Hi, I am trying to use dash clock on my S4. I can't use custom widgets because I activated the pass lock but I cannot disable it (probably because of knox).
Am I doing something wrong?

Are you using a corporate email account? Is rooting your phone an option?
No, I just configured my Gmail account. I remember that last week I was able to choose swipe unlock but today I cannot do it anymore. I don't remember I changed security related settings but I cannot exclude I did it.
I'd prefer a solution that does not involve rooting.

I read that the issue may be related to encryption. I recently added a SD card from Samsung but I didn't encrypt it neither the phone.

Another thing I did was the configuration of my university wifi network which required me to install a certificate. I think it is more likely to be the culprit.
Now I just need to figure out how I can disable/remove it and see what happens.

You can clear the credentials if you want (Settings > Security > Clear Credentials), but I'm afraid a better solution isn't available without rooting.
EDIT: Also, you can edit your posts instead of posting multiple times.
Removing the certificates I managed to enable dash clock.
I am still not too satisfied from having to choose between the pattern lock and dash clock.
On my nexus 7 I'm sure I'll use dash clock, but on my phone (where dash clock is more useful) I'd like to have more security.

If you're rooted, I have an Xposed module that enables lock screen widgets when the device is secured (link in signature)

5. Just press the home button to exit the browser. In a well behaved app it will just sit in memory not using any CPU or any battery. android will silently kill the browser app if it needs the ram for another app.
Unfortunately this only works if the app is well behaved. The XDA forum app for example is a bad app. As it breaks the Android guide lines because after you press the home button the app still servers adverts in the background eating up CPU.
A good Android app is meant to COMPLETELY shut down when the app is not visible (by pressing for example the home button). So it does not matter that it is sitting in ram as it is not using any CPU or battery.
Thanks louis
my 6th question also got sorted
So now just first four question remaining
Plz reply if u know the answers

1. The email address you entered should not effect the updates from Kies. However the carrier branding (eg T-Mobile) can prevent updates from comming through. What version are you on? My last update from Kies brought me upto build KF3.
The locked email is purely required for app purchases. If you get a replacement phone, using the same email address will restore all your download apps. However if you want to sell your phone then you need to wipe the phone so the buyer can't use your account.
Hey Shantanu, you Bengali or what?
1- If you meant Firmware update, then you just plug the device in with PC and run Kies, if there is an update available it will say.
3- It's a Diary with Location/Geo tagging feature.
6- Just press Home button to minimize from Stock browser, then Exit via Task Manager.
Regards.

If u talking about baseband version than its DDKE2. And android version is 2.3.3

I used only two Nokia's before, E90, N95, they were Symbian and supported the OTA update, but this ain't Symbian, nor Nokia.
Yup I knw. Its new operating system at least for me so its obvious that I won't be having knowledge of it

It is the build number I was asking for and who is your carrier? The carrier branding can stop the update coming through Kies (the carrier has to proved the updates and a lot of them don't bother.)
Can u tell where would I get that

Is their an apk that runs so I can use NFC tags without having to enter my password every time? I found one that worked with the Galaxy Nexus, but didn't say anything about the Nexus 4
AOKP has the option under Nfc to enable this. Other than that I can't find anything on it. Been searching for a couple days now.
Apk? You mean an app? I believe Tasker can do this (maybe a plugin like Secure Settings is needed to disable the lock screen)

no aokp is a custom firmware
Can anyone who has NFC active whilst locked give me some idea on what extra battery drain is evident (if at all).
Thanks

What app works for the Galaxy Nexus? I've been looking for such an app for a long time.
Is there a mod for NFC to work whilst screen is ON but password not entered?
All I've found is screen off mod - but that seems to get high battery drain.

Finally found a solution that I'm happy with. I used Exposed Installer with NFC Lockscreen Enabler Module and that did the trick. You can even configure it to only work when the screen is on with the password screen being displayed, saves on battery life a lot.

