Lockscreen BUG, Omnia 7

As of late I've noticed that when I wake up my device it'll take me to my tile homepage (or the page I was on previous), then quickly forward me to the lockscreen where I'm prompted to enter my 4 digit pin. This never happened before and I'm wondering what's causing this.
Has anybody experienced this?
Here's a video of the bug that another Omnia 7 user is experiencing:
http://www.youtube.com/user/Omnia7Samsung#p/a/u/0/isi5aKDjnws

Wow, so nobody here has experienced this issue with their Omnia 7?

Mine doesn't do that, but I can definitely see how that would be really annoying. Does the same thing happen when you wake it up with the power button?

Mine doesn't do that either..
I have no password and currently using a transparent lockscreen wallpaper.
Tried it with password and still doesn't do it...
I wonder what is causing it?

My Omnia7 doesn't show this bug, neither I use the lock code nor without.

It happens when I power on the device when it's sleeping. I went over to the Microsoft forums and met some guy from Europe who is also having the same problem. One of the mods said it could be due to the fact that there's an app running in the background. I did a factory reset and still had problems though.
I just hope the phone itself isn't at fault. I wonder if the update will fix this ....

A user in the Omnia 7 forum found the solution to this bug. Apparently if the Automatically Adjusted brightness setting is off, you'll experience the bug. If it's on, you won't have the bug.

Confirmed. Aaand It's even more annoying than I thought. It's a good thing that the brightness thingy works alright

can;t replicate it on my Omnia 7!

Thank you, fik87.
If you have an Omnia 7, could you please try to replicate the bug!

Yep, i can confirm this as well ....

can someone please explain the steps to recreate this bug?
you have to have a PIN
you have to have your screen brightness on high, medium or low
(you have an app running and then press the windows button?)
lock the screen
and press the windows button to siwth on the screen
is that right?

Have a pin, set your brightness to high or medium. Then put your device to sleep. Now wake it up, and it should flash to the page you were on previous, then take you to you to the lockscreen/wallpaper.

ooooh
got it working..
you have to do as you said but the brightness set at medium..
high and low doesnt work for me but if I set it at medium then it does flash the screen before the wallpaper.
and yet it disappears after the first two times for me

yes, after first two times it dissapears but after certain time it sometimes appears again.. strange.. Do you think its only omnia 7 problem or WM problem?

Yep I have this too, not a big issue for me, but still it should not happen.

[Q] Reinstalling with offical rom

Hello forum,
So i've been searching for a while and i cant really make heads or tails of this website.
I'm an old fart basically, and this stuff is ahead of myself.
I've had the moto defy since it's release date, and it's now full of random junk eating at the memory and random apps that cannot be uninstalled. I've tried master resets and sd card formats, but the files are hidden somewhere in the phone memory.
I just want a clean 2.2 android thingy for my defy so i can start fresh. nothing modded or different. just like reinstalling windows, or turning the pillow to the cold side.
Thanks in advance

HaHa cute analogies
You said you tried a master reset. I dont know what method you mean.
But have you tried this.
1) Turn off your phone.
2) Hold Down the Volume Down Button. Keep it held down.
3) Press Down the ON button untill the phone turns on (remember to have the volume down button pressed)
You Will come to a screen which looks like this in the middle.

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
If you see this screen GREAT!
if you see the screen mentioned above you can let go of the holding down the volume down button
4) Press the volume down and volume up button together.
5) this will bring up some options
Like shown below
Use the volume down key to go down the menu and the volume up key to go up, press the ON button as a select button.
SO using the up and down keys and the ON key to press select
6) Wipe the Data
7) Wipe cache
8) then go up to reboot
Let me know if this helps or if you have tried this already

Hey thanks for the reply.
Yeah i tried a wipe/reset in both the boot menu and the in phone settings menu.
It doesnt seem to remove any of my user added apps, or change the home screen layouts in any way.
It's as if i simply turned the phone of and on again.
My memory card is removed and formatted, so it's only the apps left on the phone memory that are getting stuck behind.
Should you all need any specific information about the phone (if it helps) i'll be on all evening to answer questions.
Thanks for the reply, and thanks again for reading my post

That is the darndest thing i have heard.
If it says it sucessfuly wipe the data and cache
i dont understand how ur downloaded apps can still be in there
can you give some specfics apps that wont go away?
One way is you can reinstall a new SBF but i would not recomand that at this stage, that should be the last option

Well,
Isn't this something... I just tried for a 4th time to wipe everything on my phone, sort of a last ditch effort.
And wouldn't you know it, it's all gone now! Honestly wasn't expecting that.
Seem's i must apologize for wasting your time, but my phone answered the question for me, in the end.
I'm not 100% sure but i have an app called CardioTrainer. Don't remember it from the original phone but i don't remember installing it either, and i cannot uninstall it.
Oh well, i'm content for now.
Thanks for the replies, and sorry i wasted your time!

