lock screen going from vertical to horizontal - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

My lock screen on my S4 will put the pattern on one half of the screen and the clock on the other half, but not up and down! Has anyone else had this problem or a fix? It fixes itself sometimes and then will go back to it randomly.

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.

unlock screen leads to black home screen

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 ?

[Q] Unlocking to Homescreen

I'm not rooted...yet. But the problem that I am encountering is everytime I wake up my phone and unlock it, it goes to the last screen I was on or app. Its a minor problem but is there anyway to set it to always awake up to my primary homescreen. I'm on Nova Launcher if that helps.
Do you have any other apps that have anything to do with the lockscreen?
Do you go to the last screen if you wake the phone by pressing the home button and then unlocking?
The reason I ask is that if I have no lock screen and I wake the my Note II by pressing the home button I go directly home. If I wake the phone with the power button I go to the last app I was using.
This does not happen however if I have the lock screen enabled. I am then always taken to the last app. Never the home page.
Update 20130201
Since updating to 4.1.2 the home button now behaves how I want it to. It takes me to the last app or screen that was open. It does this even if i do not use a lockscreen

Nope I recently got this phone, the only major would be the Nova launcher.
Yes regardless if I used the power or home button, if I was looking at my settings it will unlock to that. I've even tried removing the lockscreen and I still have the same issue.
my only suggestion is to look for a lock screen replacement app that lets you choose any application to start whith the right "swipe"...then assign the launcher to one of the icons...I know that Apex has a widget that will "launch" it - i.e. take it to the home screen! Now all you have to do is invoke that kind of a thing in the same way you can go into messaging or email from the lockscreen...
I know for a fact that widgetlocker has an option to unlock to the last page or app you were on or unlock straight to your home screen.

[Q] HELP! Lock Screen BUGG

HELP PLEASE SOMEONE! :crying::crying:
My ROGERS Samsung Galaxy SIII LTE SGH-i747M running Jelly Bean 4.1.1 has a lock screen bug! I have been googling around the web, but still couldnt find anyone with the bug I am having right now, so i am asking for someone to plz help me out here! The bug just started today, my phone is set to "Swipe" mode on the lock screen, so usually I would just need to swipe my screen to unlock my phone, but today, when i press my power button OR home button, my phone turned on, and showed my lock screen for 1 second, and it unlocked by itself. I didnt have to swipe or anything, all i did was pressed my power button OR home button, and it unlocked by itself. I know this is just a minor problem, but it is so annoying! I am sorry if i dont make any sense, because its hard to explain the situation I am having, but plzzz someone help me out here!

Goto settings >security and check what they are set at under lock screen. Less security than swipe is none, which means once it wakes up you are on the home screen.

But the problem i am having is that, mine is set at "Swipe", and before the bug happened, i can swipe my screen and unlock, but now, all i have to do is just turn on the screen with power or home button and my lock screen wall paper will show up and then half a second after, it will unlock to my home screen by itself, and it wont let me swipe.
The above bug happens to me sometimes. I then switched to using a pattern on my lock screen.
If I leave the phone unattended sometimes for a few hours, when I "wake" it, it reverts to a "swipe" to unlock instead of my pattern of password that was set. My phone is stock 4.1.1 and not rooted.

CM11 issue freezing at lock screen when gpad is powered on

I have cm11 and if i power on the tablet and let it a couple of minutes it is freezed at the lock screen. I cant unlock it by swiping the screen and i cant press on the clock widget. If i press the power button it turns on or off the lock screen but i can still do nothing. Only way to restore it is to keep pressed the power button to hard reset the tab. It boots normally then if i unlock the screen and dont let it auto lock. Is anybody else experiencing this issue? It gets really annoying. Could it be the nova launcher because i cant remember this happening before installing it.

Your guess seems to be on the money. Stay away from all those launchers.

yep, i disabled the option from nova settings to autolock the desktop and that seemed to fix it. This option prevents any changes to desktop and it looks like that it conflicted with cm11
