Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen,
I've owned my G3 for about 4-5 months now and have run into quite an annoying issue when attempting to unlock my device. anytime I "swipe to unlock" it seems like my device locks up and doesnt register any input from touching the screen. The only work around is to turn the screen off and back on, and sometimes I have to do this 2-3 times before the unlock button in the center has that pulse animation.
I'm running a verizon rooted G3. Please let me know if i need to post any information or screenshots for my device.
I am running xposed framework, busybox, G3 tweakbox, wakelock terminator, unbouce, greenify. not sure if that helps.

Hey guys,
I've been having issues with the Widgetlocker lockscreen recently, and was wondering if any of this will ring a bell with someone.
I recently flashed the KJ2 2.3.5 ROM (the XEU non-wipe Frankenstein one), and i've also flashed CF-Root and then the Speedmod kernel. I'm in the UK, on O2 (debranded to XEU) and i have no issues with the phone whatsoever. I even get great battery life. It's just this damn widgetlocker issue that's grating on me!
For some reason when i wake the phone up and try to unlock it by using the slider (i just use the default 'Android' one for unlocking - the only other things i have are a couple of widgets for missed calls & texts and a battery % one) a lot of the time the slider does not repond to touch. It doesn't always happen, but maybe a good one out of every three times it happens. And the weird part is, if i then just wait about 5 seconds, then it suddenly responds and i can unlock the phone. Obviously having another 5 seconds on top of the already present lag when pressing the home button is not good, and because of this i'm thinking of not using WL anymore.
I've been through all of the settings, i'm almost 100% sure it's not something in there. Can anyone help with this?
Cheers guys.
Happens with me too sometimes. Another issue is if you keep pressing Menu button 4-5 times the phone gets unlocked and takes you to the home screen.
Hey, just wanted to post that i finally figured out what the problem was.
I'm using an .apk to help with the touchscreen sensitivity. See vitalij's thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18999801#post18999801
Well it turns out on 2.3.5 vitalij's .apk has some issues with the most up-to-date superuser. The solution, so far, isn't great but gets the job done, is to uninstall the .apk, and then re-install. The important part is not to click on 'enable service' in the app! So basically each time you want to use the app you have to open it and hit 'apply' on whatever setting you need. The setting will work until you next turn the screen off. For me this workaround is actually ok, as the only time i ever really used it was for the odd game, so i'm happy to just do it manually on these occassions.
disable root helper
madrano, can you expand on what you mean by this? i have tried enabling & disabling root helper but if i remember correctly the problem was still there.
My wife has a Galaxy Note 8.0 and has noted that recently the screen has been freezing on her.
The symptoms that she showed me was after the screen saver kicked in there was no response to get out of the screen saver. This is the default Android screen saver. It appears in such a state the screen does not sense her finger touch. Her Tablet is setup with a password to unlock in such a case and the screen not registering the finger touch would not allow any password entry. She believes this pin/password setup is not related to the problem.
The only recovery method when this non-responsive / freeze occurs (which is fairly frequent) is to hold down the power button and force a restart.
She has the tablet rooted.
Can anyone provide investigate methods and / or a solution to the problem? Possibly apps to provide log files which may log what the problem could be ? Or other approaches as to try as a fix. We checked her settings and did not notice anything untoward.
Many thanks for any or all for suggestions/help.

