How to get rid of the notification bar when device is locked - Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers

Hi, on my S7 I did deactivate the notification bar on my lock screen.
But I cannot find the setting on my S10.
When my S10 is locked, I do not want to get the notification bar by pulling down (to change Wifi, mobile connection, bluetooth and so on).
It's just, because the kids play with my phone and they do not know how to unlock it. But when the notification bar shows up on the lockscreen, the can change the settings of all my sensors and stuff
Quite annoying.
Thanks for your help.

Settings -> Lock screen -> Secure lock settings
Turn on "Lock network and security"

Thanks, but this doesn't help. It was already checked.
The bar can still be pulled down.
On my S7, this wasn't possible at all. I could deactivate completely.

Yes, but it should ask for you to unlock it to change any settings. Give it a shot.

It only does that for wifi or mobile connections. But you can still switch off auto sync and other stuff.

Try Cerberus. It has that option. But it has so much more.
This one is much simpler

There are both paid options I think.

Do the kids just grab it or do you hand it to them? If you hand it to them then in the same menu there is an option called "Show lockdown option". From your Lock screen, holding down the power button will give you the option to lock it down. That should prevent everything you're worried about. The only thing is that you'd have to manually do it every time.

arrggg...it works, BUT....the fingerprint requires the android lock screen mode. And the fingerprint is needed for my online banking. So I cannot use another lock screen app. Damn it...it would have been a nice solution.

[Q] Lollipop lockscreen question

In KitKat, pressing the power button or swiping up after a Moto Wave would skip the lock screen and go straight to android.
In Lollipop, pressing the power button brings up the lock screen. Swiping up from the Moto Wave screen flashes the lock screen briefly, then goes to android.
I don't remember how I had disabled the lock screen in KK, but in LP security->screenlock settings, there is no option to disable the lock screen.
Any thoughts?
Going to Settings > Security > Screen lock, and changing your setting to None will disable the lockscreen.

As per my original post, LP settings do not give you a 'none' option.

I'm on a modified system image, however I'm not aware that this was an add on...
Every other device running lollipop has this, hell, every devide running 4.0+ has it.
Can you upload a screenshot of what your's looks like?

I've read in another forum that removing the "Guest" user solved this problem. Others said running "Clear credentials" in the Security options helped them.

By lockscreen, do you possibly mean the keyboard (the one that shows notifications and you just swipe up on to remove)?
If so, mine does that too by pressing power. I just made a tasker task that turns the keyboard off and have it run at boot or if the screen is on. Keeps my PIN enabled when no Smart Lock conditions are met, but it now takes me straight to my home screen when I press the power button instead of using Moto's active display.
EDIT: wait, that always bypasses the PIN. Hmmmm
Its under settings-security-screen lock (1st setting).
Yes, it's the guest user issue. Funny thing is, I don't remember going into the Users settings (maybe the kids played with the phone).
For others reading, if you create another user or even use the Guest user once, LP disables the "none" option under Lock Screen.
It's silly how to fix it, though. You can't disable the Guest account from the settings page. You have to switch to the Guest user, then disable the Guest account from within the Guest environment. Which . . . doesn't actually disable the Guest account, since it still shows up in the User settings page.
In other words, not only is it unclear and unintuitive how to fix the problem, there's no visual indication in the UI that a change has initially occurred, or afterwards when the condition has been reversed.
Thanx for the replies.

Is there a way to remove the startup swipe screen while keeping screen lock?

I'm on Marshmallow and use SmartLock, so under the right conditions no unlock is required. However, at switch on there is nevertheless always still a screen to be swiped away (clock and emergency contact). Does anyone know a way of eliminating that stage, so that switch on goes directly to the desktop?
Thanks.

Go to Settings --> Security --> Screen Lock --> Choose your desired Screen lock --> You should then see a screen like the following, select No Thanks and your device will still be locked but you won't have to enter your Screen Lock when starting the phone. I hope this helps!

