[Q] Screen lock stuck, immediately after waking up the phone - new phone - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, as I said in the thread title i have a problem with the screen lock after waking up the phone. It remains stuck, until i push the power button again to close the screen, and then it's working like it should. The problem appears one at 6 or 7 times i wake the phone.
I have tried to change the screen lock method, but i get the same problem, with the pattern activated.
I have also changed two roms, so I guess this is not the issue. It is more likely that an app is the cause of this, but i have the same apps as I had on my Galaxy Nexus, so it is difficult to figure out what is the app causing this. I have paranoid android with franco kernel.
Does anyone have a clue about what the problem could be?

Hi,
Please tell me if I have well understand :
When your phone is in standby mode (screen off) and you push power button, the screen lock appear but you can't unlock it ?
That mean the screen doesn't respond some time (1 to 6-7) after wake-up the phone ?
I don't know why but I want to ask you if you have under-volted your phone ?

Hi, you have understand well, that is the problem i am facing. It becomes unresponsive quite often.
No, i did not change anything regarding the cpu, nor the settings in franco kernel.

That's strange, I have the same settings as you (PA + Franco) without any problems.
I know that Franco's Kernels are great but this is the way that I should follow to try to found the problem.
Do a full wipe and re-install PA + PA Gapp.
Don't install Franco Kernel right now and do the test with PA stock kernel.
If the test is OK, the problem come from Franco's kernel -> ask in Franco's thread
If the problem is still there -> ask in PA thread
You haven't any other problem with your touch screen ? Only with the lock screen ?

Thank you, i will try the stock kernel, as I only tried franco's.
Nop, no other problem with the screen, only this one with the lock screen, and it is becoming annoying

Hmmm, that is highly unlikely, as PA is the second rom i have tried, with rasbelly i had the same problem.
I am now trying the stock kernel.

I have flashed the stock kernel, for a while it seemed to work better, but 5 minutes ago the screen lock remained stuck again.
I have made a full wipe for the instalation of PA coming from rasbelly, one week ago, still the same problem. As I said, i am almost sure that the problem is caused by an app, but it is quite difficult to see which app is causing this....

screen unlock
Hey I had a similar problem. Do you have Lightflow installed? When I had stock everything, enabling additional LEDs including the LCD backlight had no issues. But apparently with PA and Franco kernel it switches off backlight when you unlock screen. Light flow switches it off. Try disabling that control of LCD backlight maybe? That worked for me

[Q] HTC Wildfire Wake Up Screen Problem

Hi people!!!
I have a problem with my screen (I think it's a problem ).
When I press Power button to unlock the screen, at the moment before turning on the screen I see "snowy" screen and after that "snowy" screen the lock screen starts normally. I have rooted the phone and installed CM6 and OpenFire, with both of these ROMs I had this problem. And yeah, I clocked it on 691 Mhz. Please help, it's driving me crazy...
Flash another ROM and resolve the Problem

Yes, but as I said, I tried with CyanogenMod and OpenFire and the same problem appears, but when I restore backup - no problem. Is that maybe some kind of effect? And yeah, is the WildPuzzle ROM good, I mean not very buggy and stuff...?

I can't unlock the screen with Gingerbread

I tried several ROMS on my Nexus, but there is a failure on all ROMS with Gingerbread. If the screen remains locked for a few minutes, I can not unlock it (do not turn on) and not let me restart or shut down the phone, I can only remove the battery and wait about 10/20 minutes to the phone automatically restarts.
I happened to CyanogenMod 7 (RC1 and RC2) and LeoGingerBread (both downloaded from this forum)

Try one of the rooted stock ROMS. Make sure to do a complete wipe first.

Thanks, in a couple of hours notice if I have failed the stock rom
I just tried the stock rom GRI40 and I was not locked, so I guess it will be the kernel in CM7.
Not having that problem at all on stock GRI40; by the way, i'm having an odd issue with GRI40 & Gingerbread. The time to auto-lock the screen uses to change by itself; i think it's on 2' by default, but i changed it to 30' on screen settings and also on Widgetlocker settings...well, once a day, the time changes to 2' again. Anybody else having the same issue? Ideas?
Sounds to me like more of a hardware failure. I have never had any problems unlocking my screen.
This has happened to me a few times.
Possible reasons:
1)bad custom kernel where the buttons dont work. (menu to unlock)
2)bad setcpu setting. i.e. max cpu at 300MHz when the screen is off
3)cpu pegged at 100%, If its at 100% for a certain amount of time the system auto reboots. Happens many a time with CM7 build 14 and words with friends for me.
Make sure u wipe. I've had stock rooted GB and many Cyan nightlys and RC 1&2 and never had this problem. Do you use trackball wake? Configure lockscreen settings in cyan settings. They also use gestures as well if the problem persists. Hopefully one of these options helps u out. BTW I usually wipe everything.

I doubt it is a hardware failure does not happen to me with Eclair, Froyo or Gingerbread stock, just happened with CM7

I don't use trackball wake, but my nexus is completely blocked, even if I press the unlock button, and I wipe everything before to flash CM7

Nexus 4 Lockscreen Lag

I've had this issue with lag on the Nexus 4 lockscreen for quite a while.
The problem is that occasionally when I go to the unlock the phone, I press the lock, but the lock will freeze. Sometimes I have to turn the screen off, and turn back on a couple of times before I can unlock the phone.
I've had this issue running CM10.1 and stock rooted android 4.2.2. I've tried doing a complete wipe and re-flashing everything.
Has anyone else had this issue? I've asked a couple of people I know who have Nexus 4's and none of them have had this problem.
Did I do something wrong, is this a common issue, or this an issue with my phone?

