I've noticed on the lock screen it says "Swipe to Unlock" and then says "AT&T" underneath it. Well no crap, I know I have AT&T I don't need to see it every damn time. Is there a way to change/remove that?
Not the AT&T part but you can get rid of the help text under the Lock Screen menu in settings.

Hi ALL,
I know this is Galaxy S I9003 Android Development but since we do not have saperate Section I am posting here.
I have Two issues
1. I have selected "None" for Screen lock in Settings-> Location and Security. still i see this ( <<<<<xxxxxx>>>>> ) type of screen lock some time after time out. I want to remove this. My phone is rooted and on XXKB33.
2. I usally set Screen Time out at 15 Seconds. It automatically goes to 1 Minute.. What can be the issue.? I use LockMenu Where i have set time out as 15 secs.
can anyone pls help me resolving these?
thanks

For the first issue the only way to change the lockscreen to default android lockscreen is to modify system files... look at my other post with vanilla lockscreen.....

Here you can not deactivate the screen lock. You can only change security settings like password, PIN or pattern lock. If you select none, you will not be asked to input any of those after sliding the screen to open it. But lock screen will still be there.

The responsability of screen lock is android.policy.jar and framework-res.apk... maybe try to restore again that files... one question... have you tried app from market that enable lock screen like: screen off and lock? (I'm not sure about the correct name). Another question.... but the lock-unlock button works?

Hi, I'm using slim 4.0, I like the 4 prong app selector lock screen but would like to use, prior to that screen, an actual lock screen like the pattern to make my phone slightly more secure. Is this possible? How?
Thanks much,

It's possible to have the Slim lock screen as well as the pattern. To activate the pattern lock screen, go to Settings and then Security then pick Pattern under the Screen lock section. Then go back to Settings and ASS (Advanced Slim Settings) and pick the Lockscreen options and scroll down near the bottom and check Show lockscreen before unlock.
It will show the Slim screen where you can select one of your four apps, but to launch the app you will need to draw the pattern. I realize that this doesn't exactly answer your question since you wanted the pattern before Slim, but it will still make your phone more secure by requiring the pattern to fully unlock the phone.
I've got Widget Locker installed and it's extremely better than the default lockscreen. The only issue is the delayed and sometimes inoperable "auto swipe" feature. It likes to work if it isn't in landscape mode.
Is there any way to remove the stock blur lockscreen and replace it with Widget Locker without using easy-wake?
Edit: I'm using Maverick v4.5 if it makes a difference.

But that will also remove the pattern lock from stock. (right??)
I tried numerous apps and hacks to remove the stock lockscreen while remaining pattern lock. There's one app that does it but there's always a delay or glitch.
The one who thought you need to unlock 2x when using pattern is retarted

It's pretty standard procedure for touchscreen devices, isn't it? My iPad makes me swipe to unlock then type in my lockscreen passphrase almost all of the time, as does my iPod Touch.
I prefer it this way, actually. Muscle memory always has my thumb poised to swipe to unlock, and it's easier for me for the procedure to be consistent rather than different when the pattern lock time has passed. It's also easier when I need to tel my wife what to do when we are driving and I get a text message...

No it's not normal. Entering your password/pattern lock already unlocks your phone - there's no need to do a swipe before that.
If only widgetlocker had it's own built-in security features

Close, but this removes the passcode/pattern/password lock. Its almost the same as using the easy wake option without hardware buttons waking the device.
It might not be possible but I'm looking to keep the passcode if it is.

Even with widgetlocker it's still a bit buggy/glitchy. Pretty often the stock lockscreen comes up for me or it flashes for 1sec. Very annoying.
Also when you draw your pattern wrong it will always show the stock lockscreen.
I wish there was a way to JUST remove the lockscreen blur slide screen, without removing the security features
Widget Locker bugs out on me too. It sometimes seems to skip the lock screen and auto swipe on my pass code screen, pushing a bunch of numbers.
Either way, I'll just SeekDroid my phone for security and use Widget Locker until I find a better solution.

Whenever I set up my phone with any sort of security, it keeps going back to swipe to unlock. If I try the PIN option, it only asks for a PIN when it first boots up. Once its up and running and I go to lock and unlock the screen, it says swipe to unlock. It does the same when I set up pattern, face, face with voice, pin, and password security. It always just goes back to swipe to unlock. I got this phone for my girl and I'm trying to convince her to switch to Android because she's a avid Apple user and uses PIN on her phone now and it works fine. She'll never accept this new phone if I can't even get this simple feature to work for her. The phone is stock no root nothing. All I did was throw some apps in for her. Am I missing something here? This works fine on my LG Optimus G Pro that's rooted but I can't for the life of me figure out why it wont work on the Active that's not rooted. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks guys.
Okay it seems to ask for the PIN when I leave the phone idle for a few minutes. Isn't it supposed to work as soon as I lock and unlock? Say I lock the screen and set it down for a sec and decide to pick it back up again to unlock it, shouldn't it ask for the PIN right away? If I don't give it time it doesn't bother asking to verify PIN. This phone is great and I'm so tempted to get a regular S4 for myself but issues like this irritate me to no end.
Go into Settings > Lock Screen > set it up how you want it > "Secured Lock Time" and check "Immediately"

This is strange, I'd like my phone to do just that. Require a PIN if I leave it locked for an hour, and default to swipe if it's within the hour so I can use lock screen widgets.
Could you get the swipe to appear when you lock it with the power key, or just when you left it for a minute?

From what I understand the timmer on the option my-blue-snog-box mentioned doesn't start till the lockscreen is active so it'll goto the swipe screen if you hit the power button or you leave it sitting and and autolocks.

Do you have Tasker? You can do it with the Secure Settings plugin (might need donate version).

there r 2 settings...screen off timeout and lock timeout after screen off.
the longest lock timeout is 30 minutes.
if the screen is off, pressing the home button before lock timeout will on the screen without any lock, not even swipe.
under settings, screen timeout is under display section while lock timeout is under lock screen section.
Hey @staverton, PM me. I'll make you a Tasker profile (or a little app so you don't need Tasker if you don't have it), but you need to let me know exactly what you want it to do.

The stock 5.0 notification screen in nice, but kind of pointless on the Moto X since the Touchless controls do a much better job.
The problem is that it now takes two touches to get to the home screen where once used to suffice. Anyone figure out a way to bypass this yet?
On Verizon, so no root unfortunately
If you swipe up on the lock screen it will go to the homescreen with one swipe.

In Lollipop, you can set your security level to "none" instead of "swipe" as long as your guest account is disabled. If guest account is enabled, the "none" option isn't available.
You still have to swipe past the notification screen every time you hit the power button....

Huh? I'm talking about how to remove the swipe requirement. Just click on the aqua colored avatar in the upper right corner in quick settings. A dialog box appears and in the lower left is the option to "remove guest" account. Once you do that, "none" appears as option, in addition to the others (swipe, PIN, pattern) as a means of unlocking the device.
But I want to have PIN lock The Smart Lock setting will turn the pin off at home, but doesn't remove the need to swipe the Notifications screen away.

I agree with the original poster. This is unnecessary and annoying added step (swipe) to access the homescreen from a pattern, pin, password locks.
