Dash freezes/hangs (but not really?) in locked-out security mode

I've been having an unusual problem with my dash running kavana's 6.1 rom. Occasionally, more often now than usually, upon locking my phone or letting it lock on timer (i haven't tested extensively), it'll be in "locked out" mode but without the button option to unlock it!
The two softkey options are Start and Contacts instead of just "unlock". it's as if the lock program got minimized and the phone's still locked but i can't get it to the foreground to unlock it? that's my theory.
The phone still seems to be running: the clock keeps running, i can wake it up from black screen with any keypress even though it'll still be in locked-out no backlight mode.
Also, it can receive calls and i can answer, talk, and hang up, but nothing else.
It's not that annoying in that i can take out and put the battery back in to fix it, but the problem is that i can see text messages come in while it's locked... then when i put the battery in, they're gone! it's infuriating! i have no idea who sent them!

Did you try a hard reset?

Any way to keep screen off all the time until top power button pressed?

More than half the time I take my phone out of it's case in my pocket to check texts or call somebody, it's always on and eating battery. Alot of the time I have the phone in vibrate or silent because I can't have it going off most of the day, and whenever I get any kind of notification the screen comes on (text, alarm, call, ect.), and then the screen ends up staying on because it's constantly being bumped and never has the time to shut itself down.
Is there any way I can make the screen stay off at ALL times (except on an incoming call), and ONLY come on when I press the unlock/power button on the top of the phone?
I have a TMobile TP2 and I'm running the Nov. 19th, Photon Energy ROM. Upgrading to the Nov. 27th version when it's done downloading but I don't think that will fix the problem as I've changed ROMs before. Thanks to any help.

you will find that when in the case it should be off, on taking the phone out of the case (i assume the HTC one that came with the phone?)
the magnet in the case triggers the keyboard sensor which turns the screen on.
otherwise, you can change the display time out in power options under settings.
Cheers

That's interesting, I've heard about the case doing that but never thought about it. Would you recommend any cheap cases, or is there a specific magnet location I should be careful of? And do you know if there is a way to keep the screen off when I get a text message for example?

There is a way to fix this... it is to disable "Wake on Slide." I have done this and no more problems.
Here is a link to what to do:

Hope it helps you, as it did me.

Thanks for the reply and I appreciate the help, but I don't really have a problem with the wake on keyboard slide, it seems that if the phone is in my pocket locked, and I get a text message, the screen comes on to notify me that I have a text message. Then, it's usually being bumped around in my pocket and since the touch screen is usable with any object, it will stay on because something will tap it in my pocket. The phone then heats up over time and drains battery. I want to find a way to keep the screen off at all times unless, I either receive a call, or push the power button. Thanks.

Try:
go to HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL
change DisableSMSWakeUpEvent to 1 (0 will wake up the device)
On my Rhodium, it does not wake up by default. I hear the notification, but my screen remains dark
Or try this cab file ... soft reset after install

Thanks for the .cab, I'm restarting now to see if it fixes the problem. Kind of random, but I might as well ask here before starting a new thread. I started using Mobile Shell instead of TF3D and so far I love it, but when setting a wallpaper, the wallpapers that I would normally use in TF3D, (480x800), it makes me select or crop out part of the photo to use as a background in Mobile Shell. I can't tell if it actually gets blurry (I would think so, because it's stretching the picture), but does anyone know why it wants me to only use a certain portion of the background instead of just setting the entire picture? Thanks,

More than likely, the version of Mobile Shell you have is either not designed for WVGA or there is a setting somewhere in there that allows you to change it and you haven't found it yet.
Am not a expert on mobile Shell, but according to their website, the latest version (3.5) does support WVGA.
Another option is to, if you have Adobe Photo shop or something similar, scale down the entire picture to the size it reccomends.
Otherwise, if you have a version earlier then 3.5, maybe you could upgrade and see if it makes any difference.

Lock Screen Issue on TP2 & Random Wakeup

I have Sprint Touch Pro 2 with the Sense 2.5 Rom. I installed Lock Device v1.6. It does lock the screen and it does seem to work as expected when I try testing it. I have it set to [lock on screen off] and I have [enabled] checked.
However, on a daily basis, when I pull my phone out of my case to use it at random times of the day, the phone is unlocked all by itself 90% of the time and of course unintended apps load and buttons pressed.
What is causing this to happen? I can't seem to generate this issue manually. There has to be something going on when the phone is in my case.
Also, I keep my phone on my dashboard in my car or on my seat when I'm driving. I noticed the phone will wake itself up randomly for no reason at all.
Are these 2 issues related? G-sensor issue maybe? Please shed some light and possibly any fixes.
Thanks in advance,
Daniel

i tried this program for a few minutes...when your phone wakes up...with reminders etc...screen isn't completly locked...neither were the hard buttons...explains the apps starting up.

Does this lock the hard keys for you?

Nvm it doesn't, just starts the stock lock screen when you push power. This doesn't lock hard or soft keys with an alarm, reminder, e-mail, missed call, etc... why your buttons are getting pushed when the phone wakes up.

[Q] Disappearing Lockscreen

Has anyone experienced the lockscreen not coming on after a screen time out or a screen turn off? I first noticed this about two weeks ago on my Droid Incredible phone while it was in an unrooted, stock state.
I then rooted and flashed to Skyraider 4.0. I have all the settings for the customized lockscreen set and this feature has been working like charm since flashing. The other day, when i pressed the power button to unlock the phone, it went right to my main home screen, rather than bringing up the lock screen. I checked and the lockscreen settings have not changed and are activated. I restarted and it was back to normal. This lasted about a week, then once again, the lockscreen disappeared.
I know its a stupid nit, but I like the security of the lockscreen / security option. Plus, it prevents pocket dailing. Anyone experience this on SR 4.0 or stock? I find it weird the problem would follow over after I flashed.

How often do you notice it? I'm running OMFGB and I've recently noticed it as well, seems to happen usually when I shut the screen off manually then realize I forgot to do something and turn it back on in <5 seconds....

[Q] Screen black after screen unlock

I've noticed that sometimes when I unlock my device I have a black screen with only the "multi-task" button and the status bar visible. It will stay like this until I "lock" the phone and unlock it again. Touching the "multi-task" button makes the rest of the buttons appear but touching them still doesn't make the screen respond. I have noticed this on both stock and custom rom. Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas on a fix or cause?
I am using the Virgin/Bell Canada GSM version.
Thanks
ps. I've posted a pic to give people an idea of what I'm getting....as it may seem unclear in my explanation.

At first this sounded similar to a problem I had.. I installed Wave Launcher, which for some reason did not play well with my phone. I would unlock the screen and the screen would immediately go black as if it had shut off, but I could still push buttons and receive haptic feedback. I had to have someone call me and delete the app while I was in the call.. it sounds kind of similar but not really.. my first guess would be some sort of problem with an app being incompatible.

I wanted to pass this on...I was reading in the Team Kang rom that there is a "bugfix version: app navigation menu icons no longer disappear after unlocking phone". So I hope this is what relates to my problem and has been "fixed"!
