After unlocking how do I get it to go immediately to my home screen? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

After unlocking my phone with my password, it goes immediately to my phone keypad. How do I change it to go immediately to my home screen instead? I've searched through my settings multiple times and in the user guide and have searched online and I can't find anything. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance!!

Are you using the stock launcher?

Sorry to sound dumb, but ... I have no clue. How can I find out?

When swiping the lockscreen do it in the center, if you swipe close to the left it will trigger the phone shortcut and it will launch the phone app

Not trying to be a jerk but can't you just click the power button to shut the screen off? Seems just as easy and doesn't take up screen space.

Lock Screen Widget from the market.

[PLS hlep me]Encountered a serious problem: I cannot place widgets on the homescreen!

I love widgets...suddenly encountered this problem, pls help me
Lack of information isn't helpful. If you are using a non-stock launcher it is possible you have locked it. Press menu on the homescreen and look for "unlock".

Custom ROM/Kernel?
Version etc?
Sometimes I can't even place a shortcut in the homescreen. This happens to me when I use folders.
When I reboot, all the shortcuts that I had placed on the screen are in some folder. It seems it stays opened but not visible.
My suggestion... Reboot.

Yeah, my guess is ADW? If its set to 'locked' then it won't let you do anything on your screens..

what launcher are you using? ...
you need to use your launcher menu> First you may need to long press the phone , contacts and message apps to bring them to the desktop, than use edit to place them in the Dock ( will depend on launcher and settings will vary according to their menu)
If too confusing just download a different launcher from play store and use it
This is stock Touchwiz, right? Looks like it, so I'll assume so...
Go into Applications.
You should see the icons for Phone/Contacts/Applications along with your other apps.
Press the menu button, and click edit. Now you should be able to move the icons around.
Drag the phone/contacts/messages icon down to the dock. It should drop there, and then you'll have your shortcuts back.

It worked. Thank you. It was realy a stupid condition I was in.
Thanks again.
By the way, what is "stock Touchwiz"?
Touchwiz is the stock (or default launcher) that comes with the phone

What is this screen that keeps appearing and how do I disable it?

I see it sometimes when I pull my phone out of my pocket. I have no idea which combination of buttons/screen taps/ or whatever I'm doing to make it appear.
It's an LG memo app that came with the phone. If you double tap volume-up, it starts, bypassing the lock screen. I'm pretty sure you can change this in settings.
BTW, if you double tap volume-down, the camera app starts, bypassing the lock screen. THIS is very useful!

Thanks!
You can disable the memo app if it bothers you or you have no need for it.

That is the built-in screen capture. You may have been accidentally pressing the screen capture key. I can't remember anymore which one is the default, because I have re-assigned it somewhere else. You have the option to save it as image in Gallery app or the Quick Memo app.

No Recent apps after pie update

Hi
I use Nova Launcher and when I press the RECENT button to opened apps it's empty.

Any ideas?
Thanks

I think this is a bug in Pie and also happened to me, most of the time this will resolve by a restart

There is. Just swipe at the beginning of the list (on the left).
