Settings--->Lock Screen & Security--->Other Security Settings--->Advanced and under Advanced there is an option called "Trusted Agents"... there is where you will find smart lock!

May be you have "Smart Alert" feature turned on. Go under settings and then motion. Basically your phone will vibrate to tell you if you have any messages or massed calls waiting for you.
For second thing May be you're taking about Smart Stay. It is under settings, display. It will keep the screen on until you keep looking at it.

Yep that was it... Thanks!
The bug that affects the s3 and note 2 works on our at&t s3. If you use a pin for security on your lock screen, you can bypass it by hitting...
- Emergency call
- Emergency contacts
- the home button
- the power button
It takes some timing on the power button but if you keep trying you will get it. It makes the lock screen disabled until reboot and also the notification bar doesn't work but is quite a security flaw.
This is verified on my bone stock unrooted s3.
I have seen this posted in the international s3 forum but not for at&t, so I figured I would share

This only affects touchwiz.
Yeah, guess I'll have to move to cm or another aosp based ROM. Security is sort of a big thing for me. This is sad though I would think Samsung would be pushing a fix quickly with the whole safe for enterprise thing.

Lose the phone... first thing to do is change google account password.
Hopefully Samsung patches it soon! (Already posted in the S III General forum.)
Hmmn I am unable to repro I can get close. I can get back to the home screen without actually unlocking but almost instantly the password screen reappears

It takes some timing on the power button. It took me about ten tries but eventually worked.

I've just confirmed that this actually works (unfortunately).
Now that this method has been publicized on the web, Samsung and our carriers WILL have to roll-out an update (such as 4.2.1) with immediate effect to remedy this flaw.
For an apology, they can also add the Premium Suite in the update for the rest of us who have been ignored.
Has anyone tested this after updating Lookout Mobile Security to the latest version? It's supposed to provide a temporary fix.

I just got a new Note 10.1 2014. I haven't yet rooted it though I plan to.
There must be a simple answer to this though I can't find it.* I have three Note 2s, a Note 3, and have been routing phones for many years going back to early HTC Windows phones. But alas I haven't found what must be a self evident to most.
How do I get rid of this persistent constant Samsung advertisement for the Note 10.1 features.* When I go into sleep (by this I mean push the power button briefly -- not power off) or close the lid so the screen goes dark, within a few seconds the screen starts up again with this never ending advertisement that begins with a helicopter flying and then proceeds with video of every feature of the device - at least from Samsung's perspective. So last night I put the device to sleep with a full battery charge and didn't realize the screen was reactivated by this b annoyance and was on all night even though the cover was closed. In the morning the device was off with zero battery.
I don't know if they consider this a screen saver or what but I can't find how to turn it off.
Can someone help?* Thank you very much.

Might be that you have daydream feature and it came with a small demo of the tablet's features. Check under display settings to see if that's the problem.

Thanks, I checked the daydream feature under display setting and it is off. So this is something else. Any other ideas?

It sounds like it's in some type of demo mode. I've never seen what you're describing including the first time I turned it on out-of-the-box. Did you buy it open-box or as a former floor model? You might want to try a hard reset and see if it's still there afterward.
It is using it as a screen saver. Set wallpaper. lock screen - and change/stop it...
Check under device administrators too
I think changing screen saver might have been the way to go and would probably have fixed it (though I don't know). But I did a hard reset and all is now right with the world. Thanks for all of your help guys. I appreciate it

Just like the title says, am I the only one to have an overly sensitive lock screen? Using AOSB ROM and whenever I'm using the pattern lock screen and I want to unlock the device, halfway thru I'll be cut off. At first I thought maybe its because I have disabled the ability to see the pattern, so I enabled the ability to see if there's any difference and sure enough I'm still getting cut off while I'm inputting the password. I have the same ROM for my Galaxy Note 2 and Samsung Tab 2 7.0 and its not appearing in either devices. Using this tablet for its 4th day so far so I'm not sure if it's a device issue or because I did something to my tablet.

I just recently updated my tab s 10.4 to lollipop and noticed that when unlocking the screen the playstore comes up. Is there anyway to disable this "feature"? It's quite annoying. I've looked around in the settings and found nothing....
It's not a feature it requires you to update Google services!
Wish it were that easy... I was kidding about it being a feature. Anyhow all updates have been done. It doesn't happen each time I unlock... seems to only happen after an extended screen off time.
