Lock Screen Widgets

[chuckr01]

My corporate account requires me to have a Pin or Password. To unlock I have to enter my Pin. I can't figure out how to use the Lock Screen Widgets, the add options don't appear. Is there a way to get around this?

Second question, can other widgets be added to the choices, any that I have loaded from the Play Store? I would like to replace the goofy looking default clock with 3D Weather Clock Widget.

do you run 4.2? it should be there.. I think eventually dev teams will add lock screen widgets.. but for now we get only email,messaging,clock and something else.

Yes, I have 4.2, it came to me without looking for it, others I know have had to jump through loops to get it. I'm thinking there is a security lock preventing this which probably makes sense. Not a big issue, just curious. Can I set up a new user account with my same g-mail account and have a Home and Work user? I got part way there last night and had two accounts but wasn't sure if they would work right with the same g-mail. When I set up the duplicate g-mail I was able to see how this works but am not sure how that will function in the long run. If I could just change the one widget I would be happy. I don't want any of my other info open if I lose my tablet.

Hi,

I am also interested in adding a weather/clock widget to the lock screen. Can you please tell me what widget I need to get from the google play so I can add it to the locked screen.

Tks.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply. I downloaded a widget now when I hit the + button, I still only see the default set of widgets, how can I add the weather/clock?

Yes I to am wondering this because I don't know how to do it on my GS III either.

are you sure you downloaded HD widgets? because they should be there by default.... Try this go to HD widgets main app go to settings/Widget sizes see if Phone Lockscreen checked if not check it. Try again// restart might also help

i don't think GS3 runs 4.2 yet.. it's totally different/ If you want Widgets on your lock screen ask in S3 section

Yeah I realized that after I posted. I am on 4.1.1.

How does it work on the Nexus 7 though?
