Has your phone ever taken any water damage? It is desktop clock mode, btw...

Widgetlocker is great.
but you have to pay
I see and there is no trial version to test it, but the app seems nice.

You will not regret widgetlocker. Trust us. Its probably more stable than the lockscreen on my vibrant.

I downloaded it online to test it (and check it works on the defy with launcher pro) and after that I bougt it. Awsome app.
Love to have widget on the lock screen
Ok I'll try it and I must say it's quite cheap after all

Are you guys having luck with Launcher Pro on the Defy? My sister has one and I tried to install LP and it lagged horribly..could hardly even switch screens it was so bad

Works fine for me, actually improved performance a lot, you don't have a live wallpaper on by any chance?

I actually use launcherpro and it's perfect, good performance and nice effects.

Finally installed widgetlocker and I must say that's a great software. The only thing I'm missing is a way to launch it directly from a shortcut; anyone knows if it's possible?

in what respect? can you explain further? Where do you want this shortcut on the lock screen itself or on one of your home screens?
Sorry guys I must be blind: there's a specific shortcut created by the program itself which does exactly what I need
Thanks anyway higgsy ;-)

Is it strange that i don't use the autolocker at all? When i don't use the phone or put it in a pocket, it push the power button. That seems pretty much enough to shut the screen and block the touchscreen.
But the lockscreen would be of use if I often had a risk of something pushing the power button in my pocket...
That may be true, but I find the power button very inconvenient to use and when I need to take a quick look at the watch or missed calls without messing the screen a screenlocker is the best solution.

Will a ROM fix this??

I just got a new sgs2 thru a warranty exchange, but for some reason this one doesnt have a lockscreen. I press the power button and It just opens to my homescreen, also when I hold the power button it just shuts down instead of giving me the lil options of shutting down, airplane, etc. will installing a ROM fix these issues or do I gotta get a new one again?? Thanks

Yes a new rom should clear this up np. the rom im using actually gives you the option to remove the lockscreen all together. the prior user of your phone must have removed the lockscreen.... Either that or they have some shady software program that restores the phones at tmobil.

Ok good, tomorrow im borrowing my sis' laptop so I can root this phone and install a ROM. Hopefully that fixes it.

I wonder if Widget Locker alone is enough to fix your problem.

Wierd launcher popping up when I hit home

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Task manager doesn't show anything. And hitting home doesn't bring up twlauncher
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
That is not a launcher that is clock mode. It can accidently be triggered if you have dust in the USB slot, or if your phone has had some water damage. Hitting home should get rid of it....
i believe that is the clock app, your running ics rom ?
Thanks I'll clear out the usb with some dust off... And no ics

If my post helped, I'd appreciate you hitting the thanks button
***** The real solution*****
It is in doc mode.Reset the phone by taking out the battery all will return to normal.
You can thank me.
If those don't work try wiping your ram with the task manager then pressing home or forcing another launcher on to your phone through Google play site on your comp

I second the dock mode.
Your USB slot may have gotten wet?

lockscreen

i was wondering if there was any way where you dont have to choose a separate lockscreen wallpaper than homescreen one.
im currently on stock and would like to stay on it.. not a huge fan of go locker... i just wondered if there was any other way to get the same wallpaper for both without having to set it twice... slight OCD issue lol ( i swear there was a way around it on the galaxy s 2)
Use Quickpic
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
Just set the wallpaper twice.
If it still keeps you up at night, a shrink will be more useful than a dev to fix the problem.
Oh forgot about that on stock
I thought there was an option in the lockscreen wallpaper to set it as homescreen one?
Sent from the cracked screen of my GALAXY Ace.
go to settings, then display, then wallpaper. select lockscreen and choose none. then your lockscreen paper will be the same as your desktop paper. when you change your desktop paper, lockscreen will match. hope this helps
No option to set same as homescreen one, maybe its because im on the i version :-/ mehh shall probably end up rooting it soon, never takes me too long before i do.. Cm7 possibly

there is NO setting to set the same pic for lockscreen and homescreen. all you need to do is select none for your lockscreen in the settings location I told you to go to. simple as that....
No thats what im saying i dont have the option to do.. It literally says wallpaper gallery or gallery.. Trust me if it said none then i would have clicked it straight away.. I just didnt know if there was another way around it but it sounds like not
