Hello,
After rooting my G1... I've noticed I cannot lock the phone by pressing the red button. I can unlock the phone fine using MENU (or now the Lock 2.0) application, but I have been unable to lock by pressing the red button since I rooted/changed the firmware.
Also, I've had problems with text messages sending (sparadically) and issues with the Market downloading applications without having to reboot the phone.
I do have the most up to date Radio firmware from HTC.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jeff
What does it do when you press the red button?
And whats the deal with that poll? Doesn't seem related. You also missed some choices that might be more popular... i.e. 2 days, 3 days, 5 days.
My phone has been crashing sparadically, force closes. For the past two days pressing end called asked me to set a default action, for which there was only two options "Home" and "Lock 2.0 (WARNING DO NOT CHOOSE THIS) or something to that effect. When I chose home, the button did absolutely nothing, but I never chose Lock. I have not disabled lock, intentionally... But running "Backup for Root Users" wiped my contacts, e-mails, sms, all application settings, my google account, everything.
So go figure.. that somehow fixed the locking issue, but my phone is still far from stable.
I can't imagine anyone getting 24 hours of battery life without plugging it in. I have the original HTC battery and a generic battery too, no luck.
I have GPS and Wifi disabled, brightness down low. I have 3G disabled as well.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jeff
First of all do a wipe on the phone. If that does not fix it I would re-flash the rom that you are using and wipe. Hope that helps.
if your running jf 1.51 there should be a app called spare parts if you go into that app there is a section that allows you to pick wut the end call button should do whether it be go to the home screen turn the screen of or both
NYSteeler you star! I completely forgot about that option in Spare Parts!
Just installed cyanogen's latest ROM and I was having similar problems. For some reason when it was set to 'Home then Sleep' the red button does nothing. But when set to just 'sleep' it locks the phone as it should!
There's probably a conflict somewhere... but I can do without the hassle of add/removing apps one at a time to see which one it is! And I can live with having to push 'Home' then 'End'.. It's easier than waiting for the screen to timeout!
And who on earth is getting more than 24hrs out of their G1 battery!? Maybe if you leave it at home for the day...! I get about 12-13 at the most out of mine.
Dear all,
a few days ago I started again using Cyanogenmod, first latest stable (10.1.2) and today also latest nightly.
In Settings lockscreen is enabled with cLock-Widget, till now I tried normal unlock (move only), pattern, PIN and Password but in 90% of all cases, if I switch of my Nexus with Power, it is NOT locked. Pressing Power again, after a few seconds, minutes or just hours still show homescreen oder latest app which was open. Same if I do not use Power but waiting for automatic Lockscreen.
Do anyone has the same problem or just know how to fix that?

What are your settings for under Security for:
"Automatically Lock after ## after sleep" and do you have "Power button instantly locks" checked?

I've noticed this as well. Since around the time of the 10.1.2 release.
Basically, I've changed the default settings so there's a lock screen and it works at first, but then, seemingly randomly will stop working, ie no lock screen whatsoever. I can leave the phone for hours, and there's no security.
Seems like a pretty serious flaw to me. I've actually upgraded my CM installation, as well as done a complete reinstall, doing a factory reset, and updating to the latest nightly, ie last nights, and this issue is still there.
Basically means I can't rely on CM for keeping my phone secure. I've changed the settings back and forth, tried different security settings, reset things, reinstalled, etc. Tried everything I can think of.
Yes, all the proper settings are there, basically CM's default settings once you turn the lock screen on should work, power button instantly locks, timeout etc.
About ready to go back to an earlier version or different rom completely.
Anyone have any thoughts?

I just loaded my first rom on my Note 2 today. Getting the same thing. The quick fix is to close all the open apps, then it kicks you right back into the lock screen. I double click, then button in the top right and closes them all auto for me. I think it might be FB Messenger causing the issues but I can't say for sure. LMK if you that helps in the short term?
Am not running FB Messanger, so that's not causing it for me.
I'm using a pattern on my lock screen, not sure if this issue exists with all types of lock screens.
Hi all,
I've just installed CM 10.1.2 on my SGS2 (GT-I9100) yesterday and I had the exact same problem.
I've just figured out where the problem is:
I use Handcent SMS app, and when I receive a text, a quick reply window pop up. If I type my reply in it and hit send, it deactivate my lock screen.
Hope my answer helps!
I have the same issue. Disabled the popup function in Handcent settings and lockscreen i working.

There is an app that is bypassing the lock screen.
For me it was a proximity screen of app...
My N4 was away to repair a broken screen. Got it back on Wednesday and it immediately updated to 4.3. All was well, except for one weird issue where hitting a notification from the pull down would take me to the app via the pattern lock. I put this down to having played with some lock screen settings in Setting Profiles app (trying to disable it in certain settings), but it might not have been.
I've done the first device restart today, and after rebooting there are a few big issues.
1. I don't appear to have any mobile network, though wifi is connected. I had a good signal before the reboot.
2. I'm not getting a lock pattern or any lock screen at all, and it's not asked for the SIM pin
3. Hitting a notification in the pull-down makes the 'lock' clicking sound as it takes me to the app
4. The home button doesn't work. I see a slight dim of the screen and it makes the lock click sound, but nothing happens. Back and multitask work fine
Help! Any ideas? Are they known issues? Can't seem to find any reference online.
I'm on stock, using Nova Launcher

Those are not any known issues or anything I have read since Andrid 4.3 came out. Try a factory reset to see if that solves the problem. If not, maybe the screen wasn´t the only thing broken on your device. Ask for warranty.
Thanks, will see how I get on this evening and try a factory reset if it doesn't fix itself.
Seems to be a weird problem related to the lock screen and when it should/shouldn't kick in...

