Per the title, occasionally, my lock screen wallpaper simply disappears to leave a black background. On one occasion the pic reappeared on its own but normally it takes a restart to rectify. My phone is not rooted. Any ideas on this ?
same issue here.
Is the pic located on your phone memory or SD card? Are you using a lock screen app or stock lock screen? Aftermarket launcher?
Using stock lock screen. Ive had this happen with pics on device and on SD card
Refreshing thread. I could not find any info around and currently experiencing same issue on:
NOTE 4, stock ROM, stock lock screen, KitKat 4.4.4, Nova launcher, pic. both on SD and device. Lock screen pic. disappear randomly turning into black. Lock screen settings:

Settings applied via Tasker. Worked well on NOTE 3, KK 4.4.4.
So far tried:
- Clearing gallery cache - does not work

- Restarting the device - works for some time until it goes black again...

i've recently rooted my samsung galaxy s3 for rogers via xda. root went fine. i downloaded go launcher and presently have the ui 3.0 theme downloaded. everything is fine except for my lock screen. i have set my own picture as i did before i started using go launcher but it will not change. i have tried switching it to swipe, pattern, pin etc.. will not even show up.. picture will not change. the theme lock screen keeps appearing and i hate it. can anyone help with this??
I keep seeing my lockscreen wallpaper image for a split second when I follow links from the notifications list.
It's intermittent but often enough that it's starting to bug me. Sometimes the screen flashes to the main screen, then the lock screen, then the app. This occurs regardless of what background image I use, where it's stored and whether I have No Lock installed or active.
I'm rooted running bone stock ATT 4.1.1 ROM. I removed Wallpaper Wizardrii just in case. I also found an old thread that mentioned resetting after selecting lockscreen wallpaper, that didn't work - nor did tinkering with developer options (screen updates and strict mode). Both of those are off.
Any help would be much appreciated! I see several threads about this, but nothing seems to resolve it that I've seen suggested.
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...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2450697
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!
I've tried all the 5.1 ROMs and seem to have the same issue with every one. I set up the phone, make backups etc and all works smoothly.
Then for no reason I'm getting random reboot. When the phone wakes there is no lock screen, just my notification bar and a black screen. Pulldown shows notifications, buttons etc. Power button shows reboot menu etc but the rest of the screen is black with no function.
I tried to narrow it down by trying different agni settings, running stock kernels, now trying different launcher as its always been on Nova.
There is no pattern to when it will go so getting a logcat isn't easy.
Any help or pointers, or anyone else had the same issue and fixed it.

When I updated my Pixel 2 XL to the official Android Pie update I noticed that when I choose the "dark" device theme and then I choose a live wallpaper, when i reboot my phone the initial lock screen pops up with a blank screen (only the live wallpaper shows, with no time, no nav bar fingerprint icon, no status bar info). If i have a pending notification before i reboot the phone then it will boot up and the notification will negate the blank lock screen glitch. If i then choose a "light" theme and choose any live wallpaper then it boots up with the normal lock screen. Also, when I choose any other non-live wallpaper with the "dark" theme enabled then it will boot up with the normal lock screen as well. With the blank lock screen touch is disabled on the blank screen, however, if I access the notification shade then it will negate the glitch and pop up all the normal lock screen info. Also, with the blank lock screen, the power button and volume rocker pops up all the appropriate info and they are touch accessible. Ive tried factory resetting the phone, flashing the old Android Oreo image and updated to Pie via OTA and the issue still persists. Does anyone else have this issue? Does anyone know what app governs the device theme? Any suggestions on how to fix this? thanks
I had the same problem this morning. I changed to one of the stock live wallpapers last night and when I powered on my phone it would boot and where I was expecting to enter my PIN the screen was just black and could not get any response. I could hold the power button and the power options would pop up. I left it alone for my 30 minute drive to work and I was finally able to unlock the phone. I switched back to my stock solid color (black) wallpaper and the problems seem to have stopped.
Same here with the live Earth wallpaper. If I touch the fingerprint sensor it shows the unlock pattern UI which let's me unlock it successfully.
