Lock screen doesn't work

Hello I am not sure at all what cause this problem but no matter what I do I cannot get my phone to have a lock screen. In fact I can't even to get it to slide in the beginning it just boots into my home screen and if I turn the screen on and off it goes straight back to the homescreen without me having to unlock anything. I've gone into the settings and made multiple types of passwords but none of them show up when I turn my screen on then off. I'm running paranoid android and any help would be nice

Old thread, I know. I found this thread searching for a solution to my
lockscreen problem. I want to leave this to help others.
I could not get the lock screen to work at all. I reflashed the ROM,
reloaded GApps, tried safe mode, and about a dozen other things...
nothing. GoLocker worked, but wanted the JB lockscreen.
I had set up Power Widgets in the notification drawer. One of them was the
lockscreen switch. I thought this locked the screen when tapped. I decided to
see if that would lock the screen. That's when I discovered that it activates/
deactivates the lock screen! It had been toggled off.
Toggling this switch does not change the status in the lockscreen settings, and
changing the lockscreen setting does not flip the toggle. So you need to check
both settings and the toggle, if you're using it.
Hope that helps!

My solution
My solution for this problem:
Go to settings --> Display & Lights --> Untick "Auto-rotate screen"! --> Profit (?)
P.s. I was on P.A.C rom.

[Q] Which is the best app to lock the screen and all the keys

Hello Guys,
I am looking for an app which disables screen touches as well as capacitive keys and power and volume keys when I am playing Rhymes for my toddler, tried No touch he always manages to find a way out to the home screen..
Any help appreciated. Thank you.

If you are talking about lock screen then try one of these two, I hope you'll find them helpful.
1. GOTO
2.WidgetLocker

thank you for your response. I think you misunderstood my requirement. I was not referring to the lockscreen. Anyway thanks for trying to help. Appreciate it.
Any more answers please...

Someone help please.

Have you tried zoodles?
Its a sandbox app that restricts usage to predefined apps.

Wouldn't it be scary if there's an app that can do these to your phone? How will you be able to turn the app off if non of the buttons and screen work?
I mean...unless you take battery out and in again...

True but at least there can be something like an on screen Pattern which will re enable the keys and touch

Remapping keys in lockscreen

The biggest app I use is Flashlight/Torch. I use it 50+ times a day and cm10 has the lovely feature of being able to remap a hardware key to it while still in lock screen. I have looked through files to see how they did it but I cannot find it. I want to be able to turn my flashlight on when in lock screen. I have been turning it on by the menu button. Is there any way I can do this on TWJB?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

I could write an app to turn it on, but you'd have to have the app as a shortcut on your lock screen. Cm10 does it through the ROM so it's quite simple.. don't think it's replicable b tw.

[Q] volume button to wake phone

hi everybody,
i didn't find anywhere an answer to this:
is it possible to wake up the screen of the N7100 with the volume button?
i can't find mods or apps that have this function.

Why do you need it? There are already 2 buttons to wake it. No enough yet?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

Haha, I had this mod on my Desire HD and it was great but I see absolutely no use for it on Note 2.
As Arsaw says, there are already two buttons you can use :good:

thanks for the answers.
i know there are already 2 buttons, but when i use the phone with left hand i find easier to wake it up with volume button.
i understand it's not a priority for developers, anyway if there will be, i will be glad

Third party lock screen replacement in the market like widget locker have that option if I'm not mistaken.

I always liked this feature with AOKP on my Gnex and I do miss it on the Note.
Edit: installed Widgetlocker. Seems the Note will not unlock via volume keys. Pity!

[Q] wake up lag?

So i love the note 3 just love it. When i first got it every time i would hit my power button it would wake up the phone very fast , as soon as i hit the button. Now I've notice every time i hit the power button i can see it take its time to show my lock screen ?? This happening to anyone? Also the phone is very very fast just wondering why its doing it now? Thanks!

Do you have multiple widgets enabled under the lock screen settings. ? Disable it. .

I have it off but when i pull down on the lockscreen the weather app is there.... Mind you i have everything off.

I have noticed this too. Sometimes it does it and some times it dont. Don't know if it's because we are rod or what. Thought about making it bout loop Judy to get another one and not rot it all ask to see if it does it on a stock note3 lol

Happens with every samsung device it's because of s voice is enabled

Disable home button from activating S-Voice
That should do the trick.

no way. I've run CM roms without S-Voice and it happens. it's a hardware thing. I got used to it with my SII.

I highly doubt that because I have run all types of ROMs and on any Samsung device when s voice is enabled there was always a lag. The note 2, the note 3, s3, s4. all of the forums have a thread just like this, and when 99 percent turn off s voice the lag goes way

Mine does it as well. Mine also does it when turning it off as well. Pressing the power button means waiting for a minimum 2 seconds for the phone to respond. I'm going to exchange mine since my original unit didn't have this problem. And no, its not any settings or apps causing this.

Mine doesn't do it, opens instantly every time whether I have widgets on or off but I don't have Voice unlock on.

Someone help me edit the commands for S-Voice. I'm looking to unlock the device with S-Voice, but can't see any options under ' Menu - Settings - Device - Lock screen ... ' I have enabled ' Wake up command ' and ' Voice Wake-up' under S -Voice Settings...
Where the heck do I find ' edit voice commands ' and ' lock screen options to add widgets ' ???
This is on my TMO [ stock, not rooted ] N3 ...
