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.
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:

Sorry if its been asked before but I accidentally changed my lockscreen on my honor 8. I can't go back to using magazine unlock for some reason. I've tried changing the themes and display setting but no luck. Somehow I've even accidentally got rid of my magazine unlock pictures in the gallery.
Tl;dr I have two questions
1. How do i re-enable magazine unlock on EMUI 4.1?
2. Can someone check where the photos for magazine unlock in the gallery are located so I can figure out how to get it back? (Press the i icon on the top right when viewing in gallery.)
My problem is the opposite of this. I want to get rid of this
In settings>Lockscreens I cannot untick the checkbox next to magazine. I have already unsubscribed from services and deleted all the pics.
I still have a screen to unlock before I unlock the phone with a patter or password.
In order to remove the changing lockscreens, u just have to set another one out of for example the gallery app...
Or you can just pause at one Wallpaper, by swiping up in the lockscreen and press the pause button.
To get rid of the magazine unlock, you have to go with the Designs App.
There you can edit the current theme.
The Magazine Wallpapers are located in /sdcard/MagazineUnlock
Hello, i just got the OTA update today for June and I'm hating the animation on the home screen after unlocking. Where the app icons sort of fly to the home screen after unlocking. I haven't been able to find a thread on this or a way in settings to stop animations. Can anyone help?
I noticed it also does the animation when i have locked the screen on a webpage and then unlock the phone
Hello everyone,
I am new to Huawei and have just bought a P20.
I have an issue and I think this is an EMUI problem: my notifications are not displayed on the lock screen once the screen is unlocked.
I explain:
If I receive an email or have a reminder from Calendar, I can see the nofitications on the lock screen. I can turn off an on again the screen, I still have the notifications.
But once I unlock the phone, it's impossible to see them again on the lock screen... This is very annoying! If I don't want to deal with one notification right now, I am not able to see it again on the lock screen. I don't have neither the icon in the upper bar.... I have to unlock the phone.
Do you have any workaround? I read I can change the theme, or use "Magazine unlock" but that might be old.
I hope you will be able to help me.
Hello,
this happened to me when I also lost the option to expand notifications in the lock screen (see "Expanding Notifications on Lockscreen" thread).
