Screen slide lock issue

My original screen lock has gone all of a sudden. Theres no lock icon that i can slide. Instead my phone just says ' to unlock the device tap unlock' .
Bit weird. Id like the original slider back if possible. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

press the windows button on the left side of the taskbar
then go down and press lock
it starts working again...its a common bug of the newer roms.

Suddenly my lock slider disappered too. Pressing the windows button and choose lock makes it work once but when I've unlocked it with the slider and set the phone to standby it won't appear again. Help... Very annoying.

Installing the HeartofWolf lock screen might fix it.. I never had this problem but it basically moves the lock slider to the bottom of the screen. Might also keep it up always and rule out this bug in sense..

It did move the slider to the bottom (Which was nice) but it did not solve my problem that the slider won't show up when I wake up the device :-(

Which is the exact cab that i need the slide bar down? I saw a list of HeartOfWolf cabs and didn't want to experiment one after the other to make sure it worked with Sense & HD2... Cheers...

Help me reduce the button presses to check messages

currently when i get an sms i have to:
-press a hard key
-unlock the slider
-press the message tab
-then when i get to messages it isn't set to the latest message it is set to the last message checkeds
-then i have to scroll to message 1
coming from android that is a lot of button presses. in android you could actually read the first couple of lines from the lockscreen. is there a way for me to reduce the button presses?

Install S2U2.

S2U2 will be able to display the message on the screen (while the phone remains locked).
Do you have win6.5 lock enabled? when you get a message it should have a message slider and if you slide that it will automatically take you to the sms tab (or email tab if you got an email or missed call tab if you got a missed call or.....)

Set titanium as home screen then after unlock hit text.

Or you could:
-press a hard key
-tap the slider
-unlock the new slider which pops up
should take you directly to your new message.

this takes me to the messages tab, but it does not take me to the latest message. it takes me to the last message i checked when i was in that tab so i still have to scroll once.
i will check out that s2u2 and report back.

ok so i downloaded s2u2 and love the functionality of it. i hate the fact that it looks like iphone though i wish it were more original looking. or even the same but a different colorway, especially in the message bubble that pops up. but hey, it was free and works great so thanks for suggesting it.
much better than the stock lock screen for sure!

There is a disturbing amount of themes for S2U2, if you don't like the stock one (which does mimic the iphone alot) you should look at the other ones.

How do I enable this, I've seen the message slider in other peoples screenies, but I'm not sure how to enable it.
Many thanks

install the hd mini unlock screen, shows most of the message when you wake up the phone with out having to slide to unlock

You just click the slider instead of sliding it. It obviously only works if there's something to show you.

Yeah but at the moment, message or missed call, these icons on the lock screen don't show.

bump, thanks for any pointers

So I understand, after a missed call, email sms etc. do you see a number on the unlock slider? If so, and you tap the unlock slider, you should see one or more notification sliders pop down. Are those not appearing? If that's the case, have you ever installed anything intended to modify the lockscreen in any way?

Yes I have (See screenie), but even before this change I've not had the other icons come up. I've always wondered how I could get them to show up since having the phone.
I'm on Orange network (UK) and on official 1.66 rom.
Thanks for your help.

LOL, it has a little number "1" on your slider, lol
just tap that a$$

Still nothing, that screenie was taken after tapping
It's not important, it would just be nice.

well it is displaying right. normally you would just touch the slider instead of sliding it and a secondary slider would appear, but if that is not happening for you i don't know where in the settings to enable/disable it.

I can't imagine why it's not working. I've attached a cab with the original lockscreen files. You may try installing it and see if that works. Outside of that, you may have a reg setting inadvertantly changed somewhere.
@methodz: Are you still using S2U2? If not, or you go back to the oem LS, I think we can take your original question one step further (literally). Not sure if you've seen this, but you can change the commmand of the notification slider to go directly to your email inbox instead of the manila tab, or have the sllider actually call your voicemail directly instead of taking you to the dialpad. I dunno about sms as I haven't tried it, but either way it may worth looking at the bottom of this post here by Da_G: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4268138&postcount=3. It will require a tad of registry editing, but for me it's worth it. Less steps to get to things.

lockscreen pin pad highlighted *fixed

Hey guys - Is there a way to fix this issue on my lockscreen or is this normal? When the pin pad is initially displayed, it looks like it is selected, because it has the gray highlight, like this screenshot.
Then if I touch anywhere other than the pin pad it deselects it and looks more normal, like this screenshot. I can enter my PIN both ways, but the gray highlight really bugs me. Any ideas?

Fixed. It was the gravity box 'enable slide before unlock' option. Once it was disabled it displays like it should.

