I have two locks on my lock screen. One is the standard slide lock, and the other is a pattern lock. I don't know how I got both at the same time but it's annoying. At this point I am ready to go lockless altogether (if that's possible). Any ideas guys?

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, I don't know where else to ask. One thing that has always annoyed me about my phone is that there is no way to remove the lock screen that I have found. It seems redundant to always be hitting the power button and then sliding again to lock when it would be pretty much impossible to hit the power button by accident for me, and I can't imagine anything in my pocket working on a capacitive screen anyway.
Anyone have a mod to nuke the lock screen?
Try the no lock screen app on the market called No Lock.
Don't those apps prevent the phone from idling to sleep?
This might seem like a really noob question but for the Sense pin lock screen does it instantly appear like the pattern screen or have a slight delay before it pops up?
I was wondering if anybody had noticed this.
When I change lock screen security from swipe to say "lock pattern", it does nothing.
It'll disable other lock widgets, because I guess in 4.3 or touchwiz you can't have widgets and lock patterns (but I digress).
The lock screen unlock will still be a swipe, no pattern.
Anybody else experience this?
Any work arounds?
Thanks.

I assume you changed the timeout for the lock engage?

That baffles me until I noticed I did not change the timeout for the Secured lock time to instant. Then I said to myself, this can be useful. Set Secured lock time out to 1 hour and use the password lock option. If I lost or displaced my phone, it will be password locked in 1 hour but if I use my phone constantly every 5-10 minutes, I still have the benefit of the easy to use slide to lock knowing that it is backed up with a password lock after 1 hours of no activity.
Then I try to repeat this on my old Sprint Note 2, Sprint Note 3, Samsung Note 10.1 2014 and I can't do it. Instead of a slide to unlock within the specified Secured lock time, I am greeted with a totally unlock screen. Which is really bad for butt dialing and accidental touch screen use since the screen is not protected by slide to unlock while it is in your pocket.
It seems this is a unique feature to AT&T note 3.
Try turning off the lock screen effect. I had this problem and I changed the effect from watercolor to none and that fixed it.
I have this issue where when I unlock my screen, the touch screen is unresponsive with finger input. S-pen works fine, and all other buttons (volume, home, back, recent apps) works fine too. Just the finger touch stops working.
This issue happens when I unlock my screen 3rd or 4th time. In other words, if I unlock my phone first two times, it works fine but on 3rd or 4th time it will give me this issue. I have to lock and unlock the phone again with power button in order to get it working again.
Interestingly, this issue only happens when I don't have any screen lock setup. If I have any PIN, pattern lock or even swipe to unlock setup, the issue doesnt happen. I suspect that there is some bug with Firmware where it is waiting for the unlock to happen even when no screen lock is setup.
Anyone experiencing the same issue? Any solution for this?
Is there anything available in the app store that will allow me to tap an icon and turn off the screen without locking it? I've tried many and each one locks the screen so that I have to enter my PIN. It doesn't allow me to use the face or finger scanner to get back in. I know that it's pretty easy to do when rooted, but can't find a way to do it unrooted.
