May seem silly but have you tried any other wall papers?? Different colours or even googling a picture of something black, just to check it isn't the wallpaper/image??
Because the discolouration comes through the screenshot, I would think the wallpaper would be the problem.

It's the ripple effect.
Uncheck the ripple effect In lock screen options and it'll be fine
It's a known bug

[Q] Revert to default Android lock screen.

Hello,
I was wondering if it is possible to change the lock screen on the Captivate to the default android lock screen.
Right now (default) it has a transparent grey rectangle that must be dragged off the screen, but I would much rather have the stock Android unlock (with the green slider).
Any tips are appreciated.
most roms have multiple lock screens to choose from...

I have the stock rom, and I don't really want to switch roms. Is it possible to change without changing roms?
Second that .. but don't we gotta be deoxed?

Full weather animations

Is this no longer an option with sense 5?
And the title should have said full screen weather animations.

No, this has been removed from what I understand.
Tap the Weather icon, and you will be taken to a full screen animation. But, full screen animation over your home screen, that is gone.

Ya those r the only two I liked. Rain was ok. But the frosted edges and lightning were the ones that I liked the most. Especially the lightning. The frost only came around once a year here in Texas if it lucky.

The only way is to install Beautiful Widgets and download the features package and on settings unlock animations.

That's true, but the sense version felt better. The BW version required you to tap the screen to get it to stop before you could use the phone, while sense would just make it disappear instantly without having to make that initial "exiting" tap

Yeah I know... I don't like beautiful widgets any more... I am hooked with Uccw instead.

There is a way to get the weather animations back but you have to change your wallpaper. Check in Live wallpapers and use the "Weather" one. It's pretty nice actually because it changes for day, night, rain, cloudy, etc. and the animation stops after a few seconds which I assume saves on battery drain. But you are locked into that wallpaper. Hope that helps.

4.3 Lock screen widget bug

Has anyone had problems with the lock screen widgets. I apply a widget but my phone won't unlock. When I swipe to unlock it just go right back to the lock screen. It just loops over and over. The only way to unlock the phone is to swipe on one of the shortcuts on the bottom of the screen to go to app from the shortcut but not the home screen.

No problems here....which widget did you use? I just used Google Now Cards and its working for me just fine.
Yep, happened to me too with dashclock widget. Will download a new lock screen to try. Probably a stock android one on the play store.

Looks pretty bad yeah, I used the analog clocks instead, still doesn't look good. But the problem is the widgets are not clickable. I read something about them not being scrollable too, which may explain why they're not clickable. I'm looking for a lock screen replacement that allows for widgets but no dice yet. Only that ugly lockscreen widget app.

Yep, that's what I mean. That's the problem I'm getting. They offer like 7 different lock screens yet they don't offer the stock android one. Still looking for a replacement lock screen. If anyone has any ideas let me know.

To add lockscreen widgets, go to settings > personalize > lock screen and change it to widgets
Any widget I used gets stuck in a loop and I can't unlock the phone. I had "battery widget reborn" and when I try to place it even on the home screen it locks the screen and it gets stuck. Maybe it's a bug in "battery widget reborn"?

I noticed to get the widgets to work, you have to drag down on the widget (you'll see a blue box being dragged down,) then you should be able to use it.
I ended up getting widget locker. It's actually pretty awesome. Thanks to HTC's 25 bucks haha. 3 bucks ain't so bad either. Now I have a stock lock screen with better widget support.

I figured out the problem. I had to uninstall "battery reborn" app. It was causing a glitch in the lock screen. My widget now works like it should.

Red Film Icon

Hello. This is a screenshot of my girlfriends s5. Trying to figure out what this red film icon is. It's stuck on her screen. It is almost like it's part of the wallpaper because if you move between screens, it stays where it is. You can't click on it or long clock on it either. Tried changing wallpapers and it did not fix it. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
She is using Nova launcher, FYI.

Not sure what caused it. It was the same icon as play video or whatever it's called. Got rid of it by restarting her phone. Very strange.
