The issue is on the CM7 side, not within WL. Any fix is going to have to come from the ROM developers. Note that the issue also occurs with MIUI if certain themes are applied. Again, not the fault of WL.
[Android Apps and Games] All Day On XDA:
I see - how frustrating.... I hope the CM7 fix this soon - thanks for the heads up

Unfortunately new update has a bug. I find it very annoying.

Device: Samsung Galaxy S - JVH 2.3.3

WL version: 2.1

Problem: Every time the screen goes off market is popping in background. When i turn the screen on i can see market app running in the background for no reason...

I've tried messing with settings, but it's no help.

Tested and it's 100% new WL issue. For now i went back to 2.0.2 and everything is ok.
[Android Apps and Games] Arielo1:
Confirmed i am having the same issue

most annoying is when u set a custom notification sound for lock screen sounds it plays with a huge delay
[Android Apps and Games] Extraxyz:
When using LauncherPro, there used to be an animation when unlocking the screen (the zoom-in animation that's part of LauncherPro). Does anyone know why it isn't there anymore and how to get it back?
[Android Apps and Games] elburna:
Because the animation was always a bit laggy and dozenz of people where asking to remove it :)

[Android Apps and Games] Arielo1:
this app needs some major updates

service is drinking battery

conflicts with original lockscreen EVEN after disabling it

when someone calls you widgetlock makes the screen black and cant answer phone for 2 sec.

and many other little things i forgot

shame there is no refund now....
[Android Apps and Games] bryant_16:
Hopefully the dev will fix up all these bugs that have been spotted by the users quick.
[Android Apps and Games] Arielo1:
untill this app will get's an update there will be a new president in the USA

this has been my number 1 app wich i couldent live without it

now i am looking for alternatives anyone suggestions ?

impossible to work with this app

Two questions on a Droid Pro running Gingerbread:

My camera button (side key) is unlocking the screen. Can that be prevented?

After the Gingerbread update, easywake no longer works. I formerly woke the phone up with the keyboard. Doesn't Work any longer.

Advice?

Save created lockscreen

Hey Guys sorry if this has been adressed already (i did a search but didnt find anything).

I have bought widgetlocker sometime ago and i love the app.

But i have the following issue\question:

My htc desire is running on a custom xda user rom so it (needs) updating about once a month.

everytime i update my phone (format it etc) i need to recreate my lockscreen.

Is there a option or a way for me to create a lockscreen and save it to a file on my sd so i can import it later?

or even create multiple lockscreens and save them on my sd card so i can swap easily from one lock screen to the other.

Thanks in advance for the anwsers..
[Android Apps and Games] traumatism:
This would be very useful. i wonder if titanium backup can help with this for the time being.
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
My wallpaper comes back, (via my TiBu backup) and my custom slider, but not the widgets, that is an issue with Android not being able to restore widgets, not something WidgetLocker can fix.
[Android Apps and Games] traumatism:
Yeah that actually popped into my head afterwards as i realised it does the same with home screens with widgets. icons aint a problem but yeah this aint gonna be fixed as easily it seems
[Android Apps and Games] amoramor:
Where is it???I can't find it...!!!
[Android Apps and Games] sjap84:
ok thats a shame it would be very nice to save it no other option then to remake the lockscreen every month.

Thanks for the quick reply.:D
[Android Apps and Games] blinde:
Music controls would be nice to have.
[Android Apps and Games] lozza69er:
Why does widget locker not work with green power? Green power starts data connection when screen is unlocked with original screen lock.

Yet is does not recognize the screen unlock using widget locker and in turn will not start data connection.
[Android Apps and Games] sjap84:
you can just add a music control widget?? or doesnt that work?
[Android Apps and Games] blinde:
Yes I can. But I haven't found one which works with SGS2 and it's default samsung music player.
[Android Apps and Games] mr_absinthe:
Try GOTO Lockscreen, less bugs.
[Android Apps and Games] elburna:
Yeah but you forgot the essentials: less functionality and less customizability as well. So congratulations to a more than simple Lockscreen without bugs... :rolleyes:

...via Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] Arielo1:
yes GOTO Lockscreen cant be customized i want to use different sliders etc...

