I really pleased to see at the ICS conference last year the improvements of the lock screen especially being able to access the camera without unlocking and couldn't wait for the update. Since then I have now got two devices with ICS (SGS2 and archos G9 turbo) and neither seem to have this feature or the notifications. Anyone have an idea what happened or am I missing something?
Maybe Samsung removed it, also if you use a pin or anything you don't get it
Don't have it on my archos either, but the camera often doesn't register in 3rd party apps

ics lockscreen is only for stock ics. Gs2 has a lockscreen made by Samsung, so it's different.

Hmm! So the nasty people at Samsung took away my camera lock screen. Can anyone else confirm they have the notifications and camera on the ICS lock screen? (However this isn't on my Archo)
The next question is can we get hold of the stock ICS lock screen?

Hi all,
About two weeks ago I updated my XS to the official ICS update and am half happy/half annoyed with the result.
Firstly, I'm having trouble with the Home Screen Auto-Rotate. I can't see any settings/toggles for it, and it only seems to activate when plugged into a charger, and turning on/off screen rotation doesn't seem to affect it.
This is a problem for me, because I tend to be lying in bed when charging the phone, and having the home screen auto-rotate while all other applications are fixed in portrait is really annoying!
Have any of you found some setting for this? Or have a solution?
Secondly, there's the issue with the Lock Screen. With the ICS update, the ONLY way to view notifications in the lockscreen is by using "Slide" as a lock screen option, unlike Gingerbread. This is a problem because most people tend to want the "slide to unlock" and then some sort of security function (pattern, PIN, password, face recognition).
From what what I've gathered from reading some posts, ICS removed that functionality or something rather.
Do any of you have any solutions that keep the "Xperia" theme/look?
Thanks,
Aruim
Your first problem is non issues and standard features of any phone for Android(exactly the same as GB), you need to take a quick trip to the dev section to find a solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769082
Your second problem, if I understand you is also a non issue, you can pull down the status notifications menu in the lock screen(new to ICS), you can slide to open any notification(exactly the same as GB) and you can slide to unlock(exactly the same as GB)... you will find everything (exactly the same as GB) in the security\screen lock section of the settings.

The second prob the OP has is possibly the one I've seen most people comment on.
Some of us want notifications on our locks screens, but also want security, such as a PIN. You could do this on GB, now you can't. You have to have one or the other now with ICS. It's not *exactly* the same as GB.
Not a deal breaker, admittedly, but something *I* think Sony should have left, or at least included it as a choice.
hi
For this problem,
I went to disable the Live Ware.
Or, if you use this program, you can only uninstall the new update.
(the behavior you do not want to depend on this)
this worked for me

I stand corrected; i misunderstood.
I prefer it the ICS way tho, I'd prefer not having to slide to unlock then to again go thru security, to then have access to the phone. One poor mans solution is to pick your security method then set sim lock, at least yull have two part security option when u first turn on your device.

I have searched xda and Google but haven't found an answer. Does anyone know how to disable or remove screen capture? I tried freezing screen capture.apk in TB but that didn't help. I'm really tired of my pocket taking screen shots of my lock screen whenever I get a text. :-/

Uh, you could flash an aosp Rom...they don't have swipe screen shot feature, which is what iimagine is happening right?
On aosp it's volume down and power only, no swipe, or s-pen shot at all.
Not sure how to remove it though
Yeah that's what's happening. It didn't start doing that until I flashed the last ics leak and now it's doing it on the official release. It only does it if I'm walking around with my phone in my pocket and I get a text and only about 75% of the time then. I would use an aosp rom but I like having the spen functionality.

Do you want screenshots completely disabled or just the swipe screenshot disabled?
Completely disabled is much easier, as I just did a quick test and completely disabled screenshots.
What ROM are you using?
EDIT: Spoke too soon. I'm partially there...it doesn't take screenshots anymore, but it crashes SystemUI when you try to. I'll keep looking into it.
Since it happens on screen wake with texts, why not use SMS pop up from the market and disable notifications in the native messaging app. At least it won't wake in your pocket.
Honestly either way is fine with me, I don't ever take screen shots so I really wouldn't miss the feature.
I'm on the official att ics stock rom rooted and cwm.

Proving a little more difficult than expected. I'm still working on it, but won't be able to do any more on it tonight probably.
I appreciate the effort. I tried a couple of things that I thought might work but none did.

I've been digging around in SystemUI and can disable just the swipe screenshot, but it crashes SystemUI most of the time.
This may be a dumb question but did you freeze or remove screen capture.apk when you were trying that?

