So I've been trying to figure out how to get rid of my lock screen...I selected the option to have no screen lock in the settings multiple times though it still prompts the lock screen...I use goexplorer...is that making it still lock(The lock screen is the stock version, not golock or anything)?
Yesterday I switched between sense and golauncher and for both selected no lock screen in the settings, though that still didnt work...lock screen still present.
any idears? Also, is there a way to get pandora planted on the lockscreen...I remember when I was testing the beats with the stock music player, you could change the song and so on from the lock screen...that was nice.
Try WidgetLocker.....it's not free, but it's great.
Oh thanks for the recommendation though I'm trying to get avoid any lock screen, so I can check my phone without encountering the lock screen

I don't think it can be done.....good luck though.
Pretty sure you can, maybe you can see if it works on your phone?
Settings>Security>Set up screen lock> Select "None"
I cant remember if it worked when I first got the phone(when I didnt have goexplorer)..the nexus has the same feature and it was great not having to unlock it all the time...I just dont wanna hafta uninstall the goexplorer and loose all my settings :/
Nearly impossible unless you are rooted.

all that does is remove any security from the lockscreen (pin, pattern, etc), not the lockscreen itself.
Hmm I'm waiting to root after the ICS update...did it not work on your phone(going to the settings and changing the security preference)?

That takes away the pin or pattern screen, not the lock screen with the ring.

ohhh bummerr
I use ADW, and when I have my NoLock app widget set to Unlock, I get no lock screen. When I turn the screen on, it goes straight to the last screen I was on.

does No Lock not work on the rezound? (Though I would assume it uses the same logic as the GO widget...)

Excellent, the golock app works perfectly B]
Has anybody looked at this? Some apps rotate the tablet so that you have to hold skinny side in portrait, which sucks. Would be nice to be able to rotate and hold fat side.
Hoping for that too.
hi
few days ago, i discovered "Ultimate Rotation Control"
There is a 7days (or longer Trial) at google play. I'm not allowed to post Links, so u have to search it by ur self, sure isnt a big deal.
Set it to Force Rotation, and Apps (inclusive market previews) will rotate like u want!
greets nuts
it also is a setting in 4.0 if im correct, could be a cm9 feature
yup
For some reason Sony limited the tablet to three axis'.
However with a orientation app you can use all four.
All of the orientation apps that I have tried reduce the performance of the tablet. Just try one, force an orientation, and try scrolling the homescreen. You'll see how slow it is.
Hmm, with Ultimate Rotation Control, i have no slow downs - its working like ever, only thing is, Apps starting in the right rotation, not upside down .
Until now i'm using the testversion, and its says 18days till end - not 7 as u get told in market. Hoping for ICS, too
However with a orientation app you can use all four.

could u tell me an App what do all 4Axis by auto rotation?

URC works very well for me, but slows my launcher too, what a pity...
Search Set Orientation by Eyes-Free Project on Google Play, is simple and works nice.
Hi,
I have been looking this for long time. So it is possible to access the camera without typing pin to unlock phone?
Because WP7.5 and iOS can handle this but why not Android?
My HTC One X has this. Can use volume keys (i think it's volume keys anyway) to get camera and choice on my xoom to have various apps icons on lock screen. I had the camera taking photos via lock screen on my phone last night until I changed it. I think it was volume keys, I was pretty worn out from insomnia and fumbling the phone when picking it up to use it to pass time while not being able to sleep from pain induced insomnia.

Hmm... I am not sure are we talking same issue... I mean if I want to take picture with camera. I have put that Camera-icon on Lock Screen but if i chose that I need first but pin-code and after that i can take pictures.
u can use smart moves look in settings in motion menu

That is not the answer because if I make that nice smart move to activate Camera. It still ask first my pin-code and after that opens Camera.
So Android can't handle Camera in sandbox mode?
Has anyone found a solution?
i would like to know the answer to this also was a handy feature on the Iphone for sure
Don't think there's a way to do this. The point of the pin is so no one can access any function of the phone without the pin. AFAIK there isn't a mod that bypasses this

Instead of making a new thread i would like to ask is there any update to this?
I know the htc phones are able to do this by dragging the camera to unlock it.
But if someone can develop this for the S3.
I know some people have played around with Sense 4.0 with s3 its still glitchy.
The main reason i want this is so i can take pictures and video immediately instead of having to put my 8 character password in and if there something interesting to record such as a dispute or police brutality or anything really we can pull out and record for future use.
Thanks for reading hopefully someone out there atleast attempts this to see if there is a solution.