lost my hope with WL sadly

Not cool
[Android Apps and Games] sjap84:
you need to pay a dollar for it but maybe you can try this:

http://www.androlib.com/android.application.org-koxx-pure_music-wEmA.aspx

it says specialy samsung standard music player but you then have a widget.
[Android Apps and Games] blinde:
Thanks but I tried that also and it didn't work.
[Android Apps and Games] sjap84:
you can also try a non stock music player to get it working this should also work i think i do it also on my htc desire.
[Android Apps and Games] PrometheanFire:
Just wanted to say thanks for a great app, works perfectly and Kevin responded immediately to an email I sent asking for help with a particular issue. Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] ySchaub:
I realy love widgetlocker, it's my #1 app! theres only one thing I'd love to have: A 'music mode'. Besides the "normal lockscreen" you could design a screen who's only active, if music is playing. This way we could make use of the different kinds of widgets, that some music-apps (playerpro,poweramp, etc.) offers. Right now, we're - of course - also able to place a musicwidget on our lockscreens, but for me it just takes too much space and I dont want to see the music widget if theres no music playing. I know theres 'phantom music controll', but its not perfect.

what do you think?
[Android Apps and Games] daydreamer1204:
I am using LG Optimus 2X and set the Easy Wake Mode on the Widget Locker V2.1 but can't wake up the screen by pressing the volume buttons, no matter I choose the lock screen volume control options or not. Any help?

Please add missed call and SMS notifications to the sliders. That would be amazing

Here's a problem on the HTC EVO

I am having a problem on my HTC EVO. When I press the power button my phone locks. But when I slide to unlock it, it unlocks and then the HTC clock/weather widget animation plays. Even when I don't have that widget on any of my home screens. I am running Froyo .3 leaked version. I'm not rooted or running any custom roms. Just stock Froyo with Sense.

Update: This even happens when I exit tool mode.
[Android Apps and Games] dfine1966:
Have you been able to contact Qik for HTC EVO 4G about the problem with WidgetLocker yet and have you heard anything about a possible fix? I know the latest version of Qik for HTC EVO 4G causes the phone's default Home to reset every time the user long presses the Home key. I also know that I have to uninstall the update for Qik to have Widgetlocker work.

Because of some of the problems I had with Widgetlocker, I decided to get a refund, at least until certain problems were fixed, plus the EVO was just getting Froyo, so I decided to uninstall before the 24 hour window. I am still interested in repurchasing Widget Locker, but I am still have some reservations about the app. Besides the bug with Qik, it bothers me that you could bypass the lockscreen through the Notification screen, and actually open a program through the Notification area without unlocking the phone. I realize you could hide the notification screen, but I wanted it to look like the original lock screen which shows the notification area, but the Notification area stays locked. It looks like that problem might have to be either fixed by another application or for me to just hide the notification area all together.

I did like the look of the different lock screens other than EVO's sense slide down. I love the idea of being able to change the screens and to add apps or widgets to work on the lock screen.

I just found this thread and wish I had seen it before I made the rash decision to return the application. I probably could of disabled it until certain things were fixed. It seems the publisher of the App is very attentive and listens to feedback, and improves his product. I will monitor this site and then decide if I really want to repurchase again, this time for real.
[Android Apps and Games] Nusi:
Signed :).

I have been looking the whole day for 1x1 widgets which do that and which would look nice beneath all the other rounded controls. I just want to see a nice looking number - missed calls, missed SMS, unread emails. Something like that.

The best I could come up with is 'Call Log Widget'. It looks ok-ish with transparent background, but the colored background looks awful in Widgetlocker. And it comes as 2x1 or 2x3 widget.

Then there is also 'Last Call Widget', which is simply broken in 2x1 layout, because it crops its text. Its 4x1 layout is fine but too big for what I actually need.
[Android Apps and Games] speedweed:
How the h3ll did you manage that? :confused:

Is there anything in settings? Cant find anything, been over settings a few times now.

It looks like this:

The date shown means eighth of july where i come from.

Cant find european setting :(
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
It has to be getting that from the phone settings, regional etc..
[Android Apps and Games] iTouch24:
have u tried this:

http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.kanokgems.smswidget

works with sms, missed calls and gmail
[Android Apps and Games] +BroNNoS+:
I think that this must be indeed a phone setting as I did not changed anything in the settings of WidgetLocker. It was just displaying the date like that "out of the box". Maybe you should check that Speedweed..
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
In WidgetLocker go to Settings > Look & Feel > HTC Weather Animations > Disabled

The problem caused by Qik appears with all programs that bind to the Home key. I did receive a response from them:

Also worth noting is that the bug doesn't occur with Froyo.

Unfortunately Android does not allow third-party apps to display but disable the notification bar. There is a partial work around, the advanced setting for "Retain System Keyguard". This setting has WidgetLocker sit on top of the system's keyguard rather than dismiss it as soon as WidgetLocker launches. This blocks things like the long-press of home. It also means that if you launch any application, the system keyguard will popup and you must slide to unlock. The notification bar is still expandable but if you select something from there you'll see the system keyguard. Also worth noting is that once the system keyguard is dismissed it can't be reactivated without the screen going off.

