Hi there, i want to know if more ppl have this problem. Sometimes when i press the power button the device does not go into locking state, screen turns off but the screen off sound is missing. Also when i press power/home to wake the device it does not display the lockscreen. I thought i had a bad product so i swapped it with warranty and now my 2nd device also has this problem. I think its a fail in the exynos..... switching kernels didnt work either.

The only time I've ever had this issue is if I install the 23 toggles mod and try toggling the lock screen from there. It's never happened on the stock rom.

I've had the phone for two days now and this has happened 3 times now.
The worst one was I got a phone call but the keyboard was up and the back button wasn't there to get rid of it. So I couldn't answer the phone.
One time I couldn't exit the settings menu because the buttons disappeared.
To remedy I turn off the display, turn it back on and unlock to the camera. I think because the camera has the special hidden buttons it causes the phone to refresh the button display otherwise I couldn't find another way to do it.
Has this happened to others? I haven't seen threads about it.

I lost them once but got them back by turning the phone sideways and then back upright once the buttons reappeared.

Oh wow, yea, that would probably work too. But some apps lock to portrait (dialer).

Happened to me while I was playing a game (Reckless Gateway) and received a call at the same time. After the call, soft buttons wouldn't appear anymore, had to restart my phone
I have only lost the buttons when flashing a mod that was not compatible...in that situation I did not have the virtual buttons or the notification bar at all.
Never happened to me on stock or rom. What build/android is your phone? You can find info in settings>about phone

This has happened to me a couple times while using Google Nav. I just pulled down the notification bar and hit the settings button - that seemed to bring the buttons back. Strange issue.
Just a few kinks that need ironing out.. hopefully Google is aware of minor bugs like this already

Yep, exactly. Though I wouldn't call this minor because it made me miss a call.
Another thing I just noticed. Go into an app that has the menu virtual button (the three dots) then turn off the screen. Turn it back on and the menu button will be the only virtual button on the Lock Screen. You can press it and automatically unlock the phone. I'm using slide to unlock and the news and weather app to do this every time.
Edit: Just tried with a different lock (pattern) and the menu button will not unlock. But it is still there and you can press it. It just does nothing. Weird.
Sometimes when I use the power button to unlock the screen saver, the pattern lock screen is off center. It's so far off center I can't enter the pattern to unlock the phone. I have to press the power button twice to get a new pattern lock screen that is centered.
I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this with their phone. I've got Executive Assistant running under the lock screen.
happened to me a couple of time so I stopped using pattern unlock screen. Once it got to the point where it stuck there permanently until I rebooted the phone
Happened to me a lot after removing the phone from car dock mode. Usually had to reboot, hasn't happened at all since switching to CM10 nightlies.
happens to my wife and me many times. we just do what you said.
Im guessing its a known issue because it happens to me and a lot of people I know.

Happens to me too. The fix is simple though:
1) Press the Emergency Call button. It should still be in place
2) When you see the number pad, turn the phone to horizontal view so that the number pad moves.
3) Press "back", the lock pattern will be horizontal for a second and then it'll flip back to its correct place!
I also had this happen many times. I turned off the lock function.
Is this on stock?

It was in my case.
I updated to ma7 from ljc I believe. I remained stock since I bought the phone. On the new update, at times after pressing the power button to lock my phone, now when I press the power or home button it goes straight past the lock screen and into my phone. A reboot fixed the issue and it seems to happen randomly. Is there a setting to make sure it always goes to my lock screen first?

Have an DInc2 with a broken power button (doesn't work/respond, but phone will turn on when receiving a phone call) and phone is out of warranty. Are there any alternatives to powering on the device such as a USB wake command (this phone is non-rooted) or any other suggestions?
You can get a new button on Ebay. I have not done it but have read about others successfully repairing the power button.

You can root it and get button replacement like saviour
You might be able to set volume wake up though I'm assuming you're stock and I haven't used that since I got the phone
Easy wake is what you'd want to enable widget locker has an option for it and so do some roms
Also you can set widget locker to lock on search long preas
Theoretically there are other options like external hardware
Button replacement is a good idea if it won't respond at all otherwise once you turn it off it becomes a paperweight

I Don't know what happen honestly.... AnyBody Help? :angel:
It seems there could be a combination of keys/gestures that can turn the capacitive keys off.. But nobody yet has been able to figure our either the lock or unlock combination
I guess your only option is to flash back to stock
