Screen Lock Delay
This is my first time with a Samsung phone; up until now I've only used HTC. In the past, I have had a "delayed lock" so if I'm texting back and forth with someone quickly (within x amount of minutes), I can turn the screen off between messages without needing to re-enter my password. In those cases, I'd just use a non-password swipe.
With the Galaxy S5, I can delay the need for a password... but for some reason, within the chosen time frame, pushing the power or home button is enough to completely unlock the phone. This means that if I tuck it away and accidentally push either button, the phone is ready for use in my pocket (no need to swipe the screen).
Ideally, I'd like to be able to do what I did on my HTC phone - manually lock it (to save battery as well as not mistakenly pocket-dial someone), then a minute or two later pick up the phone, do the simple "non-password" swipe and continue using my phone as usual. But after (let's say) 10 min of inactivity, the phone would lock itself requiring a password to use it again.
Does this feature exist on the GS5 (either stock or with an app)? I just want SOME slide-to-access security in case I hit the "Power" button while it's in my pocket. Thanks in advance for your feedback!
