HOX: No LockScreen - HTC One X

Heya.
Whenever I lock the phone with the power button and unlock it, it comes back to the original page where it was before locking the screen. This didnt use to happen before. I used to get a lockscreen, where i wud need to slide the arc upwards to unlock. But its not showing anymore
It does show up once in a while on its own. I have tried killing all the background apps, but still no luck. Have checked the display settings as well as security settings, nothing :/
P.s.: Have not rooted my phone
If i have missed something, or some setting, please let me know how to fix this. Its really annoying to see the homescreen after i press the power button. I want to see the lockscreen always which has the notifications and the arc slider to unlock >.<
Thanx.

Try to root back your phone, download terminal editor from market, and there must to be an option to repair or smtn your lockscreen. Then unroot it back and enjoy.
An other option is to root it and open root folder blablabla. Somewhere.
I hope, I helped you

[Q] Answer phone

every other time my phone rings I cant answer it. The accept button just wont move?? is it just me or have anyone else had this error I have a dezire z
Do you have set CPU set to 245MHz @ screen off?
no i dont, why?
Well that could be one cause, maybe it's a bad app causing your phone to temporarily freeze? Can you slide it the other way and ignore the call?
Did you try flashing a different kernel?

why do you suggest this? how do you know hes using kernels? im just trying to see what your connection to the solution is -its quite a specific answer to a problem that hasnt really been examined. what rom is he on, etc before you can start talking about kernels -- so can you clarify?
accept button - do you mean the slider? if you have cmod - just activate settings to disable lock menu/trackball/ whatever --also you could try the no-lock unless you have security issues.
if no cmod -- theres apps to reduce the lockage -- that may help you get your phone calls but still doesnt fix the problem? you could try enomther's and his awesome extra ssettings app has all those options
Thanks for your help, well it is my wifes phone and it is fresh from the store, just a bunch of apps installed.
I will try some things and see if i can figure it out. And yes it is the slide button, can that be switched for a push button, Is it theme based or in the dialer?? hope you understand what i say.

If its a stock DESIRE Z and not a G2 then I think it's safe to assume its got sense on it and not AOSP. Did you try hard resetting it? (power down and pulling the battery for at least 30 sec) other than that id check for any OTA updates in the settings menu. OR if you're willing/know how, you can root it and run CM or virtuous. Both ROMs are excellent. If you do that and the problem persists, it could very well be a faulty unit. You have a lot of options!
I found I had problems answering calls when I had a specific make of screen protector on the phone. As soon as I took that off and went back to a previous one I'd used then it was fine again ! It's a long shot, but I thought I'd throw it in there.
Problem solved, An update did the trick, thanks for helping out my friends,

[Q] HELP re auto update

Hi Peeps,
I initially had some issues with 'accidentally' taking the 1.72 update....since then however I followed the guides to roll back to 1.34 and this worked absolutely fine and have been using my phone with no issues, id also at this stage turned off the auto update feature....its still stock but with root and S-off
Since then id tried to flash the track pad wakeup fix and ended up borking my tackpad LED notification, so I had to do a nand restore (this also worked fine) but then I forgot to again disable the auto update......
Anyways I've now got an 'system update' notification sat menacingly in my notification bar and I cant clear it
I don't like it sat there in case I accidently touch it whilst clearing text notifications etc....any tips.....I daren't press it to check if I can not accept (or cancel) it lol in case it just starts and given how much of a ball ache it will cause.....
I'm pretty sure you can press the notification and then reject the update, I remember member stevie_weivie explaining this ,
Found it

Also every time I restart my Bluetooth is turned on and the screen timeout is set to 10 mins. I'll post a video later

The lock screen disappearing and the power menu going away is a bug that can randomly happen apparently. You probably trigged this bug by going into the lcdtest menu (typing *#0#* or whatever it is). The only way to fix this is a master reset. Just avoid using the lcdtest menu and it shouldn't happen again.

alright will try to do a master reset again and not do the lcd test this time .....

it's all in the software
keep an eye on what you are installing, and how the apps behave in the phone
some apps stay in the background if you don't exit them properly
the screen lock bug is a known issue that gets triggered after you run some test
to get it back just restore everything back to default using factory wipe
did the factory reset .... and didnt do any test .... yet the second day the lock screen disappeared and the third day the restarting happened and still it continues

yea I'm sure its just a software issue hopefully its fixed soon.
but I've tried everything. like the person above from me said, it happened on the second day.
I've tried factory resetting the phone and even flashing a stock rom and no go. its gone.
im not having the restart issue though
hope everything will be fixed in ice cream sandwich .... the lock screen in that is a facial recognition ... so hope it will be a huge improvement ... cant wait for that .... just read somewhere that samsung might get ice cream sandwich to s2 users as early as December
Will samsung be releasing a patch before ICS to address the pattern draw lockscreen issue? This is the only problem preventing me from leaving the sensation and jumping onboard the SGS2. I carry a lot of sensitive material, so that would be a huge security breach.
Ive only had this issue when the phone boots on. There are unlock icons but i see my homescreen and the phone is locked. Rooted to jugs 2.6 and still the same thing.

