Dear all Defy users,
I am the developer of "Screen Off and Lock" and would like to seek for your reports regarding using the app on your phone. Since I received some reports about the screen will go off and on again after 1 to 2 seconds, could someone give me the following details:
1. The ROM you are using
2. Method of using the app (i.e shortcut from launcher / shortcut from notification bar / long press the search button etc)
3. Delay device locking option is enabled or disabled
4. Kind of screen off animation
5. Problem description (such as screen off and on after several seconds, no animation and screen just goes off immediately etc)
I don't have a Defy for testing so every report from you guys will be appreciated and sorry for my limited English.

1. Official 2.2 Froyo CEE Rooted
2. Shortcut from notification bar + long press/search button
3. 1 sec
4. No animation
5. The screen doesn't goes off but it locks itself. After the sistem delay of inutilisation, the screen goes off.
CM7 RCO 2.3.4
Shortcut from launcher
Disabled Delay ( CM7 has the TV intro/Outro i used out of the box)
The screen goes off. It works. Great App.
I posted in the Market comment section of your app that on 2.2/2.1 versions it does not work properly.( i used official and Custom ROM. I used to have Pays 2.2 Froyo. before CM7). The screen goes off and than on locked. Didn't bother me that much as it is very stable-always worked. I initially thought i have to pay for screen off from first press.
Nevertheless great app. Hope you solve the problems ^. And thank you for talking to us here on XDA.
The problem

Hello!
I have a Defy, and I think there's a problem with the Froyo, not the app.. I will leave you to decide.
1. 2.2.2 - froyo official release
2. tried it in all the ways, the same result.
3. Delay device locking option enabled.
4. Old TV Style (did'nt try the rest - this is the reason why I installed it in the first place )
5. Animation, then screen off, and then on again, with the lock screen (this is the problem).
Now, the error is the same with similar apps like yours (I tried 2 more widgets: Lock Screen Widget and Screen Lock Widget). They all have the same result: screen off, than back on with a swype screen locker (yours is a little bit cooler, it also has the nice animation).
Anyway, this is the behaviour on all of them, regardless the screen lock way (none, pattern, pin or password).
Teoretically, all the apps should do the same thing as the power button does, and they do it half way (the display goes off, but then back on with the swype screen unlocker)
In the none selection, the power button is the only one that acts correctly, it just powers off the screen. In the case of the apps, I have the swype unlock.
In the other selections (pattern, pin or password), also after the power button (after I press it again to unlock), the swype thing appears, and then the correct unlocker.
So, I'm not an expert, but I think there could be some kind of 2 levels locker in the froyo, which have a bug. Cause the swype unlocker teoretically should not be present nowhere in these scenarios (there is no option to activate/deactivate it, but it is present - this swype unlock was not present in android 2.1 -eclair).
Good luck with the app! (I will definately use it after I solve somehow this problem with the screen locker).
Best Ragards,
Alex
I have the exact same experience with my Defy. It has Froyo Nordic including motoblur
I tried all apps for this, and they all have the same behavior.
Only one works: "Screen off FX". But I suspect that it works in a different manner because it does not need to be device administrator. Maybe it will use more battery that way. Anyway I do not like it because it takes 20 secs before the screen is finally off.
Do you think it could be a problem with motoblur? Do you other guys have motoblur on your Defy?

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....
Hi,
I've got the latest FW and am running on DooMLoRD's kernel #8 (now on #9), min/max 256/1209MHz and everything was fine until a couple of days ago when some random Force closes started appearing, and today I experienced SIM lock skips. By that I mean that when my phone boots, it shows SIM lock screen, but after a few seconds it continues to main screen without me entering the code. This second thing started happening after I've installed WidgetLock Lockscreen.
The phone also didn't allow me to connect to my operator. It showed me a toast message Your SIM card can't connect to this operator, or something along that line.
Also, some system apps started FCing, and when I was receiving a call, I saw only the notification bar and black screen, thus could not answer. My phone usually vibrates for a few seconds, then starts ringing, and a bit after that shows the screen with who's calling and the answer/reject slide bar (this whole action is way too slow :/ ).
I went into recovery mode and restored one of the backups, then turned on my phone and everything was alright. After that I restored the newest backup from today and now everything seems to be in its place.
Any ideas what might have been the problem? The call screen delay is still there (it show up after 10 seconds of ringing + a second or two to be able to answer). Is that normal? I also noticed that with WL Locksreen enabled I have to wait SEVENTEEN seconds to be able to see the call screen and answer the call.
My GN which is rooted (only so I could remove takjuxw and put takju on it) and on 4.1.1 has this strange problem with the gyro.
After using a phone for a day or so, the gyro stops working. This manifests itself as the phone not autorotating when put into landscope mode, apps quick respond to shaking stop working and a game that rely on the phone being tilted side to side to move a character not responding.
The problem is always fixed by a reboot. But, and this is the puzzling aspect, the problem can also be corrected by doing the following.
- put the phone into standby mode
- orient the phone in landscape
- unlock the phone (I only use the slide lock) by moving the lock icon up to the top edge of the screen, holding it for a second or so and then releasing. The screen will freeze momentarily and then unlock to a landscape orientation. From then the auto rotation will work for a while.
From that it's hard to know if the problem is hardware or software but it occured with ICS, JB 4.1 and then JB 4.1.1 and on the first JB installation I did a complete wipe and installation.
Anybody seen this behaviour before and provide some ideas of what the problem could be?
Thanks
Could be an app causing it to get stuck in a certain mode, does it still do it with a clean install? (No 3rd party apps installed)
So i've been using teamcanjica's CM11 for a few months ... And lately i had a problem that sometimes when i press the power button to unlock the screen ,the scren never turns on .. Only the backlights (if i managed to unlock the screen it shows a "lockscreen has stopped working" or sth) ..however today i removed my pattern security and set the slider .. And now even when i turn on the phone the lockscreen freezes and i get to my homescreem but without a notification bar and nothing responds ! Now i can't use my phone ... Is there a way to fix this without having to do a factory reset ?
Should flashing cm10 do the trick ?
Thnx for your time
