Use quick settings from lockscreen ? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

[Q] Need input from Llama users about pattern lock.

Can any Llama users advise on how to use Llama to disable pattern lock when I am in "home" area ?
does this require root ?
I added the action "disable screen lock after unlock" when entering "home" area, but the pattern lock is still there.
any other way to achieve this, i just want to keep the pattern lock when outside my safe areas.
thanks
any info from Llama users plz !
seems that using "unlock immediately" option in Llama is working.
the Keyguard unlock option (without notification) through Secure settings also is working.
if notification is on then - when i touch the volume controls while screen is off, then it lights up - which is unnecessary.

i tried and does not work with pattern i think. im N7105 with 4.1.2
i think this is something to do with android o/s.
see this from "unlock with wifi" creator:

Why doesn’t UWW support face unlock, or lock patterns?
A: Because there is no official way to turn off face unlock and lock patterns in Android. It can be done for root users, but UWW does not support root operations at this time.
maybe this will works:

thanks for the info.
if not using the password lock, then the keyguard lock can be disabled by Llama at times.
but with password, it only works rarely.
maybe when i get rooted, then i will try this again.
using llama and Secure Settings, confirmed, the pattern lock will gone when im at home (previously just with llama action, doesnt work). but the no pattern lock stays when im in the office, so maybe need to modify others to use secure settings and enabling pattern lock.
now i want to disable the lockscreen completely, so when i press power mine will go straight to main desktop. i think this is possible too.
I use a numerical pin. To disable it, I use the Llama action "Screen Lock Password" and leave it blank for when I connect to my wifi. I have another event so Llama resets the pin to my desired code when I disconnect from my wifi.

I've had this set up on my phone using Llama for well over a year. It's as simple as installing the Secure Settings plugin and using its "Pattern Lock" action within a Llama event. Mine turns on the pattern lock when I get disconnected from my home Wi-Fi network and turns it back off whenever I am in my "Home" area and am connected to my home Wi-Fi network. (I added the area check just to be sure that someone couldn't easily trick Llama into turning off the pattern lock by setting up a Wi-Fi access point with my home network's SSID.)
I am pretty sure that you need to be rooted, though, because toggling the pattern lock is a privileged action. Whenever Secure Settings toggles my pattern lock, I get a "toast" notification saying root privileges were granted to Secure Settings.

Bypass lock screen 5.0 OTA update

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.

Time on Lock Screen - Team-Exodus for Bacon

Hi,
Sorry if this is a stupid question. I'm on Exodus-5.1-20151016-NIGHTLY-beacon and the time doesn't seem to display on the lock screen anymore. I can't seem to find a setting to enable this I guess I must not be looking in the right place. Any help?
Cheers,
Sean
It should be in Lockscreen Settings / Screen Security

Hi Moto G,
In the Lockscreen Settings / Screen Security I have the following options:
Screen Lock
Directly show PIN entry
Quick unlock
Scramble layout
Automatically lock
Power button instantly locks
Trust agents
Smart lock
There doesn't seem to be anything in those settings that controls the display of the clock?

Sorry I understood you badly. I thought you had lost your Lockscreen, not only the clock. [emoji5]

Ah you were right, I had selected 'directly show PIN entry'.
Thanks for your help.

Secure screen lock needed

I use the fingerprint scanner and pin code to lock screen as usual. But when I unlock the phone through the pin(not the fp scanner) it sometimes pushs a notification that says 'secure screen lock needed'
I tried to change the pin and many other options in the screen lock menu but nothing worked.
What should I do to get rid of this notification?

Is this the message you're getting because it may have to do with Android Pay if you have it on your device.

Hmm...well the icon next to that one is for Google Play Services. Maybe you could just check this link to see if you need an update or something:

Question Disable lock screen?

Sorry if this has already been covered, but it there a way to flip the phone open and have it go directly to the last opened app / home screen while still keeping fingerprints enabled? I understand that the screen lock type can be set to "none" but this also makes me erase my fingerprints / pin. I don't need lock screen security but would like to keep fingerprint authentication for other apps. I tried to change screen lock type to none and then setup my fingerprint within Samsung pay but this just re-enabled the lock screen.
Thanks in advance.
Have a look at "autoinput" on playstore.