This was a big deal with the Samsung Behold 2. I am surprised samsung repeated this software defect with such a high end phone. I wonder if there will be a patch for this before the ICS update. IMO this is worse than the vertical lines!
Problem Solved
i actually figured out a way to restore my lock screen back.
Note: This involves messing with the efs folder. So do this at you own risk
also, your phone must be rooted in order to do this.
Tools Needed:
1. Hex Editor
2. Root Explorer
Steps to restore:'
1. Using root explorer locate the /efs/imei/ folder. In that folder there should be a file called keystr. In my case the file was missing which is why the lock screen was missing and was causing my problems.
2. using root explorer create a new file called keystr
3. also in root explorer open the file keystr in text editor and type ON
4. now go into hex editor and locate the /efs/imei/keystr file.
5. using hex editor the first two values in green should be 4f and 4e. all others should be 00.
6. make sure you save the file.
7. reboot.
Sorry to bring up and old thread but I just wanted to have it here incase anyone has the same problem in the future. I had the same problem as well after running LCD Test. To fix it I followed the solution on this thread

Major issue. launcher stopped

Hi Guys
Got a major problem.
My sgn now does not work.
When you turn the phone on it boots up as normal but then displays this -
Unfortunately, Launcher has stopped.
Report / ok
If you press report it sends a report and repeats, if you press ok it just repeats.
Can't use the phone at all. Took battery out and still the same.
The phone is stock with no mods, the only thing i have done is encrypt the phone today so i can she exchange email. Its been working fine since i did that now boom.
HELP!!!!!!!

Press and hold the volume up and down buttons at the same time as the power button and the phone will boot in to a bootloader and you can then use the volume buttons to select recovery mode, press the power button to confirm and this will basically reset the phone.
Please thank if this helps.
Rik.
You most likely installed an app or widget not yet compatible with ICS.

Try to get into the settings first before doing a factory.If you are quick enough you should get there via the notification bar shortcut.
Go into apps - switch to "all" - search for the launcher and delete data. That should reset your launcher.
you might be able to clear your launcher data, might be more work then its worth though

Probably can't do anything with the launcher dead.
Factory reset seems to be the only option... although there was a problem with encryption staying on across factory resets (at least the password). If that's the problem, it could result in it failing every time.
I forget the solution the Guy found in that thread. Hopefully it doesn't come down to anything intense.
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV
Maybe try to push an alternative launcher to the phone from the market website. Install and use the alternative launcher to trouble shoot and clear data on the stock launcher.

I managed to get into the notification bar (about ten attempts)
Anyway Cleared The Launcher Cache And Back To Normal?
As Always Thanks For The Help?

no notifications for any app (sms/facebook/email etc)

Hi there!
I am on a DHD Dutch stock version, kernel: 2.6.35.10 / build 3.12.405.1
I have a problem with the notifications: I don't get any! That is to say..I do receive a notification in the bar and there is the flashing LED,m but no sounds. This is for all apps which are supposed to give you sounds (facebook/email/whatsapp/sms etc).
Of course I have checked the settings..I also tried a hard reset, but neither are working.
According to the shop I will have to send my phone, but you can imagine that I don't like to send my phone away for 2 weeks if I can solve this myself. I was waiting for the ICS update and with all the hassle going on for the update (is it coming or not...), I would rather wait with putting a custom rom on it..
however since the absence of notifications is really annoying...does anyone know a solution?
thanks a lot,
Karin
Missing Notifications
I had the same problem back before i put a custom rom on my phone.
i would say just root your phone and flash a rom of your liking. MIUI is nice
that would fix your problem.
with me i think it turned out to be a conflict between the notification settings in my apps and in the phone itself.
in messages there should be settings to change the notification. have you looked there?
I guess i will have to do that if nobody knows a solution...i think it is some kind of bug...in the stock rom...
I have checked my settings, and...resetting to factory settings didn't help to get notifications back, not even for text messages for example...

Notification fix
I know you checked settings.
Did this include opening the message app to the main screen, them pressing menu>settings>notification>play notification sound?
also while in notification settings on your messaging app, choose one of the sounds and is should play as a preview. does this work?
have you set "quiet hours" on your phone?

no , just checked again
damn...so i guess i am going to root again...it is a while ago...my last custom rom was with my samsung i8910 :s
Wanted to let you know that I solved it
First, I have set all settings, being the general settings, specific settings and app settings to ' do not receive any notification'... This didn't change anything, it even kept on giving led flashing although I disabled that....
than I did a factory reset again...after that, all settings were on 'standard', and nothing was working...
Then I changed everything to a custom sound in stead of the standard beep... No luck....
then I did the factory reset again....and than suddenly it worked
Yeah....
(although I am still seriously tempted to root )
