Hola Screen Lock

Hola Screen Lock is a simple and practical application, allowing you lock your screen with a single tap, freeing up your power button.
Normally, the physical hardware power button on your phone is used to lock your screen. However, repeatedly pressing it will eventually shorten its life. Once installed, this app allows you to double-tap your touchscreen (desktop) to lock your screen, thus allowing you to extend your hardware button's life.

Problems Uninstalling This App?

If the uninstall button is greyed out in System Settings > Manage App, first navigate to System Settings > Security > Device administrators and deactivate Hola Screen Lock. Then uninstall the app through Manage App.

Please note that this is an optional plugin for Hola Launcher. It will not work on its own.

Nice app, just didn't need it so I tried to uninstall...not sure why but until today it wouldn't allow me to diactivate it as a device admin. I've gone to settings->security->device administrators a hundred times and tapped deactivate a billion times but until today it never deactivated, in fact it did absolutely nothing when I hit the deactivate button. For some reason though, even though I did the same thing today, it worked and deactivated.

The way to uninstall it when it says devise administer is go into settings the assibilties button or security there is a option that will say devise administer. When u click that open you will see there is a check by it touch the check to turn it off then once it's off you will be able to uninstall the program. Any programs that say that or simply won't let us uninstall them try there first that's normally the reason

Very simple yet useful app. Worth installing. Highly convenient than finding and pressing the small power button esp in situations like while driving. Quick advice- loose the super annoying popup which blocks the upper half of screen after unlock, else I'll loose this app itself.

An option to make the screen turned back off right away while on lockscreen after an unaccepted phone call is needed on android device. Usually on android i noticed when you don't accept a call, while the screen lock and the device is in pocket, and let the call hang up by itself the screen take too long to turn back off, it will give enough time for pocket dial to happen. So if you give an option to make screen to turn back off right away, it could prevent pocketdial without the need of sensor.

Every time I open lockscreen it pops up a message saying such many apps have been stopped and bla bla bla.. And I've to wait till the message eases off to use my phone. That's a bad idea.

This apps useful for passive phone user like me. help alot on standby time. help me simply manage which apps on while the phone on standby. not useful enough for active phone user or gamer type. still big thanks! read down to who can't uninstal it. it's device permit issues. not the apps. i have great benefit from using it. so i won't mind the uninstal stuff. but it does work better if you inactivate system talk back. this apps suit what i need. no pop up ads on it too. ^^ thanks god and your Hola team.

This is a good app, but it would be nice to be able to double tap and close no matter where we are in the phone. As of now, it only works from the home screen. If we could shut down in an app, I'd give 5 stars.

Its simply superb, no doubt, but we are more interested in double tap to unlock functionality without any root procedures. I know it is hardware-limitation but please do come up with something innovative with the available hardware resources in standard Android phones.

Unless your device is rooted and then you would better be of using something different. Do not install. This app can and has serious problems for quite a few users and can cost you money to get it fixed or insurance claim with a fat deductible. 150 for a SG2. SAMSUNG FIX 182.00.

My fault for not reading the comments before installing this but now it's draining my battery/storage and refuses to be removed. I've been trying multiple ways of ridding myself of this useless app but nothing has worked. I enjoyed the Hola Launcher App and am highly disappointed in the outcome the Hola Lock. Please fix, I'm reaching the end of my rope with this.

Jas. A. Jun 26, 2015     

This device will not deactivate. It does not even work on my phone so I have no need for it. Please do something about this.

Hola is definitely one of the best light weight efficient and powerful launchers available on Google play and I've been using hola from quite a long time but this screen lock app doesn't really make sense..one you install it asks for admin privileges nd once given it cannot be uninstalled until you re-set your phone using factory data reset..!!!

It's messing up some of my apps. When I receive a text, it won't let me type and I have to exit the application and go back then reply to the text message. I need to uninstall it but in order to do so, it needs to be "deactivated." But when I click on the "deactivate" button, it says I have to use the launcher. AND I STILL CAN'T DEACTIVATE IT! Please fix it. My phone is messing up because of this app. I would give it zero stars, but I can't.

Interferes with phone's own ability to properly lock. If the screen times out, rather than locking with a pattern or password (as it always would before) now one just simply slides the screen to the right and can access all my content. Same thing with the power button, it used to be securely locked with a pattern, now it doesn't work. This app creates a huge security risk that was never there before. Uninstalled!

Horrible ain't the word for this totally pointless app. Once installed it will not allow you to uninstall or deactivate it. Avoid do not download.

Jam. K. B. May 27, 2015     

I uninstalled my the launcher and i want also to uninstall this app but i can't. Hate this! Whenever i deactivate it it only says that "Its an administrator etc." pls help me about this I'll give you high rate because its a good app anyway. Help help

Bad bad app and i don't know how to uninstall it when i opened play store i just found diactivate

Jos. E. Jun 27, 2015     

Doesn't even deserve a rating because you can't uninstall the app and it has no way of being deactivated. Please make an update so that I can remove this app from my phone.

gua. t. Apr 21, 2015     

I think it is useless. There is no need for me to turn off my phone with the tap of a button. If this app let you customize your lock screen, then it would be good. But as of now, I hate it.

A. L. L. Jun 6, 2015     

2 Suggestions: Lose that notification. Secondly, use proximity sensor to wake up. Also put a time-out option for that sensor so it doesn't drain battery over night AND YOU ARE GOLDEN BABY!

It will refuse to uninstall or deactivate. WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION IT BECOMES A DEVICE ADMINISTRATOR. Reporting to Google.

Double tap screen unlock feature should be added as like as Double Tap Screen Lock Feature....only for this reason I'm not interested to use it. So plz add this feature

Jua. B. A. Jun 8, 2015     

I hope theres a feature also like in sony z3 that if you double tap it will unlock. I hope in the next update there is double tap already. Thank you.

I love Hola Launcher and since its integrated into it, 5 star would suit it. However security seems to be at risk since most of the time when turning the phone back on, lock screen does not appear. Current phone --> Dell GS01, Android ver. 2.3.5, Build # 068-Japan-emobile

Wont uninstall and you cant deactivate it easily. Takes up too much data

I use moto g4 plus n why does it ask for pin also after finger print access when the screen is locked via hola screen lock ...it doesn't when we lock the device with power button
