When I moving around with my fingers, sometimes a screen lock symbol shows up on the left top corner. Then I can't click anything. It seems like the phone lock function. I can go back to main screen but I cna't click anything. The only way to unlock it is to reboot. Did anyone knows how to unlock it? It may comes handy as the lock function. Thanks.

2 quick questions, they might be something simple sorry but I dont know how to get this to work.
1) How do you unlock your phone without the stylus? I know if you hold the end call key for 3 secs it locks it but I want to unlock the phone without the stylus. I hate ejecting it so the power goes on and then I can slide my finger on the "Lock Icon" left or right to unlock the phone.
2) How do you change the "Lock" Icon mapping? By that I mean its located at the top and I would like to move it to the bottom or middle. Once somehow automatically it was located in the middle and then I rebooted my phone and it went back to the top again.
I don't understand question 1 are you saying you take the styles out to turn the phone on? why don't you use the power button at the top? Then use your finger when it turns on to unlock it. I will admit i don't use the lock fetcher
But i think i understand the second question to move it to the bottom, go to start/setting/today/Items this will have a list of "icons" you have on the main screen select the Device Lock and move it to the bottom of the list. this should move it to the bottom and you are done.
1) you can unlock your phone without pulling your stylus out. press the power button to turn the screen on and then press unlock on the bottom left softkey followed by the confirmation on the center right side of the screen.
on the otherhand what you're asking for is called S2U (slide to unlock) which is an app the mimicks the iphone's lock interface
2) what mapping are you talking about? on the tf3d where the app tab is at? if so, then you just move it by using diamond tf3d tweak OR manually deleting the app and relocating it to where you want it.
Cool thanks for the help on question 1 I didnt know that.
For question 2 the same thing, do you know when the phone is locked and you have that icon that you have to slide left or right so that you can access the main menu on your phone (has the time, contacts, view messages, email etc.). That little bar that reads slide and has a padlock icon in the middle of it. That little button I want to reallign it in the screen. It happened once but I didnt press or change anything for it to happen, it just did.
Bump .
Does anyone know how to change which apps are shortcuts on the lock screen? Currently, I can drag the lock ring right to unlock, up for phone, left for camera, and down for text messaging. I'd like to replace the down shortcut with Google Voice.
I am running the JB soak test with root.
Thank you!

I asked the same question at androidforums in the Photon Q section there. From the answers I received (or lack thereof), my guess is that they can't be changed without changing the lock screen altogether. Apps like GoLocker (which I believe requires GoLauncher EX also be installed) or WidgetLocker (a paid app) will do the trick, but if there is a way to do it with an out-of-the-box phone, I have yet to find it.
Since I'm here, I'm wondering, does the Photon Q have the ability to turnt he lock screen off? as in, you can set the phone's home screen or whatever you were last doing to come up when you hit the power button to turn the screen back on, instead fo going tot he lock screen. I would assume that ability is retained, but since Moto apparently changed the lock screen, I wonder if they removed that function thoughtlessly, as some are known to do.

yes you can set the phone up in JB to have no lock screen. Hit power button and return to last screen viewed.:good:
Anyone else find it odd that you can't swipe the sleeping edge to the right to get the t-1 screen without swiping left first.
I'm mean is a dedicated screen swiping it right or left should activate it.
Any way to change it?
I use SMART LOCK and FINGERPRINT scanner but even when my screen says it's unlocked by smart lock I still have to swipe up to get to my home screen. Is there any way around this? I was afraid I was going to miss the rear finger print scanner that would just instantly get me to my home screen after picking up my phone correctly. Thanks
I think the only way to do that is with facial recognition. I know there's an option for that security to unlock/swipe the screen after it recognizes your face.

I didn't setup smart lock yet, but I do have fingerprint setup. When screen is black, I put my registered finger to the right spot and phone unlocks and goes to home screen
There's an option for face unlock
For smart unlock, I'm afraid that that's not possible since that swiping is the only thing protecting your phone to be accidentally while walking/running or whatever you are doing those moments.
This can be done with Face Unlock

You can also set up "Unlock with S Pen remote" - pressing the S pen button will turn the phone on and bring the last screen you visited.

go to your phone settings, search for face recognition and turn off "Stay on Lock Screen"
Hi there . I've been using a Galaxy S10 for the past 3 years. When I flicked open the cover, it went straight onto the home screen, without ANY lock screen, not even swipe.
I did disable the lock screen on this Xiaomi 12T, but I still can't get rid of a screen that requires me to swipe before I get to my home screen. How can I get rid of it?
Thank you in advance!

Not possible and this prevents an app from accidentally launching.
Damn . Since I have a cover with a latch, apps accidentally launching are a non-issue
Another case of product design which sacrifices customization in the name of "saving the majority".
Ouffff. Anybody know any workaround? Other than rooting the phone
No workaround,without rooting and this remains to be verified, except maybe with an AOSP rom.
I believe in the extended settings/ developer options (to activate hit several times miui version in detailed cell phone overview from settings) it is possible to deactivate lockscreen.
