How to get Dash Clock widget on S4 lock screen ?

With our Galaxy S4, I can't figure out how to get the 'Dash Clock' widget on the lock screen ?
Aldo the S4 lock screen doesn't seem to allow swiping to the left or tight for the other lockreens, to add widgets and stuff ?

Goto:
settings/ my device/ lock screen and make sure multiple widgets is checked. Then you will be able to add widgets to your lock screen.

Ok, I did that, and then I press on the lock screen before I swipe to open it, and hold press the screen, trying to add widgets nothing happening, and the option to swipe left or right on the lock screen, just doesn't work at all it seems on Touchwiz ?

comatose1978 has it right. After you select that setting, go back to the lock screen and swipe left and hit the Plus Sign to add the widget. After you have it added, press and hold to reorder them, to make Dash Clock the default.
When you drag right or left, make sure you are dragging on the widget its self, not the empty area on the screen (cause then it will trigger the swipe to unlock).
Attatched is a screenshot of my phone, held halfway between lockscreen widget pages.

Great thank you. But I just installed Widget Locker instead, gave me more options, and seems to go better with Dash Clock than the stock Touchwiz lock-screen.

Is there a ability to set dashclock as the main lookscreen and use it, when you have a look pattern?

You cannot add custom widgets to the lockscreen with security enabled, like a lock pattern.

No, I'm pretty sure an xposed module let's you use widgets with security on. Could be wrong though

Report your bugs on 6.0 Z5

I think this topic will be usefull for everyone.
So what I've found is when I separately cover each speaker with my finger, upper one (next to sony logo) is louder than lower one, there is more sound and bass, lower one is only playing higher notes and it sounds low.. I had no problems on 5.1, now I have that problem on 6.0, anyone else?

Well, in my case i can hear some differences between the upper and lower speakers.... honestly i never check this before but i think that's normal.

1. Spotify song notification doesn't appear on lockscreen until the song changes
2. Using screen locking apps (Tasker, Nova Launcher) disables unlock using fingerprint

Small Apps panel under the navbar at all times.
Louder phone resulting in cracklings in upper speaker.

Automatic optimisation with headset plugged in causes MASSIVE distortion (Russian firmware or Nordic combined, wipe all data)

@goRt, got that too this morning. Managed to tap it and toggle it on/off and worked fine after.

No screen icon in battery usage panel, just plain black cube instead.

In fact, every system icons are affected by the problem. You see the icon "decal", but not the actual icon. A moderator on the official Sony forum has already escalated that issue to the developement team

I am little dumb today:
You mean Nova launcher screen lock as "cannot make changes to home screen"? Cannot find any other nova settings regarding "screen lock"ing

Fingerprint
The fingerprint unlocking fonction stops suddenly, the phone must be restarted to reactivate the service and work again.
When the adaptative brightness is on, the dark tones come greys.
The battery loses 6% overnight on standby mode.
Operator Customized IT

@Pressburg, Nova Settings > Gestures & inputs > Double tap (or any other gesture) > Screen lock. Now use that gesture on the homescreen and try to unlock using the fingerprint.

oh, just tried that. The snesor just opened the pattern which I set up as a secondary unlock possibility. So i guess you're right
EDIT: but when you lock the screen with the power button or just let it lock by itself, the fingerprint works. even when the gesture lock is on. odd..

That's the standard Marshmallow behaviour, even Nexus users are having the same "issue".

I can't login to Snapchat after installing Marshmallow. It says "Your login temporarily failed."

Customize Navbar Buttons? Wireless Charging?

Title says it all.

What kind of customization? Moving or other? You can swap positions and add a couple predefined LG buttons. Lg says there will be a wireless charging but I will believe when I see it. All this info is available in threads. Those threads say more.

I want to add a screen off and an old-fashioned menu button.

yea I would like to have that option as well.

I also use a screen off button. The one I use can no longer be found on the playstore. Not sure why but I had a backup of the apk on my sd card and it seems to work fine.

Screen off, double tap on any place of the screen where an app icon is not placed.
Menu, what kind of menu button are you looking for?

I'm looking to add a menu button to the on screen keys

Menu button? Do you mean settings button?

Long press on home screen.
Select widget tab
Scroll to the settings shortcut widget.
Add the settings shortcut widget.
Another way is to drag and drop the settings icon from the app drawer

Is any app you could use to prevent from screen to shutting down? I mean, I used to use "always on" app but with 7.0 is not working correctly.
I wish I could just read the book and not to tap the screen all the time to wake screen up.

On my G3 there was an option called "Smart Screen" that kept the screen on while you were looking at it. I loved that option. I don't know why LG got rid of it. It was a separate app. I wonder if it would still work on V20

Screebl... I've used it for years, customizable Screen on based on phone orientation.

Always on works perfect on my v20. I also use screen off widget to turn my screen off as well as double tap to turn on.

problem with screen off and any widget or app i have found is that it is a harder lock than just hitting the button.. you will need a pattern to unlock it just like first boot (ie fingerprint unlock non operational) very annoying...

True. I don't use any lockscreen - so I always forget about that. If requiring you to not do anything to turn your screen on is important to you - then why would you even have a lockscreen setup?

[NO ROOT] No navbar | Pie controls - Free your screen and prevent burn-ins

Don't you hate the navbar?
Isn't it way to big and destroys look of the beautiful big screen?
And what about burn-ins?
There's a simple solution.
Completely hide the navbar and use PIE instead.
And it even makes one hand usage easier. Especially for S8+.
You no longer have to try to reach the statusbar or the back or recents button - doesn't matter on which hand you hold the phone.

