Features disabled on T-Mobile edition

[Zendroid1]

I'm starting a list of features I've seen in videos that I cannot access on my T-Mobile Version. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong or add on to this list.

1. Guest accounts - no option next to the gear in the notification/quick settings panel

2. Lock screen shortcuts - not available to edit in Lock screen, shortcuts

3. Lock screen animations - not available to change / select in Lock Screen settings

I'm disappointed in T-mobile for omitting these things. Should have bought an unlocked international version

In that section I have

Select screen lock
Smart lock
Hidden pin
Randomize pin entry

I think it was mentioned in one of the videos here that you had to disable security on the phone and the missing options would appear, then re-enable security and the options would stick.

Should look like this, but its just features that for whatever mad reason T-Mobile have decided to remove.

So it looks like I'm missing all kinds of stuff on this screen alone.

Try changing your screen lock to just swipe, they should appear.

How to change the LG G4 lock screen shortcuts was an article posted on android central by Alex Dobie, here is the link:
ww.androidcentral.com/how-change-lg-g4s-lock-screen-shortcuts

For those of you that don't want to copy and paste the link, this is what he wrote:

Provided you have no lock screen security set (e.g. lock screen PIN or pattern), changing your lock screen shortcuts is pretty easy.

Under the default tabbed Settings view, go to Display > Home & Lock > Lock Screen ...
... Or in the list view, go to Device > Lock Screen
In the next menu, head to Settings > Shortcuts, and tap an icon to change it to a different app, or disable it entirely. You can also drag and drop icons to re-order them. When you're done, tap "Save" — simple.

Note: If you have any kind of lock screen security enabled, you won't be able to use lock screen shortcuts. In fact, the "Shortcuts" menu item under the Lock Screen menu won't even show if your lock screen security is set to anything besides "Swipe."

That's why things get a bit complicated if you're using Android's built-in Smart Lock feature to unlock automatically.

This is beyond dumb. So I changed them when security was set to Swipe. I changed back to pin and the changed held but any changes in the future I have to set to swipe only nothing else allows changes. Makes zero sense.

It's like this on the G3, too. Not that big of a deal...
