[Q] Where are the Lock Screen Settings?

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).

Also, this is where you can turn on an information ticker (news/ stocks only right now it appears), weather, and dual clocks for those who travel out of their time zone.

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.

Thanks -that did it

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.

Post your Lollipop 5.01 bugs here

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.

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.

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?

[Q] Just got the Yotaphone2, and two small annoying problems

Hi all,
intrigued by the phone and due to the fact that I'm an avid reader, I decided to go for it.
I'm still getting used to it but I've got two small annoying problems that I can't figure out if it's a device fault or else:
1) when two-finger typing, if I press two letters fast enough, it records it as a swipe gesture. Not a major thing, I can type slower than that, but it would be interesting to know if this is an issue specific with Lollipop or else.
2) I've enabled the pattern lock, but I can still unlock the phone without any pattern when sliding bottom-up the main screen. This is a bit more annoying, as when keeping the phone in the pocket it happens I get it unlocked by mistake and I thought the pattern lock would solve this.
Is this normal?

1. If that keyboard-swipe thing happens on the color screen, make sure you have disabled "Gesture typing" from the Google Keyboard settings (Settings - Language & input). Alternatively you can also try out some different keyboard app. If it happens on the EPD, then I guess you're out of luck.
2. Some other user reported that same issue with the slide-unlock, but I tried it just now and for me it asks for the pattern no matter how the screen is turned on.

hey and thanks for the reply.
1) I do use the gesture typing/swype keyboard as well as normal typing. My previous Nexus 4 had no problems no matter the speed I'm typing at. It's just on the main screen the EPD works fine and I'm kinda getting used to its laggines.
2) this is totally odd.. are you on Lollipop as well?

1. You could test some other keyboard app which supports Swipe. Although that does sound a bit that the system can't keep up with your typing and is flooded with touch events.
2. Yes, I'm on Lollipop. For me the slide-up just turns on the screen, and I need to swipe up again for the pattern entry screen to show up. It must be some specific combination of settings.

There are features called "smart lock" in the security settings that can bypass the pattern lock under certain conditions, maybe your set up is glitching and it may be worth poking around in there to see if something is set up.

Hi manmikey. I've checked and all the Smart Lock features are turned off, I've tried to play around a bit but can't really see anything out of place.
I currently have:
- screen lock: pattern
- lock second screen: on
- make pattern visible: off
- automatically lock: 5 secs unless kept unlocked by Smart Lock
- Power btn instantly locks: on
- Smart Lock: all off, but a very specific Sony speaker system
anything else that could impact this?
Might be just an Android bug?

I'm at a loss then, could it be a rouge "trusted face"? Maybe a blank face is in there! when the camera is looking for a face to unlock there is a symbol at the bottom centre of the screen that looks like a person in a circle, when defected the symbol changes to an open padlock, are you seeing anything like this when you swipe up to unlock?
Sent from my YD201 using XDA Free mobile app

there's no symbol: I can unlock the device (with the pattern lock active) just by swiping the main screen from the bottom center, up.
Just like that, and there's no screen in between the "turned off" state and the "android desktop".
I've checked and there are no registered friendly-faces in the smart lock, on top of it being off.

Hi. First of all, sorry for my bad English. I bought the Y2 few days ago and I had the swype problem. I tried one thing and, maybe, it is a possible solution. Tell me if it works.
(I don´t know how are the exactly menu names)
Settings-Language & input-google keyboard (6th option)-advanced Options-delay to hold: change the number to a higer one.
It works??
I have another problem. Could you help me?
When I use the keyboard, in the bottom right there is a keyboard icon (It serves to switch the keyboard). When I swipe, I always press the icon with my thumb accidentally and I can´t write.
Is there any way to remove the icon from there?
Thanks!

"Touch-disable mode" switch disappeared after Oreo update?

Hello!
I'm using the P10 Plus and I'm not able to find the setting for Touch-disable mode anymore. (I'm pretty sure it was there on previous android version)
This "Touch-disable mode" setting seems to be always on, after Oreo update.
It could be cool for everyday use, but it's a BIG problem when I like to put the phone into a plastic case/bike phone holder.
I get the message "do not cover the top of the screen..." and I'm not able to unlock the smartphone from the case.
That's soooooo annoying!!
Does anyone know a workaround for this issue??
Thank you very much!

Am I the only one with this problem?

When you lock your phone you try to cover the top part tgen you'll see on display says disable it pressing power and volume up I think.

Tnx, I know, but when the device is in a motorbike holder ( like my Givi S957B ) it's quite impossible to press power and volume up...
I'm just asking why in oreo firmware the "touch-disable mode" is not available anymore.
For me it's a big issue!

