Almost every time I push the power button to turn the screen off and then unlock the phone again almost any app I'm in has been closed. I mean it can be literally lock the phone and unlock it right away and it takes me to my home screen instead of back to the app I was in. The app is still in my recents, but as soon as I unlock the phone it takes me to my home screen.
This is happening on my unlocked version directly from OnePlus. When I try it on my T-Mobile version it doesn't close the apps and unlocks right back where I left off. It also is working correctly on my Pixel 3 XL and the RAM management is currently absolute trash on that phone.
I'm using Nova Launcher on both phones, I have tried turning off battery optimization and advanced optimization and it still does the same thing. When I use the stock launcher this does not happen.
Anyone else seeing this or know how to fix it?

i use Nova Launcher too. Dont see any issue so far. When for example Chrome is open and i lock the phone (powerbutton) and unlock again, Chrome is still open.
(i have a non-T-Mobile 6T from Amazon with unlocked Bootloader and Magisk, running on OOS 9.0.5)

Thanks for the quick reply, it's really starting to annoy me and I'm running basically the same setup as you.
I've done everything short of a factory reset to try to fix it. I might have to do a factory reset when I have a little free time.

Thank you, well that helps me rule out that it has nothing to do with routing or bootloader unlocked. I was starting to think that might have had something to do with it because my T-Mobile version doesn't do this.

It doesn't always do it. I just did a test and the xda app was right there when I unlocked.
But it happened to me literally every time I locked the screen last night. Even for this short amount of time.

Same thing here it doesn't always do it but it doesn't have enough to be really annoying. I can't seem to find any Rhyme or Reason as to why it's doing it.
Edit: I just walked my dog for 10 minutes came back unlock my phone and it's still on this XDA page like it's supposed to be. SMH
Ok, so this has bothered me a lot as well and I have mentioned this and a few other issues in one of my earlier posts.
It's definitely a bug especially, as it does not happen everytime (only most of the times) and OnePlus has to fix it.
However, I do have a theory on why this happens. OnePlus has added a new feature (quick launch?) which let's you access app shortcuts when you press and hold the fingerprint scanner even after unlock. Now this overlay would presumably not work very well if you're inside an app.
So I think OnePlus takes you to the home page to prepare for this quick launch shortcut overlay display.
Obviously, this is a new feature and I believe needs some more development and bug fixing.
I would've hoped that at least turning the quick launch feature off would rid us of this problem, but sadly it doesn't.
Hopefully it's fixed soon.
can you guys check if you have my prob aswell?
copy paste from my thread
I have a super annoying Problem when using Nova Launcher. My Dialer minimizes when i move my Phone away from my Ear. To reproduce: Open Dialer, minimize the Dialer, open again and make a Call, block the Sensor with your hand shortly. Looks like the Dialer crashes but it minimizes. For ending the Call i have to press the little icon in the Top Bar to maximize it first. Super annoying and with this Problem Nova Launcher is unusable. Somebody else with that Prob or someone have a suggetion to fix that?
I noticed the same problem, I thought I was just swing up to go back home before I hit the power button to turn off the screen out of habit and not realizing it. Glad to know I'm not crazy. I am stock from one plus but running Nova launcher.

I'm using the Google Dialer and not the stock one and I just tried it by covering the sensor and when I uncovered it the dialer was still there. But if I lock the screen and then unlock it it's gone.

Not my find but there's an update to the OnePlus launcher in the Play Store that once you update the issue with Nova goes away.
I updated from the Play Store and tried every single app on my phone and when I unlocked my phone they were still there no more going straight to the home screen.
New OnePlus Launcher update fixes the problem.. OP Launcher 3.1.2.181109163305

Has anyone found a fix for this yet? Only issue I've found thus far with the ROM. Otherwise, it's great!
Doesnt do that for me...
It does for me on the newest Fresh ROM. Doesn't really bother me being that I rarely unlock the screen that way. If I had someway to disable that method of unlocking alltogether, that would be better IMO.

Any idea how to fix this?
Installing Espresso or DROID launcher from this thread will fix it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=657728

I'm almost positive that this has always been a feature of the HTC lock screen even in 1.5
If you don't fully slide the lock screen a message will appear stating either fully slide down the screen or press menu

That's hardly a "fix". That's like saying you can fix the low tire on your Porsche by buying a Yugo....
I would pay cash money for a ROM that got rid of the double menu press to unlock.

I would say the issue is hardly a "bug".
But, if you want it fixed, I've given you an option. I don't know if I'd compare installing the espresso launchbar or DROID launchbar to downgrading from a Porsche to a Yugo.... but, if you were really interested in fixing the issue without using espresso or DROID, you could install one of those launchers and then reinstall the stock launcher and see if the problem stays away.
Or, you could wait until someone else figures it out for you....
All I know is that I am running DamageControl v2.05 and no longer have the menu pop-up issue.
Droid launcher does resolve that issue. I have come to like the style of it for now until the next version of this rom comes out. This is an issue with flipz rom as well. The Droid launcher works good on each rom.
Just to everyone is clear, the problem is new with the recent roms DC and Fresh.
Pressing menu once brings up the lockscreen, pressing menu again unlocks the screen AND brings up the white menu popoup. It should only unlock the screen and not open the menu.
I have installed the black droid launcher onto fresh and I no longer have the problem.
yea i have teh same problem, and its annoying as hell as thats usually the way im used to unlocking my phone, and what they mean is, click home once to wake up phone, click again to unlock and it also brings up the home menu, it never did it on any other rom. its annoying

Just to be clearer. This was a built-in function from 1.5, its on page 10 of the Sprint manual. HTC considers this to be a feature, not a bug.

