Is anyone experiencing this?? I have 'swipe to unlock' but sometimes it doesn't unlock. But the weird thing is when this happens, you can still unlock when you swipe near the bottom of the scree(not shortcut). I can do a restart and it'll be fine again but it's annoying! I actually got a 2nd S4 and returned the first one hoping it's was just that phone. But apparently it's not. So someone else mush have this problem?
Yea it happen to also nd when u reset it. Its fine Samsung messed up with the s4 so much lags n software problems im on my 3rd s4 in 3 weeks got it may 25. There no where it should b laggy or any problems my s3 is faster sometimes. Im getting the htc one tomorrow. And the battery life is terrible with little use only last 10 hours

Are you talking about when you slide over and there is a little lock symbol on the bottom of the screen and that is the only thing you can unlock with?

I'm sure HTC1 is a great phone, but if you're hoping the battery will last longer, I think the 1 will be a bigger disappointment. My S4 has be great with everything other than this little problem. Battery is phenomenal, too!

Normally you can swipe the screen anywhere to unlock. But sometimes I can't no matter how much I swipe the screen. But the weird thing is you can still unlock by swiping near the bottom of the screen(not the lock icon) or by swiping the shortcuts. It's just annoying!

Well, the widgets on the lockscreen block the area from being unlocked. You can only unlock from below them. You might however be able to set it to just a clock (under my device > lockscreen) and that may enable unlocking from the top.

But I don't understand why it happens so randomly. And I don't know what you mean by widgets. Widgets(which are shortcuts right?) are located on the bottom of the screen. And that's the part that's not effected by this as I could still unlock either by opening up a widget or swipe just above it.

Hey guys, on my nexus when im typing anything I turn it to landscape mode for the bigger keyboard and sometimes it takes ages for the screen to follow - sometimes it doesn't do it at all. Anyone else have this prob?
It is slow on purpose.

So that if you are in bed and turn sideways it doesn't just keep switching, and other similar situations.
No guys, I mean REALLY slow, as in 5-10 seconds. Sometimes I have to keep movin it around untill it turns. Today however its really playing up and not turning at all.. haha

I find that actually it's the exact opposite.
When I want it to rotate, I need to wait ages (sometimes tapping the screen while waiting makes it faster).
When I lie in bed, it very often rotates when I don't want it to, and then I wait ages for it to switch back to the previous mode.
That pretty much forces me to disable automatic rotation every time I am in the bed. Whatever they tried to achieve with this, either they failed completely or I am somehow mysteriously missing the point..

Mine has been staying, and being used to the HTC Desire spinning instantly it was a bit strange at first. As regards to the tapping, there are some modes where tapping is what rotates it and it wont until you do.
Same damn concern very annoying

I mean in applications like the stock Browser. I'm not 100% sure, but 99% that it rotates faster if I tap the screen as compared to just waiting.

it's not slow
it's the smooth transition animation (like windows IE)
you will need some 3rd party tweak to disable it

OP is talking about the screen taking awhile to finally rotate when he tilts the phone. He isn't talking about the phone not tilting at all.

Does anyone else's lock screen lag really bad sometimes?
Sometimes it will work fine but sometimes it could lag horribly.
I can slide to unlock and then it will actually slide a second or two later, and the animation when it brings up the home screen is really choppy.
I keep thinking of doing a factory reset to see if it solves it but o don't want to lose everything if it doesn't work.
I'm 100% stock 4.0.4
I will try and get it on video later to show you what I mean when I get home

Got auto screen brightness ON?
Cause when you lock ur screen in full light condition and unlock when in dark light condition (and vice versa), the lag you describe happens.

It's not a deal breaker or anything, but when I unlock my phone after it's been locked for say more than 5 minutes, the weather widget/clock and any folders on my home screen, dissapear for a split second and reload. It's just annoying. If I unlock it and open it quickly, it doesn't, only when phones been locked for a few minutes.
It just basically reloads everything. Anyone else have this, or is there a way to get rid of that??

