I just got a replacement Note 9 as my phone radio was defective. On this original note 9 I was successful in removing the spinning green and blue circle with unlocked padlock but I forgot how and now after setting up my replacement phone it now has the same thing,, I did not expect it as I used smart switch but there it is again . How do I remove this spinning circle and unlocked padlock which makes restarting so slow?
To make more clear when I got rid of the spinning blue green circle and unlocked padlock I did not loose any data or anything. It was easy but I forgot what I did..
enabled encryption ? in which case disable it on sd card that is

Hi Gurus,
Since few days I am facing a unique problem.
On the lock screen, a strange Circle (Orange outline, green-yellow dot inside) is getting displayed. This circle is behind the normal white unlock symbol (in the image the arrow is pointing to that circle behind the unlock symbol).
If I press this new circle, I get a meter on left side of screen where a small pointer travels from top to bottom. This pointer/slider has 0.895/5.0GB written on it.
I am not able to understand what it is and how to get rid of it.:crying:
SOLVED
Hi,
I am using Moto X 2nd gen. from 6 months now and I just love it. However, there is one small thing that I keep wondering whether it is only with me or is it a bug or something.
I am running Android 5.0 and using the active display feature. When I tap the on screen lock/unlock icon, the unlock icon that goes to the bottom still shows as closed lock. It does not show as "unlocked" lock when I drag it down to unlock the phone.
I have already tried booting in safe mode and then back to normal mode again, but it does not work.
Is this a known issue, or is it just happening with me?
Thank you.
If in Active display if u hit the lock icon, at the bottom the lock is unlocked in the circle.
so by dragging you are moving from lock to unlock

Yes, that's what I was expecting but it was not happening.
By the way, I have got hold of it. It was showing as "locked" in circle when I dragged down because I am using a Pattern unlock security. So when I drag it down, it shows that my device has still got to be unlocked by using the Pattern. When I change the screen lock security to None, I can see the icon change to "unlocked" in the circle when I drag down.
Thanks to Motorola support member for suggesting this.
I hope this thread helps anyone else who is getting bugged by this.
Hi, maybe I'm screwed, but anyway I will ask...
I have a Note 5 protected with fingerprints and obviously with a PIN.
My screen failed, imagine that you divide the screen in 7 parts horizontally, lanes 2 and 3 from the bottom does not respond.
My device rebooted and as I have to unlock it with the PIN after restart, I'm unable to do that because 3 of the digits are in the part of the screen that doesnt work.
I decided not to repaird the screen, I bought an S8, but I need the pictures stored in the note 5. I'm been unable to get them, because for the methods I know, the device must be unlocked.
Any thoghts??
Thanks! I was able to unlock it using the stylus...
Hello everyone, there is a random Unlocked Padlock icon with a color circle rotating around it (its the same padlock icon and rotating circle around it as when i restart my phone and its asking me to enter my pin number because my phone is encrypted) showing up on my TV screen while i am using the phone on DEX mode. When it shows up, its there for a couple of seconds, then it goes away and my phone's lock screen shows up in "screen mirroring" and then DEX mode starts again and the phone functions completely normally until it does it again which might not be for hours.
I have cleared system cache like 5 times. No change.
Unlocked Note 8 U950N on Verizon
Not Modified in any way, Android 8.0, Latest security patch (same issue with previous security patches)
OEM Samsung DEX Station
Bluetooth Keyboard/Mouse
1080 resolution
OEM Charger
Things to consider: 1- My S pen sandomly stops working. Tried a new Spen and it still work work, no hover circle or any input from the pen. restarting the phone fixes that issue.
2- Phone will randomly show "slow charging" when first plugged in to the OEM charger and wire (have 3 different set and it does it will all of them). Unplugging it from the phone side and plugging it back in fixes it.
Please let me know what you think for all 3 issues before i contact samsung for a warranty repair/replacement.
Thank you
Hi,
on stock Android 9, when I unlock screen I need cell network provider name in stead of clock in top-left corner of the screen. After 3 seconds it's replaced with clock time. Is there a way to remove this annoyance and just see the time immediately?
I guess device is kind of old for anyone to come here
