Help bye bye, lock screen

[kfisher123]

How do I get rid of that annoying lock screen? It's always in the way and I don't always have both hands free.

Settings>Security>Screen Lock = None
This may vary slighty depending on your Android version.

Even if you disable the screen lock, you still have to swipe before using your phone.

Trusted places. I'm not sure if it's just an HTC thing though.

If the Patriots lose I'm switching to LG.

I think 'Smart Lock' is available on most, if not all, devices running Android 5.0 onwards.

I have it enabled on my M9 for both 'Trusted places' and 'On-body detection', and it works perfectly, allowing wake up with a single swipe while at home or out and about with the phone in my possession but still retaining the lock function at all other times.

I wonder how "on body detection" knows if its your body or a thiefs? It strikes me that this can do just what you don't want and let a thief bypass your lockscreen (as long as they keep moving!)

The "trusted places" is fine.

The thief would have to take it from my hand or pocket which also applies to my wallet and as far as I'm concerned I take the necessary precautions to prevent either from happening.

Might vary between phones. I can select "None" and not have to swipe, when turning the screen on it's immediately on the home screen.

Settings >security >lock screen. I'm unable to select ANYTHING other than password and fingerprint. How do I unlock and access SWIPE only?

The other options for your lock screen can be greyed out for several reasons:

Having multiple accounts on the phone
Using encryption
If an app is also using that password
And maybe others

If it's from an app no longer being used but still on the phone you can try clearing the apps cache, then see if None is still greyed out.

Clear an apps cache:
1. Go to Settings -> Apps
2. Tap the app
3. Tap Clear Cache
4. You can also tap Clear Data if you're not using app at all.