I also get this occasionally from time to time. I honestly have no clue what it could be, since the screen is completely dry as are my fingers when it happens. Its a minor bug so it doesn't bother me that much

I also sometimes get lag when I do manage to unlock, scrolling through my screens is very laggy for 5-10 seconds, then it is usually fine.
I have a problem with lockscreen lag on a phone with a quadcore CPU and 2 GB of RAM.
Flash a custom kernel. You'll be less likely to experience lag
Don't get any lockscreen lag on my stock Android.

The latest trinity kernel (125) has perfected the lockscreen lag, It definitely unlocks instantly for me.

Trying this out now. I especially liked how it told me my system was corrupted once it finished flashing...
First thing I've noticed is that the colour is a lot different. Do I need to play with any settings, or do I only need to have the kernel installed?
Also how often do updates come out?
Messing with the settings is totally up to you. It works great "right out of the box." I don't like the stock color settings, I use trickster mod to change them to rgb 255, 255, 255 and everything else at 0 except saturation and blacks all the way up. This kernel is underclocked to 1026mhz by default, I set it to stock clock speeds. It's also undervolted by default so if you are having stability problems, try bumping up the voltage on all steps by 25mv. Updates come out pretty often, prolly a few times a month.

The colours bothered me so I'm trying the latest franco nightly. It seems to be at the stock clock speed, no weird colours, and it makes the haptic feedback when unlocking feel more like the GNex.
I'm still having this issue with franco kernel. I've been looking around a bit and people seem to say this is related to auto brightness. I'm going to turn auto brightness off for a bit and see if it still happens.
Also, does anyone know if using a 3rd party app for auto brightness would make any difference?
Okay, turns out auto brightness wasn't the issue. Still getting lockscreen lag. Help please.
If I put 5 fingers on the screen (when the screen is off), then press the lock button, when the screen comes on it will be completely unresponsive, some of the time. I'm not always able to replicate this.
for me, some releases of Franco have lockscreen lag, some don`t, try flashing the M2 or other post r121 builds, they are all great performers and maybe you`ll get lucky with one.
if ur using paranoid android, then its a stability issue i guesa cause the same thing used to happen with me...... or else try franco kernel... or update franco kernel if ur using franco, cause an older version had the lockscreen bug, which is now fixed!!!

I'm running CM 10.1 and the latest version of franco's kernel.
I've tried using a rooted stock and I had the same issue with lag.
I'm going to try franco's milestone build, see if I still get issues.
Would increasing the minimum clock likely help at all?
I had this problem no matter what custom ROM or kernel I would use I would get this problem I got a replacement phone and don't have this issue anymore

I'm thinking this may have been the issue.
How does the replacement process work?
If I save a nandroid backup of my phone, can I just unlock it and restore from there?
Flash the reset kernel from _motley 's kernel thread, it replaces a lot of files that might of got changed via various other kernel flashes with stock ones.
the one that causes a lot of lock screen lag is the /system/lib/hw/power.msm8960.so file

Can I just flash this with CWM? And then flash back to franco m2?
I actually just got an RMA for my phone, because of this issue and that the back glass panel is a little loose and makes creaking noises. When I send the phone back to google, if I follow all the steps here and lock the bootloader, it should be fine to send back to them?
Google's RMA process was amazing. Took me all of 10 minutes. They're shipping a new one in 3-5 days, and they pay for the return shipping of my old device. The replacement is brand-new, not a refurbished device. My dad's iPhone 4S had a bunch of issues and he would have to book an appointment at the Apple store, which happens to be an hour away, and they would only replace his device with a refurbished one.

[Q] phone does not wake up

Sometimes, when i try to wakeup my phone using home or power button, the capacitive keys light up but the screen is black.. I have to press power button to "sleep" and wake it up again... any idea? It was like this since I got it.... I updated recently and the problem still persists... it's not a big deal but a bit annoying at times.

It may be due to firmware bug or some installed app.
You didn't tell what rom you are using (stock or custom). And also check for installed apps that you suspect.

It's a hardware defect. Mine was like this too since 11th april. After changing the motherboard to the newer, 1.1100 version, the problem is competeley gone away. It's waking up every time correctly.
We had a topic about this earlier...
Hardware defect? Are you sure? I dont have a warranty. Bought it abroad. I was hoping it was just a software glitch. I am on stock unrooted

I'm totally sure because i had this bug from the beginning. I was trying all firmware updates, factory reset, etc. It's not related to the fingerprint sensor or any app installed or not.

Custom kernel color calibration resets each time when i powet on the scteen [MIUI 9]

Hi. Is there a way to bypass MIUI 9 color calibration? It probably resets my custom kernel color calibration each time when I'm unlocking the screen. I'm using kernel aduitor and colors are very dull despite the fact I set it to quite high values.
What kernel are you using? There are some and you mentioned none...
Also , it has nothing to do with miui's display color settings . It also happens on AOSP roms.
sorry for the necro but I have the same problem.
could it possibly be the issue on KA's end? since my phone is different than yours (I'm using a Mi MIX).
still hoping someone to chime in with a solution though...

Apply on boot needs to be on...
Those are some settings that don't remain because are reseted every time the kernel boots...
It's not an issue , it's normal behavior.

well of course I do.
the screen settings reset every time the screen is off. Had to actually go in through KA itself and adjust (at least) single value back and forth till it applies again.
