After updating my Samsung galaxy note, every time I hit the power button to lock the screen, it keeps flashing/blinking every 2 seconds asking swipe to unlock without me touching the screen. I would like to know if anybody is experiencing the same problem and if this is a software related issue, or a hardware related issue!
Thanks

I press the power button to lock the screen, then several minutes later the tab will go in an endless loop of switching the screen on and off and on and off again until I actually restart the device.
Note I can still unlock the screen and use the tab normally, but as soon as I lock the screen this loop starts, not always, but most of the tries.
Makes it damn near impossible to fall asleep at night.
Does anyone else have this problem and know how to fix it ?
It's a 10.1v and I used Chainfire's method to flash and unlock and then rooted it. It has been doing this before the root/unlock/flash.
EDIT: Ok I found a more sure way to replicate this, any time I just leave the Tab to lock the screen for it self then this loop starts happening.
No matter which way I lock it after that, the loop of the screen switching on and off, just keeps going. When I lock it by pressing the power key or just leave it to lock it self.
It can be cause by any app trying to wake screen. Some media players have such a functionallity
Same problem
Having the same issue with my Samsung GT 10.1v
This is so annoying, I'm considering taking it back to Vodacom.
Are you guys experiencing LCD screen leakage?
I'm not to bothered with the leakage, as it's not a LED or AMOLED display. As for the Lockscreen loop I figure it would go away as soon as we can get an update to Samsung's 3.1
Hi everyone, first thanks to all the people who are willing to help others with their S4 problems!
I have Telus version of Galaxy S4 and it is basically untouched (i.e. no root no modifications).
I have had a problem with the lock screen for past couple of days and tried searching the forum but could not find any solutions.
The problem is this:
In lockscreen, I cannot swipe to unlock the device from time to time. No matter what I do, pressing power button to get to lock screen again, it just won't respond to my swipe motion to unlock the device. This forces me to hold the power button and then click on restart. For some reason it will responds to me clicking on restart but cannot read my swipe motions.
Does anyone else have any similar problems? If so, any thoughts on the solution?
The annoying thing is I cannot replicate the problem but it will happen once or twice a day.
Any thoughts are appreciated!

i have the exact same issue on my rogers S4 it doesnt make any sense. I randomly cant swipe to unlock my phone but i am able to swipe between lock screen widgets and just like you i have to restart which also responds.
Hey all,
I have my phone set at pattern unlock, the automatic lock on power button disabled and a 2 minute delay for an idle lock.
Most (but not all) of the times when I press the home button after I put it to sleep using the power button (but before the 2 minute idle time) the screen lights up, my last application is visible for a second and the it pops to the "Latest Applications" screen.
It's driving me crazy...
I've had 3 stock roms on my galaxy s4 and two kernels, currently running the adam 1.2 and the latest indonesia rom, and I've had this issue on all of them.
Does anybody else have this issue? Do you know how to solve it?
Hi I have had my now 4 (UK variant) for 2 months now and have mostly found it to be great. Recently I have suddenly started to notice since issues ranging from the screen not waking up when you press either the power or home button, or they software keyboard doesn't disappear making it impossible to enter my lock code.
What gives?
Anyone else have a similar problem, solutions etc pls?
Thanks

Hello guys.
I am experiencing two strange situations on my galaxy s7 edge.
First, whenever I unlock it to the home screen both buttons ( back and multitask) keeps on flickering/flashing randomly. They just turn themselves on and off all the time.
The only thing I manage to do was disabling them (with an app) , so they woundn't turn on at all.
Second problem, I can't seem to put the automatic lock screen mode, meaning that if I don't press the lock button on the side, the screen just stays on no matter if it´s on the home screen or some open up app.
I wonder if any of you had ever seen something like this before. It´s not a massive issue, but it has been bothering me a lot. =/
Thanx
