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:

1. Issuing the "lock device" command from web interface at my.avast.com

2. 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.
