Xperia Z3 Compact lock screen and Lollipop

[Anonymous]

Hello all...

Upgraded to Lollipop last night.

Before the upgrade, I could wake my phone up, and unlock the screen by entering my chosen pattern.

After the upgrade, I now have to wake my phone up, swipe up, and then unlock with my pattern, meaning an additional and unrequired step.

Is there anyway to disable the swipe up, so that the waking up of the phone will take me straight to the unlock/pattern screen?

I had an online chat with a "Guru", but after restarting the phone, their only advice was for me to do a factory reset which seems somewhat drastic and that I am reluctant to do.

Thanks in advance for your comments and help.

I use pin lock screen and I don't have that issue so the advice to reset may well be correct in this case.

Disable notifications on lock screen.

Notification / lock screen

Security check screen

So Sony put 2 lock screens on, effectively, how strange....

[viridis]

Yeah basically,
I use smart unlock though so never see the second one.

That would drive me nuts !!

Ahhh, it will, it really will

Hmmmph...

Disabled notification to lock screen... no difference

Switched from pattern to PIN... no difference either.

I still have to

1. Wake the phone up (power button or double tap on screen (if enabled))

2. swipe up

3. Either enter PIN or draw pattern, whichever is set.

Are you guys suggesting that this is specific to xperia and that you do not see this with Samsung or other?
