Abstract
Unlock screen and notification techniques are described. In an implementation, an unlock screen is displayed by a mobile communications device that indicates that the mobile communications device is locked. If an input is detected to remove the lock by dragging across a Y-axis of the display device, an animation is displayed that gives an appearance that the unlock screen is being removed and the lock on the mobile communications device is removed.
