    Hi,

    I recently upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S3 to official Android 4.3.

    And one thing I almost immediately realized is that the "Information Ticker on Lock Screen" its gone or at least I haven't found a way to restore this functionality.

    I'm a huge fan of the Information Ticker and I would like to know if there is a way to restore this option or if it is no longer supported a way to somthing a similar.

    Thanks in advance,


    J.

      Hi Jesus Antonio Santos Giraldo,
      Thanks for coming.
      Yes, you're right. Information ticker is no longer available in the Android 4.3. If you like to view Yahoo! News or Finance, you can use the lock screen widgets. Here are the steps to do so:
      1. Press the Power key twice to go to the lock screen.
      2. Swipe the near top area of the lock screen from left to the right until the blank lock screen with the Plus sign is displayed.
      3. Tap the Plus sign to add new widgets you wish to display in the new lock screen.
      4. Scroll to the bottom, select either Yahoo! Finance or Yahoo! News widget to add this widget to your lock screen.
      5. To view the widget while you're in the lock screen, Swipe the near top area of the lock screen from left to the right until the Yahoo! News or Finance widget screen is displayed.
      Hope this helps :)
