PA Lockscreen Keybaord Bug - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the latest build flashed. The Jan 21st one.
Im using Expanded Desktop mode with Pie.
When I unlock my phone, randomly the keyboard will be there. Funny thing is, my lock screen isnt even a key pincode, its a pattern unlock.
Its been happening 3/5 times I unlock my phone. Kind of annoying cause Pie doesnt help from making it go away. I have to switch to the camera widget, let it fill the screen, use pie to back out and then boom its gone.
If I had enough of a post count I would post in the dev thread but I dont, so I was hopping someone else has any ideas?
Thanks

Known bug. Don't lock your phone with the keyboard up and it won't happen.

Q: X2 Lockscreen hangs

Hi!
I have problem with lockscreen and locked phone.
When phone is in standby and locked and I'm trying to unlock it, it hangs in lockscreen. I can move slider to unlock phone but nothing happens and it just stays locked.
This happens sometime few times in one day and sometimes is everything ok for a week. When this happens I have to take out battery and put it back in and it's very very annoying.
Is there something to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance.
Lock screen
I have same problem, but no solution yet
simple..just set a password at ur x2..and then,hola..it will not happen again..its also happen to me last time..almost everyday..
android lockscreen
Me simple installed android lockscreen, nice looking one, but no landscape(no problem for me), just search this forum if ya want
You can solved this problem by go to Start>Settings>Auto Lock> uncheck Enable Auto Lock. I have the same hang out like your. This way helpful for me. When you need to lock your phone just Start and tap on Clock icon.
Thanks

1.8.3. Issues: Screen and Finger Scanner

Since 1.8.3 I have noticed 2 very annoying issues:
1: Several times a day, my Atrix will stop detecting a finger swipe. No error, just no response. I must reboot to regain finger scanning.
1: Screen Timeout: The screen will frequently, but not consistently go off after only a couple seconds of idle time. It doesn't dim first and if you hit the power button it comes back to the screen you were on, not the lock screen.
Both of these issues happened with vanilla 1.8.3 and with Gingerblur and NEVER before the update.
Anyone else?
Fingerpring issue for me as well but also the button sometimes wont put my phone in sleep and ill have to pull battery cause its unresponsive but never the screen issue you're having. This update is full of bugs they need another update fast just to fix what this one broke. Oh and I think about 90% of people that updated have reported an issue with the fingerprint scanner
But thats just my 2 cents

If both of these issues are known and have been reported, feel free to lock or delete. I searched and didn't find any thread titles about this, but did not read every 1.8.3 thread.
I met the fingerprint issue too after 1.8.3 upgrade

i had fingerprint sensor issues too, when i had stored fingerprints and restored settings for fingerprint sensor using Titanium backup. A wipe data may solve this(int titanium backup).
in 183 there is a new setting in Location And Security!
The phone is not necessary anymore to lock, when the screen goes off.
the screen can go off in 5 mins(in display settings)
and the mobile can locked in 10 mins(in location and security)!
i like this setting!

I don't see it either in 1.8.3. The item "Security lock timer" that would be used for this is disabled (grayed out).
fingerprint issue here too just experienced for the first time yesterday.
i swipe it and there is no response.
good that there is a list of people here with the same issue so motorola can acknowledge it as a legitimate bug and hopefully fix it
Can someone else verify this? When I change the screen timeout from 15 to 30 seconds, then reboot the phone, it switches back to 15 seconds.

this sounds like the GingerBlur 3.0 bug...upgrading to 3.1 fixed this for me
I am having issues with WidgetLocker and the fingerprint recognition, has anyone else experienced this issue with WidgetLocker? I have been having no issues, with the fingerprint scanning, once I turned off WidgetLocker.
Yes.
You are right!
I now recorded again fingprnts and that setting grayed out!!
I didn't used fingerprints cs some probs I had after restoring settings from backups, and waited to have 183 with 3.0 gingerblur..

I found that powering off the device, pulling the battery for a few minutes, re-installing the battery, turning the Atrix back on, then wiping and re-doing the fingerprints permanently fixed my issue.
This issue is not the same issue as when TiBu backs up fingerprint data. This is an issue with the scanner being none responsive. OP this issue has bot be talked about here but on the Moto forums it's been reported by many users.
But thats just my 2 cents
Sent from my Atrix
I also had my first fingerprint issue since owning this phone for the first time yesterday after getting 183. Never had it ever before...somethings wrong with this update if multiple people are getting it for the first time now.

add me to the bad fingerprint group
Same issue with Widget Locker. Sometimes when I hit power, I can swipe finger and all is good. Other times, swipe does nothing - I have to slide the screen lock, then I can swipe (or enter PIN).
Can't seem to find any pattern to when it works or doesn't, but it does do this pretty often. Good thing is, it doesn't completely lock up - if I don't get the double-vibrate for a bad finger swipe, I know that I need to do the screen slider first.
Just to add to the people on the list, I experienced the fingerprint issue once, hasn't happened since though
the best thing to do is actually complain on the motorola support forum ...
i already did
https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/50138?tstart=0
moto engineers actually look at that forum ...
So I read this thread and thought to myself, "Self, Thank G-d you don't have this problem." And then, of course, I jinxed myself. Add me to the fingerprint issues list!!
I did a power-off, battery remove, battery install, power-on, remove fingerprint data, reboot, then redo fingerprint calibration. If you don't hear back from me, assume it resolved the issue....otherwise, I'll report back....
How absurd?!

