Sorry if this question doesn't belong here.
I'm now running CM 10.1.3 Stable Release on my S4, but I'm having trouble with the lock screen. Maybe I'm just not understanding how it's supposed to work.
I have the lock screen set for 10 minutes after sleep, but it never does that. It locks immediately after the screen goes dark. Am I missing something, or is it just broken? In the stock ROM, pressing Home wakes up the phone, but the lock screen doesn't appear until the set time has elapsed. This is how I thought the CM lock screen would work too.

first i thought it was launcher pro's fault, but after changing launcher and rom release i'm pretty sure it's something else i haven't tracked down yet.
just after a reboot phone works as usual: screen lock runs after 30 seconds or by clicking the power button
after a while (days or even hours sometimes), the screen lock does not kick-in anymore: the screen just turns off and when you press the power button the phone is already unlocked.
i noticed that when the phone is in this "lock-bug" mode the notification led constantly shows a faint red light (you can barely notice it in the dark because it's really faint).
tested with:
launcher pro
go launcher
factory rom 2.21
blurless 2.34
I used to have the faint red light on after flashing a new rom.
It disapeared after I changed display setting to not automatic brightness.
It seems that the faint red light is the light sensor.
But I know nothing about your screen lock problem.
I have run into the same thing. I have not yet noticed the light, but I've had the screen lock stop working on my phone twice (I bought 3 phones 5 days ago for work). Like you, a simple reboot fixed the problem. I also tried toggling screen lock in the settings, and setting up a lock code, to see if the screen lock would start up. Both of my times, the first I noticed the issue was when I received a phone call and didn't have to swipe to answer, but that could have just been coincidence.
It isn't really a big deal for me or the employees, but it is a nuisance.
Happened to me as well, twice. First time it was just annoying that I had to reboot, second time it drained the s**t out of my battery in three hours.
So it's a bug allright.

same here.. it just stops working.. any fixes yet?
Why is this happening? Every minute or so, the screen comes on. I am running Syndicate 1.1.0.
To stop it from happening, I go into Settings and change the screen lock method from PIN to Pattern or vice versa. Changing that setting stops the screen from turning itself on for about 12 hours; then the problem starts again.
I've tried reflashing the ROM but that didn't fix it.
Any suggestions?
Hi,
I don't know what's going on with the screen of my one-v...
well I press lock button, so screen goes dark, but after a while it lights up for few seconds showing me lock screen... then it goes dark, and after few second it does it again.
after 2 times it stops, but it is annoying when you put phone on the desk, that it glows so you start to think about coming call or text.
what's going on?
lolsss..
haunted maybe

haha well hopefully not
I thought at beginning that it could be caused because of apz running in background but I have double checked - there are not any

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
have you tried factory resetting?
Are you using an app like Keep Screen?
My friend had a similar problem when she used the Keep Screen app.
Have you received an update?
Try using another locker like GO Locker or Magic Locker. Inform if it happens again.
strange thing, but it magically stopped happening
That may due to your brightness settings which is set to "Automatic" by default.
well it was too early for me to say that problem is gone... it happens again today ;/
I have fixed level of brightness, no apps except battery life working in background... all newest updates installed.
any ideas?
Hi
I tried to change the timeout of my scrren but what ever I chose, nothing worked ; the screen stays on.
When I am in front of it, no big deal, I close the cover and it closes the screen but in this situation, if i have a reminder that switches the screen on, it stays on forever
Could you help me ?
I tried wakelock but i did not see anything particular and, in any case, I am not sure I know how to read it correctly but I assume that is not that difficult
Thanks for your help
I normally use an app called Glimpse, but sadly it seems to have no effect on Miui when it comes to showing notifications on the lock screen.
So I am using the built in screen on function in Miui 10, it works well all except for me not been able to extend the light on time from the default 8 seconds to something more like 30 seconds.....basically to give me enough to notice the screen has lit up and to be able to have a peek at the screen before the screen goes off again.
