Lockscreen shortcuts? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I hv seen a photo in an article abt G3 on phonearena yesterday and noticed that some versions have lockscreen shortcuts in display settings, but mine has not! Can anyone confirm with which version has that feature?

It depends on which unlock method you have enabled whether the shortcuts are available. They won't show up if you are using knock code.

Yes. It appears in swipe to unlock mode only. Actually it should still have been there but greyed out if others activated.

[Q] How to make dash clock full screen?

Hello
Looking around the Web and everything, I notice dash clock takes up the whole screen and it looks good. But when I unlock my phone, it only takes half the screen and the other half is taken by the security pattern or pin code. When I swipe down the pattern area goes away and it takes the full screen. Is there anyway to make it full screen by default? Thanks!
The attachments below explain what I'm saying if I made it sound confusing!
I'm running 4.2.1 supernexus 2.0 build 2

Thanks for the quick answer. But there is no options option in cm10. The way I find my lock screen is I go in security and there is lock screen options there. So you're saying it has something to do with my ROM? It's pure nexus so if it works on nexus 4 and whatnot it should work on mine also
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
i thought everytime u use security pattern or passcode for unlocking lock screen it will squeeze the widget like that
His answer is correct, you have to choose "maximize widget" on cm10.1, pure nexus might not have something like this since they often port features much later than CM10.1 nightly. Wait until next update or use cm10.1 nightly.

Note 3 text msg on lockscreen

Hi just got my note 3, and I would like to ask my fellow xda members if they know how to access the text msg received from the lockscreen. Like on my note 2 I can just swipe the msg (envelope icon) fromthe lockscreen and it will directly open the text msg. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Yeah. Not sure why they are adding more useless features and removing the ones people actually used.

That sucks, the one that note 2 has is better easy access. Even the favorite contacts widget is gone.

I tried double tapping on the lockscreen when a msg arrives and it works, but its a hit and miss thing.

I use a passcode. When I get a message, I click on it and enter my passcode and it opens.

Here's what you do, when you get message or call put your finger on it and slide down than you will see a white box surrounding a square then click on the message and it will go ..it's the same thing you do with your clock widget to show the weather on the lock screen

Oh I see. I'm using pattern so I can't do that. I can't see an option to swipe then enter a pattern to unlock. I had that in my S3 with shortcuts on the lock screen.

settings> device> lockscreen>turn on personal message>inside personal message select edit personal message. There are two boxes that you uncheck to remove the clock and the date from the lockscreen. Hope this helps.
I tried this but it didnt work for me, tried skiding down the msg and I does nothing

The thing about the the new message on the lockscreen is you can do the same thing by just swiping down on your notification bar and clicking on the message from there.
This is so redundant and useless.

Can someone tell me if that's normal.

OK,
So my nexus 7 have been rooted and unrooted a lot of times, I know how the process works.
And I don't think my problem comes from there also.
Yesterday I unrooted the device , I flashed back the factory image, the latest one, all went well.
And today I changed the lock screen widget with another one, but I noticed one thing , the kitkat lock screen shortcut to access the camera was gone.
So I deleted the widget and got the stock clock back on he lockscreen hoping it would solve my problem, but it didn't.
So I did a factory reset, and still not there.
Since I had no chance with the method that I took I reflashed the factory image, and still not there.
Like you see in the picture there is no camera shorcut at the bottom of the lock screen like its supposed to on KitKat.
What should I do?

Yes. You can enable lock screen widgets in the security settings. It's not going to automatically add a camera widget though.

Is there a quick way to get to home without using the home button?

A gesture or another Shortcut? I tried setting it up using Nova but I couldn't find a way to add the shortcut

I added the side panel which does the job. Wish it had a transparency setting, though. I'll have to look for play store options

Because you can wear out the button? I've had to replace iPhone home buttons for this reason

I recommend people check out Swipe pad which gives you very easily accessible sets of shortcuts.

I like it. I've switched to that. My only gripe is that I would want to cut down the number of portals that shows up. Sounds like I need to get the add-on for that
