Hey, i received my desire yesterday and i love it but i cant work out how to do two things,
1. Remove the slide lock screen and just have the pattern? It seems stupid to have to push the button on top, then slide the thing down and then put in a pattern.
2. Make the clock display either my current location through A-GPS or the town that i have put into world clocks? At the moment it either displays United Kingdom or "current location".
Thanks

Delete the clock widget and then add it again, you can select which location it uses.
That worked, Thanks.
Any was to solve the first problem?
I'm also getting a notification about once an hour telling me to set current time when i click on it, it says
unable to detect your current time zone. tap below to select a city. i have to click on GMT+1 but as this is the only option why does android keep asking me?
Thanks

Welcome to the world of Android. Its fiddly at first but will soon become your best friend
I assume your issue comes when the phone can't detect where you are in the world by using your phones network. When that happens, it prompts you to tell it where you are so it can keep things up to date.
Mine did the same, I resolved it by choosing where I was and after a few times it stopped.
If it continues (and becomes VERY annoying) try this:
Menu > Settings > Date & Time > Untick "Automatic" at the top of that screen and set your date, time zone and time manually
Hope that helps

Yeh that fixed it, thanks.
is there no way to change the lock screen then?

I assume you mean the pattern unlock? If so you could try slide unlock similar to the iPhone one.... not tried it myself but if you search for slide unlock in these forums you should find it
No way to change the lock screen. On the G1 you used to be able to press menu which would put you straight on pattern unlock and bypass the lock screen. On the Desire for some reason the only way you can turn it on is via the power button =/
Is there any way to disable the swipe to unlock on the G3 and just have it open to the phone when I tap the screen?
Let me explain... I followed the guide on here ( bliynd dot com *slash* archives *slash* 289) which allows you to use tasker and secure settings to write a profile that will disable your lock screen when you are on your home wifi (it is basically what the next version of android will have built in). I have a pin screen that welcomes you when you wake the phone whenever I am out but when I am on my home wifi it just shows the "Swipe in any direction to unlock" screen but I just want to be able to turn on the screen and have it just show my phone.
Is this possible?

I just noticed that tasker was not running. Enabled tasker and it worked.
I have lollipop and latest google services installed.
In Security I see an option to add smart lock as trusted agents
Then in lock screen options I select 'pattern lock' as my default and set smart lock to disable lock screen when I'm at home.
It works almost as I would expect it would work. At home I still see lock screen but the 'swipe' one with some apps at the bottom. When I try to unlock, it still asks me for the pattern code.
So it looks like at home it adds 'swipe' lock screen on my pattern one.
Edit:
Funny thing but I can click on the bottom icons and it unlocks without pattern and launches the app.
Still, if I want to unlock to home screen, I need to enter code/pattern/password
Is this an expected behaviour?
same issue here
Hello every one,
I tried to sync my G3 Smart Lock with my car using bluetooth. My autoradio has been added in trusted devices but when i try to use my g3 on my car i have a padlocker on my screen and when i click on it i have to do my schema anyway...
Any chance that someone has the solution or is it a LG issue ?
thx for your help

I am having troubles with Trusted places aswell. But, from what I can see in my case, the issue is that it requires the correct location for you to just unlock your phone without entering a code, but fails to aquire your current location. A temporary fix would be an app the fetches your location every time you wake your phone. As far as the bluetooth goes. It sounds like the app is having a conflict with always verifying your connected to the device while using it. Just an idea.
Hi all,
Is it possible to lock the home screen instead of having a different "lock screen" when the device is locked? I would like to see my home screen when device is locked! I do not have the need of a lock screen, with Nova launcher I can set my home screen as I like, and I get the number of new notifications on the icon of the apps which is cool. Ideally, when the screen is locked, there would be a different wallpaper so I can see it at once, or a "lock sign" showing it is locked, but all the rest, clock, notification bar, icons with number of notification, etc... would be my home screen.
I made some thourough search and found the way to "lock the home screen layout", or a "transparent home screen" but this is not about locking the home screen (in the way that you do not open apps by accident) nor seeing the home screen when device s locked.
Best,
Thierry
I am using smart lock with a Bluetooth device. On the pixel 5 also running Android 12, the lock screen shows an unlocked icon in place of the fingerprint icon, and only a single swipe is needed to go to the home screen. On the pixel 6 pro, the fingerprint icon is shown instead, and two swipes are needed to go to the home screen.
Anybody also use smart lock and have similar issue?
I use smartlock but it doesn't seem to work well for me. I have enabled trusted places, my Bluetooth devices and onbody detection.
I find myself having to input my pin even when I'm at home most of the time. Sort of can't wait for gravity box to be compatible with A12, as it forces the device to stay unlocked.
