Is this normal?

Whenever my phone goes into standby mode, or when I manually put the phone into standby mode by briefly pressing the power button The phone is unresponsive to any other key press or screen taps. I have to press the power button again to get it out of standby mode. I am using a usa T-Mobile MDA with the 1.08 rom. The only today plugins I have installed are magic button, rlcalendar and powercheck. Is there w way to fix this? It is kinda annoying.

take a look here..
start / settings / buttons / the lock tab at the bottom /
there should be three options, if you have the top one checked, then only the power button will wake your phone up.
hope this helps

I prefer it like this as it means you don't have to rememebr to 'lock' the phone before putting it in a case/pocket/bag to stop accidental turning on/dialing.

I've asked a similar question in a different thread... but does anyone know how to prevent the buttons from becoming active when the device automatically re-starts itself? e.g. when it's in my pocket, I don't want the keypad suddenly activating when a text message notification appears on the screen. Do I have to lock the keypad manually to do this?

Thank you Gazzrenn, your suggestion helps greatly!

I have security set up that have to enter the password before the device comes on and the buttons become active, so I dont suffer from this. If I dont enter the password, ie when its in my pocket and I dont hear it, it turns off after 1 minute.

Don't you find this a bit tedious if you want to answer a call but have to enter a password first?
I would prefer my device not to activate the screen when its in my pouch or pocket, but to have to activate the keyboard and enter a password to answer a call I find is tedious - or have you found a quicker way to do it.

Call answer is the one exception.
I have the password setup so that no-one that steals my device can get my data, sure they can hard reset and use the device (not as a phone as that will be blocked from UK networks) but they loose all my private/personal data

Call answer is the one exception.

I haven't used the password feature.
If I set a password does that automatically allow the phone to be answered without entering it?

Yes - when the phone rings the phone you are able to answer, but once you hang up the password is requested.

I think I just found a security bug

I'm using the Villain 1.4 ROM so curious if this happens on the stock rom too?
Basically I have the pin lock enabled but when on the pin screen if I double tap the home button it tries to take me into the voice command app, as I have never used it it presented me with the Samsung Disclaimer with a Next and Previous button at the bottom, I pressed Previous and it took me to my home screen totally bypassing the screen lock...anyone else get this?

Not happening on stock ROM.

Had you already accepted the disclaimer before? Im wondering if its related to that, once accepted it doesnt show the disclaimer and so the pin bypass cant happen.
Or does the stock rom not even start the voice app when you double tap home on the pin lock screen?

Voice app didn't start. Just shows the pin security screen.

I just try to do this on my phone (villian rom 1.4), but it didnt work it just stayed on the lock screen

Slide to Unlock plus Pin security

I just bought the Droid Turbo and I encrypted my phone with a PIN. Now when my phone is in between the screen off and the 5 minute lock time for the pin access, if you press the power button it automatically goes to the home screen. On my 5 other Android phones in between the screen off and the PIN lock out time if you press the power button you still have to slide to unlock. Is there any way to get this back? Or a 3rd party app that will let me do this without disabling the security PIN? I have tried several KitKat and Lollipop lock screen apps but they all remove the pin lock security. I do have the Tasker app but i am unsure how to set this option up. Thanks for any help. If I need to explain the issue better let me know.

I don't think it is available that way with Moto Display. On my Moto X 2013 it doesn't do that either. Because there is a slide unlock on the Moto/Active Display when there are notifications or when the device moves, you slide there to either get the notification or go to the home screen.

I like that feature however, if I press the power button it goes straight to the home screen without sliding to unlock. I dont like that. I want to have to slide to unlock even if I press the power button.

You would probably need a 3rd party lock screen to do that, but I think you'd then always swipe to PIN, after that 5 minutes passed. You can only select one lock screen type on Moto X, so it is either slide OR PIN/Password, but you can't have both. I know what you're referring to, I had it on my Droid X and Droid Razr Maxx, but the only way to turn those on was with the power button. Because the newer Moto phones have Active/Moto Display, I think it works as the slide unlock.
I can say that over time you will use the power button less and less, because you will get used to the Active Display. It's a hard habit to shake, but you'll actually find yourself turning your phone on less to check notifications. On my Moto X I pick it up and see there is a notification (or see it "breathing" an unread notification) and if I press and hold on the circled notification I can see the details. So I can see what the text is, who the email is from, what the tweet is, etc and if I don't care to unlock and view I can swipe left/right to clear it without every actually turning the screen on or unlocking the phone.
If you control the apps that are able to show on Active Display and only places ones you really care about, you'll turn your phone on even less and only for the things you feel are important.

