lock screen Quidunc Froyo/Gingerbread

[tsusala1951]

Hello

I have an odd question (I think)

Dear Forum Leaders: I am a REAL newbie at forums, if I have mad this new thread in error please advise me and I will attempt to search threads more thoroughly in the future.


When I upgraded my AT&T Captivate from the stock OS to Froyo in Feb of 2011 I noticed on the lock screen the verbiage "Swipe glass to unlock." However, after about an hour of using the phone with the newly installed OS I was given the option to eliminate this verbiage leaving the lock pictogram and "Phone Locked" in its place.
Now that I have Gingerbread installed on my phone this IMO "awkward phrase," "Swipe glass to unlock." remains on my phone when I hit the button on the unit's right side.
I tried to contact Samsung Tech Support Chat and explain my situation and after three attempts to explain that I wanted to know if there was an option to eliminate the verbiage, "Swipe glass to unlock," I received repeated replies referring as to how to use the "SWYPE" function of the keyboard. I graciously acknowledged to the Tech Rep that there was a language barrier, albeit written, so I let it go.....

So, Friends and Neighbors: IS there in fact a provision on this unit to eliminate this clumsy phrase from the un-lock screen???

Thanx to all in advance

Ok, so you are not trying to remove the lock screen just the text?

Correct! just the line that says "Swipe glass to unlock."

I noticed the same thing and it annoys me too. I haven't found a way to remove the verbage. I've been searching since my upgrade to Gingerbread.
