On every phone I have had, after a few failed password attempts I get prompted to login using my google account but on my Nexus 4 I receive no such option. is this a new "feature" of the newer versions of android or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
Works perfectly fine for me when the pop-up appears that you'll have to wait 30 seconds there is a button next to emergency call which is labeled something like "forgot password ?"
But when you turn off/on the screen the button is gone

Thanks for replying.
After a few hours of searching I have come to the conclusion that the "forgot password?" button is for pattern only while PIN and Password do not have this option. I did try a patter and was able to login using google but not with a PIN.
I had this same issue about 2 weeks ago . I was changing my password while talking to some girl.
I guess I accidentally hit some buttons. Took me about 2hrs steady to figure out the password.
I thought I was going to need a factory reset :banghead:
But I didn't even see the option when I booted with volume key , ?

Am I the only one who has been having issues with the lock screen locking up on unlock? had this issue before I rooted am still having this issue.
Find i have to relock (power button) a few times before it starts to work!
Haven't had this problem. It has been smooth since stock. I find it weird that you had the issue before rooting.
Do you have any custom kernels? Any homescreen widgets? Does it happen consistently?
Nope, none, no stock widgets or anything like that, about as stock as you can get.
Happens once every 10 unlocks i would say, might have to send it back!
I can confirm this issue
Face unlock is on with pattern unlock as backup
Whenever face unlock fails I try to enter pattern....pattern does not work
Phone doesn't even show pattern(like its not accepting touch input and I do have it set to "show pattern" )
Slide up to Google Now when unlock pattern screen appear and you get new unlock pattern screen.....entering pattern here works
I suspect it is related to face unlock....when face unlock fails it never locks for touch input
This error occurs 70% of the time not always

I have removed root etc done a fresh wipe and still have the unlock lag issue l, i don't use face unlock. going to try and get a swap from o2 today.
Used to have this problem when using autobrightness
Mine has hung a few times on the lockscreen and each and every time it has, Auto brightness has took a dump.
I don't recall it doing it more than one per reboot though, I'll have to monitor that.

Yes I have this exact issue and posted on it about a week ago in the Q&A forum.
I push the power button and I cannot drag the slide unlock. If I wait 10 seconds it sometimes unfreezes and lets me. I have to cycle the power button until it finally lets me slide unlock.
I've completely wiped the device and that has had no benefit.
What apps do you have installed? I've wondered if it's an app.
I use Words with Friends, IMDB, Reddit is Fun, Tapatalk, and Google News & Weather widget. I'm going to try disabling auto brightness to see if that fixes as suggested above.

Update: I've disabled the auto-brightness and that seems to have fixed the lock screen issue so far.

Ended up getting a new N4 from o2, no longer have the issue, same apps installed must of been some random hardware issue!
Been having this issue, so annoying .

I believe that this is a known very occasional intermittent 4.2/4.2.1 android issue, I have had it a couple of times myself in the last fortnight.

This happens to me all the time. Super annoying! I don't use auto brightness and it happens with any lock I use, slide, pattern, pin. Should I contact Google?
I'm 100% percent stock, not even rooted.

I have also been experiencing this, really is infuriating not being able to unlock your own phone sometimes... Usually cycling the screen on and off a few times seems to work.
I ended up ripping off my brand new BestSkinsEver thinking it might have been the cause!
Same here. In my case, i am using PIN and sometimes it lags out while trying to enter my pin and i have to press power button to lock it and try again.

I have the same problem, and I think i have found a way to replicate the issue.
1. Turn off the screen.
2. Wait around 5 seconds.
3. Put three fingers on the screen at the same time.
4. And without moving the fingers turn on the screen.
At this time the touchscreen doesn't respond or it has some kind of lag and you have to reunlock the screen to make it work again.
Can anyone test this?
Sorry for my english.

