I have had the phone for about a week, and it is very fast, but I set up face unlock yesterday and it freezes up when it gets unlocked that way. If I unlock it quickly after screen off it seems fine, but if it has been resting for more than a few minutes, I get a black screen (with the software buttons back menu home but they are unresponsive) for 5-10 seconds. Anyone else getting this or know of a fix?
I have not had this issue. Face unlock is quick whenever I use it. I do have raise to wake on and stay on lock screen after unlocking set to off.
I also use nova launcher.
Happy to test mine with different settings if you let me know how yours is set up.
Ian
same settings and nova launcher, except not stay on lock screen after unlock
Have changed that setting to match yours and still fine. Might be worth giving it a try with default launcher just to see if it has anything to do with nova launcher.
Otherwise I am not sure what else to suggest.
Change settings face unlock

When my phone is unlocked and I access any entry in the notification pulldown screen (e.g., weather, email, USB connected......anything), I am taken to the lock screen and required to re-input my unlock pattern (or facial recognition). Since the phone is obviously unlocked when I tap on notification area, this seems like it may be a bug. Why return to the lock screen when the phone is already unlocked?
Is anybody else experiencing this behavior?

Mine did something like that for a little while....i'd just installed golocker but didn't have it set as the correct default I think.
Thanks for your response, Rocket_Science, but since I do not use the GO Launcher EX, I don't think the GO Locker will work on my phone. And I have no desire to install the GO Launcher. Still looking for a fix . . . .
I am going to bump this back up in the hope that some kind soul (who uses a password or gesture protected lock screen) will test their OG and let me know if they experience similar behavior: with your phone unlocked, access the notification pull down and tap on any item (weather, email, etc.). Are you taken to the item or do you return to the lock screen? I always get take to the lock screen and need to re-input my password to get access to the device.
Many thanks.

This seems to be a known issue with Android 4.x when using an application that disables the lock screen for you. I use Llama, and I have it disable the lock screen automatically after it successfully connects to my home wifi. If I click on anything in the Notification area, the lock screen will appear and come up every time thereafter. As long as I don't click on any Notifications, it will not re-lock itself.
This happened to me on my HTC Evo 3D as well, so I thought it was a bug with Llama, but I saw the same issue mentioned with another application that performs a similar action.
This is probably something that would have to be reported to Google.
Hey guys, recently (today 1/28) i noticed my galaxy note 2 automatically bypasses the lock screen whenever the screen wakes up (so no ripple effects, and i have no lock or pin or pattern set, so just a swipe would work). So I tried setting up a pattern lock, and similar thing happens. The phone would wake up, go to home screen for a split second, then returns back to the lock screen with the pattern lock.
I was wondering, does anyone know whats wrong with this?
Extra information: I used to have GO launcher on it with their custom lock screen. However, I uninstalled everything already, so that shouldn't be a problem.

it's Go Locker... it's not the best lock screen replacement... you should turn off the go locker lock screen and turn on the stock one. Clear defaults on Go Locker and set it to just Go Launcher and enable the original lockscreen after disabling Go Locker

but I have already cleared w/e data that Go Locker has and then uninstalled it. So i doubt that Go locker is causing my lock screen bypassing problem, unless it was some sort of glitch from when i had it (i used it for 2 days)

I tried rebooting, removing battery, rebooting without SD card. So far nothing works. Odd thing is that, during the early part of reboot when the widgets are not fully loaded yet, this problem don't exist. But when the widgets are fully loaded, this problem returns
I am using stock and for like less than a half of a second that happens. Nothing u can really do with it.

Problem is completely solved now. Apparently, it is the result of a bug/glitch in a chinese music streaming app that I got from Google play. Also, thanks to everyone that replied to this.

I had the same problem, I had the "Lock instantly with power key" unchecked, however the phone still locks it right after I push the power key no matter how long I set the lock time. Then I found out that whenever I have the Kugou Music running, it does that. So as long as you quit the program when not listening music, you are fine.
And there's actually one setting on Kugou Music that override the lock screen.
I have been trying to get Widget Locker working on my One but have hit an issue. I am thinking I may not be able to fix this without Root but I wanted to run it by the community to verify.
I have my phone linked to an Exchange server that forces a 4 digit pass-code onto the device. So from the default lock screen I swipe up and then get the keypad to unlock the device.
Widget Locker replaces the main screen and 60% of the time when I unlock the device it takes me to the keypad directly.
The other 40% of the time is the issue. When I unlock from Widget Locker it takes me to the default screen where I would swipe up. From this point I can ether swipe up and unlock or shut off the screen. When I try again it usually works perfectly.
Is there any way to get consistent behavior from Widget Locker without root? What I would expect would be to unlock and be taken to the keypad 100% of the time.
I would love to use widget locker, but I always get a 3-7 second delay with turning on my phone. Sorry I can't help you.

Go into Settings and set the HTC lockscreen to none. It forces the phone to only use WL, and you never see the stock lockscreen. Works for me,

That kills the security on the phone. We need to have ether a pin or password unlock to secure the device. Even without it I would want a pattern unlock at the least to keep it somewhat safe.
I expanded my search a bit and this seems to be a common problem on phones that have any sort of lockscreen security. What I cant understand is why it does work some times, but not others. It does not appear to be a timing issue but I cannot narrow down what else would randomly (apparently random) trigger the stock lock screen yet work other times.

No, it doesn't. The HTC lockscreen and the Security lockscreen are two different things. You can have the HTC lockscreen set to none, and still have the option to unlock with any of the various lock methods(i.e. PIN, Pattern, Face Unlock, etc...) I know this is true because I use it everyday. I use WL, have my HTC lockscreen set to none, and still have to enter a PIN to unlock my phone. And have no delay when using WL once the phone is booted.

And I am an idiot. You are completely correct. I am trying it now, thank you.
Edit: Working like a charm. If anybody else is having this issue the setting is under Personalize, lock screen style.
Thanks again!
This is what is happeing to me. If my phone is locked for more than 20 minutes or so, when I use my fingerprint to unlock the phone, it only wakes th phone, I.e.turns the backlight on, but doesn't unlock it.
The fingrprint registers correctly, as the screen wouldn't wake otherwise. I'm struggling to understand what the problem could be.. maybe its Go Launcher? Maybe its lightflow? Or someway around notifications?
do u have a pin set up or pattern
Yes I do. When I use my fingerprint, it takes me to the screen to input my PIN

I had the same issue when I turned on douple tap to sleep in novalauncher. Once I disabled it, the fingerprint reader unlocked my phone, not taking me to the pattern screen. Its certainly a software problem, I guess it's your launcher.
I'm using a older version of Go Launcher EX (5.09). Its very old, but does the job for me.. unfortunatly it doesn't have the double tap option.
I'll try disabling it and see if th problem persists
Edit:
With the Google Now launcher, when I use this app to lock, the same problem occurs. I lock by clicking the app, but then when I try to unlock using fingerprint, it takes me to the PIN screen

If you want to use fingerprint unlock function, you need to install FingerprintEnabler xposed module. Else the fingerprint to screen on and ask for pin or pattern is the default behavior..!
I've got Nova Launcher installed and when I lock the screen using a nova lock screen widget, after two seconds it automatically unlocks the screen again and goes back to home screen.
It's clearly related to face unlock because when I cover the camera with a finger, the phone stays locked and doesn't unlock itself again.
When I change nova's unlock method to "admin" everything works fine but this method requires a Pin to unlock so I don't want to use it. The "accessibility" method is much preferred.
Anyone experiencing this??
