The S6 had option to add the weather on lock screen if you were using the stock S6 widget on your home screen. Can't seem to add that option. Anyone know anything about this?
Thank You, Vinny
Note 5 had it too. I don't see the option on the S7 Edge.
Same here. I can't seem to get weather information in my S7 in lock screen mode. Did Samsung screw it up?
From what I understand, it was removed with the Marshmallow upgrade.
Sad to lose this feature...

Yeah who would want to know the weather from a quick glance at their phone anyway...
This is a great feature and it was stupid to remove it. I was hoping there would be a way to get it back...

I use widgetlocker for a nice custom lockscreen on my Desire and would like to do the same on the TAB but can't get it to remove the similar Samsung lockscreen - when I press the power button or the device times out, I am greeted with the widgetlocker lockscreen and then the Samsung one is underneath?!
I've sent a mail to the developer but wondered if anyone else was using it and had managed to overcome this somehow...
If I hear more from the developer I'll post it here too.
Had the same issue. First time I chose the root bypass of five second thing, it got rid of the stock lockscreen, but after a reboot it came back reguardless of what I do

Kevin the developer got back to my email. All you need to do is go to Buttons and Inputs and select Easy Wake Mode. I've done that and the Samsung one doesn't come up
LockScreen Doesnt Appear FullScreen
I have purchased and Install WidgetLocker on my Galaxy Tab.
But the lockscreen does not appear in full screen, guess it is shrt of 1 row
Any Idea how to fix it? Attached pic for your reference (Please focus Towards the right side of the screen)
You can take a screenshot of the tab by pressing back + power. That picture is huuuuuuuge.

Sorry just notice the trick to capture a screenshot. By the way any chance to get the problem fixed?
it might be cause by the broken image of the 'bar' inside the apk. so far all the version of widgetlocker i use on my tab did not have this problem.

I have reinstall it but the problem is still there when I used rotary or Sense UI lockscreen. Appreciate some answer.
Is it because I'm using launcherProPlus with my SGT? An my Tab is not rooted, is it because of that?
I have wigetlocker on my tab and looks and works fine. I haven't had any problems with it.
Rahuldave-
Same issue here...emailed dev, said he was working on update for the Tab. FYI

Thought I'm alone. I have got reply from Kevin TeslaCoil mentioning the same. Thanks
Also still having some issues myself. Rooted with z4root and checked easy wake mode but i occasionally get a message saying widgetlocker has been given superuser access and then the stock lockscreen will show up again when i next turn the screen off and on again. It'll be fine then for a couple of hours and then do it again. Hopefully the dev will get to the bottom of this. Might fire him a quick email again.

So I've had the Note edge for about a week now. Now all of a sudden when I'm in the messaging app or eBay or most any other app. If I accidentally activate the edge screen it will not go away unless I exit the app I'm using and reopen the app. I have the Samsung wallet case I don't know if that may have something to do with it I didn't notice it before the case. Why is there not a setting to time it out. JUST AS I TYPED THIS I GOT A NOTIFICATION AND THE DAMN SCREEN WILL NOT GO AWAY. Anyone else having this issue or how can I fix it. I may just trade it for the note 4 if I can't resolve this.

There is a time out setting for the edge panel.
But what launcher are you using and have you tried removing the case and seeing if it happens.
Also what notification is it?
What launcher? What is that? Also I have not tried to remove the case and it does it in any notification or if I accidentally bring up the edge screen. and where is the time out setting

Since your unsure I would say it's the stock one.
And the settings are under
Settings > edge panel > information stream > time out.
if that doesn't work you can try to go into
Manage application and find cocktail and clear the default.
It will ease your edge panel settings

I just did that and it's still doing it. I don't know what to do. Also does anyone know how to get rid of the annoying call time while I'm on the phone and doing something else in another app? It is always in the way

Move it out of your way.
There should be an option to remove it. That's stupid to have to move a box around the screen. I have been able to swipe it a few times and take it off the screen but I cannot figure out exactly how I did it. Also problem resolved on my other problem I had to factory reset. not a good sign after I've only had the phone a week.
on the note edge on caller settings i was able to disable the pop up caller id when someone called and i was in an app.
i cant find that setting on the note 5.
how can i get full screen call notifications instead of that pop up that takes like 20 percent of the screen?
thanks.
I'm in the same boat.
Can't figure it out.

I used to love that feature on my Note 3 and Note 4 --- Even the S6 Edge+ which I have now is missing that feature.
Have a great evening.
Did anyone ever figure out a mod for this?
I hope the bring back the feature in MM.
Did any ever find a fix for this.
I wonder if MM update will address the issue.

Does anyone know if Marshmallow addressed this issue?
Some of the toggles Don't work from the lock screen. For example, the flashlight toggle does work but the WiFi, Bluetooth, and NFC toggles only work if I unlock the phone. It's pointless to have those toggles appear in the pull down shade if they don't work.
Is this how all Galaxy models work? This is my first Samsung Android phone so pardon the question is this is obvious to others.

