5.1.1 lock screen issues - Sprint Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After updating to 5.1.1 I am having issues with the lock screen. If i press a button to wake it is slow to respond. It almost looks like the lock screen crashes. Sometimes the lock screen is unresponsive after a finger swipe. I am unrooted on the stock firmware. I have made no modifications to my phone. Any help would be appreciated.

Same thing happened to me until I took off security lock (password,pin,fingerprint)

I like having the fingerprint scanner or other security settings. Did you ever try a factory reset? I'm also noticing that the phone will get laggy, and also the drop down menu is slow. Any ideas?

I downloaded the 5.1.1 again from Kies and also performed a factory reset and that seemed to have fixed the issue. I will report back if issues arise again.

I tried reseting but the problems eventually came back a few hours later. My GF's note 4 has the same issue with the laggy pull down menu and the laggy lock screen crashing. I was able to get to home as it crashed and there was an error message that Touchwiz crashed. There's a MAJOR bug in Touchwiz after the update.

My lock screen crashed again but this time the finger print scanner stopped working and backup password option shows up but doesnt recognize anything. had to factory reset. I think its a bug with the launcher and finger print scanner. I now have pin password on lock screen and noticed less lag on lock screen. definitely turn off finger print if you have it on.

Similar problems as reported here. Navigator flashes lock screen then recovers on its own. In a few minutes lock screen stays on unresponsive. I have tried factory reset. Using fingerprint scanner. I will try turning it off and report back.

I also believe it is the launcher crashing after 5.1.1.. I changed the launcher to NOVA and I haven't had any slow downs or crashes
Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk

Nova has an option very much like adding the command below to build.prop
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
For those that are rooted and don't want to try another launcher, try adding that to build.prop I'm not sure but post if it's already there; I wouldn't know myself, running OB7.
Reboot after edit with root browser. I can't imagine why a problem like this exists for an update that's supposed to be a fix for memory leak but acts like it's out of memory? Debloat may help but it may be simpler than that.

I've tried different launchers and I'm still having issues with a laggy lock screen and also laggy pull down menus. Also the phone can become laggy in general use. Any ideas on how to fix this? My phone is unrooted and I would like to keep it that way. I don't feel comfortable flashing my phone.

Did you try the following? I don't know if this works without root but Nova launcher (and possibly others) has an aggressive desktop setting at bottom of advanced settings. Enable that and reboot if you can enable it.
Haven't got confirmation if the build.prop edit is helping rooted users but there was one report of improvement with Nova Launcher.

That's the only close response I've got to a confirmation. It's been suggested to debloat or turn some apps off but that's still not confirmation.
I'm running rooted OB7 deodex with Xposed myself so I've only suggested a possible solution. I'm running a modified version of the OG5 5.1.1 kernel (freeza's Beastmode 1.0). I think the kernel is pretty sound in performance and in regards to battery; it gave me a boost in screen on time per charge.

[Q] Where did my lockscreen go?!

When I was using my phone today, I noticed that a long press on the power button was shutting down the phone instead of bringing up the menu. Then, I realized that I had also lost my lock screen, which I really hadn't noticed because I don't use the pattern lock. Turns out, even if I enabled the pattern lock, password, or PIN, using the power button still took the phone straight into the home screen.
I don't know if it was an bug in a random app, malware, or what... I spent a lot of time searching for an answer on what might have caused it, but didn't find anything really helpful. I started deleting all my recent apps, but couldn't get the lock screen back, so I ended up restoring the phone to factory settings and starting from scratch.
The only reason I'm posting about it is that I'm not entirely sure what caused it... I'm debating the possibility that it could it could be a touchwiz bug. Anyone else ever run into this?

Yes, its a known bug. I just ran into the bug today and I refuse to do a factory reset to fix the issue since its just gonna happen again. Samsung should be able to fix it with a simple software update.

Ah, that would explain it... I was tearing out my hair trying to figure out what I had done. Funny thing is, I don't even *like* having a lock screen. I was just bothered by the fact something was wrong...
How did you find out that it's a known bug? I must have been phrasing my search poorly, because I couldn't find squat about the issue.
Still, whether I like the screen lock or not, I think this is a pretty decent security bug, considering it removes the ability to lock the phone...

