Hey guys
As most of you probably know, as soon as you select for instance a pin for your lock screen the S4 disables the possibility for lock screen widgets. I'm currently getting around it with xposed and SamsungMultipleWidgets KitKat.
Just curious if there's any way around this limitation without xposed, or maybe even without root? I'm guessing that it's not possible, still.. I'm curious.

Some ROMs have this feature baked in. SlimKat for instance. I dont believe there is a way whilst using a stock rom without using xposed, at least i never found one, and I looked hard!

Yeah, I know.. I had it built in while running CM. Just had an urge to go back to stock for a while and was just wondering what features I wanted actually required root (and xposed).
If anyone else knows of a way, please let us know.
Hi gys, slightly different issue here, but would appreciate any help.
basically the PIN lock does not activate until 30 seconds or so after the phone boots up. So there is no securuty on initial boot up.
Its there if I do a reboot. But not there if I do a startup from fully off.
It used to work but at some point a few ROMs ago t stopped working.
I was told it was the kernel but I have tried 4 and all with the same result and have tried several roms.,
hi to all how any one that has the same setup will help me understand i will try and keep it short first im using samsung note 4 running 6.0.1 now
ok so here goes i use my gear 2 together with my note 4 as a trusted device you know like every time the gear 2 is close the device must stay unlocked but it does not stay unlocked and there is no Bluetooth disconnecting anything like this i look at that so battery is full the gear 2 and phone stayed together and there was no setting like disable and enabling of Bluetooth at any stage but i connect it now and its fine but after a wile (don't know the exact time here ) but say after 3 hours of no use i press the power button and it asks for my pin or fingerprint as if the gear 2 is not near but it is still on and there was nothing like it disconnecting it is as if the phone on its own make sure that it asks the finger print every now and again say like i leave it overnight the next morning first fingerprint then you can use the phone i hate this it kind of bugs me if the steal the phone and the range is to big the device will lock any way why lock when the gear 2 it near the phone any help please
honestly, i stopped reading after few seconds.
have you ever heard about punctuation? - you know, the thing that looks like dots and commas, makes reading much easier.

From the Google Smart Lock support page (https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/6093922):
"Note: When you don't use your phone for 4 hours, and after you reboot your phone, you'll need to manually unlock it with your PIN, pattern or password"
It's a security feature.
EDIT: ...and, wow, yes, that was some run-on sentence!
Is there a root app to disable it or not

Hi to all. How any one that has the same setup will help me understand. I will try and keep it short. First, i'm using samsung note 4 running 6.0.1 now.
Ok, so here goes:
I use my gear 2 together with my note 4 as a trusted device. You know like every time the gear 2 is close, the device must stay unlocked. But it does not stay unlocked and there is no Bluetooth disconnecting, anything like this. I looked at that. Battery is full, the gear 2 and phone stayed together and there was no setting like disable and enabling of Bluetooth at any stage.
I connect it now and its fine, but after a while (don't know the exact time here ), say after 3 hours of no use, i press the power button and it asks for my pin or fingerprint as if the gear 2 is not near. The gear 2 is still on and there was nothing like disconnecting. As if the phone on its own make sure that it asks the finger print every now and again.
For example, i leave it overnight the next morning first fingerprint then you can use the phone.I hate this. It kind of bugs me if they steal the phone and the range is to big, the device will lock any way. Why lock when he gear 2 it near the phone? Any help please.

Fixed that for you
I really had to break that down to make it readable for me. But as others said, it's an Android feature. Afaik there is no way of disabling that all together. There might be some xposed module i haven't heard of, but with my moto360 i couldn't get it to work the way you'd want. Sorry mate

As the programmers use to says: Its a feature, not a bug
Some people are just plain jerks, and I wish XDA would take these "grammar police" trolls a bit more seriously and penalize them.
Perhaps OP is using a translator, or is from another country, or is young. That should not matter to any of us and we should offer our help regardless of whether he/she includes proper punctuation or not. I'm sure the effort he/she put into typing it was much greater than that of the ridiculous responses some of you gave.
thanks Crossvxm i appreciate that you came up for me its just i love the new 6.0.1 but there are a few new thing that google does not say and i thought it was a bug like my Bluetooth failing

The Note 4 is problematic all around, but 6.0.1 is a problem for every device that has it. It is the reason I left my Nexus 6P, and my Nexus 6. I have a Xiaomi Mi Max, also on 6.0.1 and it has the same major flaws I experienced on all devices running 6.0.1. The problems I speak of are the WiFi and Data stop working briefly while browsing the web, or downloading something. However, I believe this is an issue related to the security patches related to Qualcomm devices on 6.0.1. It seems like an overall radio problem.

Any solutions? I want to know is it software or hardware problem?
edit: Specs
Marshmallow 6.0.1 G900HXXSACQAA/G900HOJP1CPL1/G900HXXU1CPCA
Smart Launcher Pro 3.16.06PX
Waouuuuuuu....
Never seen that before.
Backup, flash new firmware and reboot.
If problem still present, it's a material problem.
Good luck mate

Seems to be a standard problem. I have it too.
Internet forums are full of this problem.
Buy another phone than Samsung.

