[Q] Cyanogenmod 10.1(.2 or latest nightly) - Lockscreen Problems

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?

standard was automatically after suspend, but i tried both settings now and nexus wasn't locked after both

I just went back and used Widget Locker again, no more problems with that.

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.

Help! Several major issues on 4.3 (home button, SIM, lock screen)

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?

Anyone having issues with phone rotation & fingerprint unlock dissappearing?!

Had the BEST VR experience to date last night using the bundled Gear VR and playing Gunjack/Lands End until phone ran out of juice...
However that experience was marred when I fired the phone back up this morning and found that all the applications have suddenly starting rotating into landscape and despite rebooting twice, I cannot change the behaviour (it was fine yesterday). Ran some sensor checks which appear to be OK. I don't even seem to have a rotation lock button available as I did on my Note 3 as a workaround.
Adding to this, I have also noticed that the fingerprint unlock feature seems to have disabled itself, even though it's still enabled in settings together with stored fingerprints. I know this is a new device, but this is pretty basic stuff that should be working... Not impressed!
Any others having similar issues?
Thanks,
G

Fixed... kinda
I since discovered that the rotate lock had become enabled and is still available on the settings icons (didn't recognise the icon in the locked portrait state). It actually did it again this morning and appears to be defaulting to this state after a cold boot - weird)...
The fingerprint issue appears to have been caused by loss of the screen timeout/instant lock with power button settings; however I hadn't changed these values, so there do seem to be some software glitches that need ironing out...

Leaving app open, unlock phone, goes straight to home screen

Has anyone else had this happen? Happens quite often for me. I'll be playing a game at work, get up to do some work while leaving game open. Come back and unlock the phone and it's on home screen. Does the same thing while listening to Pandora.

I've never noticed that happening to me, I just tried to reproduce it with not luck. How are you unlocking the phone?

Either fingerprint or iris. It does it with both. I don't see it happening when turning phone off and on right away. Phone usually sits a few min before it does it.

Battery optimization setting probably. Try disabling optimization for an app that currently does it and see what happens

That didn't help

Couldn't replicate issue either. Let Rayman running and screen went off for about 5 mins. Unlocked with fingerprint and went directly to the game. I had power saving off and performance mode set to optimized.
OP do you also lose your place when it directs you to the home page? Or does it resume when you reopen the app?

It resumes when reopened.
Power saving off and performance mode set to optimized as well.
The one app where it does it almost every time is Star Wars: Galaxy of Hero's. Only other app I notice it once and while is Pandora.

Are you sure you aren't iris unlocking it without knowing you are? Sometimes mine unlocks almost instantly when i press the unlock button. Or when I turn my screen on to check the time.
Is "iris unlock when screen turns on" enabled?
Lock screen & security > iris scanner

I'm sure. Most of the time my phone is face down and I grab it by the side and put finger on scanner. Turned iris scanner off just to be sure and it's still doing it.
Also does it with line messanger...

I have this exact problem as well. Seems to happen rather randomly.
I sometimes see the app actually minimizing to the home screen when I unlock the phone, so it's probably not some background task killing it.
The app is only minimized, not killed.

I have this issue as well.

I think I found the problem. Uninstalled bxActions and as of the past 2 hours the problem is gone.

i have this issue but i don't have bxActions so i don't think that is the problem

Are any of you happening to use the long press home option, the one that bypasses the lock screen? Even though you may not be using the home button maybe the option is still affecting the apps that are open and thinks for some reason you're pushing on the home button.

It might be an app causing it. I still haven't had any issues since I uninstalled bxActions. If you don't have that installed it could be a different app causing it.

I was also having this issue. Stopped bxactions and the issue is gone. Started bxActions back up and issue came back.

Same problem here. On Verizon s8 and no bxaction installed. Very irritating!
Unrelated but another problem is when I change to aggressive wifi/cell handover in developer options it allways defaults back off after a reboot? Any ideas??

Android 9 crash and restart after disabling airplane mode?

Hi,
have you ever experienced M1 crash/restart after disabling airplane mode on stock Android 9 (update 057 or 058)?
Breaking the rule "never change what's working fine", yesterday I installed the 057 and 058 OTA stock updates.
I have AccuBattery and Screen Lock, too.
After leaving the phone in airplane mode all night (as I usually do), the phone seems to have crashed and restarted shortly after I disabled the plane mode. The phone was locked, I tried to unlock with fingerprint, but the phone was unresponsive. After a couple of seconds, it showed the Asus splash screen and restarted. Very disturbing.
I might think of something involving the Screen Lock app. Android Pie does not seem to require the biometric unlock fix option, so I had not enabled it. Now I enabled it again to check if the problem repeats.
Thank you and best regards,
/_uke

I am sure that occurred at least another time!
After staying in airplane mode for several hours, the phone seems unable to connect to any cell (signal indicators remain empty), then it restarts by itself and I find it asking to enter the post-boot PIN.
Thank you and best regards,
