Press the Hiddenmenu Enable radio button, then press home button

To disable the lock screen (and power down pop up), go back into the Dialer and use the code *#7594#, select Shutdown and press the Home button. This, I have confirmed, does work on the Charge.

There is also the option to disable the full battery pop up, but I'm not sure if it actually works or not (I'll be able to find out later tonight). *#3844228#. It allows you to disable it, but the option never actually worked on my Fascinate, so I don't know if it will work on the Charge.

WOW, it worked perfectly!!! Thank you very much, no more locked screen for me.

Thanks for the instructions. Before I try this, what are the steps to re-enable the lock screen?

Same steps but this time pick to enable instead of disable to set the setting back.

This is amazing, where can i find other hacks like this that don't require me to root my phone?

 

[bmann]

more hacks for unrooted phones please!!

Great hack! Where can i find more simple hacks like this that dont require rooting?

 

[navvydigital]

Works as promised! :]

Is there any way to disable the menu/home/back/search buttons from waking the phone though? I love not having to slide, but those keys are so easily pressed in my pocket...

Anyone,,,

What is the shutdown key in the final step of disabling of the lock screen??

Thanks in advance

Nevermind, found it, thanks...

Well I must be the one num nuts that can't find this shutdown key. Could someone tell a really slow android guy. I really don't like the lock screen.

When you enter the number *#7594# into your dialer it should bring up a menu where that is the only item with a checkbox next to it. That being said, the first two times I entered the number nothing happened, so I would try clearing it or rebooting the phone and entering the number again.

Can I add different unlock screens once I have disabled original unlock screen?

Those buttons don't wake my phone when pressed with the lock screen disabled, only the power button wakes my phone.

If you remove the lock screen (so that you no longer have to "swipe" or move a puzzle piece, etc.), does the screen still go to black after a set period of time in order to save battery?

Assuming that the screen still goes to black, what button(s) will wake it? And will a screen press wake it too?

Yes, the screen still times out just as it did before and the only button that will wake the phone is the power button.

For those who use a pin or pattern to unlock their DC but just want to get rid of the swipe-to-unlock screen:

-remove your pin/pattern
-follow the steps to remove the lock screen
-go back and re-enable your pin/pattern lock, you'll see that it doesn't work
-bring up the dialer and enter the *#7594#, then uncheck the shutdown option, hit the home button

You'll now see that you've removed the swipe screen but still have your pin or password input.

Not on my Droid Charge. Any hard button will wake it (power, menu, home, back, search, volume up, volume down).

I noticed something else that this changes. Rather than a menu popping up with options upon a long-press of the power button, the phone just shuts down. I liked that menu, and I sometimes hold down the power key long enough to accidentally activate it.
