[Q] Cyanogen Mod Lockscreen problem?(SSOD)

hey everyone!
i recentley flashed the new cyanogen.. the stable 6.1.0..
now whenever i press the power button to lock my phone, for a second the screen brightness changes to lower. and then locks.
but if i want to unlock it quite quickly (within 5 seconds) of locking my phone, this weird white fuzz screen flashes for like 1.5 seconds and then goes to lock screen..
is anyone else having this problem? anyway to fix it?

i get this too. i think if you turn off the animations, that stops the dimming. im not sure about the weird fuzzy stuff though. to be honest, it's never bothered me that much

Mines doing that as well. If I wait maybe like 3 seconds or so and press the unlock button, then it's okay. But this isn't that much of a repetitive issue for me. It's just random.

+1 exact same problem.. I think the lock is delayed..

i dun really think thats the case...
Lockscreen: "You wont like it when i am angry" - Quoted from................. Incredible hulk.....

Actually you can set the delay time with ICS now. It's located in Settings --> Security --> Lock automatically. I set mine to 30 seconds...
Otherwise: No problems whatsoever here...

Something strange happened to mine on Friday, I wasn't able to reproduce.
Basically when I turned on the screen I got the lock screen, pressing power again I went straight to home screen, pressing it again went back in lock etc. Weird!
I disabled it in security and re-enabled it and it seemed to have disappeared.

Any fix. For the lock screen issue guys

[Q] S4 lock screen: cannot swipe but can click on items

Hi everyone, first thanks to all the people who are willing to help others with their S4 problems!
I have Telus version of Galaxy S4 and it is basically untouched (i.e. no root no modifications).
I have had a problem with the lock screen for past couple of days and tried searching the forum but could not find any solutions.
The problem is this:
In lockscreen, I cannot swipe to unlock the device from time to time. No matter what I do, pressing power button to get to lock screen again, it just won't respond to my swipe motion to unlock the device. This forces me to hold the power button and then click on restart. For some reason it will responds to me clicking on restart but cannot read my swipe motions.
Does anyone else have any similar problems? If so, any thoughts on the solution?
The annoying thing is I cannot replicate the problem but it will happen once or twice a day.
Any thoughts are appreciated!

[Q] S4 i9500 unlocks straight to recent apps

Hey all,
I have my phone set at pattern unlock, the automatic lock on power button disabled and a 2 minute delay for an idle lock.
Most (but not all) of the times when I press the home button after I put it to sleep using the power button (but before the 2 minute idle time) the screen lights up, my last application is visible for a second and the it pops to the "Latest Applications" screen.
It's driving me crazy...
I've had 3 stock roms on my galaxy s4 and two kernels, currently running the adam 1.2 and the latest indonesia rom, and I've had this issue on all of them.
Does anybody else have this issue? Do you know how to solve it?

[Solved] Fingerprint scanner vibrates after screen goes off

Every time I turn the screen off, the phone vibrates 2 times with about 5 seconds delay. I have tracked this vibration down to fingerprint scanner. Its seems to be an indication of it going to sleep. When you turn the screen off, you can place your finger on the scanner and it will wake the screen up. This function is active for few seconds, and then the scanner goes to sleep (signalized by the vibration).
Anyone know how to turn this notification off? Or even better, how to disable this whole function entirely so the scanner sleeps immediately after screen goes off?
Additional information
the Vibration occurs even if you turn the screen on after turning it off but before the vibration (seems irregular though)
the time of the vibration changes with the lock time setting
turning off notification vibrations entirely helps, but I dont want to do that
not using the fingerprint unlock helps too, but I would prefer to keep using it

Hey. My g928c is runnin on custom rom/kernel. Not sure that could be the same or not but when I turn off the screen, it doesnt wake without pressing home or power button. Maybe you use easyHome app or kind of app which uses fingerprint sensor. My device doesnt wake up after turned the screen off and placing a finger on the scanner or etc. As I remember, easyHome app has got that wake up option but in one of older versions. I hope you solve it..

Oh, I was sure this behavior was caused by the sensor, but now that I actually switched back default locker, it doesnt do it. So the issue is entirely in the Hi Locker I am using. I should have checked that in the first place. So thank you. Now my question changes. Are there any more locker options that use fingerprint scanners other than the default and hi locker?

Glad to know you solved it. Im using default lockscreen and never wondered any others lol. Maybe you try{if didnt} Go launcher's go locker etc. Dont know anything more in this case sorry, good luck.

I tried few other alternatives and honestly they were way too cumbersome and bloated. For now I revoked Hi Locker's permission to make notifications, which got rid of the vibration. I hope nothing broke with this modification. Thanks for getting me on track.
