Hi
Recently update my GS4 to I9505XXUGNF1 ( 4.4.2) , and realized that i cannot disable my lockscreen anymore in the settings ( settings>My device > lock screen > screen security ) because I cannot find the "NONE" option anymore , at the bottom.
The only choice available are : swipe, face unlock , face & voice unlock, pattern, pin, password....
How can I disable completely my Lockscreen (wake up directly in Homescreen, like when I am opening my s-view cover !!)
As a Security features, i would only keep my SIM card lock pin, at boot time..
thanks for your help...

You can't do anything if you don't have that option for no lockscreen only you can do maybe use your s-view cover ...
...but I had this "NONE" few days ago, before I updated my Firmware. Will try Factory reset and see.!?!
Update:
The factory reset did work ! The option "NONE" is back again in my menu, and I can select it. Solved!
Hi all, I've found a thing that annoys me so much.
Situation: you have smart lock enabled(pattern) with face recognition and you have nova launcher with a double tap gesture which points at an app like this: https://www.google.com/url?q=https:...sQFjAA&usg=AFQjCNH2WrgNyGB4zzQoGw-JCywm67EFcw (there are many apps similar, I tried with others too)
If you lock the screen double tapping, during the next unlock smart lock will be disabled. I don't know why because locking the device with the power button, the next unlock is working with face recognition.
It seems that the app which lock the device enables this feature: http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...-unlock-to-require-a-manual-unlock-next-time/ but why?
Can someone find a workaround for this?

There's a bug in Lollipop which affects the lock/unlock pin. Could it be that this is affecting you?
Hi All,
I'm running stock Lollipop 5.0.1 on my Nexus 4. I haven't rooted it and don't plan to
My issue is with the new lock/notification screen. I'm using a pattern to unlock and with the new lock screen I have to swipe up, then enter my pattern which adds an extra step over ICS.
I'm also using the smart lock so that it disables the pattern, but I still have to swipe to unlock which I don't want (I use it in the car connected to the radio and want to use voice commands. So not having to swipe is much handier)
Is it possible to disable this swipe/notification feature and use it like the ICS unlock screen, but retain the smart lock functionality
I've looked at other lock apps but they don't seem to work with smart lock.
Thanks in advance for any help
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck

Disable Smart Lock under Settings - Security - Smart Lock. Make sure that the 4 settings are disabled.

Thank you, problem solved, i have a Samsung Gear
I've had the s6 and the lock screen would actually set the way you wanted. I've set up my fingerprints and set the lock screen type to fingerprints, but it still shows the stupid "swipe screen to unlock" lock screen and ignores the fingerprint setting. I checked the smart lock settings and none of those are active. Any ideas what to try next?
Use your finger. Don't swipe.

Settings > Quick Settings > Lock screen and security > Secure lock settings > Secured lock time > Instantly with the power key or when the screen times out
Basically it is defaulted to not lock the phone until it has been off for 10 minutes, meaning you do not need to use the fingerprint to unlock it if you have recently done so.
Set it as I said and you will be required to use fingerprints every time (or a pin, pattern, or whatever secondary method you chose) and it will unlock directly to your homescreen.

Really? Why did you bother with that?
On the off chance you're being serious and not thread-crapping, the screen will only unlock via swipe. no matter the actual setting, it still acts like swipe is the lock screen setting.

THANK YOU! That is possibly the stupidest, least secure default setting they could have chosen! I like Samsung, but they make it hard sometimes. How stupid. Thanks!
I am having same problem & have my phone set to lock immediately. Frustrating bcuz I want that security feature & it's not working.
update: smart lock and my gear fit watch together, were the culprit
Take off all lock options on your s7... then download gesture lock screen from the play store and set it up. It gets rid of the swipe and you can also customize it a lot more. I just got the s7 and was about to return it, especially after seeing so many threads with this problem, but gesture lock screen works perfect for me. Good luck.
Was having the same issue. Would ask for swipe motion after locking if I attempted to use phone by pressing home screen button. As soon as I disabled Bluetooth it started to prompt for finger print again.
it works...

Thanks S7EdgeGirl, it worked fine after I turned off my bluetooth option...now its asking me for the finger print to UNLOCK..
Crazy..........................
thaks a lot..this helped me out...
Issue for me was the Samsung smart watch was listed as a trusted device in Smart Lock. Turn this off and now it locks immediately as intended.
Hey guys, i have finally got the solution!!!! It is happening because of the smart lock option. Please disable it. What smart lock does is, when u unlock the device it remains unlocked until its with you for emergency kind of thing. If you disable smart lock it will prompt you for entering pattern or any other which you have set. Thank you....

I have the same problem with c9pro
Guys please help. I already set my pattern and fingerprints lock in my c9pro but when i locked and immediately switch on the screen, my phone can unlock using swipe only
I already set Lock screen setting > secure lock setting > lock instantly with power key is ON
But still only need swipe to unlock
What should i do?
Thanks
My s7 stuck on swipe. BT off set for fingerprints initially restated phone went through "new" security measures then after first fingerprint opening reverts to swipe. Changed to no security restarted then 're set up still no good. Figuring it was fingerprints changed to pin set up still works as swipe....frustrating
