lock screen missing

hi all...
the lock screen on my hd2 has gone missing... pressing the red button directly brings me into the sense UI... any suggestions what went wrong?
thanks!

any help with above issue pls?

Have you recently installed then uninstalled a custom lockscreen? Look at my sticky (link in my sig) and towards the bottom of the first post you'll see some attached cabs. download the one that says Lockscreen HD2 original then install it. It should bring you back to normal.

hi there...
i did stumble upon your sticky and downloaded the lockscreen HD2 original cab file yesterday itself. I have soft reset the device after the installation but still there is no lock screen. Once the device boots up its directly in the Sense UI. Anything else I can do to fix OR might have done wrong?
Thanks for your input!
** Also, to answer your question, no i have not installed or uninstalled any custom lockscreen.. I am still in the learning stages of flashing a ROM and once I get comfortable with all the steps involved, I'll take the plunge but at this point the device is in stock condition except for the apps I have installed. Thanks

Thanks for the link - it kind of helped, which is to say - when i go to start menu and tap on "lock" it does lock the screen but after unlocking it when i press the red button to shut the display and again press it the lockscreen doesnt come up.. i'd hate to click twice before I press the red button only to make sure it doesnt come to life and call my aunt while in my pocket :-/
I tried reinstalling the cab from your sticky to the device (coz I wasnt sure where i had installed it previously) but the problem persists and No I havent installed any BSB or any other tweaks (atleast not intentionally)

So when you go to start , etc, then lock, after you unlock it you're presented with the lock screen Options. Are those set accordingly? Once set, it'll ask you to save changes, then click ok in top right corner.

Okay so here's what I do -
- tap on start menu
- bottom left soft key says "lock"
- tap on lock
- device lockscreen comes on
- now if i press the red button to switch off and then press it again, the lockscreen stays.
-but if i slide the lock on the lockscreen to reveal the sense UI, close the device and then switch it on again, it doesnt show me the lockscreen
does that help you help me?
thanks a ton for your patience!

Do you have cookies home tab/chteditor or bsb tweaks installed? If you do that might be causing the fail.

No I dont. I dont have any of those installed. I want to install the cookies but havent installed any mods yet. The only things I've installed on there are apps.
One of them being Resco Explorer which has a Task manager with it. Could that have made my screen disappear?

I don't think Resco Task Manager is the problem. I have it installed, and I still have the Lock screen that displays when I hit the red key.

Listen...
Once you go to the start menu, select SETTINGS. Then tap the MENU soft key in the bottom right and select ALL SETTINGS. You should see LOCK in the top-right. Tap it, this locks your screen. Immediately unlock. You are now at the LOCKSCREEN OPTIONS page. Set accordingly. Save. Tap OK in top right. Done. Drink a beer.

I already tried this before.. Tapping on the Lock icon in the "ALL SETTINGS" does not lock the screen. Instead, it directly takes me to the password screen (maybe what you referred to as lockscreen options) where my first choice is a checkbox for "Prompt if phone unused for ___ mins and the other option is to choose a password.

Yeah that's the stuff. That's where you enable it. Check the box, set the password (pin).
Sorry for not realizing you had been there. If setting and saving those options doesn't work, not sure what to tell you.
Are you connected to an exchange server?
(you have to make sure after you hit the obvious SAVE button that pops up, you have to hit the OK button in the top right the screen.)

Yes i do! I flashed the latest Theme of Community Hero Mix [Theme .zip and metamorph] Community Hero Mix] !
And yes the bug started since i flashed it. But Binary100100 don't knew what's the problem...

It's an error in custom animations I have uploaded, since I haven't created animations I can't fix it, but if its bothering you so much, you can flash stock animations just for lockscreen, it should fix it.

I wasn't aware that the problem was with the custom animations... good to know.... but I don't think that the problem is really severe enough to pay much mind to it.
I'm moving this to General because it's not really development related.