Haptic feedback, vibration and green trace screen lock pattern gone

I am rooted and a problem just popped up out of the blue. I received a replacement Fascinate several days ago and reinstalled Evil Fascination 3.6. The next day my text messages from the previous 24 hours were gone. Then I noticed the haptic feedback and vibration were gone. I checked the settings and all were set okay. I rebooted a couple times and then decided to go to Com Rom Ultimate Kangbang 2.0, then immediately flashed the 2.1 update thinking that would surely fix it but it didn't. Same problems. Is it the phone or should I try to flash something different? Thanks!
Thought I would follow up my own post. Still not sure what happened to the vibrate but I couldn't get any answers from the smartest people on the planet when it comes to android phones so I had to assume it was a malfunction of the device. Assurion swapped it out for me. I re-rooted, flashed comrom ultimate kangbang 2.1 and I'm back in business. Hopefully no one else has experienced this.
Oddly though, the green trace that used to follow me on the screen lock pattern still doesn't trace, but it unlocks when I swipe it appropriately so maybe that's a software update to froyo, I don't know....

There's a toggle under "Location and Security" that makes the trace visible/invisible.
Wow, thanks! I never saw that before and what's weird is when I just went to look for that toggle it wasn't there. There was only an option to show passwords as they were being typed. So I decided to change the pattern and sure enough it showed up. I really don't like it being on, after it was gone it was nice knowing anyone couldn't watch my pattern. Anyway, thanks, nice to know it's a feature.

AT&T 4.4.2 Rooted Moto X unlocks after missed call

I cannot find a solution for this but the issue is when I miss a phone call when the phone is in my pocket, it automatically unlocks, and drains my battery.
I'm running 4.4.2 rooted on my AT&T Moto X, and I thought 4.4.2 would fix it. I do not have a screen lock
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Hmm sounds like a strange issue...
You mean you don't have a screen pin/code/password, or that you don't have even the sliding unlock button?
Have a look in Settings > Display
What timeout do you have listed under sleep? The default is 30seconds, but it goes all the way up to 30min (which I would expect could definitely drain some battery...
Let us know and we may be able to help you further...

I do not have a password lock on my phone, Just the active display slide to unlock the phone. When a call comes in, I get the display to answer or ignore, but if I leave it go, it will just unlock to the home screen, then after a short time, the screen will shut off.
Thanks!

Ok, that is definitely not normal. Are you BL unlocked, or are you using the Pie root exploit? Or Safestrap?
I would suggest flashing the entire 4.4.2 AT&T SBF file using the manual method as described in the Return to Stock thread:
DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU ARE USING SAFESTRAP
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-moto-x-return-to-100-stock-using-t2446515
You will download the 4.4.2 AT&T SBF file from here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0
As I seem to be telling people often, the only way to fix a corrupted filesystem (OR modifications made by previous exploits like Pwn/SlapMyMoto and MotoWpNoMo) is to flash the entire SBF file. Performing a "factory reset" cannot repair a damaged filesystem.
Often, it will fix ALL of your problems.
Good Luck
Did you install any apps, that plays with those settings after rooting?
thanks for the replies guys...I don't think so on the apps after root. IIRC, it did this before rooting the phone, so I thought it was a 4.4 issue.
it will unlock to the home page after every call, unless I answer, or ignore the call.
I'm using Xposed with these modules:
App Settings
GravityBox
HideCarrierMotoX
MinMinGuard
SoftkeysFadeMod
Twisty Switch
Xblast Tools
XPrivacy.
Again, I do not have a lock screen..when I try to enable one it does something funky with my electronic buttons, even after reboot. Not sure if it's because of SoftKeysFadeMod, or what..
I'm surprised others have not had this issue.
Thanks for you help.

May I ask if I understand correctly? You have no security setting, only active display enabled. If this is the case, this seems like normal behavior.
You screen turns on when you get a call, you don't answer. Until the screen time out kicks in, you see your home screen.
Once it goes dark, you should have an active display notification.
What Am i missing or what behavior are you expecting?

you pretty much hit it on the head...I was hoping the phone's display would not unlock to my desktop if I miss a call, but rather show the missed call on the active display.
I'm going to enable a security setting, and see if this changes the outcome.
Thanks
After enabling the swipe to unlock, I no longer have an issue with my phone unlocking when I miss a call. That seems to be the solution.
Thanks for your help

Lost face unlock with pie

Anyone using pie notice that face unlock doesn't work anymore? Phone now defaults to fingerprint unlock. It used to give the option for face or fingerprint.
Tried using improve face matching, but that will get it to work for a bit then goes back to fingerprint only. Same with switching face unlock off then back on. Anyone with a solution to this?

I am having the same issue
Mine is working. I just got my phone so I don't know what the process was before pie. But I have to wake the screen then it sees my face then I have to swipe to open. Kind of inconvenient.

I got mine working again by
settings-> Apps->Trusted Face->Storage->Clear Storage
then went to the face unlock settings and removed and re added my face.

Didn't really stick. It'd work for a min or two then revert back to fingerprint. Thanks for the help though.

Check that...it looks to be working again. But it's inconsistent. Sometimes when I press the power button, the fingerprint image shows; other times, the face image shows. Definitely a bug that they should try to sort out.
