I've noticed that the stock lockscreen never shows up when the phone is protected by a password. When I turn on the screen, I am automatically prompt to enter my password without ever seing the lockscreen. The only time the lockscreen shows is when the phone is not locked.
I spoke with Samsung this morning and they said this is how it's supposed to work but I just think it's pretty weird to have it working this way. I'm coming from an HTC and the lockscreen always shows when you turn on the screen, whether the phone is protected by a password or not. Same thing on CM7.
So my question is as follows: Is there any way to force the stock lockscreen to show-up prior to being prompt to enter the password? The reason I'd like to have the lockscreen showing is that it gives you the possibility to see some notifications from the lockscreen, and launch the given application right away.
I know there are some lockscreen apps out there but the problem with them is that they often fail to launch (takes a few seconds before they kick in). Also, when the phone is still unlocked (I have a 5 mins delay prior to locking), I'd get to see two lockscreens back to back (app + stock), which is annoying.
Thanks!

I've an issue regarding the combination of the Beautiful Widget screen unlock animation and the widgetlocker app that I was hoping someone could give advice/pointers on. I'm using a Nexus S with Oxygen 2.3.1 ROM
I have beautiful widget on one of my homescreens with the unlock animation activated. I've also got Widgetlocker activated on top of the android pattern unlock. What I notice is that weather animation sometimes has issues appearing.
When I unlock the device, turn the screen off, and unlock the device very quickly, the animation does appear. But if I wait a few extra seconds before screen-unlock, the animation sometimes shows up.
If i use only widgetlocker or only the android pattern unlock, the animation always appears.
has anyone reproduced this issue or know a way around it? thanks!!
I've got the same issue. I use the pin lock, but same thing. It seems if you unlock quick enough, you can see the animation, but it disappears a split second later. Its like Widget Locker triggers the animation instead of the pin lock screen, and the animation is starting behind the scenes while i type in my pin. Your right though, if I turn the screen off, then unlock again right after, it works.
I think there are two issues here:
1. The Android unlock screen should trigger the animation, not Widget Locker
2. The animation does start, but the duration is set to 20 seconds, and it dies within 1 second.
I was hoping there was a Widget Locker setting that might compensate for this. I tried "root helper" to no avail. Also, there is a setting that says "Retain System Keyguard (not recommended. but may help interactions with other lockscreen-related programs)", no dice.
For what it's worth, I have a Samsung Infuse 4g running SGH_I997_UCKK4 Rom (a Samsung leak).
I'm using fold 3 fancy widget stoped working all together. So now I've installed beautiful widget a nd the unlock animations are not working at all. When I open the app I see the clouds moving so I know It should be working. I've cleaned the cache and still nothing any suggestions from anyone? Wish there was another app to have windshield whiper when it rains like fancy widget...
It doesn't happen all the time but when I get a text & use the notification for that text on lock screen it goes to the oldest message from that person & not the new one.
I have it set on SORT to go to newest but like I said it doesn't do it all the time.
I have reset my phone back to factory 3 times & still have it.
Anyone else having this or have any input
I don't know how this happens, this is the 2nd time since I've factory restored, but on my lockscreen (no password, only wallpaper) the icons aren't draggable. Clicking anywhere on the screen unlocks the device. It's bizarre and I don't prefer this.
Running tmo h1 stock rom rooted.
Edit: Found the reason. Caused me to delete HTC Sense data too -_-;;
If Tasker has accessibility marked ON, it fudges with the native Sense Lockscreen.
Okay, I've been searching dozens of forums now.
Phone: HTC Desire S
I've a custom ROM in use. I've been using Go Locker for months with no problem. Yet I've decided to switch back to phone's default locker due to personal reasons. I've deactivated Go Locker and enabled the phones default pattern lock. Locked the phone and unlocked it back. Now instead of showing the pattern screen I've a nice little black screen with the Notification bar at the top. I can't pull down the notification bar down, cant unlock the phone either. Home button does nothing. Powered the phone on and off dozens of times. Tried using adb debugging etc.
Is there a way to disable the phone's default pattern lock and set a default launcher. I thing the launcher is not starting with the phone or something.
Could you give me suggestions related to the problem. I'd gladly answer your questions leading to an solution
I have a Nexus 4, unrooted, stock, running Android 4.4.3. Is there any way to access the camera app from the lock-screen when using a PIN to lock the phone?
This is my personal phone, but my employer requires a PIN lock (with a very short timeout) in order to access my work exchange server. It is annoying to have to enter the pin each time I want to take a photo. Once the PIN lock has been enabled there is no way to access the camera or any widgets from the lock screen. All of the applicable settings are greyed out in the security settings menu.
I have done enough searches to know that this is not possible without rooting, but I am not clear on whether or not it is possible if I root the phone. If so, what is the easiest path to add a working camera icon to the lock screen?
When my phone updated to 4.4.3, for a few days there was a camera icon on the lock screen but it did not work. No amount of swiping, dragging, or tapping could get it to work. Then after a few days the camera icon just disappeared.
Thank for you help!
