Hello,
I'm not sure what the name is for the second lock screen but a lot of times when I try to wake my phone and get to a text message or email or the browser, it wants me to go to a screen where you can probably add some apps but not fully open the phone but I just find that annoying as can be. It has a little plus at the bottom. I NEVER want that I just want to always fully unlock my phone when I swipe the screen.
Is there a way to do that or what am I doing wrong that it brings me to the second lock screen?

Settings > My Devices > Lock Screen
Uncheck "Multiple Widgets"
Also, go into "Lock Screen Widgets" and turn "Favorite apps or Camera" OFF, though the above option should disable this entirely.

I have the stock 2.3.6 rooted on my gNote. Is there any way to remove or disable the "Swipe screen to unlock" screen? I have Go Locker installed which has a nicer, configurable screen but for some reason the stock "Swipe screen to unlock" appears so I have to swipe it, and then swipe again on the Go Locker screen. I tried AntiLock but that didn't seem to resolve it!
The only way I found to stop the default swipe screen was to install No Lock. However, that might disable Go Locker from running as well. Try it though. Hopefully it works out well for you.
I use Widgetlocker. It's pretty cool. You can use multiple unlocks to go directly to an app and more customization.
Works for me.

I had a custom rom'd Skyrocket and Infuse for some time so I don't remember the stock behavior. The 'extra' lock screen after Widgetlocker's lock screen was bugging me as well. There is a lockscreen timeout setting in display/settings that I don't remember seeing in my other phones. If you exceed the threshold timeout period, then you will get the lock screen to enter your pin/pattern. But if you are within the timeout, then you will get the regular 'swipe' screen instead. I've tried a couple of WL settings including the one that says 'auto swipe' but that screen remains.

If, by any chance, you have the JKay Deluxe Setting option on your custom ROM, then, you also need to select no lock option on that (Golden Android app).

Yeah, WidgetLocker can't swipe that screen for you yet, but I found if you set it to IMMEDIATELY lock so the lock (pattern, pin, whatever) is always shown, you only get WidgetLocker followed by the lock. If you don't want the lock every time you turn on the phone (like myself), Delayed Lock will fix that, I have it set to "5 minutes after power off".
However, I've noticed a few times I've unlocked and the lock did NOT show, so I'm paying closer attention to it. I've twiddled a few settings in Delay Lock, maybe that'll help. This setup worked perfect on my Nexus One.
I think it is pointless to press the home button (maybe a few times) for the finger print verification. THEN I have to swipe my finger??? really? Seems redundant. I've looked in all the settings. Is there really no way to turn the swipe off?

Do you mean the swipe to unlock you would use for the lockscreen if you didn't want any pin security?
I don't have my Edge yet to check, but in all the videos I saw it unlocks as soon as it recognises your finger. Have you set Fingerprint as the "screen lock type" in "lock screen and security"? I think it is possible to use the fingerprint for paypal etc while using a traditional screen slide-to-unlock.

No, I have fingerprint security on. So you press the home button, it verifies you. Then it takes you to the lock screen where now you have to swipe. It should just take me to the launcher. ready for what I want to do. Why should I have to then swipe the screen???

I agree, but what you are describing isn't what reviewers are showing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Kc4NgYS1rs
This is what made me think "screen lock type" may still be swipe, and it may just be authenticating your fingerprint for use other than the lock screen, such as paypal.
The only other thing I can think is something is enforcing the security, might be worth checking if any software is set as a device administrator. Exchange email can enforce security settings too.
Otherwise we will have to wait for someone with an edge to double check for you.

Does not work like in the video for me. I have to swipe after the fingerprint. Or if it has been authenticated very recent I power on and just swipe.

Not sure if maybe you set something up different than I did. But I go from fingerprint to launcher. No swiping or any extra steps.

Can you check your trusted agents on other security options?
I'd like to verify if it goes straight to launcher when off and prompts for the additional swipe when on.
Settings -> lock screen and security -> other security -> trust agents.

That's strange. I have smart lock enabled, but when I unlock with fingerprint it takes me straight to the home screen. Only when I'm connected to a trusted device do I have to swipe to unlock.
I changed my screen lock timeout..
Just needed to go to secure lock settings --> secured lock time
Set to immediately.

Agreed. If you're phone isn't actually locked. It goes to the splash./lockscreen where you have to swipe to go to launcher. If the device is locked(fingerprint locked) then unlocking will go straight to launcher.

