I have a stock Note 3 from ATT - SAMSUNG-SM-N900A running android version 4.3. My phone does this weird double display anytime there is an incoming call or a reminder from my calendar. I will get the standard display that an incoming call is occurring, then the screen will quickly return back to the password lock screen (where I have to enter my pin) if my phone is locked or just the standard swipe to unlock screen if not enough time has passed. Then is quickly switches back to the notification screen. So basically you see notification, lock screen, notification... one right after the other. It is really annoying as I try to swipe to ignore the notification or touch answer to to answer the call and it does that weird display thing. I do have a pin password on my phone due to the connection to an exchange server requiring it.
Has anyone else seen this? I am getting ready to take this in to ATT and have them check it out, but I really don't want them doing any kind of hard reset if I don't have to. Thank you in advance for any help with this.

hello everyone, quick question
im looking for a locking program that will lock the screen when i press the power button (device goes into standby) and when it wakes up
the default locking program with WM is annoying because you can lock the phone BUT when u get an incoming call or text message, the screen becomes unlocked again and its easy to "answer" it accidently when its in your pocket. this is particularly annoying with text messages, because most of the time i wont even realize i have one and the phone will be awake for hours draining the battery and waiting to be pushed. anyways ive done several searches and come up with the following solutions, none of which work for me
1. S2U2, i dont like it, i tried it, wont use it again
2. SensorLock - An EXCELLENT locker, except it wont work on phones without Accelerometers...works wonderfully on the diamond tho
can anyone suggest something to me
First, set timeout for turning screen off autoamtically. This will solve SMS wakeup problem - screen will turn off automatically after some time.
Next thing, incoming calls - there is great Onyx ROM with Opal's slider - to answer a call, you need to slide your finger from center to left (or to right to ignore it). You can't answer accidentally using it
i appreciate your suggestions but neither works for me
i tried the opal but it didnt work properly, i actually had to hard reset to get rid of it
as for the timeout, it still doesnt solve the problem of the phone becoming ACTIVE as soon as a notification or text message is received
Hi all,
i use StocK ROM ICS, no root and Stock Kernel on my Note.
Most times i set my events on google calendar with settings popup 10 minutes before appointment will start. if you do so you will get a reminder on the phone like this one on screenshoot attached.
The big problem is now that i use PIN for security lock the phone, but after this reminder the whole phone is unlocked and you can use it normal without the need of the correct PIN!
In settings the phone still says, phone locked with PIN, but you can shut off the screen or let phone as it is until screen shuts off, but with power button or home button you can access the phone again without the need of the PIN
Phone stays in in this status until you set the PIN config again or some times it will be locked if an email or call gets in.
Does anybody else get this issue already?
Anybody else with this issue?
Can some one with LPY ROM test please?
-set phone via volume button to silent, vibration off also
- make an appointment with reminder 10mins before start time
than same screen should appear like on screenshot from previous post
now close the appointment and check if you can access the homescreen without the need of a PIN or pattern.
Thanks for a feedback.
I received lollipop earlier this week and ever since then when I get a new notification for a email or text message for example my phone's screen doesn't turn on. My LED notification light will turn on, but that's about it. I'm using the stock lock screen for the record. Does anyone know if there is a way to change this? When I'm at work I keep my phone on vibrate and the screen turning itself on is what usually gets my attention.
If anyone has any input on this situation it would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!
Hi I was wondering if anyone can help me. I have an s7 edge and I have started noticing that sometimes the notifications aren't coming through on my lock screen. For instance I have twitter notifications set up for when someone tweets and the majority of the time they alert me then show up on my lock screen but sometimes when I unlock my phone I'll have a few come through at the same time. It's as if sometimes when I lock my screen it disconnects from the Internet and when I unlock it everything is coming through. I also noticed something different today, I tapped my home button to unlock my phone and on the lock screen I had an alert but as I pressed the home button to wake up from sleep the exact same notification popped up again. So I got it twice but it was already on the screen then it alerted me again when I tapped it. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks
Up till now, all my galaxy phones had a persistent phone notification, while on a call, right on the lock screen along with other notifications. It had simple buttons for mute/unmute and speaker phone on/off. On the S8, there's no persistent notification for the phone on the lock screen. I've ensured that I don't have the phone app disabled from showing notifications on the lock screen, it's set to show all content. I have to either unlock, or pull down the notification panel and then get to it, which is kind of annoying. Anybody else notice this or is it something with my phone? Just want to check before I attempt a factory reset.
