All good until yesterday , my phone was encrypted, out of the blue the lock screen was removed and back to none, this caused problems with my phone, so did a restore and the problem continues. Even went as far flashed to original Rom. problem persist, i am out of ideas whats causing the lock screen to revert back to no password.
My G2 just did the same thing. I have no idea why.
And now as I typed this my security app, webroot secure anywhere mobile just disabled itself. What the....
Just thought I'd update, I found some others having the same problem in another forum and it appears to be caused by the webroot secure anywhere app.

The wildest thing happened to me when I flashed the latest nightly. I originally had a pattern set to unlock the screen and that was backed up in titanium backup. When I flashed the nightly I changed it to a PIN. Here's where the issue comes in - I restored my backup (to get apps and settings back) in titanium then rebooted. Now I can't unlock it. I type in the PIN since it shows the PIN ui but it's actually looking for a pattern though the ui for that isn't showing up. Obviously this is my fault, however I'm wondering if anyone else has had this happen before? I don't want to do a data/factory reset but I see that being the only simple fix. Anyone have another idea though?
I think I know what you mean.
Every once in a while when I have to unlock my SIM it doesn't recognize my pin.
I just blackout the screen and go back, usually it gets the pin right.
Sometimes I get scared when it happens lol.
Yeah that's what I thought it was at first, until I saw the message that I entered the pattern wrong 10 times, now I have to wait 30 seconds. I got it fixed now so I'm happy. I just wonder why or how this would occur. It seems to me that 'if X is true>then Y is true, Z is false' doesn't exist for the lock screen, it's more like 'if X is true>then Y and Z are true'. I guess it's just a quirky argument bug in the system, oh well. It can always be fixed
Hello everyone, this is my first post. So recently I have been having a certain issue concerning my lockscreen bothering me. It really isn't a deal breaker, but it messes with my OCD. So at random times, the lock and message (life companion) on my lock screen shrink as shown in the attached image. It does not seem to do anything except for bother me. The lock screen does this unpredictably, but it does not do it often. I have tried a hard reset a few times and it does not fix it. It even fixes itself after a once again, random amount of time. I am not rooted, I use basic touchwiz, basically its how I got it out of the box with some games I installed through humble bundle. Any ideas?

It's a TW bug. It can also happen with the unlock "pad lock" icon that appears on the lock screen if you have no unlock effect enabled. It doesn't affect function and a restart fixes it. Happens to me maybe twice a month. Maybe it'll be squashed with the next official release. No biggie.
Hello,
I am posting here in hopes someone has the wisdom to help me in solving this issue, because I have barely found anything on this forum, the G4 subreddit, etc.
When I first had my LG G4 everything worked perfectly: no bootloops, no camera issues, it was occasionally sluggish but I just changed the launcher to fix it. After about a month ago, my Pokemon Go app started having connectivity issues so I reset the phone to factory default settings. This reset fixed those connectivity issues, but now the glance view feature doesn't work 98% of the time. Specifically, if I attempt to "pull" from the top of my screen on my lock screen, it never works; once or twice I've seen it appear for a brief second when I was cleaning my phone with a cloth. The odd thing is my knock to wake still works and I can still pull notifications from the screen when the phone is unlocked.
Things I have attempted to resolve this problem:
changing lock screen types
resetting the phone to factory defaults and trying the glance view from stock after the reset
varying "pull" speeds to try to get the glance view to show
re-cleaning the screen
I'm kind of just trying to get this feature to work again. I do have a screen protector on, but I have had it on since the day I got my phone. I have the LG-H811 model with Android 6.0 SW version H81120p. Any tips would be appreciated.
Hi everyone,
I have 2 Galaxy S8+ from Verizon and here are my issues:
Past issues:
One of them did not come with the Galaxy Apps store (Not the plays store), and that phone also experienced the DQA issue
Current issues:
If I turn on Fingerprint gestures, the fingerprint sensor will stop working, this was an issue I had from the day I got the phone and has continued even through the updates. Here's a thread I made about it a while ago : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/help/fingerprint-sensor-t3595614
My internal speaker has detached, or at least I think that is the issue, as sometimes when I am in a phone call and shake the phone just a little bit, it will either start making a weird buzz sound or completely cut off the sound. Shaking it again will fix it, that's why I think it's a physical issue. I haven't dropped my phone and just in case I ever do, I have a case and a screen protector on it, and neither of them (phone, case, screen protector) have any damage marks on them.
The Biggest Issue: Currently this is the most annoying bug I am experiencing is that whenever I go to lock screen and security in the setting app, it crashes the settings app. I also can't use the search function in the settings app, as it crashes the app withing a few seconds. The lock screen and security is the only menu in which I experience this, I am 99% sure this is due to me turning on Secure startup. I had it turned on a few days after I got the phone and it worked great, I had to turn it off once, about a month ago in order to get a quicker boot. After that I was experiencing issues turning it back on (meaning I turned it on, rebooted the phone and it would not work) , after some persistence, I was able to get it to work and it has worked and still works.
One thing to mention is that I had done the most recent system update, I am not sure this issue was caused by at, since the inability so search in the setting menu has happened prior to the latest update.
I have tried everything other than a full factory reset (wiping all cache, wiping apps cache, reset setting, reset network settings), which I refuse to do, It is absolutely unacceptable for me to pay this much for this phone and have so many issues with it, I have factory resetted my phone (Samsung's recommendation) in order to fix the first issue listed above, multiple times and it did not work.
At this point I really don't know what to do, Samsung support has been useless in this, I don't wish to replace my phone right now as I need it to much to even give up for one day, If anyone has any advice/fix other than factory resetting, I'll happily try it.
Thank you,

