Slightly odd one, I've got a new i9300 out of the box, firmware LG8/LH1 UK stock, and for some reason a swipe down from the top of the screen will open the notification area the first time after a boot, after that it doesn't open. I have to do a screen swipe to unlock, then pull down the notification bar. I've got another S3 I've been using for months that this works perfectly on, with the same firmware setup. Very puzzled as to why this doesn't work as it should on a stock device; any ideas, anyone seen it before?
Just for anyone else finding the same issue, it turns out that putting a SIM card in solved it. No SIM = No lockscreen notification swipe, weird and obscure bug...
Strange.... Does this mean wifi only device like Nexus7 cannot pull the notification when the screen is locked? Or maybe is just Touchwiz's bug?

No idea about the Nexus 7, but the lock screen notification swipe does work on the (WiFi-only) Transformer Infinity, so it's probably something to do with having an empty SIM slot rather than not having a cellular connection.

using adw launcher... When I am on a call and move away from the active call screen, I can't seem tho get back to it. I can get to the dial screen, but not back to the active call screen to mute, change speaker phone etc. on the notification bar there is a glowing green tint to show a call is in progress, but I can't seem to find the right combination too get back to the active call screen.
Figure I am overlooking the obvious...

I think you can just tap the phone icon in status bar.
Right in front of my eyes.... thanks!
notifications waking up the screen are killing me.. if my phones in my pocket and the screen wakes up, then every step i take, my thigh hits the screen and keeps it awake for hours till i check the phone or it dies first..
sometimes when i get certain notifications, such as low battery, it keeps the screen on indefinitely (ironicly battery warning is a huge battery killer lol..), so does charger connected/disconnected.
anyways there's my rant, my question is,
; has anybody come across a way to stop the screen from turning on when getting a notification? it already lights up, vibrates, has a smart reminder option, and a led indicator, I'd really love to stop the screen from lighting up.
ill give 'Thanks' to anyone throwing out suggestions

are you talking about the sms app? use a custom one
SMS app is one culprit, so is email, Google talk, battery notifications, LINE messager, and a zillion other 3rd party apps.. itd be much more realistic to find a lock screen off solution, or remove the service that lets apps lightup the screen

Easy fix, get SMS popup app, go into the stock SMS app and disable notifications, now go into the SMS popup app and in notifications , click and enable notifications. Now go into additional settings and unchecked screen on for pop-up . That's it, you'll get notifications without the screen turning on.

interesting. let's wait till OP tries it
Soraxd,
What lock screen do you use?
I have a good workaround, but it involves using WidgetLocker lock screen which is hands down the most killer optioned lock screen around.
Let me know if your interested.

soraxd,
Workaround...works pretty much flawless on my S3 with ICS.
Install Widget Locker. You mentioned that it was not as fast as your stock lock screen. On my old retired HD2 and my 6 month old S3, W.L. is actually faster than stock. The key thing is that you have the settings maximized...which include disabling the stock lockscreen from withing ICS/JB settings. (I can give you more info if it runs slow for you) I just set my wife's new S3 with the same configuration and it works perfect. I can unlock and relock W.L. pretty darn quickly...no delays at all.
Then in W.L., I use a simple Iphone style unlock to slide and have that at the bottom of my W.L. screen so my thumb can easily reach. I have many widgets on the screen. (agenda/last caller/clock etc) Then I use a free app named Invisible Lock Widget. You drop this widget into W.L., and you LAYER IT OVER all other widgets except the slide to unlock. (This is one of W.L.'s coolest features)
First off, W.L. should be set for 10secs time out...so less chance of your leg re-triggering it in the first place. 2nd thing, when your leg triggers the screen because it has turned on due to a notification or what-have-you, then Invisible Lock Widget actually re-locks the screen. It's that simple. Sometimes I press the menu button to turn my screen on to look at the time, and 2secs later I click the screen and it quickly and easily turns off thanks to I.L.W. Once you get used to it, you will find it is very convenient and efficient. Like I said, it's a work around and also has other benefits.
Widget locker can be set to suppress the "power button long press menu" if it gets triggered in your pocket. It cannot suppress the "low battery" warning popups that show up above W.L. but the dev might be adding that. (I requested it) I have a Tasker workaround for that. If your running Tasker, I will share that with you. It works like a charm. With all these little workarounds, I no longer do the "Pocket Launch thing".
Hi! I recently flashed MMS 4.2 AOSP onto my Hyperdrive 8.1 S4 and for some reason everytime I turn my phone on it goes to this screen and not my big clock. Why is this? It even shows that the screen my phone unlocks to isn't the home screen...

Looks like another widget
what you can (probably) do to fix it:
go to settings, lockscreen, then turn off multiple widgets
or
enable bigger clock on the same settings
Rooted running various ROMs and this keeps popping up. I have my "home" lockscreen set to cLock. As soon as I get any type of notification, lock the phone then go to unlock it this one appears to the right of the home lockscreen. Wouldn't be so annoying, except for the fact that it shows up as if it were the home lockscreen and I have to swipe to the left to get to the real home lockscreen.
I've noticed this on Hyperdrive and BoneStock, so I know it's not a ROM issue. If I restart, it goes back to normal up until I get another notification. I can't edit or remove it. Driving me nuts...

If you expand the widget screen by swiping down on your widget, that's the "minimized" unlock challenge. With your cLock widget on screen, try swiping down on it, and you'll see the same thing at the bottom. If you swipe back up from it, the widget is back to normal, non-expanded size, and the challenge ring will come back to normal.
...at least that's what I'm seeing.

That doesn't look like cLock.

I should have clarified. That widget looks the same wether minimized or expanded. I know what you're saying though, the cLock widget just shows me time and weather and when I expand it I get my calendar. Whatever this widget is it shows nothing but the time and date regardless of expanded or minimized. It shouldn't bug me this badly, but it's seriously driving me crazy. I get my lockscreen setup with a cool widget and as soon as I get a text or email I get this tiny little thing that doesn't show anything useful.

Pretty sure that is the KeyguardWidget that would normally show if you had a new message or missed call or something. I would delete it and it will default to the default clock widget.

This can be achieved on a TW ROM by going to settings, lockscreen, widgets, clock size and choose small.

Nice, thanks
Just a quick update in case someone else is searching for a fix. Adjusting the lock screen widgets from settings did not work for me (on JellyBeans B6). Renaming KeyguardWidget.apk to KeyguardWidget.apk.old in /system/apps did work though. Thanks again for everyone's help!

I have an issue when I wake my phone. So when I select a theme everything is fine then when I lock the phone and wake it, the icons become off center and it looks all jacked up. Does anyone know why this happens and of a possible fix?
is it bcoz of the nav bar?
That's what I thought at first so I tried it on my girlfriend's Nexus 4 and it works perfectly over there. The only thing I saw different about the Nav Bar is that it slides in after unlocking, so Its not a persistent Nav Bar.
yep. Please send a bug report and suggestion to make Themer better.
