unlock the screen is straight forward, how to lock it is the question! anybody can help?
A quick press on the power button will do the trick!
haha...tt's simple...tx a million!
Yeah! No problem!
Don't want to create a whole new thread for this as its probably a simple answer, but is there a way to lock the screen with numbers or something similar to the Sense UI? I just ask as I haven't seen any security on the lock screen so anyone can get in? There must be a way to lock it so only you can open it?

Well yeah. You can set a lock pattern that works in the same way. Kind of. It's in settings -> Security and at the top!
Is there a way i can change the lock screen of my phone? I don't like the normal slide down thing, i really like anything that i can slide across really...
so i was wondering if there was a .apk or a flash-able thing i could use to change it.
i did search for about 15-20 min and gave up so if someone just links me to another part of the forum thats cool because i must have missed it but i dont need to hear "use the search noob" or something to that effect.
thanks in advance
after some looking i found widgetlocker which seems amazing, so if anyone knows a free one cool if not ill just get this.
thanks
Hey all,
One thing I've always wanted on android is the ability to slide-unlock, THEN to enter pattern/passcode/whatever.
Is there any way to do this? I found no way to do it in CM6. I'm now running MIUI and there's no way in this ROM either.
Is there some hack or software out there that will do this that I don't know of?
Have you tried downloading Widget locker from the market? That seems to be the most popular lockscreen replacement
No, there's no trial and I can't buy stuff off the market anyways. Does this allow for unlock->pass unlock?
From the screenshots it looks like it may.

just curios why do you want to unlock your phone twice?? ocd?
Haha no, I just like having a password on my phone and the lock screen with pattern lock is fugly. I don't want to see big dots all over my screen. I was able to fix this with CM6 by making it all invisible.
I sort of want it how the iphone does it, or how my buddies android 1.6 phone does it.

I actually really miss this function from my G1. Haha. I don't like the invisible buttons because it just makes the screen look absolutely empty. I would love a Unlock -> Password option.
Uhm, am I missing something or isn't that how it works by default? When I have a password or pin setup, and go to unlock my phone, I get the unlock screen. Once I've swiped to unlock, then I get the password/pin prompt. The only time it doesn't behave like that is when a pattern-unlock is being used.

Yep, I was. Makes no sense why you can't have this for pattern unlock as well!
I can't understand why anyone would want that!
It's one of the main reasons I don't like HTC sense roms - you can't get rid of the stupid unlock slider even when you have the pattern unlock enabled.
Why would I want to unlock it twice?!?
I want it because I frequently look at my phone for the time or for other various locked-screen uses, and it's aesthetically displeasing to look at it with the big bubbles all over the screen. Not to mention you lose the ability to slide to vibrate and that sorta stuff you get normally by default.
If you can't get WidgetLocker, try Simply Lockscreen. WidgetLocker looks way better, same with GoTo (but both are paid).
Hello everyone, couldn't find the answer anywhere so here I am - when I go to my lock screen it automatically does this weird zoom-out for a split second and then stays still.
I'm new to the J5 and can't figure out how to make that stop, is it possible? If so - how?
Cheers!

This is just a touchwiz animation effect. Unfortunetely it can not be disabled.

On Lollipop you can turn it off changing lock screen option to dragging, then choose the first unlock effect (colours something like that). Then change again your lock screen method and use the one you like. In android 6.0 I think you can't chage it.

Yea it just updated to 6.0.1 so guess I'm stuck, if anyone got a solution I'd love to hear it even though it's no big deal.
I've seen many people posting their screenshots with Secondary Display.
Is it possible with Stock Android? My device is H990DS
So if possible, can someone tell me how to do that?
I'm in no intention to root my phone!
Thanks in Advance.
on mine you simply swipe left on the second screen. the second set of icons all the way to the right is an icon that has a pen inside of a box inside of a circle, click on that. the phone will take a screen shot. and give some editing options. to save it click on the check mark (on the second screen). hope this helps

AFAIK, that's not possible without root.
For this, root is required, but if you change your mind:
2nd Screen Screenshot
Add the following line to build.prop to enable both screens when taking a screenshot:
sys.capture_signboard.enabled=true