Not a dumb question at all. Freezing the screen capture apk doesn't stop the screen shot from being taken, which is a little bizarre.
I should get some more time to work on this tomorrow. Might take someone better than me though.
Yeah I thought it was weird that freezing it didn't do anything. I was thinking maybe that apk is what is causing the crashes when fooling with the system UI.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717
I worked on this some more today and its still crashing when I try to prevent the screenshot from being taken. I think another way would be to stop the phone from using the palm sweep gesture. That might be easier to figure out and I think is in framework.
That would work too. :thumbup:

Pretty simple question here, I recently installed the three UK JB update on my unbranded phone (got confused and wasn't concentrating, but anyway...) anniversary noticed that when the screen dims and turns off, if I press the home key to turn it back on in the short space of time that you get before it auto locks, then not only does the screen turn back on but it also backs out of the app I was reading. Is anyone else experiencing this? I never had this issue on ICS.
I am using smart stay, but this happens at times like when I'm reading in the dark or have the phone on my desk without my head directly over it.
Cheers in advance!

Yep, it's a Samsung bug that I guess they haven't fixed yet...
CyanogenMOD fixed the bug back when CM10 wasn't even usable on our devices
It's already fixed in the XXDLJ4 release.

I flashed about a week ago the official JB Update and the Bug was gone - till yesterday -.-
Now the Bug is back and i really don't know why. Is there any working solution? (execpt to reflash everything)
As far as I can see the bug depends on the lockscreen type and appears only, if you activated pattern locking and you have a relock delay.
still have it here, no special lock screen set up, just swipe to unlock

If you set SVoice to launch on home double press it should solve the issue of it backgrounding the app.
Yes this problem seems to appear when S-Voice is turned off. Which sucks cause I'd rather have google voice search.
I freeze Svoice in Titamium backup. And I have a problems with home button as some decribes in posts.
I was looking around for solution and I am happy that i finaly find answer here.
Many thanks for help with this S-Voice app
Samsung SVoice also introduces a delay to home button.
Hi guys,
i been having this very annoying problem with my GS3 LTE (9305) but when i compare to other GSIII's it seems only mine behave like this but i cant find any reason or any option for the cause.
Basically the problem is that when i call someone and the phone screen goes to off sometime i want to wake up the screen and press the button below the screen and what my phone does is to minimize the call application but on my friends phone the call application stays and only the screen is turned on.
Can you guys please help me finding the root cause to why my call application minimizes itself when the screen is off?
I been searching for every option there is and cant find anything useful, also i have never installed any other dialer application or anything like that.
Please help me this is getting me nuts.

I tested on a GSII LTE + GSIII + Note2 and all are running JB and works fine on their phone.
If it is a bug i hope Samsung fixes it soon, its been a while i got an update and this thing is so annoying.

I meant Galaxy S3 Jelly Bean roms... Jkays framework fixes this issue.
If i recall correctly it has something to do with a setting in s-voice I think. Also it happens with any application when the screen turns off.

Yes, this issue isn't unique to the dialler. If you let the screen timeout with any application then press the home key, it returns to the home screen.
The workaround is to make sure than in the S-Voice settings, you have "Open via the home key" option set. After this, a single home key press will wake the device without returning to the home screen.
Ask this question in the appropriate section

Sadly that didnt work either. I had actually S Voice disabled but enabled and did what you said but it still minimizes the call application
EDIT: very strange , tested calling 4-5 times and suddenly after my friend called me it started working. I called my other cell before and it works fine now. THANK ALLOT MAN.
EDIT2: funny i tried to disable S-Vice again and to my surprise it stil works.
I'm currently wavering bettwen Nexus 5 and G2, I like the bigger screen and better battery life of G2. But the location of the G2 screen locking button is annoying, it makes me really uncomfortable.
Yesterday I tried and found that I can lock and wake up the screen by double clicking it, which is a relief. But I'm also wondering if I flash the CM or other customized ROM into G2, will I still be able to do this? I don't like the stock Rom at all. Have you guys got used to the location of the button?
Thank you.

The location of the lock button doesn't bother me, never noticed out actually, but whatever the case is, I think the lock screen effect is a LG thing. You probably won't have to deal with any of the LG ui stuff if you're using cm rom...

Yes, on CM you still have knock on by default, it's built into the kernel. Knock-off is coming soon, or there are mods that add the function back in.

So you tap the screen twice every time you want to lock the screen? But sometimes if you tap on the app icon, it will open the app instead of locking the screen. How did you solve this problem?
No, for off it needs to be a black spot when not in lock screen or the status bar. In lock screen, anywhere. Yes works on custom roms, but on custom rooms knock off only works from status bar unless third party app.
On CM, you can work around by using a launcher such as Nova Prime with double tap options and a free app from the at store that turns the screen off.
Set Nova to double tap = launch screen off app.
I just set my screen off time to 15s and never worry about it turning it off.
On stock LG Rom, the launcher has double tap off built in. You can also double tap the status bar from within any app.
I don't think I've ever used my hardware buttons. It's very intuitive.
