lock screen is gone

very strange, i have just noticed that my phone lock screen is now gone.
when i hit the hang up/power off button instead of locking the screen it goes black but when i hit another button it comes right back to the main today screen but no lock screen. bit of a problem when it does in the pocket.
any help??

hi
start - settings - menu -all settings - lock -(untick prompt if phone unused for) ----follow instructions -- reboot
regards
op

hold down your power button and lock the screen using that, then when you put the phone back into sleep it will wake up locked.
You may have to do this everytime after a reboot. Eventually mine sorted itself out and I no longer have to do it

This happened to me after I installed the HTC SMS patch. It also makes it so you can only preview your emails and not go into it by selecting. Installed and hard reset twice thinking it was a fluke. Nope.

i got the lock screen back by going to Settings / Change background of lock screen, then softreset. don't know why it went missing and why i got it back doing this... but it worked.

lock screen option.??

Screen never turn off?So how you turn it off?Always with Power button?BTW,check this first
Go to,
Settings> Display >Screen timeout.I think you have set it to Never Turn Off.So set it to 30 seconds or whatever you want man.

thanks but it's not because of this. after hit thelock button, the screen stops for a second then starts again ... and so without stopping

I would also like to disable the trackball. It has been acting haywire. Makes typing a pain.

[Q] Screen fade after few second - should turn off

After official KK update when I leave my phone with unlock screen it fade down, and instead turning off it stay fade down.
When double tap it, or press power screen turn off.
I'm thinking its some kind of software setting - but can't find any.
I have 15sec till screen turn off but it fade after 11 seconds and stay that way. I tried cover sensors with hand but same thing.
Im on stock KK, D802.
Display > Auto off, bright 60%, Screen Saver 15sec, Screen saver: fade, auto rotate: on, dream settings: off, smart screen: off, smart video: off, led: on
When i turn off screen saver it dosn't fade.
When I change screen saver effect it just fade, so it looks like screen saver is broken in KK ?

Anyone ?

I have the same problem on stock 4.2.2 D80210b-HKG-XX.
But I can fix it on a time when reboot a phone.

Lock Screen won't turn off

Hi there. I'm currently having an issue with my S7 edge where the lock screen won't turn off after some time. The screen does turn off when I'm using the phone normally from the main screen after some time passes but it's just the lock screen I have issues with.
Whenever I charge my phone or just hit the power button once to see notifications on the lock screen, it'll just stay like that until the same time the main screen timeout configured time passes (5 minutes) and this is getting annoying and somewhat draining a little bit more of my battery. Previously it was working fine and the lock screen would turn off after around 10 seconds or so.
Has anyone faced any similar issues with their phones? I haven't tried a factory reset yet but I'd want that to be a last resort.

Clear Background apps.
It happens when you left some games or apps by pressing home button but it keeps running. Hope they will fix this soon.

Have you tried pressing that little button on the right side of the phone? That usually helps.

Yeah...I already tried that with no luck. Even tried uninstalling some recent apps in case one of them was cause but it didn't work either. Any other suggestions?
The issue isn't with turning the phone screen off by pressing the power button, it's the lock screen itself not turning off after a few seconds when it usually does.

I'm having the same problem, had good lock installed thought that may have been the problem but after uninstalling that I'm still having the same problem with samsungs oem lock screen. I too would like an answer or fix for this. also to note, in developer options the stay awake is off and no apps running in the background.

I am having this problem now also. The screen will lock, but the display stays on but dimmed. I can tap the screen and it will get bright. Now I must click the side button every time I set my phone down or the screen will drain the battery.

I'm facing exactly the same issue. When the screen is locked, it stays on for the same time confirmed to when its unlocked. For example, 1 minute, instead of 10-15 seconds.
Any workaround discovered for this?

Did anyone find a solution to this problem?

I thought that I might've been the only one! This problem only appeared on my phone after the Nougat update, and it's extremely annoying as I rely on notifications waking the screen for my main messaging app.
