About Auto Lock Screen

Important Note

This app uses the Device Administrator permission. This is required so that the app can control the device lock screen. To uninstall the app once this is enabled, select Uninstall from the menu. Alternatively, go to your phone settings and remove the app as a device administrator. It can then be uninstalled as normal.

DESCRIPTION

You want a PIN or password for your device to help keep it safe in case you ever lose it or to stop someone interfering with your device when you're not looking. However, typing in your password every time the phone is locked is a pain.

Also, certain car Bluetooth kits will not allow you to make outgoing calls if your phone has a password or PIN lock active. Hence you have to unlock your phone before you can make an outgoing call, defeating the point of a hands free kit as well as being potentially dangerous or illegal.

This application is designed to help solve these issues. It will control the PIN or password used to access your device when locked, automatically disabling this when you are connected to WiFi networks or Bluetooth devices you specify.

Your device will remain unlocked while connected, allowing you to use it easily by simply picking it up and prevent the repetitive entering of your PIN/password when you are in a "safe" area.

As soon as your device disconnects, it will automatically activate the PIN/Password to help prevent unauthorised access.

The app can be enabled or disabled at any time. If the app is disabled or the device is shut down, the lock screen password will be set so your device is kept secure.

This app has no restrictions on the number of WiFi or Bluetooth connections you can select.

FEATURES
* Free version has no restrictions on functionality
* Can play notification sounds to let you know when the password has been activated/deactivated
* Optional settings to delay password activation/deactivation
* Can choose whether device should be automatically locked when the password is activated
* Optional in-app purchase to make permanently ad free

FAQ

Q: Why does the app support delays?
A: This is designed to help people who want to use a WiFi connection that has intermittent connection issues or spotty coverage in your building. By setting an appropriate delay you can prevent the password being activated because the connection has temporarily dropped out. If the connection is re-established before the count down completes, the password will not activate.

Q: Why do I need to grant the app device administrator privileges? Why do I need to give it my PIN/password?
A: This is required so it can change the lock screen password/PIN. You need to enter your desired password or PIN into the application so it can activate the lock screen password when required.

Q: Why did the app stop working and lose my password?
A: This occurs when you set your lock screen to use a PIN or password entered through the Android settings screen. The app is designed to automatically shut-down & discard the password to prevent the app from activating the old password and causing user confusion. If you wish to change your lock screen PIN/password, do so from the menu within the application.

Q: How do I uninstall the app?
A: The app must be unregistered as a device administrator before it can be uninstalled. Please uninstall using the Uninstall option on the app menu. Alternatively, you can deactivate the app as a device administrator manually from the Android security settings screen and then uninstall the app in the usual fashion.

I got this app to replace Delayed Lock which I loved until Lollipop broke it. I searched high and low and finally came across this gem! It works flawlessly! Unlocks my phone when connected to my home wifi, and locks the phone when I leave my home. Adore this app. While the others guys are screaming it's not our fault that lollipop broke our app, this app is running like a champ on my Samsung Note 4 with Lollipop 5.0.1. ♡♡♡♡♡

For the first week this worked well. Then to access my work email and calendar I needed to add an Exchange server account. That stopped this app working properly. Also flakey WiFi causes it to lock up.

Has everything I was looking for while being intrusive ad free and completely professional. Only permissions are ones necessary for functionality. Love that you can pair bluetooth or WiFi. Options for delay. Every app should be like this. Win. Thanks devs.
