Download Dynamic Lock Screen
Elpidio Heart
The Dynamic Lock Screen is a service that automatically updates and displays images of animals, landscapes, etc. every two weeks on the lock screen of your Galaxy phone. You can keep things fresh with different images each time you turn on the screen instead of the same wallpaper again and again.
A Dynamic lock screen can keep your lock screen fresh all the time, but you may want to turn this off because you get an unwanted page every time you try to unlock it. Follow the steps below to unlock the dynamic lock screen.
I tried the included Dynamic Wallpapers and screenshots work fine. As stated in another post, it's possible that you are currently using some copy protected content and that's the issue. Go back to the included Dynamic Wallpapers and see if you can now take the screenshot.... if so, you have your answer.
On my S22 Ultra, even with Dynamic Lock screen turned off in settings, if you swipe from right to left on the lock screen, Dynamic Lock screen settings still show up instead of unlocking your phone (see attached pic).
I got an update pushed to my S10+ overnight. Now, whenever I try to unlock the phone, it brings me to a "Dynamic Lock Screen" wallpaper selection, which I am evidently expected to use to select a wallpaper to download, with no other recourse allowed; the back arrow simply takes me back out of unlocking the phone.
Out of all of Samsung's fun customizations in One UI and its Galaxy phones, the dynamic lock screen is low-key one of my all-time favorites. With other phones, I often forget how easily bored I can get with the standard lock screen options, but this dynamic feature automatically updates all the time in the background and gives me a pleasant surprise each time. I'll show you just how easy it is to toggle this setting on so that you can start enjoying a little variety on your Galaxy phone.
That's it. Now you'll be greeted with a new lockscreen image each time you go to open your phone. Better still, the image gallery will automatically update every couple of weeks, so you'll never get too tired of what appears on your lockscreen.
The best for most people
With the richest 120Hz screen around, battery for days, and top-of-the-line performance, Samsung makes a flagship that actually justifies its premium price without being too full of itself or too overstuffed to hold comfortably.
When trying to disable this, depending on how I get to the option, I am met with conflicting statuses. When long pressing on the Home screen and choosing the 'Wallpaper and Style' option, I am told that the lock screen wallpaper services is set to 'Dynamic Lock Screen'. When going into the option to change the service I am using, the 'None' option is selected, and the 'Swipe left for info page' is not enabled. Trying to enable the Dynamic Lock Screen, exiting the screen, and going back to disable the Dynamic Lock Screen results in no change.
The other way of getting to the Dynamic Lock Screen settings is by going to Settings -> Lock Screen (shows 'None' under Wallpaper services on this screen) -> Wallpaper Services. Under the final screen, this shows 'None' as being selected the the wallpaper services as well as having 'Swipe left for info page' being disabled.
I want it to be automated: I walk away and the screen should lock. No additional action should be required. Keyboard shortcuts, special mouse movements, unplugging devices from USB, bluetooth distance to mobile phone (I don't always carry around the phone) are not valid answers.
Automated solutions don't work as well in practice due to RF interference and false positive locks. I know you want automatic, but memorizing Command-Control-Q and using it when you get up coupled with a short lock timeout is my solution to the same question.
The problem with Bluetooth solutions is that all of them I have used are incredibly unreliable. Someone mentioned Knock which is hugely out-of-date, not to mention that it was meant to be used to unlock your Mac, not lock it.
RedHand locks your computer. Manually via global hot key, menu bar or dock. Automatically after a period of inactivity (much like a screensaver), depending on the presence of a Bluetooth device, or whenever your computer goes to sleep.
I've used this software and I can attest that it was very effective, allowing a broad range of triggers to lock and wake up the Mac, including pairing with any Bluetooth capable device, and the ability to adjust the sensitivity (distance, effectively) of what could be considered a lock or unlock event.
