Help No Lock Screen

[Jbart15]

Before I updated to 2.2 I turned off the default lock screen and kept off through the update process and now with 2.2 there is no option to turn it back on only the pin, password and pattern options are available. Anyone have a suggestion as to how to get it back?

I was just about to post this same thing....have you found a solution for this yet?

Are you saying that you can have the pin lock, but do not have the lock screen?

This is exactly what I want. I had it turned off in 2.1. but once I went to 2.2 the lock screen came back with no way to turn it off.

how did u turn it off in 2.1?

2.1 included a option in the location and security settings page.

really? in security i have:
change lock pattern
require pattern
use visible pattern
use tactile feedback
set up sim card lock
visible passwords
install from sd card
set password

two greyed out options
clear storage

location is a seperate setting
use secure credentials

I don't fully remember. But I found the following:

From the home screen: Menu > Settings > Location & Security > Screen Lock

Uncheck the box to disable the slider.

Hmmm, wondering if a update has removed this since?

thanks for the info though

I was having the same confusion.
But the right answer is "Change Lock Pattern" which when I clicked that and saw a pattern screen I like some users mis-interpreted it as simply the beginning of a reset sequence, old, new, confirm new; not a re-confirm password before showing you a menu of things to do: None, Pattern, PIN, Password.
