Hi Guys,
I finally pulled the trigger to get the Galaxy Note, Amazing phone so far! I'm just having an issue when unlocking the screen. When I set up a pin or pattern to unlock the phone, It goes to the PIN or PATTERN mode automatically, I will not show me the Unlock screen where I can see the time and weather.
I think that's how it is. Take out the pattern and you'll see the unlock screen with weather info.

o alright, My old atrix makes me unlock the phone first then enter the pin/pattern.

Hi all,
The recent ruling of the California Supreme Court got me thinking about having the ability to quickly password protect my phone and/or block access. Currently, I just have the stock homescreen and I don't want to have to enter a PIN everytime I unlock my phone.. I could go with the pattern though. That may be an option.
Although I'm not in California (I'm in Canada) I've heard instances here where the police have demanded people hand over their phones to check if they were texting while driving.
Is there an app/icon which could be put on the homescreen that when run would password protect the phone?

I'm using No Lock. I have a lock pattern set but with no lock widget I have that turned off. I can quickly hit the no lock widget then the power button to turn off the screen. When the screen is turned on again, the pattern unlock has to be used.
Hi, i currently use a password lock for my phone which you need to type. Recently , i got bored of it and decided to change to pattern lock , however when i lock my screen and turned it on , it changes to password lock. Any ideas
I was wondering if anybody had noticed this.
When I change lock screen security from swipe to say "lock pattern", it does nothing.
It'll disable other lock widgets, because I guess in 4.3 or touchwiz you can't have widgets and lock patterns (but I digress).
The lock screen unlock will still be a swipe, no pattern.
Anybody else experience this?
Any work arounds?
Thanks.

I assume you changed the timeout for the lock engage?

That baffles me until I noticed I did not change the timeout for the Secured lock time to instant. Then I said to myself, this can be useful. Set Secured lock time out to 1 hour and use the password lock option. If I lost or displaced my phone, it will be password locked in 1 hour but if I use my phone constantly every 5-10 minutes, I still have the benefit of the easy to use slide to lock knowing that it is backed up with a password lock after 1 hours of no activity.
Then I try to repeat this on my old Sprint Note 2, Sprint Note 3, Samsung Note 10.1 2014 and I can't do it. Instead of a slide to unlock within the specified Secured lock time, I am greeted with a totally unlock screen. Which is really bad for butt dialing and accidental touch screen use since the screen is not protected by slide to unlock while it is in your pocket.
It seems this is a unique feature to AT&T note 3.
Try turning off the lock screen effect. I had this problem and I changed the effect from watercolor to none and that fixed it.
I have my lock screen set for fingerprint. If the device is shutdown or restarted, the lockscreen asks for a fingerprint. After that if the power button is pressed to shut off and lock the screen, the next time it is turned on the lockscreen asks for just a swipe. It wont ask for a fingerpring again until the system is restarted again. Anyone else have this problem? Solutions?
You have to go into settings and set the power button to lock device. Or you can change the settings to lock device after a certain period of time.
It's under Lockscreen/Secure Lock Settings

You can also set it to not lock if it's connected to a certain device, like a Bluetooth.
This is a god sent because it's always been a pain to unlock the phone in a car after it's gone to sleep and you are streaming music from it.
Thanks! That was driving me crazy. I knew it was there, but couldn't find it.
I know what you mean! It was confusing the heck out of me in the beginning but then caught on.
How do one wish to switch back to just a simple swipe after choosing fingerprint unlock
The SWIPE option is now greyed out ??
