Lockscreen - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is hard to explain but is there anyway to make my lock screen have the little lock in the bottom instead of the pattern .
You get the little lock when you pull down the clock down. Then when you press the lock the pattern appear to unlock the phone.
I put some picture to explained better

Only way I know is to set the security to swipe instead of pattern.

I done that before and it just does the same. It just has the giant swipe symbol not the small clock

So when you go into the settings/security/screen lock and set it to "slide" you still have a pattern on your unlock screen? Weird. Are you on stock or custom?

I get where you're getting at. No, there is no way to do what you're asking from the stock setup. You'll either have to write some code and mod it yourself or find an aftermarket lock screen app that does what you want.

Do you lock your S4?

I would like to use the icons on my phones lock screen but I don't like the idea of someone having access to my phones data if I were to lose it or have it stolen. How many of you lock your phone using the lock screen? Use something else? Or let it run unprotected?
I don't put a password lock or anything on mine, but I keep an extra battery on me so i never have to plug it in and leave it somewhere and I therefore always have it on me.

Same here.
I had to sacrifice the lock screen widgets because I have to have a pin lock.

Lock screen notifications

Anyone know of a few good ones out there? I've tried a few but they didn't seem to work. I'm tired of the ugly message box when I get a text etc.

That's one of the ones I tried but it was weird. It would notify me of missed calls but I would still get the stock SMS notification (yellow box) also, the missed calls would only clear from my lock screen if I pulled down my notification bar. I'll give it another shot.

I just tried this one. I added email, missed calls and SMS but I'm still getting the stock text message notification. It is showing me email though.

I was able to get the dash clock one to work but how do I make it my default lock screen? Every time I lock my phone it goes back to the stock lock screen. When I long press the lock screen I can cycle between the 2 lock screens but I can't "trash" the stock one like I can the dash clock one. I also can't change the order of them. I though maybe if I placed the dash clock in front of the stock it would set as default...no dice.

Move the dash clock one all the way to the right.

You can try Knock2+ It's very similar to Active Display.

what rom are you on? if there is an option in the lockscreen settings to use aosp or touchwiz lockscreen choose touchwiz and on your lockscreen touch and hold the clock you want to remove and remove it. click the plus sign symbol and add dashclock. go into your messaging app, go into settings and uncheck the option to "preview message". that should fix your problem
I used lockerpro lock screen it works really good. Also used dynamic notifications its simple and just like the moto x active notifications. I don't use anything anymore just stock light notification.

Symbols are back to front

Something weird is going on with my Nexus 4, I woke up this morning and all my icon locations are back to front! What I mean is up the top where the symbols on the right hand side of the screen where battery, reception and Wifi symbols usually are, they're now on the left side and the 3 buttons on the bottom are inverted and back to front. I'll upload a couple of screen shots to help explain.
As you can see also when I go into settings everything is opposite too.
Even scrolling through my apps I have got to swipe from left to right!
Anyone know how to fix this problem?

Have u tried simply rebooting it/
Also, is ur N4 rooted?
Yes I have tried rebooting it several times and no it's not rooted. Also, the most annoying thing with this problem I forgot to mention is the 3 buttons on the bottom are not responsive either. I've turned on "show touches" in developer settings and it seems that the very bottom of the screen is not registering touches. If I want to use the buttons I have to flip screen to landscape and move the buttons to the top of the screen.

Maybe it's an accessibility option? Check in Settings>Accessibility.
If found any seem to solve your issue, the most sure way to solve it is to flash a factory image. Check out efrants guide.