Try System Settings > Date & time > Select date format
[Android Apps and Games] brandonb81:
Great job!! I bought it. Definitely best purchase I made and the best lockscreen replacement on the market in my opinion. Well done sir.
[Android Apps and Games] registeredmale:
I've tried the above steps a few times now and have not been able to recreate the issue in this manner. I haven't run into the problem today but will try to give more details next time it happens. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] speedweed:
Tried that, and stil the same results. I have Samsung Galaxy S, not sure if hat anything to do with that.

Anyway, i just use another clock widget now in WL, and removed the WidgetLocker clock, so its fine for me now.
[Android Apps and Games] AndyCr15:
I'm not sure what's changed, but all of a sudden I have to unlock widget locker and then the SGS's own lock screen. I upgraded to 1.2.4, but still the same.

I've cleared the Home Default from within the app, but when I try and set it to be Power Strip it's FC. If I just select Launcher Pro, it accepts it, but I still have to unlock twice...

What should I do?
[Android Apps and Games] registeredmale:
So far so good, I haven't experienced the issue w/the search button again and the update works great.

Also, not sure if anything can be done about this but I noticed that if I press the home button 3 times fast in succession, I am able to bypass widgetlocker. I was present in the previous build as well, just wasn't sure how to recreate it until now.

Thanks again for a great product!
[Android Apps and Games] dfine1966:
Well, I decided to re-purchase after seeing some of my problems were taken care of with updates on your side and my side(EVO now with Froyo). So far so good. One suggestion. When changing what is on the screen, all it does it change the default settings. Unless you remember, what the default setting for each style, you would have to start all over again and try to remember what you actually started with. If possible, can you leave all the defaults to stay with what they actually started with, and as you change what is on the lock screen, in a new area it says unsaved style, and you have a place to save your new style, just like HTC does with Scenes for my EVO, it allows you to save your theme, then leaving all the defaults, ie Widget Locker, Sense, Android, iPhone settings all alone. I hope I explained myself ok.

Other added themes would be nice also, including Windows Mobile 7, Palm Pre/WebOS.

Thanks again, this program shows great potential.

[Android Apps and Games] E_man5112:
Ok, new problem. I posted a while back that sliding the camcorder caused an FC every time. Well, after the recent update, I tried it, and I can slide the camcorder all I want. Only problem is, it does nothing, it doesn't unluck my screen, or take me to the camcorder.

Some places don't allow access to the paid app market. He could be one of those places
[Android Apps and Games] gruvngyrl:
Speed, are those missed call and sms widgets on your lock screen? I've been looking for something that had them all together in the same widget, but it looks like maybe something like that doesn't exist. What apps are those that you're running?
[Android Apps and Games] gruvngyrl:
I had the same problem. I'm on the Samsung Captivate, and since the phone and camcorder are basically the same application, I've found that if I close my camera on camcorder mode, and then slide my camera slider, it pulls up the camcorder. If I leave it on camera mode, and then slide my camera slider, it pulls up the camera. Maybe it's the same issue on whatever device you're using?
[Android Apps and Games] erups:
Hello guys.

Got this app.

Can you suggest some widgets to populate the screen for

-notifications (something like an overlay, nothing complicated, to show missed calls, sms, emails (K9))

-clock & date verging on minimalistic

-battery indicator (able to show charge)

Also I noticed that the default sliders correctly show notifications, but downloaded ones (using rotary honeycomb from the Theme thread here on xda) do not.

Is this normal?

By the way populating the screen with sliders just to show notifications doesn't appeal to me.

If I set the grid to 5x5 I can't put any slider in the bottom row but I can put a widget in it.

Is it normal?
[Android Apps and Games] sjap84:
sms notifier you can use custom icons with this program.

beutiful widgets. (you can get a lot off themes from xda)

i use on slider and the rest notification icons on it.

This is personal some like sliders.
[Android Apps and Games] lampz:
can you add a feature like

[Android Apps and Games] irish98rm:
+1 on this. That's the main reason I've gone back to the stock HTC lockscreen on my phone. I love that the music controls only show up when I'm playing music. I have no idea how hard this would be to actually implement, though. Here's hoping....
[Android Apps and Games] jjsoviet:
It would be awesome too if WidgetLocker will support qHD and higher resolutions, especially as some locks (Sense, MIUI, Rotary) don't scale well with the screens. :)

hi, I have a problem since a few days. If someone calls me the screen of my desire is black for 2-3 seconds. I cant answer the call in this period, after 3 seconds the screen turns back on and I can answer the call. I first thought its my rom, but I disabled WL and everything worked like it should!

does anyone else have this problem?

hi, could you please implement this in widgetlocker?

it could make for some very interesting sliders
[Android Apps and Games] tommo123:
howdy all, just a quick Q (only got WL yesterday). have searched but faaar too many results.