This is a Good Thing. It's a LOCK screen. Anything that changes the device SHOULD be locked out until you get past the lock screen (and whatever security you have in place.)

I asked because this is the first Android device I've had that behaves this way. My Nexus and Sony devices allow toggling those functions from the lock screen. While I appreciate your opinion I'm interested to know if this is a Samsung feature and if there's a way to change it.

This is also the first I've had that does this - including a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 (still on lollipop.) It always annoyed me that I had my screen locked with a fingerprint, but anyone could toggle wifi, bluetooth, NFC, and all kinds of other things that impact functionality when my device is supposed to be locked.
This might be something in android 6, or it might be something Samsung is doing for android 6. (I don't have another device with MM, so I can't answer that.)
Edit: one interesting thing is that you CAN turn off wifi,etc from the lock screen pull down IF you don't have a secure lock screen (or if the lock screen is bypassed via smart lock.)

Maybe that's it, I use the fingerprint lock. I am able to work around it by using PowerToggles but it seems redundant to add toggles to a lock screen that already has toggles. Oh well, at least I can do it.
For my work I am constantly turning flight mode on and off, prior to OS update last night, I could toggle flight mode while screen locked. Now when I toggle it on or off, it asks for my finger print/ code, which is very annoying, as I don't want to unlock phone, and I have to re-lock it, even more annoying. Why the change? And how do I get it back to toggle it while locked?
Sorry to reopen this but there is any solution to this?On my wife´s s6 edge plus with latest android 7.0 can on/off toggles without asking about fingerprint/code...

If you are rooted, you can edit the toggles with something like GravityBox (be warned though, Samsung devices don't like when certain SystemUI items are removed or blocked). For some reason, you HAVE to have a minimum number of toggles on 6.0 Samsung phones. You can't remove all of them, but you can change the order in which they appear. I can confirm I can toggle WiFi and etc from my lock screen as well. Though I don't really have an issue with it as I rarely keep anything worth something to me or anyone else on my devices. I don't even have bank accounts or credit cards linked to any device so this really doesn't bother me. I figure if you can lock and or erase your device remotely, if it goes missing, that's good enough for me.
the setting you are looking for is on my S8 in Settings / secure lock settings / lock Network ans security
this allows you to either enable or disable flight mode on the lockscreen
I forgot my password
To recover my password, I have a Samsung account and a Google Account, but I can not connect to Wi-Fi or Data.
Every time I try to turn on Wi-Fi or data, Samsung asks for my password.
How can I turn on Wi-Fi or my data?

I cannot screen grab it, but I cannot figure out either what this is, or how to stop it. When I resume the device from being locked, and attempt to input my fingerprint, sometimes, iit will show a bunch of notifications in a screen that resembles the drop down menu. I can"clear all", and then, swipe up, and use the fingerprint sensor on the 2ndary screen(I can either fingerprint or put in my pin).
Does anyone possibly know what this is, and how to rid myself of it? It must be some kind of new feature, because i never had this on my note 8.??
Much appreciated for any help or suggestions..

Have you got Samsung Good Lock, installed ...?
In particular Samsung " Notistar " thats included in Good lock or maybe you side loaded" Notistar" ( module/app ) it .?
if you look in the Notistar settings ( top right, 3 dots menu),you will see "Using in lock screen enabled " most likely grayed out?
It happened to me a few times ,but i managed to figure it out !
Otherwise if you can uninstall module or disable etc and test
Good luck

Yes I do have both the gods lock and the NotiStar enabled. And I also did as you stated and turned that iron off. I may just uninstall that module all together?
Many many thanks!

Good lock... no you don't have to uninstall.
Notistar.... not necessarily..
As stated i was also puzzled, as to what was causing this issue. Luckily, i recognized that it was Notistar, as it had that same transparent layer background, if you launched Notistar manually.
I still have Notistar even though I hardly use it.
I been using, another app.. similar, called Notification History Log (Play Store) the paid version.
What i did was, to turn off my lockscreen notifications.
This is my own preference, as i don't prefer
lockscreen notifications, as my Note 10 +is set to facial
recognition, plus i have Google smart unlock enabled.
eg. Samsung Gear S3 watch, car radio etc. is all set to smart unlock.
Plus, i use double tap from sleep.
So i don't even see a lockscreen.
Why then keep notifications for a lockscreen.?
Also in Device /Settings /Apps /Notistar i have permission to appear on top /over apps turned off.
I have created a Nova Prime gesture shortcut for Notistar if i want to see it.
Good luck
You know, lol, this phone is strange in its notifications. It is taking a while to get used toit from my note 8(maybe I'm just getting old). I Ihad this issue, and then I had an issue with this strange beeping whenI was connected-to my home network, So this note is taking some time to work out the bugs.
Anyhow though, for now, because of that, Iam just going to KISS principal the Notistar. Lol!
Thank you tons though!
