Trouble with unlock screen

Had this phone for Two days now and LOVE it. Way better then evo 3d I had. Only issue I have is I struggle to unlock it every time. Maybe the size maybe the touchwiz screen. Either way it makes me crazy. Anyone make a suggestion of a different lock screen that is stable and won't mess up the excellent battery life.
Btw I have no interest in rooting but don't mind buying an app if needed. Also I have no issue with other parts of touchwiz just the lock screen.

I use widget locker. You can set that up any way you'd like. I have the stock aosp lock screen. Does wonders.

Widget locker allows you to customize the lockscreen with a ot of different options. So the AOSP lockscreen is when you slide the icon across to unlock you phone. It is Androids stock lock screen that ships with Android if Samsung or HTC wouldn't add their own.

Agile lock is pretty good too. It gives you a lockscreen similar to sense 3.0

I replaced my stock lock screen with widget locker and haven't experienced any problems (including battery life). It could be that people using widget locker are placing battery intensive widgets on their lockscreen.

Yeah I haven't had any problems with battery life or any slow downs either. This phone handles the battery and speed well. You can set it up however you like, the possibilities are endless. You can even download themes. I just like it so much because I don't have to use the original lock screen for our phone.

Thanks again! I downloaded and have been playing with widget locker and love it so far. Only question I have is ... Is there some way to get rid of the icon in the notification bar that shows widget locker ongoing. I keep thinking there is something I have not checked and it kinda bothers me. Tried to find a setting to get rid if it but no luck. Thanks again

Personally i am against to all these battery drain weather/clock widghets ....i dont think they are even stylish. Google search bar FTW
If i had to choose one then i would go for Simi Clock.

Non removable Google search bar was the reason why I have to use non stock launcher ;-)
The good widgets have options so you can define how often to update weather, or disable it completely. I had to try MANY until found one I like.

Beautiful widgets is sufficient.

Here's a silly question - now I've removed the Google search bar to see what it looks like off, I've decided I prefer it on. How do I get it back?
I can't enable the app or redownload it. Is it gone forever, or is there an option I've missed?

You turned it off like this - Settings>Apps>All>google Search >Disable ?
Well, turn it on the same way! Disabled apps go to the bottom of the pile IIRC, so it won't be in it's usual alphabetical order position.

JB Stock Browser Quick Controls

In case you are a fan of the quick controls in the stock browser and on the newest JB 4.1.1, they revamped the browsers quick controls. I feel they added more functionality to it. Check it out if you are interested. In the stock JB Browser go to settings/labs/ and enable quick controls.

Its too bad chrome doesn't have these quick controls, reaching the address bar at the top with your thumb is a pita.

Yeah quick controls are the bomb. Been using them for while.

Agreed - This and the full screen mode makes the stock browser my favorite too!
Haven't tried the new Chrome yet, but last time I checked there was no full screen mode.

No!!!
Quick Controls are terrible.
Idea is good, but...
Either they must be much bigger. My thumb covers ALL the menu. Or... menu must not disappear when I release the finger.
Browsing between tabs is terrible as well. Thumb picture are so small..
Stock browser is good. It's fast and stuff. But controls - NO WAY!
Opera still rocks. Even if it's slow, formatting is wrong etc. But still Best GUI ever.

Even though I initially liked these, I realized that my case (Otterbox Commuter) prevents me from swiping in from the side, so it makes these very hard to activate successfully.
Back to normal controls, I suppose.

it is similar to the one we have now, just that it has like a multiple page support type of lock screen with widgets. so the main lockscreen page is there and if you swipe left or right, there is another page with widgets from what i have seen

Seen this on android central feed, I like it a lot but my only gripe is the fact that the stock LS collapses it. I would love if it can stay "open" all the time instead of having to swipe down to see missed calls or texts. And the damn settings button always shows as well.

Works very well, i like it.
May be more options will be included in the next upgrades.

i'm using it as well, you should try battery ext from play store.

Good question.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

It uses Yahoo Weather, as stated, and apart from adding the extension it should just pick up your location. I didn't have to manually add it. Whether it is done by GPS or Mobile Network location, it just seemed to take for me.

This used to happen to me . Then i disabled the option to use home screen widgets in lock screen from my custom rom menu.
But now there is a new version from this app, that allows your homescreen widget to have full transparent background.

Yes i just updated recently, now how can i resize the overall icons and texts? They're so big... and i have to slide down to see the rest of the notifications.

I wish there was support for Whatsapp too.
Also,
I hate having to manually expand the widget when it's set to default.

There is one. Search for dashclock extensions on the play store.
I love the widget. Its fantastic. The only issue I've had is refresh time. I don't know if its there app or what, but I had a missed call yesterday morning. Even though I cleared the notification and even called them back it never went away from the widget. Hope he fixes it soon

Did you have a solution for this issue ? My LockScreen also take 2/3 from the Screen, so i cant see the full DashClock

Unless you have some sort of Lockscreen control built into the ROM, and enabled maximize lockscreen widgets or however it's worded, then there doesn't seem to be a way to force it to max size. Unless someone has found another method, which I am eagerly looking for.

I'm loving this, but the weather doesnt seem to show for me. Even tried defining a location in the default clock to see if it was connnected.

looks nice...
