Download Lock Screen For Android
Dawne Dam
I find this feature problematic. When listening to a book I frequently find myself accidentally triggering that timeline on the Android lock screen by accident and then have to search for where I actually left off. This can happen in my pocket, for instance.
It doesn't seem to work. I looked at the solution proposed here: Android emulator 4.2.2 not showing add widget option in lock screen but without success. Using the rev1 image (as the rev2 has a bug, filed here: =58548)
To reach the lock screen of Android Emulator, in recent emulators (using Android Studio 2.3) just click the "power" button in the Emulator. You'll get a black screen. Click it again and there it is, your lock screen.
(Android SDK Manager has Rev. 2 of ARM EABI v7a System Image. According to Android emulator 4.2.2 not showing add widget option in lock screen, lock screen widgets work in Rev. 1 but not Rev. 2. I didn't test the ARM system images.)
Press(rather click :) ) the power button twice on the emulator. This will make it go into lock mode.After that , click on lock button again, the phone lights up with you asking to provide pin/finger print/pattern in case you had put them in your unlocking. Hope this helps..
I don't want someone to be able to look through my notes without unlocking, but I would like to create notes without unlocking. I'd like similar behavior to the camera app, which allows me to take a picture without unlocking, but won't let me look at any pre-existing pictures without unlocking the phone. I'm not comfortable allowing access to my notes on the lock screen.
You'll be more pissed about somebody using or stealing your phone than that there are some new notes in that specific notebook and, well, you can easily delete these notes and block this phone from sending these notes to that notebook.
I agree that if it were possible to create an Evernote note from the lock screen without unlocking, that would not pose a security risk for existing notes and data. My only concern was the possibility of someone getting hold of someone else's phone and trolling or pranking them through Evernote. Not an issue for me, but might be for some.
Yea, not an issue for me either. The worst case scenario is not that bad and is extremely unlikely to happen too. You'll be more pissed about somebody using or stealing your phone than that there are some new notes in that specific notebook and, well, you can easily delete these notes and block this phone from sending these notes to that notebook.
Currently satisfied with the Onenote lockscreen thing. Can activate and deactivate this balloon very easily. I super don't like everything else about OneNote and I am happy that I found CloudHQ to get these notes to Evernote. I think Evernote should get this same function to their app. It's really good. Only thing that leave this balloon, box, Evernote logo, whatever object, only to doing the thing on the lockscreen.
By the way, there's no security issue whatsoever when there's only text input that can only go to predefined notebook. Can't really access any data. Can't change anything. In case it is implemented properly (like any other such kind of function to get data from one place to another, it has to be implemented properly to be secure - such as getting these notes from notebook to cloud for instance), then saying that this would rise security concern is a very big joke! No security issue, like somebody already mentioned earlier here. It's just text input to notebook. No output to the screen from any notebook.
Evernote has gotten many things awesome when they first launched. I like the way desktop version of Evernote presents notes. It gives a preview or overview of each note or all notes, a good sense of what's where and, all-in-all, I tried OneNote and imported my Evernote stuff there and I really don't like the way I have to navigate around in OneNote and how it presents the notes. So Evernote really good overall, but some features that Onenote has are currently obvious improvements over Evernote, such as providing the ability to take notes from the lockscreen, which lured me to test out Onenote.
Already tried Parchi before tried Onenote. Evernote should definitely simulate the way Parchi does it with the UI on the lockscreen. Very simple. Just click on the icon, write a note, and send. Nothing else.
Unfortunately, there are too many issues with Parchi. Parchi notes do go to Onenote but it's full of bugs as it is sort of discontinued it seems. And it doesn't seem to throw this option to take a note from the lockscreen when disconnected from active wifi/4G connection.
And so there's also OneNote now, which does exactly the same thing, allowing to take notes right from the lockscreen. However, it disables the feature when restarting the phone (so does Parchi), and the icon that allows to take quick notes stays hanging out there in front of my screen also when the phone is unlocked.
I'm using Tasker so I'm going to check if I can make the "badge" button to launch when phone screen goes off, and close when phone gets unlocked, and in case I succeed in that and even better in case I can get those notes somehow forwarded to Evernote, it's great (but no matter what Evernote has to add this function - the current one is no good because I still have to unlock the device).
As noted in my post above, in the current Android Evernote app you can go to Settings > Sound and notification > Application notifications, then scroll down to Evernote, tap that , and then be sure that "Hide noti. on Lock screen" is unchecked. That should place on the lock screen a link to the quick note feature found on the pull-down from the notification screen. I have to swipe the lock screen (the only "security" I have on it) after I tap the link, which does make it less immediate, so that @Henryx200's issue does remain significant. OTOH, a completely unsecured note-creation feature might raise issues of its own.
Doh! I hadn't tried the pull-down menu on the lock screen before! Yes, it is possible to create a note from the lock screen via that menu!! I also have swipe security only (while on this wifi) so I don't know what password or fingerprint protection might do to the process. Uninstalling Parchi now...
The Evernote feature does show a link in the notification bar once the phone is unlocked, but that bar isn't something that Android shows on the lock screen. The entries you see on the lock screen about messages received or other activity are also shown on the notification bar, but they seem to be a different class of notification in Android.
Is this already available? I have a 6-digit number to unlock the phone and even if I'd do it with a short swipe or shorter pin, it's distracting and time-consuming. When I have an insight I don't want any obstacles and hoops on the way of writing it down. Having able to have a quick way to jot down notes straight from the lock-screen without unlocking the device is meaningfully useful.
Hi. The Evernote feature does show a link in the notification bar once the phone is unlocked, but that bar isn't something that Android shows on the lock screen. The entries you see on the lock screen about messages received or other activity are also shown on the notification bar, but they seem to be a different class of notification in Android.
As mentioned above, MS's 'Parchi' was written to appear on the lock screen and it is possible there to start a new note without unlocking the phone. MS obviously felt the same as you do about the need for immediacy when noting things down. While Parchi isn't as fully-featured a note app as Evernote, you can export notes from it in a variety of ways. If you want to investigate further you may find that app automation tools like IFTTT would allow you to automatically transfer notes started in Parchi to Evernote. If all else fails, it's still possible to 'share' individual notes into Evernote.
Yes, that's been there for quite some time (see my post from Oct. 5 last year; I don't think it was new then). That's the "quick note" feature that pulls down from the notification bar while the phone is unlocked. The new features seems just to be a link to this on the lock screen.