anyhoo - i'm using this on my stock sgs2 and it works great barr 1 thing ... any key wakes it up. i've unticked the unlock buttons in the menu but no go. it wakes up in my pocked and because of this, stops bluetooth commands working. e.g i press pause but if the screens awake then it blocks it.

i guess this is what the OP refers to in the app with unlock vs wake?

could it be fixed possibly with root access?
[Android Apps and Games] gsu_golfer:
Have you turned off easy wake mode?
[Android Apps and Games] tommo123:
yep, no difference whether it's ticked or not
[Android Apps and Games] jaavaa:
Im having a little problem. I have Oxygen 2.1.4 and trackpad to wake up the device mod. It wakes it up just fine (easywake disabled). I like to use trackpad to unlock the phone also, so i have ticked the option in the widgetlocker. Well im having minimalistic text info widget at the widgetlocker screen, so sometimes when i try to unlock the device with the trackpad, it highlights the widget and opens widget preferences instead. I have enabled the "widget will ignore touches" for every widget, but still having this problem.

Edit:

Ok I found a setting in minimalistic text widget, which denyes any widget touching actions. But now the next widget is "clickable": Beautyful Widgets weather and SMS unread count widget.

BTW. is there any way to stack widgets?

[Android Apps and Games] Iceman_jkh:
Is there any way to have the shortcut unlocks (ie: dialer or sms) allow you to drop back to the homescreen after quitting the active program (dialer/sms app)?

I want to use those unlocks as shortcuts (to get directly to the dialer/sms app), but I OFTEN have other work I need to do on the homescreen as a result of the call/sms I just made.

Its a bit of a pain to be brought back to the lockscreen only to have to slide-to-unlock to get to the homescreen.

cheers

[Android Apps and Games] gpz1100:
Just press the home button instead of the back button. Should take you directly to the home screen.
[Android Apps and Games] Iceman_jkh:
So it does.

cheers. Guess I could retrain myself to stop using back. :)

EDIT: Honestly, I wish there was an option for this anyway. I'm not really 'feeling' the home button press.

Option ON - back goes back to homescreen after the loaded app closes.

Option OFF - back just acts as it does now, and returns to lockscreen once the loaded app closes.
[Android Apps and Games] almanbrother:
I hope someone can help me.

I'm busy to create my own theme. I have a png 100x100px only to slide down.

But I can't get it on the bottom of the lockscreen. It say it doesn't fit, there is not enough space and I have to use 4x1 and then thge png is placed about 75px from the bottomline and it is very little. Only when I place the png higher then it gets the right size.

When I long-press the icon it gives a large box and so you can see, the png is much to high.

When I make the select-box smaller the icon gets smaller and that's not what I want.

What am I doing wrong??

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] syklitengutt:
Have this problem with Samsung GII.

When pressing the unlock button to get lockscreen up, it takes 2 seconds for the lockscreen to show up???

Thats annoying! How to fix? Some setting I have missed?
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
Samsung phones are POS. Get something else. My only guess...
[Android Apps and Games] tommo123:
the phones actually really good (surprised me tbh) and very very quick, but i too get this lag.

i'm thinking it's due to be phone being in deep sleep? locking, wait 5 secs and unlock causes it to appear instantly.
[Android Apps and Games] :
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=3167

have used the home helper in the past, but that caused adw launcher ex to re-draw slowly quite often after pressing home.

i've wiped and did a clean install of cm7.1rc1 (not because WL) and now the widgets stay, w/o using home helper.

hope the patch get's into cm7.1 stable.

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,6381 is his patch, and it's been reviewed and merged.

It's in the current nightly list. Presumably the next nightly will have the patch and I'll be trying it as soon as I see it. :) Not sure about 7.1.0, dunno if CM7 has multiple branches or if nightly just becomes 7.1.0. Been several nightlies since the last RC.

Hopefully it's the fix, thanks Kevin :)
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
Hey Kevin,

Could you give any feedback on whether we can expect overlapping widget resizing? Similar to what Launcher Pro does on home screens? I think that would be one of the greatest changes that can come from your app.

Thanks!

(At least let us know you're still here)
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
Well, I think it's safe to say that what this app is now is all it will be. 6 and a half weeks since the devs last response here, but 3 days ago a response on his flashlight app.

Owell, still the only lock screen that can be customized. I'll stick with it until somebody else can step up and make a better one.

Wonder if he'd give another dev the code so that somebody more active can implement the really useful, almost needed, suggestions that are in here.
[Android Apps and Games] Bratag:
This issue is addressed in the forums. It looks like it might be related to the voice search function being tied to the home button. You can freeze that functionality and it apparently solves the issue.
