Hi everyone...
I have seen some vids on youtube, etc that show what appears to be the standard Galaxy S lockscreen but once swiped or patterned it brings up a numerical password for extra security.
I cant find the option for this in the menu and im wondering id this is an add on or a seperate app altogether?
Does anyone know where I can get this or how I can access this option?
Please advise... Thx.

Can no one here help me or give me advice on this?
not quite sure but could it be they use swipe or pattern + SIM pin?
this is a setting in settings >location and security> change screen lock : choose pin lock method.

My options in settings> Loaction and Security does not have an option for a "pin lock" method only the standard "swype the glass" and the "pattern" lock.
Am I missing something here? I am on Bell in Canada and my phone is an i9000M model... Not sure if that should matter though...
Anyone else?
try pattern lock, I think that is what you mean.

No... Thats not it either. The pattern lock is my lock of choice and I am using it as we speak but once I enter the pattern it just goes directly to the home screen in the phone.
What I am looking for is after I enter the pattern or swype the glass (if that is the lock I am using) for it to take me to a "next screen" that asks me for a password.
I have seen this as mentioned in youtube videos, etc but I have no idea what it is. Is it an app? Is it the SIM Lock screen as someone above mentioned?
Anyone else have any idea?
PS. If it is the SIM Lock thing... I tried to set my SIM lock code and it is asking me for the existing passcode which I do not know. Does anyone know if it is the last 4 digits of your phone number or something?
Please advise...

I'm also curious about that too. I've tried a couple of times and I now know that it's not 0000 or 1234...I still have 3 tries though. btw, I'm also using the i9000m.
Someone here MUST know what I am talking about and how to do it. If its on YOUTUBE then it must be fairly well known...
Anyone?

no idea what you are talking about, only thing that is somewhat similar to what you want, is when you shut the phone of and turn it on and then enter pin code...
-edit-
oh and its a good idea to provide the youtube link you are talking about so we know what the h*** you are talking about.

Here is a weblink. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HY2AsoVRywk you will see that he has something that comes up as "PIN-Code" right after his lock screen.
I am not sure if this is the SIM lock code or what it is but that is the idea that Id like to have for mine. Kind of like the iphone "slide to unlock" but without the gay "slide to unlock" part.
EDIT> Upon further inspection... It DOES seem to be the SIM lock screen after all but firstly, How do you activate this? Secondly Why does his screen look so much different than mine? And thirdly, I tried to activate my SIM lock code and it asked me to enter it and I tried but it was wrong and I do not know th original code so I can change it.
Does anyone know how?
The Guy in the video is entering the sim pin, nothing more!

Right... But as I asked in my previous post... HOW do you activate this screen? I have tried and my phone asks me to enter the code already but I do NOT know the existing code and I only have 2 tries left or something like that.
Does anyone know what the ORIGINAL code would be so it can be changed? Is it the last 4 digits of your phone number?
Please advise...

the original code if you havnt changed it, should be with the papers you got for your simcard.
no it is not the last 4 numbers of your phone number.
and you activate it at settings> place and security, configure sim-card lock

The default SIM lock pin code on my Bell i9000m was 1111. After speaking to a Bell rep over the phone for an hour, I found this out ... a whole hour!
He said it's either 1111 or 2222 for these phones.
strange! here in germany one gets a letter with the sim card. this has nothing to do with the phone. you decide with provider you want to use and make a contract. with the letter from that provider you get the sim and the PIN and a PUK.

When I got my phone from Bell, the SIM was already in the phone and there was no supporting documentation from them with the SIM PIN code. I had to call them up to get it. However it is possible to get the PUK codes from the Bell website once you have an online account.
Hello everyone!
What you saw on youtube is the PIN for the simCard. If you want to go thrugh the hassle of having to key that info everytime, go ahead and do the following:
On your SGS, select Settings
On the Sttings page, select Location and Security
Scroll down to third grey bar! THere you'll see SIM card lock
Select the Set up SIM card lock feature and you are done!
Good luck!
So I've been spending the better part of an hour trying to convince widgetlocker to block sms popup but can't seem to figure out the proper system name. I have tried "SMS Popup", "android-smspopup", and "com.smspopup.*" any help would be greatly appreciated.

Go to data/app and try to find it.

why not just uninstall SMS popup or tell SMS popup not to try and unlock screen?
It doesn't unlock the screen. It pops up in front of widget locker instead of waiting for me to unlock it like it does by default. I tried the whole trying to figure it out through installed apps thing too. Even tried finding it before the names changed in running apps list. Not happening.

I'm also trying to figure this out... I love the customization for individual contacts that SMS Popup offers, and I'm not ready to lose that.... so if anyone can figure it out... haha.

