Since the 5.01 update on my Verizon Note 4, I can't find the volume options on the lock screen. I used to be able to hold the power button and get options to mute/vibrate/sound.
How do I get this back or what are the other options?

You have to use the pull down menu from the status bar and toggle through the sound options.
Hope this helps.
I miss that feature of Kit Kat too but now I'm getting use to this alternative.

The pull down menu only shows current notifications in the locked screen. There are no volume options.
I do get this option when it is unlocked. It took a little while to find it.
The physical volume button doesn't even work in the lock screen.

I can toggle from lock screen. I just pull down from the notification area and press the sound toggle.
Hmmm. Are you with Verizon? I wonder why I don't have this option?

long pressing the Volume Toggle brings up the volume controls.

I'm on Verizon. Don't know if it makes a difference but I had to sick it up and do a factory reset after the upgrade because of so many issues. Mainly the terrible battery drain.

Back in WinMo days I was so happy that i could disable lock screen because I find it very annoying, I really don't need it.
So I was wondering is it possible that when I press power on button that it automatically goes to home screen without need to unlock it first?
I have found few mods for that, but whatever mod(or app) I applied it would also enable power on by trackball or any other hw key(menu, home..) what I don't want since I can accidently press those keys in pocket and than my battery will drain usless!
I have found the mod I need, but it is for EVO 4G, maybe it needs little modification so that it can be applied to our Desire?
on some ROM's you get the optionj where you unlock via power button.. and for the lock screen you can just use Menu button.. I use it.. and very easy, better than the vanilla lock screen
hope this helps!
try searching for No Lock in the market. works dandy for me.
yea same, go with no lock, also has a handy widget

Not working
Is there either an app to completely eliminate the lock screen?
I'm running CM and there is an option to unlock by pressing Power>Menu or through gestures but either way that's an additional step - just like my rotary unlock.
There's an app in Market called No Lock that does the same thing.
What I want is just press Power and I'm at the home screen. No 2nd buttons, no Menu button, no sliding, no gestures.
And since I know this question will come up, no I'm not concerned about dialing or anything else, capacitive buttons/screen, remember?
Plus I have a case that bevels over the Power and Volume buttons so... yeah...
Thanks!

Hey man, its already built into CM. One of the options for the Notification Power Widgets is to Toggle the Lockscreen. Just set Toggle Lockscreen as one of your widgets in the CM settings, and click it and you can completely turn your lockscreen on and off.

Wow, how'd I miss that..?
But I see it allows you to turn the phone on w/ the volume buttons too... That's not good b/c I usually switch tracks w/ the volume buttons when the phone is in my pocket or when I'm driving - especially when I'm driving.
Any way to only let the power button turn the phone on?

I'm sure that you know this as you are a much more senior member but unrevoked will take care of that for you.
I used 3 on mine with the same hardware and hboot and it worked like a charm.
there is an app called No Lock that will do this for you.
No Lock works great...

Ye.. I said in the OP that I know about No Lock. The problem with no lock is that, just like the CM no lock option, it allows the phone to be woken up by the volume buttons too. Something that's a major deal beaker for me.
SUPERSONIC via xda app
Auto Unlock. Only the power button wakes the phone. Sometimes, you will see the lock screen flash on before it's dismissed.

Hi people, im having a little issue with widgetlocker on my samsung, when im at work and the phone is in my shorts the power button easily gets pressed, and that will trigger the unlock screen, and then if the power button is still pressed it will shut off my phone, so is there any way to disable that? Or select a new key to get to the unlock screen?

There is an option in the widget locker settings that allows you to disable this.
Open WidgetLocker, hit the menu key and scroll through the settings. you should see it

Sorry I meant to say "SwithPro widget"
i always just use the volume buttons works for me
Press one of the volume buttons, then press on the icon next to the bar.
You mean from the Notification Menu when you say "drop down menu"? Try using Notification Toggle.

But this is still very inconvenient. Is there a quick way to do it from the lock screen without actually unlocking the phone?
Hold the power button for a couple of seconds, you should get a menu called Phone Options with silence, airplane and power off as options.
I cannot lock or wake up the device. HOWEVER, double tapping the power button works. Does anyone know what's going on?

sounds like you installed an app/xposed module/rom/kernel that might be responsible for that, or at least one of it's settings. is that possible?
My phone is completely stock. No mods of any kind.

did you enable "press power button twice to open camera" in display settings? if so, disable it and try again.
Disabling that feature results in a completely useless power button.
