How to remove Screen Lock Widget Android 5.0.2?

I think this problem may be specific to Android 5.0.2. because the instructions in the user manual no longer work.
I installed Extended Controls (great app/widget) and it seems to add it's widget to the lock screen (I have the widget on my Home screen but I added that myself). Anyway for some reason I ended up with two identical widgets on my lock screen and they take quite a bit of space. So I decided to remove one of them. I followed the instructions in the manual but found them impossible. I press and hold the widget but can't move it on it's own. It is very difficult to move at all and when it does everything else moves with it. Plus the upward swipe needed to get to the rubbish bin (which never appears anyway) unlocks the phone so I end up on my Home screen and the widget on the lock screen has not been removed.
How can I remove widgets from the lock screen?

QUOTE from the user manual
To add a widget to the lock screen
1 From your Home screen, tap , then find and tap Settings > Security
2 Mark the Allow widgets on lock screen checkbox.
3 To lock the screen, press the power key.
4 To activate the screen, briefly press the power key.
5 Swipe inwards from the upper part of the screen until appears, then tap it.
6 If required, enter your PIN code, pattern or password to unlock the screen.
7 Find and tap the widget that you want to add.
8 Follow the on-screen instructions, if necessary, to finish adding the widget.
The items that appear when you tap are available by default and cannot be modified.
To remove a widget from the lock screen
1 To activate the screen, briefly press the power key .
2 Touch and hold the widget that you want to remove, then drag it to .
The camera icon at the bottom of the screen is there by default and cannot be removed.
This clearly says you can. As I said, it doesn't work. Why not? There's no Allow widgets.on lock screen either. Why not?

How to remove activation lock from ios7 on my iphone4?

The problem with Activation Lock is that there is no system for unbricking devices by their rightful owners, no Apple Court of Appeals.
As a result of that, using Activation Lock will become the best way for disgruntled employees to take a parting shot after being fired. They will report their device lost, then turn it in and leave. After that, the company will no longer be able to use the device, even though the company owns it.

Screen Lock Widget help

Hi,
Usually when I quickly press the power on button I am greeted with my passlock and the time / calander widget at the top of the screen.
Recently however a different widget, such as weather, seems to become the default, and the only way I can seem to get back to the clock widget being default is by removing the other widgets.
I can't beleive this is correct and would appreciate it if anyone could please advise how to make the clock widget the default one seen first when activating the phone.
I have tried things such as swiping a widget to the left / right so the clock widget shows again and switching back to standby, but again when powering up the clock widget is not default.
Any ideas anyone please?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

That's the way:
1. lock the screen
2. press "power", lock screen will appear with "default" widget (whatever it is)
3. swipe to the "left" (by the widget) until you see the clock widget, if it is missing, add it using the most left screen with [+] icon
4. tap+hold on the clock widget, then "move" it over this "default" one you've seen
5. make sure the next one to the right is "camera" launcher (clock + camera icon on the right side of this clock)
voila
When everything have failed already, try to read the manual.

The previous phones were Nokia and HTC. I did not have any problem in roaming with those phones. Without any procedure, I could used the phone in other countries.
Now SIM card is same and the service provider is same, T-Mobile. When I found BB did not work in China, I put the SIM card to old Nokia phone and it worked. Only difference is the phone.
Hi again,
It sounds then that you wish to use a local (in country) SIM in your BB when you travel. Hence, the unlocking link first provided applies.
If, on the other hand, you want to roam with your home SIM intact, then you need to ensure you have an adequate international roaming plan from your carrier.
BB's are different from other devices...that's just the way they are.
Good luck!

How to removed Editor Lock from an ABAP program

Hello, I would like to know how to remove an editor lock from an ABAP program that someone placed? The person who placed the lock is no longer active in the system. When I try to remove the lock, I get the message that the person placed the lock can remove it. Looks like only that person can remove the lock. Is there a way around this? Reactivating his id is not an option, in our case.

I have find one more table where we can edit is "PROGDIR"
Goto table " PROGDIR"

and remove "X" from the field "EDTX" to remove the lock for the program.

