As many of us have noticed the screen lock on out Imagio's seems to just stop working. I have had this problem over the last week. I just answered a question in another thread about the screen alignment and how it is randomly activated when the phone is removed from a holster or pocket. In the process I activated the screen alignment, did the alignment procedure and now I see my screen lock is working again! If your screen lock isnt working try aligning your screen and let us know if it corrected the screen lock.
Activate the screen alignment by holding the volume button(up and down) and touch the screen.
Good luck.
Good call Bboyle, I did as you stated and ran the screen alignment and the auto lock started working again. Thanks!
thanks you very much! I had this problem a couple months ago and ended up doing a hard reset and had to reconfigure everything. It worked fine until today the lock randomly stopped working again. Just aligned the screen and now it's back.
Aha! I always wondered how the hell my phone would be on alignment when it was locked and in my pocket.
I didn't know that button combo entered align mode. Obviously it does it even when the screen is locked.
I've never had my phone NOT lock the scree tho.
I got curious when I kept pulling my phone from a holster only to find the alignment utility active. It was very annoying when I needed to make a call but had to align first. So I figured out how I was causing the problem. Discovering the association to the lock was accidental.

When my HD2 returns from standby (switched on by the right hand button) the touchscreen is sometimes unresponsive. At first this just seemed like a short delay so I ignored it but this week it has refused to allow me to unlock it. The screen seems to be frozen.
I have tried turning the HD2 of and on - not completely off as I can't get to this function without being able to use the screen - and if I do this enough the screen will suddenly become responsive. The problem even survives a soft reset.
Yesterday, I decided to do a hard reset thinking I have done one reg tweak too many. After that the screen seemed fine and I could return the HD2 from stand by okay by sliding the 'lock' button. This morning the problem has reappeared and I again find that the screen will not respond to touch but then suddenly seems to work.
Anyone had the same problem or have any suggestions?
Thanks
I have the same problem as you on my brand new HD2. Did you allread have a solution for that?
folks, do report your issues here .. i have a feeling that this is a known hardware issue by HTC and they are just keeping veru quiet about this.

My Imagio used to become screen-locked when the screen went dark due to several minutes of inactivity. It suddenly stopped doing this and I can't figure out how to bring this back. How do I set it to lock (require slider slide before accepting screen presses) automatically after it sleeps?

I discovered today that if you align your screen the screen lock will work again.
Press the volume(up and down) and touch the screen all at the same time. Complete the alignment procedure. This fixed the problem for me.

Yo,
yesterday I dropped my GS7E, it wasn't much of a high but the ground was pretty hard. My hardglass screen protector shattered a little but not really much, just the bottom corners of the screen protector got hurt.
Since then, my phone is not waking the screen up the first time I press the power button to unlock the phone. It its waking up but the screen stays black, I can unlock it by fingerprint while the screen is black and even take photos or open any app. I also feel the vibration.
So to fix it and actually get into the phone with screen on I have to lock and unlock it again. If I lock the phone after using it normally, it would work the normal way after unlocking it right again. But if I waited some time and I try unlocking, the screen would just stay black for the first attempt of unlocking.
Isnt that weird? xD
Just wanted to share that and maybe someone even got a permanent fix for that
What happens if you turn it on with the home button instead of the power button?
It wakes up the screen like it would normally do, but the first time I presss it, the screen stays black and I have to lock it again and then I can wake up the screen with home button.
Forgot to mention that.
Probably no solution to that I guess?
If I were u I reflash the firmware. Dont know if that fix it but i would give a try, u got nothing to loose
Hello!
I am new to this forum but I havent found an answer anywhere on the internet. I have a Samsung Galaxy S8 plus with a small crack in the screen in the corner(I dont think its relevant). I have had this phone for almost 2 months.
My problem is: If the phone is locked and I press either the home or lock button, the phone vibrates and it works but the screen will still remain black(lock screen will not be displayed). I know the phone works even when the screen is not working because if I swipe on the black screen, the iris scanner will turn on. I can get it to work but only if I try turning on and off the phone a lot of times until the screen finally turns on. After the screen turns on, I dont have any problems with it(just there are a few lines on the screen from the crack).
Any suggestion might help,
Thanks a lot
well its obviously broken, send it in for repair and pay up bi... man.
Hi,
I am after some help please, preferably without reinstalling all over again (root etc).
If i leave my phone to lock after a few minutes of inactivity, the screen stops responding but everything else works:
All hardware buttons work
AOD - works, I can press notifications and the app opens, or hardpress the bottom home button to get to the home screen, but the screen wont respond after.
Fingerprint scanner - works, it bypasses the lock screen but nothing responds
DEX - phone completely responsive via keyboard and mouse
Soft reset - everything works until it has no activity again.
Safe mode - exactly the same, so seems not to be app related.
Just the screen wont respond after passing AOD but phone otherwise functional. Not dropped, no water damage - all good there.
Anyone gone through similar?
Cheers
Good lock 2018 - lock star
Interesting - after spending nearly all day playing about and deciding to post, i remembered there was a lockstar update for me this morning. I disabled the lock screen i built and the phone has been find since. I'll un-install and re-install it, and re-test should someone else have a problem with it and follow up.
Reinstalling LockStar fixed the problem. Case closed.
