S5 Camera lockscreen shortcut warning... - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Please beware that using the camera shortcut on the lockscreen allows you only to use a subset of the camera features and also turns off location tagging even if you have enabled it. I found this out the hard ware after turning it on in the main camera app then using the lockscreen shortcut to take a load of photos around London over easter - None of them had the location tags in the images! You will also notice that you can't use many other features such as selctive focus & HDR mode via the shortcut as they are greyed out....
I have now removed the camera shortcut from the lockscreen..
I'm sure Samsung had there reasons for doing this but it is a real PITA. Let's hope they fix it in the future...

It depends on your security settings.

I was just thinking it could be security setting locking out functions. But after testing it with a pattern setting I get all the the camera functions.

Security reason. Take a look on the gallery shortcut when you enter the camera without fingerprint scan or unlock pattern. You don't have acces to the gallery, you will see only photos made by you. We can't make selective focus because it needs some further edition, propably.

Ahh, makes sense now, thanks guys.

There's nothing in settings to enable that. I've been looking into that as well because using a camera shortcut slows down the lockscreen.

Help with setting lock screen wallpaper

Hi I've just flashed foxhound rom 0.8 on to my s4 but when I go to change my lock screen wallpaper, the option to choose from gallery is not there. only from the default wallpapers. for home screen the options come out but not for lock screen. Any idea why? I can't Post on the developers thread yet. so if anyone has a solution or could help me post there it would be much appreciated. a couple of guys asked about it before but no one gave a solution.
Thanks.

What launcher are you using? How about navigating to your preferred image in Gallery, then trying to set it as wallpaper from there?
Im using Nova Launcher. Ive tried that too. I can only set as Wallpaper, not Lock screen Wallpaper. I cant ask the foxhound developers as i cant post there yet since i just signed up.
Hmm noticed the same thing here. Previous on TW, able to set lock screen wallpaper from gallery or from settings. Now on Google Edition, doesn't seem to have this option

Note that doing the next few steps will reset your default app preferences, disabled apps etc.
In Settings, Application Manager, hit menu then Reset App Preferences.. read the warning!
This would help IF whatever's causing your problem is actually a 3rd party app that "clashes" (in a way) with the stock Gallery app
edit: also.. if that doesn't help, maybe try changing wallpapers from within touchwiz launcher, THEN relaunch nova
Tried to do what you said adrian, but still no go. When i click on display, wallpaper, lock screen, still only shows me one option there 'wallpapers' . No gallery or option for any 3rd party picture viewer. Could someone maybe help me post on the foxhound 0.8 for i9505 thread?
Thanks alot.
download QuickPic, pretty certain you can set lockscreen wallpaper using that

Correct. Been using that app for two years now. It's way smoother and quicker than the stock Gallery app and has some very useful features as well (excluding unwanted folders etc.) :good:

Yes, Q Slide would be nice if you could put a flashlight in there, or something like that even though a whole other row of crap isn't needed. The main mod I would like is flashlight from the lock screen. Had it built into BAMF for my Nexus... so convenient.

Can't you do this already? Download an app like Flashlight - which gives you the ability to have a widget for a simple flashlight. Press once to turn on, again to turn off. Then, swipe left from the lock screen until you get the + Tap to add Widget, and add this flashlight widget.

No. It only shows LG apps.
After my debloating on 4 apps show as available making it totally useless.

Are you talking about Qslide or the lock screen? I was answering the person asking about flashlight from the lock screen, which I was able to do using the procedure I said above.

Waiting for your progress, bro
Well, I think you should resize the apps, that you want to have in QSlide, also.
Has anyone been able to do this? I'd like to replace the Email button with Aquamail. And a few others.
Trying
I have been trying to get more support for extra qslide apps so far i haven't been able to get what i need, but i will continue to try. it may have to be put into an xpoosed module is what i'm thinking

How to get pinch to show hidden apps back. A solution.

I loved how on my Mate 8 (on my homescreen) I could execute an outward pinch gesture to show the hidden applications screen. Here I could hide private apps or other apps to clean the amount of apps on the home screens. However they removed this feature from the Mate 9. Have no idea why.
Anyhow there is an app on the Play Store which will allow you to enable it again. It's called EMUI Tweaker:

Brilliant!

Thank you. On my phone (P Smart 2019) the first solution doesn't work, but the second one works well. The best thing about the second solution is that you can edit much more than the ones mentioned.

Fullscreen apps not working

I have a problem with the apps not going fullscreen when I enable that option in settings. The only way too have the apps in fullscreen is by enabling gestures. I'm using nova launcher but it's the same thing with Samsung launcher.

You need to go into settings /display / full screen apps and enable each one you want.
You need to take it off auto.
Already said that I've tried that and it doesn't work.

You said you enabled it in settings, that is vague as you can enable it in settings yet you still have to take it off of auto on each individual application.
It's working fine for you? I think I need to do a reset.
Sent from my LG-H930 using Tapatalk
I did reset but still not working. Also edge lighting doesn't work. Maybe the phone is faulty? What can I do?
Went to a shop that was displaying the S10+ and tried to see if it's working but it's the same.
