I am not sure if it's me, my phone or something I set but under lock screen in settings I have Open popup note on lock screen turned off and it still opens. Using a pattern unlock.
Anyone else's doing this when s pen is removed?

I have my Screen lock set to "Swipe" (the default) but I feel it's too easy to unlock the phone. As well as swiping where it says "Swipe up or down to unlock", you can also pull down the notifications menu and then go into Settings and press the Back button (which unlocks the phone rather than going back to the lock screen, which is the behaviour I would expect and want). Also, if I swipe across to the camera and press the Back button, this also unlocks the phone (again, I expect it to go back to the lock screen).
However, if I change the Screen lock to Pattern or PIN, the lock screen actually functions as expected and I cannot pull down the notifications menu or leave the lock screen via the camera.
Is there any way of replicating this behaviour with the Screen lock set to "Swipe"? In other words, I want to swipe to unlock, but I don't want to be able to pull down the notifications menu or leave the lockscreen unless I have actually swiped to unlock.
Well I think this is the standard and right behavior for all phones. It was the case with the GS2 too. There's no point in disabling accessing the notifications menu when there aren't any locks. It's only makes sense when you lock your device with pattern or pin.
Unfortunately I don't know any apps or modification that can help.

Hmm, OK - thanks for the information. The point is that it is too easy to accidentally unlock the phone - the lock screen should, well, lock the phone. I guess I could have a pattern or PIN unlock but it should be an option to have the same behaviour with swipe.

widget locker has pretty fine control over that sort of thing, including a disable notification bar toggle. i'm not sure if that actually works, though: i'm using delayed lock as well and that overrides some things.
Are there any apps that turn the screen off without locking the phone? I was using following app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock) to turn off my screen (so I did not have to reach for the power button) and it was working great until I added a pin to my lock screen.
Once I added a pin to my lock screen the app turns the screen off but instantly locks the phone even though I have a 30 minute delay set under lock screen security. My work email requires a lock screen through device administrator, so there is no way to get around this requirement.
Are their any apps that turn off the screen that simply follow the lock commands under security?
Thanks for the help

Flash ElementalX Kernel or something similar with swipe to sleep or whatever it's called.
You can just swipe the bottom of your screen to turn it off.
Alternatively you could try Tasker app, and add a shortcut to the desktop or make a ask file.

Hi all,
Is there a way to stop the lock screen from turning ON after a missed call. I'm not talking about the message on the lock screen but the lock screen itself. I just want the missed call to end and the lock screen not to come on at all. Is this possible?
I do want the lock screen to behave normally otherwise.
BTW - S4 Mini is rooted.
TIA
Greg

I never use a lock screen but if I did I would probably use Tasker to get rid of the lock screen when the 'phone' becomes idle. You would probably need the Secure Settings plugin to do it. Probably
This has been annoying me lately but I don't know when it started. I'm running 5.1.1, using fingerprint lock (tried also with pin lock, same thing), with a 10 minute delay of locking after screen off. For some reason, in the lock screen I no longer have access to quick settings, even when the screen isn't pin/fingerprint locked (within the 10 minutes). Was this changed on purpose for "security purposes" and now even when you don't want the lock screen protected, you have no access to quick settings?
Is it just me? Or is that the way it's meant to be/has always been?
Currently I use PIN+fingerprint setup. I wonder if there is a way I can do this:
I turn off the screen using the power button (or the phone turns off after inactivity).
If I turn on the device in x minutes (or hours) using the power button, then the device shows lock screen. Then I just swipe the screen without having to type PIN.
Unlocking lock screen with fingerprint works well, but sometimes it is not very convenient. I cannot use fingerprint when I wear gloves for example. Of course I do know that under Security, there is an option of "Automatic lock", but this is not what I want because it does not show lockscreen at all for entered duration.
Is there any app that allows me to do this?
You can delay the security lock for up to 30 minutes I think in the settings.

I already mentioned that. Under Security - Automatically lock, I can delay up to 50 minutes. But this disables lockscreen at all -- turning off then turning on using the power button yields NO LOCKSCREEN. It brings me back to the screen I was looking at. This is not I want, I want to delay password input but I want to have lockscreen, which I can swipe away.
No Idea?
Well there seems to be no solution I guess. Too bad.
