My daughter decided she didn't like the pattern for the screen lock on her Atrix so she changed it. Unfortunately she doesn't remember it, didn't tell it to use the fingerprint scanner and doesn't remember her motoblur login. What can I do to unlock the screen?
In my limited knowledge, I just remove the battery and reset the phone

I think the only way is doing an hard/factory reset. Although, you are going to lose your data.

Has anyone gotten this problem? Sometimes, when I try to unlock my Nexus 7, it doesn't actually unlock and turns off the screen. This happens several times before it finally does unlock. (Sometimes you have to activate Google Now before it will unlock) I would like to report this to Google but I am unsure how to do that by email. Just wondering if anyone else had this problem too. Thanks!
Surely someone must have had this problem too.

Nope, are you on a custom ROM or kernel?

No, not even rooted. It seems to happen most frequently with third party apps.

Maybe it is a problem with the third party app? ...

I've noticed it especially with skpye, but it has happened with stock apps like chrome and gmail too.
EDIT: just had it happen with the Twitter app. It seems it goes to sleep earlier than it should when the unlocking problem happens.

I had the same issue. Let me guess...you have a folio case with the magnetic smart cover feature?

No problem here...
I also at times have problems with the unlock screen.
The lock screen at times is just in a frozen state.
To fix I press the power button to turn of the screen and hit it again to turn back on the screen.
The lock screen then functions as usual.
Note: This happens even when I have no apps open.
Well as it turns out, a lot of the folio cases with the sleep/wake function use magnets that are too powerful. When the case is folded all the way back, the magnet is activating the sleep function. I almost sent my tablet in for RMA but then I realized it was the case. If it happens again, just let the flap hang and you should be able to unlock your device hope I helped.

I do not have the smart case and I have a frozen lock screen issue.
LCD often has wake up lag.

I have a folio case. Never thought that could be the issue. I'll try letting it hang freely from now on. Could someone tell Google about this so they can release an update to fix it? (since people without the case are having the same issue)
Hi,
Not sure I'm writing the right place.
-Sorry...
Is there a way to change the way you lock the screen ?
I stead of one single push on the power button, I could really use something like 2 press...
I keep locking the screen by accident when I fooling around , or if I'm in a store and buying my coffee for free (7 eleven, using a app with a QR code..) and the staff accidentally lock the screen - I will lose that QR code, cause I only have 2 min to use it, when the staff press "show code"..
Soooo...
Is it possible to tweak/hack/nuke it ?
-FYI, only had the S4 for about a month, and only got rooted
-again, if I'm in the wrong place, I'm really sorry..

hello to everyone.
after updating my phone to kitkat im facing some problems with quick glance!! I dont know why it only works for a few seconds when I just restart my phone after that there is no respond to my hand moves when screen is off.
I have even tired it in settings from "try it" section when u test a future and it works so quick and well but later when I try to do it with screen off its not working!!!!
could it be because of an app ? if any idea about how can I fix it please share.
thank you.

up to now... I don't think it is visible AFAIK.
And if you try to google out there, there is/are app(s) which manipulate this function, by keep screen on, and make the color of the screen turn black (as if it is off). And it is working only with OLED display.
I never use/try it, because I don't really like the idea with my N3, whereby I have the s-view attached already.