I know because I seen it under "list of known issues". If you scroll down a few post you'll find it. The downside to not having a lockscreen is that if you receive a text message your phone will automatically unlock and you may accidentally dial someone if the phone is in your pocket.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WITH THE LOCKSCREEN ISSUE I ADVISE USING A 3RD PARTY LOCKSCREEN. I AM CURRENTLY USING "AGILE LOCKSCREEN" (WHICH CAN BE FOUND IN THE ANDROID MARKET). I AM USING THE PRO VERSION, BUT THE FREE ONE WILL DO THE JOB ALSO.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Mine's gone too.... Now that we have root I've a nandroid backup which I believe still had the lockscreen and will try restoring from that. If that doesn't work then I guess I'll do a master reset and restore from Titanium Backup. Hopefully Clockwork Recovery will survive the master reset...
I thought that was just me yesterday so I did a master reset

I was thinking the complete opposite. I installed ripple lock and that's when i started having the problem. Uninstalling didn't help. As soon as i uninstalled and a factory reset, haven't had any issues since.

No, its definitely a software bug. I don't advise doing a master reset because the issue will continue to happen.

For people having issues of making calls/etc. when the screen unlocks:

SGS3 will not rotate. Please help!

I am a new SGS3 owner coming from the OG Evo and I've never really ran into a problem like this. My phone will not go into Landscape/On its side at all. I tried everything I know of and I'm stuck. I pulled down the notification bar and switch the toggle, went into settings and display and unchecked auto-rotate, wiped both caches, fixed permissions, formatted the entire phone (internal, external, sd-ext). I'm absolutely stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I was going to say return it because it's covered by the Samsung warranty which will cover any hardware issues which you are having. Play temple run and see if your tilt will work. But unfortunately you rooted your phone therefore breaking warranty

I was actually just about to Odin back to stock, and now the rotation works. It did drop on the floor, not far at all, before I turned it on. So it has to be a hardware problem. But hey, it works now! Lol

(Q) Super Slow Screen Rotation

I've noticed that if my screen goes off whilst in landscape orientation it takes a full 10 seconds to rotate to portrait. Idon't have any rotation apps or setting turned on so I'm thinking it's native TW issue. Has anyone seen this and/or found a fix?

Yep....I've seen it many times as I run TW based builds...
The only fix I've found is getting away from the stock stuff..
CM/AOKP/AOSP seem to have it fixed, and If we know where to look, I'm sure it's a setting we could change.....(maybe)
TW framework is big...and I have no idea where to start looking......g
I'm a little disappointed, I mean 10 seconds is flat out ridiculous. Everyone keeps saying that this is one of if not the fastest phone out there, but I'm greeted with this unusual issue that bugs the he'll out of me.

ah damn, ok. mine seems to be ok so far. i can live with the ocassional lag, i just can't stand it when it gets stuck in one orientation no matter what I do.
I saw this in another thread i think, but there is a market app called Adaptive Rotation Lock. I have it set to Force Auto, and my rotation seems to be about normal! At least i am definitely not getting stuck in one orientation anymore. The bad lag seems to be gone as well, i think. And even the lockscreen works in landscape lol.

[Q] Lag going from Portrait to landscape

I have been having this issue since I got my Note 3 last week. It happens no matter what rom I am using.
My Note has a lag when going from portrtait to landscape when I turn the device. The lag is about 3 seconds and is very annoying. Does anyone else have this issue? Is it just the way it is or is there a adjustment in the settings I do not see? Like I said it happens no matter what rom I am running even stock.
Thank you very much.
Jeff
My stock rooted Note 3 does not have a lag switching. Might be you have some app that is causing the issue.
Yep, rooted stock on mine is maybe half a second.

2 Issues - Fingerprint & SD Card

Been a week with the '10' and its great in everything an HTC fanboy would want, still struggling to get the camera to get wow pics. Other issue, i felt was that the chamfered edge at the bottom of the phone hurts the little finger, while you rest your phone on it. Seems like a minor issue, but that's where the phone rests most of the time. Of course a cover can solve that issue. Used my old M8 PU cover and made a few holes for the camera and mic.
Issue 1:
After adding the fingerprint and it worked amazingly well...used it for a couple of days and i LOVE it, now it cant live without it.....and now every time I try to unlock, it says 'Pattern required after restarting'. Goes without saying I restarted to see if the issue goes. It doesn't.... repeated lock-unlock also didn't clear it.
Issue 2:
Moved the SD card from my M8, but could not move apps to the SD. Formatted the card, still cant move apps...I can see the card from File Explorer and move files manually but not through the UI. I can also 'format as internal', but not a big fan of encrypted internal drive that I cant access otherwise.
I have unlocked and rooted the phone...s-off is on the cards but only after venomrom blesses us with something for the 10.
Pattern after restarting is normal, almost every phone has that required

True, but only once...right? This goes in a loop. Need to keep entering the pattern each time its needs to be unlocked.

Do you lock your phone with gestures? Like double tap of Nova Launcher?
If yes, it will always ask for the pattern, unless you root your phone