Yes, there is a solution even on a password locked phone... try camera unlock : https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Aeropic

You can bypass the pin and open the camera with Xposed framework and a module.
Hi all
I'm very satisfied with my S6 Edge (925F) but I'm facing a weird problem: when I unlock the phone using my fingerprint(s), it works perfectly but sometimes it's not the home screen which is displayed, but another random app, (i.e Facebook, Settings, News Republic or other...)
I have to press the back button to return to the home screen...
Anyone having the same problem? (not a big deal but...)
Started to happen to me as well a couple of days back. It's strange because it never happened before and I didn't change anything on the phone.
Never happened to me so far. Are you sure you weren't already in that app when you locked your device? The fingerprint unlocks into the last open app. Go back to home before locking.
Another possibility is that you are tapping a notification before unlocking. Say you have a notification from FB and you tap on it. The screen will stay locked, but it will open the FB app. Unlocking with fingerprints will then show FB open. Same can happen for email, texts, etc. You can also pull down the status bar and tap settings, then when you unlock, settings will be open.

Thanks but not at all.
It happens randomly, either I'm in an app or not (and if so, it's not necesseraly the one I was on!)
Quite mysterious...
I was using Nova Launcher (maybe the cause), will give 2-3 days Touchwiz a chance, and will report back...
Hey guys,
same problem for me. It is not dependant of the unlock method (i'm experiencing it with finger print or regular unlock).
I think it is a Nova launcher bug, only occur with nova for me.

I think so...unfortunately...
I think it's the latest nova launcher beta version that causes the issue.
I'm using Nova since I got the phone, a month ago, haven't experienced this.
I have been having this problem too and was about to start a new thread. I am using Nova too, though I did try installing the google now launcher and seemed to have the same problem. I suppose Nova simply being installed may cause the problem.
I will try uninstalling Nova and use TouchWiz for a bit. Not sure how long I will last, I think I prefer the random apps to Touchwiz.
How did the rest of you get on after switching away from Nova?
I have been experiencing this issue as well but ive been using the nokia Z-launcher. I have a feeling it might also be my fingers inadvertently touching the curved portion of the screen when i hold it.
I have the same thing happen to me. I thought I was going insane. The worst part is, I'm on a note 3 and I'm using touchwiz lollipop. I'm 100% sure no applications are running before I lock the phone, and when I use the pattern unlock, whatever application shortcut that was on the screen when I lock the phone, a random app from that screen will run when I unlock the phone. It doesnt happen all the time, but it happens at least a couple times a day.
Reason
Hey guys. I am using Nova Launcher too. And I have the same problem. I don't have the sollution, but I found the reason. ? When you lock your S6, the touchscreen stays for a second active. And if you hit an app in that second it will open when you unlock your S6.
Sorry for my bad English, I hope someone can do something with this information.
Cya ??

It seems that if the Nova's desktop margin is set to "Medium" or "Big", this problem is reduced, but I don't know if it's fully solved. Will see...
Have you found any other solution?

I think that has nothing to do with it. It could be true that it reduces it, but the only reason it would do that is because:
Mostly when you lock your S6 your fingers touch the side of the screen.
When you set margin to "Medium" or "Big" and you lock your phone, your fingers wil most likely touch no app on the side of your desktop, because the margin "pushes" them to the middle of the screen.
I haven't found a solution. Still waiting for an update to fix it.

Yes, that makes sense. Anyway, if looks perfectly good with marging set to medium, and I've had no issues with this problem since I changed the setting (yesterday). So if it reduces the problem so much, I can live with it...

Great news, the update I got today (4.2.2) fixed the bug. It was from Nova. I think this ends the thread. Happy new year guys. Cya!
Yep, it is finally fixed! Cheers!
Still happening in the latest Nova... running in Oppo phone.
Is it possible using app like setting datebase editor to change setting to allow full 360 rotation on a non rooted/bootloader locked phone?
I'm currently using auto rotation app which can and is working fine, but I hate the fact it shows in notifications, (if you don't keep notifications system kills the app and won't fully rotate).
I have had a look at setting datedase editor but can't see anything directly but I as I'm not that tech knowledgeable I could be missing something in the app.
I have used this app to disable touch mode(when top sensor is coved by hand/case)
Any advice help much appreciated.
Thanks.

Could you give me a little more details.
I have it set to rotate but it doesn't rotate complete 360° unless I use rotation app.
Sorry I surely misunderstanding you.
On my side rotation didn't works on home screen but on app yes.
In fact I didn't test 360. It's more 90 then for me.
And home rotation works for samsung.
I did notice that if app is rotated in landscape and I'm going to home I can see that home is correctly rotated for less than one sec so it can works but Huawei is bugged or it's intentional.
On my mate 10 pro it was worked on first earlier firmware and was broken quickly after.
On mate 20 pro it's never worked.
On Nova launcher for ex it's works.

I also see the correctly rotated screen for a second!
