Google now acts like a lock screen - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So whenever I use Google now voice activated from screen off, one I'm done with saying the command it leaves the screen on, won't let it shut off, and since I use a navigation bar replacement app it won't let me go back or home... The only work around I've found is to click something in Google now or give it a doesn't command that takes me out of Google now and prompts me to unlock the lock screen.
Is there a better work around? Or a way to fix it? WITHOUT disabling voice activation from screen off

By Pass Activation Screen

I am selling my girlfriend's Droid. I want to be able to let potential buyers view the phone (Android Os, programs etc); however, I reset the phone to factory state. Now when I turn on the phone, it wants to activate the phone but she turned her service off and switched it to her Droid X. Is there anyway to bypass the activation process ( on my Evo I can just keep hitting skip and you can view everything on the phone) to let them see and use the phone?
On the touch to begin screen, Tap all 4 corners of the screen, starting from top left , going clockwise

Didn't work
Just reset my droid and it worked, the bottom touch right above the skip buttons. I didn't get it to work first try.

Can't slide down notification from lock screen

Just got a Razr I and wondering if there's any way to allow to slide down the notification bar from the lock screen?
I thought this was the default with ICS but for some reason it doesn't work on my Razr I.
I have tried setting the lock screen option to 'Default' as well as 'None' but neither allow me to slide down the notification from the lock screen which I was used to doing on my previous phone.
Thanks.
I think i've worked it out!
As I haven't got my new Micro SIM card yet (waiting for Orange to post it to me as my previous phone was a standard size SIM) there's no SIM in the phone and it appears that this makes strange things happen.
If I put the phone on airplane mode then the lock screen settings work as expected ('None' = no lockscreen)
Also I can now slide down on the notification bar.
Take that back. Even though I'm still on flight mode and haven't changed anything the lock screen is showing when I turn on the screen!

Hmm, i dont know the answer to that. It is working flawlesly on mine.
But something other than that. If u want u can cut the normal sim to a microsim. Have done that with mine and it is working.

Thanks for that. I thought it was safer to ask orange to send me a new one which they do as a one off for free. Should arrive in post tomorrow and I'll see if things start working once it's in the phone!

Ah hope it does work!
Cutted my sim because i will change carrier in about a month. Didnt want to ask for a new sim when i would change carrier soon.

Right, final update I hope!
Got new micro SIM, been activated and is working.
Now the lock screen settings really are working as they should do and I can slide down the notification bar from the lock screen (when it's turned on)
Running Holo Locker now instead of the default lock screen as it's slightly more customizable and you can actually turn off the vibration when unlocking the phone.

[Q] Turning off Watchon!

I tried to use the phone as a remote control for my TV once. And now, it always shows up in my notification bar. I've tried to force STOP it in the Application manager, but it turns on automatically even after restarting the device.
Go into WatchOn settings and turnoff the show in notifications setting. Also, while there, turn off on lock screen.

Able to bypass screen lock security

I have my phone secured using the finger print sensor, it's set to automatically lock if I press the power button and when the screen times out and over 50% of the time, I'm able to get into my phone without using any passwords or having to use the finger print sensor. It's almost like I don't have any lock screen security set up at all. Anyone else running into this or is it just me?

Do you have Trusted Devices/Locations on? I've forgotten a bunch of times and thought that my lockscreen wasn't working right for a few seconds....
Thank you! The trusted location wasn't the issue but in checking on that, I discovered that it stays unlocked when my Bluetooth headset is connected!
