Okay, so suddenly when I use my finger print it is asking for my PIN. When I input the PIN the screen turns black and my lock screen simply reappears. So I use my PIN or finger print again and it turns black again and brings me back to my lock screen again.
Now and again previously to today after using my fingerprint it would ask me for my PIN occasionally That's not unusual. This time however it just goes black and kicks me back to my lockscreen. I proceed to repeat the process and same issue.
I can't access my phone via PC either since I can't change the settings for file transfer on the lock screen. Just wants my credentials again.
I forget which rom I am on since I can't get into download mode or recovery.
Any ideas? This may sound like a dumb question, but since this is never happened before, is there another way to reboot my phone without having the ability to access my reboot options? Holding down on power does nothing.
Okay, so on a hunch I long pressed the power button for two minutes. It ended up rebooting and when it loaded some of my app icons were grayed out and I got the message "App Not Installed" when I tried to open any of the grayed apps up. I rebooted again and everything is back to normal.
Also, when I plugged my phone back into my PC I got the authorization prompt again to allow connections and it fixed my device not showing in ADB. Does this key expire sometimes?
Just wanted to let everyone know the issue seems to be fixed. Well, for now.

Yesterday my phone freaked out and the lock screen turned in to a white screen with no input box only an emergency call button, I was using knock. I ended up clearing the phone out and started from scratch so I wiped data, but now when I select knock and lock the phone, it quickly prompts the type in your pin then opens.
Anyone seen anything like this?
Edit
Actually any lock screen I select does what I described above other than swipe

Did someone try to enter your phone multiple times? Maybe this is how the phone locks them (or you...) out. After a number of unsuccessful attempts, the phone will prompt you for the unlock pin you set as a failsafe.

Well first I noticed the phone wasnt really locking, it would flash to the back up pin lock then flash away, and it did that many times before the screen just went white. I rebooted, cleared cache, I was unable to adb to it. I ended up clearing everything and starting from scratch.
Its really odd, only the swipe lockscreen works.
What happened is that i opened an app and then the phone went to sleep, when I unlocked it the screen started to glitch and appear to pressing on the screen for itself. I tried pressing the home button but it was lagging and nothing really happened so I held down the power button and reset the phone. When the phone booted back up and I had to enter my screen lock, I noticed that it wasn't corresponding with where I was pressing, also I pressed on the screen with a quick touch, it appeared that multiple touches registered all over the screen. Since I couldn't get past the screen lock, I turned off the phone, went into Recovery and factory reset the phone. Even after the factory reset, the problem persists so I can't even go through the setup wizard. The phone is completely stock by the way, is there any way to fix this? Or am I going to have to send it back?
So my phone was in my pocket and it was getting hot so i took it out, and saw it on the boot animation. I left it and it didn't go past this boot screen so i held in the power button to restart it, and it restarted. Only when i turned it on, my 4G plan was active, and I could no longer use the notification pull down bar. I can swipe down from the top once, but not a second time to access quick settings. Also my circle and square (home and multitask) buttons are not working, the phone vibrates when i touch them but nothing happens, only the triangle (back) button works. On the lock screen, there is no longer an option to swipe right for the camera, and double pressing the home button to activate the camera does nothing, it just turns the display on and off. I have tried putting the phone into safe mode to see if an app was causing the problem, but the problem persists, when i turned my phone back on normally, the widgets on my home screen had disappeared. I tried switching accounts to the guest account but it says 'switching to guest' and then seems to fail to switch to the guest account and quickly says 'switching to (main account name)', before returning to my main account. Any ideas, I really need the problem fixed, thanks in advance!
stock rom??
my advice if you cant fix it try to do a factory reset do it like your last resource cause it wipes all data
another advice you should always have a backup you never know when **** like this happens
Thanks for the reply.
Yeah I am running stock ROM, so strange that this has happened.
I am struggling to backup photos etc as i would usually enable usb debugging and just click and drag the folders over to my PC, but it says on my settings page that 'developer options are not available to this user', so I am having to use another photo backup website, which is annoying.
This happened to be when I manually updated from MMB29Q to MHC19J without flashing MMB29V first. Only solution was to boot into TWRP to backup my files and then factory reset.

my oneplus 3 (rooted) is not accepting my swipe pattern and does not give me the option to enter a pin code after a forgotten swipe pattern. i called oneplus but the person i spoke to said the only option was to wipe the phone. she would not allow me to talk directly to anyone with any technical expertise.
when i power on the phone everything seems normal until i get to the swipe pattern screen. first ,the bootloader screen (i think, the screen where you either press the start button to start the phone, or use the volume buttons to select options like poweroff/restart/recovery etc) shows up and then the oneplus logo comes up with the 'powered by android' at the bottom. then it shows the two white dots orbiting the red circle and then the screen to enter the swipe pattern appears with 'to start android, draw your pattern' at the top. i have made a few failed attempts, but it is now counting down, saying you have 6 attempts before the phone is wiped.
about two weeks ago i began having an issue that occurred maybe 2 or 3 times since. i would pull my phone out of my pocket and it would be powered off. after i turned it on, the initial swipe pattern would not be accepted, but the second swipe was always accepted.
i have tried entering recovery mode (teamwin), but the swipe pattern fails here also.
is there any way to get the phone started without losing my data?

Don't think you can do anything. Haven't encountered this what did you do with your phone? Are you on the latest TWRP? Latest OOS?

i had not changed anything on the phone recently. the swipe pattern has been the same since i got the phone over 2 years ago. i believe i was on the latest twrp, and i had a notification for about a week or two that there was an update available, but did not get around to downloading and installing it yet.
Hi! I am new here.
I would like to know if someone can help me. This morning, while watching a video on YouTube, my mobile got "frozen" and it has not responded until now. If I hold down the lock button, it reacts and turns off, but when I restart it, as soon as I enter the password, it takes 2 seconds to got frozen again. I cannot open any application. I have tried it with Gallery, Google Chrome and Settings. I did not get to enter in any of those apps, because as soon as I touch them, the phone stops reacting. I don't know if it matters, but the screen brightness rises and falls while the phone does not react.
After pressing the lock button several times, he managed to access to a different screen with 3 options:
Reboot
Wipe data
Connect with MIAssistant
By clicking on Reboot -> Reboot system, anything different is done. .
When I click on Connect with MIAssistant, the web site pcsuite.mi.com appears on the screen so that I can access to the download page of MI Suite, which I have already downloaded and does not recognize the device when I connect it via USB. The laptop does recognize it (it makes noise when I put in and remove the USB). Only I got to have the "Redmi Note 8" folder on My Computer once, but after clicking on I saw it was empty (the option to give the laptop permission to access the files does not appear on the screen so I could not click on it).
I have not dared to click on Wipe data -> Wipe all data because I have some photos (few, I make backups frequently) that I would not like to lose.
I kept pressing the lock button several times and ended up on a FASTBOOT screen. He has been there for half an hour, but anything different has been done again.
Any ideas? I can still access the main screen of the mobile, but it does not last more than 2 seconds until it hangs.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.
Option #1 SAFE MODE works on Redmi note 8 pro
Reboot or power on phone as normal. When you seen the powered by android logo appearing and animateing, hold the volume down button, when you reach the lockscreen in the lower left corner you will see "Safe mode". If there is an app causing the freeze, this should do the trick.
IF #1 doesn't work
#2 Try XiaomiADBFastbootTools, you could access to the files using the "file explorer" built in, rescue the data, then do the wipe or try disabling or uninstalling 3rd party apps.
