Adding widgets to the lock screen

I have enabled widgets on the lock screen (Settings > Security...). From time to time I can see a big + (plus) sign on the lock screen, and by tapping it I am able to pick up a widget. After unlocking and locking again, the widget is gone and there is no plus sign anymore.
Does someone know what causes the plus sign to show up or how to revoke it?

The + sign is showed when you swipe left or right starting from the upper right or left corner of the screen.
I don't know for the rest of your problem, sorry ^^

Widgets don't disappear, they're just on another screen of your lockscreen. Swipe left or right around your clock and widgets you added will show. It's stupid, and it takes more than one try at first, but it is what it is.

You are both right. Now it works, but it is kind of useless.
Thanks anyway.

Well, I decided not to use lock screen. Now, with press of the power button I have everything needed at my disposal with no limits.

I have another question regarding lock screen. How do you change pop up menu on p7 lock screen. In the bottom row are calendar, calculator, torch and mirror and above used to be weather icons. After reseting my phone for other reasons weather icons are gone and something alse now appears. Does anyone know how to change it to weather again?

Isn't that related to the theme? I don't have them either so I can't be sure.

Alternate lock screens - swipe to unlock twice?

So I'm trying to use alternative lock screens like Picturesque and Next Lock Screen on my Nexus 6 running Chroma ROM.
This doesn't seem to be ROM specific.
I have a PIN, and I use Smart Lock with a pebble and locations for work and home.
On both lock screen apps, when I swipe to unlock I am presented with another lock screen, the stock lock screen, so I have to swipe a second time.
So Next lock screen - I swipe down to unlock, then I'm presented with another lock screen with notifications on it, where I have to swipe up to unlock (stock lock screen).
This is likely user error, but I can't figure it out how to only use 1 lock screen. Thanks for the help!

In android settings > security don't you just need to set the lock screen to none?

I guess without doing that only the 3rd party lock screen will be visible. Tried with go locker. Never had this duplicate luck screen issue. Though I used to have such issues with my galaxy s3 sometimes with a specific lock screen app.

That would work, but then I would lose all security on my phone (no pin unlock as a result of setting no lock screen).
This happened on other ROM's so I don't think it's specific to Chroma, but nobody else seems to be having this issue..?

Maybe you need a custom rom. Some have the option to turn swipe off when a PIN / Pattern is applied. At least on KK they did.
IMHO< The stock lock screen is too good to pass up so maybe not many people have tried. Or maybe some lockscreen apps seek to use root to turn off stock swipe (again they used to try)

I guess I'm going to hope this issue is fixed with 5.1.

[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

Maybe your magazine unlock is paused. When your phone is locked try to swipe up from bottom of the display. There you will get resume/pause(||) option. Resume it. Let's us know if issue still persists.

Currently having the same problem as the OP. One moment it was working fine, and now it doesn't work at all. I have the magazine unlock setting on and ticked all the boxes and when I lock my phone it just shows the home screen wallpaper. I've checked the settings on the lock screen itself, there is a lock icon but when I press on it nothing happens. If I add my own images into the magazine unlock folder, they work fine and like the magazine unlock feature should work, but I really enjoyed seeing the random photos that would appear before. I honestly can not find a fix for this and I don't really want to factory reset my phone, so would really appreciate if someone has a work around for this.

You need to unlock your lockscreen wallpaper
Now, go to you lockscreen then swipe up from bottom
There are several settings there..
Press the locked icon
And you can change the time or another setting for your lockscreen wallpaper
So you can have your random magazine again..
Hope it helps you

I tried going through your steps DTsPro but sadly it wouldn't work. Like I said if I add my own pictures to the magazine unlock feature it works no problem and I can use the swipe up unlock/lock feature on the lock screen with those images, the moment I delete them and try to use the built in magazine unlock images, I just get a static image and I'm unable to select any of the icons on the lock screen settings however it says on wallpapers and themes that magazine unlock is selected... It is a very weird and somewhat annoying problem that I just can't seem to find a solution for, but thank you for at least trying to help

Same as me p20 I have problem as well. Magazine unlock, whatever I do it doesn't work at all. Any help plz

On lock screen swipe from bottom of screen. It will show couple of options. Don't let screen unlocked with face recognition or fingerprint. These options appears on the lock screen when you swipe from the bottom of screen on locked screen. There is a lock icon on these option, tap on it and unlock it. It will show message that screen will change everytime. Try these options with cool mind. I was not able to figure it out for weeks. But now I have and it work like charm.

simple solution as it might sound, but change your theme and keep going through the process untill it shows the pop-up msg asking you if you want to keep or discard Magazine unlock and choose to keep, Voiala it goes back again.

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...
