Anyway to disable darkened screen? - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. I don't know if this is the correct section to post this. What I'm basically looking for is a way to stop the lock screen showing the "Enter Backup Password", and stop making it that little bit duller when on fingerprint mode.
I would like it if there was an option to make the screen exact same as the normal swipe lock, but not lock unless there's a fingerprint.
Does that make sense lol?

Wrong section...there is a Help section for question....
If I understood correctly, you wish to remobe the Backup password text as well as the dialer when you have fingerprint mode active?I don't think you can do that without root...

[REQ] Safe lock app

Hi!
Does someone know for the application which could lock phone so others couldn't use it when you're not around?
User interface would be like lock of the safe.
Example:
This would me great.
i'd like too
s2u2 has a password lock on it so that even if someone soft resets your device, they can't access it without the password.

Throttlelock has a cool feature where you connect the dots in a certain pattern to unlock the phone. You can change the grid size, and of course the path to unlock the device.

I personally use S2u2 with no password set, but if theres a time I need to lock the phone from prying eyes, I can launch ThrottleLock manually.
I know about s2u2 and throttle launcher...they work nice but i would like safe looking user interface.
Then use the built in one.
Use it for years now. I made it lock the device after 5 minutes, so noone can use it even if I loose it once
Btw: The built-in one is the only one which locks at boot and also in a way it can't be unlocked without the password or hardreset (afaik)

I can't use Pattern lock screen :(

Since installing the latest version of Omega(v33) for the i9505 I've been unable to use a pattern lock screen, instead the option is grayed out like below

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I haven't encrypted my device and there isn't any administrator set
I've attempted to clear credentials like below, but after clearing credentials the button (clear credentials) doesn't go grey.
And still can't set a pattern lock screen as described earlier
What's going on? How do I fix?

Well it's an app or a setting that is causing it. But it's hard to say what is causing it.
My suggestion would be to do a full wipe. That would be the easiest method.
Agree with the wipe
In my experience, something in the framework or security settings can cause that. Full wipe and if you are running some kind of AOSP lockscreen disable it. Also watch out for xposed modules that are tweaking your lockscreen.
Screen Lock
I had the exact same problem. Do you have an exchange email account for possibly work on your phone? The new upgrade will only allow for PIN or Password if you have an exchange account. I had a long, long wait with technicians before it was apparent.

Rogers S5 Lollipop lock screen block text

I updated to 5.0 a while back when Rogers rereleased it, and every once in a while the numbers/letters on the lockscreen keypad will turn to white blocks. The lock screen is the only place that this happens.
Anyone know what's wrong/how to fix it besides rebooting the phone?

Bump!
Anyone has a better solution than reboot?
It is appearing on T-Mobile I-9505, I-9515 and G-900F.
Do you use SwiftKey? My girlfriends Canadian GS5 is doing this as well, when I searched the internet I found a reference with regards to SwiftKey not playing 100% nice with Lollipop and causing this blockyness on the lock screen. So far there has been no fix other than reboot... She's been a couple of months now with this annoyance, but luckily it doesn't seem to affect the usability, you just have to know which numbers are which Side note: I have a Nexus 5 and use Swiftkey but don't have this problem.
This is apparently just a general lollipop issue, not really tied to anything just a glitch in android, i dont know a fix just thought id throw that out there.

S4 GT-I9515 VE... Clock missing on Lockscreen

You're going to get very little help unless you specify what version of Android you're running, Are you running stock or custom ROM? Did you freeze the "bloatware" or did you uninstall it? What do you mean by personal messages on your lock screen, do you mean text messages?
Its a stock rom : KOT49H.I9515XXU1ANI3
4.4.2

Personal message means in replace of Life Companion in which you get with new phone
So when phone is locked I am missing the message and clock
As I think I deleted the apk by mistake

Seriously .....nothing?
Well first of all you're in the wrong device thread, this is the Sprint S4. The easiest solution would be to reflash the ROM.

Dont ask for fingerprint for 1,2,5 minutes ?

Hi,
is there some option which will leave phone unlocked for specific time after last use ? Like when I am in dark room face recognition does not work and I dont want to put finger or pattern everytime that message comes. IPhone has app called Mesalation for that and I am so used to it.
So basically I want to leave everything ON but I want to be without security stuff for a specific time every time after I lock the phone. Leaving screen on for specific time is not an option, I lock it everytime with a button.
Thanks
There is something like this in Settings>Lock Screen and Security>Secure lock settings. Uncheck Power button instantly locks and set auto lock delay to the amount you need.

Wow that was fast and accurate ! Bravo !
I have Croatian language on it so translation is in half the cases idiotic like this one. This phone has more options to set the phone for your needs than HTC U11 and iPhone 7 combined.
Thanks a lot !
