don't flame me....maybe a stupid Q.....but still a very annoying use problem, that I can't figure out:
meny times In a middle of texting/browsing or using an app....I'm disturb by something else......and the phone goes to standby>>>>....OK?
The problem is : that when I wake it up....I have to do all the way to the specific last app/sms
is there a way to customise that wake up ? so it will take you directly to your last action?

yes I use widget locker & and yes the app is still running >>> that is not the point :
My problem is that I have to brows few screens to get there
for example if I read an article?....and the screen turns off?
I have to open my browser again and find the icon first >>>>> instead of getting right back to the original article >>> when I turn the screen on
think that you are on windows and the screen goes to sleep ?
you are moving the mouth......and ? landing to the same place
simple no ?
I can't figure it out how to apply that on my phone
Take widget locker off, personally I don't see the benefit of such things.
You touch the home button and have the options on the lock screen to call etc. But with the likes of no lock, when you touch the home button, it will open at your last app, or your home screen where you can text call from, same thing! Yes?
Anyway I posted this today, quicker and will have the result you want...

U may have changed a setting somewhere, because whatever screen was active on my phone when the screen turned off would also be active when i unlock the device. And when I say active, I mean if I was on a webpage and the screen turns off, when I unlock, the webpage is the first thing I see

The benefit of widget locker is that it provides me with the type of lockscreen that I want on my device, and the benefit of Android is that I actually have that choice, just as you have the choice to not use it as you don't see the benefit...

One thing that really annoys me about my X2 is the fact that when it's idle and I want to use it, I have to first slide my finger left to right to unlock the screen, and then put in my security pattern to use the phone. It's a little redundant and stupid to have to do both. Now that I"m rooted, is there a way I can remove the initial left to right swipe screen unlock?

There's a free app in the Market called No Lock. I have it, and it works great!

Ah that's right, someone mentioned that before but I wasn't rooted at the time. Thanks.
EDIT: Actually that takes both things off, I only want the initial sliding unlock removed, I still want to enter my pattern...
I found AntiLock which does what I want but is kind of shoddy... it shows the home screen for a split second before making you enter the pattern, and there's no emergency contact button down below. There has to be something else out there.

I use No Lock; put MIUI on my wife's nook color and No Lock was bundled with it. Seems to work well.
No Lock doesn't do what I want though, I still want some security in the form of the pattern lock. I just don't want the stupid left to right swipe screen, it's pointless.
I've scoured the internet for hours, still no answer.
I have Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, and I want to change my lock screen so that it isn't just what the home wallpaper is. This is what I do:
Gallery->picture I want->menu->more->set as->lock screen wallpaper
I'll then size the picture, and select, "save". Then the player says that it is setting the wallpaper and then the window goes away. I assume that means it's set it. However, when I go to the lock screen, nothing has changed.

Have you tried using different lock screens? When I tried that it didn't change my pattern lock background, but it did change when I switched to the default 'swipe glass to unlock' lockscreen.

That worked! Thanks so much!
I really wish I could use my pattern lock with it, but hey, I've got nothing to hide.
Dude, you probably should of left it alone! Some of us have done it, but there is a bug where there is no option to change back to homescreen wallpaper! This means you can't have a live wallpaper on your lockscreen, but I don't like live wallpapers anyway so Im okay.
[Q] How to remove "2nd" screen on lockscreen? Widget? (Attached Screenshots)
With my new note 3, I noticed when I turn the screen on and pull the lockscreen down, another screen pops up with an accuweather.com widget attached to an "Upcoming events" calendar. At this screen, if you swipe from right to left, another screen is available with shortcuts on it. How can I disable this 2nd lockscreen? Many times throughout the day I swipe my screen to get into my phone and I end upbringing up this 2nd screen by accident.
Secondly, I have another issue with the lock screen. On my Note 2, I would get a notification... email, facebook etc. from the lock screen I would pull the notification bar down, touch the notification I wanted to look at and the phone would leave the lockscreen and take me to the notification. however, with the note 3, I'll do all of the aforementioned and nothing will happen. I have to swipe open the lockscreen and THEN I will be able to see which notification I selected. Is there anyway to correct this? I hate having to swipe the screen open to see the notification I selected from the notification bar.
I have forcefully uninstalled accuweather widget and 2nd screen is still there. I have disabled all widgets from the lock screen and its still there. I don't know what else to do. Any help is appreciated.

I don't know about your situation but if I swipe my "first" lock screen left to right, I never see the second screen.

1.) Don't you just long press the said lock screen widget and trash it? The only lock screen widget I can't seem to trash is the favorite apps but it doesn't bother me. I don't use it but it doesn't bother me.
2.) I also would like to see if there was a immediate work around with this but it is my understanding this is how the mop flops and it is what it is.

