Help 2nd lockscreen suddenly appeared

So, I had this second lockscreen suddenly appear. It's just a space themed background that says "life wirelss" (check attached file to see for yourselves)

What apps have you recently installed or allowed to update? It's probably one of those that's responsible.

("Peel Smart Remote" was the classic example: they added an extra lockscreen in an app update. But they aren't the only ones).
 
Life Wireless is a Government Phone service perhaps it is something they added to their service? It is definitely not Peel Remote and you should be glad lol. Can be a bit of a pain at first but I use Peel Remote religously on my HTC One M9 and have disabled all of its lock screens, ad;s and anything else that is a nuisance. Still running free version just fine. You didn't root your phone with anything did you? I dont think that is the cause as i know most the main One Click Root app's and their nasties they put on during rooting.

Like Hadron said it could be many a app. Best is to look into the ones last installed / updated.
 
"Life Wireless"? is that an Obamaphone i.e. a phone issued by the US Govt? Was your J3 supplied by Life Wireless?

Yeah it's an obamaphone i have had a few I have worked on. One MVNO - Telrite ?

Good phones for older folk that don't use the phone a whole lot. Their OS is setup to be extremely user friendly.
