Screen Lock app suggestion?

[lauderek]

Hi,

Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong section.

I'm looking for an android lock screen app that:
1) does not have a quick link to emergency calls (I've pocket dialed 911 multiple times)
2) does not have those fancy quick links to fancy apps/tools (I've pocket turned on flash lights at work multiple times )
3) does not let me change the phone volume (I've pocket turned on the volume at work multiple times)

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Derek

Turn the screen off before pocketing it with a tap of the power button...

I have a Oneplus One phone and it has a "double tap to turn on screen feature". I have checked that feature off multiple times but it will automatically check back on by itself again and again. So it's not just about turning the screen off. I really need a screen lock app.

There're many screen lock apps at Google Play. Maybe you can find one you like there.

Thanks for your reply. But not to be rude, I'm not new to smartphones and of course I have tried apps on Google Play. I'm asking for app suggestions. Again, I'm sorry if I sound rude. I really want to see people as helpful ones. But I felt like people here are being more sarcastic than helping. Hope you understand.

I don't think people intend to be sarcastic.

The only screen lock app I've used is WidgetLocker, which has not been updated for a long time (long before OP existed), so no guarantees how well it works now. As that's configurable you could choose not to have the things you don't want on your lockscreen. But if you wake the screen up I doubt it will block the volume buttons.

I use ZUI locker and like it. It doesn't have the 911 thing you're talking about either.

I would suggest you've actually got a problem or bug with the OnePlus One. the "Double tap to wake" function if you've got it OFF, it should stay OFF, and not be doing it's own thing. What version of Android is it running, CyanogenMod, Oxygen OS, Color OS, or something else?

This is an Oppo phone with Color OS, and OnePlus phones are made by Oppo. And if I have "Double tap to wake" set to OFF, it stays OFF!

"...double click the screen can light up it."


You might not actually find a lock screen that doesn't have a 911 emergency shortcut, because of FCC requirements or something. And that's just trying to patch something that I think is not right with the phone, i.e. "Double tap to wake" apparently automatically turning itself ON.

BTW I use a smart-cover case for my Oppo, so when the cover is closed, the screen stays off even though I've got all the screen-off gestures ON.
