It has been asked before but this is the fix.
Go to Settings > General > Accessory > Uncheck the box where it says Day Note.
Hope this helps.

No problem
If you have security set to "swipe" Day Note is the fastest way to get to a functional home screen. It displays instantaneously where some people complain of lock screen lag. You'll still have to either swipe the lock screen if Day Note's disabled or press cancel if it's active so no steps are saved. That is unless you use a lock screen more secure than swipe.

Yes there are some lock screen settings there but in terms of changing what apps appear on the lockscreen and other type settings it appears that AT&T in their infinite wisdom has decided that's too many options to worry about. Don't want to confuse us users or anything.

Wow...so the reveiws I saw about adding/removing widgets to the lock screen is a moot point for us AT&T folks now...awesome.
How about modifying the apps that are available on the lock screen?
Maybe I'm blind or maybe someone smarter than me can figure it out but I think the only answer is we need root and maybe even need a custom rom to fix (I like to think of it as unbreak).

Is this on an AT&T branded S3? Cause I don't have any menu option "Shortcuts" on mine.
OK nevermind, I figured out why I can't see it. I had Swipe lock with secure lock checked off since I have secure lock turn on automatically every time I hit the power button. Didn't think there was any point in having to swipe twice, once on the dandelion and once on secure lock, but I do see occasionally see the lock screen when it times out without hitting power. Once I enabled swipe lock with secure lock Lock Screen Options went from a greyed out option (which I thought was a header) to a clickable one.

It would be really cool if the camera shortcut would bypass the pattern unlock too. Either way, it is cool as soon as it unlocks the camera appears.
Has anyone tried the text shortcut where you bring the phone to your face and it calls them?

You can change the apps on the lock screen. Settings> security> lock screen options>shortcuts then follow the directions on the screen. I don't think you can have more than four apps on the lock screen, though.

It works from contact view, but it doesn't seem to work from Google Voice text, or messaging text. I'll keep messing with the settings to see if I can get it to work as in the european unboxing event.
Hello,
My S4s (i9500) screen keeps coming on when it reaches full charge, with a notification to unplug my charger. This wakes me up in the middle of the night, I'd like the phone to remain face up during the night...is there any way to stop this from happening?
turn your phone face down?

1.Head into the Settings menu. Samsung's done things a little differently and changed the way the settings menu looks, so you'll need to hit the "More" tab, and then get into the Software information.
2.Look for "About device" at the bottom. Tap it.
3.Hop on down to the build number, and tap it seven times. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. You'll get a little prompt saying you're about to unlock the developer settings. Hit that button one final time -- seven! -- and they're unlocked.
Now you've got developer settings on the Galaxy S4.

Hmm this is a pretty good workaround, the screen still comes on but turns off on it's own and pretty quick. Thank you.
Guess I'll have to wait for a mod for the screen not to come on at all or to disable the beyond useless notification altogether.
If you have root, grab es file manager or root explorer or something and go to system/media/ui/ and delete whatever sounds you want deleted. Make sure to back them up if you want them back.

I tried nova launcher with tap to sleep app, but every time reopen the phone it will require me to enter the password again.
I think this is a new marshmallow feature. If a third party app locks phone, it requires password. What happens if you manually lock or let time out.

Screen Lock Pro by Prahallad has a setting to bypass security. There is a free app by the same Dev but I haven't tried it.
Once installed you can link Nova's double tap setting to it.
Try screen off and lock app

It's the only app I've found that doesn't cause the pin lock screen to show the next time you unlock.

Hi
Thanks for the pointer, I tried the free version of the app, and setup my Nova's double-tap gesture to use Screen Lock shortcut, I am able to lock the screen but unable to wakeup w/ a fingerprint. Is there something special you had to do?
Thanks in advance

Does this app really lock the phone or it just shutdown the screen until the phone unlock itself on its own?

It just turn the screen black until it lock itself. Takes about 3-4s. I know the developer wrote there 10s but it only takes 3-4s on s7e. You know it when the AOD comes on etc etc...
As of now, from what I can tell there is no way to use an app or double tap to lock the screen without requiring a pin for a non rooted phone. Apps that turn off the screen but don't lock the phone isn't really an answer.

