Lock Pattern HELP (after update 2.2)

I honestly do not understand how to work this thing now.

 

First off normally I would set up the pattern and once I lock my phone it would require me to enter the pattern to unlock it but I cannot figure out how to access it.

 

I also downloaded a widget for pattern lock but it just keeps going to the patternlock homescreen to where I can set it up.

 

I cant figure out how to toggle on/off AFTER UPDATE 2.2

 

And if a pattern is on screen and I lock it; while it brings back to pattern screen I can hit the back button and I'm back to my homescreen; nullifying the purpose of this patternlock.

 

Can someone please help me on how to toggle this patternlock on/off with 2.2 new OS?

 

Thank you

Okay well i think I finally figured it out.

 

Immediately just means when you personally lock it yourself.

 

Thankfully it does not mean that after 1second your screen goes blank (which I was thinking thats what it would do)

 

So I think I finally solved it; then I'll wait for the developer to update his application to be uploaded on the market for 2.2

 

In short; choose the time "immediately" that way you are in control of when to engage the security screen.

 

Thank you for helping me.

what??? OMG I have to wait until the phone automatically shuts off???

 

While I was writing this out, my phone went to hibernation mode; ya know screen goes black.  Well I hit the power button which wakes it up (not fully powered off) and THEN my "pin code #" was on the screen.  I entered it in and voila.

 

So while we do have a pattern choice or a pin # choice I then tested it again.  I hit the lock button (power button once); and then unlocked phone again.........nope back to homescreen.

 

So what............after this update we now have to wait until the phone completely goes silent for this patternlock to be fully effective???

Go to the Security Settings and select Screen Lock. Defult time is 3 min I think before it starts back up. You can change the time intervals, or make it do it every time.
