[Q] ghost of HTC screen lock keeps reappearing - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After purchasing WidgetLocker, I deleted HTC Screen Lock using Titanium, but somehow, every time I wake the phone, the old HTC screen lock appears for a split second. It's not really an annoyance, but I was wondering if I really deleted the HTC stock screen lock?

WidgetLocker is an app and isn't part of the system files and therefore it cannot fully replace the default lockscreen. It does it's best to load up quickly.

Very minor yet odd problem with screen when I turn Desire on

When I turn my phone on, and then slide down to unlock, it very briefly shows me the 'main' screen on my 7-page wide homescreen (the one that shows the time and shortcuts to email, people, etc) but then quickly zips across 2 'pages' to the left without me even touching it. Like page 2 rather than the middle one, page 4, the default screen when I turn it on from sleep.
Does anyone know why it might do this?
Make sure you don't come near your htc desire trackball, if I assume you have a desire! In my experience with my desire it is some times very sensitive to the smallest movement (skipping 7 screens when trying to switch 1 screen)

I always found the Sense UI very buggy when it came to managing the screens. I would sometimes loose all widgets and shortcuts until I switched to an empty screen then back again. Or it would jump to the last screen randomly when an app closed.
Just get rid of Sense UI and you won't have the problem (you may want to wait until your warranty is up).

Lock Screen

Hi
So I renamed my HTCLockScreen.apk so it uses stock android lock screen, but when I recaive text massige it dosn't show from who it is or any part from sms as HTC lock screen did. Is there a way to fix it so it show from who it is? Also when I recaive calls shows htc lockscreen.

Does your phone flash the desktop before showing the lock pattern?

This happens around 90% of the time when I'm using WidgetLocker. If I turn the display on, it'll show the widgetlocker screen, i unlock the WL screen, then it'll flash the actual homescreen for ~0.5secs then it'll show the lock pattern i set up. I recall this happening before without using WidgetLocker as well.
I'm currently unrooted and running stock (soon... rooted will be done soon.) and have seen the same thing using the TW Launcher.
Kinda makes you wonder how secure that lock really is, doesn't it?

[Q] Note 2 Automatically bypass lock screen

Hey guys, recently (today 1/28) i noticed my galaxy note 2 automatically bypasses the lock screen whenever the screen wakes up (so no ripple effects, and i have no lock or pin or pattern set, so just a swipe would work). So I tried setting up a pattern lock, and similar thing happens. The phone would wake up, go to home screen for a split second, then returns back to the lock screen with the pattern lock.
I was wondering, does anyone know whats wrong with this?
Extra information: I used to have GO launcher on it with their custom lock screen. However, I uninstalled everything already, so that shouldn't be a problem.

it's Go Locker... it's not the best lock screen replacement... you should turn off the go locker lock screen and turn on the stock one. Clear defaults on Go Locker and set it to just Go Launcher and enable the original lockscreen after disabling Go Locker

but I have already cleared w/e data that Go Locker has and then uninstalled it. So i doubt that Go locker is causing my lock screen bypassing problem, unless it was some sort of glitch from when i had it (i used it for 2 days)

I tried rebooting, removing battery, rebooting without SD card. So far nothing works. Odd thing is that, during the early part of reboot when the widgets are not fully loaded yet, this problem don't exist. But when the widgets are fully loaded, this problem returns
I am using stock and for like less than a half of a second that happens. Nothing u can really do with it.

Problem is completely solved now. Apparently, it is the result of a bug/glitch in a chinese music streaming app that I got from Google play. Also, thanks to everyone that replied to this.

I had the same problem, I had the "Lock instantly with power key" unchecked, however the phone still locks it right after I push the power key no matter how long I set the lock time. Then I found out that whenever I have the Kugou Music running, it does that. So as long as you quit the program when not listening music, you are fine.
And there's actually one setting on Kugou Music that override the lock screen.

[Q] Mysterious Lock Screen

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!
