Is it the main lock? Where you just drag your finger across the screen and it unlocks?

if you are using a pin or gesture you will not have that option
otherwise settings>display>unlock screen

Yes it is the first screen. it used to say "Swipe to Unlock" until I received my first phone call. then it changed to "phone locked". I have no pin, gesture or password set.

thanks for your help!

and you cannot get into the phone at all?

Do you have the puzzle piece now?

It shows up when you have a notification and the screen is locked.

I can push the screen out of the way and have access to the phone which kind of defeats the purpose of locking the phone one would think. It's just a pita and should not indicate my phone is locked.

I've not seen a puzzle piece since and I have tested the phone myself from my land line at home.

That's exactly how it's supposed to be.

If you want to enable a real lock you need to set it up in Settings, Location & Security.

Then choose Set screen lock.

+1 sounds correct to me that is how the screen should look.

Like zhelf said, the puzzle piece comes up when you have some sort of notification. Otherwise, you'll get the glass lockscreen.

it would have been nice if they allowed you to select lockscreen, either puzzle piece or the full screen as they did on the fascinate.

Agreed.

I like the puzzle piece better.

 

[zhelf]

yea the puzzle piece is much more accurate the full screen skips on me.

but widget locker saved me
