I am trying to get the weather to display on my lock screen. It says "To view weather information on the lock screen, add the Samsung Weather widget to the home screen." I cant find this. Can someone explain how to get the weather on my lockscreen please?

I use Nova Launcher and find the Samsung weather widget doesn't show up there. If you switch to TouchWiz your can find the widget and add it there, then it will show up on the lock screen. I'm not sure if it will update properly though, I never see it because I forget to swipe over to it. Seems to me it might not be updating once you go back to Nova.

Nope, it's just called Weather.

Mine works. Nothing special, just weather as well.
I'm on Verizon with my S8+. Did they disable this setting because I can't add weather to my lock screen.

Yes mine is a Verizon S8+, and I am on Tmobile, but I flashed the Canadian firmware on it
I am also unable to add this. Was anyone able to add theirs?
I use the elecont weather app: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0058EBNAO/ref=mas_ya_dp
Shows two rows on the lock screen with one row for this weeks' daily weather and the second row for next week. I didn't do anything odd just set up the nav bar display on pull down to show the same thing.
I'm using Nova Launcher.
I have the unlocked US version and the option to add the weather to the lock screen is not there, same as the Verizon users.
If anyone that has this option for having weather on the lockscreen and is rooted, is there a possibility that I could get a copy of your csc_features.xml. I am seeing if I can get this feature added to the US variants. Thanks in advance.

Just wondering what you guys have set as your lockscreen? Im currently using the Clock, as I found the weather app to get annoying after a while, cool for the first few times though
How about you guys?
I'm using the weather lockscreen and I don't think I'll get tired of it any time soon

Well if you click personalize, then weather you can have it show, clocks, friendstream and a few other things

I think he meant if it's possible to show weather forecast on the lockscreen, not just the current weather and temperature when using the weather lockscreen.
I actually meant if its possible to have another city show besides weather keep polling for your current location.
Close enough
And it seems like you can only have your current location displayed.

If you go into the weather settings, you can tell it which location is your "current" location and that would be the one showing up. I tested this with Paris, France and my other locations are home, work, and mom's cities.

Using the clock one with the really technical looking clock. It's beautiful, but deep down inside I hate it because it means on the lock screen the time is displayed three times. It's in the status bar, it's above the clock widget, and then of course the clock widget itself.
None of the above, don't like lock screen.
I'm using an app called No Lock, which by pass the lock screen and goes straight to home screen.
Im calling BS on being able to change the weather lockscreen to show anything but the current weather... looked and looked, I see no setting. Now I understand you can change the Clock widget on the homescreen to show different widgets, but not the lockscreen.
Somebody please prove me wrong, and give me a step by step....

Appointments on Lock Screen
Instead of showing weather, I would rather have appointments showing on the lock screen so that one can easily know what is the next appointment without unlocking the device (just like s2u2 does it). Any genius knows how to do that?
Hi all, I just got my nexus 5 and right after I updated my system to Android 4.4.2, I tried to add widgets to the lockscreen, but it just doesn't work. I know you have to enable widgets under security in the settings and I did that. I just can't swipe left on the lockscreen to get that plus sign. Also dashclock doesn't work. Help! Any idea is much appreciated.

I find that I have to really swipe from the edge of the screen, some cases may prevent this or make it difficult.

Oh my god thank you so much! I didn't realize that... I had a case on so that explains... Yes i totally agree we are to really swipe from the edge. Thank you so much!
You have to expand the widget first. Just drag the clock widget downwards. When its expanded, try swiping your screen. It should work.

Word/Text clock lockscreen widget ?
Is there such a widget for a lockscreen, which would display a clock / time written in words ?? Like the clock face one on Pebble smart watch, for example?!
Example, the time is 5:36 and on the widget it would be displayed as "five thirty six" !
Thanks

Of course. Just search for "text clock widget".
I asked on another forum, but the advice given doesn't work on my phone. I want to remove the lock screen circle widget with the date and time, but it doesn't budge. It won't swipe up or down at all. It only has a side to side rocking animation and there's no way to get rid of it. Am I stuck with this this ruining my lock screen wallpaper?

Go into Settings > Lock screen and enable "Widgets". This will allow you to swipe to the left and add a new clock widget. Once you have one, you can swipe up and remove the default Circle clock.

Are you trying to disable widgets after you set it? You have to keep the widgets setting enabled to use the custom clock.
No...I've left it enabled.
Looks to me they are pretty much forcing us to have a clock widget on the lock screen.
Do you have the quick circle case setting enabled? Under General settings?

On the lock screen, long press the circle clock and drag it to the top to remove. Then click the plus sign on the screen to add the widget of your choice. Hope this helps.
Any update on this, as of 10L the methods above don't seem to work, if I remove the clock I have to set another widget in it's place and I don't want that. I simply want to remove the clock all together as I don't need it.
Has anyone found a way to remove the clock (I am rooted btw)?

I use the XPosed Module G3 Tweaksbox which has a lot of tweaks available. While I don't see one currently to remove the stock circle clock on the lock screen, I suspect the developer of the module might be able to add it. You might want to reach out to him and see if it is something he can do. There is a link to the module's thread in my signature.
EDIT - I found another solution in the G3 Tweaksbox thread..... I tried it and it works just fine. No root needed.

Download blankwidget from the playstore, go to lockscreen and swipe right to add widgets. Add the blank widget and then swipe back to the circle one. Press and hold and then remove it

I think you were not using a blank widget and that is why the stock clock kept reappearing. You have to have a custom widget for it to not appear. By using a blank widget, it meets the requirement to keep the stock clock away, but you don't see anything on your screen.

I like the circle clock widget on the lock screen, but i'm wondering how to change the look of the day and month. For example, i would like it to read....12 Apr, instead of Apr 12. Is there any way that i can do this? Thanks for any help.
Heres what i got so far on my home screen. I can rearrange things to fit other widgets.

I know on marshmallow there was one.

Saw on a galaxy A5, nougat, that we can set the livewallpaper on lock and home screens ...
But still cannot on S7
Both phones on nova launcher and both on nougat ..
Thanks by advance
Try not to set it from the Nova or your device Settings. Open the wallpaper you want to use, open it via Gallery app, and set it as wallpaper. It should give you these options:
1. Home screen
2. Lock screen
3. Home and lock screens
If not, use a third party app.
nope that don't give these options.. That only do with pictures, but not with animated wallpaper. That's the issue
I have a Samsung Galaxy S7, and I can easily set a Live wallpaper on Lockscreen by going into Settings - Wallpapers and themes.
Then click VIEW ALL, then click in the three dot from the upper right conner, and you'll see the option: Live wallpapers. From ther you can add also to your Lockscreen a Live wallpaper.
I just tested this, just to see if it works, and it does work.
I don't usually use Live wallpapers though, I use simple ones.
I don't know what to say. Apparently stuff just works on some phones and on some, doesn't work. Weirdest thing.
I am loocking for this, with all launchers i can , since months.
I dont have this setting avaiable.
I tough it was with nougat.. but i just saw it was possible with my work's samsung a5...
Very weird indeed
Try to sideload the S8 Launcher. Or google Pixel Launcher. I know you said you tried different launchers, but maybe you missed one. Sideload the apk's on your phone.
Or, if you are rooted, try a custom ROM, or another custom ROM, if you already have one installed.
Ive tried them too.
Ive also tried sames launchers on my nougat galaxyA5 , then the setting is avaiable.
Im on stock rom on S7 , non root.
I guess i have to try another country stock rom...
Wait it is really somehow possible to have live wallpapers on the lock screen!?
I just looked for the option and can't find it anywhere...
