I apologize for what I think is a really dumb question. Where is the pin or thumbtack for the S Pen action memo? When I begin an action memo, I don't see the thumbtack or pin icon at the top of the memo next to the check mark and x where I think it is supposed to be. It doesn't show up whether I am starting a new memo or editing an old one. Without the pin, I cannot pin the memo to a screen. I have seen the pin icon when I searched youtube for an S Pen overview. But it is no where to be found on my own memos. Does this function need to be turned on?
Not sure of your setup but I read somewhere that you need to be using the stock TouchWiz launcher. I'm using nova and it doesn't work
I'm stock all the way.
I see a thumbtack. Not sure why you don't. I have all the options in the spen settings turned on.
Yep. You have it and i don't.
Hmmm

That is just strange!
I agree. I cannot figure it out. And, I am an experienced Android user. I have reviewed all settings.
Mine doesn't have a pin either, running apex launcher
On mine, missing pin if using third party launcher, if I switch back to stock TW launcher it's back.

+1 - On VZW. However, I don't recall having the pin/thumbtack when I was on TW.
I just use the SNote widget instead, close-ish

Ok guys, first time Note user here. What does the pin do? I'm using Nova and I don't have a pin either.

When you open Action Memo, a "yellow sticky" appears that allows you to write notes/memos. At the top of the sticky, there should be a pin or thumbtack looking icon that allows you to "pin" the memo to one of your home screens as a reminder. We're trying to figure out where the pin went as some of us no longer have it. I don't recall having a pin when I was using TW, so this may be more carrier than launcher related. Don't yet know.

Thanks, I wondered how you do that.
Actually, if you press and hold on that pin, your note will kind of become a widget and you'll be able to read it from your homescreen. This is only available ehite using tw launcher

Thing is, I am not using a special launcher and I am using TW 100%. No pin. It is kind of a bummer because I'd love to have several notes on a separate screen that I can update at will.

Anyone know how this can be changed? The motion of having to drag the wallpaper off the screen is pretty lame.
I've been searching for this.
Edit: Adding a lock pattern overrides this or you can look at getting one of the lock screens from the market.

root will do it. I bet if we just delete their lockscreen.apk it'll default to the standard android pull-tabs.
Also, yeah, worst lockscreen EVAR. It's like they didn't even try, lol.
software can, and will, be hacked. no worries.
I personally like the lockscreen. I even had it on my epic 4g by choice.

There's one called Agile Lock that mimics the sense 3.0 lock screen pretty well, plus lets you put any widget you want on it! I've been using it since yesterday and no wake locks/force closes anything weird. I got the paid version, not sure about the free version.
But yeah, I hate the stock lock screen.

Really? I hated the fact that the pin didn't override the lock screen on my Photon.
Why would I want to worry about accidentally activating the screen (the purpose of the lock screen) when I already entered a security pin?
The lockscreen is better then the one on the 8 lock mod on the epic..

I have to agree, that ugly swiping off the wallpaper really seems like they didn't even try. The default Android lock screen is much better.
I went out and bought WidgetLocker just because it was so bad.
i just wished we could at least change the picture
i love the shortcuts for missed notifications
try:
Settings
Display
Screen Display
Lock Screen Wallpaper
Lets you choose whatever you want!

ive searched a good bit so if its in the open i apologize. does anyone know if its possible to completly eliminate the stock lock screen or point me to some directions showing how? i know i could just use this that or the other lock screen app but i just really wanna know if its possible to delete that lock screen. thanks in advance, veritas
Try "no lock" in the market

thanks for your reply. i was trying to use the new golocker that the go dev team had released and i noticed nine times outta ten when i woke the phone id have to slide the stock lock out the way and then slide the golocker next. i tried the no lock app but i guess it works to good as it disabled both lock screens. it would b nice to have golocker only. but thanks for the advice.

If you have the lockmod then you can go into the lockscreen settings and set the style to "none".

what 10 second rule?
Its when u shut the screen and immediately wake it again there is a delay bc of android os limitations so widget locker has to wait like 3 seconds before showing.
I mixed up the 3 second android rule with the food fall on ground 10 second rule.

The option dots. They hold no function when pressed

it's a bug in ICS that displays the menu buttons when on the lockscreen. it's not suppose to happen. most likely they'll fix it in an update eventually.
If u use ADW EX home launcher that 3 dot menu on lockscreen unlocks the phone by just pressing on it.

If I don't go back to home screen before I lock. I have the 3 buttons displayed. These seem to override the slide to unlock. This is not really an issue tho I suppose as slide to unlock isn't secure anyway
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I assumed it was a feature. It only pops up on slide to unlock setting and I always use that instead of sliding when I have apps open.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
But isn't slide to unlock supposed to be a more secure lock over a none lock to prevent accidental phone unlock in your pocket? That's the whole point of "sliding" to unlock, not "pressing".
If that really is a feature they should give us an option to disable it. But I still think its a bug.
How often is something in your pocket going to find those three little dots and hit that specific part of your phone to unlock it..?
Better yet.. how often is your phone screen even on when in your pocket?
This always happens when locking when you are in an app
Or in browser....sort off shortcut feature tap it and you are right back in the app that is open at the moment

I think u missed my point.
It defeats the purpose of "sliding".
Why not just have ONE unlock button instead of sliding and 3dots?, since both have the same function.
Isn't Android about choices? Couldn't I chose to tap the 3 dots vs sliding all the time?

That's what I said, I hope ppl joke when they say it's a feature. Otherwise its sad to see "unwise" individuals on XDA (no offense to anybody).
I know this bug might not bother many, but I really want stock Android to be more polished and not half baked.
I hope OTA update is coming soon with fixes for all these little/big bugs.

Why do you care so much? It doesn't matter if people think it is a bug or not if it is a bug it will get fixed. It doesn't make a difference if someone thinks it is a bug or not because either way it will be fixed if it is.

Is there a way to change lock screen styles based on location? (Maybe through something like Tasker?)
My 1 year old daughter has learned how to unlock my phone with the swipe lock screen, so I have changed it to facial recognition, which has adequately secured it from her.
However, when I'm not at home, I would prefer the ease of the swipe unlock.
Is this possible?

I couldn't find definitely that it will allow you to change unlock method based on location (everything else is listed and it's hinted at several places) but you might give SmartShift Lockscreen a try. You can find it here on Google Play.

Thanks for checking. That appears to be a lock screen replacement.
Ideally, I'd like to use the stock lock screen and just update the settings.

Try an alternative launcher like nova. There is no continuous scrolling for the tw launcher as far as I know.

All you have to do is remove the Briefing/similar app located on the first page of the homescreen, and you will be able to swipe continuously.
