Lockscreen options grayed out

[chile62]

So I needed to run Foxfi this morning, first time since upgrading to JB. Any way it required a lockscreen password on the first run. (I've always just used swipe) So now I want to return to swipe but the options None, Swipe and Face unlock are grayed out. Anyone have an idea?

Thanks,
Bill

Slide unlock disabled (and can't turn back on)

To use FoxFi, you need a certificate. That certificate will require a screen lock. Thus you have your choice of FoxFi or no screen lock.

That was the ticket.

I only use it when my Internet is down. So I can live turning it on and off.

Haven't been able to figure out a way to get rid of it entirely, but I found a much more manageable way around it..

Settings --> Security --> "Automatically Lock" --> Select 30 minutes

This way, the pattern lock won't show up until your screen has been off for 30+ minutes. Which is basically never for me, unless I'm asleep. Much easier to live with.
