Personally, I replaced it with Widget Locker, because it works better..

When I install Widget Locker, it doesn't disable the original lock screen, so now I have to unlock twice - first Widget Locker and then Samsung Locker. How did you work around it?
Don't know if it is a bug, but when you set the powerbutton action to "shutdown", the lockscreen is disabled also. Look in the code thread for the code, or download sgs info from the app forum to set the powerbutton action.

The other lockscreen does show sometimes I have noticed (such as for alarm), but ensure all security on it is turned off for things to work properly. Also, you might just need to set the options better.
I use widget locker even though it does lag a bit because I find the samsung unlock too sensitive (even in JM5)

I had the same problem.
I liked the Widget Locker, but this "bug" is so boring.
I must admit I hate the Sweep to unlock screen. I'd much rather have the stock Android lock screen.

If you set the power button to shutdown, can you still lock the screen with it?
Did anyone find a solution to turn off "Sweep glass to unlock"?

its a little buggy, when I press power button it first shows the default galaxy s lockscreen than the simpe lockscreen. Second the clock remains at the same hour, it changes only when I unlock the device and than lock it back, after that it freezes again, its not real time
i don't have that problem, it works for me
i just want "Sweep glass to unlock" to be completely removed
anyone know what is the name of the APK "Sweep glass to unlock" in Titanium Backup?
I'll try out simply lock, I like widget locker because earlier I had a bunch of widgets and apps on it that I'd be most likely to call up when unlocking (maps, internet, power control, weather widget.)
Now, with LauncherPro's gesture shortcuts I have blank homescreens and just dock icons with a dual functions since I use a gesture on them. Now, I've cleaned out widget locker to look at my beautiful background. Meanwhile, I can get to my homescreen by pressing home, back and/or having a lock icon (vanilla, widgetlocker, sense, and I think 2 other options).
Definitely liking this look to my phone more than all the others I have tried. I even use a bit of livewallpapers for the first time, doesn't hurt my battery life too much as long as they allow my phone to sleep (I've noticed one that wouldn't so I keep my eye open for battery drain when I wake my phone after the screen is off).
i use live VR wallpaper and or the Mario live wallpaer
those 2 are fun
the rest are okay but boring, i tried matrix, nexus, all the ones that came with the phone, etc.
still waiting for some more interesting ones to pop up in the horizon, something more interactive
I enabled the standard unlock pattern under settings-location and security
I much prefer it to the sweep glass.

There's a great little app called 'No lock'.
Search for 'No lock' on the app market.(Its a free app.Also has handy widget)
i tried no lock again, but it doesn't work
"Sweep glass to unlock" will still show up after reboot
no lock is just another lock screen
same problem here, i don't like "like sweep to unlock" either
do u guys have any solution yet ?

I assume you've seen aCircuit Board? Isn't too bad, paid apps weren't available when it came out but I'll probably get it soon. I actually want to get the free one that works with beautiful widgets (haven't bought beautiful widgets because every has been saying its been broken from an update, but when they fix it I'll probably be all over both).
I definitely like the ones that use the accelerometer/motion sensors like the VR paper. I saw one with Android Andy's falling, but it looked a bit too cartoonish for me.
I found Ocean Waves to be quite interactive and nice enough, but it was the one that I've isolated to giving my phone sleep issues so I wont be using it.

Yeah, I agree, I was using that until I got widgetlocker because I found myself having much less "re-dos" on unlock attempts. Now, I just hit a softkey and I'm to my home screen or if you want you can have a slide to unlock that I find more intuitive and accurate than sweep glass.

Funny how it works great for me.
After the screen times out,no matter how long I wait.. when I press the home key the screen lights up again without the need to sweep. Even after rebooting it works,no need to activate it again.
Awesome.

You have to launch No Lock and tap the icon in the middle to active it.
Hey guys,
at the moment i've got a wp8 Style Launcher. I love this design and i'd really like to have a lockscreen with the same WP7/WP8 design and with a password function. I tried a these here: Lock Screen 7 and WP7 Lock Lite and Pro. So, the problem is, Lock Screen 7 doesn't have a password function. The other two have it, but when i activate it, first the lockscreen doesnt appear and when, i can unlock it easily with pressing the home button althoug i turned the password function on!
So, do you know any other Windows Phone styled lockscreen with a working password function?
Merry christmas to all of you.....
There seems to be modded Nfc apk's for reading tags while screen off or on locked screen.
Can this be done on the Razr i (the modded apk's for other phone don't work).
I would like to read tags while on locked screen. Can anybody do this?
Thanks in advance
I don't have the answer but I'm like you. I would like a way to have NFC working on lockscreen (but not on screen off )
And if someone find a way to change the default sound while scanning a tag, it would be great !
You don't need any modified apks for using nfc in lock screen (only screen must be on) . For me it works with widget locker. I didn't like the behavior of widget locker not reporting the locked state to system (when i was using tasker this was unwanted in some cases), now i like widget locker for this behavior!

Seems like a possibility, but then you have no security like PIN code, pattern or faceunlock I'd rather choose security over comfort
AW: [Q] Nfc on screen off or with locked screen
For security (privacy) I'm using Visidon applock (face recognition). It locks specific apps with private content (sms, email etc.)
And I have an anti theft software running. But I hope I never need it.
Usually I watch out for my phone and Visidon helps against prying eyes.

The Lock screen widgets are missing many features comparing to S4. Anyone complaining or is it just me? My "Favorite apps or Camera" is grey out.
This is all I got in the setting. Everything else is missing.

You need to disable the security to use those functions - turn off pattern, pin, password, whatever, and set it to "Swipe". Then you can use lock screen widgets.
Got my own answer
This feature is disabled if I use the pattern lock. Sucks.

After activating the lock screen widgets you can then reactivate security code or pattern. To use them you have to wake the screen *Before* it auto-locks. Once it locks itself, you have to unlock it per usual. So you get your choice between security and convenience.

Or you can use a third party lockscreen like I do - Widget Locker gives you both security AND convenience, by layering on top of the secure lockscreen. If I click on of the widgets, I'm brought to the lockscreen to unlock to use it - except for the camera which is usable without unlocking.
When I updated my s4 active to 4.4 I no longer see the Samsung music widget on the list of lock screen widgets, just watch on, calendar, s health and a few other apps but not the music widget. Anybody having this problem or know of a fix

Hi
i have same problem too!
ish! donno what to do
Hi,
after I updated my P10 by OTA to Android Oreo and EMUI8, I can't get the Lock Screen notifications to work. The custom lock screen apps won't work either.
Do you have any tips on how I can get back my Lock Screen notifications?
Make sure using magazine unlock.
Go to theme app, customize, lockscreen then magazine lockscreen

Thanks for the quick reply, in fact, this seems to work with new Notifications. But previously I used Floatify, so I can see allnotifications, not only new ones.
I don't really understand why Huawei does such a thing, without the possibility to show all notifications
It's Google who's made the 3rd party lockscreen not work with the Oreo update, Huawei just are weird I assume?
And if you set it here?
How do I quick reply when I get a notification on my lock screen without unlocking my phone?
