| May 3, 2016 at 13:06 | comment | added | Tripartio | Update: I now use an LG G3 with Android 5 (now upgrade to Android 6) which has the iPhone-like feature I requested built in, so the problem is moot for me now. However, the answers to this question would probably still be helpful to people with systems that don't have this functionality built in. | |

| Sep 12, 2013 at 8:17 | comment | added | Tripartio | Thanks, @Al Everett, for the tip on the 15-minute reimbursement window. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough time for me to test and verify that WidgetLocker does not work :-(. I've edited my question to mention that I unsuccessfully tried WidgetLocker. | |

| Sep 4, 2013 at 17:58 | comment | added | Tripartio | Thanks, @TomG. I looked into it, and I confirmed that there is no device administrator restricting my device. | |
| Sep 4, 2013 at 14:19 | comment | added | TomG | @Ochado, Device Administrators can impose security policies on a device; I was thinking that it's possible that a policy requiring a PIN may make it impossible to launch any app without the PIN. If you have a device administrator enabled (System Settings->Security & Screen Lock -> Device Administrators on my phone), you may be stuck if (for example) your corporate email access requires the policy. More info on device admins is on the Android Developer Site | |
| Sep 4, 2013 at 13:52 | comment | added | Tripartio | @TomG, I have no idea what Device Administrators are. Could you please explain what they are and how they could resolve this issue? Thanks. | |
| Sep 4, 2013 at 5:30 | comment | added | aleksikallio | @TomG Even if you have Device Administrators, you CAN bypass the PIN entry on some configurations. For example, my lockscreen on Sony Xperia Z shows a camera shortcut above the PIN entry keypad. | |
| Sep 4, 2013 at 1:13 | comment | added | TomG | Do you have any Device Administrators enabled? I wonder if it's possible for them to force the PIN requirement. | |
