Disable Lockscreen - Android Nougat - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hi
Anyone know of a way that I can disable the lock screen? I finally got my partner to upgrade her GS7 from MM to Nougat and it's all good except that there is no longer the option for no lockscreen
The phone isn't rooted and I have tried a few apps that disables the lockscreen but I assume the phone won't let it run in background because they only work for a short time
Is there a way to change the lockscreen type to none via ADB?
Thanks,

That was what was on it before the upgrade but not now

Strange, that screenshot of mine is running the latest version of Nougat
Do you have secure startup enabled? Maybe another security setting is preventing you from disabling lockscreen security

Nope nothing like that. Was fine before upgrade and now the option just isn't there. Oh well I'll just have to hope to find out why the apps stop working, probably to do with doze.
Thanks anyway

Have you factory reset since the update to Nougat?
Always recommended after a major upgrade as it generally leaves behind bugs, battery drain, and possibly weird things like this
I'd backup and reset the phone because that option should be there

[Q] System Update - Eating up my battery... any ideas why? or fix?

Hi, need some help. I recently installed the 'Battery Stats Plus' app on my note (n8000) because when i checked my battery status it showed that my phone kept waking up. what the app showed was that software update is eating up >15% of my battery which is really odd. btw. i'm running on omega 2.1 only connect via wifi (no sim inserted). anyone else have such an issue? i wanted to disable software update but the system doesnt allow it. any advise?

A guess is that you have OTA turned on and its continually trying to update even though its not a Samsung firmware .

I get that as well, don't know if STAMINA mode is the cause but there is a delay in the clock widget and system time updating. Truth be told that problem was there since the ICS firmware on 2011 Xperia's. Just wait for a bug fix or get used to it.
Edit: The poll doesn't make sense, also no need to create duplicate threads, refer to this one.
Hopefully moderators can delete this one.
Ohh.... my want is since the software update to 4.2.2

that looks sick a Fuuuuuuuuh
well besides having a bad ass looking phone, you need to debug your modules
they are likely conflicting or not compatible..
whats your FW version, what modules are you using as in all of them..
id turn them all off and try one at a time....
Thanks for your reply and compliment. ?I have quite a few modules screen shot below. I tried disabling unicon and few others but there was no impact. I understand that it's extremely user specific issue, but I do appreciate your time to help. Cheers
Actually I've had that same issue being 100% stock. I'm not sure why it occurred, and if this is the only way to fix it but...download this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ogqcorp.bgh . Set your wallpaper using this app. Somehow I randomly tried it and it worked.
Have you tried setting wallpaper with gallery or g+ photos app?
Thanks guys. Seems like it happens with launchers only. But if I use quick pic then it stays put. Not sure how to resolve this, but thanks again for your help.

Tinted system bars on Android 5.0 Lollipop?

I really came to love tinted system bars, the possibility of the status bar adapting its colour to the app. A quick example for anyone not familiar:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I upgraded to Android 5.0 and am missing this option a lot, it makes my screen look a lot smaller. I found workarounds with 3rd party apps for everything else still not integrated in 5.0 (like PIE controls), but could not find anything for TSB. I know XPOSED doesn't work with ART, but I'd like to know if anyone else had found a possible workaround until we get TSB. All I found was info about how to make apps take advantage of this on www.stackoverflow.com, something way too technical for me as of now.
As of now, I think its just a case of waiting for app developers to update their apps to support it in Lollipop. Some apps (mainly Google apps) support it currently - so its definitely still a feature.
There's no method to.force apps as of right now.

Was afraid of that.. Well, back on Mahdi ROM (4.4.4) again where this & PIE is built in the ROM, I like it better than 5.0 (still).
Thanks for the answer!

Caller ID and Spam Protection Mod (Whitepages) keeps turning OFF

Guys,
Any idea why Caller ID and Spam Protection option automatically gets OFF, Mostly upon Reboot?
It's in Settings/Advanced Settings/ --
I have it enabled on ROM by using the below code on OMC/XSG/cscfeature.xml
Code:
<CscFeature_Common_ConfigSvcProviderForUnknownNumber>whitepages,whitepages,whitepages</CscFeature_Common_ConfigSvcProviderForUnknownNumber>
This used to work quite well on the S7 and Note 7, and no issue with switching off on reboot. Just on the S8 I'm facing this issue.
Any help is much appreciated!

Offhand i don't have a solution.
However, i can say it's not supposed
to be like that.
My phone is not rooted.
Stock Rom.
No issues with Caller Id button and Spam Protection, sticking /staying on.
(After reboot or not,)
I can toggle it, just fine.
See screenshot.
Don't know if Service Provider
has to support this function, to work.?
or did you maybe disable
"some" setting on phone
and have a knock on affect.
or was the relevant setting "broken /corrupted"
by some other 3rd party app.
If none of above, consider a factory reset.?
It will save you a lot of frustration /trouble.
i'm also had this issue in j7 pro
