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....

Am currently running WWE ROM 2.07.401.1 and what happens is, when the screen is locked and I receive a call, and then end the call either with the hardware button or screed button, the lock screen comes back instantly, but for the part over the bottom menu where it says all people and menu.
If you ignore the call, there is no issue...
There is a good 5-10 second lag before this disappears. Does anyone else have this issue or knows of a fix? (apart from reverting back to an earlier ROM, 1.86.xxx definitely doesn't do this )
Any help would be much appreciated!

Are you using Co0kies Home tab? I noticed with the latest version there were a lot of options for how the screen locked, one of them was to lock when ending a call.
Nope, totally standard
yup I'm having the same issue but i'm running the energy sense 2.5 rom. I was never running sense before this so didnt know if it was a issue with it or what. I disabled all the locking stuff and installed the new pocket sheild that does all the locking by proximity. I pull the phone out of my pocket and it unlocks after a few seconds
It'ss definitely a strange one as it only does it when you press the end call key(s) everything else is fine and refreshes instantly.
I bought the new EX ADW launcher and threw it in CM 6.1.1 before I flashed it. This thing is great, well worth the money and by far the best launcher out there. My main issue though is that for the life of me I can't get my phone to lock now. I can press power and the screen will time out like normal but when I 'unlock' it the screen just comes back on - no lock screen or anything. Even tried setting a pattern and got nothing. Anyone else have this issue or figure out how to fix it? I figure I just did something wrong
The second issue is I can't get my home button to do anything. No previews and it won't take me back to the home screen - in fact aside from vibrating when I touch it, it doesn't work at all. Could it be conflicting with the cyanogen settings or something else?
Any ideas would be appreciated and helpful.

Hmmm...I'm using adw launcher ex and I don't have either of those two problems you mention. I'm running 6.1.1. I'm using lock screen gesture to unlock the phone instead of pattern lock. For me, turning off screen and immediately waking it shows the lock screen. As for your home issue there is a home binding option in the settings, maybe there is your problem? I have mine set to default screen/previews when I press the home button.

Lockscreen issue has to be due to CM because ADW EX doesn't mess with that.
Check the input settings in CM Mod to make sure you don't have the lockscreen disabled.
I ended up re-flashing the ROM and it works now. It does it randomly - the last time it occurred after running a fix permissions, kind of strange. No sure if that's what caused it or not.
I did a quick search but didn't find anything on this. For whatever reason, whenever I switch apps from the drop down notification menu, it forces me to input my lock screen pattern, even when I have the lock screen toggled off. I have my settings set to auto lock after 1 min, but this happens whenever I switch apps, even before a minute has passed.
Is this a known issue? Is this happening to anybody else? Is there a fix?
Thanks.
Edit: I'm still on 4.02. It hasn't updated to .04 yet.
No one?
:T
Has this always been happening or did you install/flash something before it started happening?

I just got my GN yesterday, and it updated by itself to 4.02.
It's been happening ever since I turned on the lock screen. It goes away when the lock screen is turned off. But it's bizarre that it would ask for the lock pattern every time I switch apps from the notification drop down. It doesn't ask for the pattern if I were to switch apps with the App Switcher button.
Really perplexing...
Hate to keep bumping this, but this is just incredibly bizarre.
Can someone test on their GN if the same happens? Turn on a lock screen input, anyone will do. I happen to have the pattern lock. And try to switch between apps or alerts from the pull down notification menu (you can send yourself an email or something, or turn on the music player) and see if you are forced to put in your pattern/passcode/etc before you can switch over.
I have to put in my pattern to unlock the phone every single time I switch apps ONLY from the pull down menu. It's bizarre. If I switch apps from the App Menu, it doesn't do this.
I don't know what's going on. Is this a "feature" of ICS? Seems a bit overkill on security. Or do I actually have a faulty phone (but it seems software related?).
Any help would be great. If need be, I'll make a video to demonstrate what I'm talking about.
I had this problem on CyanogenMod. Change the lock screen to what you want, and then reboot. It should be fixed. If you don't do a reboot for some reason it gets confused.
Yes happens to me sometimes too on both 4.02 and 4.04 stock. I don't use a pattern lock but it just fades out and when I turn screen back on it's lockscreen.
Never had this problem. That is weird. I suggest flashing a stock image and see if it still happens. Make a nandroid first of course but throw it away and make a new nandroid if problem goes away.
bow chicka wow wow.

I will try this. Thanks for the suggestion. Hopefully it will work. Will update.

Yes, this solved it. Thank you! Oh, Ice Cream Sandwich.
I spoke too soon. It's back. I noticed when I toggle the lock screen off, the problem exists. But if I toggle the lock screen on, the problem goes away.
So it may be an issue with the widget itself. I'm using "No Lock" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jraf.android.nolock&hl=en)
I'm gonna test other toggle widgets to see if it's app related.

So.. it's a third party app you're using and not the stock ics lockscreen..
It would've been wise if you told us that on the first post

Yes that would have been good info to have, but I am not running anything custom on my lock screen (though I am on CM) and had this same problem.
I had to reboot the phone after every time I changed the lock screen from anything to anything or I'd run into problems. When changing from no lock screen to a lock screen, I would lose notifications when waking the screen up if the notification was for the last app open.
For example, I was in the Messaging app and locked the screen, without going to the home screen first (so if I were to unlock the app would be right there). Then I received a text and notification worked. I pressed the button to wake the phone and the lock screen showed up (pattern unlock) and the notification for my new text message in the notification bar disappeared. But I hadn't even unlocked so I could get to the app yet...
2 days ago I started getting a strange lock screen on my S3. I noticed it when my alarm went off in the morning. There was a plain black and blue lock screen. When I swiped past it, my alarm showed up. When I dismissed my alarm, my normal lock screen showed up (complete with the normal unlock pattern dots.)
This new lock screen doesn't show up all the time. Maybe 2-3 times per day. I think, but I'm not sure, that it's being triggered by the phone going to sleep. Turning the screen off and on only triggers the normal lock screen. The new lock screen never overrides the default lock screen - it's just over top of it. Also, it looks like if I disable lock screens altogether in settings, the new lock screen goes away.
I've uninstalled all launchers except Lightning Launcher and TouchWiz. LL's lock screen is a separate app that I do not have. I've uninstalled all lock screen replacements that I know of (I only had Widget Locker). I checked the list of recently updated apps to try to figure out if it's a new "feature", but nothing. I've checked the list of running apps, along with apps that automatically start up on load and I don't see anything strange.
Does anyone know of a way I can determine how to figure out what this is? I'd like to get rid of it.
I'm running StockMod ROM 4.3 (rooted). A screenshot is attached.
Thanks.
Hi!
Does StockMod ROM come with the Active Display feature? Because what you are seeing might some kind of Active Display...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2450697
I didn't see Active Display, but I did notice that Dynamic Notifications was enabled. Not sure when or why. I turned it off and I haven't seen anything pop up since. Hopefully that was it.
Thanks for your help!
I bought my GT-N5120 device just over a week ago and have set it up, installed apps etc without issue. However, this afternoon, I opened the sleep/wake cover, my device's screen turned on at the lock screen as usual. I then swiped the screen to unlock and nothing happened. For information, there was a frozen looking ripple effect on the lock screen, but this did not move/animate as it would do normally when unlocking. I swiped the screen a couple of times and then the device's screen went off, the Samsung boot animation displayed accompanied by its sound. The device then rebooted.
It seems OK now. This is the first issue i have experienced with this new device. My question is: is this likely to be anything to be concerned about?
Software version is stock, un-rooted 4.4.2.
Thanks in advance
