I got use to my lock screen shortcuts on S4 and now since they missing on S5 can anyone advice me something to replace them with?
I tried app called "galaxy s5 lockscreen" but it works poorly, functionality is limited and it drains battery a lot.
I used widgetlocker in the past to customize my lockscreen. It's a paid app.. and I bought it so long ago I don't remember how much lol..
If you want to go the free route, I believe there's a GoLocker also that's free
Check out "Galaxy S4 Lock Screen"

Same here. I installed this to compensate. You can put the shortcuts you came to love in the drop down notifications.

I'm going to try that S4 lock screen, though.

Hi guys
Has anyone found out a way to add shortcuts to lock screen with pin-lock.
My only solution is using the s-view flip case from samsung. I want more shortcuts!
Has anyone found out a way to erase with the s pen in s note WITHOUT keep going to the eraser on the tool bar.
The button on s pen used to be the eraser on the note 2 but on note 3 it only does screen capture, annoying!
TIA

i think you can only have shortcuts if you do not use a pin/password. maybe if you are rooted there ay be a solution, i dont know though. sorry, but hoped i helped!
What about the s pen is it bc of the att rom or all note 3 s pen is like this?

Again, if you are rooted maybe there are mods that will allow that for the s-pen. I honestly have not seen anything like that at the moment though, sorry

You can add shortcuts and then apply pin lock. The short cuts will stay. If you want to change them you would have to turn off the pin security.
So I guess I could root the phone but is there a stock rom, general for all note 3 where we get all basic function w/o bloat wares...im not a fan of custom roms.

It seems all the Best Buy stores are sold out, yet I don't see a lot of people discussing the fit. I was able to track one down from a sprint store.
I love the thing.
I can't seem to find if it has the ability to double tap screen to do things.
How do you guys like the fit?

Its pretty cool. I'm using it on my nexus and got most of the features working. I don't know what that double tap feature is. When you double tap with two fingers it opens the settings menu. And when you press the home button 2 times it opens whatever you have it set to. Maybe that helps.

What features aren't working on your Nexus? I was thinking of flashing an aosp ROM, but did not want to lose functions. How are notifications?

Weather doesnt work, S Health isnt working either. alarms dont work. cannot quick reply to texts. but otherwise everything else is working.
Playing around with Apex launcher on the new S5, tap+hold on homescreen>Shortcuts>Activities>Settings - expand the settings category and you can find references to S Pen settings. A whole slew of settings appear specifically for the S-Pen. Anyone know if the S-Pen works/will work on the S5?
I don't want to assume that just because the settings are there, it's supported by the device, but would be cool if it is!
Would like to know this as well. It would save me from having to carry an ink pen at work all the time if I could use it with S-Memo.
Not sure if they make device specific s - pens but I can definitely confirm the s - pen for the note 3 DOES NOT work on the s5.

This is a post from the Samsung Tomorrow Blog about some not so well known S5 features:
1. You can write on it with a Pencil
The touch sensor on the Galaxy S5 is so sensitive that it can even recognize it when you’re tapping, swiping or writing on it with a pencil.
To use your smartphone like this, go to Settings, then Display, and then tick the ‘Increase touch sensitivity’ feature or select ‘Touch sensitivity’ among the 22 quick menu icons by pulling down the status bar with two fingers. Now you can instantly send text messages, send files, and take pictures with your fingers, a gloved hand (which we’ve already introduced through the Galaxy S4 and Note 3), your fingernail or, that’s right, even a pencil!

Same here...tried my wife's s - pen from her note 3 and it didn't work for me as well. What's so different about note 3 and s5? They are almost identical. Maybe different TW features? IDK.

The s-pen will not work on the s5 as it does not have the hardware required. The note series has another panel below the display that allows for magnetic (I think) vs static input.

If you have some broken headphones, you can use the 3.5mm plug on your s5. And since it's not super pointy you don't have to worry about scratching the screen.
I've been getting stupid pop up ads on my phone for the last week or so. I read that on 4.2+ I can long press on the ad and it'll tell me which app is causing this but it's not working for me. I'm using Dodol launcher; could that be why? I've also tried TrustGo Ad Detector and it doesn't tell me squat. How do I find out exactly which app is causing these ads so I can get rid of it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using XDA Free mobile app
Is there anything in the notification window when these ads popup? Do you have a screen shot?
I ask because there seems to be two different kinds of ads: those who have a notification and those who don't. With the first kind, you can just do what you said and kill the app's notifications. If it's the second kind, you will have to uninstall anything that may be causing it until it goes away.
My wife used my old S3 for a while and was plagued by this problem. I had never seen it before, but she had a few shopping apps that I don't use.

There's nothing in the notification bar. The really sucky part is that I downloaded quite a few new apps and now I have to get rid off most of them just to be sure.

Hey guys for some reason my lock screen effects are missing or I'm unable to access them. How do I fix this? I've been trying to figure this out for some days now.
Thanks

I am guessing you are using a live wallpaper? Using a live wallpaper will disable the lock screen effects.
No I don't have a live wallpaper. I'm thinking it's a bug in the lollipop update that's preventing me from having the option to choose which effect I would like.
