the kids corner is locking too.
are you sure that when you tap the power button to turn on, that you are swiping to the right FIRST and then up? because on my device, the lock shows on my screen but after i swipe to the kids login, it does not require the pin.

How do I set up my iPhone to show message alerts on my locked screen only for messages sent by my contacts?

iPhone now is able to show you messages received even though the screen is locked. This is time efficient. But I do not want to see messages on the locked screen from people who are not in my contacts list. I tried going to settings>notifications>messages> but only saw view in lock screen for all messages. Is there a way to see messages on the locked screen from people only in my contact list? I appreciate it.

Which adaptor? What kind of LCD?
Normally, all you have to do is attach the appropriate cable to your laptop, connect it to your other monitor/screen, and make sure the monitor is powered, turned on, and has the correct input (if it has multiple inputs). For example, a monitor might have DVI and VGA, and an "input switcher" to select which one you want.
