Your unlock or un-secure features do not work on my phone(Galaxy Note 3, ATT 900A, ver. 4.4.2)…Every time i start up the phone, I have to entr the same code BOTH on Samsung Logo, AND ATT logo—this is getting to be quite a chore!!
I’ve also went to Settings///General//Security//Decrypt, STILL no joy (turn the phone on and still have to enter the code!!)
