Hi,

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 5.

I use a pattern to unlock.

Under the pattern (9 dots) are two icons:
1) a phone icon in the bottom-left of the locked screen and,
2) a camera icon in the bottom-right of the locked screen

How can I remove both of these icons?

Thanks!
 
look under your lockscreen settings, do you have an option for shortcuts that allows you to change/delete them? i have an lg so im not sure if the option is in the same place on the note 5 but thats where they are for me...if you dont see it there, perhaps its under the display settings?

Crazy,but,no option to change the lockscreen short cuts,or,eliminate/hide 'em either. :rolleyes: :(
Looks like a 3rd party lockscreen is your only option for this.

Booo I upgraded from a g2 and this will be the second feature that doesn't exist so I have to get an app. Are there any you recommend just for apps to be add I don't have a need to actually lock my phone.
If you don't need to actually lock your phone,you can select NONE under Lockscreen settings & set up one of your desktop pages w/the shortcuts that you were wanting to use on a lockscreen.
