double locking? phone still locks with s2u2 - RESOLVED - Wing, P4350 General

Yesterday for no particular reason at all (haven't made a change to my phone in months) my phone now is locked by the default built in lock (the unlock + press the screen or * one). I normally use S2U2 but its kinda weird to slide unlock it then have to unlock it again. I'm kind of frustrated. In trying to fix it this morning I decided to upgrade my S2U2 since it was old. So I uninstalled the old one and installed the latest one. It didn't change anything. Does anybody know why this may be happening? It is only happening when I hit the power button, not on normal timeout lockouts. I am assuming there is some kind of setting in the registry or somewhere I can change but I haven't seen anything. I've played with the options under settings --> system and all to no avail. Anybody got any tips?

Whew - got it fixed. Somehow an option in HomeScreen++ was enabled.

G-Alarm disables TouchFlo?

Every time I install G-Alarm on my phone, TouchFlo seems to get disabled.
It is still enabled in the settings menu, but the home screen is just a HTC wallpaper, and when I press the windows key the start menu is opened.
I have tried rebooting multiple times, but nothing seems to help...
Only removing the application has worked so far for me
Any ideas?
EDIT: I'm having the same problem with G-Profile!
It seems that the programs just disables the TF service from launching/running...
Haven't experienced that problem myself, using G-Alarm v1.5.1 here.
Hmm.. Strange.
I have heard more people say the are using some of the "G-programs" on the Touch Pro 2. So it must be something in the ROM I guess.
I am using an unbranded Dutch version. But I have no clue on how to fix this...
Ok. I have figured out that if I remove the PIN entry screen from the start up sequence (so no PIN has to be entered anymore) G-Profiles works. I haven't tried the others yet, but I'm sure they'll work as well.
The thing is... I would like my phone to have a bit of protection by the PIN code
I don't use G-alarm on my Dutch TP2. But I have this issue with not starting TouchFlo3D also. On HTC advise I resetted the device. Then it worked for abou 4 hours and after that it wouldn't start anymore. The screen staus black with the fancy HTC in the sceen... but no "starting touchflo".
Als for that reason I instaled SPB mobile shell latest... but this will not update new SMS or Mails in the main screen... more people on SPBCLUB have this issue... I think it has something to do with the TP2 and not with SPB... more people with same problems?
Ahh...so that's what causing it.. I have a G-Alarm too but didn't realize it's affecting the interface not loading up
Several soft reset and it'll load up. Kinda annoying until the developer fixes it (and we have to pay for the new version )
I don't think this problem is just with G-applications, I am having the same problem withouth any g-apps installed. After a few reboots it usually works again, but I think this is a more genereal TP2 issue.

I've asked on his forum, and he said it probably was a TouchFLO bug...
Thread here: http://forum.ageye.de/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=721&start=0
(I'm BiT on there...)
I've had the exact same issue but found out that with me it wasn't linked to G-Alarm but to the 'Background4AllTabs' plugin,
I've hard reset tons of times, tried several alternate installs, but once I start changing TF3D options like th background or clocks, it slows down tremendously in screen rotation and it often won't start after reboot...
hmm i dont know if you still have these problems but a few days ago i figured out a solution^^
The problem is the entry. I've got an htc touch pro 2.
Soo to get TF3D starting try fallowing thing:
-Go to "Settings-->Connections" and turn ON the flightmode (this will disconnect all)
-Then restart your phone... wait a few seconds and TADAAA TF3D SHOULD start.
-Go to "Settings-->Connections" turn OFF the flightmode
-Enter your PIN
-Now your phone should connect to your provider.
So if this work you have to do this every time you restart your phone... so turn on flightmode --> restart--> turn off flightmode
I hope this way is not only working on my phone
btw sorry about my english xD
GreeZ $me
Flightmode works for me
Indeed it works now. But I have another interesting thing.
I was used of waiting nicely looking at the PIN input screen. Wait, lets say,. 20 seconds; cancel the pin input and see the Touchflow coming up in 100% of the cases. So I could live with the problem.
Now I installed Navigon who puts a file in the autorun folder. And now Touchflow never starts up any more with the exception of the Flightmode trick.
Is navigon guilty?
i never used G-Alarm but i have the same problem.
so i've tried checking on/off Today/Item/TF3D, tried Flight Mode, and it still won't work. i'm talking like only 30-50% of the time it does work. and I never had PIN1 enabled!
i'm no programmer but it is conflicting with apps we install because TF3D works perfectly when the phone was fresh or hard-resetted. btw i'm using 6.1 Stock T-mobile

Unlock screen problem

I have a big problem,it happens once a day(it happend before MR1,with MR1,and with MR2). Cant unlock the screen,when I need to drag padlock left or right it just cant,padlock stays on the left or right side, I can get it back to the middle but unlock - NO (sometimes it promts for some ''unlock code'' but it is not usuall lock code,one REFERENCE it is NOT set to use a screen lock code). Only soft reset helps. Somebody have something to say???
hi
this is a strange thing you said, and i can't imagine what are you saying.
but try to set a unlock code and set the setting not to ask the code.
i can't tell the step by step cause i'm updating the MR2 right now.
I had similar problem after upgrading my X2 to MR1. It used to happen frequently.
Yesterday evening I upgraded my X2 to MR2, since then I have encoutered the same problem once.
Any solution?
that problem makes me very.........i cant use basic functions like answering the call when it happens. and that was happening to me also before i installed mr1and now with mr2.
I solved problem when set the device to promt for a pass when unlock,but when i turn off that option problem comes back. I must use my phone with that option turned ON or it will freeze every day.
Ah had this all the time initially, after MR1 it never happened at all.
In about a couple weeks of MR2 usage, it happened once. Hasn't happened again, but ever since then my sms alerts randomly become silent.
Guess MR2 is still quite buggy. I'm about to jump ship.
I've had a lock bug on the MR1 a lot but with MR2 i've only had it once (where it would tell me that my pass was invalid when it wasn't). A quick reboot of the phone and it hasn't happen again (thankfully).
Maybe every once in a while (every 1-2 weeks) give your phone a full reboot (pop out the battery, put it back and turn the phone on). Maybe that will keep you from getting it as frequently (maybe).
guys,
do you use Autolock activated mode when you see unexpected password to unlock prompt or when you can't unlock unit by moving bubble on the screen?
I sow this issue a lot of times - but it's interesting that I never sow this issue when unit is in autolock and in sleep mode, I receive input call and I see bubbles like Answer or Skip but I always can unlock my unit and answer or skip Call. Do you know anything about similar issues for other WinMob products?