Ever try the spen to wake it out of screen saver?
You can disable screen saver and reboot, then enable it with no security and see of the tablet wakes and goes into home screen.
Being rooted, you must have installed a developer app or two, or even messed with system files at one time. Rooting usually does not cause problems, what causes them is the root utility or uncertified apps. I only recommend two root utilities, one is saferoot and the other is philz recovery. I have been through a lot of developer roms and utilities, and it was very hard to keep a stable tablet after customizing either factory os or tweaking builds.
If the problem does not clear out after my suggestion then a full wipe with cache format and load stock firmware. If running 4.2.2 do not upgrade ro 4.4.2 and if running 4.4.2 don't downgrade to 4.2.2
My wife currently thinks a 'facebook' app is the culpret
Thanks for the suggestions and I'll keep them in my mind.
My wife went on a large app removal effort, in case one of her apps was causing this problem. Yesterday afternoon she remove 'facebook' app and she has not yet since seen this freeze behaviour. Hence she is thinking the Android facebook app caused the problem . . . although its really too early to say at this time.
She plans to monitor for a re-occurence of the freeze, and if the bad behaviour continues then I'll sit down with her and chat wrt some of your recommendations.
Hi fellas, I'm currently on my favourite ROM (Resurrection remix) from all time. I use fingerprint unlock and when I place my finger, the phone unlocks but screen takes longer to turn on (up to a minute in the worst case)
Yes, you heard me, turn on, the phone is unlocked, gives feedback when touch the screen and responds to input for a while, then stops responding until screen comes up. I have greenify and I can confirm it does not interfere with it
Sometimes in the morning I have to even hold down the power button to reboot in order to stop the alarm
Missed few calls
List of troubleshooting methods I tried
Remove Greenify (absolutely nothing improves, standby drain increase)
Unroot (the same, nothing gets better)
Enabled ambient display (got even worse)
Clean ROM (no apps installed at all, no Google account, still the same issue)
Replaced kernel (installed insigniux and screen does take a little bit less) The eternal wait time barely happens, but is not fixed, Its a 45% fix anyway
All I ask is this is a rom bug and if it there is a workaround
Thanks in advance and have a nice day:fingers-crossed:
Did you try disabling pocket mode ?
Sent from my whyred using XDA Labs
Well I still can try it, I'm gonna see but that does not seem to be the problem
I searched forum for similiar issues but could not found anything(though there are some reddit topics).
When I wake the phone with power button or fingerprint sensor, and try to pull down notification bar, there is a stutter/lag lasts 1-2 seconds. Lets say you pull up for app drawer there is nothing but pull down and there it is.
Also wallpaper seems to affect it a little bit but it might be a placebo effect as it still stutters(light the way wallpaper seems to solve it a little bit.).
It started after Android 10 update and I even tried to clean flashing whole rom but result is same and I do not have any UI altering apps.
It seems like a slow wake up issue and may be playing with sleep frequencies might solve it but I did not root so it is not a option for me.
Is anyone else facing this ? Vanilla or custom roms/kernels ?
Yep, I have the same issue. It's pretty annoying, but I did get it to stop, for me at least it seems the new gesture navigation is causing this because I can't get it to stutter while using the 2 or 3 button navigation methods. I've had this happening since I updated to Android 10 (stable release, not beta) but after a while it just fixed itself, unfortunately my phone ran out of battery yesterday and today after I booted it up it came back to haunt me :/
Alright I got it to stop, disabling both "New notification" and "Double-tap to check phone" did it for me. Hopefully this helps.

I have exactly the same issue on my Pixel 2XL, manage to fix it by disabling Google Feed on the left of the main home screen. Try it let me know if it works.
Update 1: disabling google feed doesn't work. I try to switch back to 3 button navigation and the issue gone.
I do not know how but now it is smooth everytime I try to wake phone and double tap+alwayson display is enabled. Also I tried all wallpapers and it works without any stutter.
Probably monthly updates fixed it, idk.
Running lineageOS 17 on a xiaomi mi 9 lite, loving it, but i made a mistake.
I have my phone rooted and have been messing around with edxposed and magisk and i was trying to see if i could enable some sort of face unlock feature through a mod. found one called hidden settings and i started poking around, and i tried to change the value of this one called "lockscreen.options=enable_facelock" through the terminal, hoping it would enable a face recognition header in the settings somewhere, but instead, it had a very strange effect. first, that string no longer exists in android secure settings on my phone, and second, now my phone will not lock through normal means. using the power button, waiting for timeout, nothing, as soon as i wake the screen, the padlock icon is already open and the screen swipes itself up and goes to my unlocked home screen as though it had recognized my face and unlocked itself...only it didn't, because even trying this with my thumb over the camera has the same result.
anyway, i don't know what to do, but i need my phone to lock. so far the only thing ive tried that works is to use the lockdown mode button in my power menu, but that's a hassle. anyway, any help would be appreciated, my goal is to avoid a factory reset as well.
thanks in advance
Sorry, unofficial lineageOS 17 and magisk and edexposed. That is a highly experimental setup. You should be aware, there you have to start from scratch at some point. Be happy, if it's enough to wipe system and data. Others flash stock ROM to fix things.

actually it was simpler than I thought...turns out nothing was broken at all. in fact one element was functioning better than i expected it to. a while back i was messing around on my previous phone, a rooted oneplus 5 running resurrection remix, and i started fiddling with tasker...anyway, at some point i had issues with the native smart lock features so i set a profile in tasker to unlock the phone when the screen turns on as long as i am connected to my home wifi network. apparently when i restored all my apps to the new phone through my google account it saved a ghost of that profile...i didn't catch it because it wasn't listed in the tasker interface, so i assumed none of my old automations had transferred. i figured it out when other old profiles started to activate, and eventually i remembered that i hadn't set any of that stuff up on this phone yet :victory::laugh:
in any case, thank you for the input...to be honest i would rather have a less experimental setup, but the mi 9 lite doesn't have much development yet so i'm choosing the best from what is available.