Sounds like a factory reset is needed. I just tried all you mentioned with zero problems on the newest update w/ navbar options and experienced none of that. Speaker problem is most likely hardware related.
Anyone had any luck getting rid of the wifi disconnect? The issue where wifi disconnects showing a ! next to the wifi symbol on the status bar?

You try changing your WiFi channel? Using 5ghz or 2.5ghz? I use Wifi 100% of the time I'm home and never have any issues with disconnects.

Yeah I have tried changing channels. It didn't matter. I'm on 2.4 GHz.
I found a possible fix from another forum. I changed my wifi encryption from wpa2 AES/tkip to wpa2 tkip only last night and was rock solid after that point. I didn't have any more wifi issues... Just wanted to mention this change for other people. I usually got 5+disconnects every night. I'm gonna try just the AES option tonight and see how it acts.
All,
earlier last week my T835 got the OTA upgrade to Pie, upgrade went quick and smooth ...
Yesterday however, took the tablet from the charger and wanted to unlock by entering my PIN, got message "PIN incorrect", Thought I made a typo and re-entered my PIN, same result ... my PIN would no longer be accepted !!! Now, I was 100% sure I didn't change my PIN, so got really confused & scared .
Now I have my Screen Lock Type set to "PIN, Intelligent Scan", so managed to unlock using my face (had to change glasses ).
So I thought to check & change the PIN, but when you want to enter the "Secure Lock Settings" menu, your PIN is requested and again I got stuck, my PIN was not accepted and reported incorrect ...
So a catch-22, decided to restart the tab and see ... and guess what, after the restart, my original PIN is working/accepted again , anyone had this before??
thanks, Marcher
It could be your keyboard got into a funky state and it cleared from the restart. This could have been accidentally swiping something from a previous session or your cat walked across the tab or the dog licking it? Good to hear restarting resolved the issue.
I have the same thing on my Tab S4 since the Pie update installed. It's happening overnight, every night and it's not just the PIN. It is affecting Pattern and Password also. Resetting the tablet fixes it. I assume this is some third party software that Pie doesn't play nice with rather than a lack of QA, although I don't see anything other than Nova and Swiftkey that could be affecting it and my virus scans are coming up clean. Has anyone else seen this? Any ideas what it could be?

ok, so I am not the only one ... however can add now that this keeps on happening, every 2-3 days of usage, all of a sudden " wrong PIN "
Restarting fixes it ... I have no other tools running on mine ...
