Is there any way *quickly* toggle between lockscreen security modes without going into settings and re-do it there?
When I'm home, I only want "swipe" security for my lockscreen.
But when I go out, I want to use PIN for my lockscreen.
It would be great if I just toggle a "quick settings" button to select between the two modes.
But, the PIN code would need to STICK. Right now, I have to re-create it every time I switch between the two security options.
Any ideas?
A dashclock extension for this would be cool also.
There isn't something like that, but there IS a widget that is a quick shortcut to your lock screen settings. You'll still have to enter pins and stuff, but you'll save the effort of navigating there. It's the "settings" shortcut which should already come with the phone

Am I overlooking something here? I can't seem to modify the lock screen if PIN is enabled? My exchange admin requires a PIN code so the lock screen only shows the clock and then the number pad. I can tap and hold the clock and remove it but it comes back, I don't see anywhere to add extra widgets to the lock screen?
Swipe the clock to the right and touch on that BIG plus sign.
Next enter your PIN and you can then add a widget
I've tried that, the clock background gets whit but just kind of tilts to the right a bit, does not move at all. It won't swipe to the right and there is no plus sign. I can hold down and it will shrink but that only leaves me the option to delete. Now opens ok,
kangy, same thing with my Nexus 7, didn't have any plus icon. I'm can remove widget, too. But after unlock/lock circle it appears again and I still have no plus icon.
At least I'm not crazy then I wonder if you disabled the pin, changed the lock screen and put the pin back it would stick. I had to jump back to 4.1.2 for logmein or I would try it out

You're not crazy, it happened to me as well. Frustrating since the only way to remove my pin is to remove my exchange account. Hopefully someone can provide some clarity here
That's strange. I have a pin on my admin lock screan but I can add widgets on it, and allso on the
second user.
This is not an issue with the pin per se it has to do with the Exchange policy. So far I have yet to find a way around it with my exchange administrator. I think it is up to Google to not enforce this daft policy.
I can now get access to the clock (click clock once, PIN PAD highlights, enter PIN, clock opens). But still can't change or add widgets. How's that done?
Definitely has something todo with an exchange account policy. Was experiencing the same problem, deleted my work exchange account, and the widgets reappeared.
Why on earth would any exchange policy alter the ability to see widgets (or take pictures from my galaxy nexus) without logging in first? Really annoying.
my guess is because you can make one of those widgets emails
I was wondering this as well. My work made me install the Google device policy app. One of the policies turns out to be 'disable lock screen widgets'.
I installed dashclock on my note3, but don't see a way to activate it. The lock screen has only a single page. Maybe because I have a pin enabled?? Anyone have an idea of how to get working?

Go to Settings, Device, Lock screen and enable Multiple Widgets. Dashclock works great on mine!
no such option

I don't have that option on my lock screen settings. Sprint Note3. I have disabled some apps, maybe that did it.

I have Sprint N3 too. Settings>Device tab> Lockscreen (under personalization) > Multiple Widgets - ON
Wake up the device but don't unlock. Tap on the clock to enlarge it. Swipe to the Right to reveal a blank lock screen page with a big "+" on it. Tap that then scroll down to DashClock. Works great on mine.
Don't see that
When I tap lock screen the available items are:
- screen lock
- clock widget options
- personal message
- owner info
- lock automatically
- lock instantly
- action memo
There is nothing about multiple widgets. Also, I can't tap to increase the clock size on the lock screen.
I just removed my PIN security and I get multiple lock screen. Truned PIN security back on and no dashclock. That must be the issue.