It is an answer though. You just have to tweak the settings in the security section so the phone locks immediately. There is still a 2 sec delay but to get to lock the screen with a double tap again and get to unlock with touch ID it's fine. It costs a little over $3 though.... which isn't much but is on the steep side for such a single purpose app. There is a marshmallows touch ID workaround setting in it as explained which merely turns the display blank (although for me the edge thing is still visible) then after a really short delay the screen actually turns off and AOD turns on. With the system settings set right it actually locks securely the moment AOD turns on. Max 2 sec delay. No one's gonna get a chance to get in your phone that quick.:good:
So, I did come across this same issue, and it seemed to have started for me when I applied the May Security Update. It happened on my Note 5 and my S7 Edge. But when I applied the July security patch to my Note 5, double tap to lock WITHOUT a pin next login actually worked again, not so on my S7 Edge, after applying. Havent had enough time to research and dig, but doesn't make sense working on 1 and not the other when both are 6.01, both on July security patch, both Verizon models, and both use Nova Prime. Has had me stumped since May....
Sorry. Original post placed in forum for wong device.
Can anyone else confirm that while the phone is locked, you can double-click the home button to launch the camera, wait a few seconds, hit the back button, and the homescreen will appear without a fingerprint scan or pattern unlock?
Not on mine, I go back to the lock screen.

If you double tap the home button it tries to read your fingerprint while you are doing it.
If you give it the split second to read it, when you back out of the camera your phone is unlocked.
Try the same thing with a finger you have not registered a fingerprint of and you should always go to the lockscreen.
If that is not the issue, check your secure lock timeout settings.
Settings > Quick Settings > Lock screen and security > Secure lock settings > Secured lock time > check that it is set on "Instantly with the power key or when the screen times out"
For some reason Samsung has it set to default lock only after 10 minutes of inactivity.

I think it's more likely what the other poster said about my fingerprint being read.
I know guys, there are a ton. But so far I found only two kinds:
- Some completely block your phone, not allowing you to unlock with face or fingerprint.
- Some -idk why- turn off the screen and randomly turn it on inmediatly after. This doesn't happen evertime, but it's a problem cos if you have smartlock activated then the screen is on and phone in unlocked...
I just want a way to imitate the power button single tap function. I don't like pressing physical buttons, I use a gesture to turn the screen off before putting it inside my pocket. And yesterday I pocket-dialed two people...
Nova has a double tap to sleep function, and greenify used to have a short-cut to the same thing.

Either Gravity Screen or KinScreen. I have premium for both but have been using KinScreen for the past few years as it was stable than Gravity Screen, but I haven't used Gravity Screen's latest version either.

So i initially tried using Nova double tap gesture. It would turn the screen off but a second later it would go to the lock screen. Now i use Good Lock by Samsung and i actually like it a lot. In Good Lock go to the the "Family" tab - (no idea why it's called this) and then select One Hand Operation +.... I created a Small Right handle that turns the screen off when i slide it. Works great and i have yet to activate it by accident.

What region are you in? Weird, because it's an official Samsung App... let me know if you can't find it and i can post the apk for you... Also, make sure it's the 1.0.00.46 version, as they just updated it to work with Pie.
I also am desperate for this feature. Tried all of the apps and all of them go to the lock screen for some reason. I contacted a couple of developers but idk if they can do anything. Tried the one hand gestures and it does work but the thing is I still prefer double tap to lock instead of those swipe gestures. I think this feature should be natively supported like on almost every other android phone.

I use Nova for that: ||>>>Gestures & Inputs>Home button>Screen lock(uncheck "only on main home...")
then go to 'Gestures' below, click "Swipe up" and also check "Screen lock" Now, I use 'Full screen gestures" for nav bar already, so that Nova gesture setup is not messing up the nav bar gestures but rather compliments it. Example: I have some app open on the screen and swiping it up(w/o Nova) in the center would bring me to the Home screen(and that is being mimic w/Nova too) then the second 'swipe up' locks the screen. Simple, quick double 'swipe up' from any app does the trick, if you are on the home screen already then you just swipe it up only once.
I also use full screen gestures. The problem is not the gesture. The problem is that I need an app to turn off the screen. There are like a hundred apps that do that. But they all have one of the two problems I said before.
I'll look for the good lock in a bit. I have to find the apk.
"there was a network or server error. Try again later. The mapper function returned a null value"
I'm getting this error when I open good lock. Apparently it's not supposed to be use in Argentina. I'll try Nova launcher now.
