Just upgraded to KitKat and now I need to swipe to unlock my phone, then enter my numerical password.
Would like to just have the numerical password screen pop-up without the swipe to unlock screen, as I had before with Jelly Bean.
I have my phone set to fingerprint unlock but it says to swipe to unlock. Only after I restart it it asks for my fingerprint. I want it to stay fingerprint to unlock.

Returned to use the phone and 5S will not swipe to unlock. Tried to shut it off and and first it would not do that as well. Tried again and kept my finger on the power button and the phone reset.  Why will the 5S not swipe to unlock?

how to remove the awful offensive-looking 'nokia green' swipe to unlock facility following my firmware upgrade?
I have only just purchased the phone this week, and chose it mainly on looks - I just use a mobile for texting and calls, so I go for a basic phone with good looks.
Because of some initial problems with the software I was advised to update the firmware, but on no account did I ask for this horrible green swipe thing! I just want my inoffensive little grey unlock button back!
Is there an option in my phone somewhere to change back, or do I have to reverse the upgrade or something?I just want it back looking how it looked when I tried it before buying, as that's why I bought it
My new C3-01 has a problem when it refuses to unlock with a swipe, to fix I have to remove the battery & re-start.
View 13 Replies View RelatedWhen my new z3 is locked, I frequently have trouble swiping to unlock the phone. When I try to swipe, I get the nice psychedelic particle trail showing the swipe, but often the phone does not unlock. It can take 3 or 4 attempts to get the darn thing to unlock. It is bad enough that I worry that the phone will simply not unlock no matter how many attempts. Very very irritating. I write firmware for a living. This is a serious bug.

View 5 Replies View Relatedthe screen won't swipe to unlock. How to fix? Can I hard reset? I bought this 5C used from Swappa about 2 months ago. was advertised as "New Screen" - and the screen did look new. Worked great, everything was fine till a few days ago. Now the screen will not rregister the swipe to unlock. I have rebooted the phone by holding the top power button and home button. Phone boots ok, shows messages on lock screen, alarms go off, seems normal, except, the swipe will not swipe. it acts like you are not touching it. Also, about the same time the swipe stopped working , the screen started showing vertical banding..My thought are maybe one of two issues -
1 my son downloaded a bad app, and it locked the phone up. factory wipe should fix this. But itunes won't let me restore the phone unless I turn off "Find my Iphone", which requires I unlock the phone... dead end.Â
2 - I am also think, because of the banding, the "new" screen may be bad. Sound plausible? Â
he does not have a lot of stuff loaded on the phone, so I would like to try a reset before paying $175 for a new screen - that would not fix it if the issue is software.How can I reset the phone?

I have the Galaxy s6. I have the fingerprint screen unlock enabled. But the majority of the time I have to swipe and THEN fingerprint unlock or just swipe to completely unlock it. Which isn't very secure. How can I get rid of the swipe to open feature competely, I want only my fingerprint to be able to unlock it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI use the iPhone 5s with iOS 7.1.2. When I unlock the phone with my finger print, there is an animation where the icons move from the edges towards the center of the screen. After this animation is done, I have to wait approximately an entire second before I can swipe left/right on the touch screen in order to get to the apps on the other screens. Simple 'quick' tasks such as checking on emails will take far longer.

View 12 Replies View RelatedI was "playing" with my phone and first tried the fingerprint, which i had trouble getting in after that. Then i tried the 4 digit code. I went back in to change it back to swipe but it is no longer an option. It says it is turned off by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage. Not sure what I did, but I need getting swipe back. Should have been working instead of playing anyhow...
View 3 Replies View RelatedEach time I swipe to unlock my nexus 6 it always opens to the phone app. Is there a way to change this to just the main screen instead?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a way of that being my default method for unlocking my phone, as I currently have a Device lock kick in after 5 minutes idle, then I have to flick the switch and type in the 5 digit key. I'd much rather just do the swipe. How can I set this as the default option to greet me when I flick the switch to wake up?I have the device lock on as quite often the screen becomes active on it's own, and messes up my widgets etc.

View 5 Replies View RelatedAfter doing recent updates, the normal swipe-to-unlock feature of my Bionic stopped working. When I press the power button, I'm taken right to the home screen; I don't have to unlock. Even if I use Settings -> Location & Security and add a PIN or pattern lock, these do not work; each time I turn the phone back on, I go right back to the home. Sometimes the swipe screen flashes up but then disappears. The "Security lock timer" setting does not matter (i.e. it is set to 1 minute, but even after that, the phone is never locked. Occurs even after a hard reboot (shutdown, remove battery, power back up), although sometimes the swipe to unlock works for a short time. I've never rooted this phone or done much else beside install some apps from the Android Market. I do have Lookout running.

View 5 Replies View Relatedi bought the LG G3 D855 phone using android kitkat 4.4 but am now regretting because it was advertised that it had 2 GB ram but actually gives me only 450mbs ram(this is the biggest factor with speed lagging performance etc) and on top of that does not allow downloaded apps to either manually transfer or automatically to the sd card. meanwhile using the file manager as the word says can only transfer files manually not apps. After factory resetting the memory gets full quickly and therefore the phone is back to its sluggish ways.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to downgrade is I am getting bad battery life draining 5% in 15 min. My phone is a G900A s5. How to downgrade to Kitkat 4.4.4
View 2 Replies View RelatedOkay, so camera always worked perfectly. Yesterday received KitKat update 4.4.2 and now in low light conditions my camera has a purple hue.
This is not a hardware issue. It is clearly a software issue and the 4.4.2 KitKat update appears to be garbage. My girlfriend has the exact same issue since updating to 4.4.2.
So I am lagging behind a little in the updates department. I am currently on kitkat 4.4.4 (towelrooted, TWRP recovery with system files modified). AFAIK, i can't use the OTA update I received months ago for 5.0. Is there anyway I can upgrade (without wiping any data), to 6.0? If not, what would be the best way to upgrade to 5.0 (not a clean install/wipe)?

Â
Since we cannot disable "Reject with message", is there an application, to show me kitkat style answering screen to place slider exactly where it was on kitkat android, so i can use my casing without problems?

I own Nexus 5 for enough long time to know how Kitkat worked. There is one thing that has drawn my attention - when I had Kitkat radio running on my phone, the mobile signal was great but after each upgrade to Lollipop and Marshmallow it's gotten noticeably worse. I was wondering, is it possible to install Kitkat radio when running Marshmallow ROM (Cataclysm)?
