Good Lock App By Samsung

[meyerweb#CB]

Thanks that worked. Previously, I wasn't selecting a different wallpaper and then reverting to the original one.

Yeah, it's not the most intuitive set up.

I like this but uninstalled because it seemed to drain my battery faster

I HAD THE SAME ISSUE. MY 4G-LTE CONNECTION WASN'T THERE. COULDN'T MAKE CALLS OR RECEIVE CALLS. NO DATA AT ALL EXCEPT ON WIFI. NOT BEING ONE TO BRING IT IN FOR SERVICE UNTIL I EXHAUSTED ALL MY OWN POSSIBILITIES, I REALIZED THAT THE ONLY APP I ADDED TO THE PHONE SINCE THIS PROBLEM STARTED WAS GOOD LOCK. SO I UNINSTALLED IT, MY S7 EDGE REBOOTED, AND IM BACK TO NORMAL. I CANNOT RECCOMEND GOOD LOCK UNTIL THIS MATTER IS CORRECTED. WEIRD THING, GOOD LOCK WORKS PERFECTLY ON MY S6 EDGE RUNNING MARSHMALLOW. HMMMMM

Need to be able to see all toggles somehow.
I too can't find how to do certain things now. Quick connect, turn sync on or off.
If there is a way to do it with good lock installed it isn't intuitive!

Oh, I wasn't. I didn't realize my caps were locked.

Those features are available in Settings.

Yes, you open the app in your App drawer and hit uninstall.

Thanks for this...I didn't think of actually going into the APP to do this...LOL...was trying so hard to find the actual uninstall feature. LOL.

The app was updated today and it looks that they keep listening as they added the QuickConnect feature plus the Card Look in recent Apps (Only thing missing is the Close All option and I've already reported it) in addition to more quick toggles and colors. All in all it behaves better now.

The app also was officially announced according to Sammobile and it's available for Galaxy 6/6 edge, 6 edge +, Note 5 and S7/S7 edge.

Does this have a noticeable negative impact on battery life?

There is an impact, yes. Not too bad though. You'll notice "systemui" in the battery stats whereas it is not there without Good Lock. Not so bad as to remove, as far i am concerned. YMMV.

The app was updated today

Just updated this to see what it's all about. Does it update automatically or do you have to use Galaxy Apps and do it manually?

You'll get a notification to hit 'update' in Galaxy Apps.

Super! Thank you.

FWIW, I really don't see where the update does much of anything except add a bunch of icons to the bottom of the lock screen and make the notification bar much smaller. Really see no reason to take a potential battery hit and just add more overhead.

I liked the way it implements the recent app listing with the split screen icon baked in. Unfortunately, the battery usage was higher than I was willing to accept.

 

[buwee]

Yep, Samsung's own EVO Pro micro SD card causes a slight but noticeable delay when unlocking my old Note Edge LOL - Go figure...

I heard the recent update mostly resolves the battery drain issue.

Can anyone confirm this?

 

[anon(238680)]

I just installed this a couple days ago and saw an immediate hit on both the battery setting and GSAM. Unless there's been another update within a day I'd have to give this a "no".
I really saw no benefit, to me, for the battery hit.
