I'm looking for a program like onlock, devicelock, or slide2unlock... but instead of just having a procedure to unlock the phone, it prompts for a pin or password.
I'm aware that there is a built in locking thing in the phone, but whenever I use that, it takes 20-30 seconds to load the today screen after I unlock.
If I don't use the pin lock, the today screen loads with no wait.
I have been looking for something that does that also. I have a thread for the same request on other forums but I havn't had any luck yet. Has anyone else found anything? I will update the forum if I find anything.
you might want to look into OrganicLock - I personally recommend it

I found that the other day but I didn't really give a good look, I'm going to try it out today.
Slide to Unlock will prompt for a pin provided you use the Lock app to set one.
I believe it will still let you answer calls without typing in a pin though...
I would like to make calls while the device is locked so my personal information is still protected. Anything like that?
Hey everybody,
Long long time reader, first time poster.
I've just bought a Galaxy Note 3, because I was so happy with the Note 2 I just had to have the new one.
To my surprise, there's a couple of fundamental features missing from my ****ty AU version (my Note 2 was an International Version).
There doesn't seem to be an option to enable lockscreen shortcuts, I've seen videos online of people enabling these on their respective Note 3's, but the AU version just doesn't seem to have it.
The other thing that is really grinding my gears is that the bottom row of apps on the homescreen is locked. Ie. they can not be moved or changed (Phone, Contacts, Messages, Internet, Apps), why in gods name would Samsung ever lock something like that?
There is one last thing, but I can't be sure if this is an isolated AU version issue or one that is across the board, but when I plug in my headphones, it doesn't take me to that wonderful Music specific screen like the Note 2 did. Is this something that has just been omitted from this phone or is it entirely an AU specific thing?
My question then becomes, is there anything I can do about this?
I've noticed a JB 4.3 Firmware kicking about and I would gladly void my warranty to get back these features. But I don't want to void my warranty and still not have these features, if you know what I mean.
I'd really appreciate any advice on this, as I said, I've been a long time reader of this forum, any time I've googled anything about my phone, this is the place I end up, so I know you're a knowledgeable bunch, help me out
Thanks in advance, I'll be watching this space.
Mine doesn't even have the lock screen apps but I have a favorite apps widget on the lock screen.
Plus I don't have the flare in lock screen like I saw in a video review.
I have the Germany Snapdragon version

I hate the locked dock as well .... also, the Australian version of touchwiz does not work in landscape mode. eg: if you use Ultimate Rotation Control to force the home screen to rotate, the touchwiz icons wont align properly in landscape.
I have complained on their Samsung Australia facebook, but none of the rep has replied.
https://www.facebook.com/SamsungAustralia/posts/10151943776798523
I think it is the decision of the samsung Australia to lock the dock and not allow us to change it.
maybe we need to form a petition on change.org

If you don't care about voiding your warranty then it's easy fixed. It just involves deleting a couple of lines in others.xml which you can do with root explorer or a similar root file manager. I have and more all good

Aus Note 3
Regarding the Aussie Note 3 dock etc, I believe this is due to the ongoing legal crap between Sammy & Apple.
Use a custom launcher or flash other firmware?
Hi all. I am from Romania, Europe, and bought on 25th september a Note 3 from Korea. Is a N900K model, unlocked, so is working with my SIM from Vodafone RO. I had a Note 2 before and I was very happy with it. But now... I don't know... There are some problems and one is the lock screen shortcuts that I can't change. There is a "slide to right" menu were you can put the shortcuts, but not directly on the lock screen. Why?
thanks, it works without any security ... but in the my note 1 t can still have shortcut with some security

Galaxy Note 3 missing shortcut icons
Last week, I bought Samsung Galaxy Note 3. All features and configurations are very nice. But one thing is that I saw in Youtube video clips, for the other person's Note 3 have the shortcuts like S Voice, Action note and Touchwiz home but not for my one. Though I tried to create these icons, I can't do it. I know these apps are in there. It takes more than 4 days for me. No success. Can you help me. I can't find the clues anywhere.

in /system/csc the two files I checked were feature.xml & others.xml.
I think others.xml may not be important, I edited the option in there and still had no access to the Hotseat. Buit feature.xml worked.
The setting to change is
<CscFeature_Launcher_ReplaceHotseatAreaInEditMode>true</CscFeature_Launcher_ReplaceHotseatAreaInEditMode>
set it to false.
reboot, and you now can edit the hotseat / bottom row. thank christ for that.
So while teaserguy was only half helpful, a little bit of tinkering did help.
also, just incase anyone is unaware, yes.. you need to root your device to access these files.
:good:
So if anybody else like me is coming from the G2 and 3 you might be missing smart screen.. That little feature that detects your face while looking at the screen to keep the screen awake instead of fading out. I personally felt it a real convenience. I would like to get it back, I pulled the app from my G3 titled wise screen. I installed it like a normal app with success. I used activity launcher to try and launch it, but it fc's. So I'm guessing we'll need root to get it functional. When we do get root is there anyone else interested in joining me on this quest? I would really like to get this one up and running. I can't for the life of me understand why they left it off. I feel like I'm back on ics or jb with out it..
Try kinScreen from the playstore
It works great

I have to agree with you. I am so surprised they took it out. I spent 30 min on the phone trying to find it. I tried the app the other post recommended, not as good, it will never turn the phone off in the car when the phone is mounted and the car is moving.
I, too, was looking for the smartscreen settings. Was surprised that LG decided to remove it. Will try the above mentioned kinscreen later
Anyone know if Samsung removed it from the S6? They started the feature and it was one of the more useful features they added to Touchwiz. I was glad when LG copied it. Most of the other stuff was junk, but that was actually useful.
That sucks. I wonder if they removed smart screen to keep the screen from running down the battery.