Many thanks. I do already have that setting set to "No thanks", and indeed, when I switch on I do not have to put in my code. However, there is still always a screen (clock and emergency contact info) that has to be swiped away. It doesn't require a pin or patten, it just has to swiped away. And that's what I'm trying to get rid of.
Why would you want to get rid of a screen which will tell people how to contact you if you lose your phone...?

I'm only talking about when I'm at home and SmartLock is operational. If I lose my phone in my own house, I don't need my contact details on screen! At all other times the regular pin required screen works fine.
I'm just trying to get to a point where, when I'm at home and SmartLock is doing its thing, I can switch on directly, without any additional screens at all.

Yes, that's what we want. We need Google for that. Because the only way to bypass the 'lock screen swipe' is to disable all lock options.

Thanks. In which case it's a shame that enabling/disabling the lock screen isn't a single operation, but requires putting in the pin code. Otherwise it wouldn't be difficult to setup an if/then automation; "If I'm at home, then switch off lock screen; if I'm away from home, then switch on lock screen".
But since that's not possible, I guess I'm scuppered. Unless anyone has any ideas ... A third-party app, perhaps?

There are unlock apps in the playstore, but that kind of apps need root access to bypass the lock screen.
Be carefull.

That sounds like something that Tasker would do.

Unfortunately I don't believe that any automation/macro app would be able to do that, because switching on SmartLock requires a sequence of actions under Settings, including twice entering a four digit code. I've never used Tasker, so I may be wrong, but surely that's not possible even for that app?
I may well be wrong, since I managed only a few simple tasks with the direct-buy Tasker (i.e. non-Play Store) and then lost the key, and the developer had also lost my registration, so I stopped using it. But it should be possible to create a Tasker task along the lines of "at home don't lock" which should remove the need for a code entry - I'll have to defer to our colleagues who regularly use Tasker.
Thank you very much for that. I've had play with "AutomateIt" which I currently use, and which is a simpler version of "Tasker", and in fact it offers the same screen lock/unlock feature that you discribed. I tried it, it works, however when the screen lock is unlocked, I nevertheless still have to wipe away the clock/contact info screen, so I'm afraid I'm back at square one again.

Removing top taskbar access from lockscreen

Hello, I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to remove the top taskbar (WiFi, Bluetooth, etc) while the screen is locked? I wouldn't want anyone who can't unlock my screen to be able to disable my WiFi or Bluetooth etc.
Any insight is helpful.
Thanks!
Anyone?

Cerberus has this function built in. Can also block power menu
Isn't it possible to block in settings?
Quick menu has serious bug:
Lock screen - quick settings - SETTINGS and phone is unlocked. No PIN requested, no fingerprint needed.
This is really anoying to have such security bug.
Oxygen 3.5.4, rooted
That's not the case on 4.0.1.
Also, for the time being I got what I wanted by removing the data option from the quick settings.. So if someone does get hold of the mobile, they still can't disable the data. Ofcourse they can shut it off and eventually wipe it off. Good enough for now I guess.

Kill the Always On Display

How can I toggle the AOD to be completely off? This is driving me nuts. I'm aware of the settings within the Motion Sense area of settings. The "show when nearby" seems to take, however no matter what I do the clock still appears no matter what as an AOD. I've tried disabling the following in different combinations to no avail:
Motion Sense
com.google.oslo
Pixel Ambient Services
com.google.intelligence.sense
Motion Sense Bridge
com.google.android.apps.motionsense.bridge
Even tried the clock app itself
com.google.android.deskclock
Whenever these are initially disabled it seems to work for a minute or so but then the clock pops back up on the AOD. I just want the toggles to work! This is for when I'm driving and my my phone is mounted where it faces me. I already have 2 clocks in my car and don't need a third it's more of an annoyance than anything else.
Do you have Always On disabled in the Lock Screen settings?

Search for "always on" in settings and turn it off
display / lockscreen / always on - does not exist
Searching for "always on" yields no results.
I don't have a lock screen set as I don't need it, though I did try setting one temporarily to see if the option showed up, but nothing. That's how I used to do it on my note but they moved everything around on 10.

