so.. i've noticed that when i first used my Galaxy S4 w/the Watchon lock screen widget, i could set a password and it would still show up as a panel on the lock screen.
however i am now unable to get the watchon screen to show on my pattern lock screen. is anyone else having this problem? it was working fine yesterday w/my pattern password.
i have messed w/a ton of settings being a phone geek and all but i cannot get the WatchOn to show back up on the Lockscreen w/a password set. Yes, i can get it showing with just Swipe set as my security but its so weird i had it and no matter what i do i can't get it back. (disabled daydream, etc).
any ideas?

2 days ago I started getting a strange lock screen on my S3. I noticed it when my alarm went off in the morning. There was a plain black and blue lock screen. When I swiped past it, my alarm showed up. When I dismissed my alarm, my normal lock screen showed up (complete with the normal unlock pattern dots.)
This new lock screen doesn't show up all the time. Maybe 2-3 times per day. I think, but I'm not sure, that it's being triggered by the phone going to sleep. Turning the screen off and on only triggers the normal lock screen. The new lock screen never overrides the default lock screen - it's just over top of it. Also, it looks like if I disable lock screens altogether in settings, the new lock screen goes away.
I've uninstalled all launchers except Lightning Launcher and TouchWiz. LL's lock screen is a separate app that I do not have. I've uninstalled all lock screen replacements that I know of (I only had Widget Locker). I checked the list of recently updated apps to try to figure out if it's a new "feature", but nothing. I've checked the list of running apps, along with apps that automatically start up on load and I don't see anything strange.
Does anyone know of a way I can determine how to figure out what this is? I'd like to get rid of it.
I'm running StockMod ROM 4.3 (rooted). A screenshot is attached.
Thanks.
Hi!
Does StockMod ROM come with the Active Display feature? Because what you are seeing might some kind of Active Display...

I didn't see Active Display, but I did notice that Dynamic Notifications was enabled. Not sure when or why. I turned it off and I haven't seen anything pop up since. Hopefully that was it.
Thanks for your help!
Has anyone else run into the issue of your music widget not displayed (while playing) on the lock screen?
Whenever I've actively been playing music via Google Play Music (on S2, S4, and S5) I've had access to the widget on the lock screen to skip, pause, etc.
Currently, I don't have access on the S6. I've also tried doing a factory reset and still no luck.
Anyone have any on the fix?
If you're using a lock like a pin, pattern or fingerprint, you need to allow all notifications to be seen on the lock screen. If you have them blocked or set to only show which apps have notifications waiting, you won't get the widget on the lock screen.
I accidentally activated the 'guest' account and when I switched back to my normal account the screen lock had been activated in swipe mode. I don't normally have screen lock switched on but there isn't a 'None' option in the screen lock options any more. I'm on the stock 5.1.1 rom on a P605.
Can anyone help ?
EDIT Solved it. Switched off 'dual clocks' in clock widget options and 'None' reappeared
Hi,
Under screen lock I marked swipe.
It stopped working.
When I press the lock button, the screen just appeared like the none option is marked although the swipe is marked.
I have tried the following:
Restart
Shut down
Change user to guest
Clear credentials
Change to password and change back
After changing to password go to smart lock and make sure there are not trusted places
After changing to swipe the smart lock option is grey like it is set to None.
Any ideas?
Thanks
I recently updated to the latest ElementalX kernel (1.15) and am experiencing the same issue, lock button doesn't lock or wake up screen, gestures work fine though.
Edit: After hard resetting the lock & wake functionality is back to normal!
I have good lock installed and haven't had any issues with it. Today in the morning I noticed my lock screen clock widget is gone. No idea why. I know I switched my Samsung theme yesterday but that was it. Switched back to default theme and same ****. Haven't touched any options in settings so no idea why it happened. I still get notifications in lock screen.
I even tried to disable lux but didn't do anything.. tried shutting down phone etc
