Ben's Mind

It appears with the latest update (Froyo 2.2) for the Android devices, your screen lock may appear to be mandatory. If you look in Settings > Locations & Security > Screen Lock the None and Pattern options could be disabled if you are using Corporate Sync. I’ll at least explain what happened to me and how I fixed it on my Droid X:

1. Received the update overnight on 9/21
2. It needed me to setup a screen lock
3. I went into Settings > Locations & Security > Screen Lock
4. I noticed I couldn’t select None or Pattern
5. I went Settings > Accounts
6. Removed my Corporate Sync account
7. Back to Settings > Locations & Security > Screen Lock
8. Select None or Pattern
9. Back to Settings > Accounts
10. Add your Corporate Sync account back
11. Verify your screen lock didn’t reactivate

That’s it – hopefully it sticks!
