Disable swipe lock screen on Galaxy S4 running JellyBean Every since my Galaxy S4 phone was upgraded to Android 4.3 (Verizon), I have had a problem disabling the swipe lock screen.

I go to Settings -&gt; My Device -&gt; Lock Screen -&gt; Screen Lock:


If I set the option to 'Swipe', I get the swipe lock screen, as expected.
If I set the option to 'None', I still get the swipe lock screen.
If I set the option to 'PIN', I get the swipe lock screen and the PIN lock screen. (It is annoying to unlock the phone, and more so when I receive a call.)


I test this by using the power key.

Is there a bug in the software or is there no legitimate way to disable the very annoying swipe lock / swipe lock screen?

Is there a 3rd party way to allow a PIN lock without having a swipe lock as well?
I have changed Setup > My Device > Homescreen Mode from "Easy mode" to "Standard mode", and the lock screen swipe options came alive. I hope this helps.