Tasker to add slide to unlock with PIN
I have this reference to use Tasker to do what I want but, I dont understand it. here is the link to the post.

I have Tasker and secure settings just dont understand how to input the code in. Thanks for any help.

I use Tasker and Secure Settings to set/remove my PIN based on my home WIFI connection (it turns PIN off when I'm at home).
Setup your profile with Tasker first, then create an action and select Plugins (or 3rd party, I forget), and select Secure Settings. You'll have a big list of options, Keyguard is under Actions and Password/PIN is under Dev Admin actions. You'll need to enable Secure Settings as a device administrator in your phone settings.
You will probably need to have a profile that sets keyguard when the screen shuts off and waits 5 minutes, then disables keyguard and turns on PIN/Password lock. Then another profile that resets the status to recycle it once you unlock the phone.

Can you post the step by step instructions. I have never used Tasker before and I am completely lost.

There's an option to Lock Immediately on Power or something. In security settings. Or just reduce your time out.

Google Now bypasses lock screen

I've noticed odd behavior with Google Now and the moto z force. I'm hoping someone else can confirm this Behavior. With the screen on, press the finger print sensor to lock the phone. Now press power button. The pattern or pin lock screen should come up. Without entering a pin or pattern now say Okay Google to launch Google Now. Say whatever you want to launch a search result and then press the home button. On my phone, The lock screen has been completely bypassed.
Edit: after doing some looking it appears as though Google Now has something called trusted voice which will unlock your phone if it knows your voice. Didn't know that was a thing and it's kind of creepy to be on by default. Google Now knows my voice. And fingerprints. And pictures of my face. Google's going to build a clone of me I know it

Oneplus 6t new major fingerprint security flaw

The OnePlus 6T's fingerprint sensor can easily be bypassed with this trick. . We have confirmed it working on two phones so far. Phone Unlocks itself via camera and voice from Lock screen, plz some one report..

Please confirm that the phone cannot see your face when you unlock it, and no Smart Lock trigger was active.
This alleged problem does not exist on my phone.

No i turned off face unlock , it just unlocks itself, just open the camera from lockscreen then close the camera app,

no , i turned off face unlock, it unlocks itself from launching camera from lockscreen thn closing the camera app, it bypasses all security locks " fingerprint , pins and face unlock"

We shall wait for others to check. I couldn't reproduce the error at all.

Do not have this problem with mine, are you sure you don't have your left thumb registered?

Either way if this is true. you should be reporting it to OnePlus. Not telling everyone on XDA how to break into someone elses 6T

So if I'm hearing you right, you're saying that by opening the camera from the lockscreen and then pressing your home button, your phone unlocks? Doesn't do that for me, it prompts me for my PIN or fingerprint when I press the home button. Can't reproduce this either... Might reinstall OOS? I'm at a loss for advice on this one.

I can reproduce this. I use navigation gestures, so opening the camera from the lockscreen and then just close it with the right (or left) swipe gesture to go back and you're in the phone. I don't think it has anything to do with the fingerprint sensor.
Edit: now I can't reproduce it anymore strange.. [emoji848]

I'm not able to reproduce this either. Switched to navigation gestures. Turned off face unlock. Launched camera from lock screen. Swipe from side to go back took me to lock screen with fp prompt only, no keypad for PIN. Tried again, this time swiping from middle to go home. I get fp prompt & keypad for PIN. However, with this screen the camera stays open and viewable through the lockscreen, but phone is still locked.

After a few tries I see my home screen but it's only a flash then it's back to my lock screen. It looks like it may want to but maybe I'm doing it wrong. Either way, this looks important enough to report to OP and see what's what.

Tilted phone so it can't capture my face and tried as you've said - running camera and voice commands from lockscreen and phone is still locked, cannot bypass..
So there are two vartiants.
1) Phone still recognizes your face
2) Enabled smart unlock? so phone knows that you are in home and automatically unlocks device.

Nope, i unlocked my friends mobile @ my home...

You sure you have a pin/fp/pattern set up at all?
I've been trying for 5 minutes with gestures and it always just either asks me for a pin or sends me back to the lock screen.
Seems odd but maybe post it on the OP forums instead of here, won't get them to fix it if they aren't aware of it...

Nope. Unable to reproduce.