[Q] Cyanogenmod 10.1(.2 or latest nightly) - Lockscreen Problems

Dear all,
a few days ago I started again using Cyanogenmod, first latest stable (10.1.2) and today also latest nightly.
In Settings lockscreen is enabled with cLock-Widget, till now I tried normal unlock (move only), pattern, PIN and Password but in 90% of all cases, if I switch of my Nexus with Power, it is NOT locked. Pressing Power again, after a few seconds, minutes or just hours still show homescreen oder latest app which was open. Same if I do not use Power but waiting for automatic Lockscreen.
Do anyone has the same problem or just know how to fix that?

What are your settings for under Security for:
"Automatically Lock after ## after sleep" and do you have "Power button instantly locks" checked?

I've noticed this as well. Since around the time of the 10.1.2 release.
Basically, I've changed the default settings so there's a lock screen and it works at first, but then, seemingly randomly will stop working, ie no lock screen whatsoever. I can leave the phone for hours, and there's no security.
Seems like a pretty serious flaw to me. I've actually upgraded my CM installation, as well as done a complete reinstall, doing a factory reset, and updating to the latest nightly, ie last nights, and this issue is still there.
Basically means I can't rely on CM for keeping my phone secure. I've changed the settings back and forth, tried different security settings, reset things, reinstalled, etc. Tried everything I can think of.
Yes, all the proper settings are there, basically CM's default settings once you turn the lock screen on should work, power button instantly locks, timeout etc.
About ready to go back to an earlier version or different rom completely.
Anyone have any thoughts?

I just loaded my first rom on my Note 2 today. Getting the same thing. The quick fix is to close all the open apps, then it kicks you right back into the lock screen. I double click, then button in the top right and closes them all auto for me. I think it might be FB Messenger causing the issues but I can't say for sure. LMK if you that helps in the short term?
Am not running FB Messanger, so that's not causing it for me.
I'm using a pattern on my lock screen, not sure if this issue exists with all types of lock screens.
Hi all,
I've just installed CM 10.1.2 on my SGS2 (GT-I9100) yesterday and I had the exact same problem.
I've just figured out where the problem is:
I use Handcent SMS app, and when I receive a text, a quick reply window pop up. If I type my reply in it and hit send, it deactivate my lock screen.
Hope my answer helps!
I have the same issue. Disabled the popup function in Handcent settings and lockscreen i working.

Help! Several major issues on 4.3 (home button, SIM, lock screen)

My N4 was away to repair a broken screen. Got it back on Wednesday and it immediately updated to 4.3. All was well, except for one weird issue where hitting a notification from the pull down would take me to the app via the pattern lock. I put this down to having played with some lock screen settings in Setting Profiles app (trying to disable it in certain settings), but it might not have been.
I've done the first device restart today, and after rebooting there are a few big issues.
1. I don't appear to have any mobile network, though wifi is connected. I had a good signal before the reboot.
2. I'm not getting a lock pattern or any lock screen at all, and it's not asked for the SIM pin
3. Hitting a notification in the pull-down makes the 'lock' clicking sound as it takes me to the app
4. The home button doesn't work. I see a slight dim of the screen and it makes the lock click sound, but nothing happens. Back and multitask work fine
Help! Any ideas? Are they known issues? Can't seem to find any reference online.
I'm on stock, using Nova Launcher

Those are not any known issues or anything I have read since Andrid 4.3 came out. Try a factory reset to see if that solves the problem. If not, maybe the screen wasn´t the only thing broken on your device. Ask for warranty.
Thanks, will see how I get on this evening and try a factory reset if it doesn't fix itself.
Seems to be a weird problem related to the lock screen and when it should/shouldn't kick in...

Glad I could help.
Ok, I've done a factory reset. Not had much chance to play as it took hours to reinstall everything. But I've just had the word issue where selecting something from the notification tray (the setting profiles shortcut) took me to the lock screen to put in my pattern first, then took me to the app.
EDIT no pattern to when it does it, seems random and can be while I'm using the device, so the lock screen shouldn't kick in for any reason
Any ideas? Faulty device?

After latest update, weird lock screen behavior

Ok,not sure if it's the new VZ update ( VS980026A) or StumpRoot (the only way I could root after this update), but double tapping the phone or using the power key to wake up the phone shows the lock screen and immediately shuts off again.
It wasn't doing this before, and it's intermittent. Is there any way to debug that? I may have solved it by setting the security lock timer to 5 seconds instead of the default "immediately", but is there any way to debug this?
I didn't have problems til this update. Maybe I need to dump the VZ ROM and load something else. Any suggestions on the best ROM?
