Unlock screen issues

Anyone else having this problem,
Sometimes when I get to unlock screen and swipe across it doesnt react to it the first time and I have to do it again.

Yes. Many, many times. I resolved this by downloading an app that gets rid of the bar from me, so now I press home. Unfortunately this means I have no security on my phone. Yay!

Yea; I mean how much of a problem is it though? I guess it takes a second sometomes to initialize the scanner.

I am not talking about the finger printer reader, also at work I have about 1 second to check phone, so it just gets annoying when I spend that one second trying to get passed the lock screen

Oh! Yea that happens to me sometimes as well; I hate it.
It also "confuses" me when I slide it but there's nothing really being slid you know? Just the color.

Never had a problem with slide to unlock.
The finger scanner though, you have to remember at what angle and what direction you scanned in. Finding a comfortable swipe is better than trying to get a correct register. It's kind of like practicing golf swings.

I didn't have this issue till I did a factory reset, now the lock screen is soo slow.

Was going to say same thing. I did my 1.5.7 update a little bit ago and really having seconds from when I hit the power button until my screen wakes up. I can actually hit the button and scan my finger before it comes on. Anyone else having this type of slowdown?
Sorry for bringing up a old thread but kinda based on what I am dealing with.

My Atrix keeps waking itself up after putting it to sleep and STAYING on...
It is killing the battery life. This has only happened since the update...
Solutions?

I had that once before on my old build. Not sure what did it but it did end up stopping after a little bit myself. I think it was an app that was doing it

I would check to see if any apps are causing your phone to wake up; I remember this happening on my Captivate last year. I don't remember what the problem was but I knew it stopped after a week or so.

Something I have noticed with 1.5.7 the supposed fix to allow the phone to sleep while charging was a sinple change in the setting under development. I also have noticed when you place the phone on the charger if the lock screen is up and you are using the fingerprint scanner. you can never ( or should I say rarely) get it to stay asleep as it keeps reading the button press as a finger swipe. The only solution I have found is to make the the phone is on the home screen and press the button to make it sleep. then it stays asleep

I have had things like this happen to me, for a while I was using GingerBlur and I thought thats why the phone was glitching but when I went back to stock I had it glitch like this a few times on me also... I almost feel like my Atrix is running a beta...

I have not had any issues with the slider itself but i have observed this for a few days now. When i slide to unlock the screen, it goes directly to the contacts page and just freezes for a while. no other buttons work except hitting the home button and then ot works as usual. Any pointers? i recently rooted my phone and flashed it with the Alien rom [build #4 - 2.6.32.9]

Home button opens clock

Hi!
I just had a very weird bug. Suddenly when I pressed the home button the stock clock app (which I think is useless by the way) opened. When I pressed again the phone didn't switch to my home screen but stayed in the clock app.
When I tried to put the phone in standby and wake it up again my lock screen didn't show up, it was the stupid clock again.
I rebooted my phone and now everything is like it should be...
I'm running 2.3.4 (not rooted) with Launcher Pro.
Anyone else familiar with this problem?

I believe that you can set home button behavior in Launcher Pro. Not sure about the lock screen though.

I've had the same issue, always resolves itself though, especially after a reboot. Odd bug but doesn't occur enough to bother me.
But I agree the clock app seems largely useless, I have no wish to leave my phone screen on all night, and I can access alarm clock, gallery etc fine without.

I had this issue in January when I first got the phone, I guess on 2.3.1 or so. Anyways, the buttons did random things, and launching App A would result in App C launching instead, if you get what I mean. For example, I'd try to open Dolphin browser and Youtube would come up instead. I'm not sure why this occurred, and a simple restart fixed it. I wouldn't worry too much unless it keeps happening.
I only had it happen to me the one time.

I'm also experiencing this on my Nexus S, First the Car/Dock Mode appeared out of nowhere. It literally just launched itself while I was working at my desk! Now the home button pen up the clock App. Windows can't even detect the Nexus S now. No "you phone is plugged, mount it?" dialog box.
help!

Okay so I think I may have found a solution. I set my Nexus S beside my iPad 2 last night before going bed. I think it may have been the caused of magnets. yup. magnets. So I tried contacting both together. The iPad 2 reacted and lit up its screen and voila the Nexus S home button now works as a HOME and not a CLOCK button! I know its a little weird, may just be a coincidence for all I know! But mine works fine now.
Try it and let us know if this works for you!

Let me resurrect a dead thread here with a new solution. I began building my roms from source on the NS4G and immediately this bug appeared in them. Funny thing is only on my phone none of the testers had this issue. I decided to overwrite desk clock with desk clock pro on the market for free, and it knocked out the bug, and I still have my alarms for work.

[Q] Verizon G2 buggy touch screen?

Is anyone else having issues with the touch screen triggering at different places when touched, or randomly knocking off the phone when you're not even touching the phone? I turned off my knockon feature, but I would see my notification bar be highlighted without me touching it. Just wondering if i'm the only one with this problem.