Not sure this is on topic but i'll give it a go.
My phone has just updated to 2.2.1 (thanks vodafone) and now has a new unlock screen when it first wakes up. This involve two sliders, one that appears to be a screen unlock, and the other something to do with silent/volume.
The phone unlock would e good, if i couldn't just press the menu button a second time to achieve the same end. Can the menu button be cancelled, in order to make the unlock bar useful?
Also, is the other slider bar customisable?
Failing this, is there anywhere that actually goes through all of the main changes, so I can educate myself?
Cheers, Steve

Sounds like your using the newest Cyanogen 6.1.0 rom.
That's all customizable in Settings > Cyangenmod Settings

I can't find anything under settings about Cyangenmod but my system info says:-
Android version 2.2.1
Baseband 62.50sj.20.17u_2.22.28.25
kernal 2.6.32.9-27237-gbe746fb
build number FRG83D
Does this narrow it down?
If it helps, settings wallpapers, does not then send me off to animated wallpapers. So maybe it's not a full 2.2.1 because vodafone realise that they stripped out too much memory/cpu originally that its not man enough to run some stuff.
Cheers.

I don't know then, it's just a standard Vodafone Magic, with latest upgrade to version 2.2.1.
It's not rooted or anything. Just out of the box.

Okay, after re-reading your post I now understand that you're just using plain stock. No custom rom. The sliding bars are not customizable.
I still don't understand what you are asking regarding the Menu button.

I am just confused. Put it this way. In order to wake up the phone and start using it, I press the menu button. This opens up the unlock screen, cool.
Here's the problem, do I now move my thumb from the menu button and swipe it across the screen to unlock my phone..........or do I just press the menu button again. It does the same thing. So what is the point of the unlock swipe?

I suppose depending on the circumstances it might be easier to press a button that you can feel than something on a touchscreen that you can't.
There have been times when I have been wearing my gloves at work that the touchscreen doesn't respond to well while wearing them. However hitting the menu button works fine for exiting the lock screen.
How's that for an acceptable answer?

Solution for the CRT screen off animation

Hello there.
i did like very much the crt animation on the 2.3.3 firmware but now in 2.3.4 i dont have it.
so i searched alot and the only thing i was find is to change some files on system...
well iam not an expert to change the files all the time exept for the mods to reboot the phone and the widgets on my top...so accidently yesterday i did find an app tha iam happy to share with you...
i install the app Screen off and lock and i find it very usefull and i have the crt animation
here is the market link: https://market.android.com/details?...SwxLDEsImNvbS5rYXRlY2NhLnNjcmVlbm9mZmxvY2siXQ..
If someone of the admins find this post unusefull or for any other reason...plz delete this post without any warning.

Would have been great if you could use the "Search" function before posting something. This application has been specified in numerous places.

if iam wrongand this post is unusefull i have say that admins can delete that post without any warning

This doesn't work, or solve the problem I think. It only works when you switch the screen off by pressing the app, not by the actual power button

You are right, it only works if you switch off the screen by hitting the short cut. I am still looking for a solution with the physical off button.

yes i notice that too.. the physical button is not working only by the app shortcut...anyway i use that shortcut i think its easier for me too lock the phone when iam in hurry or when i driving.

Long press on the home screen and select launcher actions. Then select Open/Close App Drawer (may not be the exact names). Then drag the icon back to the taskbar.

Freaked me out the first time I did it too...

Seems like i'm late for the question, congratulation that you got your problem solved, have fun

Double tap screen off like g3 with nova.

Not sure if anyone using nova knows this or anyone interested or anyone wants to get nova or whatever reason just likes to have this feature.
First step is install nova and prime (I think it requires this because we need the gesture)
Go to app store and download Screen off and lock by katecca. (You might wanna activate the app first) .
Once downloaded go to nova setting. Go under gesture and buttons. Select double tap. On the top tab select app. Scroll down to screen off (under s). When you first select it. It will have to activate the app first and just hit yes/activate it. (Unless you activated it first)
Once done..
You can now double tap anywhere to get screen off instead of the status bar.

Awesome! Thanks for the tip!

Thanks! Good find till a dev can get the wake/sleep working without issues!

Now if only the back button was on the right hand side so when I use the phone in my right hand I can reach it.

If you have greenify you can link doubletap to that also.

That's what I've been doing for a while myself... Double tap will Hibernate + Lock phone aka Sleep.
Works very well

how about the other way?

G3 allows you to open and unlock phone? with tap patterns. Would love❤ to see that on this phone?.

Works but really does lock the phone so Smart Lock doesn't function when you're in a trusted location.. anyone know of a workaround or an app similar that will work with Lollipop?

Validus ROM has double table status bar to sleep. You can download it on their google + page.

I know this thread is a little old. Is this still the best double tap to sleep method through Nova?
