Hi, Just got the Galaxy Mega and am very happy except for the silly design in that the lock screen is only in potrate mode, read here about holo locker (thanks) however there seems to be an issue with holo locker, in that even if i tick "enable security lock" it does nothing? can anyone advise if it a compatibility issue or me?
thanks in advance

I've scoured the internet for hours, still no answer.
I have Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, and I want to change my lock screen so that it isn't just what the home wallpaper is. This is what I do:
Gallery->picture I want->menu->more->set as->lock screen wallpaper
I'll then size the picture, and select, "save". Then the player says that it is setting the wallpaper and then the window goes away. I assume that means it's set it. However, when I go to the lock screen, nothing has changed.

Have you tried using different lock screens? When I tried that it didn't change my pattern lock background, but it did change when I switched to the default 'swipe glass to unlock' lockscreen.

That worked! Thanks so much!
I really wish I could use my pattern lock with it, but hey, I've got nothing to hide.
Dude, you probably should of left it alone! Some of us have done it, but there is a bug where there is no option to change back to homescreen wallpaper! This means you can't have a live wallpaper on your lockscreen, but I don't like live wallpapers anyway so Im okay.
Hello,
This is regarding stock SGS2 i9100 ROMS: both GB & ICS
I'm have being searching for this since ICS went out to our magnificent SGS2 i9100, but haven't had any luck to find something about this problem, which I could call it a ICS bug.
This is what happens, when you set, under settings, the security lock screen to be unlocked with a password, in the previous GB 2.3.?, that we used to have in our beloved phone, it was amazing, you got something like a transparent keyboard which allowed the whole wallpaper to be seen beneath. But, in this ICS when you select the lock screen to be unlocked with a password, under security, when unlocking the phone you get an annoying wallpaper re-sizing and after the PW have been introduced the first screen you get of the home screen is also re-sized. I'll attach some pics to explain better the situation and myself.
Is there any way that we can have the old GB transparent unlock keyboard to insert the password in ICS?
I would really appreciate your advices.
Anyone have an idea about this...? Please
I've no idea how you did that. When I lock my phone I see a different background which is not my home screen background. What settings do I have to change?

Hi, I am having a problem with my galaxy s2 which I was hoping you could help me with. I just updated the firmware to ICS 4.0.3 via Kies but now whenever I lock the screen and then press the home or lock button again the lock screen does not show, I see the home screen or whatever screen I was viewing before pressing the lock button (in settings I configured pattern, PIN and password, but the same happens in all scenarios). I already tried factory reset but nothing changes, could anyone please help? Thanks
You should set "lock immediately after sleep" in security settings.

hello,
Quitte old message but I've the same issue on Galaxy S2 with OS 4.1.2: no screen lock anymore despite security setting. And I've the same issue on SIM PIN lock: despite activation of PIN request, no question after reboot. Just the SIM remain unactive till I give the PIN code in security setting parameters. It look like the software piece for locking is not anymore active ?
Any help would be nice (I tryed to reuse the Galaxy S2 for my son).
Thanks.
Apologies if this has been posted somewhere else. I've tried searching the forum but it's so vast I've not been able to find an answer.
I have an un-rooted Galaxy S3 which I've just upgraded to Android 4.3. I was hoping to be able to use Dashclock to have lockscreen widgets enabled along with the pattern protection I use. However, it seems that Samsung have disabled the ability to have multiple lockscreens and add other widgets to it.
Is there any way around this without rooting my device, which I really don't want to do?
Thanks in advance.

Here is how, but maybe not the solution that you need
Hi! I found that in order to get lock screen widgets to work on a Galaxy S3 you need to unprotect your lock screen by selecting SWIPE as the security screen lock (pattern, password, or PIN protection will disable third party lock screens.) Once you have set the security screen lock to SWIPE you will see the options for third party lock screen widgets.
It is a real shame that Samsung is restricting us from using third party lock screen widgets while using a true security screen lock option.
I hope that this helps.

Well, can you then tell me how to do it? Because as soon as I use any security screen lock other than swipe, all lock screen widgets options disappear and swiping from the left on the lock screen stops working too, so no widgets can be added. Just in case, I am using the TMO flavor of the Galaxy S3.
Hi Guys, upgraded my hubs to a SIII from a SIII mini - but I need to findout where I can setup the following function. Within the phone settings on the mini (android 4.1.2) in the accessibilities/Text-To-Speech/Driving Mode you have the Unlock Screen which lets the phone say whats on the lock screen when you click the power button and tells you what page your on as you scroll through the screens.
But I cant find it in 4.3.... looked in Hands-Free Mode and Accessibilities I need this desperately as the hubs is blind, any ideas where it is or if they have removed this function
