Can we add widgets on lock screen after update? - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can we add widgets on lock screen after update to 4.0.4?if yes pls tell me how...

Just tried it out and it seems i can only add Appz and not actual widgets ? Try this .....
Settings >
Security >
Screen lock >
Swipe >
Lock screen options >
Shortcuts >
Then select your Appz by clicking on the icons and add what you want from your list.
Hope that helps

Buddy as soon i select swipe it returns back to security screen and do not ask for anything further.......

This is what i did , have you got the short cuts turned on ? (slide the slider right till it turns green )
Ok i messed my instruction post up lol
Security >
Lock screen options >
Shortcuts >
Select from list
What i meant to say was you select your "lockscreen security" I used swipe and return to "Security" and then select "Lock screen Options" Sorry about that

Could not find it...i think this option is not available for p3100 model.......

Oh sorry to hear that , I'm on a 3110 (running a 3113 ROM ) .I just looked at your usual manual and it says nothing about adding stuff on the lock screen

Wake windows using any button - not just power button

Hi all,
I was using TNT version for quite a while and there was an option to active windows from sleep by using any button of the device and not just the power button. Now that I bought LG KS20 I cannot find this option in the original rom!
Do you think I could enable this feature somehow?
go to:
start > Settings > Personal > Buttons > Select "Lock" Tab > Select "Do not lock buttons"
Hi!
I'm afraid it's not there. The Lock feature has two option tabs: Password and Reminder (I'm translating from Greek so this may vary from the actual English text). For some reason it seems to be hidden. Any ideas on how to enable this feature?
very good question, i'm also very interesed !

Remove Settings Tab from Home Screen Tab Slider

Question: how do I remove the "Settings Tab" from the Home Screen Tab Slider?
I can get to the Settings by pressing the Windows-Logo physical button at the bottom of the phone and then choosing Settings... hence I don't need the Settings Tab on the slider. In Settings > Personalize > Home Screen Tabs ... can un-tick all but Home and Settings ... I want to do the equivalent of un-ticking Settings.
tried searching but get lots of results on how to get rid of everything else but the settings tab.
ANSWER: found it
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > HTC > Manila > Configuration > # (where # is a number from 0 to 16 based on where you have the Settings Tab in the Home Screen Tabs slider order)
Name-----------Data
================
Enable..............1
PageName.........Manila://settings.page
Title.................Settings
Change the Enable to a 0 (00000000)
WARNING: will need to re-enable this flag to add and remove tabs to the Home Screen Tabs slider ... but good way to stop someone from playing with my phone and adding the twitter addition.
You cant get rid of it (and it makes sense). Tell me p.ex. how you would access the windows-settings without the tab (unless you didnt activate "show normal settings in startmenu" via BSBTweaks or similar). Thats the reason why HTC made in untickable.

Couldn't you just click start and select Settings, even with a stock HD2?
Hi there.. How do we make the icons under Settings screen to be in alphabatic order..?
Ooops
I thought I have a smart idea...
The hint with removing the settings tab in the slider brought me to an other point.
I was always annoyed be the Home-Tab. I dont need it, since I can reach the home screen with the Home key (hardware key). So it is redundant. At lease I thought so.
I removed the Home-Tab - it worked immediately! And from that moment on the I couldn't reach the homescreen anymore.
Conclusio: Good Tweak - with unexpected result.
At least I am no longer annoyed by the home tab.

Deactivate SMS message preview on the "Swipe to Unlock Screen"

I have my screen set to automatically lock at 5 minutes. This is the same time interval as my screen timeout.
If the screen is on and I press the power button to turn the screen off and then on again, this is the "Swipe to Unlock Screen". I have not been able to find a way to turn off txt message preview on this screen. This functionality was in Lollipop on the ATT Galaxy S5 and I cant believe that it did not make the S6.
Additionally, I cannot find a way to turn off txt message preview on the ticker bar on the top of the screen.
Security on this phone is a nightmare for dating.

This setting has no effect/does not work. Give it a try and see if it works for you, I bet it does not.
The only thing functional is setting it to 'hide all notifications on the lock screen'.

Tap vs slide to answer/reject phone calls?

I had this set to tap on the icons (instead of the default slide) to answer or reject a phone call but now I can't find it. Anyone remember how does one is done on the S8? Thanks in advance!
Its in accessibility settings. Search for "Single Tap Mode" in settings to find it quicker.

Was thinking the same .. until I've finally found it, go to Settings > Accessibility > Interaction and dexterity > Assistant menu > Enable it, then scroll down to "Single tap to swipe" and Enable it, after that you can scroll back up to the top and Disable the "Assistant menu", otherwise you will have that circle on your screen.. and you can notice the "Single tap to swipe" remains "On" even with the "Assistant menu" disabled. Enjoy!

If you long press the menu u can hide it. But for me it works with assistant menu off.

For some works but for others all work except "for calls" e.g. alarms, notifications, etc. , you can then enable the "Assistant Menu", the circle button can be hidden if you tap and hold it, it will show a "Drag here to hide X" at the top, once that is gone, you can get rid of the "Accessibility" notifications easily by going to Settings > Accessibility > click on the 3 dots in the corner right, then "Hide status notifications":

(remove the space after http to load the images)
The problem is the only thing that i need is the calls - all others i don't use
I tried this on my Sprint s8+ which just got pie and even after doing this the notification for the assistant menu stays on the notification bar and can't be removed (it's minimized and silenced so only visible when u swipe down but can't be hidden or removed)

I am trying to set up a Moto E6 for better accessibility for my 86yo mother-in-law. The phone upgraded to Pie, but there does not seem to be an option for tap to swipe even when I activate the menu. Any other ideas for how to get a tap to answer a call since she can't hold the button and swipe? I see comments about senior-friendly launchers and an app called easy answer. Even with the lock screen disabled the phone still demands swipe to answer. She'd have to have the phone screen on at all times to get a push to answer prompt from Motorola.
Thanks,
Dan
