Galaxy S5 :: Lollipop 5.0 Update - Now Cannot Unlock Phone With Pattern?
Feb 5, 2015
So I just got the Lollipop update this morning and I setup a pattern lock instead of my fingerprint, was working just fine. I was doing some things around the house with using Google Music All Access to listen to music, went to switch music and I cannot get into my phone, doesn't even register that I'm trying to put in a pattern.
This is not good, can't even get in my phone to call anyone. Nothing is recognizing my touch.

Updated to Lollipop last night and frustratingly I am now getting the same vibration notification for everything where as before it was for example 2 shorts vibrates for texts, 1 long vibrate for emails etc. Because I use my phone mainly on vibrate I need this so I know what kind of alert I am getting in my poket.

I just got my S5 today, upgraded from my three and half year old S2 Skyrocket, However, it seems to have some weird default "unlock effect" where these stupid bubbles of colors appear wherever you touch or swipe on the lockscreen. I've searched around for how to get rid of it, but everything I've found says go to the Lock Screen settings menu and change the "unlock effect." But the lock screen settings menu on my phone doesn't have that option. I tried searching in the settings for "unlock effect" and it comes up with a result, but when I click it, it just takes me to the lock screen settings--which as I said has no option for unlock effects.Did they remove the ability to change/remove the lockscreen effect in 5.0 or am I just completely missing something?

I got the Lollipop update last night and my only complaint - thus far - is that *&$^%&% Flipboard has reappeared and I can't delete it,. The icon is on my Apps tray and if I grab it like I'd do with anything else there's no trashcan icon.

Occasionally when I attempt to make a phone call from either a contact, missed call, or the keypad the screen will flash like its attempting to call but it just goes straight back to whatever screen I had up. It doesn't even say call ended or call lost. Sometimes I have to click call 3-4 times before it goes through.I just cleared my cache and will see if it continues?

I got this phone as a gift, an SM-G920F. And it already has SuperSU in it when I got it. Which means it's already rooted if I'm not mistaken. I'm liking the phone and hoping to know more about it.
Anyway I discovered that you can only change the media volume with the rockers when a video or music is playing. And it defaults to ringtone otherwise. Same thing happens when the media pauses in the middle of playback. But I never change my ringtone volume. It's either on, off, or vibrate.
So I browsed the web for fixes. And found this app called Rocker Locker. I tried it but it was a huge battery drain, so it wasn't a permanent fix. I also found out that this behavior was changed in Marshmallow. Having the rockers change media volume by default.
Tried to check for OTA updates. But it said something about phone being modified. Which was lucky, because I've also read not to take OTA updates while rooted.
Long story short. How do I update from Lollipop to Marshmallow in a rooted phone?

I've been told by a few users that once the Lollipop update was released on Rogers for the Galaxy S5, they have been prompted to de-encrypt their devices.if there is any way to circumvent this 'requirement'.

So after the update everything is appearing backwards on my screen. It's like looking at my phone in a mirror. Even my beautiful widgets clock is reading backwards...

Every time I unlock wake the screen up using the side lock button, i get a notification saying it is searching for GPS - Why does it do this every time? I havent moved locations and I'm also connected to wifi so I don't feel it is necessary to constantly check the GPS position

I have an Samsung Galaxy S5 mini which has an annoying security issue.
When entering an pattern to unlock the phone, and you accidentally enter it wrong, you have to wait 30 second each try.
I've searched through the manual and online, but I can't seem to find a way to disable or extend this feature to 3 try's.

First of all this is minor Bug, but still - BUG!There is phone configuration description:Phone: Xperia X10iFW: android 2.1patterns - default slider + unlock patternBug description1) when phone is locled, press home or power button.2) move slider, to be able to draw pattern.3) start to draw pattern and wait till screen oes black (do not remove your finger). So your pattern is not finished and screen has gone black. Try to remember place of the finger.4) press home or power button again.5) finish unlock pattern from place you was, when screen turned black.6) your phone is unlocked!!!So, if you did not finished your pattern and your screen have gone black you might think, that the phone locked, but this is not true.

My wife has the Lollipop update on her Samsung Galaxy S5 and not without issues. For one the update has completely screwed up her ability to connect to our home WiFi network. But a smaller less trivial problem is that the screenshot function no longer works or has been reconfigured. Any other way to screenshot of the S5 or is this function broken in Lollipop?

Soon, I will install lollipop update on my samsung galaxy s5 smartphone. I know there's lots of comments about the insulation someone well some didn't go well. I'd like to make the installation as smooth as possible. What are your recommendations for moving from Android 4.4. For to lollipop. I had TouchWiz when I got the phone, but I wanted Google now. There's many differences, especially in the apps menu. Will that make a difference in insulation? Are there any other changes I should make before the update?

I have read all the problems with the lollipop update, and have been trying to avoid the update. My phone has now downloaded the update but not installed it. Each time I switch on I get a reminder that the update needs installing which I ignore. I would like to try and find the update and delete it from the phone, but I don't know where it is located or what it is called. I have disabled all the update options so if I can get rid of this file, no more reminders that it needs to be installed.

What is the safest....best way to upgrade to Lollipop? Going thru Kies or OTA (with WiFi on). I just received my notice on my S5 from Verizon to update the software.

I would like to update to Marshmallow from lollipop but my charge port is knackered. Doesn't work at all so can't use odin in any way. Can I just flash a new modem in recovery and then flash a marshmallow rom.

My daughter (whose BB this is) downloaded a smiley pattern unlock from BB App World and entered a password but the app will not now recognise the password and so the handset is effectively locked! Is there a way to get round this such as restoring factory settings?

dkotoric has realised this is due to using the double tap to sleep function on some launchers. Locking your device with that prevents the fingerprint scanner from allowing access for some reason. So today was my first full day with the 6P. It's a truly great device. A whole bunch of times though when I've come to unlock the device I've had to put in my pattern because it won't accept the fingerprint scanner.
The icon at the bottom of the lock screen that should be a fingerprint is just a lock symbol. If I then lock the phone again and reunlock it works as expected. Not sure if this is a software bug or some setting I've got wrong. Can't see a pattern for when it does it though. I've switched 'require pattern on restart' off which has made no difference.
