[Q] Lollipop Lockscreen - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
On my nexus 5 I always remove the Lockscreen.
Yesterday I updated to lollipop, so i deactivated the lockscreen but when I changed the user, just for a try, automatically my nexus changed the lockscreen and now i've not the option in the setting to set it off.
How can I do?

just enter guest profile. go to profiles -> remove guest. you should go back to your default profile and have the option enabled again. worked for me.

when phone is charging on lock screen not showing how much time left from full charge. Do you know why?

New features in 4.3 and Sense 5.5

I have found a list with new features for the One here. Mostly all apply for the One mini.
New things:
Do Not Disturb, very cool thing that simply sets phone in Do No Disturb mode. You can set for how long and who/to be excluded from it. Turns of sound, notifications and all such things that might disturb. Accessed for the pull down quick settings menu.
Gallery have changed a lot. Albums now have a tiled look much like events, and you can now see your HTC Shares and even delete those (and see how much space there's left there). Video highlights got all new themes, and you can even add your own music.
In Camera Sweep Panorama can now be both landscape or portrait. Camera UI changed a bit, you see text Zoe under the Zoe button. And when you start Camera you see how many photos and minutes video there's left on the phone's storage.
With screen lock active, swipe to the left in the upper right part of the screen. Then you get a + sign where you can add screen lock widgets.
Under Call in Settings you have Phone Notification Preview, which shows you caller ID missed calls on screen lock and status bar.
If you don't want both lock screen and security screen you can disable screen lock (you need a security lock first) under Settings > Security > Bypass lock screen on wake.
Select what kind of notifications you want on lock screen under Settings > Security > Notification Settings. You can select: Phone (shows missing calls), Voice mail, Text messages, Emails and Calendar.
Select if you want Music playback controls on not on your lock screen under Settings > Security > Music Playback
With Developer options active, option Stay awake is now back. Which keeps the display on while charging.
Pull down quick settings menu can now be customized, with up to 12 quick settings.
In Weather app you can now select temperature scale under Settings.
You can add your Google+ account in Blinkfeed.
Disable Blinkfeed by long pressing empty area of a regular screen, then tapping “Blinkfeed on” on the upper left hand corner. Which turns Blinkfeed off.
Under Sleep mode in Settings > Power, you can now set start and end of Sleep mode or have it set as Auto.
With phone turned off: alarms can now turn phone on, then trigger the alarm. And when you dismiss the alarm phone gets turned back to its previous state (off), this is a major thing.
Zoom-bar in camera is hidden, you pinch-zoom to control zooming (zoom-bar is shown when you pinch-zoom).
Connect charger to phone while it's off while show a charging “animation” on the display for a while.
Things different from Sense 5.0, things that are “missing”:
Screen lock option gone from Personalize, there is no settings for any kind of screen lock theme under Settings. You can’t set screen lock theme to “none”, and there is no way to set wallpaper for lock screen since screen lock themes are gone.
T9 layout gone from stock keyboard.
Known bugs:
With Animations turned OFF under Developer options, Share menus and things will simply not work. It affects more than just one thing, so: keep animations ON. So, if you're affected: Set all Animations to 1 and restart phone (that part is important).
In lock screen you can add some widget: swipe to left and click + icon
You can also "personalize" lock screen from settings/security/notification but just for missing calls and sms !
With Sense 5 you can set also email and calendar, the ones that now I miss !!!!
Edit: after some test I'm really disappointed that even with missing calls and SMS notification active they don't came on lock screen but only in notification bar, so this is also a bug !

Oh no! These are two of the features I enjoy most! So, no more weather animations on screen lock at all???

You can still put widgets on lock screen, while on lockscreen swipe to the left in the right top corner. There's also a small arrow, press on the "+" and add a widget but I think it's not possible anymore to add it on the main lockscreen :/ yea I miss a notification system like Apple has. Google should built it in, in android and give the devs the option to add it into there apps like Apple do

Hi,
I'm back to screen lock bug notification win Sense 5.5...
To be sure of this bug, before I contact htc support, can someone do a test ?
It's easy: set the notification for Text Message, go screen off and ask a friend to send a sms to you; when received wakeup screen and check notification if it is only in notification bar or also in lock screen...
Thanks.
Confirmed that text & missed call notiications don't show on lockscreen.
Also, I can only add 1 lockscreen widget it seems - once added, swiping to left again does nothing. Is this by design?
Thanks for confirming the lock screen notifications bug...
Yes, I think only one widget is by design (the widget can occupy all the screen...)

But then can't add any more widget screens to the right? That really sucks. It's always 1 step forward, 2 steps back with HTC ...
Maybe I didn't understood...
In lock screen you can add only 1 widget, but in normal screen you can have many pages with a lot's of widgets...
bug with log screen confirmed, regardless, disabled or enabled in security settings, I can not see notifications for missed calls or messages on lock screen. Can we install some app from the market in order to fix this issue (while waiting for HTC to fix it)?
Another nice new feature is the option to adjust the Automatic Brightness setting - can now set the maximum brightness value, works a bit like iOS.
Also the Music Player widgets now have a blue circle around the play icon to indicate duration of track remaining.
Anyone else finding that the Airplane widget takes you to settings now, instead of toggling Airplane mode? I'm no longer getting the rolling Airplane animation.

I confirm, it also takes me to settings. As a solution you can set airplane mode in the notification bar toggles.

