I installed Good Lock from the Galaxy apps store and it's working great of course except tapping on the secure folder icon (screenshot attached) does nothing. Tap+hold does nothing either. Is this just me or for anyone else?
I've been wondering the same thing ever since Good Lock spontaneously installed itself on my phone this week. The first time the secure-folder quick-settings icon is tapped following a reboot, the icon shows a brief animated response, but nothing else happens. Subsequent taps don't even produce the animation.

Anyone else have this problem with the icon in the status bar of the talkback icon showing up in settings saying that it is on?
I check the settings and it is definitely off but the icon remains.
I've restarted the device and reset the icon by turning it on and back off, but eventually the icon finds itself back on randomly.
It's pissing me off.

Same problem here . Usually happens after a restart. Only way I get rid of it is by enabling it and disabling it again (though operating in Talkback mode is a bit of a work and takes a bit of understanding of how to operate...like using using two fingers to swipe the screen and double tap instead of a single tap to select an option. Hence I would not recommend my way of getting rid of the icon, unless you know what you are doing ).
Samsung should really come up with a fix of this annoying bug.
Happen to me as well until I uninstall all apps that use this method to push notifications.
I.e. go launcher notification plugin

I have a SGN2, unrooted. It runs Android version is 4.1.2. I use a utility to toggle on/off the lock screen, "SwitchPro Widget". My lock mode is "Pattern Lock".
SwitchPro works perfectly in toggling many of the state variables. I notice a "bug", but I don't think it is attributed to SwitchPro - I think it might be of Android.
Situation where things work properly:
Assume that I have the lock screen toggled off (no security set). Occasionally I get a notification, for which I can slide open the Notification window for a listing of all current notification. If I close the listing, without opening any individual notification message, then the lock screen remains toggled off. Good, no change as expected.
Situation where things mysteriously change:
Assume that I have the lock screen toggled off (no security set). Occasionally I get a notification, for which I can slide open the Notification window for a listing of all current notification. If I select an individual notification message from the list, then the lock screen mysteriously toggles on, and demands me to enter my unlock pattern code, before viewing the individual notification. The is bad - what is causing the lock screen state to be toggle?
Has anyone else encountered this?
Any ideas on how this can be remedied?
You could try simply turning off the security in the android settings, instead of trying to use a widget to do it.
Most apps that claim they can turn off your lock settings, usually can't. Android won't let them do it permanently. If you reboot, you will need to re-run the app, but before you can do that, you'll need to enter the code.
You can however, simply go into the android settings and turn it off manually. Then it will be permanent until you go back and turn it on again.

I have encountered this numerous times and it can be frustrating. If you are rooted, you can install Xposed Framework and install the Notification Direct Launcher module. This will prevent this from happening, works like a charm.

2 days ago I started getting a strange lock screen on my S3. I noticed it when my alarm went off in the morning. There was a plain black and blue lock screen. When I swiped past it, my alarm showed up. When I dismissed my alarm, my normal lock screen showed up (complete with the normal unlock pattern dots.)
This new lock screen doesn't show up all the time. Maybe 2-3 times per day. I think, but I'm not sure, that it's being triggered by the phone going to sleep. Turning the screen off and on only triggers the normal lock screen. The new lock screen never overrides the default lock screen - it's just over top of it. Also, it looks like if I disable lock screens altogether in settings, the new lock screen goes away.
I've uninstalled all launchers except Lightning Launcher and TouchWiz. LL's lock screen is a separate app that I do not have. I've uninstalled all lock screen replacements that I know of (I only had Widget Locker). I checked the list of recently updated apps to try to figure out if it's a new "feature", but nothing. I've checked the list of running apps, along with apps that automatically start up on load and I don't see anything strange.
Does anyone know of a way I can determine how to figure out what this is? I'd like to get rid of it.
I'm running StockMod ROM 4.3 (rooted). A screenshot is attached.
Thanks.
Hi!
Does StockMod ROM come with the Active Display feature? Because what you are seeing might some kind of Active Display...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2450697
I didn't see Active Display, but I did notice that Dynamic Notifications was enabled. Not sure when or why. I turned it off and I haven't seen anything pop up since. Hopefully that was it.
Thanks for your help!
Alright, so I was setting up my ls990 and during the setup of everything (apps/widgets/screens/you know) I managed, or perhaps my phone managed, to simply stop displaying lock screen shortcuts. I know what you may be thinking, no, there are no passwords, knock codes, pins, locks, mods, extras, or anything that *could* cause this.
It's a simple swipe to unlock, that's it, there are shortcuts 'set' in the lock screen settings as you'd expect, but no matter what fiddling, swiping, or press-and-holding I try will bring them back. Every last combination of settings and lock screen fidgeting and 'oops I deleted the default circle lock screen widget thingy but found out how to bring it back and also learned how to set the default lock screen page that will show when I turn the screen on'-ing will make them show again... So after on and off and mostly on playing around with it over the last 10 hours or so, and seeing how it is now 5 am where I live, and certainly the tunnel vision has set in or I'm just plain ol' dumb and/or incapable of swiping my own buttons, I'd figure that somewhere in the population of LG g3 owning & xda browsing intelligental(wo)mens there could be somebody to set my plain ol' dumb button pushing straight.
Any ideas?
Posting on the chrome browser from my nifty ls990 via my Wi-Fi connection, tanks.
Well anything? Need smart people please, I'll consider this a bump.
Do you see the Emergency Call box at the bottom? I just had that same issue, and it appeared to be triggered by a lack of signal or going into roaming mode. Setting the device into Airplane Mode brought the shortcuts back for me. Here's exactly what I did:
1. Set the device into Airplane Mode (I used the shortcut from the notification shade).
2. Lock the device.
3. Hit the power button to bring up the lock screen. Verified shortcuts were there.
4. Shut off Airplane Mode (once again, used shortcut).
Let me know if that works...
Hi!
Recently I've installed LineageOS 13 for Samsung S4 LTE (I9505). Everything works like a charm, the phone gained a second life, but...
if I'm on the home screen the notification bar/panel (with all the icons, like GSM signal, battery, clock etc.) is not visible unless you swipe your finder down from the top of the screen. Then it's visible for few seconds and it disappears again and I have to repeat the process every time.
Does somebody have a solution for this? I looked the Settings menu all over but didn't find any option that would control it.
Thank you for your time
