Slide lock on home screen has disappeared

This is about the security feature you have to use each time you start up the Droid X -- i.e., the image of the combination padlock that you drag to the right.  That feature disappeared a while ago (before I upgraded to 2.2) and hasn't come back.  So how do I get it back again?  I've gone through the security settings and can't seem to find that option.  (Note that I am not talking about the password lock or the pattern lock, just the simple slide lock.)

If slider was disabled at time of update the slider remains disabled because there isnt any options to enable it, only solution it to hard reset. Use the instructions here: http://community.vzw.com/t5/DROID-X-by-Motorola/Minimize-Droid-X-Issues-After-Froyo-Update/m-p/296586#M11211  also heres a little reading material that I got from Motorola about this subject... http://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/57221/kw/disable%2Bslide%2Bunlock%2Bon%2Bfroyo/p/30%2C6720%2C7500%2C/session/L3NpZC9uMVE5alJiaw%3D%3D/p_country_code/US/p_reference/moto_integration.php.
Notice the statement under photo states "Screen lock for DROID X Froyo users (SW version 2.3.15) is a permanent feature.
You will not have option to turn "Screen lock" (the simple swipe from left to right when display is dimmed) either OFF or ON your handset."

  • My Ipod lock screen has disappeared!

    My iPod lock screen has disappeared and says the iPod is disabled. I had a passcode and I have tried turning it on and off and when I plug it into iTunes it says I need to unlock the iPod first! But the passcode 'slide to unlock' bar is gone!
    HELP!

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • After updating to system 7.2 the library folder in my home folder has disappeared.. anyone know if this is a byproduct of OS7.2

    After updating to system 7.2 on my MacAir, the library folder in my home folder has disappeared.. anyone know if this is a byproduct of OS7.2

    Not with 10.7.2 but with OSX Lion since it was released.
    Apple has hidden the Library folder by default.
    In Finder option-click Go in the menubar and it will appear under Home.
    Or permanently with this Terminal command: chflags nohidden ~/Library

  • Suddenly all incoming Text messages only appear on my home screen and disappear when opened, What happened?

    Two days ago all my text messages became scrambled. I get notified when a new message appears on my locked home screen, but when I open them up, they disappear until I answer the thread. Unfortunately, I can't read the entire message when it is on the locked home screen. When I reply, other texts are mixed in under the person's thread I am trying to answer. I deleted all old texts in hope that this would resolve itself, but it became worse! I have not changed any setting. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks!

    Same thing is happening to me whethere the texts are received on the imessage or other text message apps. The message is showing on the lock screen halfway and when I try to pull it it is not here. This is happening since IOS 7. Is there still a glitch??

  • My home screen is gigantic. As a result I cannot see the keypad for entering in my passcode. Somehow, everything on my home screen has expanded to gigantic size. I've tried to reset the phone by holding the home button and the on off button...

    My home screen is gigantic… So much so that 1/200 of the normal screen display now fills up the entire screen. As a result, I cannot even see my keypad to enter in my passcode. I've tried a hard reset a few times (holding the home button and the on off button at the same time until the iPhone restarts). This has not resulted in any changes. Any ideas?

    Thank you Lawrence. that worked! I have another question for you as well. I just got this 6 Plus and it is already saying that I am nearing the end of my storage. My  iCloud is apparently 20gb and I have 6gb left. I'm attaching a screen shot. Any thoughts on how I can make available some more storage?
    I Also wanted to get an enhanced quality Speech voice Alex, but it is saying I don't have enough Memory (I think it says memory because I can't read the message fully). Lastly, in your opinion does Grayscale really improve battery life above and beyond what can be achieved by closing out all apps etc. Thank you.

  • The volume slide control on my 4s has disappeared when I watch videos and listen to music. Any suggestion on how to get it back? I've tried the recommendations in the manual

    The volume slide control on my iPhone 4S has disappeared when I play videos, music and YouTube. I've tried the recommendations in manual, to no avail. Any suggestions?

    Your phone still thinks it is plugged into the stereo. I don't remember how to solve this but perhaps you can search through the forum or maybe one of the members here will jump in on how to switch the playback to speakers.

  • The progress/time bar at top of the screen has disappeared

    On my Ipod Touch -- when playing a song -- the bar at the top of the screen (that shows how much total time there is for the song and where the player is within the song) has disappeared.  It was there yesterday, and now it's just gone.  BTW, the volume control is still there.  And otherwise, the player seems to be working fine.  Somewhere, I read that this situation might be resolved by re-syncing it.  I tried that and it didn't work.  Any idea as to what may have happened... and how can I fix it?

    In the music app play a song and when the song starts to play in the screen where the progress bar was tap in the middle of the screen and it should be back. I had this problem too but then i figured it out. And trust me if u do that it will be back. If that doesnt work tell me.

  • Mail4Exch Home screen keeps disappearing ( 34.001)

     Since going to 34.001 (yesterday) on a new E52 the Mail for Exchange Home screen on the Standby screen keeps disappearing as I navigate towards the message summary.
    The  Mail global settings > home screen settings are correct.
    To get it back I have to power cycle the phone or go in to the Mail global settings > home screen and change and re change the settings.

    I,ve had this problem and the only thing you can do is long press the menu key, elect home screen and it will come back ! Very annoying, but tends to be intermittant, may go a few weeks without a problem, then occur for several days, if you get a solution please post !!
