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.

Actually no. U dun have to use only swipe to use lock screen short cuts. Just make sure u enable it to swipe first then type ur password.

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.
I set finger print unlock on edge but somehow, when I unlock the phone it always ask for swipe to unlock instead. Maybe 1 out of 10 or 20 unlock it will ask for a finger print.
Anyone else have this problem! Or know what's going on?

You probably have smart lock enabled. Did you set up an android wear device or other bluetooth device and say yes on the notification for smart lock? Or maybe you set a trusted place?
Whenever I'm connected to my moto 360, I get swipe unlock instead of fingerprint, because screen lock is disabled by Smart Lock.

I do have smartlock on for my 360, but I tried disabling it and walk away without my 360 and the phone still only ask for swipe unlock instead of fingerprint.

Ahhh...that's it
Default was set to 10 min... That's why it always asked to swipe instead. Thanks!

When I wake the phone to lock screen,I have to swipe the screen to unlock, THEN it asks for the fingerprint, how can I bypass the swipe to allow it to unlock with just the fingerprint?

I've got the same issue. None of the above suggestions helped. Did you get this figured out?
---------- Post added at 09:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 AM ----------
Nevermind, I was able to get it by removing all my Trusted Devices. Had like 5 things in there. Tried removing one at a time but it only worked when I removed all of them.
Thanks for the info. I was having the same problem with my S6 but seems to be doing what I want now!!!!!
i am having the same issue..
the fingerprint works fine but when i swipe up it shows me an option to use fingerprint or pattern..
in this screen my fingerprint doesnt work and i have open using the pattern only..
any help guys ??
Another possible solution is to uninstall the "Start" app.
How to uninstall smart lock completely
The method with slide to unlock is redundant and annoying. How to remove slide to unlock?
I'm in the same boat.. every time I try to turn on fingerprint unlock, I still have to slide to unlock.. I'm missing something here..
I don't get it. When you have finger print as your unlock method there is no slide to unlock. They are mutually exclusive, you can't have both.

I have experienced the Slide to Unlock screen when I have a paired bluetooth device that I have listed as trusted. I think this is what these guys are talking about, and it is annoying. I wish it would just unlock to the home screen.
I think you should upgrade to latest firmware, i never got slide to unlock screen when i use finger screen function!
Look attachment!

Slide to unlock shows when you use the smartlock feature to keep your phone unlocked. It's there to prevent you from butt dialing someone.
Go to secure lock settng > secure lock time and set it to instant.
That way every time u lock your phone it will ask for finger print and will unlock right away

This man probably has it, your phone will not go to the lockscreen when fingerprint security is checked unless you enabled trusted devices and are near one. It should in that case simply go to the home screen as it does on most devices when similar schemes are enabled but it instead switches to swipe to unlock making the whole thing not only pointless but more work then never enabling trusted devices at all.
Its either a bug or stupidity, hopefully they get it changed.
Make sure you don't have any trusted bluetooth devices set up. If you do, you'll always have to swipe whether fingerprint authentication is enabled or not.
Aha!

Ha- that actually does work as a workaround, but sorry... What I want (and think OP is after) is to just turn off the swipe.
If the phone if unlocked, show me the home screen.
I want to take the risk of the buttdial!
Use case- pick up unlocked phone, press the side button, see home screen. Not swipe to get to home screen.
Don't know if that's a feature request or a rant or just a bit of both.

I tried to use No Lock Home module for Xposed instead of built in Smart Lock. But it doesn't eliminate Swipe to Unlock either.
I had my S6 set up to just require a pattern to unlock. Worked fine for the first 6 months I owned it. But since I allowed Samsung to upgrade my software, a swipe is needed before it will allow a pattern unlock. This happened to my wife's phone too. Thanks for the ****ing annoying "upgrade" Samsung.
Hey there,
I have to questions...
Can anybody confirm that's not possible to lock the messages/sms
App from Huawei with the app lock feature via fingerprint?
Does anybody know an application where u can set your fingerprint for a standard
Password?
Thanks for help
You can use fingerprint lock for all apps.
Go to phone manager>swipe to second page>more>App lock
where you will get prompt to associate lock with fingerprint.
Also note the dialer, contact, and sms is one single app. So you have to lock the ""Huawei contacts" app.
never new about applock....thanks
Also is there a way that we can set fingerprint for unlock the phone and a pattern as an alternative choice? Because as an alternative unlocking choice is only a password or PIN

I'm really interested on that.
Hope that now that the source of the kernel has been rolled out somebody will find a way to do it
For me even the normal lock screen without any password + fingerprint would be great.
what is "phone manager" ? i'm using the french langage. thanks.
Phone manager is one of the pre installed huawei tools, the icon is like a sheild..

I hope my question is clear.
