So I recently did a manual update to 2.3.2 , and since that update I've been getting this glitch that is annoying the heck out of me. While I'm on the phone , I hear the lock sound , as if I locked the phone. I checked to see if my finger hit the lock button and it was nowhere near it. I happens every once in a while but geez its annoying...Has anyone heard of or had this issue? If so PLEASE HELP. I've tried restoring the device and the glitch continues
It may be a part of your settings or a 3rd party application that is being restored after you restored your device. Try restoring your device again. This time DO NOT sign into gmail at the prompt. Instead, choose SKIP. Click the market icon from the app drawer and sign in from there. This prevents market from automatically installing apps, as well as restoring previous backed up settings.

Alternatively, couldn't you just turn the lockscreen sound off? I always forget there is even a sound because I turn it off.

I'm confused because my phone doesn't have a lock sound and hasn't since I first turned it on
Check that Settings -> Sound -> Screen lock sounds is off

The notification bar is unresponsive (cannot pull it down) when the phone is locked and I get an email or sms. When I immediately wake up the phone and try to pull down the notification bar it doesn't work. The 2nd attempt works.
Could somebody please try to reproduce this bug? Thank you.
Happens to me too; and I'm guessing you're using a different launcher?
When you boot the phone up without the SIM it is locked, and the launcher is hiding that.
Try force closing the launcher and you'll see whwhat I mean, there is a screen requiring your motoblur email and password.
Alright so I hadn't unlocked my phone yet this morning when I read your post. I unlocked it (new emails overnight) and swiped the notification bar down, no issues.
I don't know if this makes a difference, but I'm using the fingerprint sensor.

I don't use another launcher unfortunately. Everything is stock not even root access.

It only doesn't respond if you get them in that moment. You here the notification sound and then you unlock your phone and try to pull down the notification bar. When I get emails over night and I look at them in the morning it works.

I just tried this. Sent myself an email from gmail to work email (I use the google email.apk, not the moto blur for exchange). Phone was in my hand. When it dinged, I unlocked and notification bar worked.
THen I tried the same with exchange to gmail (motoblur gmail), and the bar worked again.
Do you use the fingerprint sensor, or is it locked in any way, or do you use the slider without password?

As a followup... I disabled the fingerprint sensor and tried this with the normal lock screen. Both the gmail and exchange tests worked

Thank you I still have this problem after a factory reset. I use the normal lock screen without any pin or pattern. I's weird because to me it looks more like a software problem but I have no idea why some devices don't have this problem.
For the life of me, I cannot find where the lock screen settinsg are on the SGS3. Anyone let me know?
Thanks!

Yes there are some lock screen settings there but in terms of changing what apps appear on the lockscreen and other type settings it appears that AT&T in their infinite wisdom has decided that's too many options to worry about. Don't want to confuse us users or anything.

Wow...so the reveiws I saw about adding/removing widgets to the lock screen is a moot point for us AT&T folks now...awesome.
How about modifying the apps that are available on the lock screen?
Maybe I'm blind or maybe someone smarter than me can figure it out but I think the only answer is we need root and maybe even need a custom rom to fix (I like to think of it as unbreak).

Is this on an AT&T branded S3? Cause I don't have any menu option "Shortcuts" on mine.
OK nevermind, I figured out why I can't see it. I had Swipe lock with secure lock checked off since I have secure lock turn on automatically every time I hit the power button. Didn't think there was any point in having to swipe twice, once on the dandelion and once on secure lock, but I do see occasionally see the lock screen when it times out without hitting power. Once I enabled swipe lock with secure lock Lock Screen Options went from a greyed out option (which I thought was a header) to a clickable one.

It would be really cool if the camera shortcut would bypass the pattern unlock too. Either way, it is cool as soon as it unlocks the camera appears.
Has anyone tried the text shortcut where you bring the phone to your face and it calls them?

You can change the apps on the lock screen. Settings> security> lock screen options>shortcuts then follow the directions on the screen. I don't think you can have more than four apps on the lock screen, though.

It works from contact view, but it doesn't seem to work from Google Voice text, or messaging text. I'll keep messing with the settings to see if I can get it to work as in the european unboxing event.
Seems we should have a thread with bugs and if anyone knows how to fix them, solutions since we finally have Lollipop now.
First bug I've encountered is in Google Voice.
If you open the advanced settings, two of the options are grayed out that should be available... they allow google voice to hear you if you have an app open, or the screen turned off, and also to allow you to train it.
If you reboot your phone, you WILL have access to these settings for a short period of time before it dies again. just retain it then.
Voice search works if you have a homescreen open, or if you have google search open, but the additional functionality is busted.
I also searched, and it looks like Sprint users ran into the same thing when they got lollipop a month ago.
Where the hell is the samsung app store? Kind die for Samsung keeps crashing too! Wtf?
Its called either galaxy gifts, or galaxy apps.
I'd just clear the cache on it though instead of turning it off.. they offer some apps with exclusive add ons, and some freebies you might want.
Also, I remembered something mentioned a few days ago.. go into application settings and turn off dm-ignite.
(Its a browsing snoop app that collects your data, and send it to Verizon so they can share it with marketing partners so they can serve you advertisements in browsers and applications.)

