unlock screen leads to black home screen - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

So I've noticed this recently and its starting to get annoying. The phone will be off and then when I press the home button to wake the screen, I'll unlock the screen then I get a black background for a few seconds then my wallpaper shows up. I love the phone but its starting to get annoying. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Is the wallpaper coming from an SD card ?

TF3D launches at startup but have to tap screen to display home screen.

When I boot up after reset or power off, the homescreen displays top task bar, bottom soft keys, and displays "launching TouchFlo3D..." and then... nothing. The screen stays like this until I tap it, and then it displays the home screen. Anybody else seeing this?
Even when just switching it on from a while on standby, I get a black screen.
I press the home or start buttons, and the home screen comes on ...... when it feels like it
I have never got no one to answer a question on here good luck...

Does touching the screen make it start?
I know that not turning off TF3D before installing some cabs can make it behave oddly- TF3D restarts, fails to launch at boot, etc...
Mine does the same thing except its just a plain screen until I touch it then it says launching tflo
Might have something to do with locking the device with a PIN/password. Try to disable that and see if many of your problems go away (switching to home screen on coming out of sleep or turning the screen on when in call and taking the phone away from the ear etc).

It has something to do with the PIN lock code, you're right.. now we just need someone to look into this further who knows how to troubleshoot these issues from the back-end.
Bump for more answers!

so i've tried checking on/off Today/Item/TF3D, tried Flight Mode, and it still won't work. i'm talking like only 30-50% of the time it does work. and I never had PIN1 enabled!
i'm no programmer but it is conflicting with apps we install because TF3D works perfectly when the phone was fresh or hard-resetted. btw i'm using 6.1 Stock T-mobile

[Q] Frozen Screen

My LG Nitro will boot up, but the touch screen is not functioning. The power button turns it on, the lock screen appears, and notifications pop up in the upper corner, but it will not react to any touch.
It happened a couple of times before but a few battery removals did the trick...not any more...
It will not unlock...What do I do?
I searched around and it doesn't seem like anyone else is having this problem. Thanks!
Did you try a factory data reset?

You might have a bad digitizer.

That's not really helping him with his question but screenshot of lock screen is the same Power+Home button. It's working for me.

the very same thing happened to me today. i deleted the main widget lockscreen and tried to re-add it but it wouldn't fix anything,
my solution was to boot into recovery and wipe "cache" and "dalvik cache"
this returned my lockscreen back to normal.

If you just purchased the phone why not simply return
it to tmobile for an exchange, that's what I would do.
Good luck!

Home Screen Gets Stuck

sometimes when I press the home button and my phone exits the app, I get stuck at the home screen. the screen is non-responsive, as are the on screen buttons. I have to press the power button to lock the phone and then unlock it again. Does anyone know about this and does anyone have any recommendations?
That's happened to me before, too. It's like when you exited the app, it went straight to the screen lock - except the screen show the lock screen, nor does it dim.
