So I run S2U2 and have it set to blank screen on talk. This works great since I occasionally would hang up on people or press buttons when my face touched the soft buttons on the screen. However, I also have Key Lock setup so my phone doesn't randomly come on all the time and drain the battery while it's in the holster. I also had a couple occasions (before turning on key lock) where S2U2 didn't come on and I ended up calling someone without knowing it.
Anyway, the problem I run into now is that when I'm done on the phone and want to hang up, the end call button is locked out and I have to first press power to get the screen back and then hang up. Is there something in between where I can have both the power and hang up button enabled while locked? Optimally the hang up button would only be enabled during a call so it wouldn't wake up the phone when not in use. A search brought up products like AE Buttons, but I didn't see an option to do what I want.
Thanks,
Gonz
With all that screen to touch, having this thing wake up in your pocket (or holster in my case) it bad - it registers keypresses all over the place, and so far it's deleted appointments and other fun stuff for me.
There is the screen lock (hold down right-most softkey a few seconds) but for me at least if an alert wakes the phone, the screen activates and looks normal, but all hardkeys are disabled. Can't even shut the phone down, have to hit the soft reset button, so conveniently located under the battery cover (argh, talk about dumb design choices...)
So anyone have any ideas on the screen lock? I'd even be willing to dedicate the left-most soft-key long-press to a third party lock, as long as it works properly.
u can use s2u2 IPHONE like screen lock
Hold the hang up button to lock, to unlock press the word unlock and a screen will apear saying To unlock device Tap unlock.
Yeah I did that, the hold hang up button thing... that's what's partly unlocking itself, which is a pain to say the least.
Gonna try Throttlelock. Haven't found any really Manila-lookalike skin yet but it seems to do what I want - lock the device - and even adds a little security.
And what about just clicking once on the power button after locking the device using the hold hang up thing?
Doesn't it does what you need? Press again to wake up the mobile?

No, what happen is: I hold down end call to get the device to lock. Then I tap the power button to close down the screen too.
However, a reminder kicks in and that brings the screen back online AND live, so touching it can do stuff. But, the device is still somehow "locked"... except the only thing that is well and truly locked are all the buttons. Power button, volume buttons, even the softkeys on the front, none of them do anything, but the screen works only too well.
There is now way I found to recover from that state except a soft reset. That boots the device - in locked mode, so I have to hit Unlock and then tap the button on the middle of the screen.
I need a lock that is lock, ie it doesn't activate the screen or buttons no matter what, until I unlock it myself. Looks like Throttlelock may be the answer though.
It's happening every now and then, but sometimes when I press the lock screen button to unlock the screen, the lock screen comes up but I can't unlock it, it just ignores my finger like if the digitalizer was off. I have to press the button twice (to turn it off and on again) to make it work.
Any ideas?
I don't know if I pressed the lock button while the active screen was activating or what.. but any time I tried to unlock the phone afterwards i was met with black screen.. but still got haptic feedback when pressing the area of the screen where the nav bar is.
i then held down the lock button to get the power menu (which i still couldnt see due to the black screen), tapped where i was guessing the power down button was, and then tried turning it back on, which worked.
hasnt happened since but it kinda scared me that it even happened in the first place and kinda pissed me off that a bug like this happened without any rooting ish being done.
Hi all,
Just got a used LG G6 is excellent condition. Everything is working fine except I'm having a few problems unlocking the phone.
Basically, waking the screen is really hard. I have every possible way of waking the screen turned on, but none of them work.
To get the screen to wake I have to press the power button once slowly, then press it again to wake the screen, then if I press again it will pick up the fingerprint and unlock.
KnockON doesn't work at all, the volume key shortcuts do nothing, face unlock does nothing, and just picking up and trying to use fingerprint doesn't work.
Also, Always On Display doesn't work either (totally black screen)
The power button seems to function fine as I only need to press it once to lock the phone.
Any ideas what might be causing this?
