Lockscreen

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.

Wave over Lock screen

Any way to set the Touchwiz Wave over info screen as a Lock screen widget?

So that you can always view the Quick Glance information? From what I know, the Samsung framework has no way to do that. It would be rather cool to entirely replace the background to the Quick Glance screen.
The Play Store may have some widgets that can give you something comparable that can also be added to the lock screen.

Will see if I can crack it open to be able to replace the background.

It looks like the background for the quick glance screen is one of the stock live wallpapers...I wonder what effect freezing them in TiBu would have?

Taking a Screenshot

Firstly, Mod if there is already a thread on this topic please move my post there.
I'm experiencing serious problems when trying to take a screenshot with the palm swipe. I had no problem whatsoever on my S III. I'm disabled & can't use the shortcut.
Ideas? TX

I find holding the power and the home button is more convenient for a screenshot, try that maybe?

Won't work for me as I have limited movement in my hands.

Is there anything blocking the sensor at the top? (Screen protector, case, etc)?

No. I have a Cimco TPU case (more like a sleeve) & it's not blocking the sensor.

I just tried the palm swipe and I realized I had to press on the screen with more force than on the S3 (I've tried both). Also I think air gesture has to be toggled on (as well as palm motion obviously )

Hmm. I'm pretty darn sure air gesture is toggled too but will check again. I'll also try pressing harder.

Just remembered to respond. Air Gesture was turned off. That said, I remember taking a few screenshots just after I got the phone & AG was definitely off. I also read a bit more about this feature. Supposedly you can hold a finger ~3" over the sensor & it'll activate. Not on my phone...

It's been my experience that I have to physically touch the screen in order for the screen wipe to take a screenshot. I've also found this feature somewhat unreliable as it sometimes moves the screen and then takes a shot of a screen that I have no interest in.

Exactly. I guess I'll see what Samsung has to say.

Help

I am getting really annoyed with the second unlock screen. I unlock using fingerprints, then comes up to a lock screen that you push unlock and has a ad and battery level. How do I get rid of this?!
Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

You're going to have to figure out which app you installed that adds the 2nd lock and ads. I've seen others talk about it on here, but I can't remember which app was the culprit.

Do you have ES file explorer installed? If so, uninstall. They are becoming very shady since the new owner.

Also keeps coming up with "turn off screen overlay from settings apps"

My son has a battery saver app that dose this.

How do you unlock with just fingerprint?

I have messed around the settings a ton and I just can't seem to find the option if there even is one. I want to just unlock the phone by placing my finger on the scanner. Is there also any way to diable turning the screen on with the always on home button?

Mine unlocks with finger print.. no buttons just finger the scanner from the always on screen

Mine does it'll ask for pattern or code as a backup in case prints fail

Using nova launcher instand lock? This will require a pin insert.
