Lock screen question - Galaxy Note 3 General

Hi
Quick question, I'm on the latest kitkat 4.4.2 and my device is encrypted for my work email account. I have to use a PIN to unlock the screen
I do not have the option to add a lock screen widget. I've checked in the security settings where I'm led to believe the check box is to enable this but there is no option there to do this. Any ideas, is this because my device is encrypted?
Thanks

For security reasons, widgets are not available on a lockscreen security setting other than Swipe. This because you can use them to unlock the screen bypassing the security.

Thank you, now I know. Appreciate your answer.

[Q] Pattern screen unlocker APK

Hi,
I'm looking for the APK that asks me the good pattern to unlock my droid after I wake it up from screen off ?
could you please link me ?!
Not sure but I think what you're talking about is in the settings. You can go to security and set a lock pattern. You don't necessarily need a separate lock screen app if you just want a pattern.

Shortcuts on lock screen

I've tried to find this in settings but have had no luck. Does the VZW lock screen have this option? In Settings-> Security, I have no lock screen option.
Running stock rooted 4.1.2. Thanks!
Do you have Settings/Lock Screen? It should be there I think on VRBMB1. I'm on a custom rom so I'm not sure how much is changed. Or maybe even under Settings/Display?

I do.........but it's only available if Swipe Lock is active - which I don't use. I only use pattern lock.
So you can have lock screen shortcuts unless you swipe on the lock screen?

Make sure to select secure lock with swipe in the lockscreen settings. Then shortcuts should work with security.
Note the option does not show itself until after you've set your pattern or pin
Not interested in having to unlock my phone twice.
That is the most ridiculous set-up I've seen. Is that Samsung standard or VZW?

To have shortcuts on the lock screen, and NOT have to swipe, then pattern unlock.
But if it's not swipe then unlock, wouldn't that defeat the purpose of having a lock at all ? Also it's not swipe to unlock. Its swipe to select the app then it goes to lock.

Pull down notification screen in lock screen

Is there anyway to get the pull down notification screen on the lock screen if you have pin/pattern enabled?
I loved how iOS handled this, where you can see Notification Center in the lock screen but once you select a notification, you then have to unlock the device to go any further. Can this be done on Android?
BTW, I tried DashClock but it's very buggy on the N5 and does not do what I need. The pull down notification screen would work perfectly.
No this is not possible.

Thanks for the response, I guess the all mighty Andorid is not he customizable beast I was hoping it would be
Well you could just use the slide lock screen. Its not secure but the notification bar will be available.
Also there may be lock screen widgets that can show info you may be looking for like email, twitter, etc.

I saw this app mentioned in the apps section, but haven't tried it yet.. It's called Nils Notification Lockscreen..

Wait till XPosed is compatible with KK and you will get that feature.
Once xposed comes to 4.4 (soon), then so much more customization will be possible, including what you want to do.

Use quick settings from lockscreen ?

Hello guys,
There's something in the GS6 that bugs me out : I'm unable to use the quick settings on my lockscreen. I mean, when I toggle WiFi, bluetooth or anything, it asks me to unlock my phone. I don't know if I'm just missing something, I'd just like to be able to toggle settings without having to enter a password / using a fingerprint, then locking the phone back, just to disable WiFi.
Thanks,
Kindly.

Unfortunately having a security option such as pin/fingerprint will stop you from making changes from the lockscreen directly without confirming the change by entering your pin or fingerprint. I'm not sure if there are any mods which would disable this as it is a security feature.
Good Lock

I wasn't aware of its existence ! I've looked into it and I got the same problem. But I think you're right, enabling these settings could be a security flaw.
Thanks anyway
(Sorry, I'm late.)

Update : Funny enough, with the last Nougat update, quick settings are entirely accessible on the lockscreen

Notifications are hidden

HI, can someone point me in the settings where we can show the contents of notification on lock screen? I can't seem to find it

Try settings - security & privacy - face unlock - disable smart lock screen notifications

Settings, app and notifications, notifications manager and 3 dots upper right, you'll find settings for notifications in lock screen

Many thanks for you both. But still notification contents are hidden I am stupidly missing something. I followed both your advice.

following on from this, I disabled face unlock and contents are now visible, I think its a feature if face id is on and the phone is trying to protect the content if somebody else pick up the phone. pretty nice feature. :good::good:
And when i want so see them? 3 dots upper right is activated?
