I have been been having the screen lock delay problem since 4.3 all the way to 4.4.4. Dies anyone have a fix for this I figured out get might have resolved thus in 4.4.4 but still nothing is fixed. Its annoying to the point of making screen lock, face unlock and even swipe useless unless you want towait 15 plus seconds to do anything .

((Solved))
Talked to Sony ... no help, was just about to give up and found the solution and its easy. Go to security, and uncheck allow widgets on lock screen. Thats it there is no black screen, and display is immediate. Hope this helps others.

I've noticed that sometimes when I unlock my device I have a black screen with only the "multi-task" button and the status bar visible. It will stay like this until I "lock" the phone and unlock it again. Touching the "multi-task" button makes the rest of the buttons appear but touching them still doesn't make the screen respond. I have noticed this on both stock and custom rom. Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas on a fix or cause?
I am using the Virgin/Bell Canada GSM version.
Thanks
ps. I've posted a pic to give people an idea of what I'm getting....as it may seem unclear in my explanation.
At first this sounded similar to a problem I had.. I installed Wave Launcher, which for some reason did not play well with my phone. I would unlock the screen and the screen would immediately go black as if it had shut off, but I could still push buttons and receive haptic feedback. I had to have someone call me and delete the app while I was in the call.. it sounds kind of similar but not really.. my first guess would be some sort of problem with an app being incompatible.

I wanted to pass this on...I was reading in the Team Kang rom that there is a "bugfix version: app navigation menu icons no longer disappear after unlocking phone". So I hope this is what relates to my problem and has been "fixed"!
I did a quick search but didn't find anything on this. For whatever reason, whenever I switch apps from the drop down notification menu, it forces me to input my lock screen pattern, even when I have the lock screen toggled off. I have my settings set to auto lock after 1 min, but this happens whenever I switch apps, even before a minute has passed.
Is this a known issue? Is this happening to anybody else? Is there a fix?
Thanks.
Edit: I'm still on 4.02. It hasn't updated to .04 yet.
No one?
:T
Has this always been happening or did you install/flash something before it started happening?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
I just got my GN yesterday, and it updated by itself to 4.02.
It's been happening ever since I turned on the lock screen. It goes away when the lock screen is turned off. But it's bizarre that it would ask for the lock pattern every time I switch apps from the notification drop down. It doesn't ask for the pattern if I were to switch apps with the App Switcher button.
Really perplexing...
Hate to keep bumping this, but this is just incredibly bizarre.
Can someone test on their GN if the same happens? Turn on a lock screen input, anyone will do. I happen to have the pattern lock. And try to switch between apps or alerts from the pull down notification menu (you can send yourself an email or something, or turn on the music player) and see if you are forced to put in your pattern/passcode/etc before you can switch over.
I have to put in my pattern to unlock the phone every single time I switch apps ONLY from the pull down menu. It's bizarre. If I switch apps from the App Menu, it doesn't do this.
I don't know what's going on. Is this a "feature" of ICS? Seems a bit overkill on security. Or do I actually have a faulty phone (but it seems software related?).
Any help would be great. If need be, I'll make a video to demonstrate what I'm talking about.
I had this problem on CyanogenMod. Change the lock screen to what you want, and then reboot. It should be fixed. If you don't do a reboot for some reason it gets confused.
Yes happens to me sometimes too on both 4.02 and 4.04 stock. I don't use a pattern lock but it just fades out and when I turn screen back on it's lockscreen.
Never had this problem. That is weird. I suggest flashing a stock image and see if it still happens. Make a nandroid first of course but throw it away and make a new nandroid if problem goes away.
bow chicka wow wow.

I will try this. Thanks for the suggestion. Hopefully it will work. Will update.

Yes, this solved it. Thank you! Oh, Ice Cream Sandwich.
I spoke too soon. It's back. I noticed when I toggle the lock screen off, the problem exists. But if I toggle the lock screen on, the problem goes away.
So it may be an issue with the widget itself. I'm using "No Lock" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jraf.android.nolock&hl=en)
I'm gonna test other toggle widgets to see if it's app related.

So.. it's a third party app you're using and not the stock ics lockscreen..
It would've been wise if you told us that on the first post

Yes that would have been good info to have, but I am not running anything custom on my lock screen (though I am on CM) and had this same problem.
I had to reboot the phone after every time I changed the lock screen from anything to anything or I'd run into problems. When changing from no lock screen to a lock screen, I would lose notifications when waking the screen up if the notification was for the last app open.
For example, I was in the Messaging app and locked the screen, without going to the home screen first (so if I were to unlock the app would be right there). Then I received a text and notification worked. I pressed the button to wake the phone and the lock screen showed up (pattern unlock) and the notification for my new text message in the notification bar disappeared. But I hadn't even unlocked so I could get to the app yet...
As a user of sense for a very long time, there is a major difference between the lock screen abilities I had, and I need now. Before with sense I, due to company police have to use a pin to unlock, but I can set the exchange lock to 30 mins and it won't affect me being able to use the phone in short intervals. However with sense it would still have the slide unlock present even when it wouldn't force me to actually lock the phone for 30 mins. Is there a way to get this on the aosp lock screen or am I just sol? If any of this needs further clarification just say so. I'm terrible with explaining things.

