Lockscreen animation disappears - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

someone try this to make sure its not just me... unlock the phone regular, and of course the normal fade in home screen animation appears... but then lock the phone, slide over to open the lockscreen camera widget, then press home and lock the phone again. now when you unlock the phone, does it skip the fade in animation? cause thats what happens on mine, only way to get that smooth unlock animation back is to reboot the phone. BTW im on completely stock 4.2.1 no root locked bootloader stock recovery.

Animation is gone after doing all that so its not just you

lockscreen square?

hey people whaaaup!!!
look when my phone on lockscreen and i press the back arrow i see white transperent square what is this ?
and how can i get rid of it?
thxx
This is due to the new jelly bean lockscreen having widgets, if you have pattern lock on you'll see that it brings up the pattern to unlock. It pretty much brings it up if you're using a widget and want to bring the section to unlock

Question on lock screen

Buddy of mine got the S4, when he swipes down on the lock screen the widgets come down, the little pad lock and circle to actually unlock the phone never move, often it takes multiple attempts to finally unlock the phone. When I had my S4 I remember the lock and circle moving around? Is there some setting he had active or deactivated that is causing that?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Circle that moves is swipe unlock. unlock style set to None.
His is set to swipe.

I've noticed this too. If you grab the bottom of the widget box around the clock you can resize it. If you drag it all the way up, as tight around the clock as possible, then the unlock screen works as you would expect, but when you have expanded the widget box, you get this issue with the lock you are describing. I hope this helps.
Ps if you swipe on the clock from left or right you will see the border of the widget. It's kinda hard to grab and resize. If you expand it all the way down it shows a button to edit the widget.

Lockscreen anim disappears when camera used.

Once I use camera by sliding to the right most of lockscreen, then lock and unlock again the unlock animation is gone and I have to reboot to solve the problem. I had this on 4.2.2 and still have on 4.3. Anyone
has a suggestion?

Hidden lock screen slider theme

Hi some time ago I was using the widgetlocker app and I loved one of the experimental features that disabled the softkeys, the google now and the notifications bar so pretty much the only way to unlocking the phone was through the slider, so if I made the slider icon invisible, i'd have a simple secure lock screen which only I could unlock. Anyways widget locker doesn't have this option anymore plus I dont like how the music widget doesnt appear and dissapear when you have music playing like in the stock lockscreen. So I would appreciate if someone had an Idea on how to make my lockscreen like this again, btw im rooted. THANKS EVERYONE!!

Go Locker issue

My phone bypasses the lock screen and goes straight to the home screen every time I reboot. How do I fix it so that after a reboot it goes to the lock screen / Go Locker first?
This is a problem with ALL the lockscreen apps in general. Try a different launcher with the same locker app, see if it resolves the issue. If not, then you're better off with the stock lockscreen.
Please enable the Security options in One lockscreen only.