What's really weird is that the Smart Screen app is installed on the phone. Go to app manager, and check out the "All" list and there's Smart Screen. There's just no way to activate it.

Here it is on the Verizon variant. Wow... this is the first time the Verizon version actually has something the others don't!
It's on the phone but doesn't seem to work. I don't see any place to enable it and creating an activity to open the app causes it to crash.
Never really worked for me on G2/3.
I miss this and have found an app on the play store that mimics it. It worked well for me on the G3.
Verizon has this. I disabled it though. It worked great on my G2 for the time I tested it. For me, I am typically using my phone while in the middle of doing something else. So it is a waste.

Not on mine H810. I am wondering if maybe they built something into the package? As since I have had mine, and if I'm using it or just looking at it the screen doesn't shut off.

On Verizon, you can see the service - it is not an app - BUT there are no Settings I can find or know of that actually allow you to activate it or interact with it in anyway. So it is "there" but seems to do nothing and cannot be setup.
EDIT: I used the hidden Verizon menu and found this "smart screen" but when you click on it, it forecloses and crashes. So, it is as if that first part of the services is there BUT the actual functionality is not as using the hidden Verizon menu I cannot activate it and access settings or turn it on to work - and I would think from that hidden menu, we should.

No, I'm not talking about Smart Lock, that doesn't have the option to stay unlocked while connected to a home WiFi that you know is secure. There's a location based one but apparently it isn't always working for me as sometimes I still need to use irises or PIN to unlock my phone at home. Very annoying.
Is there a good Galaxy S8 + compatible app for keeping my phone unlocked when connected to my home WiFi? Thanks!

Hey thanks for the reply, do I have to have the whole phone locked by App-lock so that it'll automatically unlock? I currently use my irises to unlock my phone.
Smart lock seems to work perfectly with a Bluetooth device. My Gear 2 watch is on me all the time, so I never see my lock screen unless I reboot the phone.
Use the integrated Smart Lock from google, you will find it under settings, lock screen and security.

Tasker does have a learning curve, however there are plenty of scripts & profiles online to paste in and/or modify. Once it's set up, you can forget about it. I use one to match a google calendar and mute according to a class schedule.

You obviously didn't read my post but thanks anyway. If you look, it only has a location feature, it doesn't specifically have a feature to keep unlocked while connected to a trusted WiFi connection. I'm looking for that feature because the location one doesn't always work. Location is on, settings for it on high, and I'm still having to put in my passcode/use the iris scanner. Not sure why it's not working as intended. I'll post screenshots if I have to though.

I'll probably have to try it out, not sure if I want to shell out the 2.99 for it. Maybe I'll wait till my Google Opinion Rewards gets it for me
I used Hi Locker on my LG G4 for this. I havent tried it yet on the S8, give it a try.
SO SORRY FOR THE LONG POST!!
Hey guys, I've been a long time fan of this site, but have never posted anything. I've been using Samsung phones forever and when Smart Call was added, it was the best. For those who don't know, Smart Call is a Built In feature that integrates with the dialer/ caller Id to help mitigate Spam calls and fraud calls. Its ABSOLUTELY free and works. I have the US Cellular S10+ and this free feature on my $1k phone has been disabled to push their paid feature called Call Guardian on us as well as other carriers doing the same. I can open system files and see that the "program" is there, but like I said it's been disabled somehow through software. This site is home to some of the smartest people out there. Have any of you guys found a way to enable features that Carriers have disabled without flashing (I'd love to but I'm scared I'd brick it). Any ideas or advice would be awesome! Thank you

Other than flashing the U1 firmware that's about it. Since it's a system app that's disabled by your carrier's csc configuration that's your only option.
Thank you for the quick response. That was what I was afraid of. Im pretty tech savvy so I believe I could, it's just I've never attempted to flash a phone before. I've looked online for some how-to info on flashing. Do you have any that you would recommend being a newbie to it?

There is a decent set of instructions here, just ignore step 1 and the fact it's for a different model. Download the modified Odin and U1 branded firmware from this post. Other than that it's pretty much self explanatory. Use your original charging cable to connect your phone to the PC and if you get stuck ask for help in the thread I linked. That's your best bet.
EDIT: Smart Call has a bug too. It disables when you restart your phone sometimes so you will need to re-enable it in the settings menu.
Thank you so much for taking the time to help me!
It's not on the unlocked F either. I was very dissappointed.
I have unlocked s10 sd but I have to re-enable the spam caller ID toggle after every reboot for some reason.

So, I've made a post on the Sprint Community Forum concerning this Smart Call lockout. I'm doing a mix of looking like I tried to research the issue and also rather pointedly not sounding like someone who was installing ROM's on Windows Mobile devices over a decade ago in the hopes that someone at Sprint will promise something they probably shouldn't in print. Maybe they'll get the point that this anti-competitive crap isn't going to fly forever.
For whatever it's worth, the unlocked Canadian version we bought at Best Buy has that feature available and it has remained enabled since first setting up the phone. Couldn't tell you the csc, but a heads up in the event it happens to be helpful somehow.
