[Q] No option to rotate screen horizontal by touch and not sense?

I truely think the sensor of this device (sg 2) can be better. how come, there is no option to rotate the screen vert and horiz by touch or key?
Please help

It does it automatically when you turn the phone.
I don't think you can lock it in an orientation...maybe if you're rooted, but not stock...
I would love that feature! I am constantly wanting it locked in landscape.
Is there any option where I have an option to choose for which application it will be go into landscape mode . Like i always want the phone to be in landscape mode when i have to type something . The keyboards dosent have such option , or if i am missing something .

HI ,
apart from going to your "pictures gallery" ,to set the lockscreen wallpaper ,have you gone to settings .?(easiest way if you struggling is,)
( settings/screen/screen display/ and you will see option either homescreen wallpaper or lockscreen wallpaper,select lockscreen ,and you will see options, wallpaper gallery or gallery ...!
test it by being straight forward and select ,eg.wallpaper gallery,select one of the pictures ,complete action using "crop picture" ,not any alternative (" crop picture" should be the stock app option ) and it should set lockscreen.?
nb.
afterwards, if you want to ,try again with pictures gallery, but after selecting wallpaper you must "backtrack " all way out of picture gallery and not just close application .!
hope this works for you ,it should

[Q] Security Lock Screen "Password unlock" BUG?

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?

[Q] Enable Lockscreen Widgets on S3 Without Root

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.
