[Q] Go Locker double lock issue - Samsung Galaxy W I8150

Hi all,
when I enable Go Locker app, I always obtain a double lock screen, meaning I first have to unlock the phone with the Go Locker lock, then I still have to unlock the phone with the default phone lock.
I found posts and solution for other phones, but no one specifically for our GW I8150.
I tried using NO-LOCK app too but didn't solve the problem.
Anyone has the same issue?
Any suggestion how to solve this problem?
Thanks.

I actually found to have the same problems with alot of 3rd party lockers and the only one I found so far that doesn't have that problem is WidgetLocker which works fantastically on my SGW with no problems so far. I would suggest using it instead but i'm not sure if you would like it or not.

Do you mean WidgetLocker Lockscreen from TeslaCoil Software?
That's not free anyway...

Ah, sorry but I really couldn't find any 3rd party locker that doesn't give the double lock problem and if I knew then I would gladly have suggested it but if you do find a way to get it then it would work fantastically.

OK thanks anyway.
I also tried to use the "No lock" app to disable the default lock and then to apply the Go Locker, but didn't work...
Suggestions are welcomed, thanks!

I've stopped using Go Locker a long ago since I was not able to solve this issue.
If you find a solution, please let me know, thanks!

my problem is solved after uninstalling the proximity app. Not sure this solution will work for your phone ^^ (maybe you should check any app that relates to the sensors of the phone)

For anybody that uses WidgetLocker...

Are you able to power off your phone from the lockscreen? On my nexus it seems that all the buttons have been disabled.
I am on stock 4.0.1 ICS btw and I have noticed the same thing with my galaxy tab 10.1.
Not me. The option comes up, but wont accept a touch.
Is WidgetLocker updated to android 4.0 yet? I'd definitely would be using it...hmmm

ICS source code became available, when? Nov 14? Last WidgetLocker update was only Nov 18 and description makes no reference to ICS. I'd say no, it is not fully updated for compatibility with ICS yet.
I have the same results as described above by OP. That's really the only problem I have though. Otherwise it is working fine on ICS.
Widgetlocker works just fine for me, and I am in fact able to make use of the buttons from the power menu.
Stock & rooted 4.02
Yeah I can't click the pop up buttons either, can't remember ever needing to though so it doesn't bother me.

Yea it doesnt bother me much either, it was just a little inconvenience i noticed while using it. Its only an extra second to unlock the phone and then press the power button.
Just wanted to know if I was the only one.
sometimes i can, sometimes i can't, it's not consistent
(stock rom, unrooted)
Sorry to get OT, but I CANNOT get handcent to pop up messages over Widgetlocker now. It worked on Gingerbread. Any suggestions would be awesome as the dev of Widgetlocker just ignored my email.
If I could set a custom lock screen wall paper and add widgets to the stock unlock screen I would have no use for widgetlocker, but as for now...I love it. Just this one issue.
In an attempt to contribute, No, I cannot. I push "Power off" but it will not work unless I unlock and then do it. I am on stock 4.0.2.
the only thing bothering me from the current version of widgetlocker is the lock screen comes up when I am on a phone call...
i have to unlock the screen in order to end a call

the Handcent popup works fine for me when WidgetLocker is on the lock screen. i don't remember changing any setting in WidgetLocker to make this work. are you using the latest version of Handcent (3.9.10) from the market?
I have a question for all of you - have any of you tried to use WidgetLocker on a custom ROM?
Terminators run on Android
I have. Works great on arhd and aokp

Yes, and it will pop up if the phone is on and at the home screen or in an app, but it will not "Wake" widget locked or show the message over the top of it when I go to unlock it. :/

[Q] NEED HELP: D855 Widgets blink after screen unlock

I have issue with my widgets after unlock. Most of the time after screen unlock, widgets disappear for one or two seconds. It looks like widgets reloading from some reason. I have tried factory reset, hard reset, even flash kdz file, but still no change.
Anyone have an idea what can be root of this problem?

Same sentiments on LG G2...got ducking tired of it and switched to Nova!
It's not normal and it's the launcher. Launcher redraws do that.
If you have lots of apps running, well the launcher is "reloaded" when you go back home. Due to the nature of heavy things happening on the G3 lock screen I think this happens a lot.
Third party launchers alleviate the issue to some extent.
I also tried to edit build.prop file in system where i added ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1, but it didn't help.
There must be some way, how to keep launcher in memory.
By using third party launchers i will miss some widgets.
To solve this blink issue, I use AppSetting (Xposed Module) and i select "Resident" in settings of com.lge.launcher2.
Reboot, and you're done.
This option let your phone to keep this application in RAM.
Thanks...solve my problem

What worked for me was force stop Chrome and dont use it. use a different browser. So far no redraw.