You really don't have always on under..settings/display/advanced/lock screen display....then scroll to the bottom??
Display, scroll all the way to the bottom, select lock screen display, bottom third of the screen you'll see Always on, toggle it off. You can still have it light up by tapping, lifting, or triggered by soli, in any combination if you wish.
edit.. Ninja'ed me Badge, it's there, he just missed it.

It's probably because you went around disabling apps. Enable the Pixel ambient Services.

With everything re-enabled and a hard reboot, I set a screen lock. Then went back to display and the "lockscreen" option was now available. I turned off AOD and then disabled the screen lock and it took. No more clock.
It seems as though the AOD toggle being buried in the lock screen options, which is only available when one is on will take no matter of a lock screen is set. So every time I want to change this I have to go through this process. I wish there was a Quick Settings shortcut for this.

Well it's not exactly meant to be toggled on and off often like the ones in the Quick Settings pulldown menu. The easiest and quickest way is just searching "Always on" in settings and you can actually toggle it right there as seen in the screenshot.

Also if you are not using the active edge for anything critical you might try button mapper by flar2 and see if one of the options can be set to it. Or maybe even on of the other options in his app will apply it.

I don't now and have never had a lock screen enabled on my phone and can and have always been able to enable or disable always on display. Unless you disabled some app affecting this as mentioned above it should be there for you too just as it is for the rest of us. You may want to look into that and see what's hanging you up.

I haven't been able to do it since it was virgin out of the box, the option just isn't there. Doing it on my old Note 8 was super easy it was right where it was supposed to be. Although I have found a workaround for anyone on the off chance I'm not the only one experiencing this.
Being rooted, I downloaded ShortcutMaster and used the app explorer and poked around until I found;
[Setup Wizard]
com.google.android.pixel.setupwizard
tap and scroll down to;
com.google.android.pixel.setupwizard.alwaysondisplay.AlwaysOnDisplayOptInActivity
Choosing [launch] triggers the screen from inital setup to toggle the AOD.
Set it as favorite, or Homescreen (on the paid version)
Launch Shortcut master each time to change it or use the homescreen icon shortcut.
The setting seems to take each time I've done it so far.

Question Custom Message in Lock Screen

I think AOD (Always On Display) has something to do with it but it seems that the option to change the custom text on Lock Screen is removed from OP10 Pro. If true, it is pretty stupid. I mean remove the text set during earlier OS versions and remove the option.
Now I have a text there which could be a wrong info (ex-wife and such) but no option to edit/remove it!
Any help please.
I think you are looking for this...
Settings; personalizations; always on display; display settings; display message.
Is that it?
First of all, thanks for replying.
I do not have Personalizations at all, under Settings. "Always-On Display" is found under Settings > Wallpapers and style > AOD. Under this > More Display Settings > Info does show some info that I can add/remove, but can't edit the message that was already set before OOS13
BTW I am on OOS13.0 (Android 13), v NE2211_11_C.20. No root, no magisk, no customization of any type!

Made an account just to post this and come out of my lurker hole.
To get Google pay option in the lock screen shortcut section available, I have to open "wallet" from the status bar drop down menu. If you open the wallet app this will not work.
Once wallet is opened from the drop down menu's icon, three dots on top right will have 1 option for lock screen settings. Click that and the first option is to change lock screen message text and the first toggle option is to allow wallet access from lock screen shortcut.
Here you can fix your text and or make that other setting available for use.
These lock screen settings are only accessible through this drop down quick menu that I have found and not the wallet app for some odd reason.
I accidentally set a "test" text to see where it would be placed and then couldn't get back to the setting and spent the next 8 hours trying to find it.
Hope this helps all who are as confused as I was.
Probably try Google Assistant application, by voice searching through it for "lock screen text" . It worked for me on Android 13 (OnePlus phone)

The issue is with the AOD custom text message, not the locksreen one.
