NFC tag?

I did say without Volume Keys and a widget is no good. Thanks for being so helpful.

Great THANKYOU, just what i needed, a way to quickly silence the phone. Always had Samsung's before this.

[Q] Wake to unlock

I'm wondering if there's a way to make it so other buttons will wake the phone so you see the lock screen. Ideally the home button, but I'd be happy with just the volume rocker
There is an app and it works really well.... I forgot the name though

It's called No Lock
I may use no lock since I can't seem to find a good lock screen that will show email sms and weather. However I meant how can I get the phone to respond to more than just the power button from a black screen...
Thanks anyway
widgetlocker able to show emails and other widgets.
it able to wakeup phone with volume keys "sometimes".

This is actually my biggest gripe about the phone! Only way to wake it is to hit the power button. Lame. Unless someone knows something I don't
If you enable No Lock you can use the volume rocker as well as the power button to wake the phone

Weird. Not for me. Only power button awakens. I'm running Launcher Pro... wonder if that could be it?

[Q] Mute control, volume settings

Surprisingly, there is no mute button on the lock screen. And I can't see it on the notifications/quick settings panel neither. Am I missing something? Don't really want to use widget for that.

For the lockscreen, I don't know, but after unlocking it, u press the vol down button until it's muted or set to vibrate.

Do one of the following:

§ Press the POWER button.

[Q] Ringer on/off

I search this specific forum but couldn't find anything on this topic.
I was wondering if it was possible to put a hot key or button or something on the lock screen or even on one of the pages to silence the phone with out having to turn it down manually with the rocker switch?
I had a motorola atrix 2 and it had something on it's locked screen to silence and unsilence the phone.
Of course I also like the locked screen on the atrix 2 better then my skyrocket but that and the silence button are the only 2 things I liked over my skyrocket.
Any advice or help would be great.
Thank you
You can enable the "Turn Over" motion feature to mute incoming calls and sounds. No need to press buttons.
See if that works for you.
That is awesome, thank you for the suggestion but I was thinking more along the lines of forgetting to silence your phone in say a meeting. Instead of having to unlock the phone and press the volume down button till silent, can I put a volume on / vibrate mode widget or something on my lock screen.

You can replace your lockscreen and use something like widgetlocker. And you can add whatever widget, slider action or shortcut you want. Search the market for other options.
Thanks a lot widget locker works great and does exactly what I want.

[Q] Volume control

Hey all,
I am coming from an EVO 3D which had CyanogenMod 10 with JB 4.2. When I pressed either of the volume rockers, the volume bar would pop up with the option to change all 3 volume settings, ringer/media/alarm.
On my nexus 5, I had to set up a shortcut for Sound Settings in order to change all 3 volumes. Am I missing a shortcut or easier way to adjust all 3 volumes? When I currently press the volume rocker, it only lets me change the volume for the ringer (or media if I'm playing music/games).
Thanks!
In the Settings hit Sound and then Volumes.

Try actually reading the OP before you reply next time.
I really miss this option as well. I know some custom roms on my GS3 used to have an option make that sound bar expandable or always expanded.

Actually, shaneledford understood exactly what I was asking. I was just asking to see if there was a way to enable this volume setting.
Too bad Google didn't catch on to this neat little shortcut.
This issue drives me up the wall. Anyone knows a way to quickly adjust volumes without digging through the settings I would greatly appreciated.

Question Change the Holding Side Key set to flashlight

Hi XDA community,
Yesterday I was remapping and customizing my first Samsung device. I don't know what I did either on Good Lock or on the settings or anywhere else, but somehow I set my side key to flashlight when holding down the side key button. I remember changing side key button to Power off menu. Please help, this is driving me nuts . Thank you in advance.

Look for "Double Press" using the settings search tool,it'll take you right to it & turn it off.

Hi thank you for your response. My Double Press is currently set to Quick launch camera, I'm good with this. But the Press and hold is set to Power off menu, but instead it turns on the flashlight,
Thank you I found it. I set in bixby routines. lol

I was just getting ready to suggest going into the Bixby settings, as I didn't find anything in any of the GoodLock modules that I have installed.
I currently have Bixby disabled by a desktop client (ADB AppControl), otherwise, that would have been my next move.
Glad you got that resolved.