Literally the first setting under lock screen in settings is to disable this... Did you look there? Just click the on switch to off for multiple widgets...
As for notifications, it's to prevent pocket unlock, I don't think there's a way to disable it

you are correct. Usually when you want to get rid of a widget you will long press it and it will kind of pop off the screen and you can drag it to the trash can. However if you look at the screenshot I provided, that weather widget on my lockscreen if you long press it nothing happens at all. There's no way for me to get rid of it I have been playing with my phone for 3 days now disabling just about everything in the damn phone and it will not go away. I just want a regular old lock screen with no frills and nothing on it. just like the one I had on my note 2.

will you try something for me? From your lock screen, I want you to swipe it open but touch the screen just below the notification bar and see what happens. If I swipe it left to right in the middle of the bottom of my screen it will unlock the phone. If I swipe it at the top of the screen where the clock is it will swipe over to a different page that has widgets on it. I have went into my settings and into my lock screen settings and disabled everything even the widgets and it is still there.

Just tried it. Just below the notification bar and to the bottom of where the clock/weather would be, nothing happens when I swipe left to right. Below that, swiping left to right opens the lock screen as normal.

Check out these pics. When I swipe at the top of the lock screen like I asked you to do, you can see a WHITE BOARDER around the time. When I swipe that, my lock screen slides to the right and I see a widget. When I swipe at the bottom, the phone unlocks as normal. And as you can see, I have EVERYTHING turned off that would trigger that widget.

Exactly. I don't like it and I don't want it. I don't want to be able to swipe to anything except to unlock my damn phone. Drives me nuts!
There's a simple solution to this. Don't swipe the top twenty five percent of your screen. That's the only part of the screen that has that issue. Swipe in the giant area on the bottom half of the phone. What you're asking for is to go back a version or two of android. The widget lockscreen is part of the operating system

That's not a solution.
so·lu·tion [ sə lsh'n ] 1.way of resolving a problem: a method of successfully correcting a problem or difficulty
My problem is that the screen exists. A solution would be to get rid of it or disable it from being available as a choice.
And, I am NOT asking to go back a version of Android. I'm looking for a workaround to remove that "part of the operating system" or disable it.
Surely, if one can manipulate an OS to be able to load different ROMs, Kernels etc.... it can be manipulated to remove the widget screen rending the lock screen a TRUE lock screen.
Go get an iPhone. They have useless lockscreens. The widget lockscreen is insanely useful, if you don't like that clock widget then put another one there, for instance I have a widget there to constantly be able to control my music and o have it set when I swipe the screen to the left my camera is right there. It's like that to make your life easier. I don't even understand why it annoys you, a "true lock screen" as you say would have you only swiping at one specific point on the screen, as long as you swipe anywhere but the upper part of the screen your phone unlocks fine. You were literally just asking to have a way to get into notifications without having to use the lockscreen, if you ask me that's not a true lockscreen either.

Not just you. I have it too. Very annoying. Completely stock, no root. I turned on multiple, but now when off it stays with the same widget as yours. Trick is not to turn it on ever.

OP asked for assistance. What you are offering has a lot of definitions, but helpful or a solution is not one of them.
Hi guys, I just got a le max pro (x910) but there is no forum for it. Still, I believe it is running the same OS and EUI as Le max 2 (6.0.1 and EUI 5.6.x)
To my question: I hate lock screens so I disable them. If the fingerprint reader were better I'd seriously consider using it to unlock the phone, but it isn't.
My problem now is the "second" lock screen on this phone. Not sure if this is an andorid thing or an EUI thing, since I haven't used android 6.0+ before.
Essentially, I need my home screen to appears when I click the power button. Is that possible? Currently, the "lock screen" that appears after hitting power is a screen with time and camera icon. I don't need this. Can it be disabled SOMEHOW?
Thanks
Hello!
You can do exactly what you want with Lockscreen Disabler in Xposed. It will disable the lockscreen and when you press the power button, the home screen is shown.
As you may know already, you must have a custom recovery, be rooted and have Xposed installed. Then download the module and enjoy

Is this new in Android 6 or an issue with EUI? On my Sony Z ultra with android 5.1.1 disabling the lock screen is right there in the options.
I'm not sure whatever the problem might be. If you said that you need somehow to disable the lockscreen because you can't, I took it for good and I found a solution for you
I've tried to remove it without Xposed and looks like in Settings you don't have this option. Keep in mind that different OEM's do have various options of customization that might not be common.
Hello everyone, I´m new to this, but I just got an LE S3 last week at a really good price! (take into consideration that I live in Mexico) and found the same problem mentioned here, after lots of researching the web and tinkering with setting, antivirus and lock screen apps on play store and factory resetting phone, I got rid of the ``second lock screen´´ wich is very annoying to me, and not to mention all the ads that popped up every time I unlocked the phone, only for it to come back as soon as I connected my phone to charge it! Very Frustating!
And then I noticed, since I had changed the home and lock screen wallpapers to pictures of my family, I noticed three little white dots on the upper left corner of the screen, almost imperceptible, just like the ones on the web browser to deploy a menu!! I hitted it and a warning came up `` do you want to disable Locker?´´ I hitted Disable and that did it! Now I´m able to just go to my home screen with the Finger Print unlock or Pattern unlock.
It was hard to notice the three little dots since I had not changed my wallpapers, I was using the factory galaxy/nebula look alike wallpapers, which are very cool but have scattered white dots all over and tricked my perception of the Locker Icon.
Hopefully this can help some of you to turn off that annoying extra screen.
Cheers!!
