Anybody knows if theres any app/widget that can quickly lock/off the screen just by one touch? I know you can always press the hard key on the right side but a quick tap on the screen would be beautiful. Theres quicklock for iphone hope theres one for SGS. Sorry if i missed anywhere. Thanks

try http://www.appbrain.com/app/app.lockenabler
That was superquick. Thanks. I saw it in the market but from the screenshot I thought it is doing something else. Although not locking immediately, but hey, its free and thanks again.
yeah.. it doesnt happen immediately.. its some android security restriction.. i was using that widget for sometime until it started acting up.. my screen used to turn off every 3 seconds even when i was using it normally.. but its working for some ppl just fine..

AutoRotate Switch (On/Off)
Screen off by konreu is really good but it is not free. I've tried lock enabler but it has an irritating habit of randomly setting my screen timeout to 3s.
All, i have recently flashed a NRG ROM Dinik Glass to my TMO HTc Touch Pro2.
I have been having a helluva time with the lock screen to the point where I am not sure if I will ever get into the phone again!!
What happens is that it loads up and gets to the lock screen - with the clock and alert icons - where you are to slide it down to unlock the screen. however half the time it will not even slide at all - as if the touch screen is not working. (to further support this, when an incoming call comes in, I cannot answer it with the touch options, I have to use the hard buttons).
Then when it does finally slide it doesn't unlock the device (or go to the pin code screen as i have it set up). i just lets you slide and pull the bar all over the place with no results.
I have been struggling with this for 3 hours tonight and am at a complete loss.
Please somebody help me out.
Thanks
Rob
Okay got it figured sort of... Digitizer is failing, had to 'pry' it a bit and it worked fine... guess I have to order a new digitizer and replace... until then, I'll keep prying it.. hope that express shipping works!
I am running the stock ROM, only rooted.
Sometimes when I try to unlock my phone, it acts as if I'm not even trying to unlock it in the sense that it doesn't even respond when I drag my finger across the screen. The only way to unlock it when this happens is to touch and drag an icon and unlock the screen that way (IE - open an app from the lock screen). I can then re-lock the screen and it will behave the same way again by not unlocking as if I'm not even touching the screen. The only way I have found to solve this where the lock screen reacts normally again is to reboot the phone.
The strange part about this is that in the developer options I enabled the show touches option thinking the digitizer just wasn't responding for some reason, yet I can see that touching the screen IS in fact working because it sees all the touch inputs. It just won't unlock. I can press the back arrow so it highlights the box I'm supposed to unlock inside and it still doesn't work. I just don't get it. It has done this since new as far as I can remember.
Anyone else?

I've got a similar issue, except mine is intermittent. Twice I've had the lock screen freeze on me. The only way to unlock it was to pull down my notification screen, set up a pattern for unlock, and then use that. Then I switched it back to swipe to unlock and it worked fine. I'm watching it carefully. If it starts happening more often, I'm going to request a warranty replacement.
Well, mine is intermittent as well. It doesn't happen every time by any means, just sometimes. As I said, I can pull it out of my pocket every once in a while and it does it. Do you have icons to launch apps from the lock screen? You should try that and see if it unlocks for you like it does for me.
I'm having the same issue. What ROM are you guys on?
This is still occurring and very annoying. I just got a second S4 as a work phone and it has not had this issue yet. As I said, it happened with the stock ROM, but currently I am using THIS rom. Happened again twice today.
Yea that happened to me to but since I rooted it and installed wicked v5 it's never done it again

This has to be an issue with the T-Mobile ROM, I am surprised I haven't seen other posts about it. I wonder if it's because most people have some kind of security on them and I only have the swipe to unlock with no effect? In any case, my work Verizon S4 has yet to do this, whereas my T-Mobile S4 does it at least once every couple of days.
The same thing happens to me as well. I got really frustrated, so instead to swipe to unlock I now have pattern.

Hello everyone! I'm new there and I need some help or orientation please.
Sorry for my weird English, is not my first language! I hope you can understand me
I bought a new Samsung Galaxy s4 mini Duos Latinoamerican version GT-i9192. one month ago, the pone works great and I'm testing all at 100%..First impressions are the battery life is not big. but that's not the problem there.
the first problems I have its a kind of ghost touches, let me explain what happens.
sometimes when I'm writing I press the "Y" letter and the phone shows that I pressed the "Z" for example., both are letters that are too far between they and I dunno why that happens! that don't happen all time and not a lot but sometimes happen! another thing I discovered is if I put one drop of watter on the screen and I touch on the drop the phone shows a continuous touch on the drop of watter, don't matter if I'm not touching the screen at all, keep the touch on the drop til the drop dissapears, is that normal? I tested a drop of water on another phones and nothing happens when I touch the Drop the phone reactions are normal just touch on the place when I touch and stop touching when I'm not touching.
the first thing is this. this only happens 2 times on this first month that I have with the phone.
the touchscreen touchs alone! I'm using the phone, normal, the screen don't have watter and nothing weird just fingers marks on the screen protector, and the screen touch on a specific point alone, and don't stop touching, if I clear the area, turn off/on the screen still touching alone! the first time that this happens its solved alone just turned on /off the screen and stop the touch, the second time don't stop, don't matter if I clear the area or turn off /on the screen. the second time I solved restarting the phone and works normal again.
someone have some interesting for say about that? I dunno if that are normal or not.. I thinking to do a factory reset maybe would help? I never restored or flashed nothing, this my stock rom!
I hope someone can help me, thanks!

Maybe my answer won't help you much but sometimes I have this too (maybe 5-6 times over the last 6 months) - restarting the phone solves the issue.
What you can do is to activate "Show touches" and "show pointer location" in the developer options to see what really happens on the screen. You can activate the developers options by tapping several times on "Build Number" in "Settings -> About Device"

Thanks for the answer, I did this when I bought the phone and yes, I confirmed with this options that the phone touchs bad and alone, cause the phone shows the touch point!

It seems your touch panel is either faulty or requires re-calibration. You probably need to visit the service centre or try their hotline.

Oh, you can try on your phone using a drop of water on the screen and the option to show the touch points active, and say if the screen touch alone. just put one drop off water and move your fingers over the drop, the ghost touch will appear, can u? thanks a lot!

No touch points are shown unless I dip my finger into the water drop. The water wraps round my finger and forms a part of my fingertip.
You could always check the touch sensors and the touch screen version. And you could look into seeing if there is a new version of the touch screen. Type these codes into the dialer to check.
*#*#0842#*#* device test (vibration test and backlight test)
*#*#2663#*#* touch screen version
*#*#2664#*#* touch screen test

For the general test menu (including touchscreen panel), the codes should be *＃7353＃ or *#0*#
The codes are not universal across all Samsung devices.
Oh, I thought those codes were for any Samsung device.

This is my first post here. I searched but didn't find anything like this. I posted on another site and nobody could help.
Ok so I just got my M8 yesterday and so far love it. However I have found a small issue that really bothers me. For some reason when on the lock screen gestures, if I swype left to go to home screen it always takes me to the screen just to the right of blinkfeed. I have changed my home screen and reset it so that my home screen is in the middle of two panels. (Blinkfeed is two to the rignt). However regardless each time I swype left on lock screen it takes me to the (what was the default) panel where the home screen used to be.
Anybody else experience this or know how to fix?