Info:
This is a no-root solution. This won't trip knox nor will you loose your phones guarantee.
Anyway, all these steps are described as is and everything you do is on your own risk.
Don't blame me if anything goes wrong. But there isn't anything risky at all, so you should be safe.
Step-by-step guide:
Go to PlayStore and download Shortcutter Quick Settings and Pie Control
Go into Android settings and select developer settings at the very bottom (if you don't have it, do the steps described here)
Activate USB-Debugging
Make sure ADB and the needed drivers are installed on your computer. If not, do the 15 seconds installation described here.
Connect your phone to your computer and approve/allow all dialogs coming up on your phone.
Open CMD on your computer and write in the following 'adb shell pm grant com.leedroid.shortcutter android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS' (without asterics)
Wait few seconds. Then you can disconnect your phone again from your computer.
Open the app "Pie Control" you installed before on your phone and select 'Side'.
Activate the option 'ENABLE SIDE AREA' on the top using the slider
Click on the 'Level 1' tab and remove all entries there using the recycle bin icon.
Click on the first entry on Button 1, 2 and 3 and add the navigation buttons ('Tools' > 'Home' / 'Back' / 'Recent apps')
You should now be able to slide from both edges of the screen and the PIE controls with the three important buttons ('Home' / 'Back' / 'Recent apps') should come up
(You might want to change the settings on the 'Level 2' tab as well. I set them to 'Volume control', 'Camera', and 'Notification', which brings up the notification bar)
Next we need to get rid of the navigation bar.
Open the app "Shortcutter Quick Settings" you installed before on your phone and activate the very first option 'Security settings'.
Swipe right and activate "Immersive" (you might deactivate all the others if you don't need them).
Swipe down the status/notification bar with two fingers so that the quick setting tiles come up.
Tap on the three dots on the top right and select the first option.
Drag&drop the 'Immersive' tile from the bottom to the top setting tiles.
Tap on Done on the top right.
Now click on the 'Immersive' tile and then select the last option 'NO NAV'.
We're done!
Here some pictures how some apps look like after these steps and how PIE looks like.
Enjoy!

You do know that the soft keys move to prevent burn in right?
Big fan of pie control though can't live without it!

Is there still the bug, that keyboard won't show up when navbar is in immersive mode?

No need to scaremonger about burn in (which won't happen by the way), this thread can stand on it's own two feet as pie controls are pretty cool.

People are already complaining about navbar burn ins on reddit, xda, ... and there are also pictures showing the burn-ins.
So there's a reason to worry about it, sadly.
But as @Jonathan-H wrote, Pie on such a big screen looks awesome.
@Bautinho88 yes, the bug happens only when the notification bar is hidden. When hiding only the navbar this doesn't happen.

I think it is funny how a small change can make peeps freak out. Ever consider the top status bar and the static info up there? No burn-in.... It is dynamically the same as the nav bar... It will be ok peeps. Pie control is sweet though!

I made it with shortcutter Quick Settings. Works like a charm. I don't need pie control

Cannot remove screen pin lock on android head unit

I logged into my android head unit using my google account (gsuite) and was forced to setup a screen pin lock.
Now every time I start the car it boots into the Lock Screen and there is no way to remove it, I removed the account and it still shows there.
Even when I disable google smart lock and find my device it gets automatically enabled after reboot.
Anyone know how I can get the screen lock menu again it doesn’t show in settings/security but it disappeared.
I hope someone can help
Attached is the version number of my unit

Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm having the exact same issue.

Yes i removed it in the end
from the play store download shortcut maker, you can create a shortcut for anything on your android device or search all the plugins and modules.
Search for pin or passcode or screen lock and it will show you all the apps that have that word in the menu including System settings.
Create the shortcut, and keep trying until you find it.
Once you find the right menu run it and you will get that menu again and disable it.
the shortcut maker application will let you find hidden menus that you can’t access on your screen
if you are still stuck I’ll send you a photo of the shortcut I created

Thanks for the reply. I ended up getting it fixed using a similar method.
I used Nova Launcher to create an Android activity shortcut/widget on the desktop.
It took a lot of scrolling and trial and error, but in the end the activity that got it done was called .password.ScreenLockSuggestionActivity.
Thanks!

Android M 6.x Marshmallow: How to factory reset - Android Tablet - Lenovo - Lenovo Support SI

try this one.it helped me because i could not get rid of PIN at the start-up.the same thing as you

I just figured out how to fix this, and deleting Credentials and disabling through the regular settings menu does not work. I downloaded an app from the Play Store called Android Settings X. There you can reach the hidden settings. Choose "Choose screen lock (SetupChooseLockGeneric)" to remove the Screen Lock. Bam, fixed!

If that option doesn't work there is another one, 2 options down, called "Settings (ScreenLockSuggestion)". This is the only way I know of that actually removes the Lock Screen and will not revert back.

My issue with screensaver is when I first start the unit the first time I use a SWC it turns the screensaver on! Only does it once and then it is fine and SWC function as intended until next time the unit is restarted. I dont think it is an issue on android end as I have the screensaver turned off in there and when turned on it looks different, I think it has something to do whatever settings there is in the headunit as it has an option for screen saver to be: screen off or customize (which is a clock but no options to customize...)
I cant find any information on how to fix this issue anywhere and it seams I may have bought a strange android stereo (B200?) as I find all information I find is irrelevent and looks different to how mine is.