Yeah seems stupid to me -- so now when I am home I have to swipe when I am used to pressing the fingerprint scanner anywhere else ... should just go to home page. I just turned it off so its always fingerprint
i have a iphone5S on freedompop, you just pay for the phone and get you free 200 talks, 200 texts, and 1GB data free every month without monthly fee.
on iphone5S screen, it showing "slide to unlock".
you can slide to unlock or just put your thumb on fingerprint scanner and it automatically unlock.
on samsung s6 edge, when it showing "swipe to unlock", you must swipe to unlock, it wont unlock if you put thumb on fingerprint scanner.

Search for secure lock settings, it's a setting that you can set a timeout period before requiring fingerprint scan..or make it always require fingerprint..

It really is annoying! I think Samsung's fingerprint scan does not integrate well with Android's SmartLock features.
The only solution for is to disable all SmartLock features to avoid this trouble.
I really don't need to dismiss "on body location" yet one more time. Is there a way to turn off these things that appear unbidden at the top of Settings?
I'd like to stop these annoying messages too. Anyone know how to turn them off?

It took me awhile, but I think I've come across the solution.
First, you need to set up some kind of screen lock (not just swipe). I just used a "z" pattern. Next, tap on that annoying nag at the top of settings. This will lead you to some blah-blah. You need to enable this useless feature (which probably does not work on the NT anyway....) and then reboot.
Return to Settings>Security and look for "Smart Lock". Disable on-body-location. Now go back to your screen lock setting and return it to what it was (swipe, in my case). Reboot.
So essentially you need to enable the feature, reboot, disable the feature, reboot, and you're good to go.
Go to Settings and if the nag is still there use the three dots to banish it. It's gone for good :laugh:
That worked. Thanks a ton for the tip!
Hi all,
I recently purchased a Samsung A21s, running Android 10, for my wife and set it up so that when she pressed the power button to use it it went straight to the home screen. No Lock Screen at all.
She wanted to try the Fingerprint option so I set that up however she did not like it so I deleted her Fingerprint. Now I cannot find out how to bypass the Lock Screen, she how has to swipe to unlock. There is no "None" option either in the Lock Screen Settings, cannot remember if there was originally.
At the moment I press the power button, swipe on the lock screen, and it takes you to the home screen.
It used to:
Press the power button and it takes you to the home screen.
I just cannot figure out what I did initially to bypass the Lock Screen altogether. Can anyone stop me from going mad?
TIA
No ideas anyone?
I would really appreciate any input at all.
Try this go to Settings < General Management < Reset < Reset Accessibility Settings if that doesn’t work choose the first option Reset Settings.
Thanks for the suggestions, however neither solved the issue.
How to change the setting to get to the home screen, without swiping. Go to Settings > Lock screen > Lock screen type, and from the list select None.

Unfortunately there is no None option in the list.
Sorry if you tried that already, then I'd say the phone might need a software update.
If the software is up to date, lack of the "None" option, might have to do with a finance app, such as Google Pay, Samsung Pay, or banking apps. I think they have to have a lock screen, if you have a finance app installed and active, that might be why the option is hidden.
Related to this, I notice there's a toggle setting called Security policy updates. It's in Biometrics and security > Other security settings > Security policy updates. I'm not sure exactly what that does, but I'm assuming limiting options in settings, to comply with app security, might be part of it.

Thanks for your reply. I have no finance or banking apps on the phone so I guess this is not the cause of the missing "None" option. I still think it was related to me enabling fingerprints and then disabling it, though I'm not 100% sure. It is just do annoying. Have also contacted Samsung who "jumped" onto my phone to have a look around and they were unable to find the cause as well.

Have To Tried Resetting Your Device ?
No I have not. Just don't want to go thru all the setup and installation of apps and settings.
My previous Sony had an option in the Display/Settings for running apps and games to run in full screen.
There is no such option on the Xperia 1 IV. I have several apps and games that are having black bars and not full screen.
What methods are there of forcing apps and games to run full screen???

It's a shame, I remember with my old Sony Xperia 1 Mark II, there was an option under "display" & then "display apps in full screen, apps that did not display full screen had the option to use full screen as normal.
Also there was an option" double tap to wake" which also appears to be missing in the Xperia IV.

You are correct, this option is for the "double tap to wake" option, it's just worded differently than the predecessor, thanks for correcting me.