I think Windows Operating System is using face recognition over the webcam in the background to detect when am using it and if this returns false then it auto locks the device. I just left it for less than 5 minutes and discovered that Windows had already locked the device when I came back. There is the other Dynamic lock option for Bluetooth but that depends on the status of my phone's Bluetooth connection and it does not work when the Bluetooth on my phone is off. I programmed the settings to auto lock when there is a period of inactivity exceeding 30 minutes. I do not know if there is such a feature but also I hotspot my phone to my PC, and when I go away I kind of turn off the hotspot so maybe Windows detects that and uses that to lock the device or it checks for a face from the webcam at an interval and then locks the device, help me know what is making my PC behave this way.
The answer is then that you specified that Windows should lock when yourphone is no longer near by. So when you walked away, with your phonepresumably in your pocket, Windows immediately locked itself.
One of the ways you can customize your Galaxy Note 10 experience is by setting a Dynamic Lock screen. This is a Note 10 feature that made its way onto the Galaxy S10 with the latest software update. Keep in mind that the OTA release began this week, therefore it's currently limited but will gradually extend to new users across all the markets. Regardless of which Galaxy flagship phone you may be using, this is all you need to know about Dynamic Lock screen.
A Dynamic Lock screen consists of a series of still wallpapers organized in different categories. So far there are five of them, including Landscapes, Life, Food, Pets, and Art. You can set only one category at a time and a new image will be shown on your lock screen every time you wake up the phone.
There are two ways to set a Dynamic Lock screen. One method is to pinch the home screen, tap Wallpaper, then tap Dynamic Lock screen, and select a category. Alternatively, you can open the Settings app, tap Lock screen then access Dynamic Lock screen and select a category. (For the purpose of this guide, the images below exemplify the second method).
As previously stated, the Dynamic Lock screen will present a different wallpaper every time you wake up the phone. As a bonus feature, you can swipe left or right on the lock screen to switch between wallpapers or browse your current image set. Each image set will be refreshed by Samsung with new wallpapers every 2 weeks.
Windows 10 and 11 both offer a Dynamic Lock feature that can automatically put your PC into lock mode. To pull off this trick, first pair your smartphone with Windows. Then, just walk away with your smartphone in hand or pocket.
In Windows 10, head to the Bluetooth settings screen on your iPhone and select your Windows PC under Other Devices. Your iPhone appears in the Bluetooth list on your PC. Click the entry to pair it with your computer. A PIN pops up to be used for pairing. Tap Pair on your iPhone and click Connect on your PC. Click Done on your PC, and your iPhone shows up in the list of items connected to Windows.
In Windows 11, segue to the Bluetooth settings screen on your iPhone. Select your Windows PC under Other Devices. Choose your iPhone in the Bluetooth list on your computer to pair it.
After your phone is paired with Windows 10 or 11, go to Accounts > Sign-in options on your computer. Scroll to the bottom of the Sign-in options page to the section for Dynamic Lock. Check the box that says Allow Windows to automatically lock your device when you're away. The name of your paired device should appear under this option, indicating that Dynamic Lock is now good to go.
To test Dynamic Lock, make sure Windows is unlocked. Walk away from your PC with your phone. How far do you need to travel? Bluetooth's signal range varies based on its version. For example, Bluetooth version 4.x has a range of 200 feet, while Bluetooth 5.x can go as far as 800 feet. But walls, furniture, and other physical items will block or interfere with the signal. For my testing, I went as far as I could in my home.
Assuming you've trekked far enough, return to your computer and hopefully you'll find Windows in Lock mode. To sign back in, just dismiss the Lock screen and enter your PIN or use your face or fingerprint if one of those Windows Hello methods is enabled.
In my testing, I was able to get my Windows 10 desktop and Windows 11 laptop to all jump into Lock mode when I traveled far enough with an iPhone or an Android phone. For that reason, this can be a great way to automatically lock your computer and get some exercise to boot.
However, when I click my Nexus 4 home button to show the lockscreen from any app, it never shows another Activity being launched. This makes me think that it's not what we understand as a typical Activity.
If you look at the source for KeyguardViewMediator.java the Android source code, you will find a method named private void doKeyguardLocked(Bundle options). I know from experience that changing the source to return immediately from this method will disable the lockscreen. The source for KeyguardViewMediator.java shows that it is in the package com.android.keyguard, and I believe that this is the package that you are looking for.