Is there a way to fix this without disabling the gravity box mod?
I really like being able to use the ring unlock targets prior to entering my pin but I also hate the highlighted look.

How to get spinning circle notification on LED Flip Wallet like in this video ?

EDIT: Firmware update in canada fixed these issues.
Look here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlGO2VXvAc0
8min 32seconds. His LED flip cases are getting that spinning circle notification for things like whatsapp and stuff.
All I get on mine is missed call and text.
I don't get missed email alert or missed whatsapp or the spinning circle (which I think is a general notification for any 3rd party app that isn't phone or text)
I checked every setting !
I also did a hard reset (hold down 3 buttons, navigate with volume and hard reset and reboot)
Nothing helped.... I still don't get that spinning circle notification.
Any help would be appreciated.
PS: Samsung support has no idea whats the issue...

I tried hard reset, still not getting it
Any ideas?

I got my Note 4 on the 21st of january, the led flip wallet the day after and I've had de circling dots since the beginning. Running Dutch NK4 build completely stock.

I get the circling dots, I get an an icon when something new arrives but after that.. just the dots.
If I press the side button or open/close the case, all I get is the time - no icons to show what's been missed. Is this the normal/expected way it works?
I'm unimpressed!

I think it only displays missed Call and Text.
For email, whatsapp and all other notifications, it only does the spinning dots.

I get the circling dots pretty much all the time, even when I have no notifications. eg Right now. If I open the cover, slide down the notification panel, there are no notifications. If I close the case, the time briefly displays and the case then goes blank for a whole minute. Then up pops the spinning circle again.
Yes the case is on properly. :crying:

Hide the iris scanner camera when unlocking?

Hi everyone, I was wondering if it were possible to hide seeing my face when using the iris scanner, I think it would look more neat.
I know you can activate the iris scanner as soon as you wake up the phone but I set the home button to automatically unlock (since I use smart lock and that makes it very convenient) so when I press the home button it'll instantly go to the unlock screen where the front cam is activated.
OK I guess I could use the power button instead but I was wondering if there's a way with the home button. Thanks!

Mine is intermittent as to when it does show the camera view. Most of the time it will just come up with a line of text saying look here for iris scanning and I'm never quite sure where I'm supposed to actually be looking.

You should be watching towards the top of the screen near the grid, you should do this even before turning the screen on and it's faster and more accurate

If you look at the red light left hand corner it's unlocks instantly

Yeah its not too bad, i wear glasses so is a bit of a pain sometimes it works through them most of time it doesn't. I might try and get used to doing that "guess where the fingerprint scanner is without putting your finger all over the camera lense" manoeuvre.
I meant why does it *sometimes* come up with the camera viewfinder - does yours *always* come up with the camera viewfinder?

It shows the camera when the unlock isn't instant, or this is what I noticed, just wanted to hide that for a sleeker look

Not an answer but an option. You can go into Settings>Lock screen and security>Iris Scanner>Preview screen mask
There's some goofy masks but maybe there is one that might preset a "sleeker" look for you.

Yep I know about that, that makes everything even worse imo Ahah the main problem to the "sleeker look" is that the camera is super low res, I don't know just feel it's useless but u guess there's no way to get rid of it

I got exactly same question !
That things is pure ugly in term of design and aesthetic, LoL
Hopefully someone can found a way to permanently hide that visual

To unlock your S8 or S8+ with your iris without seeing the camera preview go to:
Settings => Lock screen and security => Iris Scanner
... and turn on the very last option called "Iris unlock when screen turns on".

Thank you,
But we already know and use that option indeed.
But sometimes, we want to jnlock the phone on the table, when its not facing our face, thus we slide up the lock screen,
And then, bam, those ugly visual appear above the PIN number pad. LoL
Sure it has nothing wrong with the function. We just simply hate how it "broke" our beautiful lockscreen layout

LOOOL, I'm sorry but that made me laugh. I guess we'll have to wait for a tweak.

You can trigger the iris scanner again by clicking the text on the top center instead of swiping, this will not show the guidance visual.

I found the best way to mitigate this is to do two things.
1. Enable the toggle for "iris unlock when screen turns on" under lockscreen>iris scanner
2. Disable the toggle for "Unlock with home button" under setting>display>navigation bar
It's still not perfect but I'm at 90% success rate and it's far faster than fingerprint debacle. I figure when you press the home screen without option 2, phone triggers instant to unlock. With it unchecked it pauses so you can look at notifications.
Should default this way imo.

By golly you are right!

I know this is an old thread but I just would like to thank you for this tip! I always look at the line of text to unlock my phone and it sometimes doesn't do the trick. But looking at the red dot hasn't failed me yet!!! And it's almost instantaneous! Thanks for this tip.