Hi! I am confirming the bug with missing notifications on lock screen on my One Mini. HTC support had no knowledge about this bug. Are there any work-arounds to get notifications on lock screen? All apps I have found can show notifications on second (swipe right) lock screen only and it does not work for me.
I do not have this bug on my HTC One (not mini) with same Sense version.
Regards!
In gallery, i can :
- make gif from my video
- apply custom effect
---------- Post added at 06:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:02 AM ----------
But somehow, i never can display my gallery content in blinkfeed. Any solution?
For lockscreen notifications i use Nils new floating panel. Really best solution so far. Its still in Beta but working great
Gesendet von meinem HTC One mini mit Tapatalk 4
I have only 'Phone calls' and 'Text Message' in the security -> notifications. No emails / calendar.
Also wondering if I'm the only one who's music is suddenly stuttering every now and then since 4.3 (more an Android 4.3 thing than a Sense 5.5 thing I guess)

I can confirm this. On BT the music is hanging randomly, this is very annoying. If it's the same with cable, then this is a huge bug.
Reading here there seem to be a lot of down sides to the new 4.3 update. that or it's still in it's early stages of development? I'm still using 4.2.2 and loving it, but was wondering if there was anything major I'm missing by not upgrading?

This is enough for me for an upgrade :good: :good:

Lock screen replacement on CM12

I've been running CM12 for a while now and the only thing I dislike about Lolipop is the lock screen. I really miss widgets and apps on my lock screen. I installed C Locker (Pro) which I had used on a different phone running KK and it works much better now on Lolipop. It is very customizable, I am using transparent clock/weather widget, calendar widget (Scrollable) and a number of app shortcuts. The only gotcha was I had to delete the Android guest account otherwise when I would unlock it would go to the Lolipop lock screen. You can setup up a lot of gesture actions, and click on the lock button turns the phone back off. Mine is probably gaudy and way too colorful for most but that's how I like it

I couldn't remember exactly so I went through it again
1- Switch user to the guest user in settings (have to go through initial setup for the guest user, I skipped everything I could in the setup process)
2- then go to back into the users in settings
3- instead of choosing your main user account to switch back to, select "remove Guest"
At this point, it switched me back to my original user, but the touch screen is not responsive
Pull battery and replace
once rebooted, go into C Locker, turn it off and then back on.
Then everything works fine.
The guest user will still show up in users, I guess it recreates it.
Hope this helps...

Thanks a lot for your quick reply but i found another way to disable it In Clocker ->Security->turn off default lock screen.. and you are done with it. But in this case you will miss out those beautiful floating notifications on lock screen.

Android 7.1 / Lineage 14.1 lockscreen settings

Hi. Yesterday upgraded VZW Galaxy S5 (SM-G900V) to lineage 14.1. Overall quite pleased with it. But it's missing some critical security / lockscreen setting in the GUI.
Specifically lockscreen delay time value + toggle for power button to lock. or not lock By default power button locks and timer is set to min or 2. I need to adjust these settings. Preferably 30 min delay and no lock on power button.
Look around on play store for app to give me back these familiar settings from my stock VZW android 5. Didn't find any.
Does anyone know an app that can do this and/or the appropriate terminal commands to adjust these settings? (I use pin security option)
Thanks!

A few bugs/problems.

Screen lock bug
Whenever I swipe down from the top of the screen to where my notifications are. I can't toggle WiFi, Bluetooth, auto rotate, etc without it locking my screen after I press it. I am however able to use screenshot and record, and I'm not sure what other toggles do it.
Developer options bug
I'm not sure what causes it, but every few days, the "show taps" that I always have enabled gets disabled and I have to re-enable it.
Honor theme editor bug
For the most part, it works. But after I create the new theme and apply it. I only have a few of the button icons I chose (home button, back button, etc)
Wallpaper bug
Again, I'm not sure what causes this, but every once in awhile, my wallpaper of my phone changes (I use Next Launcher, but I'm pretty sure it started before I installed it)
I think I'm missing 1 or maybe 2, but I can't think of them at the moment.
Please and thank you for your time.

Whenever I push any of the toggle buttons, they work. But a lot of them lock my screen after I press them and I need to re unlock my phone.

After you unlock the Android developer options.
There's an option you can enable to show a white circle each time you touch the screen. And it somehow gets disabled after awhile. Never had this problem on other phones.

I set my background of my phone from a picture from gallery. But sometimes the background pic gets set back to default for no reason.

So there's no way to fix the screen lock? Cuz it's kinda annoying that I have to turn the phone screen on again just cuz I enable/disable WiFi, Bluetooth, auto rotate, etc

Always on Display doesn't show notifications on screen

Hello guys. Yeasterday I was testing some security lockscreen configuration on my phone and after that, AOD is no working propperly anymore. It doesn´t show the notification icons (gmail, whatsapp, etc) nor the songs I'm listening on spotify.
I figured out that when I change back the lockscreen type from "none" to "pin" or other security method notifications show up again, but it's pretty annoying since I don't require high security to unlock my phone.
Is there a way to get back to where I was? I mean, I had notification perfectly working on AOD with zero secutity measures before.
I tried clearing AOD data from Apps, but the problem remains.
Thanks.
P.S. Stock ROM with Root.
I found the solution. I just have to go to: settings > lockscreen and security > and to allow SWIPE en lockscreen type.
