Hi, I have bought samsung galaxy s3 mini (i8190) and there's no lockscreen shortcuts, but I have seen it on videos before. So why is it? They are very helpful, but I just cant get them. Any suggestions how to fix it?:confused::confused:
 
usually pressing the power button will shut off the screen and pressing it again will reveal the lock screen

You need to download magic locker or one of the many other lock screen apps that work great and allow you to customize shortcuts as well as many other things.

ok i got you know i was thinking well never mind what i was thinking :)

I know widget locker lets you create shorcuts but its a pay app. Not sure but thing go locker will but it makes you get GoLauncher (or it used to) I'm not familiar with other lock screens. sorry
 
You don't need to download anything on an S3 mini to get lockscreen shortcuts. Since you're using the stock app, go to settings>lockscreen. Under screenlock, it should be set to swipe, or if you are using a pin or pattern, you need to put a check on "with swipe lock" option. This will open the "lockscreen options" menu. In there, turn on shortcuts by swiping the slider so it turns green. You can select what shortcuts you have by tapping on that entry as well.

That's weird. But you have everything else? All the other options for an S3 mini?

Could you give me a screenshot of the "about device" section of your phone?
