Maps should have this by default why will a person on earth like to lock its screen when he using gps assisted maps .
Anyone with a solution?
Adjust the screen timeout when using it.
The answer for your problem is "Screen Mode Widget Lite". With the widget on your homescreen you easily change mode with a "tap" and get the screen to stay on.

I've tried many screen locking widgets in market, but most of them will make the screen off, but than immediately screen is turned on to the lock screen.
I'm using darksode pre-final, and widget locker.
Everything act the same when I disable widget locker.
Anyone have some ideas?
Hello. I've installed ICS 4.0.3 (I9100XXLPS), and then rooted it. Everything works fine except for two things: Chainfire3D and lock screen AccuWeather.
In Chainfire3D I can't use per-app settings, because, for some reason, they won't work. I've tried reinstalling it, still no luck.
As for AccuWeather lock screen display, it shows 0.0°C most of the time, unless I go to Dispay Settings, and disable, then re-enable Weather. This fixes it for some time, after which it goes back to 0.0°C. The problem is only with the lock screen one, desktop widget shows normal temperature all the time.
Are these known issues? Any help on how to fix this would be appreciated. Thanks!
I have this problem too. The only solution is to disable weather from lock screen. There is no fix for this issue at the moment.
I've managed to make it work on my Galaxy S II (don't know for now long it will work ):
- I had the accuweather widget and accuweather lock screen enabled.
- Go to Applications on Settings, All applications
- Clear data and Force stop the app called "Accuweather Weather Daemon"
- Clear data and Force stop the app called "Accuweather.com"
- Turn on locating services
- Remove and add again accuweather widget on the home screen. It will automatically use the location service and show the right information.
After that the accuweather widget on the lock screen shows the right temperature as well
Curious, as I find it rather annoying and rather pointless to have.

I have not found a permanent way to disable the lock screen. There are several apps in the app store that will temporarily do it, I use a widget app called Widgetsoid where that is one of the controls you can set to have on the screen. I have found that the OS turns it back on at random intervals.
If you use CM7 there is an option in the settings to turn off the lock screen though.
Hi all, I am using a Galaxy S III. I am happy with my 1 minute screen timeout but with one exception; when I open navigation, (google maps) screen fades when time-out has reached. Smart-Stay is open but I can't look into the phone when I am driving. So is there any chance that I can both use the timeout and not to fade the screen when a app (navigation for example) is on.
Thanks
Navigation or Google Maps? Navigation has a power settings menu that allows you to turn off screen dimming.
If you want to keep the screen from timing out in Google Maps try Tasker.
Try Screebl Lite, it's orientation based.

I love the "swipe up an icon to launch that application" feature of the lock screen on the One. But I've noticed that (seemingly randomly) it just stops working. For instance, I'll grab the chrome icon and swipe up, and the phone won't register that I've grabbed anything, and the screen just unlocks. Rather than an icon floating with my swipe gesture -- the lockscreen just fades out and then the phone displays whatever activity was open when the screen was turned off (almost like I've grabbed the lock icon, though I haven't). Has anyone else experienced this? And how can i get it to go back to the default behavior?
Did you install any kind of notifier that would display on top of the lock screen? I found out that after installing Notifierpro with accessibility services turned on it messed up the Sense lock screen.
I have posted my experience on a different thread and did not see your post. I just thought maybe you are experiencing the same problem.

Mine sorta does the same thing. Sometimes I will grab an icon (any icon for that matter) and it won register the swipe at all, It won't even bother unlocking and it wont register any swiping at all until I do one of two things
- I will have to hit the power button twice to sleep and wake the device then swipe to unlock
or
- Hit the Home or Back button then swipe to unlock
anyone experience this? hope this helps
