Lock Screen = Bad

Anyone know how this can be changed? The motion of having to drag the wallpaper off the screen is pretty lame.

I've been searching for this.
Edit: Adding a lock pattern overrides this or you can look at getting one of the lock screens from the market.

Its the same as the infuse minus the puzzle... Which i miss
.sorta.
Use widget locker?

root will do it. I bet if we just delete their lockscreen.apk it'll default to the standard android pull-tabs.
Also, yeah, worst lockscreen EVAR. It's like they didn't even try, lol.
software can, and will, be hacked. no worries.

I personally like the lockscreen. I even had it on my epic 4g by choice.

There's one called Agile Lock that mimics the sense 3.0 lock screen pretty well, plus lets you put any widget you want on it! I've been using it since yesterday and no wake locks/force closes anything weird. I got the paid version, not sure about the free version.
But yeah, I hate the stock lock screen.

Yeah, only the paid version allows you to change the widgets but you can accumulate points on the free version to unlock the feature...at least that's how it was when I last used it

Really? I hated the fact that the pin didn't override the lock screen on my Photon.
Why would I want to worry about accidentally activating the screen (the purpose of the lock screen) when I already entered a security pin?

The lockscreen is better then the one on the 8 lock mod on the epic..

I have to agree, that ugly swiping off the wallpaper really seems like they didn't even try. The default Android lock screen is much better.
I went out and bought WidgetLocker just because it was so bad.

i just wished we could at least change the picture
i love the shortcuts for missed notifications

try:
Settings
Display
Screen Display
Lock Screen Wallpaper
Lets you choose whatever you want!

I used this as my lockscreen wallpaper LOL:

Anyone notice quite a lag between hitting power and the screen actually turning on? I just plugged the phone in, and it was MUCH faster to turn on. When I unplugged, same lag. I will test more when its fully charged.

[Q] "TAP" to unlock app or mod

I used to have an app on an iPhone that allowed you to just TAP anywhere on the lock screen to unlock rather than having to slide the slider bar.
Looking for something similar for this device. I want to be able to tap ANYWHERE on the lockscreen to unlock it.
Widgetlocker allows a "TAP" on a single very small spot on the lockscreen but not "anywhere" to unlock. Close, but doesn't quite get the prize.
Also, is there a way to have the lockscreen stay on longer then it does?
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Try "tap tap app". It uses your proximity sensors, you can just swipe your fingers over the sensors. It's not the same as using the lockscreen but similar

Thanks but that doesn't unlock the screen it just wakes it up. you still have to slide the slider to unlock.

[REQUEST/SUGGESTION] Slide to unlocked BEFORE pin/passcode

One great thing I love about the E4GT, is the ability to slide to open new message, missed call, etc. Now, I am from a Cuban family, and Cubans tend to be pretty nosy sometimes xD, and force of habit makes me put a pin lock on my phone. Whenever I do, I miss the ability of the TW4 slide to unlock, and the slide to notification. So just wondering if there was a way, could a dev make a file to put in somewhere on the phone to bring back the slide to unlock before the password, or incorporate this into a ROM? Just a suggestion/request.
And if someone wants to take this further, maybe incorporate a way for sliders to pop up for push notifications?
I'd do this myself, but I'm no dev.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

huh..wtf..wow
So you have nosy people in your life and you want them to have access to your messages, but not any other part of your phone???

No no no. If you put a password lock on your phone, it will disable the standard swype to unlock, which includes the slide to open notifications. What I'm asking/suggesting is to somehow make it so that enabling the password lock will not disable the swype to unlock.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

+1
I would also like to have this ... my company's security exchange server protocol requires a pin to unlock my phone, I would like to have the "swype to unlock" screen before I get to the keypad where I enter the pin.

I've been asking for this and same notification volume level as ringer volume level lol
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

You can easily just do this with Widgetlocker. Just install it, download SGS II theme and set the security pin. By doing so, when unlocking with widget locker it will take you to the security pin screen instead of unlocking your device.
Give it a try.

MiLocker is another free one.

In still confused on the part about your noisy family...

Thanks, I've actually already tried it, but there is a nice considerable battery drain, ontop of no more slide to notifications for texts, etc. , which is one of the main things I want.
I actually tried widgetlocker and had it on rotary, and one of the slides opened my inbox, but it always opens somewhere to the middle of my conversations, never to the top, and never to the new message like the standard loclscreen does. And the battery drain was wayyyyy to much.

It may seem inconvenient to you, but I spend all day sending text messages back and forth, and look the difference in steps.
As it is now:
On> Password> Home button out of any application I was on that wasn't messages> Tap messages> open the new message.
Now, after what I'm requesting/suggesting:
On> Slide new text slider> Password and bam! I'm at the message.
Huge timesaver for people who send text messages back and forth through the day.

My 3 dots are on the lockscreen when I lock the screen

It happens when I lock it from twitter. Maybe other apps as well, unchecked though. Here is a pick of the reproducible problem
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

The option dots. They hold no function when pressed
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

it's a bug in ICS that displays the menu buttons when on the lockscreen. it's not suppose to happen. most likely they'll fix it in an update eventually.

If u use ADW EX home launcher that 3 dot menu on lockscreen unlocks the phone by just pressing on it.

If I don't go back to home screen before I lock. I have the 3 buttons displayed. These seem to override the slide to unlock. This is not really an issue tho I suppose as slide to unlock isn't secure anyway
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I assumed it was a feature. It only pops up on slide to unlock setting and I always use that instead of sliding when I have apps open.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

But isn't slide to unlock supposed to be a more secure lock over a none lock to prevent accidental phone unlock in your pocket? That's the whole point of "sliding" to unlock, not "pressing".
If that really is a feature they should give us an option to disable it. But I still think its a bug.

How often is something in your pocket going to find those three little dots and hit that specific part of your phone to unlock it..?
Better yet.. how often is your phone screen even on when in your pocket?

This always happens when locking when you are in an app
Or in browser....sort off shortcut feature tap it and you are right back in the app that is open at the moment

I think u missed my point.
It defeats the purpose of "sliding".
Why not just have ONE unlock button instead of sliding and 3dots?, since both have the same function.

Isn't Android about choices? Couldn't I chose to tap the 3 dots vs sliding all the time?

That's what I said, I hope ppl joke when they say it's a feature. Otherwise its sad to see "unwise" individuals on XDA (no offense to anybody).
I know this bug might not bother many, but I really want stock Android to be more polished and not half baked.
I hope OTA update is coming soon with fixes for all these little/big bugs.

Why do you care so much? It doesn't matter if people think it is a bug or not if it is a bug it will get fixed. It doesn't make a difference if someone thinks it is a bug or not because either way it will be fixed if it is.

Vibration for notifications

I searched and could not find anything regarding changing the vibration pattern for an all stock note 2. Mine will only vibrate in a single long pattern, no matter what I set it to in the settings. I like to use the stock messaging because it's compatibility with the lock screen but I'd really like it to vibrate in a couple short pulses instead of that single long one. If I'm missing something I apologize but I have no idea what to change aside from the options in the settings menu. Any help or other information would be much appreciated, I'm sure it's something silly I'm missing anyway!

Go to settings- sounds-device vibration u can chabge it to a few different patterns

I am not sure! That is how the note 1 default notification vibrate was, the single long pulse. The sms mms one was a quick twin pulse, I'd prefer that! I like how the sms app works with the tw lock screen and launcher etc so I don't want to use another one if I can avoid it. I wish it would allow me to use a different vibration setting because my phone is silent a lot! I asked samsung and they gave me the ringtone answer. The service from the online chat is weak.
