Hi all, one new annoying feature that VZW added to the 5.0 update was removing "Bypass lock screen on wake" from the security settings. Now when I check the security settings I see the option greyed out (screenshot below). Anyone know a way around this? The two-step unlocking is really annoying.
screenshot missing. What are the two steps? Turn on, unlock? Personally I want the lock since my phone has so much personal data on it.
If you need bypass for calling, there is that option in the swipe down motion gesture settings.

Posted this in the LG section but have since rid of that phone for the S6.
I'm hoping to find a way to disable the lock screen when i'm at home or another trusted area, without the need for unnecessary GPS/Location usage as with what the 'smart lock' option demands. Also, without having to root the device.
On my S4 widgetsoid did this brilliantly right from the notification panel and it would coincide with the device locking features that were set.
For instance. Whenever i was home I'd disable by tapping the padlock icon. Then if i went out I'd just tap it again to enable it. If I forgot to enable it, the set time limit for the locking options would take control and eventually automatically lock the device on it's own.
Is there anything available like this? Widgetsoid needs system access for this feature to work now.
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
How can i disable access quick settings when device in lock screen like this pict?
S8+. Oreo. April security patch.
Wondering the same thing, I have not seen a way to do it.
Hi,
i'm on OOS 5.1.6 with unlocked bootlader, official TWRP, and root via Magisk, also got xposed and a few modules (greenify being one of them).
Now the noob silly part: how comes that even if i set fingerprint security for lockscreen (with PIN security behind), if i turn off the screen via power button, and then wake it up (after more than 5secs!) with button again, i am presented with a lockscreen with no security and i can simply swipe up the lock icon and enter the phone?
I'm for sure missing something really obvious here, OR one of my modules (GB, Greenify) might interfere with the security?
Just to be clear: fingerprint unlocking WORKS flawlessly, but if i use the button it just shows the small lock icon that i can simply swipe-up.
Thanks!
Maybe you have enabled face unlock?
Do you have smart lock on? Trusted place or similar, smart watch etc. If one of those are on, it will let you unlock just with a swipe.
And the default time for this lock is 5 sec, see the settings icon right of display lock in settings - security
Thanks guys, i had for some reason Smart Lock enabled, and specifically trusted places (Home) taken from Google Maps. I could not disable it (well i could, but it reverted back as active) until i found under 'Trust Agents' Smart Lock (Google) and disabled it.
Weird.
I've only recently come across from Samsung so I don't know if this is normal or not.
On my Pixel 7 Pro, when the phone is locked, I can still swipe down the quick settings tiles and use them without unlocking.
I can switch off Bluetooth, wifi, auto rotate, I can even open Google Wallet but that obviously needs a password to pay.
Is there a simple way to disable quick settings from lock screen?
