I hope I’m posting this in the right place. I’m not sure if this is a Bug or just a result of how the Lock/Unlock device command functions in Avast anti-theft.
Info:
Device: SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 Galaxy Note 2
Android: 4.1.2
Avast: 3.0.6158
Anti-Theft: 3.0 Build 6158
Installed as System App: Yes
Custom-Lock Text: No
Steps:
-
Issuing the “lock device” command from web interface at my.avast.com
-
Entering PIN code on the device or unlocking using the “unlock device” command from the web interface at my.avast.com
Problem:
After unlocking the device (step 2 above) my pattern unlock screen doesn’t work. My settings are set to “lock screen after 5 minutes of inactivity” and even after 5 minutes there is no lock screen. (Edit: I also tried with the setting “lock screen instantly or after screen timeout” and same problem occurs)
This happens until the device is restarted or powered off/on again.
Is this a bug or has anyone else noticed this? Thanks guys.
