Bug in pattern unlock screen - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

I am running stock rooted rom/kernel without any themes or mods. This has happened couple times now when i press power button to lock the screen in the middle of a video playing in apps like IMDB the pattern grid is offset to the right and i cannot enter the unlock pattern. Had to sign in with Google acc. Anyone had this issue?

this happened to me on face unlock except the camera portion stayed up and off to the side, would recognize, and wouldnt clear screen to go to the backup lock screen.
BTW I'm still stock unrooted....only happened to me once.

This happened to me with Face Unlock and with pin unlock multiple times consecutively right out of the box. I had to pull the battery and it hasn't happened since. :fingers-crossed:

Hmm..interesting. i can consistently reproduce the issue by pressing power button when a video is playing in an app or full screen flash video is playing in dolphin hd browser.

I think this is an android spread problem not specific to the device. Coming from the Htc one S I experienced the same issue.

It would happen on my G2X quite a bit as well if not all the time.

Weird feature when you hit HOME button

So I've recently noticed that once you hit home when you are using any app, you get this sort of short cut screen, is there any way to get rid of it?

This should be in the Q&A section, but to answer the question this recent shortcut screen is displayed only when you press and hold the home button, if you just press the home button without holding it takes you to the home screen of your preferred launcher. I'm not sure if its possible to disable this.
Been around since at least android 2.0. Eclair

I don't know how you get that.
When I'm in "any app", and press home - I get home.
If I'm in "any app" and hold home, I get the typical shortcut box.
All I get when I hold home is the task manager screen which is what's supposed to happen when you do that. I've never seen that screen before.
This screen displays when phone thinks it's in a desktop dock.
Thank you for the info, I rebooted and it went away, again thanks!

EDIT: Ok like ericcanboni said it is the desck clock on the original clock, but now everytime I press home it takes me to this, usually a reboot would fix it but now not even that fixes it, I uninstalled the stock clock and fixed it, but I just reinstalled it and its still doing it, anyway to fix this or do I have to use a different alarm now?
It might be car home or something like that

Recently used apps......????

That is the dock screen, comes up when your phone is docked. Pretty sure it's magnetically triggered or something.

It's the 'Desk Clock' tab in the stock Clock app. Not sure why it would be opening every time you press home. I think it does open when attached to a desk dock, but I'm not sure.

Live Wallpaper on lockscreen

ok i was just messing around when i used holo lock for the jellybean lock screen and i didnt like it so i just uninstalled it and somehow my live wallpaper was my stock lock screen. I tried to reproduce what i had did, i have to restore my phone cause i messed it up.., and was unable to recreate the results. There where a couple of threads that had to mention it and a 3ed party app but somehow i did it without any apps any ideas???
Are you talking about having the live wallpaper from your main screens showing up on your lock sceen? If so, just set a non stock picture as your lock screen wallpaper (like a picture you took) go in to recovery, flash Darkside Cache Wipe. And that will give you a transparent lock screen. Like this

No I think he means an actual live lock screen

Compass orientation off in new GMaps?

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Ever since updating Google Maps to the new version with the new UI, compass orientation is always wacky while in 3D mode. See the screenshot below to see what I mean:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is what it looked like immediately after tapping the location button twice. Even worse, the map doesn't even pan in the direction the dot is facing half the time, but instead moves in the opposite direction.
This doesn't seem to be a problem while in navigation mode, but it is nonetheless annoying.
Apologize if someone already posted about this but I couldn't find one. I've only tested on Rootbox, but I've used many ROMs in the past and in my experience that has never made a difference.

Yep you are correct, mine has been the same. For example completing a whole roundabout before we even get there. Moving to a field even though we're on a marked road. Moving sideways whilst driving forward. Very weird!

Emergency alerts and video camera

Ok so if I get an emergency alert it stays up until I go into app settings and force stop it. When I restart it it makes the loud tone every time.
Also my camera doesn't give me the option to take video. I looked at another girls g5 and there was a bottom right next to the camera button.

In that screen shot your camera is in manual mode and that's why you don't have the video option. Switch to auto and you will have the video option. (three dots in the upper right)
Oh lol... Thank you. Any ideas on the emergency alert issues?
Sent from my LGLS992 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Not really, it's been awhile since I got one but if I recall just viewing it made it stop. Have you tried clearing the data/cache of the emergency alert app? or maybe a full system cache cleanup. Stock android recovery can do that. But really no clue if that would help or not.
Ok thanks. I feel kinda dumb now. I'm so used to stock vanilla Android. So ready for root.
