[Q] Help unlocking home screen - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I have somehow locked my home screen and cannot get it unlocked. Whenever I try to remove an icon when I hold my finger on the icon "screen locked" message appears in the status bar.
I'm using go launcher and go locker and I think it has to do with one of those programs but I can't find the setting.
Can someone help me figure this out?

At the home screen, hit the menu button, swipe to the right all the way and there should be an option to unlock.

Thanks. That was driving me crazy and I don't remember locking it. Guess that is how to remember!
Thanks again.

Tap and hold is not working

Hello everyone,
I'm using my phone with CM7 mod. I want to remove widgets and icons on home screen, trying to tap and hold specific icon, but nothing happens, phone just vibrates a little bit and that's it.. Tap and hold is not working only on home screen, in the menu it works. So please, if anybody knows the solution, i'll be very grateful for this.
Which launcher are you using?
click menu, then more and uncheck lock desktop

Lock screen menu button - purpose?

So what's that menu button on the bottom right for in the lock screen? When I press it, nothing happens. Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not.
You can't explain that. Really, anyone know?
It's just a weird bug. If you have an app running that has the menu button (not ICS-optimised), and lock the screen, the menu button also appears in the lockscreen as well. I think they already fixed this in the latest OTA though.

if you have an app open that uses a menu, you can access it directly without unlocking the phone if you do not have a pattern unlock.

I don't think so. Whenever it appears and I press it from the lock screen, nothing happens.
do you have a pattern or pin unlock? based on your screenshot id say you do.
That menu shows up using certain launchers, such as ADW.

Home button vs lock button press when screen is locked and no lock screen security

Hello,
I've been using my new note 2 for two weeks now.. and I like it so much
I also used sgs2 and 3 before.
I'm not new to android.. I flashed roms, know every single setting in the device, rooted my sgs2 and tried lots of apps to customize them.
Regarding my issue, I like to set my device to none screen security because I always manually lock it with a press on the lock screen button after I do whatever I want to do with it, and to unlock I always press Home button to get back to where I was immediately without the need to swipe the lock screen.
The problem is when I lock it and there is an app running and then press the home button the screen goes to home default screen and do not just unlock the screen and keep it there where I was last, this was not the case with my sgs2 or sgs3.
If I press the lock screen button instead it does what I want but I prefer to use home button because its much easier.
Its not a big issue but its annoying sometimes because sometimes I get popup notification windows while the phone is locked (whatsapp for example) and I press the home button to see it and instead of just turning on the screen to see the window it goes back to home screen and the popup is gone, or in cases where I'am writing an email or reading something and meanwhile talking to somebody, if the screen gets locked, If I press the home button everything is gone. So I have to switch tasks to open my activity again.
I don't know if this is a jellybean issue or hardware (homebutton).
I know its not a big deal but I would appreciate if somebody can help get around this

It seems to be a jellybean feature no way around unless a mod comes out...
All jellybean roms in Note I had this feature and i remember seeing this thing on SGS III jellybean too
Just install the S Voice app , "voicetalk_NLI.apk".
In S Voice, set "double click active S Voice" will fix the issue.
This actually worked! Thanks
But the problem is that i use another app (home2) to control home button which makes me able to control what app runs when double clicking home or even use a combination of home with back or menu.
Its a very good app if you want to try it.
This leaves me with trying to deal with my original issue tho or just return to old factory setting

[Q] Swipe Screen Not Working

Hi Guys,
My swipe screen suddenly doesn't work today.
Normally when we press power button or home button, it will suppose to open up the lock screen then we swipe it which will unlock it into home screen.
But this morning, when i press the home button or power button, the lock screen came out and it go into home screen in 2 second without me swiping it to unlock it.
Anyone has this issue or know how to fix it?
I did set my phone to swipe lock at the setting.

Setting - application manager - all-settings - clear data
But this also reset your other setting which you have made and have to set it again.

Cheers.
Thank you Dr. Ketan.
I do it one by one...clearing all the app data and fixed the problem...
It is so weird...any reason why it done that.
oh not all setting but in appl manager,there are three tab Downloaded/Running/All (you can see it by swapping screen to Lt)
so i said 'All' - settings
I got it now...
but i still need to do it manually by clearing all the cache file on the all setting
I got it all fixed after clearing them...What happen?
Some glitches from other apps or setting?

Lock screen/wake up issues

Hi everyone,
I am on BlackBox 1.0.2 and I'm having some issues. First off I keep on getting this screen/widget and when I wake my phone up, it always goes to that screen even though it is not my home screen (I attached the screenshot). When I restart my phone it goes away. How can I make my real home lockscreen the one that pops up when I wake my phone up?
Also, sometimes I press the home button or the power button to wake my phone up and nothing happens and it just restarts or wakes up after like 10 seconds. I used to have a Android Weather widget on my lockscreen and when I removed it it got better but it is still doing this. How can I fix this? Also, what weather/time widget do you suggest for my lock screen?

Which lockscreen are you using? Look like swipe? If you want it to go to straight to home screen choose none for lock screen
☞ Sent from here☜???
Oh no no. I want my lock screen-home screen to be a different screen but the screen that I posted keeps on poping up and that automatically becomes my lockscreen-homescreen. The screens that I am talking about are all when the phone is locked.
Thanks

Tap and hold on whichever lockscreen widget you wish to be default, and drag to the left of your screen and make that widget the left-most "screen" in the panels of lockscreens.
Thats the problem, I cant drag it further right. I cant edit the screen that I posted at all. It goes away when I restart the phone but it soon comes back
