      Hi all,

      I got my NFC Ring a few days ago but I am having an issue. The main reason I bought the ring was to easily unlock my phone without having to use a pin every time. My phone is encrypted (Nexus 5) so I have no way of turning off the stock PIN/unlock power on screen. Is there a way to integrate the ring into Google's stock PIN lock screen without root or evenn get around it? If not I feel like I just wasted 50 bucks. I do not want to root either.

      Any help would be appreciated.

      Thanks

      Nick

          So encrypting your phone = must use a stock unlock screen?