Go to Widgets and add the Galaxy widget to get to the Samsung store.
Not a bug, but it seems like one... this game is impossible! Has anyone had any luck with it? (Settings - About Phone - 5 taps on android version to get the lollipop logo, then swipe to get the game)

When using the power button to lock the device, there is an ever slight delay. The screen goes black but I can still accidentally open an app when setting it down. I did the OTA without factory reset and then ended up doing a factory reset. Still there. It reminds me of what used to happen on some roms back in the SGIII days. It's not a deal breaker and if that's the biggest issue, I can live with it.
Major problems with graphics inside of games. Marvel contest of champions looks like [email protected]#t now. Everything is dark and dull. Have been unable to find any fix for it

Fyi, when on home if you click the all apps icon, and when browsing all your installed apps hit the menu ellipsis, galaxy apps is an option in that menu. Just lucked out when I found d it.

In the stock touchwiz launcher with the app drawer open, hit the top right button (menu) and at the bottom is "Galaxy Essentials"

Now that is odd. I have not seen that option since I had my Galaxy S5. Thought it was a Note thing. To confirm, it is not there and was never there on my Note 4. Wonder if it's because I purchased from Samsung rather than Verizon. Seems Samsung would include their own Essentials app though. All Verizon apps were present.
S health pedometer doesn't show on lock screen if lock screen notifications are enabled. And also with wifi on the mobile data arrows don't disappear and I'm still seeing some upload traffic on 4g while using wifi.

Do you have weather bug that displays the current temperature in the notification bar? That seems to count as a notification so as long as that's on no pedometer.

No I keep my notification bar clear on the left. I think there is a way to set the priority level of weather bug notifications that will keep them off the lock screen. Seems I did it for play store on my S5 as I hated the lock screen notifications for app updates. I just can't remember how I did it.

Changing priority either blocks the notifications on the bar all together, allows them, or leaves them saying "sensitive information blocked". I don't think there is anyway around it.
My Note 4 seemed very slow at first after the update, so I entered the recovery menu and cleaned the cache partition, and that seems to have fixed it.
Swappiness == 130?
I installed on 4/3. BOAF. I didn't factory reset, I did clear the system cache (several times). Pretty much everything seems great! For a while- except, it is burning the hell out of my battery/CPU (which 4.4.4 never did) and I notice (via OS Monitor) that kswapd0 is running A LOT. Even when I am showing 450mb free, kswapd0 is using 6-10%. Often it goes up to 23% and my battery lasts 1/2 what it did before. I've rebooted a number of times, no change.
So, I started looking into kswapd0 and one parameter that is important is 'swappiness'.
I checked : cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
And it says : 130
Yes, 130! That's pretty insane - the standard default is usually around 60 (and could stand to be even less, frankly on a 3gb device like this). But anyhow, 130 is causing major issues!
Has anyone been able to get the advanced calling to work? I activated it but the option to video call is grayed out? Any ideas?

So my S7 Edge is constantly telling me for additional security purposes to input my pattern instead of my fingerprint, which is what I've set it to, to unlock the device. And it happens very frequently. Almost to an absurd amount.
Is anyone else experiencing this with their S7 Edge? It's very annoying because I only want to use my fingerprint to unlock my device. I understand during a reboot that it might ask for it the first time, fine, but after that, it should be done. But it keeps asking me for it randomly and frequently.
Does anyone know what is going on there? Why it happens so often?
It only happens to me after a reboot.

Do you use Nova launcher? I've noticed it will require me to enter my pattern if I use the double tap to turn off display feature.

I have the same problem and I can confirm that when I use Action Launcher's turn off display shortcut it causes the "additional security" prompt to come up, otherwise no prompt. I will try using the above referenced app instead.
I'm using NOVA and am getting this incessantly (though I cannot see any pattern, it can appear after I manually lock, or when the screen times out). I'm not using any shortcuts to turn off the screen (like double tap)
Am on APC7 firmware, upgrades haven't made a difference. One of the most glaring annoyances in an otherwise wonderful phone
Is anyone NOT having this issue while using NOVA or a non-stock launcher? Would be happy to switch launchers (or even factory reset)
update: have tried using the google launcher, disabling NOVA but to no avail

Since I upgraded from PC8 to PD1, I also experienced this problem but the app you mentioned still not solved it. The device still requires a pattern instead of fingerprint unlock.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/help/security-policy-prevents-fingerprint-t3354270
I've got it solved.
If you're using Nova Launcher disable the Lock Screen option from device admin to > None
The solution which works for me is a simulation of power button. Try this [root required]: http://llamalab.com/automate/community/flows/2002
