[Q] Q: strange behavior after kitkat; on touch another program opens - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have a strange kitkat problem, now the sound bug is fixed, but when I push or touch an icon on desktop, another program opens, and after a few seconds the program that was meant to open starts...
Any idea how to fix this? I don't want to do a factory reset or something similar...

Try a hard reset (red button next to sim card tray)
Are you rooted, or have you flashed anything?

Hard reset is factory reset, right?
So backup first? Is titanium still the best?

No the hard reset option needs no back up, just press on the red button as i said, sometimes fixes strange bugs, sometimes doesnt? But wont delete anything

Soft Keys

I turned on my inc2 this morning, and I noticed my soft keys were gone. On this phone, there is no outline of them, so I'm just having to guess where they are. Does anyone know how I can solve this problem?

Try restarting the phone. Or do a soft reset

sounds like it's a hardware issue, I would send for a replacement, or bring it to Verizon.
I mean besides flashing a known ROM with working lights I don't know what you mean by "fix" you can do.. and If you aren't rooted.. def bring it to Verizon..
Yeah just take it to Verizon. It's your best bet

[Q] Where did my lockscreen go?!

When I was using my phone today, I noticed that a long press on the power button was shutting down the phone instead of bringing up the menu. Then, I realized that I had also lost my lock screen, which I really hadn't noticed because I don't use the pattern lock. Turns out, even if I enabled the pattern lock, password, or PIN, using the power button still took the phone straight into the home screen.
I don't know if it was an bug in a random app, malware, or what... I spent a lot of time searching for an answer on what might have caused it, but didn't find anything really helpful. I started deleting all my recent apps, but couldn't get the lock screen back, so I ended up restoring the phone to factory settings and starting from scratch.
The only reason I'm posting about it is that I'm not entirely sure what caused it... I'm debating the possibility that it could it could be a touchwiz bug. Anyone else ever run into this?

Yes, its a known bug. I just ran into the bug today and I refuse to do a factory reset to fix the issue since its just gonna happen again. Samsung should be able to fix it with a simple software update.

No, so far the only way known to temporarily fix the issue is to do a master reset.

Ah, that would explain it... I was tearing out my hair trying to figure out what I had done. Funny thing is, I don't even *like* having a lock screen. I was just bothered by the fact something was wrong...
How did you find out that it's a known bug? I must have been phrasing my search poorly, because I couldn't find squat about the issue.
Still, whether I like the screen lock or not, I think this is a pretty decent security bug, considering it removes the ability to lock the phone...

I know because I seen it under "list of known issues". If you scroll down a few post you'll find it. The downside to not having a lockscreen is that if you receive a text message your phone will automatically unlock and you may accidentally dial someone if the phone is in your pocket.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WITH THE LOCKSCREEN ISSUE I ADVISE USING A 3RD PARTY LOCKSCREEN. I AM CURRENTLY USING "AGILE LOCKSCREEN" (WHICH CAN BE FOUND IN THE ANDROID MARKET). I AM USING THE PRO VERSION, BUT THE FREE ONE WILL DO THE JOB ALSO.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Mine's gone too.... Now that we have root I've a nandroid backup which I believe still had the lockscreen and will try restoring from that. If that doesn't work then I guess I'll do a master reset and restore from Titanium Backup. Hopefully Clockwork Recovery will survive the master reset...
I thought that was just me yesterday so I did a master reset

I was thinking the complete opposite. I installed ripple lock and that's when i started having the problem. Uninstalling didn't help. As soon as i uninstalled and a factory reset, haven't had any issues since.
Maybe just coincidence

No, its definitely a software bug. I don't advise doing a master reset because the issue will continue to happen.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
For people having issues of making calls/etc. when the screen unlocks:
Just put the phone in your pocket with the screen facing AWAY from your body.
I had this happen immediately after using the *#0*# test screen, I'm blaming that

this sounds like a bug
it shouldn't need that, as in the lock screen shouldn't even dissapear
i'll suggest everyone experiencing this bug to report it directly to samsung, so they can fix it

[Q] strange reset

hi i am on 2.3.4 (58), rooted and supercharged, and something strange happened. My phone reset itself. After the reset, I found I only had two options on the power menu, power off and snapshot, compared to the normal 4 options. Also, the home(middle) button doesn't have any effect. One more thing I have noticed is the the lock screen doesn't show up either. After this unprompted reset, the crappy bloatware was back on my phone. Has this happened to anyone before? I have tried both hard and soft resets of the phone, but it hasn't made a difference. I will try using seus but was wondering anyone else seen this?

No lockscreen or power button options

I just got my T-Mobile Galaxy S II replaced today and when i turned it on for the first time, i noticed that it had no lockscreen, and no power button options. Instead, when u click the power button, it just shuts off the phone without warning. I am unrooted, nor have i ever been rooted on this phone. However i did take the SD card from my old rooted phone and put it in this one.. So maybe the rooted files have something to do with it. Im still not sure. If anyone has an answer it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
If you do a master reset without the SD card present in the device (keep it out of the device), do you still experience the issue?
Umm i will try that. But i have to backup everything first. Ill get back to you later on that
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
i have seen this happen on an SII when the efs folder gets deleted from the root directory.
the phone you got as a replacement must have been used before and the original owner had removed this folder.
it contains "as far as i've read" very important files that the phone needs and for some reason are not replaced even after a factory reset.
get another one if you can
Dang, this is my second replacement! I guess its onto the third.. Thanks though!

This may sound dumb but go into recovery and clear the system cache it usually fixes bugs like this where settings don't stick. Likewise you could also do a hard reset.

That's weird, that's usually what fixes things that don't stick for me. You could try using tweaks box with a 3rd party clock app if you are rooted and there isn't an easier way.