Hey I was just wondering how good is the LG G3 compared to the Samsung Galaxy S5.. I would like to get a new phone and does are my 2 options.. If there is another phone that is equal good plz let me know.. THX
While I don't mind questions about how good the phone is, it has nothing to do with this thread I'm trying to figure out a problem as to why this screen completely redraws the widgets and folders everytime i unlock it.
Any other thoughts on this?
You have the smart bulletin on?try turning it off and see if there's any improvement. Had theg same issue last time, turning off smart bulletin worked for me.
I've been having issues with touch responsiveness off and on for the last two weeks or so, and I'm wondering if somehow the last security patch could have caused it. Like, I will be typing with the swipe and it will stop halfway through a word and spit out random stuff, or sometimes I have to pull a few times to bring down my notification bar
Everything's ok for me. Are you using a glass protector?
No such issue here either, I don't use a screen protection.

I have noticed something similar. My issues has been like this since I got the phone and upgraded to 8.1. I heard of others also making this complaint after the fist update to 8.1.
For me... When I try to silence a call it will not let me swipe down on the end button. Unlocking can also be a challenge.

I use a pattern and sometimes getting to that can be an issue.
The only problem I've noticed, and I'm not positive this is from the OTA, my Gear S3 stopped vibrating and showing notifications from Android Messages. It was literally the day or the day after I took the OTA. But, who knows. All other SMS apps seem to work fine though.
I still haven't unlocked and rooted mine yet, so I'm hoping by doing so maybe this issue will disappear. Lol at least it doesn't seem to be just me. Though I'm glad to have this issue and not one of the other, worse issues I've heard of people having ?
I'm unlocked with root...
I have screen touch issues. Answering or declining a call is frustrating.
I get it still when I try to swipe away a notification or if i'm pulling down the Notification shade to access the quick toggles, it goes up and i gotta pull it down like 4 times to get it to stay
Yeah I've noticed this as well, have issues answering and rejecting calls and typing on the phone the touch screen responsiveness is off. Hopefully they fix this and the battery drain issue in the March update, because you know we wont get an update before March 5th lol. Also noticed my Gear S3 doesn't receive notifications properly anymore, tried factory resetting the watch and the phone and no resolution unfortunately.
I noticed this both on factory 8.1 image AND on DU RC22 Rom.
Once in a great while, usually when playing a game, I have to tap twice to get a recognized touch, especially near the edges.
Maybe it's just the screen protector, I know I've read some stuff about the screen protector and people rooting and flashing something, but I swear this thing doesn't respond to my touch. I'm on Android p DP 2 and just factory reset it to see if it helps with some app bugs. Just swiped up 7 times before it went up so I could type my pin in, this has been an issue with this particular device.

I have noticed this sometimes as well on DP2. I have a fingerprint setup but my phone is usually lying on my desk so i swipe up and enter the pattern. Sometimes it just refuses to swipe up and stay there.. its sort of bounces back down. I have to pick up the phone and use the fingerprint scanner.
They lock screen swipe issue was fixed for me recently on a security update but on dp2 sometimes it's worst then it ever was before the fix.
Just tap the lock, no need to swipe
Ah never noticed that. If you have the fingerprint enabled, tap the fingerprint icon.

Are they not allowed to test and provide feedback? Why does it bother you?
Anyways, to be fair, I've been experiencing this issue off and on ever since I purchased the phone. And no, I'm not running beta firmware.
Why does it bother you if I comment?
If you're running a version of Android that hasn't been officially released yet then there is always going to be issues. That's pretty obvious frankly.
The lockscreen swiping is definitely an issue with the Pixel 2 XL. I always had this issue on Oreo but on P DP2 it's gone. It's interesting how it's the opposite for others in this thread.
Even on Oreo, it's hit or miss.
Swiping away notifications almost always takes at least 2-3 tries.
Super annoying for a phone this expensive.
