Don't have a Samsung galaxy S4 but want something similar to quick glance? A decent app to try is Proximity actions. Been using it a couple days on my Gnex and has proved to be very useful. I use it to unlock my phone without touching the phone by waving over the proximity sensor and it also opens notifications bar automatically (using open notifications app). You can set four commands for screen on and screen off actions each so it is pretty customizing.

Thanks for the tip, works well.
I just discovered, after setting smart lock with both trusted face and place, that if I lock the screen using an app (LockScreen for example, which I have set as a Nova shortcut), when I turn my screen back on smart lock will not work...
The same happens if I use the Greenify hibernate + lock screen shortcut. Has anyone had the same problem and found a workaround? I'm really used to lock the screen with a shortcut but I'd also like to use smart lock
Thanks in advance!

You're manually locking the phone which over rides the smart lock functionality. No work around at this time, that I know of.
Hey guys, I just got a Note Edge (loving it btw) and was wondering if there are any lock screen replacements with decent notification features (like Snaplock) that also allows unlocking by fingerprint? I quite like the look of the normal TouchWiz lock screen so something like the DashClock Widget would be perfect since it adds notifications by way of widgets instead of a whole lock screen replacement but I just found out that TouchWiz doesn't allow widgets on the lock screen apart from the default digital clock. Can someone offer some suggestions? Either a lock screen replacement that allows fingerprint scanning or some way to allow widgets on the lock screen after I root it. Thanks a lot!
Go setting....lock screen...under screen lock select finger print.

It's already built into the phone and works great for me. I also like how when using PayPal you can swipe your fingerprint to pay. Can't wait till you can lock different apps with the fingerprint, this would be super useful.

Sorry, maybe I didn't explain properly. I've already registered 3 fingerprints and they work quite well in the lock screen (a lot better than what I had read from some accounts prior to purchasing the phone). What I would like is to have notifications on my lock screen like what you'd get on an iPhone or through lock screen replacements like Snaplock or Next Lock Screen. The problem is, when I turn on one of these lock screen replacements in the settings, I get two lock screens. First the replacement lock screen appears with all the notifications and then after unlocking that through either swiping/pattern/pin (they don't support fingerprints), I get the system lock screen which allows me to use my fingerprint. Of course, I can just turn off the system lock screen but like I said, the other lock screen replacements like Snaplock or Next don't support fingerprints.

How can u set up paypal?
With the upgrade to Lollipop, you can now get notifications to show on the lock screen (Settings > Device > Sound and Notifications). Unfortunately, Samsung doesn't allow widgets to be used on the secure (fingerprint, PIN, pass, etc.) lock screens, so I am unable to put a weather widget on my lock screen. And since I have a corporate Exchange email account set up on my phone i can't opt-out of using a secure lock screen.
Like all of the other unfortunate AT&T customers that purchased a Note Edge, I got screwed over without the ability to root my device. I would really like to set my phone up the way I want it, as it should be.
And while i'm *****ing, why can't Samsung set up one of their Edge panels (briefing maybe?) to wake the edge screen and display notifications for SMS messages? Am I missing something, or wouldn't that be an ideal function to have with the edge screen? It's nice that they will allow sms notifications on the main lock screen now via lollipop, but why not put them on the edge screen where they should be on a device such as this?
If i'm missing something and there are ways to resolve my two complains please feel free to fill me in.

Thanks for that. I'm still trying to get my phone to update to Lollipop so maybe that will solve everything. I have a factory unlocked phone bought in Australia so from what I read, the update should've rolled out ages ago but it never seems to see it. Anyways, I'm downloading the update manually now via sammobile so let's see!

Totally agree with you. Even if we don't get whole text messages scrolled across the Edge screen, at least light up a few pixels there to show us there that there are notifications waiting. I have a cover that doesn't allow me to see the notification light next to the logo but has a slit cut out for the Edge so that would be perfect.
Hello Everyone, I'm having a strange issue with the flashlight widget on the Galaxy S5 Active (Model SM-G870A, Android 5.0, Baseband G870AUCU2BOF3), wanting to know if anyone else had/has these problems or if any of you know a solution.
FlashLight Issue
Basically I put the widget for the stock flashlight on my home page, it works just fine, but I noticed that the pull down notification labeled "Flashlight turned on - Tap here to turn off Flashlight." doesn't... turn it off! When pressed from the lock screen (and once the lock code is entered) It simply unlocks the phone to wherever you were. If its pressed in an app, it simply swipes the notification tab back up. The main reason this is annoying is because having the ability to toggle the light from the lock screen could be very handy instead of entering my lock code again to turn it off.
Background Issue
The issue here is at seemingly random times, my wallpaper on the lock screen will appear heavily warped or distorted, usually vertically, until i unlock the phone. Its not so much an issue as it is an annoyance. If anyone has information on this issue or have a solution, let me know.
Anyone know of an app, magisk or Xposed module that will allow gestures on the lock screen? If you ever had a Oneplus device you already understand what I am looking for. Flashlight by drawing a V. Change music tracks by drawing a sideways V in either direction. Thanks.
