I'd like to know Q1 also..
Camera app from lock screen. I think it needs to be enabled in the settings?. How it works. Place thumb on screen, then twist phone (whilst keeping thumb on screen) and turn it into camera position.
Found it, "Go settings", "Security", 2nd down "lock screen options". 3rd one down "Camera quick access".
In there is the lock screen shortcuts. Click on Shortcuts and select your apps. Just hold and remove, then ad from a list.
LOL, the things you find when you go looking. I couldn't work that out and bang i found them in seconds lol omg.

How does the pattern unlock or pin unlock work with Sense 3.0's lockscreen? I wasn't able to find any video on it or anything. Thanks for the help ahead of time!

EDIT: Although xda forums search gave no results, google eventually spit something up. I guess if anyone wants to know:

Yes. They did incorporate it and it works fine. Although I don't like the fact that if you have one set and get a text or something, it still shows on the actual lockscreen :/

Do you mean the indicator for number of messages? Or a popup? Have you tried turning off the "received notification" under settings?

I don't think he knows how to do that, because the menus "disappeared"
To the original poster - please try to touch and hold the screen on the left or right edge and a blue 'thumb menu' should pop up. From there you can do the same you can from regular menu bar and IMO it's much more handy.
Thx for the help guys. I cleared all data and cache and have sorted it. I will try the long press tip as I liked the full screen but not the inability to use tabs and input addresses.
Really appreciate your advice.
Thx again.

hi,i was watching the football on my phone yesterday and had to keep touching the screen to stop it blacking out,is there any way to stop this as i seen in settings display only has 10 minutes timeout
If you are rooted and have KI4 , KI8 , or KJ3 firmware, you can use KJay Deluxe Settings v13.1 app to customise quick settings panel and add "screen on" toggle. The"screen on" can be set up to 3.5 hrs.

you can create a dedicated and customized button/widget for "screen always on" (among many other things) with the app "widgetsoid",put it on your homescreen and toggle it whenever you need it.
its free on the market and doesnt require root.

Go to app "Status Bar Options" and customise settings panel. Check the box for Screen On. Then option Set Screen On Toggle ....xx mins
Now pull your status bar down to reveal your horizontal buttons at top of screen. If you have to many buttons, just swype finger from right to left to show hidden buttons of the screen.
If you want to change order of buttons, or add / remove , use settings above to uncheck all, then check again in the order you wish them to appear left to right.
Edit: Sorry, forgot to mention to also check setting for "temp screen timeout".

in my staus bar options i have no customize settings or "screen on",is there a paid version where you have more settings??
Boot into CWM recovery and format cache, advanced and clear dalvik cache. Reboot and try again.
You are using KJ3, KI4 or KI8 ? Custom de-odex ROM ?
Edit: If you have any further troubles, maybe ask in KJay's thread.

I use the Screen Off and Lock app to turn off the screen without fumbling for the power button. For some reason it doesn't work properly on the S3 - it turns off the screen briefly but then the screen turns itself back on.
Does anyone know of a homescreen widget or app which will turn off the S3 screen?
I also install it, on my device its set the screen off, then it came back for a second and then off.

Yes, that's exactly what it's doing on mine now.
Unfortunately, it will only work properly if the lock screen security > none
Tested with Swype, face and pin. Obviously the screen security prevents it from staying off.

That's exactly how my settings are - the screen still switches itself on again momentarily after tapping then Screen Off and Lock app. I've now tried a couple of the other free "screen off" apps and widgets and they do exactly the same thing, so maybe there's some sort of issue with an API in the S3?

In the menu I posted, select "none", then it will screen off properly. The app (and others) obviously have issue with TW lockscreen with any setting other than "none".

Why not? Read my previous posts.
With lock set to "none", the app works properly, with any type of lock, the screen will flicker from off to lockscreen on.
This proves the app is not totally compatible with SGS3 TW lockscreen.

Maybe tapping on the widget with the weather on the home screen and going into the settings in that app

You might want to take a second look. It's not a global setting, but controlled by the app. So open the app that the widget is linked to and look in the settings menu for that app.
In particular, if you are using the default accuweather app, that is indeed where the setting resides. You may also want to recreate the widget to speed up the change i.e. don't expect that the change will always be reflected instantaneously.
.
OK thanks, I figured it's tied to a certain weather app. Will keep looking. Here is a pic of my lockscreen,
Sent from my SM-G900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
That appears to be the Accuweather app. From memory.. tap or double tap on the time or temperature on the home screen to open the full page Accuweather.. then click on the menu icon there (3 dots) to get into the app's settings dialog. Then look for the C/F or metric /Imperial toggle.
.
Hmm, Not sure where that app is, I thought I had it frozen in TB. I've only got one weather app installed right now.

That one then. Whatever it is.

I froze it and restarted the phone. It did get rid of it so I know that's it, however when unfrozen there is no actual app anywhere to configure.
*Edit it doesn't come back now after unfreeze and rebooting. Oh well no big deal. The weather app I do have and use is Weather & Clock Widget.

Stand alone widgets are less common.. and will be configured from the widget itself instead of a main app then.

The reason his app settings are not showing when he taps the the temp..
Is probably because he has the
Unified Daemon frozen in TB too.
I learned it the hard way from freezing it..

Here is what my lock and home screen looks like..
Here is a link to my 2 apks if you want to try them..put them in system/app ...just rename yours to .bak and you can switch back if doesn't work but should as that's all I changed..then restart phone and replace the original weather widget and make it 100 percent transparent.
Tap on the Temp on the home screen takes you to the settings.

Cool thanks I will try them. I don't remember ever seeing the second app "weatherdaemon2014" Maybe that's it.
*edit, those worked! I didn't have accuweather in system/app, though the weatherdaemon was. Its all working now, thanks a lot for your help!
Weather App - change from C to F

I am new and this may just be an old thread that has been resolved.
I went through the entire thread and didn't see a suitable reply.
On my newly acquired Galaxy 5S, I wanted to do the same; change from C to F.
First went through the Settings App and didn't see anything that would make the change.
Sometimes things are very simple. And this was something I probably over-thought.
What I did:
Unlocked the screen, and there's the "Weather App" loaded right on the main screen at the very top of the screen.
I tapped the "Weather App" box, which brought the "Weather App" full screen.
I then tapped the three vertical dots, flush right top on the screen. This brought up four options (black text on white background).
They are from top to bottom, 'Weather map', 'More', 'Settings' and 'Report wrong city name'.
Tap on "Settings":
Then, under "General", the first settings option is "Unit".
Tap "Unit", then tap the radio button "°F" to change from Celsius to Fahrenheit.
Unless you want to continue making additional changes, such as 'Refresh', 'Location' or 'Notifications...' you are done.
There is no "Save" button. The changes that have been made I believe take effect immediately.
All you have to do is back out and get back to the main screen by pressing the Home button to get back to business.
Hope that helps someone, someplace.
Best,
Robert
Hallelujah, I have figured it out. Press on the widget on the lock screen. Select change widget. Choose Accuweather (yes, it does not appear in your apps management list) A whole page opens up with the Accuweather forecast AND in the top right corner (at least on mine) (Note 4) you get the three dots indicating a menu. Press the dots and holy cow the settings for accuweather come up. And there you will see the temperature change option. Right at the top. Hope this helps.