More or less I want two lock screens. I want to be able to unlock my phone via "slide" and I want that it to always be that way. Then after 30 min of being locked I want it to prompt me for my PIN. (exchange policy)
Is this possible?
I was wondering if someone might have an answer for me on the stock lockscreen. I've been using magic locker and it sucks. I just want a "slide lock" then after 30 mins a "pin lock" behind it. I have searched, and went over the settings up and down, and I can't figure it out.
PS, I'm on rascbeanjelly
AFAIK, you can't have two types of lock screen at once, you can however delay the PIN lock, but no lock screen wouldn't show up, no slide to unlcok or whatever, basically your phone will be insecure until a predefined set of time, then the PIN lock screen kick in.
You might have more luck with a custom lock screen, I never tried any of them though so I can't guarantee there's even a lock screen replacement that does that.
Sense had it, so I was hoping it was a built in android thing, not just a "sense" item. Yeah, I have been using something, but the bottom bar still shows, and half the time I open straight to google now. That's why I hate these "3rd" party solutions. I was hoping there was a setting(or hack) I was missing. Obvoiusly I don't want to go back to HTC because of their inability, unwillingness to update their software at all, much less in a reasonable fashion. My rezound is still stuck on ICS, so it's not worth dealing with.
Yeah, you just have to live with it I suppose.
It's one of those thing you never thought you'd miss until you lost it, I have the same experience coming from a custom OEM skin, but in my case it was TouchWiz. If only custom skin wasn't so intrusive...
I am running the stock ROM, only rooted.
Sometimes when I try to unlock my phone, it acts as if I'm not even trying to unlock it in the sense that it doesn't even respond when I drag my finger across the screen. The only way to unlock it when this happens is to touch and drag an icon and unlock the screen that way (IE - open an app from the lock screen). I can then re-lock the screen and it will behave the same way again by not unlocking as if I'm not even touching the screen. The only way I have found to solve this where the lock screen reacts normally again is to reboot the phone.
The strange part about this is that in the developer options I enabled the show touches option thinking the digitizer just wasn't responding for some reason, yet I can see that touching the screen IS in fact working because it sees all the touch inputs. It just won't unlock. I can press the back arrow so it highlights the box I'm supposed to unlock inside and it still doesn't work. I just don't get it. It has done this since new as far as I can remember.
Anyone else?

I've got a similar issue, except mine is intermittent. Twice I've had the lock screen freeze on me. The only way to unlock it was to pull down my notification screen, set up a pattern for unlock, and then use that. Then I switched it back to swipe to unlock and it worked fine. I'm watching it carefully. If it starts happening more often, I'm going to request a warranty replacement.
Well, mine is intermittent as well. It doesn't happen every time by any means, just sometimes. As I said, I can pull it out of my pocket every once in a while and it does it. Do you have icons to launch apps from the lock screen? You should try that and see if it unlocks for you like it does for me.
I'm having the same issue. What ROM are you guys on?
This is still occurring and very annoying. I just got a second S4 as a work phone and it has not had this issue yet. As I said, it happened with the stock ROM, but currently I am using THIS rom. Happened again twice today.
Yea that happened to me to but since I rooted it and installed wicked v5 it's never done it again

This has to be an issue with the T-Mobile ROM, I am surprised I haven't seen other posts about it. I wonder if it's because most people have some kind of security on them and I only have the swipe to unlock with no effect? In any case, my work Verizon S4 has yet to do this, whereas my T-Mobile S4 does it at least once every couple of days.
The same thing happens to me as well. I got really frustrated, so instead to swipe to unlock I now have pattern.

So, I have a G4 for about 3 months and lately I have noticed a bug of shorts. I recently started using pattern as my default unlock method and I notice sometimes (once a day or less) that when I unlock the phone everything is unresponsive, and I mean everything. It's like its frozen. If I press the power button and unlock again everything is functional like it never happened. Anyone has any idea why it's happening? When I didn't have a lock screen I had never seen this happen so I am guessing it has to do something with the lock screen. If so, if someone has any idea how to fix this it would be appreciated. It's not like its a major issue however it is kind of embarrassing for such a high end smartphone to have problems like this one. Now that I think about there was one time that this happened while sending an instant message by facebook messenger but I don't think it is related. Maybe the app did mess the system there somehow.
I know this post is old, but I have the exact same issue on my LG G4 Verizon. Upon unlocking with the pattern, every so often the screen is unresponsive. I can still change the volume with the buttons and the slider pops up to display the change like normal. I too have to re-lock and unlock the phone to get it to be responsive again.
