Set lock/pin password action problem

[mechrekt]

Hi
I don't know if it is a bug or an android compatibility problem, but every time the "clear pin/password" action is executed in a flow, the phone screen turns on.
I'm using a Note 3 with 4.3 android version and if I remember well, the same action with my old Note 2 worked well.

Hi,

This behavior is not under control of Automagic but is a behavior of the ROM itself or maybe a feature of another device administrator.
Are any other device administrators in use (Settings->Security->Device administrators)?

Hi,
I've not a specific rom but original Note 3 Samsung rom.
I don't have any other device administrators in use.

Yesterday I've checked the same flow with another android phone and screen remains (correctly) off.

For me this is an annoying problem, because it uses battery when screen goes on everytime, and because when I have the phone in my pocket there is a risk to activate something wrong..

If no solution can be found, Is there any workaround for this?

Michele

Hi,

Just checked the API used to implement this action again but I could not find a way to change this behavior in any way.

As a workaround you could try to turn the screen off with an action Lock Device immediately or with a short delay after changing the PIN password:
-action Set Lock PIN/Password: ...
-action Sleep: 1s
-action Lock Device

I'll try the workaround,
