4.2 lock screen bug (music controls)

Is it just me? Or is anyone else having problems with music controls on the new lock screen in 4.2. when I resume a song from play music in the lock screen the the camera gets mixed in with the lock screen and the volume goes to maximum for a second then returns to normal. Its done it a few times now.

Mine just covers the unlock button sometimes, just a new software thing, it will be fixed

Yea that's sort of what mine dose plus the outburst of sound when I've got earphones in

I had this happen just a little bit ago at the gym. It almost seemed like it locked up. I was able to launch Google now and get to the main screen though. Hopefully they add an on/off button for the lock screen widgets, I won't ever use them so it would be nice to disable them.

Disable Lock Screen Camera and Widgets
Found an article by Droid Life about Lockscreen Policy, an app created by Chislon Chow.
Been using it for a couple days. It is free and seems to work perfectly fine. Did not even need root privilege. The effect is not "permanent" in that if you disable/freeze or uninstall it, the widgets come right back, and you'll have to reboot before they can be removed again.

Lockscreen

This is hard to explain but is there anyway to make my lock screen have the little lock in the bottom instead of the pattern .
You get the little lock when you pull down the clock down. Then when you press the lock the pattern appear to unlock the phone.
I put some picture to explained better

Only way I know is to set the security to swipe instead of pattern.

I done that before and it just does the same. It just has the giant swipe symbol not the small clock

So when you go into the settings/security/screen lock and set it to "slide" you still have a pattern on your unlock screen? Weird. Are you on stock or custom?

I get where you're getting at. No, there is no way to do what you're asking from the stock setup. You'll either have to write some code and mod it yourself or find an aftermarket lock screen app that does what you want.

Do you lock your S4?

I would like to use the icons on my phones lock screen but I don't like the idea of someone having access to my phones data if I were to lose it or have it stolen. How many of you lock your phone using the lock screen? Use something else? Or let it run unprotected?

I don't put a password lock or anything on mine, but I keep an extra battery on me so i never have to plug it in and leave it somewhere and I therefore always have it on me.

I have a pattern unlock.

Same here.
I had to sacrifice the lock screen widgets because I have to have a pin lock.

Light effect/lens flare unlock effect missing ???

Odd, did Samsung forget to add the lens flare unlock effect on the international octa core SM-N900. I don't get it when MKBHD reviewed the note 3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NSBB-kFDGQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player he has that effect and he reviewed it using the octa core variant. The one which i have. I don't get it, is it only available to the U.S ??
PS: I'm from India, so if anyone from India has that effect on the SM-N900. I guess I'll be missing out on the J.J abraham experience.

I also do not have it!

No available in my european SM-N9005 too.
One thing to add : ink on ripple effect only works using the stylus.

Enable live wallpaper on both lock screen and home screen. The Lights effect will be automatically enabled on your lock screen with live wallpaper on.

For enabling light effect on Note 3 running Kitkat 4.4.2, Please check out here
and here for ripple ink effect with fingers or without S-Pen....
Thanks.

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.
