Hey guys. I just got my sgs4 last night and I got 2 questions coming from an sgs3 how can I swipe on the lock screen before entering the password? The sgs3 had that as an option. Last question how can I get rid of the notification on the lock screen for text messages? Thanks.
Press text message icon and swipe to unlock screen

I'm confused as to what you mean? I have a password and when I go to unlock my phone I don't get to swipe anything. On the sgs3 there was a check box in the lock screen settings to enable swipe to unlock while having a password and curious how can I get that or why that option wasn't in the sgs4
I guess it's just something stupid that really isn't important. I do need to use a password tho because I can't trust guys at work when I leave my phone in the truck and it's pretty sad :/

why i can't drop down notification bar in lock screen? I'm using version 4.0.1
If you have any of the security settings on you won't be able to do use the drop down bar. You have to set it to use no unlock password.
i'm not using any unlock password. i'm using slide to unlock.

Which is there to prevent you from accidentally activate something else, like the notification bar.

one of the features of ics is being able to drag down the notification bar from the lock screen. I use slide to unlock and this feature works fine for me. to op.. are you on a custom rom?

Works for me with slide unlock as well.
I am on 4.0.3 custom rom (Axiom) though. I was not on 4.0.1 long enough to see if it worked then.
I'm using Slide to Unlock and I can pull down the notification bar on lock screen to see what's in there.
OP, try activating a secure lock method (such as password/pattern/pin) and then switching back to the slide to unlock...
my last experience is, for some weird reason, if i do not have a simcard in the phone, the notification bar will not slide down.
once i got a sim card in, it start working.

i'm on stock rom!
but Maybe that's why, now I have no Sim Card.
I just installed aokp to my S3, loving it so far.
Is there a way of showing the lock screen slide to unlock when a security method is enabled? When there is no security enabled, I have the little lock at the bottom of the lock screen and can slide it to either open the camera, Google now, or to unlock the phone. When I activate a security method, that goes away.
Thanks
Any ideas ??

i used to use aokp (ics version) on the nexus s, and the functionality was definitely there. look somewhere in rom control?
Tried that but no luck. Will mess with it a bit more.
If anybody else knows how to get it working please chime in!

It looks like it hasn't been added since Aokp JB came out. Just going to have to wait.

If I am understanding correctly you want the Swipe option then you get the Password/Pin field instead of it asking for the Password right away when you turn on the screen? If so go to Settings>Security>With swipe lock

Yes, that's what I want. It turns out this version of aokp doesn't have that option implemented. Guess will have to wait to see if it gets added in future versions.
Thanks though !

so im on CM10,
is there a way to get rid of the lockscreen? im not talking about the screen where you use a pattern, face, password.
im talking about the initial screen where you have to drag the button to the "unlock" button (which then subsequently opens up the pattern, etc page)
so for me, i have a pattern.
but i dont want to use the "slider shortcut" thing to intially drag it to "unlock" THEN swipe my pattern.
i just wanna immediately go to the pattern swiping screen.
is there a way? thx
I know on tw ROMs you go to
Settings>security>screen lock>none

no i want the screen lock (the part where you swipe a pattern)
what i DONT want is the screen BEFORE that....where you have to drag the button to the "unlock" button.
its on CM10
From the play store get no lock app and you good to go.

When you set up your pattern lock (Settings --> Security ---> Screen Lock ---> Pattern) it will have a check box for the "With Swipe Lock" If you have that unchecked you will not have that initial screen.
thanks!!!
next one
1) where is the google now app? if i click the mic button at the top, itll ask me to speak, but i dont see an independant app to click on
It is pretty much just Google and is a g with a blue background

Hey there folks, I was wondering if there was any way to remove the "Life Companion" text which shows up on the lock screen WITHOUT rooting my S4 because I didn't see a setting for its removal? It's annoying to see on the lock screen, so any ideas? Thanks.

You can also drag down from the top of the screen while the screen is locked. A white outlined box will appear. Once you release, a pencil icon will appear in the lower right corner that will bring up an editor. You can just delete the text there, or change it to something else. Be sure to hit save.

thanks for that, its getting close but I don't have the middle option you have only the show all or show none, how did you get the middle one? Ideally what I want and I have it on my One max was when I get a sms that it get the little notification in the top left corner of the screen but I don't have the message contents viewable on the lock screen. any idea how to turn that bit off?
Sorry bro. I don't have m9 yet. Just wanted to see if I could point you in the right direction. I'm still saving money to buy that beauty and retire my m7. Hope you figure it out.

I'm not seeing an option either. You can turn off the pop up message but that seems to be it.

Guys, I think you must have a lock option (pattern/pin) in order to have the "middle" option to hide sensitive content

yeah I noticed that last night. little bit strange as you have been able to have the preview turned off with a pin/pattern just having a lock screen
why must things that work get changed lol