How to remove Distribution Lock

Dear Experts
We have defined a status profile for our Service Order. These statuses are correctly displayed in PCUI in our BSP Application for Service Orders. But in the dropdownlist, there is also the system status "Distribution Lock".
(We are using the field name STATUS_KEY from the structure CRMT_BSP_SRV_OIC_SRCHRES)
This system status can normally be set manually if we wish to avoid our business transaction being transferred into other systems. But in our scenario, we don't need it as we don't transfer our Service Orders into other systems.
This status seems to appear automatically for all Service Processes. (I believe it is defined in the status object type COH.) But I don't know how to remove this status or how to create a new object type without this status.
PS: distribution lock statu in BSP
Thanks in advance for your help,
Best regards,
Stephanie

I've found a way to remove "Distribution Lock" status by carrying out the following steps:
1. Start transaction SE16 - Database table CRMC_BO_RANGES.
2. Display the content by pressing F7.
3. Enter "BUS2000116" object type profile and press F8.
4. Select the line wih "DISTRIBUTABLE" for group and press change.
5. Set the exclusion field to True.
6. Press "SAVE" icon.

How to cancel screen lock code ?

I creat the screen when I set the email with exchange mode
but how to cancel the lock code after I delete this email account
Post relates to: Pre p100ueu (O2)
This question was solved.
View Solution.

When slected off, did it prompt you for a password/pin to confirm? Try this:
1. Turn it off.
2. Close the card and dont do anything else.
3. Immediately shut down the phone, hold down power button for the option.
4. Turn it back on.
Does turning screen off and on promp password again still? If so, the next step will be to partial erase the device by going into device info and tap reset options.

How can remove OVi store widget after update to Be...

Hi! Everyone.
I'm using Nokia N8.
Any one can help me remove OVi Store widget version 2.12.040 and Ovi version 1,0,21129 on my device?
I was hear and I knew "Ovi" brand has replace entirely by "Nokia" brand.
After update Belle official success, I couldn't find Ovistore widget on my device (Nokia N8) but in section "Already installed" it's still there.
Some time I was try remove them, but my device always notice " Cancelled remove".
I don't understand OVi Store widget version 2.12.040 and Ovi version 1,0,21129 has useful what on my device? Because, on Belle, we can not use OVi Store widget version 2.12.040 and Ovi version 1,0,21129.
Any one have some solutions or give to me some ways for this problem.
Thank you.

I have the same issue and have come to the conclusion that its much better to live a peaceful life without the ovi store then to be worried about it and start hating your gorgeous e7 even more all the ovi apps are available over the internet you can download them from some other website .... unfortunately till nokia doesnt do another anna update this trouble will not be solved.... people will tell you to get your phone flashed from ncc but i think thats pathetic that you pay this much money and keep running to ncc to fkash your phone after every update, so just relax and enjoy the standard stuff and hoppe that nokia makes some magical anna update which cures it all

How to remove content lock in MyEE account?

thats a shame, but thanks. perhaps, in the future, they'll include an option for PAYG customers - who've provided age evidence - to manage the content lock... A

Hello, Many pages are locked on EE broadband, so when trying to enter them a message appears that if you're 18+ you can add your CC details or "you can remove Content Lock easily using My EE.*". When I click on the link, I'm just sent to the login page on EE, it doesn't say where to make the changes. I know that it's possible to use vpn but I rather not, I would just like to change this in my settings because I have a MYEE account and I'm over 18, but it's impossible to find where to change it. If anyone could help, please let me know. Thank you!

How to reset screen lock passcode? (NANO 3RD GEN)

Just bought a Nano 3 gen from a friend, and turns out that he had entered a screen-lock password. I guessed (1234, 0000, 4321) but finally admitted defeat. I eventually asked him, but he didn't remember. I REALLY don't want to have to fully reset it, and sync all again. Any other options?
(It's not currently locked, but I want the feature.)
Any help appreciated.

Tecra M5 - How to remove Screen Hinges

Hi,
I need to replace the screen hinges (well one of them anyway)
I have the maintenance manual and hte computer in bits.
The manual says "Remove the hinge (left) while sliding and turning it." but no matter how hard I wiggle/slide/turn I cant get it out.
Same problem with the one on the other side.
Anyone ever done this and have any tips or know of an instructional video somewhere?
TFAI

Hhhmmm - I'm not sure. Yes, of course, you can screw up and I wouldn't do it on stuff that was precious but this is the first time I've been stumped and I've done a CPU, a fan, a reflow with a hot air stripper and a couple of new screens over the years all on the basis of the manuals. Jolly good they are too.
Anyway, if I don't find an answer in a couple of days, i'll reverse the repair process (I was going to replace the entire section but now I'll have to take some bits (speakers, touchpad etc) out of the replacement part and put them in the original and hope the rest works :-)
Anyway, I'll post again if I find the answer to the hinge problem.
Thanks for your interest
