Hi all,
I got an M9 last week and love it to death previously had the One Max.
I have gone through all the setting but cannot find a way to turn of the message preview function on the lock screen. when I go in messages the only option there is to change it from 1,2 or 3 lines can someone help me out here am I missing something?
See if u have this option

thanks for that, its getting close but I don't have the middle option you have only the show all or show none, how did you get the middle one? Ideally what I want and I have it on my One max was when I get a sms that it get the little notification in the top left corner of the screen but I don't have the message contents viewable on the lock screen. any idea how to turn that bit off?
Sorry bro. I don't have m9 yet. Just wanted to see if I could point you in the right direction. I'm still saving money to buy that beauty and retire my m7. Hope you figure it out.

I'm not seeing an option either. You can turn off the pop up message but that seems to be it.

Guys, I think you must have a lock option (pattern/pin) in order to have the "middle" option to hide sensitive content

why must things that work get changed lol

Normal black lockscreen. I open Dolphin to a webpage and hit the power button. Now on my lockscreen I have the settings dots showing through. Anyone else?
That's not a Glitch,Almost all apps have that function,It's so you can jump right back to what you were doing,as soon as you tap it,it will unlock the screen & bring you into your current app

No ****? I don't use a lot of Apps. The only one installed currently is Dolphin on my GN. Neat feature.
it actually is a glitch/bug.
normally the menu buttons should be hidden when you lock the screen, but due to a bug, they don't.
there is no reason for them to be there, as a simple unlock of the screen brings you back.
so this is a bug/glitch and hopefully it will be fixed.
One for and one against. Anyone care to be the tie breaker?
It happens when I lock it from twitter. Maybe other apps as well, unchecked though. Here is a pick of the reproducible problem

The option dots. They hold no function when pressed

it's a bug in ICS that displays the menu buttons when on the lockscreen. it's not suppose to happen. most likely they'll fix it in an update eventually.
If u use ADW EX home launcher that 3 dot menu on lockscreen unlocks the phone by just pressing on it.

Only if you use slide to unlock.

If I don't go back to home screen before I lock. I have the 3 buttons displayed. These seem to override the slide to unlock. This is not really an issue tho I suppose as slide to unlock isn't secure anyway

I assumed it was a feature. It only pops up on slide to unlock setting and I always use that instead of sliding when I have apps open.

But isn't slide to unlock supposed to be a more secure lock over a none lock to prevent accidental phone unlock in your pocket? That's the whole point of "sliding" to unlock, not "pressing".
If that really is a feature they should give us an option to disable it. But I still think its a bug.
How often is something in your pocket going to find those three little dots and hit that specific part of your phone to unlock it..?
Better yet.. how often is your phone screen even on when in your pocket?
This always happens when locking when you are in an app
Or in browser....sort off shortcut feature tap it and you are right back in the app that is open at the moment

I think u missed my point.
It defeats the purpose of "sliding".
Why not just have ONE unlock button instead of sliding and 3dots?, since both have the same function.
Isn't Android about choices? Couldn't I chose to tap the 3 dots vs sliding all the time?

Well, then I want my choice to disable that "feature".
this is a bug, even google has admitted it's a bug. why do you find it so hard to believe that?

That's what I said, I hope ppl joke when they say it's a feature. Otherwise its sad to see "unwise" individuals on XDA (no offense to anybody).
I know this bug might not bother many, but I really want stock Android to be more polished and not half baked.
I hope OTA update is coming soon with fixes for all these little/big bugs.

Why do you care so much? It doesn't matter if people think it is a bug or not if it is a bug it will get fixed. It doesn't make a difference if someone thinks it is a bug or not because either way it will be fixed if it is.

Hey guys. I just got my sgs4 last night and I got 2 questions coming from an sgs3 how can I swipe on the lock screen before entering the password? The sgs3 had that as an option. Last question how can I get rid of the notification on the lock screen for text messages? Thanks.
Press text message icon and swipe to unlock screen

I'm confused as to what you mean? I have a password and when I go to unlock my phone I don't get to swipe anything. On the sgs3 there was a check box in the lock screen settings to enable swipe to unlock while having a password and curious how can I get that or why that option wasn't in the sgs4
I guess it's just something stupid that really isn't important. I do need to use a password tho because I can't trust guys at work when I leave my phone in the truck and it's pretty sad :/
I recently upgraded to the LG Optimus G Pro and I love it and all, but while I'm at work when I get messages, my phone does all sorts of crazy things in my pocket because the screen comes on. I was wondering if there was a setting that I was looking over that would stop it from doing that? I'm trying not to root it because I know the bare minimum about rooting phones, but I did root my Galaxy s2 Skyrocket with youtube tutorials.

What things is it doing? I have the flip case and that keeps it from coming on and such. I think there is a pocket mode in the setting(I could be wrong about this though) check in display section or even under notifications.

Or go into the offending app that's causing you trouble and turn notifications off.

I think there are a few others who have complained about this as well. I don't have a texting plan (I use Google Voice), so I haven't ever experienced this. However, if there aren't any options in the phone settings, there may be another way.
I seem to be on this Tasker kick lately, so when someone has a problem that is related to the phone sensors or events, I tend to think "how can I fix this with Tasker?!" . As a result, I have made an app really quick using Tasker and have even included the project XML if you want to fiddle with it on your own. It does NOT require root. However, it will need you to install another free app called "Secure Settings" and give it administrator rights in your phone settings. All that the app does is wait for an incoming message and checks to see if the proximity sensor detects something in front of it. If it does, it turns the screen off. However, like I said, I don't have a texting plan, so I haven't had a chance to really test it. The app interface is just an "ON/OFF" button and a "Close" button. If it doesn't work, just turn it off or uninstall it. It is set to "OFF" when it is first installed.
Alternatively, you can play around with it if you get Tasker. I think there is still a trial period you can get if you aren't sure if you want to buy it. Let me know if it works or if you have any other questions.
I named the xml file as a .zip just to upload to xda. Just rename the file without the ".zip" at the end and then you can edit and/or import to Tasker.

This is easily fixed, just change the lockscreen to anything other than swipe and the phone will no longer accidentally become unlocked in your pocket

Had the same issue. Do a search for it. Lots of threads. Maybe try Magiclocker or Widgetlocker instead of the LG home screen.

Use pin lock. Solved for me.

Okay I just realised that there is an emergency call button on the screen when you have either pin, password or pattern unlock set. If you just have swipe, there is no emergency call button. Maybe this will help?

Sooo my g pro comes this saturday and i was wondering if there were any tips or tricks you guys had?
Love the moto 360 and super happy with it, though there's one thing I've always wanted to do with it and i haven't seen it posted anywhere.
I'd like to be able to receive a notification to my watch and have the screen NOT wake but still receive both the notification (To view when i'm ready) and the vibration (To know i have a notification).
There has to be a way to do this. Can anyone help?

I got Lightflow to vibrate..but how do you keep the card? The only solution I found was to turn block the notification for the app (in my case Textra) and turn on the vibrate in Lightflow. It would be nice to have the vibrate and card but without the screen on.
I installed lightflow but I don't understand how I'm supposed to use it? I too would be interested in some way to get notifications that are a little more private. Can someone walk me through the steps to set up gmail as an example so I get some sort of notification on the watch without the watch screen coming on? Or a way to get notifications without the subject or content showing up until I am ready to check it?