No issues at all.

this glitch is kinda what happened with mine, and i confirmed what it was doing
in swiftkey, you know how tehre's the option to change the long press delay? well i was holding down that little bar to drag it down, and i noticed while holding it inplace, the numbers were going crazy..it was going up/donw/up/down incredibly fast, instead of just staying stationary..i was like, wtf? so i went to dev options, turned on show touch points and the trace so i could see the axis, and i noticed it was freaking out. holding my finger in place, it was as if it was moving around like crazy.
so i did a factory reset and flashed the clean verizon rom scott posted, and it hasn't done it since. no idea wtf was going on. i realized it was messing up bc my typing became really bad, and it would enter things i didn't type.

Touch Screen has a mind of its own - bad digitizer??
I woke up today to find my screen on, showing the lock screen which I found odd. Now most of the time the screen has a mind of its own where basically its like an invisible finger is randomly touching the screen at a frantic place. This opens up apps, moves icons around, calls people if the phone app manages to get opened, etc. After struggling to override the "invisible finger" I've done a reboot from the power menu, powered off from the power menu and left it off for 10 minutes before turning off and held down the power and volume down button to reboot. None of these methods fixed the problem0
Please note I did accept the Verizon update but was good on it for a day prior to this issue. I have installed minimal 3rd party apps and can't attribute the problem to starting right after installing something. I do use the Ghost 100 wireless charger but have been using this from day 1 without issues so I don't think that'a problem either. The Verizon store sold me this charger and although its not listed as being compatible on Verizon's website I have a feeling that's cause the phone is so new. The charger is WPC certified. Being that this problem is intermittent (happens way more often than not) I think it may be a software issue and I'm about to do a hard factory reset. If that doesn't work then I'm convinced its a hardware issue and probably a bad digitizer. I've been very gentle with the phone - haven't dropped it, no moisture or water exposure, not rooted, etc. I'll report back if the factory reset works. Anyone else having the same or a similar issue?

Super buggy lockscreen!!!

You're not alone! My G2 has been driving me crazy the last couple of days when trying to use the lockscreen. It'll spaz out and either skip a connection of display a whole different pattern than I drew. It will also shut off the screen and reset the "wrong password" counter. I love this phone but this is super aggravating!

Hard reset didn't help at all. I went to a Verizon store and they exchanged for a new one and determined I had a hardware failure.

[Q] Unresponsive Screen

Hello everyone, I am currently having a problem with my Note 3 from T-Mobile USA (White, 32GB) when the screen all of the sudden becomes unresponsive to finger touches and instead it picks up and selects/taps random objects on my homescreen, browser or whatever window/app I am using, but as soon as I take out the S-Pen it registers it flawlessly. That also happens when the S-Pen is already removed, same scenario, no finger touch response yet it works with the S-Pen. When it happens usually, I am not able scroll, select anything, and the capacitive buttons don't work either unless I lock the device and unlock it. Anyone else is having this problem? I did some research and apparently a lot of Galaxy devices does that.

send it back to the service centre....the s pen is being detected even when it is plug in. the screen is designed to not respond to touch when it detects the tip of the s pen.

Yup. I have the same problem. Used to happen about once a day. Called T-Mobile, talked to tech support (very nice) and they said it likely an incompatibility issue with an app I have. They said even though this is an android device, a lot of times apps have issues working on new devices. I uninstalled the app I had been using when I started noticing the issue (CSR Racing) and I haven't had the problem in days. Then I installed PBA Bowling and got the same glitch last night. Gunna uninstall that game and see if it fixes the problem, if not I'll call back.
I didn't test anything with the S-Pen though.

I noticed that sometimes happens when the WatchOn app crashes. I disabled it and I'll see how it goes.

I'm having the same issue like you too. Exactly the same scenario like what you mentioned.
And I even factory reset twice with stock apps and still have the same problem!
I can't even send a proper SMS when they keyboard type by itself.

Yes! Sometimes it takes an hour to happen, sometimes it happens three times within five minutes. Disabling WatchOn didn't work, and I don't think SwiftKey is the problem since it happens even during browsing on Chrome :/

I posted the same thing a week ago and seems like there are people encountering the same issues.

This sucks.

:good:

Decided to order a replacement. That's ridiculous. I hope they don't send me a beaten up one.

After figuring it out for a while, it seems like it hanged when we "touch" using our finger.
But when I use the S-pen it works. Don't understand why

I found a solution for myself, i had the same problem and realize that putting phone into rice overnight for 7-8h solve problem, you should try.. I've been facing this problem for about 3 months and i tried every solution from every site.

Screen Won't Wake and Severe Lag

When trying to wake my phone the soft keys turn on but the screen wont. I have to hit the button over and over or do a battery pull.
I am experiencing severe lag. When typing it takes up to 3 seconds for a typed word to appear. Simple tasks like scrolling, pulling down the status bar, or launching the SMS app take forever to execute or freeze the device.
Has anyone else had this issue?

In case anyone else has this problem-- I got my phone exchanged, made the new phone identical to the old, and no longer have this issue. This leads me to believe it is a hardware problem.