Glad I could help.
Ok, I've done a factory reset. Not had much chance to play as it took hours to reinstall everything. But I've just had the word issue where selecting something from the notification tray (the setting profiles shortcut) took me to the lock screen to put in my pattern first, then took me to the app.
EDIT no pattern to when it does it, seems random and can be while I'm using the device, so the lock screen shouldn't kick in for any reason
Any ideas? Faulty device?
Since I have had the gs7 edge, when streaming iHeart radio, the phone will randomly reboot about once an hour. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app; it made no difference.
Today when it rebooted it prompted me for something about "advanced features" then it continued on.
When it finished rebooting, I noticed that:
My edge panels weren't there any more.
When I pulled down from the top, I didn't see any notifications.. Now when I pull down, I only get a couple of rows, and no notifications at all.
My quick settings were unavailable to me; only a few at the top row
When I clicked on the gear icon in the upper right, it did nothing
The home button no longer worked.
The only way to get into settings was to go to the app drawer and click on the settings icon
My always on stopped working.
I rebooted, to no avail. I went into the settings and attempted to verify that my edge panels were turned onand they were, the aod was turned on, and it was,and now I guess I will need to do a factory reboot to get this phone to work again.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi, I've been using the essential phone for several days. I've installed lots of apps and other than a random glitch now and then, thinks have worked well. The system seems to be considerably faster than a Galaxy S8.
Two problems have recently surfaced. Smart lock is totally messed up (It was working for a while.) Now, when I get to the point in Security settings where I enter my pin, I get a blank screen. I've tried all sorts of things save a system reset. Smart Lock itself doesn't work any longer.
The other issue is intermittent freezes that last several seconds. Whatever the system is doing, it isn't responding at all. If I wait for a while, it proceeds to work fine.
Has anyone seen similar behaviors? Any suggestions short of a hard reset?
Thanks

Did you perhaps add a company exchange account or add some other device administrator? I've seen this issue on some of my previous devices where smart Lock is setup but my company's exchange policy disables it

For smart lock goto settings -> security - >trust agents
Toggle smart lock off, return to settings, go back and toggle it back on. Smartlock is back to normal, atleast this did the trick for me.
Thanks to both of you for ideas. I disabled two device administrators, both related to Lookout. I also deleted my fingerprints and all security. When I re-entered everything, all seemed fine. I will see if it behaves and then narrow it down.

I had to do this but I had to reboot instead of just exiting out of settings.
I'm running into this issue as well. Sometimes I can get it to come back, but then after a restart, it's broken again...

Ok, so it seems like the same issue is showing up for OnePlus devices since recently: https://forums.oneplus.net/search/13954406/?q=smart+lock&o=date&c[title_only]=1
I can get mine to freeze consistently by using chrome and browsing to flipboard.com. After I login the whole phone will freeze, not even the power button doesn't do anything. I've tested it out on a few other devices and I get the same response from my Nexus 9, also running 7.1.1. In this case at least I don't believe it's the phone but something to do with Android itself.
I'm getting the freeze as well but my power button works, when I turn off the screen and turn it back on it works for a few seconds and then freezes again

You had the Smart Lock issue too?! I did a Factory Reset to fix it here, no amount of powering off/on the device, toggling Smart Lock in "Trust Agents" did the trick, it just...was blank one day. I've had the freezes as well, haven't noticed those after the Factory Reset now that I think about that.

Interestingly, the pauses and stuttering disappeared at the same time. It is exceedingly difficult to convert these anecdotal comments into a meaningful diagnosis.
In any case, so far, so good.
Thanks! This is one of two major bugs driving me nuts!
Disabling then directly restarting worked for me, thanks for the tip!

The Smart Lock blank bug happened to me again yesterday, and I've been on NMI64c for a couple of days. De-activating Smart lock and rebooting got it working again.
Same problem with smart lock here and only solution seems to disable it, restart the phone and re-enable it...
Weird

You should be able to disable it in the trust agents settings, back up one menu the enable it again without needing to restart the phone. Someone else pointed this it out a few posts back and it's always worked for me.

1. Turn off all Smartlock agents that are on the list.
2. Reboot.
3. Turn them back on.
I have experienced a few freezes. Only after the phone sits for an extended period of time and it goes to sleep and after a restart. I actually haven't had this happen lately, seems like things some how worked themselves out. As far as smart lock I haven't had any such issue. I do have a question regarding smart lock. Do you guess have an option for enabling it when it is connected to a specific Bluetooth device?

All the on/off tinkering with trust agents has worked for me, but the fix has always been temporary. Smart Lock will be OK for a day or so before returning to its broken state/blank screen in the settings. Wish there was someone (a company) who knew what this was about and could fix it.
