Hi,
Since two days I'm a happy and proud Note owner, but there's one thing, that makes me really go crazy:
I installed the program "Widgetlocker", because the standard lockscreen is quite broing. It actually works quite good, but sometimes the standard lockscreen still apears. Not instead of the widgetlocker, but additional. So I always have to unlock two lockscreens.
Does anybody else has got this problem? And how can I fix it?
I tried to find a solution in different forums and in the program configuration, without sucess!
Thanks for help!
Edit: The error apears mostly when there's a pop-up (gtalk e.g.) or when I plug in the charger....
I turned on root helper and home helper in settings, that fixed it for me. I'm on Stock Rooted XXKK9 if that helps.

I presume you have set the lock screen to "none" in the actual phone settings too?

Hi, chrcad,
Finally, the someone else who's been having the same problem.
It IS really irritating. Sometimes it's OK, but other times it just comes on.

My widgetlocker works fine. Been using it since day 1. Hmm.. Sorry. Not sure how to help.
chrcad,
Your problem seems related to the fact that Android is not having enough memory left ans simply closes "useless" apps and considers that WL is part of them. To prevent that to happen, simply check in advanced settings the "refuse to suspend WL" box and Android will look another application than WL to close

Thanks @ everybody for the help, but unhappily it's still not working properly.
The problem always apperas, when the phone's sleeping and a gTalk message comes in.... but ONLY, when the gTalk ppop-up is activated......
Any (more) idea?
you are leaving it running all the time aren't you?
I use to have the same problem, very rarely but it was still annoying. I have put a lock on widgetlocker so if I ever close all programs, widgetlocker is still running. It's not happened since but it's only been a few days so I'll see.

Some pop-ups cause this if they're designed to appear underneath the stock lockscreen rather than dismiss it.
For now:
1) Easy Wake Mode disables the system lockscreen
2) WL Settings > Long-press volume down for Experimental > Aggressive Dismiss stock lockscreen. This should work, but it's not well tested yet so it's off by default.
I have a weird bug/problem. On my nexus 5, whenever i hangup a phone call the end button and screen do not go away. The back button does not work but the home and recent apps does. Any help would be appreciated. I can upload a video of the problem. MODS: sorry if this is the wrong area. please move if necessary.

Having the same problem! really annoying!!! Was not how Nexus 4 was or any other phone I have used. There have been settings on some dialers of what to do after hanging up, like return to dialer, return to call log or home screen. None on this built apparently.

Try wiping play store app data.
I tried wiping the just the general play store data before and it didn't fix the issue. Just wiped all play related data: magazine, books, etc and it solved the issue. Thanks

i had the exact same issue, or more precisely :
I receive or pass a call. then, instead of going to the "in call" screen with the big red "hang up" button, i'm back to the home screen...
now this can happen, if i press the home button, but i don't. And if that was that, then first i would have the small "phone" logo in the upper left notification telling me i'm currently in call, and the "in call" screen would be accessible from the task manager, however the task manager displays absolutely nothing.... just like i wasn't making any call at all, except i can hear the person on the other side in my speaker.
Then i click on the big blue phone logo to get to the dialer screen, but i then get a screen which i never had before, with a black transparent background, proposing me to either use the default keyboard (if i click it i get the keyboard), either to "return to current call", and when i click it, i'm back to the homescreen... so the only way to hang up is to shut the phone down...
it's happened to me twice yesterday, but never before....
PS: just so we might find a common app that would cause the issue, i have installed on my N5 these apps :
dashclock
file manager
prochain bus
ridiculous fishing
sygic
today calendar
vlc
and thats all. Any of you have some apps in common ?
I also had the same issue during the first week or so...but with tym and aftr update the issue vanished!! Since 2014 i nvr faced this issue again!!

Different Dialer problem
Hi,
I am rooted running beanstalk. But before flashing had stock rom then Purity.
This problem happened after flashing Purity ROM.
When I make or receive a call, my screen goes blank and I cannot do,anything to wake the phone, unless the other party ends the call and then the screen may wake up if I touch the screen?!
Anyone else, please help.

Exact same issue here. No app in common... Did you manage to fix it ?
Fixed mine by turning off developer options and then rebooting
After unlocking my phone, I get to my home screen with all my folders etc. As soon as I swipe to the right, I get Google Now!
It's as if it's an always on widget. On my N4, I would invoke Google Now by holding the Home key and swiping upwards (which I can also do with my N5).
Is this something that can be switched off or is this an integrated function of the system?
I'm not looking to switch off Google Now before anybody asks.

As far as I can see the only option would be to either A) Uninstall Google Now, or B) Install a different Home Launcher ... Neither are suitable resolutions to your question. I personally like having it as a home screen since I turned off my softkeys in Lieu of LMS
The only thing I can think of is switch launchers to nova or something similar. You would lose the "OK Google" function from the launcher though., so not a good solution if you use that function. As far as I know there is now way to remove it from the stock launcher.

Long press the homescreen, click settings, then uncheck the Google now option.

Thanks guys.
I don't mind having it but just wasn't sure if it was a feature that can be turned off without completely disabling Google Now.
Battery life is quite impressive on this thing even with it always on!

It does not disable Google now entirely just the extra screen, maybe you should try it before you respond with useless replies.

This page is the same page as if you went into settings from Google Now Directly. This will turn it off.

