Disable slide to unlock ?!

Is there any way to disable the slide to unlock feature and just have the pattern unlock ?

Also in this boat, searching leads to several threads like this

Yes you need to uncheck the auto launch of the play app.
I don't recall where I seen it.
I'll post when I find it.

Open the play app, push the menu button and select settings.
Then uncheck auto start.

Forget what I said.
I thout you meant when you slid the screen and not the slide bar on the screen.
There is no way that I have found.

That's where we go to set the pattern unlock, what we want to know is how to remove the slide to unlock that comes up before the pattern unlock

This needs a bump, so here it is. I'm in this boat all of a sudden because my employer enforces an entry code for devices for a corporate account. I'm getting really unhappy having to slide, enter pin every time !

Try the app "antilock"
Its free on the market and does exactly what you want, I believe. I use it myself so I don't need to slide twice as I use widgetlocker
Hope this helps!

works like a charm!

Uninstalling, sometime after turning the app on my phone started to act "funny" or erratic... After uninstall everything seems to be normal again.

Mine too, It started flickering like mad and asked me for the code over and over.

[Q] NFC on Lock Screen fix?

Is their an apk that runs so I can use NFC tags without having to enter my password every time? I found one that worked with the Galaxy Nexus, but didn't say anything about the Nexus 4

AOKP has the option under Nfc to enable this. Other than that I can't find anything on it. Been searching for a couple days now.

Apk? You mean an app? I believe Tasker can do this (maybe a plugin like Secure Settings is needed to disable the lock screen)

no aokp is a custom firmware

Can anyone who has NFC active whilst locked give me some idea on what extra battery drain is evident (if at all).
Thanks

What app works for the Galaxy Nexus? I've been looking for such an app for a long time.

Is there a mod for NFC to work whilst screen is ON but password not entered?
All I've found is screen off mod - but that seems to get high battery drain.

Finally found a solution that I'm happy with. I used Exposed Installer with NFC Lockscreen Enabler Module and that did the trick. You can even configure it to only work when the screen is on with the password screen being displayed, saves on battery life a lot.

How do you fix home and work locations on google now?

Always liked how it knew automatically where home and work was. But recently I went to night shift at work and google now keeps wanting me to change work to home, home to work. My saved addresses are correct but it keeps asking me every time. How do you fix this?

With the new maps it can be checked and set in the profile area (head and shoulders icon on the rhs of the search bar).

You can also just go to the maps website and set it there

Open up Google now and scroll all the way down and press menu > my stuff> places and there's settings for home and work locations. The options for home, work, etc only show up there if in Google now cards you add that specific place as your home or whatever the case is

As I remember it comes as a part of the kernel for those devices including LG G2, since there aren't any custom kernels out for these devices yet I highly doubt that's a possibility right now.

you can opt for proximity actions for locking and unlocking, although it would drain your battery a bit.

I'm using Wakeup Touch Nexus which is available in Google Play for free. Dint notice any battery drainage. Very nice app. If anyone got better app can suggest me too...

It's not really "double tap", I use "Gravity Screen" as an alternative to the on/off button

Pretty much every major OEM like Sony, HTC, LG and even Chinese manufacturers like OPPO , Xiaomi etc have implemented double tap to wake on their large screen phones and I really don't know what's stopping Samsung to implement in spite of so many Note generations .
Only way to properly implement this is using a custom kernel for the device

Tap Tap App @ Play Store
Tap Tap App works for me. Galaxy Note 4.
Requires configuration.

Lost functionality, how to get it back?

OK, I've got a VKWorld VK6050S (note the S). This will be a long story, but I feel I must post many details. Otherwise, there will be that smart-*** posting "but you can't do that!!!"
Had the phone for several weeks now. Took a LONG time to set it up and get it running EXACTLY the way I wanted it to. As part of that process, I installed Nova launcher, and an app called "DTSO". Anyway, when it was all set up.... I could double-tap the home screen to lock, and the display would go black. Then, *without using the proximity sensor*, I could double-tap the middle of the BLACK screen, which would cause the display to wake up and display the lock screen. I didn't set a lock on this screen, so I could just swipe up to clear it. Note I could double-tap the BLACK screen to wake it up.
So I was happy with the way everything was set up. Only problem was, it was not stable. Most of the time, if you tried to take a picture, the phone would freeze. (forever). Or sometimes a reboot would take HOURS (starting after the animated vkworld logo displayed) I tried several suggestions. It was not a bad memory card, and it was not corrupted files on a memory card. I tried clearing various caches, etc. Nothing worked. Finally, in desperation...I went to the factory boot menu (chinese, but I found a guide for it) and cleared hardware cache / emmc / whatever. That left me with *** CHINESE LOLLIPOP ***, and all my apps/settings/data were GONE...
(sigh)
So I had to start from figuring out how to switch back to English. And then starting all over again. I wasn't back to "zero". I went back to "minus one". (!!!!)
After many hours setting up the phone again with dozens of applications, getting my account settings input, getting it all configured...
The only thing I can NOT do now is to double-tap the black screen to wake it up. The phone is rock-solid STABLE now, so that is an improvement. But I want it to wake the screen with a double-tap, like it did before!!!
I'm now using "Go" launcher. But I (temporarily) tried "Nova" launcher, like I had it before. DTSO does not work like it used to. It won't wake up the screen while black. Again, this USED TO WORK, so it's not a hardware issue. What did I do wrong? What did I miss in setting this thing up again?

Lock screen time out issue

I have my locks creen time out set to instantly. But at least 2, 3 times a day it resets back to 25 minutes. I'm using fingerprint scan to unlock. Any help?
Thanks

I would start by checking to see if you have my places set up or maybe trusted locations .

I'm not exactly sure how it works, but I'm pretty sure if you set something like your home network up as a trusted location, then I think that will override your lock screen settings.