I think this blink issue already fixed by new software update release couple days ago. I face the same problem then. Now no more blink in the home screen.

Double Tap To Sleep Only Works in Lockscreen For Me

I just got my brand new HTC 10 today. Double Tap to Wake works fine, but why does DT to Sleep ONLY work on the lockscreen and not from the Home screen?
Can someone help? I already did a Gravity Test/Calibration Check btw.
Thanks!
It would not work because probably the first tap would open the app from the shortcut on your home screen if you would have any. This is why this is not working on home screen or any other screen. Just in lock screen mode.

Kruk,
Ok. Is there ANY way around this though? My Sony Xperia phone has the same feature but NO issue with double-tap to sleep despite also having a lock screen.

On the stock ROM, no. Some custom ROM's have a feature that allows you to double-tap the status bar to turn the screen off, though.

yes, you would need to.
Nova Launcher has even a feature to double tap anywhereto turn the screen off....BUT it needs root to for that.

I'm pretty sure Nova launcher doesn't need root for double tap to lock. It works on my unrooted HTC 10. I'm not sure if it requires Pro though

I have Pro Nova, but still couldn't get it to work. Well, I mean I did, but the problem is, while it's "working", all the security stuff on my phone gets disabled as a result. I DO NOT have this issue with LG, Samsung, and Sony phones, only HTC. This is unacceptable. HTC should know better.
Nova Launcher does it fine, however, when unlocking, if you use fingerprint security, it forces you to use the password. This is probably an Android security issue, and not an HTC issue, since it behaves this way on all devices. I'll let someone with more knowledge on the subject explain why it is so.

Yeah but on LG, Sony, and Samsung phones, their systems DO NOT force you to put the password/PIN in again. That's why I wish HTC would take note of what those 3 are doing and implement those processes on their own phones.
I use this app for double tap to sleep. Works great.

Hi jimm2,
I'm actually VERY familiar with that app and had been using it for years until recently. I also have family that still use it.
I DID actually try that one out too, and it DID work...........however, the sacrifice I have to make in order for it to work is that I can no longer have the security settings of my phone enabled.......it completely bypasses them. And I am not willing to give that up, so unfortunately I can't use it.
Thank you though anyway!
I have fingerprint security to unlock the HTC 10.
Now I cannot wake the phone with double tap to wake. Is this a bug or a security issue which is normal?
thank you

Double-tap to wake works fine for me with fingerprint unlock enabled. Are you on a stock ROM, or custom?

Hi,
I'm using the stock ROM. I'm guessing it may have to do with HTC Lockscreen. Is there a way to reset it? Or possibly there is another strange reason for the problem
Thanks

Hi
I am facing this weird issue since I got my lenovo p2 a couple of days back. Whenever I pull down the notification bar and try to get to quick settings or press a toggle for Lux or any other app in the expanded bar it hangs for a second...
I am not fully able to explain the problem so have tried my best... I wasn't able to find any previous mentions of the problem maybe bcoz it's a weird issue to explain
Pls ask questions and let me know if you need any details... Would appreciate your help
Sometimes I have this issue too.

I use Nova launcher too (beta version).
I used to have the notification lag issue, which was solved temporarily by cleaning up the notification history when it happened. But the problem seems completely gone for me, even if I didn't do anything special.
So maybe you could try to install the latest Nova launcher beta, to see if it helps ?

Even I'm in nougat and i am facing the same sudden lag issue what's the solution
Nougat is so laggy I hate it.... Seams like the only solution is downgrade to marshmallow or install a custom Rom! But I followed any single tread here since over a year now and it seams there is no custom Rom that's 100% bug free for Daly usage
So maybe selling my P2 is the only option

Question Edge Gestures do not work

FIXED
This has been going on with 2 x 9Pro phones now. The left and right side edge gestures hardly ever register.
I've tried talking to OP support but they literally told me the have never heard of this issue and can't help me .
I shot a Video showing the issue. If anybody has any ideas please let me know.
Hmmm strange, I've got two 9 Pros and neither have shown this issue, I did wonder if it was related to Brave but that seems to be functioning fine. Out of interest, have you tried factory settings and seeing if they work straight out the box as such?
Could it maybe be an app you've installed interfering with gestures maybe? What launcher are you using?

That's what I was thinking, some other app that's trying to take over gesture management, I know there's one popularized by XDA themselves