CardioTrainer, 7digital, Zinio e-magazine service etc
they are the preloaded apps that come with the Defy+ and most probably the Defy.
They are installed into the original ROM and will always be there unless u root your phone and delete them manually which i can show u how too if you wish.

Long tap on it and select "App info", then tap "Turn Off" button to disable it.
I also turned off "Samsung Link" app on my Note 3.

Tried clear cache, so far so good
Edit: Clear cache did not work, had to freez the app using Titanium

hm
Ok so looks like the best idea is to disable the app so will do that.
Is there any reason why i might not want to do that though what dose the app actually do and it really should just work the first place should it not? ??

What do u mean they don't work? Try to reboot your phone and give it another go, worst comes to worst go to recovery and do a factory reset and try again. If not I'd think about returning it as faulty.
Sent from my Nexus 7

thanks for the reply i meant the test on my ambient light sensor score fail. i notice it when i put it on auto brightness...brightness on my phone does not change at all..i did a factory reset and still the same...can you give procedure to do a hard reset? what shall i do? tnx..only those 2 fail on my results the ambient light sensor and the g sensor,,,g means gyroscope?

Both g-sensor and light sensor fail for me too. Wouldn't worry about it too much.

Download CPU Z app and it'll show what sensors u have

hello, i got 550ml and light sensor in SIMMI test work if you use a torch or something to the capteur it will change light and Pass the test , Anyway , in auto brightness , the light don't change even if i use a torch .
So its probably a bug , and my gsensor fail too , but no need and its normal i think,.
I send a mail to asus supp about the lighsensor , you can do the same if you want them to fix it since its proably software .
Sorry for my english , and hope for it to be fixed . Cya.

ok i will email them today ty for the info

Hi , can any one please paste what sub menu is under simcard_test and simcard_test 2 !!! Thanks

hi , in fact G sensor work too , you have to turn the phone in every direction (horizontal,vertical) and it will PASS.
there is no sub menu on sim test , it just say PASS when you have a sim in it .

Dude actually in asus you have two applications from which you can test the hidden menu of the mobile through secret codes
one is the phone dialer and other one is the calculator app
i found the instructions HERE

Dude, do you see that this is almost a year old post? And what you posted won't work on a custom ROM. Simmer down bud.

this really help for me

Can you guys check something with the camera?

Ok, so when the screen is off and I double click the power button to utilize the camera feature, after taking the picture, my only option if I click on the picture (via little button on bottom right), is to delete the picture, and none of the other options offered in the gallery, like edit, SHARE (which is my issue I'd like to do!), etc. . .you'd think all of the options would be available after taking a pic by double clicking the power button and waking the phone. . .
If the phone is on and I double click to get to the camera and subsequently take a pic, all of the options are available. The problem only seems to be when the screen is off. . .

This is because your screen is locked, and the phone won't allow you to share and access other personal features without unlocking your phone.

Hmmmm, interesting. Guess that makes sense, so you can take a picture but not do anything else. . . .except I have smart lock enabled and my phone is unlocked while at home, bluetooth devices connected, etc. . .

That's pretty much it. You probably have the lock screen security features enabled which you choose when you first setup your device and set a lock screen. It's a smart feature for security reasons. Otherwise someone can find your phone and start scrolling through your nudes. As for smart lock the device is still locked unless you swipe. It doesnt take you straight to the home screen when you power on the screen again. Yet again a security feature. Common sense really

yep, as Valkiry said, as long as you don't unlock the phone, even if it's only a swipe, you don't get the access to it. If you want full access, swipe first to unlock, then double click power button into camera, now you will have full access.

Understood. Just thought that smart lock would recognize the camera use and all it's features, that's all. . thanks for the explanation guys!

If my screen is off, not locked, I get the menu. This was just a test shot. And yes, puggle is licking the couch.

See? That's what I was wondering my phone should know via Smart Lock that I'm home therefore should not be locked and if I double click the power button to take a picture I would expect to have all the options on what to do with that picture once I push the right side / preview button
