I'm running the M build of CM10.1, and can't add widgets to my lock screen. Swiping from left to right just bounces the screen, rather than showing a "+" sign to add a widget. Is the feature not enabled on our build, or am I missing a letter somewhere that turns it on?
Thanks!
do you have corporate email set up with device admin privileges?
to check, go to settings -> security -> device administrators.
some device admin privileges (like the one for email) disable some features for the keypad lock (or lockscreen).
beware though that disabling the device admin privs for email will also delete your email account from the phone (i think).

I am considering one of these phones. I have a G1 now and like the specs on this better.
I use my phone to sync with Exchange 2007 and I see there are some issues with that. Not a big deal if I can get Touchdown working on this phone. That is what I use now and it is fine.
On to my question. Our security policy at work requires a password to unlock the screen on phones synced to our exchange server. I have seen where there is a screen lock to prevent pocket dials. Do they still have the option to enable the password pattern like what the older G1 has? Work was fine with that for a password.
Thanks
AFAIK, the built in active sync client does not support the enforecement of security policies. However, touchdown does support the enforecement of a 4 digit pin (and probably other security policies). This basically means that you must enter the pin you set when launching the touchdown application. It's not a bad implementation, but I do wish the android screen lock could somehow "qualify" as entering the pin.
Main screen -> Menu button -> Settings -> Location & Security
in there you will see the pattern settings.
(Yes pattern lock is available.)

Thanks. So it sounds like it is just like my G1. I don't have a N1 yet but before I ordered one I wanted to make sure.
Greetings.
Settings - Device - Lock screen - Screen lock: there should be "no lock" option among others like pattern, pin etc. But it's gone. I've got a second device which does have it. They are both updated to the latest 4.4.2 android. The main difference is - mine had been rooted, unrooted, untrriped Knox and installed manually (by odin) the previous firmware. The last one I've got by Wi-Fi. No resets whatsoever.
So my question is where this option now is hiding? It's some bug due to flashing my phone or something about Knox being activated and run? Maybe I should clear data in some app?
remove all your mail accounts (it might be your work email account - some ms exchange acc)
Clear all certificates under security.
"Clear credentials" is greyed out. There are a lot of them in "trusted credentials" but I presume you're not talking about them. I'll try removing emails one by one then.
Honor 5X comes with enhanced privacy settings. You can provide a password or PIN which are not to be viewed by others. And you can choose things here as per you need.
Go to Settings > Security > Privacy Protection. This section will let you hide contacts, call logs, notifications, call records, SMS, apps and albums.
It will be asking for the PIN/ Password. First it will ask for you and other one will be for Guest. So type a PIN / Password that you can remember. This is Owners Password. On the next screen you have to provide a Guest password. Type another PIN / Password here and Tap on Continue. Guest PIN requires confirmation two times.
Now you can see Private Data Section. From here you can do three things.
You can choose your
1. Private Contacts
2. Private Album
3. Private Apps
Now if you unlock you mobile with Guest fingerprint or guest password, the apps (or) albums (or) Contacts which you have chosen in the previous screen wont be shown.
I want to turn off the lock screen, not even swipe, but there is no "none" option in Security settings. Originally, my phone was an Amazon ads phone, but I paid the $50 to get rid of ads (spent hours trying to remove using debloater tool from this website but hit brick wall). I thought maybe that was what was preventing the "none" lock screen option, but I still don't see it. I have Android 6.0.1.
Any suggestions? Does anyone who has an Amazon phone (with or without ads) see the "none" option in Security settings for lock screen? (with Android 6.0.1+)
Thanks!
I believe the issue you are experiencing is related to the presence of a guest account. On older versions of the g if there was a guest account the none option for the screenlock disappeared. I just tried to disable the guest account on my prime g4, but don't see a way to actually remove the account.
I can't seem to figure out how to remove/disable the guest user account...

Unless you're rooted I don't believe you can remove it.
Phone screen just flickers on and off when I get FB notifications. Seems like a glitch.
When this happens, is the phone in vibration mode? Other possibility is that you may have set a screen passcode recently and in the process also enabled hide sensitive notifications and it is possible that it may be interfering for phone to wake up on certain notifications. Are the FB messages from messenger present when you do wake the screen or do they show up right after you wake up the screen? You may have changed the phone sync settings or if you have enabled power saving mode, phone may not be checking for notifications from certain apps or in intervals or both, or if you or another app have disabled facebook messenger from syncing or changed background data settings (for example datally is an app from google helps save data if you don't have unlimited plan but in the process it disables most apps from connecting to internet by default).
I would suggest go in settings, then apps, then tap on three dots on top right, enable 'show system apps', then look for any apps related to facebook, click on each one go to 'storage' then 'clear data'. Make sure you do this for all of them before you go back into FB or messenger. You will have to log in FB again and it is quite possible that this will fix the issue if settings were the cause. (Edit: Try uninstall and reinstall the app). If it doesn't work, and you have checked through all the possibilities above, you may have to do a factory reset, setup the phone again and reinstall FB and Messenger app first then install a few apps at a time to try and catch any apps that might be responsible. One last possibility that i can think of is that it is also possible a recent update to the app by FB may have caused this bug instead of you or your phone.

That's an interesting point you make, because the phone is doing just that - The phone isn't actually vibrating until I hit the screen and wake it. So they're essentially showing up right after I wake the screen. This is despite the fact that the message was sent minutes beforehand, so it would've been received by all accounts. Appreciate the help!

Very likely you have the Battery saver feature turned on. When it is on, among other things, the background activity and data of apps get restricted. I am very sure that this is the cause for the issue you are having. You can either turn off Battery saver mode or add FB Messenger to the Power saving exclusions list to get your FB push notifications back.
Appreciate all the help man!
Great thank you!
