I've recently bought the 4g touch and installed the starburst rom and I've found that if I have any kind of security setup (pin, password) that none of the lockscreens seem to be enabled. As soon as I wake the phone up it throws me straight into the pin/password screen. Has anyone else ran into this type of issue before and have a fix? Any help would be appreciated because I'm at a loss for solution and even google isn't helping me unfortunately.

I am not sure if this is how it is supposed to function or not, but I can confirm that this is the same behavior I experience. If you select "None", then the pin lock doesn't even come up. I have to select sgs2 and it will then show my lock screen... but yeah, if you select anything else with a lock setup it does not show that lockmod. -Grand
this is the expected behavior. otherwise you'd have to unlock the phone twice everytime once for the pin then once for the normal lockscreen.
i've never used a pin on any of my phones is the dual unlock normal/what you were expecting ?

My previous two phones, HTC Hero and Evo 4g both had the lockscreen show up, swipe to unlock, and the pass/pin screen show up. I suppose I figured that was default behavior for most phones. To me it makes the most sense to me to have the lockscreen, swipe to unlock, then show pin/pass screen since it would allow flexibility of music controls/phone/sound without having to log into the phone and provide some basic security.
Stock Telus SGH-I747M, Android 4.1.1. Everything worked fine until yesterday, did not install anything which could have caused this problem.
When I set my lock screen options (I had a password set before, but I've tried with every option), it will work the first time I turn the screen off. But as soon as I unlock the phone, the lock screen reverts to "swipe". I've also noticed that the "Lock automatically" option now only displays "immediately" and doesn't give the timeout options it used to.
Has anyone else experienced this or have any idea how to fix it?
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.

Hello,
My Galaxy Note 2 has been doing something strange the last few days.
The swipe to unlock screen comes on in addition to any other locking screen lock mode (pattern, pin). Even if I disable "With swipe lock" under settings/Lock Screen.
The swipe screen also ignores any settings under "Lock screen options" and always comes up with the default shortcuts and camera. Which means anyone can get to my email, browser or camera without unlocking the phone.
This seems like a bug. Anyone else encountered this?

i had similar problem... the lockscreen image used to flash often.... on my stock rom...
anyways.... its not happening now on JoelDroid N2 V3
It turned out to be some stupid Homebase app that installed itself along with another app. I'm not sure which app was the offender since I uninstalled a bunch at and haven't reinstalled them all yet to figure out which one it was.
I have no idea what I would have done to cause this but I seem to have lost the option to customize my lock screen shortcuts from the lock screen settings menu. I know I had the option even earlier today but now it's just gone. I've been running SkyDragon 0.0.5 for weeks now and I can't think of anything else I would've changed that would have made the option disappear. I should probably also mention that I'm running Xposed with the lock screen disabler module but I've also been running that for quite a while. I can still see the lock screen shortcuts that I had previously set up, but now I can't change them.
Anyone have any ideas?