No, same problem comes with the Huawei P20 Pro. Touch-disable mode is enabled, but there is no option to disable it. :crying:

Came on here as had the same problem. I found that if you tap volume up and power button 3 times it disables or enables it. It doesn't work anyway, if you accidentally press the fingerprint scanner in your pocket, it unlocks the phone and you end up changing all your settings and calling a porn line all from your pocket.

The above worked for me about 3 weeks ago on my P20 Pro.
I had an update to the phones os last week, now it's reverted back to not liking the sensor being covered when I have the phone in my running armband.
The "Touch Disable Mode" option has disappeared from the System Table section of Settings Database Editor. Most annoying!

Hey
So I installed the Setting Database Editor app to change the setting and then uninstalled it to see if the change would persist without the app - it did not, so I went and reinstalled the app but also found that the "touch_disable_mode" setting was missing so I added it manaually and its working ...no more annoying message about nonsense.

Any app to turn s10+ screen off?

I know guys, there are a ton. But so far I found only two kinds:
- Some completely block your phone, not allowing you to unlock with face or fingerprint.
- Some -idk why- turn off the screen and randomly turn it on inmediatly after. This doesn't happen evertime, but it's a problem cos if you have smartlock activated then the screen is on and phone in unlocked...
I just want a way to imitate the power button single tap function. I don't like pressing physical buttons, I use a gesture to turn the screen off before putting it inside my pocket. And yesterday I pocket-dialed two people...

Nova has a double tap to sleep function, and greenify used to have a short-cut to the same thing.

I use Gravity Screen Pro. It has a pocket sensor setting, turn screen off/on by proximity, screen on/off by motion, fingerprint unlock, etc.

Either Gravity Screen or KinScreen. I have premium for both but have been using KinScreen for the past few years as it was stable than Gravity Screen, but I haven't used Gravity Screen's latest version either.

I'll have to look at KinScreen, although I've had zero problems WITH Gravity Screen on my S9.

I know guys, there are a ton. But so far I found only two kinds:
- Some completely block your phone, not allowing you to unlock with face or fingerprint.
- Some -idk why- turn off the screen and randomly turn it on inmediatly after. This doesn't happen evertime, but it's a problem cos if you have smartlock activated then the screen is on and phone in unlocked...
I just want a way to imitate the power button single tap function. I don't like pressing physical buttons, I use a gesture to turn the screen off before putting it inside my pocket. And yesterday I pocket-dialed two people...

So i initially tried using Nova double tap gesture. It would turn the screen off but a second later it would go to the lock screen. Now i use Good Lock by Samsung and i actually like it a lot. In Good Lock go to the the "Family" tab - (no idea why it's called this) and then select One Hand Operation +.... I created a Small Right handle that turns the screen off when i slide it. Works great and i have yet to activate it by accident.

I use Gravity Screen Pro. It has a pocket sensor setting, turn screen off/on by proximity, screen on/off by motion, fingerprint unlock, etc.

My experience with these apps is that they fail sometimes and I just don't want to have my phone turning on inside my pocket, I think it's risky.

Yes, I looked for it and it's not on some regions. And it's not in mine. I'll try to find the apk.

What region are you in? Weird, because it's an official Samsung App... let me know if you can't find it and i can post the apk for you... Also, make sure it's the 1.0.00.46 version, as they just updated it to work with Pie.

I also am desperate for this feature. Tried all of the apps and all of them go to the lock screen for some reason. I contacted a couple of developers but idk if they can do anything. Tried the one hand gestures and it does work but the thing is I still prefer double tap to lock instead of those swipe gestures. I think this feature should be natively supported like on almost every other android phone.

And be aware that there is a Good Lock in Play Store but it's not the same app. Like someone else said, get the one in Galaxy Store.

Use edge feature and download softkey from galacy store just slide over and press button to lock phone

Nova has a double tap to sleep function, and greenify used to have a short-cut to the same thing.

I use Nova for that: ||>>>Gestures & Inputs>Home button>Screen lock(uncheck "only on main home...")
then go to 'Gestures' below, click "Swipe up" and also check "Screen lock" Now, I use 'Full screen gestures" for nav bar already, so that Nova gesture setup is not messing up the nav bar gestures but rather compliments it. Example: I have some app open on the screen and swiping it up(w/o Nova) in the center would bring me to the Home screen(and that is being mimic w/Nova too) then the second 'swipe up' locks the screen. Simple, quick double 'swipe up' from any app does the trick, if you are on the home screen already then you just swipe it up only once.

I also use full screen gestures. The problem is not the gesture. The problem is that I need an app to turn off the screen. There are like a hundred apps that do that. But they all have one of the two problems I said before.
I'll look for the good lock in a bit. I have to find the apk.

"there was a network or server error. Try again later. The mapper function returned a null value"
I'm getting this error when I open good lock. Apparently it's not supposed to be use in Argentina. I'll try Nova launcher now.
