mine will turn up later today but from the review I saw yesterday (video) the lockscreen did have a couple of widgets on it. There was a camera button bottom right and this particular review had the samsung tv app at the top of the lockscreen allowing him to adjust volume up and down and change channel.
Personally I don't have anything on my current S3 lockscreen other than the date and time but that's just me

All reviews I saw had a camera on the lock screen. Wtf!!! So angry

That sucks you can't even get the camera. I think I'd just turn off the lock screen at that point. You could also look into an app that puts shortcuts into the notification dropdown--I did this for a flashlight app because I missed having it in my quick settings on my last custom rom.

Indeed. I can't understand why they would take them away. Even my GS3 had this.

I have the same issue and spoke to samsung live chat and they said "Unfortunately the Australian models of the S5 do not have the feature where you can add a camera shortcut to the Lock Screen."
This sucks, ive tried using 3rd party apps and the shortcuts still wont work!
Im with vodafone AU

It's probably due to the CSC in Australia, this was an issues with other 4.x firmwares as well.
If someone is knox 0x1 already, maybe try flashing a different CSC from another region (maybe even a 4.3 to try it out)

Wave over Lock screen

Any way to set the Touchwiz Wave over info screen as a Lock screen widget?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
So that you can always view the Quick Glance information? From what I know, the Samsung framework has no way to do that. It would be rather cool to entirely replace the background to the Quick Glance screen.
The Play Store may have some widgets that can give you something comparable that can also be added to the lock screen.

Will see if I can crack it open to be able to replace the background.

It looks like the background for the quick glance screen is one of the stock live wallpapers...I wonder what effect freezing them in TiBu would have?

Screen responsiveness

Does anyone is experiencing some screen responsiveness in I9505 with default ROM, unrooted?
Sometimes I need to touch the screen for 2, even 3 times to access what I touched.
Also, the phone is a little laggy than I thought.
Thanks in advance!

^Hi, I used to have a nice screen responsiveness even with the Stock ROM unrooted. Are you with any screen protector BTW? Maybe that's the problem .
I m stock unrooted with screen protector and my screen responsiveness is extremelly good ... some times i get the feeling that i select things without even touching the screen ... check if this happens in certain apps or maybe u have a bad screen protector
Thank you! No I'm not using any screen protector.

No screen protect or here.. by the way when I touch the botom touch buttons once, sometimes it acts like was pressed twice! :what:

I do notice that if i grip my phone in a particular manner where part of my palm is on screen, it becomes unresponsive. Is that happening to you?

Try disabling all TW features in Settings, and also it can be LTE that's overheating your device and giving you a worse responsiveness.
No! I'm taking care about not touch the screen in diferent points at the same time.. maybe it could be bacause I'm using Beautiful Widgets Live Weather...

I tried and with LTE disabled it got snappy! Thanks!

Just updating... turned on everything again: smart, gesture and so. Also screen animation but turned off the animated grass on my beautiful live weather and the automatic language detection for the keyboard: the device and the screen response is amazing!

Lock screen notifications

Anyone know of a few good ones out there? I've tried a few but they didn't seem to work. I'm tired of the ugly message box when I get a text etc.

That's one of the ones I tried but it was weird. It would notify me of missed calls but I would still get the stock SMS notification (yellow box) also, the missed calls would only clear from my lock screen if I pulled down my notification bar. I'll give it another shot.

I just tried this one. I added email, missed calls and SMS but I'm still getting the stock text message notification. It is showing me email though.

I was able to get the dash clock one to work but how do I make it my default lock screen? Every time I lock my phone it goes back to the stock lock screen. When I long press the lock screen I can cycle between the 2 lock screens but I can't "trash" the stock one like I can the dash clock one. I also can't change the order of them. I though maybe if I placed the dash clock in front of the stock it would set as default...no dice.

Move the dash clock one all the way to the right.

You can try Knock2+ It's very similar to Active Display.

what rom are you on? if there is an option in the lockscreen settings to use aosp or touchwiz lockscreen choose touchwiz and on your lockscreen touch and hold the clock you want to remove and remove it. click the plus sign symbol and add dashclock. go into your messaging app, go into settings and uncheck the option to "preview message". that should fix your problem
I used lockerpro lock screen it works really good. Also used dynamic notifications its simple and just like the moto x active notifications. I don't use anything anymore just stock light notification.

Weird issues

Hello everyone. Had my Note 3 for about a week now and I love it. A couple of things I've noticed and wonder if anyone else has this. I like to disable the animations in Developer Options so the phone feels more fluid. But for some reason the transition animations wont stay off. They always go back to 1. Second question. Just recently my 4Glte icon doesn't hide like it used to. It now sits next to my wifi icon for no real reason. Anyone else?
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
Was also confirmed by a lot of peeps here in xda including me of the transition animation bug

Ok that's good that it's not just me. So what about my 4Glte icon always being visible all of a sudden? Just some random bug?

Why dont you post the full message.
I have a clue of what it might be, but I cant be ceirtan..
It's a shield in my notification bar and a message pops up saying just stopped an app from accessing your information with an option to view apps but it takes you to all your apps and doesn't identify which app..

Go to setting,general,about device, check for the latest software update. Mine are solved after installing the latest MJ7 firmware.

Is that not knox doing its 'thang'?
Yep, that's Knox.
It's either Knox or if you're on T-Mobile it's Lookout. Is the shield a gold color or is it green?
