Problem with widgets and the lockscreen - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

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.

How To Remove Lock Screen Widgets (Clock)

Hey guys I've got another question. Does anybody know how to remove the clock from the lock screen?
I've gone through Setting>My Device>Lock Screen and have everything turned off.
I've even downloaded an app called "Lockscreen Policy" which has an option to disable Widget and/or Camera, I've switched both of them off as well. I don't remember the app saying anything about needing root to work.
Really annoying that the stupid clock is covering my Lock Screen Wallpaper especially when the Notification Bar is on the Lockscreen and that has a clock on it anyway.
Thanks in advance.

If you swipe down from the clock it will expand the widget. You can then long press it and drag it to the trash can that appears at the top of the screen.
Be aware, though, that if you do not have any widget there you will just see a screen with a big "+" sign asking you to add a new widget and once the phone locks the clock widget will reappear. The only way to get it to go away permanently is to replace it with a different widget.
Hope this helps.

You should disable the stock lockscreen all together and give WidgetLocker a try. It works really well on my wife's Note 2, and it's super customizable.

I try this and is says "unable to edit in security mode". I understand I may need to "unlock" the phone w/ the security code - but how do I get back to remove the lock screen clock if I do that? I am trying to get Dashclock Widget going, but this is blocking me.
Any thoughts?

Do you have a pattern or PIN lock set? I don't think the widgets work with those.

You are correct. PIN/Pattern doesn't work with other widgets. Thanks man.
Solved it
Hi, folks -- registered just to report that I have solved this problem. Download Minimalistic Text (free), though I'm sure you already have it. Enable Multiple Widgets on the phone, then add a blank Minimalistic Text widget. Delete your clock as described above and enjoy.

This has probably already been mentioned by now but for those still strugglimg with this. Drag down the screen from were the message and clock is. Click the pen looking icon to edit delete txt and uncheck clock if that is not required. Then press save in the top right and your lock screen will be clear :good:

Drag down the life companion message and click edit. Delete text and uncheck clock if also not required then press save. No app or root required just needs to be edited from the lock screen. May need to disable your lock security while you edit. Hope this helps
hide lock screen clock Android 4.3
Hey guys,
I recently got a Note 3 discovered that you cannot remove the lock screen clock. Simply doesn't allow you the option to.
But I found a way to hide it using the "personal message" feature.
Turn personal message on in the lock screen options menu.
Simply uncheck the clock and date boxes and space across a single character (as it won't allow you to have no text but will allow you a space which is invisible anyways..) and then hit save.
So then the next time you go to wake up your phone the lock screen clock will be gone!
I really don't like the way you are literally forced to have a lock screen clock!?!?
I often change my lock screen and desktop wallpapers and don't like the screen to be cluttered with text I don't want to see..
I have only tested this method on my Galaxy Note 3 so I am unsure if this will work on other Android phones..
Also what I have found strangely enough is normally there would be a half to one second lag for the display to sleep when I lock the phone.
This lag seems to have all but gone now that I specified a personal message (even though its blank) and hid the clock & date. Bonus!!
Hope this helps. Apologies if this has been previously covered..
Have fun!

Thanks so much for this now if I can just find away for it not to show that you have a text message on the lock screen things will be great.
FIxed.
Hay guys.
Sorry for the late reply. But I found a way to remove everything on lockscreen...
Date, time and also the unlock icon and rings.
But for now to remove clock simply allow lockscreen widgets then download zooper widget and replace your stock clock widget with an blank zooper widget.
Hope i helped.

Dashclock and Note3

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?
(Sprint version)
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.

[Q] How to disable Touchwiz calendar reminder on lock screen

I think I have gone through every menu option in settings for my S4 i9505 but I can't for the life of me figure out how to disable the calendar appointment reminder that appear on the lock screen. I believe it is Samsung S Planner application that is doing it but I can't find any options for it under the general settings for Security, Display, Lock Screen or in the settings for S Planner. I'm not sure where else to look. I'd like to carry on using S Planner as the application interface isn't too bad but I really want to disable to calendar reminder on the lock screen. Any ideas?
Thanks

I tried this and found two apps one called S Planner and another called S Planner Widget. S Planner had the Show Notification check box disabled (i.e. could not toggle the settings) and the Disable button was inactive (could not click this). However, the S Planner Widget could be changed so I disabled the Show Notification and also Disabled it. I believe it is the S Planner Widget that was the offender so hopefully this will have fixed it. I'll know for sure after a few appointments have come and gone and nothing get's splatted across my lock screen. Thanks for the help.

As it turns out, this did not fix the issue. The S Planner application has an option in the application for "Set alerts and notifications". The options are:
1. Alert
2. Status bar notification
3. Off
I've now set this to Off which has stopped the lock screen view coming up. The notification bar notifications are still coming up (presumably this is coming from the main Calendar application). The notification bar notifications is something I still wanted to retain but unfortunately clicking on this notification just takes me to the normal Calendar app rather than S Planner.
Doesn't seem a way around it as far as I can see.

I have used the 1st option (1. Alert) and it seems to be that the reminders appear on the notification bar, and in the first occasion of the reminder as a dismiss or snooze screen but NOT on the lock screen. Give that a try.

Cannot modify lock screren

I can't find any controls to modify the lock screen. I can remove the default clock, but I can't add anything. And when I go back to the lock screen the clock is back. I can't find anything having to do with lock screen in the Settings either (like adding widgets, etc.) I also can't expand the lock screen widget. Is this functionality just not there? Or am I just looking in the wrong place?

I'm posting this here because there is not official development thread for this ROM on my device. There are nightly builds so someone is maintaining it, but I don't have any place except here to post questions. I hope someone from OMNI monitors this forum.
Settings -> security -> lockscreen
When you're in the lockscreen try swiping the clock to the right, a + should appear. Tap the + and you should have the option of adding a widget. If the lockscreen is PIN protected you'll have to enter it first, then you'll see which widgets you can add. I think this is pretty standard.

Go to Settings -> Security -> check "enable widgets". Then go to lockscreen, swipe to the right and your "+" sign should appear.
Is anyone else having an issue setting the lockscreen wallpaper? I am getting FCs when I select a wallpaper via Security --> Lockscreen --> Wallpaper
No, you're not alone. Happens yo me also. The wallpaper cropper chashes for some reason.... :S
Did you know that @Entropy512 @XpLoDWilD??

Lock screen notifications

Hi,
i'm new with emui, i would show whatsapp notifications on my lock screen, and if possible, wake up screen automatically when notification coming.
But i cannot get working any of the functions.
I enabled lock screen notification in whatsapp app, but it doesn't working. I only get sound and led, but on lock screen there is nothing. It is the correct behaviour?
p.s. I have B105 europe version.
Thanks
Ok, i changed theme and now lockscreen notifications are working. Now found option to wake up screen.
One more question: is it possible to use only ONE image in lockscreen? and how i could choose it?
Thanks
go to gallery, select a image, set as wallpaper, only lockscreen
Thanks for answer.
But i have no option to set an image as wallpaper for lockscreen. Maybe because magazine lockscreen is enabled?
On lockscreen, swipe from bottom up to reveal the lockscreen shortcuts and click on Covers.
Then remove all unwanted wallpapers (or add your own). If you only want a single wallpaper, simply add only one.

Is it possible to define how many text rows will show on each notification in lock screen (by default, only one row is shown which is not enough sometimes) ?
is there an option to show up the clock when i touch the screen
