Is there a way I can automatically disable security (aside from the swipe) when it connects to my home network? I have no need for it to be locked at home and it would be annoying to disable every single time. Is there a way to only use the security when it's on the 4g network?
Anyone?
Look for an app on Play Store called Tasker. You can set it up that when connected to your Wifi it will do remove your screen lock etc

I have the Same need.
I tried using AutomateIt to do this but it doesn't have the option to manipulate the lock screen.
Ill check tasker.
There's some vids on here that show you how to use Tasker to achieve this. Have a look at the XDA TV link above, I'm sure your search/navigation-fu is strong
I thought I heard this would be a stock feature, and now that I've searched around a bit here I see I haven't gone crazy and it was initially announced. Sounds like some carriers may have it, but maybe no one does at all.
If you want something that doesn't have the overhead of tasker consider trying No Lock off the market. It has a 1x widget that looks like a padlock and you touch it to either enable the lockscreen or disable it. I've been using it for years and it has worked perfectly on one device after another. This has the benefit of allowing you to disable or enable the lock screen situationally at any time and place in the simplest and quickest possible manner.

No Lock doesn't work on my S4 unfortunately.
Good app if it worked.
Weird, works same as always on mine which is the international 9500. Worked on the stock rom, a couple other stock roms I tried, all the custom roms. I do get it though, I've also been using winamp for quite a while but this S4 gets a lag issue with the 4x1 widget that I never had before. Essentially whatever screen I place it on gets a lag going to that screen from either direction while the rest of the screens are smooth. Does it with every rom and all the launchers I use. Go figure. Using the stock music for now.

Do you have any security set for your lock screen?
Or just swipe to unlock?

Yes it was said to be included just like other stuff samsung left out. S4 = big mess
Swyped from another galaxy
Spend the time and money on tasker, you'll be glad you did. I have it set that when I'm near cell towers near home, it'll turn on Wi-Fi, then connect to my home network, then disable keyguard, then lower volume or put on vibrate, it's awesome.

So I want to use the pattern lock on my Atrix but I hate that I have to slide to unlock, then pattern lock. It should only be one, not both! I've searched but can't find anything. Even tried to use tasker, but couldn't get it to work.
I don't see why you really NEED to bypass the "slide to unlock" thing. I mean it takes an additional what.... half a second? If you want to bypass stuff... why not just use the fingerprint? works even quicker because there's absolutely no wasted sliding required.
I know it only takes an extra half a second. But I look at my phone often and would prefer it not to be that way. I used the fingerprint scanner when I first got it but it wasn't smooth.
So yes I am aware of arguments against, but this is MY PREFERENCE, so if you can help id like to hear.
agree, if you have password, this should be the only unlock

Are you using a home screen replacement like DxTop? If so they often have their own custom lockscreens - check the preferences in your homescreen replacement and the stock android lockscreens - they often don't play nicely together (they do what you're describing, multiple lockscreens)
install nolock. but that will also disable every type of security. since it allows to turn on display with volume buttons, i don't care
you should find it in the settings of the app you're using for the lockscreen
No im not using anything special besides ADW which doesnt have a lockscreen. It just makes me slide to unlock to the pattern lock which I think is stupid.

I have the T-Mobile version and it worked in the beginning, but now I can't get it to work
A shame since I was just getting used to it and how to gesture it on and off.
This seems to be a Samsung issue rather than a carrier fault.
(mine is unlocked and in use on AT&T)
Would it be advisable to contact Samsung directly?
Go to Settings>Device>Accessibility, and check under "Services". Having apps turned on there can break the one-handed function.
I have NiLS for lockscreen notifications, but it seems to run fine even when the service permission is turned off.

Bingo! Thank You barnabydog!
The good news: It worked! I turned off the offending app and I'm back in business!
The bad news: The offending app was Pebble (smartwatch)
A feature that is more useful to me than the one handed mode . . .
So then is this the sad state of affairs? I have to choose between my Mini-screen mode and my smart watch?
How did you know about this barnabydog?
is there another thread that discusses this issue?
Yes, but I was too lazy to search for it.

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.

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.

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.

On the previous Moto devices with Moto Display, the notifications would "pulse." Meaning until you dismissed the notification, every few seconds, the screen would fade in and out...It was actually a great feature...They probably dumped it to save a little bit of battery life...

Go into your Moto app. Third option should be "Display". Toggle it on. You can block specific apps from displaying by selecting "Block Apps", as I believe all apps will show by default.
After trying dozens of apps I think I found something that can work. There are several 3rd party lock screens that offer breath notifications but you end up losing the finger print reader function which was a big selling point to me. NoLed worked but you either need to shut off your lock screen or basically have two lockscreens which is kinda a pain.
So I thought maybe I just need to have the phone remind me I have a notification. I scoured the Google play store and came across an application called Recurrent Notification Manager which in my first days use seems to work. You basically tell Recurrent Notification Manager what app to monitor set the time you want the app to be refreshed and it's good to go. Best thing is you can still keep the fingerprint reader and the moto display on with the cool hand wavy thing.
It is a free app but if you want it to monitor more then one app with you have to pay $1.70. Also this app is a bit rough around the edges it's only got a 3.0 rating in the Google play store but everything seems to be working fine on my end.

In my experience, notifications will breathe until dismissed. Motos running Marshmallow handled these notifications differently than Nougat-based Moto's now do, but it's the same in principle.

Verizon updated the Z force to 7.0 and although it says in the moto app that the screen is supposed to flash in and out when you get notifications it just flashes once.

I was able to get NoLED to work. However, when you have a notification on the blank (or maybe lock) screen you have to dismiss it by touching the home button. Once I do that I touch the fingerprint scanner and the phone unlocks. It is an extra touch, but not too bad. I will check out the app you reference above as well.

Unfortunately, I no longer own this phone. I posted this nearly two years ago.
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.
