Security Settings won't Stick - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The Problem:
Updated my ROM the other night and I tried to set Pattern as my Screen Lock security and it just stayed on "Slide" I tried every other lock screen choice and none of them would stick.
Troubleshooting:
1. I cleaned flashed the latest nightly I was using and the problem persisted
2. I wiped my phone completely and reinstall stock images and flashed Carbon ROM and the problem still persists.
3. Flashed another ROM and the problem still persists.
I don't know if anyone secures their phone but to me this is an URGENT matter, if anyone has any suggestions, Im open to fix this ASAP.

SOLVED!!

UPDATE: I figured it out, turns out that it was the "PROFILES" option set to home with an "Unsecure" lock screen

[Q] Help me pls, no phone signal

Ok, I was running PA 4 Beta3 but was having problems with the screen delay so thought I would completly wipe my phone, fresh install PA and install the mini Gapps (I had prev installed the stock but didnt want all the apps)
Here is where it started to go wrong, Phone would not start ptopery, would get past animation screen but that was it, would then just crash with small date in corner.
Wiped and flashed just the Rom and this also failed.
Wiped and installed 3.99 and this seem to work but then the wizard crashed and I had to power down.
Booted back up into recovery and dirty flashed Beta 3 again and this seemed ok. Flashed Stock Gapps and rebooted.
All apps have installed again, titanium back has been run but I still have no network what so ever.,
If i go into settings, more, vpn, mobile networks I get 'unfortunately settings has stopped'.
I have dirty flashed again but still have same problem.
I cant do a complete wipe and install again as need to get out of the office, however with the prev problems I had I am weary about doing so.
Can anyone shed any light on any of the issues i had at all?

Sounds like a radio issue. If you are running 3.99, you need the radio for 4.3 which I do believe 3.99 is based on. You need the radio for KitKat when running the new betas.

This is the easiest way to flash a new radio http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2607221
If you went up to a 4.4 based rom and it changed your radio to .97 or .98 then you'll need to flash back to a .84 or before.
to go back to 4.3.
I think I basically said that. Sometimes I believe in not holding hands and let the guy/gal do some of the, legwork.

Thank you every one. I have reverted back to my recovery and all is well but I don't understand why when I flash the ROM ad gapps it happens. My recovery is the same ROM and gapps. No idea.
Oh well stuck with the screen delay for now!

Hi mate, thanks for this. I have reflashed my phone again and still have the same problem. My baseband is showing as 84 though s that is correct?
EDIT, dont worry a reboot has fixed this issue. Odd.
Thanks again though.

Problem with touchscreen since 4.4.2 update

Hey there
A friend of mine has the following problem with his Note 3 (completely stock).
Since the latest 4.4.2 OTA update, sometimes suddenly the screen does not respond to touching it with your hand. It does react to the stylus.
Locking and unlocking the screen does the job, but only for a few minutes.
I wiped the phone via stock recovery, but the problem persists.
Anyone with the same problem, or maybe a clue?
Thanks!

Hi
Same problem here,I tried several 4.4.2 official and custom roms but not fixed and I tried these too:
I tried mega wipe and last rom in samfirmware!
I removed my external sd card
And I googled and found there are others with same problem so it shouldn't be hardware problem
p.s.When screen freezes just half of it works! And just doesn't work by fingers and it works by s_pen!
There no way to come back to 4.3 too
What should I do?
Ty in advance
Finally Solved!
Hi
I had same problem
I did everything u said like:
mega wipe and changing rom
custom roms
taking out battery when it's on ( I Did this but I don't know It had any effects on my phone or not!)
taking out external card
But I still Had the Problem
Solution:
But I had a flip cover and I separated that from phone and thanks God,surprisingly It's Fixed and it works like a charm!!! after that I used my original cover and there is no problem till now.
Good Luck
Had the same issue posted it here bit no one responded.
Solution: The flip case I had..there's a problem with it where it locks the screen even when the case is not closed. But lately I had no issue it just seem to gotten fixed by itself.

[Q] Why does my Wifi & Bluetooth not working even with stock rom?