Yeah, i just tried PIN security on mine and it removes those options. I guess displaying widgets with potentially sensitive info on the lockscreen isn't too secure so it unlocks directly to the home screen.
Hi
Looking to achieve this:
1) No lockscreen on most situations
2) Secure lockscreen when I wish for it (and will enable it manually)
However, I do not want to go to settings and turn the secure lock screen on constantly, as it would be cumbersome. I want to do it in a nicer and cleaner way, namely a widget (well superb solution would be by a toggle button in notification panel, but I guess that's just a dream idea). So I would have a widget on a homescreen that would enable/disable this secure lock screen.
I was looking for some widgets that would set current lockscreen on/off, but after 4.1 or 4.2 it is (seems) impossible if we talk about galaxy s4. So instead I would set no lock screen (with stock settings), and then just enable/disable an external application that would mimick the secure lockscreen itself.
Do any of you know of any app, that has this abbility (most welcome is a widget, but if no app like that, it can as last resort be, a on/off toggle button upon launching the app).
I have the "Multiple Widgets" option turned on, but it doesn't bring out the "Favorite Apps" and "Camera" options. In the lockscreen when I try to swipe the clock to get to the "+" thing to add a widget, all the clock does is do a partial flip and get stuck. Even when I remove the clock I still can't add widgets to replace it and it comes back when I relock the device. Please someone help me because I'm really stumped.

Setting > Device > lock-screen > set swipe then > multiple widgets > select favorite apps and save
if this config not work first try restart and if problem remains try factory reset.
:good:

I already had it set to "Swipe" and turned "Multiple Widgets" on, but there's no "Favorite Apps" option anywhere. Plus the other problems I mentioned.
Silly me, I found the "Favorite Camera" and "Camera" options by tapping the "Multiple Widgets" option. However, I still can't swipe the default clock widget on the lock screen to get to "+" sign and add widgets (all it does is a partial flip and get stuck), and when I remove the the widget I can't add a replacement anyway and it comes back whenever I relock the screen.
Someone please help me because I'm really stumped here.

Did you find a solution to this because I've got the same problem. I set the widgets up no problem when I first got the device but when I came to change them I found that it doesn't work anymore. Something is obviously causing it to fail but I've no idea what. I really don't want to do a factory reset.
Hey all.
Does anybody have any idea how you change/remove widgets from the lock screen?
I'm using knock knock code, I have the large clock in the top half but wanted to change it to a calendar.
I can't for the life of me work out how your do this!
Anybody got any idea?
Thanks.

Swipe the clock widget to the right, then swipe back to the clock/unlock screen. Then you will be able to long-press on the clock and remove it. Then you'll see 'tap to add widgets' and you can choose the calendar.
Yeah, Ive tried that, It just does this lol.
Try it without Knock Code (with swipe).
Yip, Tried that ... Same thing ..
Trying to work out what the arrow at the bottom is for, it dont see to do anything.
I never even used to have the knock knock cope option, I updated my phone via the support tool, I have the knock know code but cant change the lock screen widget. I mean even when im on the lock screen i used to be able to swipe right to start the camera and now i cant even do that.
I'm thinking something has been changed in the update, Can anybody on the same build as me confirm they can still swipe from the lock screen to start the camera app and change lock screen widgets? ... Its definitely different than before.
Try using swipe lock screen and lock your device. Then wake the device. Swipe down on the clock. Then press and hold the widget. You should then have the ability to remove it. If you have no other lock screen widget, you will end up with a huge + giving you the option to add another widget. If this doesn't work (it should), reboot and try again.

It wont budge, Before if i had a pin code at the lock screen set i could just swipe the pin code area down, It then ask me for my pin, I could then long press the clock and a option to "remove" would be at the top of my screen, When the widget area was blank i would see a large + sigh, I could tap this and be given a number of widgets i could put there!
The clock just wont budge now no matter what i try!
Same Deal Here
Ever since the update, it seems I can't remove the default clock widget either. Swiping down does bring up the arrow (just as it used to) but it won't stay on long enough to long press the clock (as soon as you take your finger off it goes back to normal). I'm going to do some experimenting with WidgetLocker, see if I can't get it back to where I want it (obviously figuring this out would be ideal, but I'm starting to wonder if it's possible anymore. I've seen articles about enabling widgets, but haven't found what they're telling me to look for).
Edit: Got it figured out. It turns out I had somehow turned off the lockscreen widgets & disabled the feature through Secure Settings.

Don't know if you've been back to this thread but changing Secure Settings settings worked for me.
