Can one remove the lock screen camera icon and function in iOS 5.1.1

I recently updated my iPod touch to 5.1.1 to see what the later iOS was like, and I really dislike the camera icon on the lock screen. I can't seem to find a way of removing it, and using restrictions as was suggested elsewhere disables the camera all-together. I'm not liking the 5.1.1 experience and am considering going back to 4.1.2.

It cannot be removed as you have discovered. Sorry.

    The "lock screen button" locks the phone. It will not take you back to the home screen. Thus the difference in the nomenclature for the "HOME" button and the "LOCK" button...

  • Why cant i (still) immediately share a picture after taking one from the lock screen camera?

    i put the question here because the ios section is only for specific apps... sorry.
    seems a bit maddening that we are given such quick access to take a picture, but then have to open up either the photo app or whatever app we want to share the photo/video with.  makes taking a pic .3 seconds quicker kinda frivilous.

    That is a new one. I haven't seen that before. You might have a hardware problem. Also may want to try to restore the phone and see if that fixes the problem. Also have you restarted the phone by holding the home button and the sleep/wake switch ignoring the swipe to power off message and then powering up the phone again?

  • Help! How can i remove the lock sign on my ipad3? it can't open, rotate or turn to next page because there is a lock sign at the bottom?

    Help! How can I remove the lock sign on my ipad3? it cannot rotate, turn to next page, or even open when it's on standby mode, even when i press the home button it cant open..thanks

    I'm not sure exactly what you are seeing but .....
    If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
    Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that doesn't do it, double tap the home button and swipe to the right and look for the lock icon all the way to the left.
    If the iPad is not responsive and you cannot slid to unlock the screen - try this.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • I WANT TO DISABLE THE LOCK SCREEN CAMERA

    I WANT TO DISABLE THE LOCK SCREEN CAMERA

    I know I shall regret asking, but why does keeping the iPhone out of reach of your toddler imply it must also be out of reach of yourself?
    I suppose not comepletely out of reach for me, but not out in the open. I would have to put my phone either on top of a high shelf, which I would need to get on a stoll myself to get to, or in a closet or inside a cabinet. The truth is that I spend most of my time at home in the same room as my daughter, which is the layroom, and there aren't really any places there to put my phone out of reach. Putting it our of reach for her would mean missing phonecalls myself.
    This is beyond this topic of discussion, really and I'm sorry. My daughter had gotten used to the fact that if she did get a hold of my phone she couldn't do anythig with it. Now she's learned that she can take pictures if she gets a hold of the phone and it's a fight every time she "finds" my phone, because now she wants to be able to take pictures and it's tiring having to take it away from her, deal with the crying and screaming and also have to punish her for the offense. Again, this is getting way off topic.
    My opinion on the actual topic of this discussion is that this "feature" shouldn't have been imposed on me, I should've been given a way to disable this feature. It was, in my opinion, not well thought out by apple and I really think we should get a new update that allows us to disable it. (already told apple what I thought, thank you).

    If you enabled Find my iPhone then you should use that. If not, I'm afraid you're out of luck for finding it. 
    To manage your devices, go to Your Account in iTunes.

  • I can not pass the lock screen

    I can not pass the lock screen, when I slide to unlock

    If you can't get past the lock screen when you slide to unlock, try rebooting your iPad and then try again.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • My iphone 4s will not stop autofocusing on the lock screen camera?

    My new iphone 4s will not stop autofocusing on the lock screen camera, (the regular camera is fine.) It seems to focus on my face and then the green box surrounding my face doesn't go away, and I cannot click anything or exit until my screen locks after 15 seconds. What is wrong?

    how did you turn it on?
    I ask because I may not own a iphone4s but only a iphone4 and it don't have a LED on the front only on the back

  • Can we turn off the icon on the lock screen that opens and displays all the photos on your ipad

    I finally noticed the little icon on the lock screen that you can puch and it immediately opens a slide shoew of all the phoes in your library.   I think this is a bit of a security issue -- I dont' wan people being able to look at my pictures wtithout authorizatino from me.   This supasses my permission and lets anyone look at them while the IPAD is still "locked"
    Cn w turn off/disable this icon selection somehow?   I've notobeeen abe to find anything  yet.
    Help!

    There is no security issue. If your iPad is protected by a passcode (which it should be if you don't want anyone to be able to look at stuff) you can turn the slideshow icon off.

  • How do I remove the lock screen photo?

    IOS 7.1.2, iPhone 5S... I selected a photo to replace the standard black color on my lock screen.  I don't like the photo and want the old look back.  How do I clear the lock screen photo?  The closest I can come is to select the plain black background, but it's not like the old one; it has some gray texture in it.
    Thanks,
    Mike

  • Lock screen camera icon

    Phone updated to:
    Android 4.4.2
    Build: 14.3.A.0.681
    After the update I have a camera shortcut icon on the lock-screen - great! ....or not!
    When pushing this icon, or activating the camera via the camera button (still locked), the camera is activated.
    When clicking the "settings menu" (three dots in the upper left corner), the camera app is quitted, and I am taken back to the lockscreen.
    This bug is quite obvious, don't you test your builds prior to releasing them to the public?!