Hey guys,
I have a Galaxy S4 (i9500). I installed Omega ROM v22 on it and everything went smoothly, Wifi & BT working perfectly.
After a few hours of using the device (nothing special at all, texts and stuff like that) - I noticed my wifi isn't working and by not working I mean that I click the wi-fi button and it changes from gray to the mid-state between gray to green for around 20 seconds before it goes back to green ago.
If I open the menu to see my networks it just says "Enabling" without any networks there.
I had to drive somewhere so I went to my car and tried to enable Bluetooth, and same thing happens there - Bluetooth will not turn on and will stay stuck on mid-state between gray and green for a while and go back to green.
I flashed omega rom v22 again and the problem was gone, or so I thought. I went back to the car for another drive and realized the bluetooth issue is back - and when I got home I realized the wifi issue is back as well.
I figured I need to reset everything so I tried the following:
Full wipe (including dalvik and even including "internal SD card") and then flashing stock rom (from the official website, stock rom of my country).
The issue was back after a few hours. I do not have BT or Wifi access. Yesterday Wifi suddenly started working for a few hours but then it stopped working again.
I really need help! I have no idea what to do with this issue!
Well rule number one when you have problems after flashing without wipe.
1. perform a full wipe and see if the problem persists.

Tried that, no luck.
What else would you try?
In some places when people had problems with Wi-Fi they said to flash a different kernel but I don't see why I would have this specific issue with Omega Rom and why the default kernel with it wont work well?
Maybe this could be a root issue? My root works fine but I have this weird gut feeling like this is some permissions thing that's going on.
I'm trying to think why it would work right after the wipe but then stop working shortly after.
Another symptom: It randomly started working for a few minutes and then stopped again (around three hours ago).
Any idea what's going on?
Well, if you fully wiped and didn't restore any apps and settings then it can be two other things.
Or it's a bug in the rom or a hardware failure in your phone.
I would suggest trying a different rom first. Do not restore anything, not even your google account.
wi-fi fix?
Do you actually have an i9505? or is it a canadian or att version? if its the latter sometimes the devs offer some wifi-fixes, also try a different kernel. otherwise it could be that your radio/modem are not compatible with the version of the ROM you are flashing.
Tried arrow ROM and this issue doesn't seem to happen in this rom. Hope it stays like that...

Sadly, it did happen with this rom, after just a few hours.
I'm now using stock rom and still suffering from the issue.
Does anyone have ANY idea what I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

OnePlus Two Keeps Crashing

Hi, I have a OnePlus Two which reboots to the second bootanimation when ever I try to uninstall a app. Also when I go to security in settings the settings app crash's too.
I was on oxygen OS with the same issue so I decided to clean install recrunstruction remix ROM on my phone which I did, still with the same issue. Also I had this issue in both of the Roms where as I set a password it woint let me (when I set a pin on my phone it asked me to confirm the pin which I did and it woint let me press the confirm button) I believe that this issue might had happened maybe when I fixed my bricked phone first aid kit, and after that I started to get the problem. I have thread on that too that you can visit with this link "http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/help/bricked-1-2-help-please-t3326037" So please help me and thanks.
Never Mind, I Solved The Problem By Flashing The Stock OTA

half blue half black screen after flashing a rom

hi everyone.
i am having this wierd issue for a month or so, when i try to update RR rom.
after i flash the rom, i get the screen attached. screen seems for like 2 seconds, and goes this half black / half blue screen. screen is still responsive, i can receive calls and if i double tap anywhere, screen locks. there is no problem with screen on twrp or anything ( because sometimes after flashing the rom i dont get this screen, so i don't do anything else, except use it normally.) but today it happened without a reason, the phone was in my pocket when i took it out and saw the screen in this state.
i always flash by following the steps given. i know it is not hardware related. where is the problem? what do i need to do?
p.s. : when charging, blue part goes yellow.
thank you all, waiting for a solution

First go to recovery and check that display problem present or not if not then flash any other custom rom or reflash rr
if you are unable to go to recovery then flash stock rom via odin it will fix every software related issue
and if flashing stock rom doesn't work then it may be hardware issue
You confirmed the model # in download mode? Tried using different version of TWRP?
I am facing same problem recently, did you find any solution ?
still no solution. this problem is not hardware related since i can use it perfectly now. i tried to flash (via twrp) RR-N-v5.8.5 exactly as described in op. rom boots, i can see the home screen for a brief moment but screen goes immediately black and blue. i can receive calls, lock and wake screen, that's all. then i have to restore everything. i am currently on hexagon rom v2.5 and no issues but i like RR.
again, this problem is not hw related. i follow all the steps again and again checking everything..
any ideas?
blue screen

clean install worked for a day or so, until i turned off ambient dislpay and restart. then it went blue&black again.
i tried a few kernels, some bootloaders and modems (including nordic) but problem persists.
i will try to get a logcat :/
In case anyone has the same problem: reboot to safe mode, go to settings, flip cover and turn off S-View flip cover.
