Cant disable lock screen security - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5

Hi, i put the fingerprint scan on my lock screen to show someone and now i cant disable it, as in I cant go back to not having any kind of lock, or just a swipe. I tried using the pattern lock and no luck. I use my phone for music in the car and i hate having to unlock it. I have never needed a lock for my phone before. Attached is a pic of the screen.

Go to settings, sound and display, then lock screen and change your lock screen security settings.

Figured it out. I deleted all credentials and came back.

is that a serious question?
I use it to change brightness and enable/disable bluetooth when getting into my car.
oops double post.
You do know all of that is available in the drop down tray. Including brightness. Just slide your finger across the tray left and right

not if it's on auto
plus, why not use it.
Maybe the OP doesn't feel like sliding down the notification bar.
To turn on BT I can
1) Hit the button on the power widget on my home screen
or
2) slide down notificiation, hit the BT icon, which opens up the BT settings, click enable BT... then hit back to return to my homescreen.
^ apologies, it just doesn't seem "simple clean" to me.....
"simple clean" is referring to the wallpaper... not the widgets/apps setup
eww, toooo many "samsung" on this phone already. =P
I kind of like it.
+1 to frankencat.
I love the samsung aspect to this phone.

How do I capture a full screen shot?

Is it possible to capture my full screen, to post on-line, instead of just part of the screen,as w/ Drocap2?
I use a app called shootme, you will have to be rooted to use it.

Download screenshot it, it the best app for that and user friendly.

Without root, you can use DDMS from the Android SDK.

I've only used drocap2 but I've always captured the full screen with it. I've been using it for 9 months with no problems. here is my most recent

Cool Thnx guys, I am rooted n nvr tried posting my screen shot cuz it didn't capture the whole screen. But I just noticed some full screen shots (from others) posted on the web, n their previews r cropped, but the actual enlarged picture is full screen.
So will mine from drocap2 look that way to or should I get 'shootme'?
Let's find out:
Oh u just answered my above post. Cool
Cool, it works...Thnx everyone! Guess I shoulda figured that out sooner
I believe most people that have the notification bar chopped off their screen shots are using the sdk method

Screen lock: none - disabled by remote phone administrator?

So just yesterday I decided to put a pin on my lockscreen, and today I decided that its a bit too annoying for me to keep, so I tried removing it. However, it then gave me this:

I've looked around for solutions, and most seem to point to corporate accounts linked to their phone. Unfortunately, that doesn't apply to me as I'm just a university student. I did try rebooting my phone, and removing my uni email in case that had anything to do with it, but it didn't change anything. I'm on KE7, vodafone uk and my phone is rooted.
Anyone else have this problem?

Check your Settings->Location & Security->Select Device Administrators and uncheck any administrators.

Hello,
I am facing the same problem, i just flashed to a custom ROM 2.2.1 and now i can only access my email when i disable swipe.
The solution to remove the admin allows me to enable it again; however it disallows access to my email!!!
Is there anyway to keep it how it was before? Swipe + email at the same time?
Thanks,
Achraf

Default lock screen

I have been using lock screens as a quick guide to dates, appointments etc, I brought widget locker, all fine but it still keeps my normal lock screen on, I'm using a pin code to unlock and I think this is why, I don't use the default lock screen as it does not show and upcoming appointments even though they are ticked, any ideas?
Sent from my LT26i using XDA
I haven't tried this on the S yet, because I actually like the stock lockscreen, but are you rooted? I believe (at least when I used it on my X10) there was an option to bypass or to attempt to replace your lockscreen.
Or do you mean that you already tried that and it's still not going away?
Hmmm, widget locker doesn't give me any problems, just working perfect, the only time I see the default lock screen is after a reboot to type the password. other than that it is running very well.

The default lock screen shows if you have security feature eg pin code, I turn this off WL works fine. I'm not rooted. ..yet

Well I installed the locker again, to see if i could be any help
Apparently, to solve your issue I think you do need root, because there's a "auto-swipe" function that swipes past the old lockscreen when you have that extra pin security set up.

Yup , already seen that ( not rooted .. yet ) . Id rather have the pin code than none at all , so if I have to have two lock screens.
However it would be nice to the default lock screen to show appointments etc, everything is ticked in the options , but nothing is showing on the screen , just the time / date

New FB App killed touchwizz

Just to share my expierence. After upgrading to latest FB app last night, tried to start app, but it said something like "on some android phones you must reboot in order to get all the icons". I rebooted and .... puffffff. Suddenly I got a millions of "Touch wizz unexpectedly stoped", but also for all many other apps. I couldt reach software menu for turn off the phone, so i must hold turn off button for about 10 secconds, in order to turn it off. After I left the phone off for whole night, somehow it worked and i could uninstall FB app, but only through market, not through settings-> applications->organize applications. I would like to know if someone else had same problems.
Simple solution don't use tw use apex launcher miles better anyway plus no fc on new fb update

Can only second the benefits of apex launcher...

I downloaded the new facebook app also, but haven't had any FC's since. The only change that I've noticed is that it adds 2 separate apps to the app drawer (camera, messenger). I'm unable to access the front camera on my phone using facebook's app though.
