is it just me or do you find it annoying that it take 3 clicks just to answer a call!
1.unlock phone (im using widget locker and that takes me straight to the phone app yet i cant answer directly from there =/)
2.swipe down notification bar
3. click the green button to answer
is there a way to make the phone apk come up like a popup or like normal and unlock the screen and full screen?
i tried using dialerone but that didnt ever turn on =/
any suggestions ?

It must be due to widgetlocker as I simply hit the answer button when I get a call.
most android phones, when you get a call, pick up your phone and swipe the answer button, and say hello. not sure what you've got going on to make that so difficult

yep you were right about the widget locker. but i fixed it so it shows incoming texts and calls.
i did it by opening the widget locker app > clicking the phones menu button > Settings > Popups > unticking hide sms & incoming calls.
you should be able to pick up using the home button, no idea how widget locker behaves but with the stock locker I can answer that way (assuming I enabled the home button in settings)

There's a setting in WidgetLocker that allows you to answer the phone calls without the need to unlock the phone, it's called Hide incoming call, make sure it isn't green.
Im running a stock Note, and sometimes when I enter stock text messaging from the lockscreen my text doesnt appear when i begin talking. I have to close out the text messaging app and re-start it for it to work.
Does anyone know why, and is there a solution.

Anyone out there ever have this issue with their note?
Your OP isn't clear. You are using s-voice to dictate a reply to a text message after touching the notification icon on the lock screen? And the problem is your message isn't appearing in your conversation list?
Do you have another text messaging app with voice like "assistant" app? Maybe that app is intercepting your texts.
Negative/ What I mean is, the screen will be locked. It will light up when i get a text message. Instead of doing a regular swipe to unlock, if i select the text and swipe to directly enter the message in the stock text messaging app, when the keyboard appears, i start typing but the key presses do not register on the screen. Usually when this happens i have to close out the text messaging app by holding down the Home key and swiping away the text application. When i restart it and enter the message then i will be able to actually type.
It has happened before when not unlocking straight to the stock text app, but that's how/when it happens most times.
Ditch the lock screen?

Tried that. It still happens when i'm just regularly using the phone, but not nearly as often.
Try a different keyboard?

When a new text message message comes in, it shows up on the lockscreen. There's a way to touch something on the lockscreen to take you straight to that message. I did it a few times but i can't figure out what i did. I know you can swipe up from the messaging icon at the bottom, but that just takes you to the messaging app, not the one that's being shown...
Its so frustrating... I know there's a way... A tap in the right spot, a swipe in the right spot... i just can figure it out..
I think i may have figured it out...
I think it may be a double tap.
Double tap doesnt work for me...
What does work, is a single tap on the mesage notification on the lock screen.....
That opens up a huge lined box underneath. .....
Swipe in that box, it takes you right to that message. ....even if you have other message threads.
Good luck

I get a huge white box, but otherwise the same.
After you tap the notification box ,then you swipe inside the huge box. .
Straight to the message.
Good luck

[Q] How to remove "2nd" screen on lockscreen? Widget? (Attached Screenshots)
With my new note 3, I noticed when I turn the screen on and pull the lockscreen down, another screen pops up with an accuweather.com widget attached to an "Upcoming events" calendar. At this screen, if you swipe from right to left, another screen is available with shortcuts on it. How can I disable this 2nd lockscreen? Many times throughout the day I swipe my screen to get into my phone and I end upbringing up this 2nd screen by accident.
Secondly, I have another issue with the lock screen. On my Note 2, I would get a notification... email, facebook etc. from the lock screen I would pull the notification bar down, touch the notification I wanted to look at and the phone would leave the lockscreen and take me to the notification. however, with the note 3, I'll do all of the aforementioned and nothing will happen. I have to swipe open the lockscreen and THEN I will be able to see which notification I selected. Is there anyway to correct this? I hate having to swipe the screen open to see the notification I selected from the notification bar.
I have forcefully uninstalled accuweather widget and 2nd screen is still there. I have disabled all widgets from the lock screen and its still there. I don't know what else to do. Any help is appreciated.

I don't know about your situation but if I swipe my "first" lock screen left to right, I never see the second screen.

