Guest Shemmy Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 What specific lock widget are you using? Does it show up on the "Widget menu" or is it a shortcut to a specific program? I went to "add widget" and chose "shortcut," then went into the tools menu and selected lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Omega Ra Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 mine works when I lock it from the startmenu...but the buttons don't get locked. One strange thing happened this morning...when I was messing with stuff. At one point just for the hell of it I went to put a password for unlocking and in Settings>Lock (NOT settings>system>lockscreen) There were the usual 2 tabs (password and hint) but there was also the display tab...I was able to select between Windows Classic and Windows Default..I selected Default and got out, but the lock button still brought up the Samsung one...and when I went back the tab was gone again...so there is some registry switch for it somewhere...but what would it be called??

Plus....when messing with the .ese's in \Windows...be careful I accidentally cleared out my My Storage... to be honest i dont know how you got rid of that tab i tried multiple things and it was always still in there..weird....i also noticed something else with the 6.5 slider lock...i had the samsung default lock disabled and had the 6.5 slider lock on and i wanted to see what happened if i called my phone so i did and the stupid samsung incoming call screen came up so i ignored it but when it disappeared for a brief second or 2 i saw the 6.5 slider incoming call screen...it had slide to answer and slide to ignore...so for some reason they put that slider lock/incoming call screen on the phone but you cant even use it due to the samsung incoming call screen....it doesnt make sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Omega Ra Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 well I have the verizon version, so that tab isn't supposed to be there... I am trying to figure out how to bring it back.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dwallersv Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 I have noticed one odd thing....when locked with 6.5...the buttons aren't locked...only the screen...I can still activate the camera when on the lock screen...Not sure which lock s/w you're referring to (native 6.5, or S2U2). S2U2 has an option to lock or keep unlocked buttons in it's config. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hardcoded in their OS implementation. You have to use a solution like VJBrisk to redirect and make the whole thing clean. Second, unless you disable the Samsung OEM dialer, it will fight with S2U2 for CallerID display. I prefer S2U2 because if its appearance, flexibility, and features. So solving these problems is important to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest surgex Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Meh...why did samsung remove the standard WM 6.5 slider lock screen on the i920...it's a very cool thing, I like it ALOT, way better than their stupid lock screen. BTW -- does anyone notice that when you do in fact use the samsung lock screen, the background that you choose is somehow "downsampled" in terms of color? I have the same BG for my lock screen and my home screen, and when I'm on the lock screen (samsung one), I notice huge steps between the gradients of the colors, but then when I unlock the device and I'm back on the home screen, it's much more crisp and the stepping is minimized.. We REALLY need to find a way to get the standard wm 6.5 slider on the VZW i920...Maybe I should ask on the innovator forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Omega Ra Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 hopefully whenever a new ROM comes out for this phone this little oversight will be fixed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ad720 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 I am on an i920 and DO have the option for the "slider" lock. For those of you that don't have it, have you tried checking "Prompt if unused for"? Do you get the "Display" tab after that? The issue that I'm having now is trying to find a way to get the Lock hardware button to use the slider lock screen instead of the the touch-whiz lock screen...

Guest surgex Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 bumpity bump bump splat? I've been having a *lot* of problems with the samsung lock screen lately -- it seems to freeze and lag my entire device, I would *really* like a solution to this and just to be able to use the WM default slider...anyone please? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Oscar9 Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 bump it! Instead of posting a new topic I will just reiterate what I've already read in this post and would REALLY like to know! I am sure someone can come up with the lock screen sooner or later, but i would really like to know how to map the lock button to whatever lock screen we prefer to use... isn't there a registry setting that can be changed or replaced by a new string or value?