I've seeb it alot actually. I mean the wake up problem. But noone seems to fix it yet. If anyone did please tell me
Has anyone test this with older Android 5?
The "Weird" Screen in Low Brightness is AMOLED Burn-in due to intensive use, My S5 Have this problem too.
Try changing the HW overlay / Force GPU rendering in developer options, others have said that works for them, it seemed to for me also but only temporarily. I have had to stop using auto brightness.
Device not waking up is very irritating, even double tap the screen to wake has the same problem, doesn't seem to be the buttons themselves. If you have a custom rom or other way to set double pressing the power button to launch the camera it works as a workaround for me.
Thank you for all the answers guys.

edit2: It's same again. Tried Home2 Shortcut the get the camera trick. It also didn't work because i want my phone to be locked and it doesn't work on locked status
Any other suggestions guys?

Flashed Wanted ROM, it's still the same. It was better at start tho and somehow it freezes less in battery saving mode.

I wonder If someone knows any rom or any method for enabling Ok google detection when screen off
I had the feature in nexus 5x..and it is lot lot useful
Not at this time on OOS (any version). I've not heard of any custom ROM with that feature as your question has been discussed a number of times. I posted a clumsy work around when the OP5 is in a charger using two apps but I only do that because I use the phone as a Google Home and want to avoid screen burn-in.
Ah ok, understand
Well, about your workaround, dont you think it might be harmful for the phone to be pluged in all the time?
http://www.droidviews.com/force-ok-google-detection-screen-off/
I had also seen a Xposed module that had this option. I don't remember the name. Maybe you can try some combinations of google now search etc. in the xposed repository.
Great find. thanks, but like others in the comment section of the article this doesn't work with the OP5 with OOS. When the battery set command is activated it automatically turns the screen back on. So the normal lockscreen timeout goes into an endless loop of screen off then automatically back on, not something you could tolerate. There may be a way to work around by adding another command but so far I've not found a compatible command. Tasker's own Sys Lock isn't an option as it forces a pin/swipe unlock (no fingerprint) and definitely cuts off trusted voice.
Hmm ok, thanks both! So maybe it would work with custom roms then...but for now is not my plan. But thanks anyway
Ok thank you! I've not installed Xposed yet but I note it so I will check when I do

Technically it could be done since we can disable it when in battery saver mode or in total silent mode,i have mi 5 earlier and there is mod for that yet its miui tho.
Im just thinking how much battery life we could save if that vibrate turned off,imagine we unlock the fingerprint sensor all the time right? And its always vibrate everytime we tap it.so technically we could save more battery life without sacrificing some important features

There is sure a way, either via some exposed module or custom rom or kernel, which either is yet not available. And the battery life is excellent on this phone, doubt that disabling vibrating will save much battery.
Hello everyone,
we finally have a way to remove this awful vibration everytime we unlock our phone through the fingerprint!
Yesterday gravitybox was released for oreo (https://www.xda-developers.com/all-in-one-xposed-module-gravitybox-android-oreo/) and comes with an option to disable this vibration, works like a charm.
I advice you tu use xposed with magisk to be systemless, or just install xposed normaly.

Sorry, there is no way to do it. I actually came to search how to enable vibration. After Oreo update to 8.1.0 my phone stopped vibrating or giving any sort of feedback while unlocking through finger print.
And I laughed because you are searching for exactly opposite thing and both yours and mine query are impossible.

Xiaomi just make the vibration the lowest possible
I can still feel it but it is less than touching the home button vibration
You'll live with it ^^

Yes I know they have minimised it. I read it through official forums. But, what I'm saying isn't stupid. I'm not a novice when it comes to android, app development, rooting, adb, etc.
When I'm saying it is gone, it really is gone from my phone. Not even 1% vibration is there in the sensor. Updates do affect some phones differently. It happens due to various reasons and it happens! In real!

Okay so yeah I though you were not noticing the vibration as it have been reduced a lot.
Now I see you have feelings so
I could suggest something
you should be able to make vibration stronger
Not sure about stock kernel
The idea is to make the default vibration stronger to see if you notice it with fingerprint
If the fingerprint vibration is based on a percentage of the default one there's a chance you can feel it and so you probably have a different vibrator or a light one that need to be set a little more high than default
This can also make non sense if fingerprint vibration is a separate value and also you can just have a bug and the best solution is to factory reset or wait the next ota to see if it's fixed
Hope you'll be able to find a solution
The fingerprint sensor still vibrates but its very faint.

No vibrations will change fingerprint vibration settings until I'm rooted.
I can sense mere vibrations of FOSS keyboard settings too at minimum possible (1 point).

You can disable it in the Settings >> Accessibility >> Vibration and turn off "Touch Vibration".
