I have searched the forums and Google to no avail.
I use the pattern unlock on my ATT GS4 but about 50% of the time the pattern unlock does not come up, but a box to swipe to unlock comes up instead. This is very similar to the problem that I experienced with my GS2.
Is there a fix for this? I am using stock ATT version MF3 unrooted.
There's an option in settings->security that can be changed to delay the password lock from showing immediately. sounds like it set to delay. Check that see if it's the problem.

Thanks, I think that may have fixed it.

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.

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

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
The stock rom would make you swipe the screen everytime the screen was turned on, even if your password time out had not been reach yet, but after I installed Mint v2 that has been removed and when you wake the device it goes right to your home screen.
Does anyone know how to enable this again? I've tried to search here and on the i9505 forums but could not find anything.
thank!

Not sure on stock since I didn't really use tw on this device but its usually setting > security that ROM probably has it turn off or something

Nope, I don't have anything in there about it. I had to take pattern off to make it swipe every time it wakes. Hopefully someone can figure it out Soon so I can put it back to pattern.
Thanks though.

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 ?

I just noticed that if you hit power or home button, then pull the notification bar down and toggle WiFi on or off. It will unlock the phone without a password or fingerprint. Can others try it and post their results maybe it's just my phone.
I'm on T-mobile and use the fingerprint lock
just your phone, mine asks for a fingerprint after trying to disable wifi!

Nah, asks for fingerprint/password when I try to disable/enable WiFi.

Probably smart lock or isn't locked. OP, on your lock screen a little lock icon at the bottom will indicate locked or unlocked. If it shows locked and unlocks when you do the WiFi settings crap then that's weird...

After reboot it's fine now lol.
On unlocking phone its been saying please use pattern instead of fingerprint scan because of security. Any idea what the problem is and any recommendations on how to resolve this issue? Also done cache clear but still the same issue
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
You may have activated Smart Unlock by accident? you can set your phone to not ask you for an unlock depending on location or connected to a network or a bluetooth device. I have mine unlocked at home, so it only prompts me to swipe. Soon as I disconnect from the wireless network it will start prompting for a fingerprint scan or my pin.
If that ain't it then I wouldn't know, hope it helps.

This is because you are probably using an app/gesture to lock the screen (or anything else other than the power button). I have the same issue if I use Nova launcher gestures to lock my screen. I now use LMT for screen-off and that doesn't cause any problems.
