[Q] Cyanogen Mod Lockscreen problem?(SSOD)

hey everyone!
i recentley flashed the new cyanogen.. the stable 6.1.0..
now whenever i press the power button to lock my phone, for a second the screen brightness changes to lower. and then locks.
but if i want to unlock it quite quickly (within 5 seconds) of locking my phone, this weird white fuzz screen flashes for like 1.5 seconds and then goes to lock screen..
is anyone else having this problem? anyway to fix it?

i get this too. i think if you turn off the animations, that stops the dimming. im not sure about the weird fuzzy stuff though. to be honest, it's never bothered me that much

Yea...started happening to me a few days ago. Try totally disabling the lock screen, and see if it stops. If it does, you can enable it again. Are you using the regular slider lock screen? That's what I was using when it happened. I used face unlock for almost 2 days, and it never happened. I'm not running any lock screen now that I'm home, and its fine. Its just weird that it randomly started happening...I've never used a third party lock screen or even messed with the default settings for it to happen.

Yeah im using the stock lock sliders. I'll play with the lock sliders tonight when I get home and see how that goes.

How do I disable do not disturb?

Problem:
Phone in my pocket, volume down gets bumped into. The next 3 hours I won't get any notifications. This is incredibly annoying and frustrating.
How in the world can I disable volume down activating do not disturb while the screen is off?

First, the power button has to be bumped first, then the volume down button (various times). Too much bumping.

get a case

The power button does not need to be bumped.
While the phone is sleeping (screen off + short wait), press volume down either once or twice and it will go into do not disturb mode. I can also put on full volume while it's sleeping as well.

Tried what you said. Doesn't happpen to me. Using stock rom.

I restarted the phone and the issue hasn't come back yet. If/when it does I'll post again. Seems to be a weird bug

Issue has just came back. Restarting the phone makes it go away. Seems like we have found a solution! I'll keep a log of how often this happens here.

Which rom are you using? Is Double tap to Wake enabled? Are you using an app to lock the screen? Maybe that app is not locking the screen initially but displaying a black image for a short time before turning the display off.

Stock rom.
Ambient display is disabled.
No App. It did this stock out of the box

RMA would be a better option.

Problem has come back! a week delay this time

I would love an option to disable it on the phone entirely I never use it anyway and it occasionally gets turned on by mistake and I end up missing calls.

Found this in another forum - change DND priority settings to allow calls and messages from anyone. Should fix it!

Fingerprint Scanner

This is my first Galaxy phone since the S2 (been with Nexus). I setup the scanner but it doesn't seem to unlock the phone or do anything when i try to touch it. Call me crazy but can't you just pick up the phone when its off(black screen) and touch scanner to open to home page? Seems odd that you would have to use power button to turn on display then unlock every time??
Thats how it works with the 6p, touch the scanner and you're off and running.

That sound you need to return phone for exchange

I've found that you have to be much more accurate with finger placement compared to the 6p. I think it's due to the size & shape of the scanner. It seems to want to learn a smaller area of your finger. The learning process for prints seems clunkier too. Try clearing and relearning your prints

i have the same problem. even cleared it and redid it but still doesnt work. is it a defect? maybe i need to exchange.

Yes. If I leave the phone alone for a while then try to use fingerprint it works. So you have to wait until the phone is ready for it (certain amount of time) instead of just using fingerprint whenever you want to unlock?

Strange. I can lock the phone with the power button and immediately unlock with my fingerprint.

Interesting. Maybe I have some other setting enabled. Are you using other unlocking methods like Iris etc or just fingerprint alone?
Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

do you have it set to lock immediately when screen timeout or power button is pressed?

Works fine for me. Instantly unlocks once my finger is placed on the scanner.
Tried immediately after clicking the power button to lock and when the device is in deep sleep.

Just fingerprint. I wasn't crazy about the iris scanner since I had to lift the phone and line up my eyes.

I had it set to 5 seconds, but I changed it to immediately. Same result either way. Fingerprint unlocks right away.

Thanks. That was the issue. It was set to default 10 minutes. After setting to immediately it's all good. Thanks again!

No problem!! Glad I could help

Nexus Screen turns off and refusing to turn back on.

Hey everyone,
I got a nexus 2 days ago and I love the phone! But theres this annoying problem when the screen is off. When I come to turn it on by the power button it wont turn on at all I know the phone is running but whenever i press the button to turn the screen on it wont come on at all I have to keep pressing the power button numerous of times to get it working and I can feel the phone vibrating when i keep pressing the power button so I obviously know that the phone is working not shut down. Is there anyway to fix that because its quite annoying I got the phone just recently and there hasn't been any problems with it everything works great its just THAT problem I want to resolve.
Oh yeah this issue only occurs at random moments.
Thanks!

Try setting the fingerprint screen lock and see if scanning your fingerprint turns on the screen as a by pass. Not sure what could cause such issue hopefully just some faulty software.

It turns out it was a display problem. I returned the device back to the people who i bought it from and waiting to get a replacement.
