[Q] No lockscreen shortcuts

[tokugawa]

Hi, I have a Galaxy Note 8.0 with firmware version XXBMD1. It seems almost everywhere (youtube videos, reviews), the Galaxy Note 8.0 features the capability of putting shortcut icons on the lock screen. However, I can't find such a setting on mine (it's not in the settings->lockscreen->Options). Do I have to do something else to enable it, or does my version of the device and/or firmware simply not have that setting? Anyone else with the problem?

Hello,

I have the same problem.

@laestrella, in my settings app I have all options like in your screenshot, except for "Shortcuts" and "Information Ticker". The list starts with clock, weather etc.

I also have the latest firmware installed (N5110XXBMD1)

How can this be?! Anyone got an idea?

Thank you.

Edit: Here a screenshot from my device. It's in German, the five items say "Clock", "Weather", "Ripple effect", "Ink effect", "Help text".

As I already mentioned in my initial posting, I don't have that option. I suppose it isn't in my version of the firmware (german 4.1.2).

Did you guys try updating software? Weird you don't have that option, that's for sure.

My note is telling me that there's no update available. I'm on 4.1.2. Is there a newer version? If so, how do I update?

Thanks,

Matt

Thanks for the tip, but according to SamMobile, I'm on the latest available firmware N5110XXBMD1 for Germany.

OTA-Update also tells me that I'm up-to-date.

It seems that the German Firmware is somehow broken or missing these features Very annyoing, hopefully this will be fixed soon.
