Unlock screen help - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I have been using a pattern to unlock my phone when the screen turns off.
All of a sudden I am now first having to swipe a picture that looks like a lock to the right and then use my pattern to unlock the phone.
How do I get rid of the lock swipe so that I only have to draw my pattern?
I have attached a pic of the lock screen that I am trying to remove, not sure how it was turned on

[Q] Lock screens?

I have the phone set to pattern lock. So when I turn it on, I first have the HTC slide down lock, then the actual lock screen.
Is there a way to disable the slide down lock and only have the pattern lock screen appear?

I think you can turn it off in settings but if not try no lock from the market

Can't seem to find any option for it. Looked under just about every area I can think of.

Swipe Lock screen question.

Hey all- I've been using the HTC EVO for the last couple of years and just got the Galaxy S3 on Verizon last week. I'm trying to figure out how to do something on this phone that I was able to do on my EVO, and that's to have separate time out values for the Swipe Lock screen vs. the PIN password lock screen.
I sync my phone to my corporate Exchange server and they enforce the PIN lock screen, which is OK with me. I've set the timeout value to maximum settings (13 minutes), but what I still want is the ability to have the swipe lock screen enabled for anytime I turn off the phone with the power button and then turn it back on so that I reduce butt dialing, etc... But I can't seem to configure the swipe lock screen to come up except for it to come up at the same time the PIN lock screen is activated.
In the security settings, there's the option to enable unlocking "With swipe lock-Use secured lock with swipe lock" and I've selected that, but the swipe lock screen only appears when the PIN lock is configured to display. I want the swipe lock screen to appear independently of the PIN lock screen. The swipe lock should appear anytime I turn on the phone, but the PIN lock screen should only appear after 13 minutes of inactivity. The EVO had this option, but I can't seem to get the S3 to do it.
Any ideas?

Disable Default Lock Screen

Is there any way to get rid of the redundant ring pull lock screen? I'd like to be able to just have my pattern lock be the only thing I need to access the phone and/or keep it from turning on in my pocket.

It is possible to unlock the pattern screen without the pattern

I have a sunia, stock 5.1. It has pattern activated on the lock screen. Sometimes it is possible to unlock it without the pattern.
How did I do it?
I leave a notification on the lock screen, I swipe fast (from right to left) to dismiss it. Then I swipe from bottom to top and phone unlocks. Usually this has to be done in one fast movement.
Another way is having a music player notification (I tried with soundcloud). On the lock screen, drag from top to bottom. The notification gets bigger. Pull the quick settings panel a couple of times, then touch the notification and the phone unlocks without the pattern.
Can you guys try this and see and confirm it?
