i used to have lock screen shortcuts like the camera and phone apps on the bottom left and right on the lock screen but for some reason they are gone. checking the lock screen tab in settings i dont see "shortcuts" anywhere. i tried adding a user account and it had the shortcuts but my own owner account still doesnt. any thoughts?
In my experience lock screen shortcuts are hidden when you don't have a sim card.

Am I overlooking something here? I can't seem to modify the lock screen if PIN is enabled? My exchange admin requires a PIN code so the lock screen only shows the clock and then the number pad. I can tap and hold the clock and remove it but it comes back, I don't see anywhere to add extra widgets to the lock screen?
Swipe the clock to the right and touch on that BIG plus sign.
Next enter your PIN and you can then add a widget
I've tried that, the clock background gets whit but just kind of tilts to the right a bit, does not move at all. It won't swipe to the right and there is no plus sign. I can hold down and it will shrink but that only leaves me the option to delete. Now opens ok,
kangy, same thing with my Nexus 7, didn't have any plus icon. I'm can remove widget, too. But after unlock/lock circle it appears again and I still have no plus icon.
At least I'm not crazy then I wonder if you disabled the pin, changed the lock screen and put the pin back it would stick. I had to jump back to 4.1.2 for logmein or I would try it out

You're not crazy, it happened to me as well. Frustrating since the only way to remove my pin is to remove my exchange account. Hopefully someone can provide some clarity here
That's strange. I have a pin on my admin lock screan but I can add widgets on it, and allso on the
second user.
This is not an issue with the pin per se it has to do with the Exchange policy. So far I have yet to find a way around it with my exchange administrator. I think it is up to Google to not enforce this daft policy.
I can now get access to the clock (click clock once, PIN PAD highlights, enter PIN, clock opens). But still can't change or add widgets. How's that done?
Definitely has something todo with an exchange account policy. Was experiencing the same problem, deleted my work exchange account, and the widgets reappeared.
Why on earth would any exchange policy alter the ability to see widgets (or take pictures from my galaxy nexus) without logging in first? Really annoying.
my guess is because you can make one of those widgets emails
I was wondering this as well. My work made me install the Google device policy app. One of the policies turns out to be 'disable lock screen widgets'.
I installed dashclock on my note3, but don't see a way to activate it. The lock screen has only a single page. Maybe because I have a pin enabled?? Anyone have an idea of how to get working?
(Sprint version)
Go to Settings, Device, Lock screen and enable Multiple Widgets. Dashclock works great on mine!
no such option

I don't have that option on my lock screen settings. Sprint Note3. I have disabled some apps, maybe that did it.

I have Sprint N3 too. Settings>Device tab> Lockscreen (under personalization) > Multiple Widgets - ON
Wake up the device but don't unlock. Tap on the clock to enlarge it. Swipe to the Right to reveal a blank lock screen page with a big "+" on it. Tap that then scroll down to DashClock. Works great on mine.
Don't see that
When I tap lock screen the available items are:
- screen lock
- clock widget options
- personal message
- owner info
- lock automatically
- lock instantly
- action memo
There is nothing about multiple widgets. Also, I can't tap to increase the clock size on the lock screen.
I just removed my PIN security and I get multiple lock screen. Truned PIN security back on and no dashclock. That must be the issue.

Yeah, i just tried PIN security on mine and it removes those options. I guess displaying widgets with potentially sensitive info on the lockscreen isn't too secure so it unlocks directly to the home screen.
Can anyone help me to remove lock screen shortcuts or widgets from KK 4.4.2 in G2?
Just tap and hold and then slide to remove... simple as that (I've just removed all stuff from lock screen) U can slide on main window right and left to see is nothing on sides (lock screen has side windows too If U add more widgets than one)
Hey all.
Does anybody have any idea how you change/remove widgets from the lock screen?
I'm using knock knock code, I have the large clock in the top half but wanted to change it to a calendar.
I can't for the life of me work out how your do this!
Anybody got any idea?
Thanks.

Swipe the clock widget to the right, then swipe back to the clock/unlock screen. Then you will be able to long-press on the clock and remove it. Then you'll see 'tap to add widgets' and you can choose the calendar.
Yeah, Ive tried that, It just does this lol.
Try it without Knock Code (with swipe).
Yip, Tried that ... Same thing ..
Trying to work out what the arrow at the bottom is for, it dont see to do anything.
I never even used to have the knock knock cope option, I updated my phone via the support tool, I have the knock know code but cant change the lock screen widget. I mean even when im on the lock screen i used to be able to swipe right to start the camera and now i cant even do that.
I'm thinking something has been changed in the update, Can anybody on the same build as me confirm they can still swipe from the lock screen to start the camera app and change lock screen widgets? ... Its definitely different than before.
Try using swipe lock screen and lock your device. Then wake the device. Swipe down on the clock. Then press and hold the widget. You should then have the ability to remove it. If you have no other lock screen widget, you will end up with a huge + giving you the option to add another widget. If this doesn't work (it should), reboot and try again.

It wont budge, Before if i had a pin code at the lock screen set i could just swipe the pin code area down, It then ask me for my pin, I could then long press the clock and a option to "remove" would be at the top of my screen, When the widget area was blank i would see a large + sigh, I could tap this and be given a number of widgets i could put there!
The clock just wont budge now no matter what i try!
Same Deal Here
Ever since the update, it seems I can't remove the default clock widget either. Swiping down does bring up the arrow (just as it used to) but it won't stay on long enough to long press the clock (as soon as you take your finger off it goes back to normal). I'm going to do some experimenting with WidgetLocker, see if I can't get it back to where I want it (obviously figuring this out would be ideal, but I'm starting to wonder if it's possible anymore. I've seen articles about enabling widgets, but haven't found what they're telling me to look for).
Edit: Got it figured out. It turns out I had somehow turned off the lockscreen widgets & disabled the feature through Secure Settings.

Don't know if you've been back to this thread but changing Secure Settings settings worked for me.
So, my S7 edge yesterday, had a reboot when i put him on charge.
When it started, it had changed the lock image and my shortcuts have missing from lock screen.. I have the option turned on settings but no icons on the lock screen. Has this happen to anyone ?
