Pocket Lock Apps and Using the Pin

[tshirttan408]

Hi Guys,

So I've recently bought one of those cases that double as a wallet as well. I've done a quick search because what I though would be really handy is to have an app that automatically locks my phone when covered, and have downloaded an app call pocket lock. The only problem is (and I had this with a double tap the screen lock app) is that when I unlock I have to enter the pin. Does anyone know if there are any work arounds for this?

Thanks in advance.

There should be a setting on the phone to adjust how long to wait after the screen is off before the screenlock becomes activated--you could set that to a short time (like 5 seconds) or Immediately. Then you could use Smart Lock to make sure the phone is unlocked when you open the case, as long as it's connected via Bluetooth to a Trusted Device (like a Bluetooth headset), or if you're using On-body Detection (On-body detection explained | Android Central).
