G+_Mark Scholes Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Can anyone recommend a free app that will keep my phone unlocked when connected to my home wifi? I see various options in the Play store, but nothing that seems well reviewed. Galaxy S3, 4.1.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Dean Chauvin Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I've tried a few, but get rid of them pretty fast. They were a big battery drain for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Al McKinlay (YaManicKil Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I use tasker and it works really well. It's just a little complicated. Doesn't drain my battery much at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Joseph Cappellino Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Tasker and the Secure Settings plug-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ross De Groot Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I find it too difficult to get tasker to do what I want it to do. Try Llama, its much easier to use and works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Al McKinlay (YaManicKil Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Don't even need the secure settings plugin. I just use the built in keyguard setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Joseph Cappellino Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Alistair McKinlay that only works if you don't want to set a PIN, if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Gavin James Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Tasker + Secure Settings is best. Well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Al McKinlay (YaManicKil Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 What do you mean, Joseph Cappellino ? It just disables the lock screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Joseph Cappellino Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Alistair McKinlay - You're right. It disables the lock screen, but I think Secure Settings provides more options, as stated by Tasker when using the Keyguard action. I guess it's dependant on how much control you want.

G+_Al McKinlay (YaManicKil Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Yeah. I find it easiest just to disable the lock screen, it means it doesn't matter what security you use etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Gavin James Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Alistair McKinlay yes it does. Tasker can only disable the lock screen (swipe to unlock) however if your phone is secured by either a PIN, Password, or Pattern you require Secure Settings as well. Of those I think that only PIN/Password can be disabled without root. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Al McKinlay (YaManicKil Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Gavin James Not true :-) the keyguard option turns off the lock screen, not the security. So the security still exists, it just never locks the phone. I'm not just saying something I don't know...I'm using it with a pattern lock. ?