I have never once said it unlocks the screen. And it never unlocks the phone on any setting. It does turn the screen on by default but I turned that off long ago. the problem is when I turn the screen on sms popup sits on top of the lockscreen with widgetlocker. Widgetlocker has an option but you need the actually system name such as "com.handcent.nextsms" to handcent. I just need that one little line of text to fix this. Just don't know what it is for sms popup.

Handcent has an option to enable/disable popups on top of the lockscreen
Ahh but I am using sms popup as I like the stock sms app.

All you had to do to get that line was navigate to /data/app with root explorer and find SMS popup.
net.everythingandroid.smspopup-1.apk
Its a liveable issue. It doesn't wake the screen at least but I know there has to be a way to figure it out. Its probably not even that hard but I don't know enough about programming or how android works to do so. I've been on vacation since the issue started and getting on a plane home now. Hopefully ill be able to figure it out with a better workspace blah.
Edit: either you posted that while I was typing or im blind. I actually tried that my device just showed smspopup.apk I thank you very much sir.

I have a XT1053 with stock 4.4.4 and have been having this problem for the last few months.
Somehow, the touchless control is now stuck behind my PIN lock. I have encrypted my phone, so the PIN lock is required. I used to be able to do things like "OK Google Now, what's the weather?" and Google Now would open and show me the weather, or send text messages. Basically the usual use, but recently the touchless control screen doesn't show when I say "OK Google Now", just the PIN screen. I can tell that the voice recognition is happening because Google Now will read me part of the weather, but usually gets cut off as the device goes to sleep before it finishes.
I'm not prompted to say or enter my PIN, I can enter it and get into the Google Now screen but not without using my fingers.
I haven't been able to find anyone else having this particular problem so I don't really know what to try. I've tried disabling Touchless Control, retraining, uninstalling updates (Moto Voice) all to no avail.
Anyone else seeing this? Any ideas?
Oh thank you. I was going nuts because I thought I was the only one. I posted on here as well and no one responded. I have been having this issue for the last few months ever since a Google search app update.
I have an exchange work account set up that forces me to have security on the lock screen. I have the pattern lock set up.
At this point I'm waiting for the lollipop update and hoping that it will fix that problem
Don't know why I didn't think of this before, I uninstalled updates to the Google App and everything is as it was before. If I can find a repository of various versions I will experiment to try and find which version broke.
Just FYI, I got the 5.1 update over the weekend. The updated Moto Voice app, and the latest Google search app are once again working together. I'm able to use the voice control without entering my PIN again.
Same here waiting paid off this time
I'm looking for a app, or setting to show my ICE (in case of emergency) on my lock screen.
I'm using Android 5.1.1 on a CM12 rooted device.
I've being looking on the internet and the Play store, but couldn't find a app or setting there.
Thanks for sharing your information
I'm using Power Toggles and added my ICE contact as a shortcut.
Voila - ICE contact reachable from the lock screen.

Thanks siddhesh.raikar,
But I've already got my own information on that place (in case of losing my phone)
And second, the tekst you can enter in the "lock screen message" place, will only "loop" across my screen.
I'm looking for something like Medical ID (ICE): Emergency Apk 3.4.1 SEO, only than for android 5.1.1
Anyway thank you for responding
This ICE app has the option to put its widget on its own lock screen: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appventive.ice

Does this APP work out fine on 5.1.1? I've saw some reviews on this app that showing a lot off issues. Ik don't bother to pay for a app, unless i'm certain it works out fine.
Rather have a free and payed version of the app.

I'm on 5.1.1 on my Nexus 6 and it works great. I enter all of my information and do all of my updates on the Family Medical Info web site, which will email the new file to your phone.
I don't really care for its lockscreen, so I use a shortcut to it in the Xposed Gravity Box module instead. There are probably other ways of doing it as well.

Works fine for me on 5.1.1. The issue people are having is that it doesnt add a widget to your current lock screen, it replaces your lock screen with their own (and it looks like it is an Eclair or FroYo lockscreen). If you have security set up on your lockscreen, that is where it gets borked. It will add a second lock screen. I don't know if this will ever get fixed, but I use a Motorola KeyLink to lock/unlock my phone. i figure if i get hit by a car, and the EMT is working on me, my keys will be close by to unlock my phone automatically
Hi guys, so I've just updated to Oreo, and I found out that I can't use any biometrics anywhere unless I choose a "secure" screen lock! Is there a workaround for this? I've never used neither iris, nor face recognition nor fingerprint on my phone but always on apps. I can't do this anymore, the thing that bothers me the most is that I switched from Chrome to samsung internet to use samsung pass which of course now doesn't work unless I change my lock settings
Yes I'd like to know this. But I'm afraid the answer is no. Oreo is not a good step for Android in my opinion. There are lots of things no longer implimented or have been made clumsy and complicated.