This way the lock screen is unresponsive but I feel that it is not the same issue.
The lag I usually experience with the bug is more like the phone doesn't wake up properly and can't handle the input in (real) time
PS. I had this on my 8 GB model (sold) and 16 GB model
Is there a way to unlock the phone right away by using imprint? Mine keeps asking for pin or pattern after it recognizes the fingerprints

Are you using a double tap to turn off app for your screen? They interfere with it.

Is this happening every single time you use your fingerprint or only after a boot/reboot? It should only occur once after each time the phone has booted up.

Yup pretty much every time and no I haven't rebooted yet.

Same problem here. Sometimes it asks for the passcode after the fingerprint. Sometimes on bottom of the screen the print sensor icon is replaced by a lock. I just had another bug where I was on chrome browsing a website and the lockscreen appeared by itself.
EDIT: I uninstalled this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.qihoo.security&hl=fr and it seems to not happen again for the moment. (I also tried to disable lockscreen security, then enable it again, registering my fingers again but it didn't solved it)
EDIT2: Oops it did it again.
Go to Security-> Device Administrator and untick all the apps. Lock your phone with power button. Now, try fingerprint.
Probably one of the apps there is misbehaving.

Same thing kept happening to me, I realised that its because I used a screen lock widget on my home screen to lock the screen. It didnt work when i did that. But if i use the power button to turn screen off, it goes back to the normal imprint mode.
somethimes when I put my finger on the scanner instead of unlock it it ask for the pattern password and sometimes it works well.
(when I try with finger that isn't in the system its vibrate and do nothing so from this I figure that it does recognize my finger when I use the right one and it open the pattern)
what can I do
Edit:i found the problem I was used an app names screen lock that make this problem if someone have the same problem check if u use an app that have connection with the lock screen you can check this is settings security
It asks for the pattern on the first fingerprint unlock after a reboot. Could it be your case?
Inviato dal mio Nexus 6P utilizzando Tapatalk
It will do this when you first restart your phone.
Happens on every reboot, as @lomax79 and @geoff5093 said. I have also had it occasionally ask for my password for "extra protection".
do you have a lock screen replacement or perhaps you are using a launcher that has lockscreen settings enabled?
if so, that is likely the 'issue'. Try disabling it/them.
I occasionally get the password screen after attempting to unlock with a fingerprint. This is not after a reboot, just random times throughout the day. At first I thought it was random reboots while in my pocket, but the uptime clock has not been reset.
I've been getting this from day one and it seems to have good times and bad times regarding g how often it happens I could understand it happening if I was buying something.
Oh and it seems to happen more if I shut the phone down with Tap screen but if I put phone down and let it power down on its own it won't ask for password on next restart, bugs me a bit.hope Google can polish it up a bit.

It's not happen just after reboot it happen sometimes per day
It's possible your phone has been constantly rebooting. The only time it will ask for your pin or password is when you first boot up the device as an extra security layer. I've RMA'd my current device for that reason as well. Expecting a new one Monday. If the problem keeps happening I'd recommend RMA'ing
found the problem
How you solve ?

locked out of phone. Can't enter pin or fingerprint. Says "try again in 30 minutes"
phone is international S7E (G935F). Just moments ago I pull my phone out of my pocket and to unlock with my fingerprint as I normally do, and it simply says "try again in 30 minutes". The timer is actually working now though, it's now at 15 minutes now so obviously I will see what happens when it gets to 0. But rebooting phone didn't work, I can't unlock with finerprint, can't unlock with pin. I am literally locked out of the phone completely.
Has anyone seen this happen, and is there a fix for it so I don't have to wait the full 30 minutes?
What da ****...

Well after the 30 minute wait I could unlock my phone. I was forced to use pin. So it appears some sort of security feature kicked me out of the phone. I want to know how that could have happened.

That's the "FBI Lockout" feature activating. :^P
Noticed today it will unlock by simply swiping up even though pin and print are set and on. Happened before but I just reset it and was fine. Now its not the case, can't get it to work properly at all. Any help?
