several weeks ago a new lock screen appeared - out of nowhere - and now won't go away. I've tried to manually go into setting and change it - no luck. When I restart my s5, my original screen (which is still selected in settings) comes up, but is then taken over by this lock screen that won't go away. I'm running Themer - thought it was associated with that, but I've since cleared cache/data/deleted it, with no luck. This thing doesn't keep time, give any notifications, or swipe responsively. A real PIA. It also affects the notification bar - won't give me my notifications. Same with the lock screen - occasionally I will swipe my screen and see the original notification bar, but mostly this new one. Any thoughts? I'm really not keen on wiping the whole thing are starting from scratch.
A screenshot would be helpful, it sounds like part of another app you have installed.

I was wondering how to change the background screen when my TP2 is lock. I tried downloading different themes and background and it still doesn't change. I have a tmobile with stock rom and official 6.5 upgrade. Can anyone help.
thanks.
The background of your lock screen is the background of your Today screen. That is to say, the background set for Windows Mobile 6 and not the Touch Flo 3D background.
If you want to change your lock screen background, go to the Settings tab in TF3D, press the left soft key ("All Settings"), select the "Today" icon, and at the bottom of the first tab there will be a checkbox and a browse button to select your background picture.
S2U2
You also may want to consider S2U2. It offers much more control over locking phone and pictures Give it a search and check it out.

Thanks alot guys. I actually went to that window/tabs but wasn't sure what it would(I'm a newbie). Thanks again
I m having a really annoying problem. When I first got my phone (tilt2) I was trying out different lock screen backgrounds and somewhere along the way the incall lock screen buttons changed to these really horrible like round custom things. I didnt install anything so I dont have a CLUE how to get them back to the default buttons that I liked. Anyone have an idea?
Annoying feature to notifications so far is the forced choice of swiping left and dismissing from phone or swiping down to "keep" the card only to have it pop back up to the bottom of the screen 2 seconds later. Is there any way of avoiding the constant reappearance of cards I just swiped down? Example: I swipe weather down off my screen. A few seconds later is shows back up on the bottom of my screen and clutters my watch face. I just dismissed it, why would I want it right back?
I'm guessing this is just another area where Google is doing beta on us and will fix it down the road.
I've noticed that too... A kind of workaround is to stop the card-notifications from showing up on the clock. You'll have to swipe down to see them. Ofcourse, if something happends (a notification comes in) you'll still get vibrations etc.. The preview just wont show up on the bottom of the screen anymore.
It's in the android wear app.
Thanks. I want NEW notifications, but I don't need them to pop back up 2 seconds after I swiped down! Lol!
This has happened twice today. I am using the phone and the voice typing display will not go away. I can use the phone.. .i can go to the homescreen, open apps, look at settings, etc, but i cannot close the voice prompt, and i can't use it.
It essesentially makes the phone useless until i reboot.
I am not sure why it is doing this. Not rooted nor unlocked or anything.. just stock.
The other thing it is doing is that sometimes when i wave my hand over the screen i will see the unlock screen. it will have the time and a lock icon below it ... if i touch the lock icon, it moves to a lower (on the screen) position and when i re adjust to hit the lock again it moves back up. Not sure how to screen shot this... maybe a video from a different phone.
when this happens, it will unlock by pressing the power button. I think this has something to do with the smart lock. DAMN google for forcing you to have a lock when you use Android Pay. Never had this problem on my Note 4 with Wallet.
Anyway, any help on either of these bugs would be appreciated
ok, i can reproduce the bug.
can someone else try this to confirm?
- with the phone screen off have someone send you a text message.
- swipe up directly to messages. ( use the google one, but i am not sure if it matters.)
- reply to the message with a google voice typing
- hit the power button to turn off the screen.
- Have the person text you again.
- open message by swiping up to it.
At this point the tap to speak screen will be there and not go away until you reboot.
no one else?
here is a video showing the problem I can't believe I am the only one experiencing this

I can try it when I get my phone, but that's a few weeks away...
Hi, guys
Just bought the S10+ for 3 days. All good until today. It had 3 software updates and now after the second one I have the following issue -there is a white rectangle surrounding the text of the notification pannel when you swipe down to see it ( the one with wifi, mobile data , vibrate, bluetooth, portrait mode etc). I am not sure what it's called but I think you get it.
So basically I have the wifi icon for example but the text is not "wifi" in blue/white color and the black or white background but instead the text is surrounded by a white or black (if night mode is off) rectangle. Like a tag or something. It is annoying that I can't post a picture of it.
Is this a glitch or something ? It really annoys me.
Thanks !
I'm not familiar with that glitch. The first thing to try is booting into recovery and wiping the system cache which will likely fix your issue.
If you are using a theme that could also be the culprit--unlike the theme stores on Xiaomi and Huawei phones Samsung isn't good about warning users when a theme might be out of date or incompatible.
The last thing to try is a complete factory reset of your phone which hopefully won't be necessary.
When doing a factory reset due to the type of issue you are describing you are much better off using the fresh start option in the phone setup screen rather than choosing to restore from a Google Cloud backup because the backup can also restore corrupted system data that is creating your issue so you end up restoring your problem along with your apps.
Fixed it.
It's a stupid setting in accessibility - > show button shapes.
Thanks though.

I've never even heard of that setting but it's good you were able to fix it.
Before the S10+ I haven't owned a Samsung phone in quite a while but I'm definitely not a fan of One UI. Samsung baked in way too much useless garbage.
LG-H918, been a great phone. Not rooted, all original.
As of today (first I noticed) when you touch the recent apps square, the various apps appear, and you can scroll through them. Each time I attempt to select whichever app, the phone blanks very quickly and returns to the home screen.
I can clear the apps in the recent apps screen by swiping and using the x.
If I try split screen on apps that are able to use it, the first app appears at the top, and when I try a second, the second blanks and the home screen appears on the bottom half. I then can expand the upper app to fill in the whole screen.
I've repeatedly restarted the phone, and also shut down and removed the battery. No effect.
Is there a setting or something I may have done to cause this?