1.) Don't you just long press the said lock screen widget and trash it? The only lock screen widget I can't seem to trash is the favorite apps but it doesn't bother me. I don't use it but it doesn't bother me.
2.) I also would like to see if there was a immediate work around with this but it is my understanding this is how the mop flops and it is what it is.

Literally the first setting under lock screen in settings is to disable this... Did you look there? Just click the on switch to off for multiple widgets...
As for notifications, it's to prevent pocket unlock, I don't think there's a way to disable it

you are correct. Usually when you want to get rid of a widget you will long press it and it will kind of pop off the screen and you can drag it to the trash can. However if you look at the screenshot I provided, that weather widget on my lockscreen if you long press it nothing happens at all. There's no way for me to get rid of it I have been playing with my phone for 3 days now disabling just about everything in the damn phone and it will not go away. I just want a regular old lock screen with no frills and nothing on it. just like the one I had on my note 2.

will you try something for me? From your lock screen, I want you to swipe it open but touch the screen just below the notification bar and see what happens. If I swipe it left to right in the middle of the bottom of my screen it will unlock the phone. If I swipe it at the top of the screen where the clock is it will swipe over to a different page that has widgets on it. I have went into my settings and into my lock screen settings and disabled everything even the widgets and it is still there.

Just tried it. Just below the notification bar and to the bottom of where the clock/weather would be, nothing happens when I swipe left to right. Below that, swiping left to right opens the lock screen as normal.

Check out these pics. When I swipe at the top of the lock screen like I asked you to do, you can see a WHITE BOARDER around the time. When I swipe that, my lock screen slides to the right and I see a widget. When I swipe at the bottom, the phone unlocks as normal. And as you can see, I have EVERYTHING turned off that would trigger that widget.

I doubt it has anything to do with being rooted. I am not but there's probably just a setting somewhere that's flicked on and shouldn't be.

Exactly. I don't like it and I don't want it. I don't want to be able to swipe to anything except to unlock my damn phone. Drives me nuts!
There's a simple solution to this. Don't swipe the top twenty five percent of your screen. That's the only part of the screen that has that issue. Swipe in the giant area on the bottom half of the phone. What you're asking for is to go back a version or two of android. The widget lockscreen is part of the operating system

That's not a solution.
so·lu·tion [ sə lsh'n ] 1.way of resolving a problem: a method of successfully correcting a problem or difficulty
My problem is that the screen exists. A solution would be to get rid of it or disable it from being available as a choice.
And, I am NOT asking to go back a version of Android. I'm looking for a workaround to remove that "part of the operating system" or disable it.
Surely, if one can manipulate an OS to be able to load different ROMs, Kernels etc.... it can be manipulated to remove the widget screen rending the lock screen a TRUE lock screen.
Go get an iPhone. They have useless lockscreens. The widget lockscreen is insanely useful, if you don't like that clock widget then put another one there, for instance I have a widget there to constantly be able to control my music and o have it set when I swipe the screen to the left my camera is right there. It's like that to make your life easier. I don't even understand why it annoys you, a "true lock screen" as you say would have you only swiping at one specific point on the screen, as long as you swipe anywhere but the upper part of the screen your phone unlocks fine. You were literally just asking to have a way to get into notifications without having to use the lockscreen, if you ask me that's not a true lockscreen either.

Not just you. I have it too. Very annoying. Completely stock, no root. I turned on multiple, but now when off it stays with the same widget as yours. Trick is not to turn it on ever.

OP asked for assistance. What you are offering has a lot of definitions, but helpful or a solution is not one of them.
Hi everyone, has anybody encounter a tiny bit of lag when you unlock the device using pattern screen lock?
And I realised sometimes when I exit an app, the device will have a 'loading' text displayed on the center of the screen.
Has anyone encounter the above mentioned issue?
Thanks in advance.
anybody ~~?
I've encountered the Loading text when I exit an app and go back to the stock launcher but not when using a third party launcher.
Don't know if its cause im using a icon pack to change the stock launcher icons. My wife's V10 doesn't seem to have the Loading screen pop up or lag but she's not using a lock or themes
Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk
Just a split second delay maybe when unlocking. But not long enough to be an issue.
I always make sure I have apps closed out constantly though.
I couldn't stand the loading message. Not sure which thing got rid of it but I have no lock anymore and I finally don't see the loading message anymore.
Seems to have been associated with the fingerprint unlock / knock code unlock I had setup.
