Does anyone else who is using the swipe lock screen (no pattern/pin...) notice that if you performed a google search or had google now open, the power button skips the lockscreen? I have a feeling its not a bug but rather a feature but it annoys me.

Hello everyone, my lock screen always appears whenever I open an app. Not all apps, but the google play store or SMS or something like that.
The steps I've done:
I've disabled the lock screen completely and removed all codes, and then added them again.
I use an application called No Lock which either enables or disables the lock screen. When I'm home, On GB at least, I use it to not lock the home screen because I don't need security at home. I click the widget to lock the screen when I leave the house to enable it. I've cycled through the on off for this application and still the same results.
Any ideas?
Can anyone confirm that motion sensors and motion guided commands do not work when you do NOT use Touch Wiz? I am using Nova Launcher and the hand swipe to screenshot does not work.
Also, I tested out the IR Remote control app which worked great but now even after i close the app, on my lock screen, the remote functions are still there.

It hasn't gone away since last night. I closed out, closed process etc, still just hangs around the lock screen. When i press the channel/volume buttons from the lock screen, the blue light shines showing that it is currently activated and on. I believe this is a possible bug. I'm worried it's draining my battery as well. Please help.
Bonus help: how do you change the background on the lock screen?

On the S4 there's a setting within the app where you can disable the lock screen and notification panel settings. You'd think that they should still be there on the S5. Open the app, go to the menu and check the settings there.

Yeah, that drove me nuts too when I first used the feature on my S4.....Hopefully getting the S5 and Gear Neo this weekend.
Swipe to screenshot works fine for me with Next Launcher 3D.

i figure swipe to capture out, your hand had to actually glide ON the screen. This whole time I thought it was an air motion that the sensors on the front caught. it isn't that at all but based on the hand touching the actual glass. I guess this is what happens for first time Samsung users... mods feel free to delete this thread.
SOLVED! I had the same issue (swipe screen grab not working) and tried everything with my Galaxy S6 after I installed Marshmallow and also Nova launcher for first time. Not sure which one caused it... Anyway, after going through a million "fixes" that didn't work, this one finally did!
- Go to your phone dialer and dial: *#2663#
- That will bring up a developer menu. Once you're in the menu press the button titled "TSP FW Update (General)". Let it got through the update (just a few seconds) and viola!!! You're swipe screen grab or any other touch screen weirdness work perfectly again!
Thanks . Solved even S pen problem on screen capture
Hi, I did a rollback to ICS 4.0.3 (v10h). Now, if I have a fullscreen app running (like the network map display in Öffi public transportation app) and I lock the phone (turn it off) and turn it on again, I see the fullscreen app instead of the lock screen. I can get to the lock screen by touching the home button, but this doesn't seem right. Is this usual with this Rom? Can i get rid of this? How?
Anyone?
Maybe thats impossible on 4.0
But you can try out on KitKat. Maybe there is it, what you are searching for
I have customized my Lock screen using lockstar. So for quick access, I have three apps, that is, Camera, Flashlight and Spotify.
The first two work without unlocking phone, but I have to unlock the device in order to use Spotify. Is there a way to bypass the lock screen, but prevent someone from entering phone through Spotify.
For example, if using camera from lock screen, you can take pictures but when pressing home button, you are returned to lock screen. Can I do something with Spotify too?
Also, how do I enable Spotify controls like Scribble music and control volume and have Album Cover, because on lock screen I have nothing.
I use Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos, 128GB/6GB) if that helps
Hi, I've had this issue for a while where apps seem to freeze up after locking and then unlocking the phone. So, for an example, let's say I am using the firefox browser app, and then I turn off the screen with the power button. Wait about 15-30 seconds, and then when I turn the screen back on it will be frozen on whatever I was viewing before.
What's weird is that the app appears to still be active, only the screen acts frozen. I know this because I have figured out that if I tap the recents key, and then tap the app I was just using, it refreshes/unfreezes the app to where I can use it again. I have tried scrolling when the screen is frozen, and when I use the recents key to unfreeze it, it will be further down the page. Sometimes, when the app freezes, the content section will be completely black until I do the refresh trick.
More information:
-If I lock and then unlock the phone immediately, it doesn't get frozen. It's only after about 10 seconds that it does this.
-I am not using a lock screen/password. If I have the option set to 'swipe' or any of the other variants, the problem does not seem to happen.
-I think this behavior may have started after the Android 9 update.
-Other functions on the phone work perfectly fine (I can still access the notification menu etc.)
I just viewed a post called 'frozen screen after waking up screen' that is the exact same issue I am having, but there doesn't appear to have been a solution yet so I'm bringing it back up if that's ok. Thanks for any help.