Thank you sir!
Hi everyone. First post on what I hope will be many.
I've had my S4 for a week now having come from iOS and one thing I can't find is how to customize the apps in the favourites tray. Ive tried long-holding icons in order to move them out of the tray to make room for the ones I want to put in there, but there's no response to the long-hold. It's as if the icon is permanently locked.
I've googled everything I can think of, and so far the only advice I can find is to do it the way I've been trying. I can't find anything that looks relevant in the settings either.
Do you know if this is a carrier thing or a region thing, as it's strange I can't find anyone online with the same issue.
Running on Vodafone Australia with a plan.
I'd really appreciate any help because I want to replace that Internet icon with Chrome!
Cheers
DrT
It's a restriction on Australian firmwares... you're options are, install another launcher (such as apex or nova), root your phone and change a system file or flash another regions firmware.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2
Thanks for that. Well that's two region-oddities I've found so far. The other one being unable to turn off or change the camera shutter sound. Bizarre. Thanks for your help. I might go down the system files line or try a new launcher.

The third oddity is being unable to turn on lockscreen shortcuts (menu item doesn't exist).
as well as auto rotation in gallery...

I like the phone, but the 16gb causes a lot of concern. After downloading my music from Amazon, it's almost gone.
I can't find an option to put music from Amazon on my sd card, is that hte new kit kat "feature"?
Also, the test message preview on my lock screen only says "New Message", ther eused to be an option that gave me a preview of the actual message..is it gone?
On the Note 3, it had a setting where screenshots would enter auto edit mode, came in real handy for me. S5 doesn't seem to have this?
When I disabled my magazine, my home screen transitions isn't continuous ..I know I seen the s5 do this in review videos.
Did you root your phone yet with Towelroot? If so go to play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix and install this to get read/write to your sd card. The other stuff I can't help you with. Sorry.

Not yet. I will this weekend tho. Thanks bud
Before you root you may want to look into fix for SHealth and ISIS Wallet (if you use it). You have to stop SHealth and Health Services in app manager and clear data and cache before you installed Xposed. You may even have to uninstall their updates if I remember as well.
Install xposed and it's service , then update Shealth and it should work fine. Once you get that done install ISIS Root Bypass 3.0 module for xposed and check it in modules and reboot and the Wallet will work fine after that.
These were two things that I use often and really had to get working to be happy with root.

Why put off until tomorrow, what you could do today, and prevent yourself from being screwed by VZW when they push 4.4.3 soon, and Root may not work with it?
In the text messaging app you'll see a setting to display the message on the lockscreen instead of new message.
Plug your phone into the computer and drag and drop the music to the SD or use root explorer to move it there.. You don't need root to do this.
No, the S5 cannot auto enter edit mode as far as I know, maybe clear defaults of gallery and set images to auto open in an editor?
As far as continuous transitions just use apex or Nova.

How did you "disable" My Magazine exactly? I was able to long press home screen, choose Home screen settings, and uncheck My Magazine. This allowed me to scroll continuously or not.

Oh gosh, well that is a problem then. I'll definitely keep my eyes open for a solution. You should let us know if you find one. I'm curious now.

You'll have to edit a file using Root Explorer then if you disable My Magazine you'll have endless home screen scrolling. I use Nova launcher which already has the option in settings. If you definitely have to have the stock launcher and you can't get infinite scrolling to work let me know I'll tell you which file to edit.

Is there a way to enable guest mode without a build prop edit? I had two users on my 6p for 2 clash of clans accounts and can't do it on my edge. Thanks
Set up knox? It's not the same as guest or a second account but it should work.

Don't have a knox eligible device infront of me so the steps might not be perfectly accurate but:
Settings
Security
Knox
Click the link for play store knox app
Enable in settings/security
Go through the setup.
Basically it sets up a second partition on the phone that acts as it's own phone.
Sent from my E6683 using Tapatalk
I can vouch that the Knox method works, at least on my T-Mobile s7 edge. And it's actually better than guest mode; you don't need to log out and log into another account; Knox created a second instance of coc as two distinct apps. Pretty nice for switching b/w coc villages. Especially for donating troops!
Knox isn't in my security section on my Verizon s7e
