Galaxy S5 :: How To Get Camera To Work From Lock Screen
Aug 11, 2015
I am unable to get the camera to work from the lock screen. I have the icon in the lower right side and it makes those rings like it is activating but it does nothing. Also have the phone icon also and the same thing happens there too.
The lock screen camera button doesn't work! The camera button appers but it doesnt work!, Also the proximity sensor its not working well (the screem doesnt get black on calls and I accidently mute the call or put it on speaker)
1) the screen doesn't lock anymore; i mean the slide to unlock thing doesn't appear : when i lock the phone the screen just goes black but when it's in my pocket it unlocks itself and start messing around like calling by itself!
2)the central button now only lights the screen; it doesn't go back to the main screen anymore! i have to use the button <-- (back) as many times as i entered in a folder to go back to the main screen..
3)the phone doesn't ring anymore! i can listen to music or whatever but it will just vibrate when someone calls me! also when I try to change the sound level with the side buttons, even if i go max, it will say :Ringer Volume silent ringtone selected
4)the camera crashes as soon as i open it, it's just black as if something was blokcing the camera.. the only option reamaing is to turn off the phone and then reboot!
5)by the way when I press the shut off button usually you have 3 choices : *plane mode *power off *xxxx (i just can't rember what it was)well now i only have one option: power off!
6)Oh btw it has already happened to me a few days ago; after much searching in the internet with no answers i simply did the 'factory data reset' thing and it worked!
Is there any way to turn off the shortcuts for the camera and the phone because that is an easy way to gain access to the phone and bypass the fingerprint unlock feature!
How to get the quick access camera on the lock screen?New to android, have played with all the settings. everyone other S5 have a quick access to their camera on the lockscreen besides mine.
The camera short cut on the lock bar does not work after latest update 5.1 done today on iPhone 4S.The update was done on wifi without interface of iTunes as the iPhone setting was showing an alert.
The camera doesn't work. I open the camera application with both methods (button on side and icon in apps) but it does the red dot thing in the corner for about 4-6 seconds then disappears and applications tells me the app is running. I try to go to the app but it wont go on it.
Problem 2:
The green key, dialler and contacts icon on the home screen do not work at all. I have no way of opening my dialler as there is no option for it.
I updated my firmware to v40.0.005 last week. Please be aware the problems were both there BEFORE i made the update and are still here after the update.Is there any way of doing this without soft/hard resetting. Also, does soft/hard reset mean you lose the data in an app (eg your high scores in a game like bagatelle)?
I did a yesterday a factory reset on my LG g3 because I had some problems with it. And today when I wanted to take a quick picture I couldn't find the Camera shortcut which was usually in the right low corner... I looked thru the setting but I couldn't find anything. (My phone is running the 5.0 lollipop because for the T-Mobiles phones the 5.1 update is not out yet). how I can get that shortcut back?
I'm trying to set up the fingerprint lock on the edge 6. So I've gone to setting and security and all that. I've added both thumbs as fingerprints. And under lock screen type it says fingerprint. Yet every time I lock the screen and hit the home button it says swipe to unlock. Even tho I go back to settings and under lock screen it says fingerprints. What step am I missing? Also I restarted the phone and the first time I pressed the home button it asked for my fingerprint but then after that it went to swipe screen. What should I do to fix this so it's fingerprint every time.
I got nexus 5 a week back and sometimes the screen lock does not work even if I click power button to lock the screen. I just have to wait to get battery down then it starts working, i restart the phone couple of times but the same problem appears screen does not get locked automatically nor manually.
I don't like this feature to be unlocked, that is why I have a passcode on my iPhone. Now, whenever my you daughter is able to get her hands on it, she fills up the memory space with random pictures. This feature would not be bad if it had the option to disable.
I did look through quite a few threads and wasn't able to spot this subject. how to disable this feature?
Sidenote: What was Apple thinking with this feature? avoid a couple of taps before being able to access the camera. Having it available on the lock screen defeats security. I prefer security.
I would like to remove my camera from the lock screen. I went to settings and I don't see an option to turn this off. Does anyone know how to do this? I have already updated to the new ios5.1 software
Are there no camera controls on the Mini Pro lock screen in 4.0.4? I can't find it and don't see any options for it. Other Xperias in the first batch of updates got it....
Using a Bluetooth device go smart unlock your phone?
I can register my Bluetooth headset for the function but my phone still gets locked and requires my fingerprint after the screen is off for a few minutes
My phone is locked due to exchange security policies.
Have just updated my 808 purview to FP2 how do you get slide lock screen to work. And I also fort we was getting back old style video editor like in n8 where you can join 2 clips together where is it.
Wishing I hadn't bothered with the lollipop update as this has really diminished my phones usage.
I had been able to use the "ok google" voice command to make phone calls, change music etc while using my bluetooth headset connected to my motorbike helmet whilst my phone was in my pocket with the screen off & locked.
Since updating to lollipop I cannot get this to work on the Z3 & I am really disappointed with this.
Reading feature articles regarding loliypop this should work from the lockscreen but it doesn't & I now really wish I hadn't bothered with this gaudy update, for me lollipop is a huge backwards step - not liking it at all.
I did the ios5 software update and I have the camera icon in the home screen lock mode, but if you go into the camera from your lock screen and then press the home button, it takes you to your unlocked home screen without asking for the password.How do I change it so that it is always password protected?
Ever since I updated to IOS 5.1 when I select camera from locked screen it lifts the screen a little but doesn't go to camera, I even tried double clicking home screen and it does the same.
with this after updating to IOS 5.1 my camera from lock screen not accessible which was happeing easily earlier although its avilable there side to unlock screen as a new feature.
With the new update, the new slide-camera-button-to-activate-camera feature has a major downfall... you are able to completely bypass entering you password and access all the phone information! After sliding the camera button and getting into the camera, simply pressing the button takes you right into the phone without ever having to enter your password. This is a major problem! Anyone know how to deactivate that camera feature or simply a way to prevent access to my phone?
