Swipe to screenshot does not work with Nova Launcher, annoying IR remote on lock scr

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

[Q] Fingerprint Unlock Issues

Hey all,
I may be completely missing something but I can't seem to get the fingerprint unlock on my AT&T S6 to work consistently. I've gone through the process and set up my fingerprint, but when i click the power button and back on, it asks me to swipe rather than use the fingerprint. At the bottom on the lockscreen I get a "swipe to unlock" message and when i touch/swipe the little water globule appears. I have to swipe to the right to unlock. What's extra interesting is when I reboot my phone, for first unlock (and only first) it asks for fingerprint unlock and unlocks appropriately by me placing my thumb on the sensor. Here's some additional information that may help:
1. Under lock screen and security settings, "Screen lock type" is set to "Fingerprints"
2. Under "Fingerprints" i have Fingerprint 1 which is my thumb
3. Web sign-in and Verify Samsung are currently Off
4. The problem is the same whether i use the power button on the right side of the phone, or press and hold home button, or single press home button then try to use thumbprint
Am i completely stupid and missing something? Seems totally weird to me that on first reboot and first unlock attempt it requires fingerprint, but any subsequent unlock is swipe only?
Thanks in advance for the help!

It hasn't completely locked. There is a option for it in security and go to secure lock settings and then secured lock time

Can't find smart lock

I have found many threads and discussions that show how to set up/activate smart lock, but I can't find it ANYwhere. It is not there. I have not yet set up fingerprint unlock as I want to know I can have smart lock option, and the fingerprint scanner on my Note 4 was so awful, I'm a little hesitant. Has anyone had this problem? I just updated software through Verizon today so now Samsung Pay is available, and wanted to use fingerprint with smart lock for security. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I just use the Search option and found. It's listed under Lock Screen and Security--- Secure Lock Settings
I'm on the international variant, but it should be on all Notes. Hope this helps.

Nope. Not there. But thanks.

It's exactly where LGmarly said it was. Which version of the phone do you have?

It will be there. I thought I did not have it either until I setup fingerprints. I use swipe pattern now & it's still there. If you have your lock screen set to swipe or nothing the Secure Lock Settings will not appear.

Thanks! That's what I was suspecting - not there until secure lock is set up. I searched high and low through all settings, sub-settings, etc. Will set up fingerprint today and expect to see it. Thanks for the replies.

Viewing notifications on lock screen while locked

If I have the phone on my desk where it can't scan my face and unlock, is there any way to reach over to view and dismiss notifications? Currently if I double tap the screen it just goes straight to trying to scan my face, but it only shows a notification icon and no contents. I can pull down the notification shade and check it that way, but that's an extra couple of steps. Am I just out of luck if I want to use face unlock?

I'm seeing the same thing. Haven't found a way around it. There's a setting in face id that you can check that asks you to confirm unlock when it scans your face, but, it isn't working apparently. This is definitely one of my gripes so far.

i think i have a fix for you guys if its sitting more or less flat and you wave/hold your hand over the top it will activate the screen with out it scanning your face its part of the motion sense options i believe

It will activate the screen, but it'll only show the notification icon, not the contents.

Try swiping down on the screen. Notification should appear at the top & you can view or dismiss.

Yes, I already mentioned that in the OP. I'd prefer to skip that extra step.

I have just switched from a OnePlus 7 Pro and I am confused by this too.
Is it not possible to view notification content directly on the screen without pulling down the shade every time?

Disabling 'Skip screen lock' makes the phone behave like other androids without face lock. You can read and interact with your notifications. But it's an extra step to unlock the phone.

Good catch! I'm going to do this for a while and see whether I prefer this and having to swipe up, or just let it unlock.

Yeah, I tried it and realized I like the skip lock screen feature more. I think it's a bug and have raised it to Google via the feedback option. Hopefully they fix it.

This is definitely the better way IMO. It'll probably save battery, and I don't have to be on the home screen every time. I do already miss the one step unlock though. My 3xl, I would just grab it and hit the fingerprint scanner at the same time. This one I have to swipe now. Oh well, not sure there is any other way.

Face unlock brings the desktop

Hi guys
As soon as the phone detects the face, it brings the home screen(desktop)
Is there a setting to keep the clock and screen lock on even if the face is recognised? (Then you can manually swipe up to go the home screen).
The only way to do this is to hide all notifications and enable the content when the face is detected.
What I'd like to have is, seeing all notifications on the lock screen (with the content) being able to unlock the phone but still not land to the home screen (Staying at the screen lock)

yeah but in this case the notifications on the lock screen only appears when the face is recognised. I'd like to have them on the lock screen regardless.
Is that possible?

Why don't you just double tap/swipe the screen to turn on and see the notifications and then unlock using your face.

Yeah but the moment you look at the phone, it unlocks. Without even being able to see what notifications were on the lock screen.

Just tilt the screen to an angle where the device doesn't detect your face, that's how I do it anyway which I am fine with.

Under face recognition in security, is it not 'show notifications, swipe up to go to home screen' click to enable or disable that...
