Anyone else getting this? I get it almost every time with Google Now Launcher.
If I have Auto Unlock enabled, and flip the case open, I am presented with all my beautiful big icons over a black wallpaper. Flipping left to google now and back right to the home screen refreshes the wallpaper.
Had to turn off the Auto Unlock feature for the time being. I seem to remember this happening in TW, too. Wondering if anyone else gets this issue?

Every time I flip my phone back over to do something on the call screen, I find the darned thing on the home screen, is there a way to make the home screen a bit less "helpful"?
It also comes up almost every time I turn the phone on.
I have a US TMobile TP2 and I use the simple pin password set to 5 min.
If you get rid of the screen lock with the regedit or cab floating around it will stop defaulting to the home screen.
I don't understand, will that still let the screen lock, but also stop the default home screen problem?
No, it will diable the screen lock, but it will also disable it defaulting to the home screen. Don't know why, but it works.
I have been using s2u2 to lock it instead.
The other day I turn on my phone and was getting ready to unlock my screen when I almost drop it. After I fumble it and look at the screen the camera was turning on an I can't figure out how I did it. Can somebody tell me how I did it? Thanks.

...you swipe the lock screen to the left, starting from the right edge of the screen and moving to the left

Thank you. Lean something new. No telling what else this smart phone does that I don't know. But it's only as smart as it operator.
Swiping from right to left on the logogram brings up the camera app.
This was a feature introduced in Android 4.2, along with Lockscreen widgets.
In case you didn't know this, swipe left to right on your lock screen and you can add widgets to your lock screen such as messaging, calendar, gmail. So you can take a quick glance at your frequently used widgets without even unlocking your phone.
I rooted my phone using option two from this post and everything went great. Only issue I have is that regardless of how I set my wallpaper for home/lock screens, as soon as I unlock the phone, it resets to the default (white feather on blue background) picture. If I change the wallpaper and shut the phone down, it boots with the correct wallpaper. As soon as I unlock it though, it changes. Any ideas? I can't find much on this when I search.
EDIT: It was Clean Master's auto-kill. All good.
2 days ago I started getting a strange lock screen on my S3. I noticed it when my alarm went off in the morning. There was a plain black and blue lock screen. When I swiped past it, my alarm showed up. When I dismissed my alarm, my normal lock screen showed up (complete with the normal unlock pattern dots.)
This new lock screen doesn't show up all the time. Maybe 2-3 times per day. I think, but I'm not sure, that it's being triggered by the phone going to sleep. Turning the screen off and on only triggers the normal lock screen. The new lock screen never overrides the default lock screen - it's just over top of it. Also, it looks like if I disable lock screens altogether in settings, the new lock screen goes away.
I've uninstalled all launchers except Lightning Launcher and TouchWiz. LL's lock screen is a separate app that I do not have. I've uninstalled all lock screen replacements that I know of (I only had Widget Locker). I checked the list of recently updated apps to try to figure out if it's a new "feature", but nothing. I've checked the list of running apps, along with apps that automatically start up on load and I don't see anything strange.
Does anyone know of a way I can determine how to figure out what this is? I'd like to get rid of it.
I'm running StockMod ROM 4.3 (rooted). A screenshot is attached.
Thanks.
Hi!
Does StockMod ROM come with the Active Display feature? Because what you are seeing might some kind of Active Display...

I didn't see Active Display, but I did notice that Dynamic Notifications was enabled. Not sure when or why. I turned it off and I haven't seen anything pop up since. Hopefully that was it.
Thanks for your help!
This is my first post here. I searched but didn't find anything like this. I posted on another site and nobody could help.
Ok so I just got my M8 yesterday and so far love it. However I have found a small issue that really bothers me. For some reason when on the lock screen gestures, if I swype left to go to home screen it always takes me to the screen just to the right of blinkfeed. I have changed my home screen and reset it so that my home screen is in the middle of two panels. (Blinkfeed is two to the rignt). However regardless each time I swype left on lock screen it takes me to the (what was the default) panel where the home screen used to be.
Anybody else experience this or know how to fix?
