lock screen issues

anyone else have an issue unlocking their screen?
the actual visualization doesnt work i touch the screen, move the icon to unlock and the icon doesnt actually show up its invisible and then unlocks
hard to describe but its like the thing you move to unlock doesnt actually show up
this is a P6810 from HK

I think it suppose to do that. I have a Hong Kong version, I assume your expecting it to go like the ice cream sandwich version where the lock moves to the outside ring. From what I gathered its like a whole page swipe.

i am expecting the same behaviour as honeycomb on the xoom... when the icon moved you get a ripple effect animation until the icon touches the outer circle which when released unlocks the screen.
that does not happen. i'll take a video and upload later.

Yes, it should behave like the other Honeycomb lock screens. Have you tried changing the backgrounds for the lockscreen just to see if that resets it?

Yup. Tried diff pics, now using a black PNG file no luck

I always use the PIN lockscreen, but I tried the unsecured one. The lock icon does not move, you just touch in the middle of the circle and slide your finger to the outer circle to unlock. It's just a different implementation.

interesting, dont like it
hurry up ics!

[Q] Flare lockscreen effect replaced by ink

After fooling around with few different launchers and then removing them I noticed the lockscreen effect option only contains ink and wave options. Is there a way to get back the flare option or do I have to do a factory reset (that's what the Finnish Samsung support told me to do)? Don't think Note 3 should have the Ink option as stock.

I have wave and ripple that's it

Flare is only for live wallpapers.
When you select a static, you get 'unlock effect: watercolour , ripple, none.' On ripple, you can set an ink colour.

Thank you
Was wondering as i had used several static wallpapers and was able to use flare with them. Now when I changed between them from gallery flare wasn't there anymore. But seems that if you use Zedge for example to set a static wallpaper the flare effect is in use. That's why I didn't realize that was the reason. Thank you for clarifying.

4.4 Lock screen with live wallpaper

I got the 4.4 update via my S4, and now whenever i set a live wallpaper for both home and lock screen, the lock screen becomes the same it was on the s2 with the same lock sound and the lock icon thing when you swipe the screen (no light effect or sound). Is this a bug or is it the way it's supposed to be for kitkat?
It only happens when i set a live wallpaper for the lock screen, when i set a normal wallpaper the lock screen remains the way it should be with the light effect and sound.
Could i please get some help, some sort of answer please, i'd really appreciate it :crying:

I have I9500 n I get the light/ripple effect for lockscreen with sound. I guess they ll include it in stable updates. Try using the one of the default wallpapers and then the ripple/light effects. It might work. All the best.

Live Wallpaper and lockscreen light effect

Since updating to kitkat, it seems I cant have a live wallpaper on the lockscreen and the slide to unlock light effect or the ripple for that matter, the lockscreen changes to the circles with padlock in the middle when I put a live wallpaper on the lockscreen. The lockscreen effect option in settings is also greyed out. Is this just something I cant do now on kitkat or is there a way round it?
Cheers

Light/Ripple effects were always available only for static lockscreen wallpaper.
update: hmm.. just checked on 4.3 - light effect works on S4.
I remember on S3 ripple effect(on old 4.1) worked only on static wallpapers.
update2: only light effect works. ripple doesn't work with live wallpaper on 4.3. Even option to change effect is grayed out.

I've had the light effect with live wallpaper for nearly a year since I got my s4, only just updated it though been on 4.2 since I got it. Why did they disable it? worked perfectly on jelly bean.

It makes me wanna more to stay on 4.3. I still can't find the reason why i need 4.4. Even ART is not available in TW 4.4 ROMs.

Can someone tell me, how I can add a weather widget on my lock screen?

Found this polygon wallpaper. The colors look really nice on my gold edge.

There's a lot of apps you can download that changes the lookscreen and adds customizability
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cmcm.locker&hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.appplus.hilocker&hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.achep.acdisplay

do any of these work with fingerprint scanner? CM says it does, but i don't see the option in their menu -- just pattern or password.

Guys, can I hijack this thread to ask if your backlight is on when you use a pure black wallpaper as your lock screen wallpaper?
My blacks are pure black when I open my screensaver in the gallery (if i tap the screen to remove the UI, I can't see the screen at all in a dark room) and it's the same for most screens except for the lock screen. In the lock screen it almost appears gray or it appears like it's affected by backlight bleeding. Just wanted to find out if it's a software bug (since it's almost like the Night Clock bug) or if it's a defect with my phone. I also cleared my cache with no success.
Also, how do you take a screenshot of the lock screen?

Not sure if they work with the s6 edge, might have to wait for that support. I'll personally just wait for xposed to be updated so i can get fun stuff like wanam xposed, and just live with the current launcher, as i really like the fingerprint scanner.

You can change wallpaper by long pressing on an empty space in the homescreen. It goes into edit mode and you will see a wallpaper icon and label at the bottom left. Tap that and you are directed to another menu to select whether to apply your wallpaper to just your home or lockscreen or both. You can also go to settings>wallpaper to change wallpapers.
As for the weather, the design changes accordingly with the theme you choose.
Hope this helps.

Tap on your homescreen weather widget. Go to more>settings>show weather information. Profit.

Press home+powerkey simultaneously to get a screenshot anywhere in your phone.

Thanks so much for sharing guys. I wonder if there's a way to get rid of that white status bar I have in the lockscreen. It just looks so ugly. Hopefully an upcoming FW update from my carrier would fix it. :fingers-crossed:

Does someone know how to get the wallpaper the S6 gets when it's on update mod? Blue cyan w/bugdroid on the middle. I really love it

Simple look.

I don't understand why there is a shortcut to the camera on the lockscreen?
I thought you could open the camera frem everywhere with two cliks on the home button?

Why the need to change that? You only see that when there's an update. Do you get an update every hour?