For Sh*ts n Giggles I went ahead and tested your method. Guess what? It turned off Google Now Entirely.
Is there a way to get ok google to work on the edge?
Sent from my Samsung Note Edge using Tapatalk
It works just fine on my t-mobile edge. Just scroll to whatever home screen your Google search bar is on and say, Okay Google.
I was playing with the settings the other day to try to save battery power. I must have shut something off, because it doesn't work on mine.

Ok ran google setup and now it works. But it just made the search bar useless. Didn't like the looks of it anyway.

Have you tried this?
Settings -->language and input --> turn on voice search --> turn on, "ok Google" detection --> record your own, "ok Google "
When done, try it and works even when screens off....
That is a different way of getting there, but that is how I got it to work again. (You can also get there by using google setup in the app drawer) of course the OK Google is gone from the widget, but I guess it's better this way.

If you are using Nova launcher, it has the capability to work from any screen of the launcher. (homescreen/alt screens/dashboard)
Been using Nova for a few years and they've done a great job integrating things like this, while adding a little extra capabilities.
If you follow the directions in google setup, you can access OK Google from any screen and also if the lock screen is on if you choose to do so.

I know this but tons of other dont.
No one ever cares to read the manual.
Plus alot of stuff is disable by the carrier if they let them setup the phone.
That's why I always setup my own phone and then later go through all the settings.
I had my Note 3 able to send text messages by voice while the screen was off. And it's nice to be able to tell it to play a song while it's in your pocket.
Voice controls are cool to me. Just suck that's it's always listening so if you say something similar it will wake up.
Someone please help me out here. S voice is giving me some serious pain in the ass right now.
I want to disable S voice completely and only use Google Now but that seems to be impossible.
The Issue:
I can only OK Google from my home page where the Google search widget is. On my G3 I could OK Google from any app any screen and even lockscreen without a hiccup.
S Voice is causing issues pretty much everywhere I want OK Google
What I've tried:
Tried freezing S Voice in which case I lost the ability to OK Google from Anywhere and the lockscreen.
So tried using the S switcher app which was very buggy and had to simply uninstall it...
What I want:
Just plain OK Google and nothing else. All I want to be able to do is OK google from any screen and any app like I did so many times before on all other devices I've owned.
Ideally I would want to be able to activate it from lock screen too but that's not a priority.
Can anyone help me out here.
My friends S4 can do this all seamlessly too but the Edge seems to bug out everywhere because of S Voice
If you go to your Google settings in the app drawer, you'll find the options for ok Google to activate from any screen. I have a t-mobile Edge.
Google Settings->Search and Now
If you're rooted you can install xposed and install the ok Google module which works for any launcher

I can use OK Google from any screen and it's still available from the widget. I am using the stock launcher & have an AT&T Edge. My friend has a T-Mobile Edge and he couldn't get OK Google to work from any screen other than the home screen, even though his OK Google detection settings are the same as mine. He gave up and started using Nova launcher lol.. could be that some devices have an issue with this.

This pretty much sums it up. Like I have said I'm no noob when it comes to using Google Now and know every detail of it's settings. Yes, all my settings are set to activate from any screen yet it fails to activate.
The issue is if I freeze or uninstall S Voice I am no longer able to check mark the Activate from any screen box and if I have S Voice activated it just seems to cause issues with ok google and just a clumsy software overall.
I was just wondering if anyone had a workaround.
You have to freeze S-Voice, then clear data for the Google Search app and then set Google up again. Trust me.

You do have to freeze S voice. Then while in application manager go to Google search and clear data. Then get out of settings because you are correct the option to activate from any screen is gone. Now go to your app drawer and choose Google settings. Click on Search & Now. Click on Voice and set it up from there. The option is available in these settings.

YES! you da best. Now for the sake of it could I do the exact reverse to only use S Voice if I ever feel like using it exclusively?

Well I'm no expert but I don't see why it wouldn't work the same for S voice.
The issue I'm having is Google now won't work when connected to bluetooth. I have mine connected to my Gear S and when I say ok Google the bar stays frozen instead of jumping around showing you it's listening. Soon as I disconnect my watch it works fine. It's annoying!

Okay this is driving me nuts. I cannot locate the Voice Recorder app shortcut on my home screen, and I am unable to locate it in the app drawer as well.
However, if I go to settings -> apps -> all, I can see that it is installed on my phone. Does anyone know what's going on? Is there any way for me to launch the Voice Recorder app?
BTW I am using the AT&T version.

For some reason starting with lollipop, AT&T removed the stock voice recorder shortcut. It was there on my g3 when it had kit kat, but disappeared on the 5.0 update. I checked this twice because I bricked my G3 a couple times. I was hoping that it was just a missed bug or something on the AT&T lollipop update, but since I got the V10 and the shortcut is still missing, I'm thinking that this is no mistake. I use anycut to make a shortcut to it, but the "+" button crashes the app when you are on the screen where you select which recording to listen to. So I have to press the back key in order to make another recording. No other carrier has this problem with the g3 and V10 as far as I know.

I too have the AT&T version however mine came with no voice recorder at all. had to install one from the market. Running Lollipop out of the box. I wonder why all this is...
Yeah I just found this out today and was looking everywhere I could online. The only way I found out is that I have Nova Launcher on my phone. I was in the middle of making a shortcut when I noticed this.

Hey I just figured it out! I posted on the forum before this one. Its a short YouTube video I made. Hope it helps.
