Hi guys
New to the forum.
I have been playing around with my car Bluetooth audio, trying to pair it up (was a nightmare). However I have noticed now that I have a second kind of lock screen? It's the little lock button on the bottom of the screen.
This stops me from using my finger print unless I swipe up to unlock, the first screen? To then gain access to Samsung's lock screen? It's so annoying! Can anyone tell me what it is and how I remove?
Thanks in advance

That is just an annoying aspect of the operating system. I hate it but there is no way to remove it.
I had same problem, the only way I could find to remove was to disable smart lock in settings.

i´ve seen the isteam iphone app on youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLus3gTLT2c&feature=PlayList&p=7994059EEA6E9EE0&index=6
is there a similar app for wm6-phones??
i think it would be a great screenlock app?!
This comes close to iBeer in terms of usefulness!
and it's not a locking app, AFAIK, it is just an app that will let you blow in the mic to build steam, and then does what's in the youtube video
i know that´s not a locking app. but it could be used as an app to lock the screen...

This app looks cool, but imagine you need to 'lock' the phone by blowing into the mic... I wonder how it looks on a crowded train.
I think pressing a button for s2u2 is faster than blowing into the mic + the screen will remain lock until I disable it, rather than the steam wears off slowly or accidentally shake it hard.

This looks pretty cool, but imagine having to wipe every pixel on the screen to unlock.
thats tedious. another massive waste of crap from the appstore
what's up everyone, put smooth maximus on my sidekick about a week ago and it's been treating me great.
i've been interested in making the phone ONLY use landscape mode, which is possible through the "orientation control" app for our devices. only thing that annoys me about using this apk is that the lockscreen will still fall into portrait mode, and every time you slide the screen up to access the keyboard the screen 'reloads' itself.
i'm a little bit particular with the way my phone runs, and i'm wondering if there is any way to mod the phone to prevent it from reloading the screen when it slides open and whether it is possible to force the lockscreen into portrait.
thanks in advance for the help guys

are you saying that it wont open in landscape even when your holding it that way?
no, it will open in landscape. but the lockscreen is never disabled from portrait mode, and whenever the screen is slid up (even when already in landscape mode) the screen will blink for a second and seemingly reload whatever i'm doing on the phone.

That's odd, iv never had that happen with the stock lockscreen, only with lockscreen replacement apps.

Go into settings and enable auto rotation after you have enabled landscape mode lock with Orientation Control.
That will resolve the issue.

uhhhh, did you read my post? don't tell me to "try reading" when you don't have a grasp of what i'm asking. when did i say anything about not understanding how to use orientation control? i'm asking questions about the lockscreen and about the phone doing this reloading when the keyboard is opened. step off the high horse and learn to read before pompously telling others to...

well this phone was made to be nearly always used in landscape.
Android forces the phone the reload the screen resources with a hinge change. This cannot be changed. Additionally, this can be a source of memory leaks if you write quick and dirty code with globals...
I don't know of any version or mod of the Android OS that does not refresh the screen with a hinge change.
This refresh happens everytime you open and close your device. You only notice it on the lockscreen.

use smart cover application, it's also available in Google Play.
i'm using that app now, when i close my case, it will lock and turn off screen and when i open my case it will turn on screen.
but some disadvantages is that when my finger anccidently close the proximity sensor when playing games, it will turn off screen

I think Pocket Locker android app good for you.

None of these apps show on my market.
Much better than these uncontrollable apps it's with Tasker if available:

Hey guys, I've an Advent Vega, and would love if I could find a way to use the front camera to activate the screen when passing?
I'd leave it plugged in by the door, so as I'm leaving/coming home I can see the weather forecast and any tasks or emails waiting for me.
Any ideas guys n gals?

Use smart screen on/off app.. It uses proximity sensor to lock or unlock device.. you can probably Swype your hand at the sensor n unlock it..
Sent from my fingers to your face using xda premium.!
That's aaalmost what would be ideal... just... i'd like it to be from the camera... for instance when I turn the coridor light on when I get home, or walk past it, so I can take a quick look passively without having to interact.
Anybody else got a suggestion? Maybe something paired with Tasker somehow?

One thing you must know if that your front camera cannot sense your motion or anything.. no hardware support for it.. It's just like how your eyes cannot detect smell..
At the max you can make use of your proximity sensor for that purpose..

Yes, I'm just wondering if there's a way to do it with a 3rd party app. Something that would keep the front camera turned on or take photos every second, and then continually process images for motion detection. Once detected, it would then activate the screen.

Awesome!
That's almost exactly what I'm looking for!
Coolness... now my old tablet can sit by the door and remind my pathetic brain of what I need to do (or what my gf has added to the calendar more than likely), give me a quick glance of recent emails, and show me the weather forecast so I don't get soaked .
Thanks for finding that!

You could also keep another smartphone on your person and have the two devices paired and set the phone left at home to wake up when the paired device comes within range.

I'm not certain, regardless of the setup you use, you need to be aware that nothing will work to do this if the device that you want to wake is in sleep mode or if the device has a screen lock enabled, no matter what you do. You'd have to permanently disable your pass/pin/pattern lock on the device that you want to wake remotely so that the device can stay in a state where it can detect the paired device when it approaches. You would still need to unlock the "normal" lockscreen that would normally require you to swipe the screen, but there is an option that automatically unlocks the screen when a paired "trusted device" is detected.
There are some options available that can wake the device when a paired device is detected, provided that the device to be woken is not in deep sleep or has a pass/pin/pattern lock enabled. Combine that with the "trusted device" option and it should do what you want and none of it should require root.
There is also a more complicated method to have the device set to wake when the paired device comes in range, but it requires writing some code and implementing the code on the device. But I think there is a way to do this with just enabling/disabling some settings, pairing the devices and setting the paired device that you will keep with you as the "trusted device", either via built in settings(if the device has them) or by installing an app that lets you connect the device as a "trusted device".
What is the android version on the device that you want to wake up remotely?
The tablet is TB-X606F on android 10 and my phone is on 12. I have disabled all kinds of screen lock, even the swip, so as soon and you press the unlock button you are presented straight away with the desktop. I can't though see any options around unlocking when paired, I'm going to put Tasker on the tablet and see if there is any options for screen unlock when in range and screen off when not in range. Failing that whole idea, all I can think of is using Flux to dim the screen to 0 when I turn the living room lights off at night effectively rendering the screen off at nighttimes?
Ever sincec I got my LG G3 Stylus, I've got this issue that keeps bothering me a lot. I've searched the net, the phone's configs and etc and got nothing.
Since the phone is on warranty still, I decided not to root it yet (doesn't give me a lot of advantages doing so)
However, whenever I'm using the phone to do stuff, be it watching a video on youtube app, using facebook app, or any other app for instance, sometimes I accidentally touch the screen with my fingers or arm, and it locks. Like a screen lock that happens when you press the lock button behind it. I've searched in every option available on the phone and didn't find anything that could turn out to be a screen lock shortcut or something similar.
Anyone have an Idea what might be triggering the screen lock?

I'm not entirely sure how is that post related to my issue, they report that their phones are stuck on the logo, while I'm having issues with random screen locks (probably a touch shortcut)