Incorrect. On stock 1.5, from the lock screen, you could press menu to unlock instead of swipe. Now, if you press menu from the lock screen, it will unlock AND pull up the menu.
Regardless of whether this is a feature or a bug, it was not like this in stock 1.5.
There seems to be a quite nice lockscreen app on the market - Lockbot Pro which costs $3.5! It has several lockscreen styles that
you can use and it includes the iphones as well. Quite amazing! But.. while most of the feedbacks are great but some say it breaks
the notification bar and lags when locking or does not lock at all(mostly on G1 and Droid.).
So if anyone here actually tried it on the Desire please tell me how it performs. very much appreciated!
I've tried the free version and its pretty good apart from one major issue.........the Home button is still active!!!
When the phone is locked the Home button will wake the phone up without a lock screen. Once this has been fixed then it will be well worth $3.50
I have the Lockbot Pro 1.3 on my HTC Desire and it works fine but you can´t disable the home button ;(
I tried it, and here's my take:
Full lock replacement, lots of looks and plenty of themes. Choose your own background image. You can choose weither or not to have the notification bar on lockscreen, and if you do you can access it the same way as when you're in home.
The lag is there, but nothing major. Basically if you lock and unlock within half a sec, you'll notice the lag. As long as you lock, leave it, and unlock later (normal usage) there's no problem.
I don't think it shows album info, sms or even alarms on the lockscreen.... But I didn't really pay attention to this because:
My biggest issue is that its an app, not a lockscreen, so it gives you NO security at all. The main reason why i do not use lockbot is that I need a security pattern.
This one bypasses androids security lock, but has its own built in version which is ok. You can choose either code or pattern.
BUT the problem is that you can hit home and you bypass all security! Whats the point of security if you can bypass it??
Hit home and lock gone, security or not.
Also another issue is that security pattern delay app doesn't work. I want security to kick in after 30 min...
You can wake screen with all buttons, which is nice, but no exclude function. (I dont wanna wake it with volume buttons..)
If lockbot adds security delay timer and makes sure you cannot bypass it no matter what, and also adds an option to chose which buttons to wake screen with, it would be the best app out there.
ATM i think it stinks (reason: security), but thats just my 2 cents
newest
I just tried the newest version. I think they fixed the home button thing. But it's kinda hard choosing a background for it. (and it's not so smooth as the default lock)
Home button bug is finally fixed.
But it really sucks that I'm in a country where I can't dowload paid apps. Is there any other lib where I can BUY! it?
Anyone who knows if I would be able to download it if I would go to the Netherlands?

I currently use WidgetLocker - it allows you to set different styled lockscreens (e.g. vanilla stock, vanilla rotary, etc) and even add widgets to the lockscreen.
Cool app imo
I encountered a weird bug. If you open the properties button on the Launcher at top of screen and then click the "notification" tab, the tab pops up but never goes away. Click the Launcher setting tab again and nothing happens. At this point I rebooted the tablet to get the notification dialog box to go away.
Any ideas?
Hit the back arrow...
I tried that but did not work. All menus lock up after that. Reboot works.
Wow, that's definitely a bug - got the same thing with Launcher Pro when I clicked on Notifications. Needed to power down the device as it was (almost) frozen.
Anyone know if this occurs in builds before the 2.03 (performance pack)? I'm just wondering if this is the PP at work, or if this has been around since the first TnT Lite builds.

I can confirm the same results with 2.2.0 and launcher pro...almost frozen and my keyboard would not open.

I can confirm this on TnT Lite 2.00.
EDIT: I found that if I tap on the battery or wifi indicator, it resets the notifications, and the problem goes away after that.
Just wanted to confirm the same thing. I'll tap on the battery twice and that makes it go away. Glad I bought this thing, I love the feeling of discovery I'm getting from testing different apps and firmwares, haven't had this much fun since I hacked my first PSP!
Same Issue w/ ADW Launcher
I have encountered the same issue but only with ADW Launcher. Everytime I try it it eventually freezes with a white notification tab open. Launcer Pro and the standard launcher works fine. I have tried reinstalling ADW 3 different times and same results. I am running TnT Lite 2.2
I've had it happen with ADW and the swipe down action configured to pop up the notification panel. I never identified the actions it took to actually get it closed again, but I've been able to recover without having to reboot. 2.20 here for me also.

Wifi sleep policy does not work
Anybody else has this problem? My wifi immediately switches off if I put tab to sleep via power button, despite the fact that I put policy to never sleep.
If I'm understanding everyone here, when you swipe up or down on the home screen the battery notification bubble pops up and the controls on the top freeze? I fixed this by going into ADW's settings and disabled swipe up and down.
ETA it wasn't the battery bubble, it was notification bubble. My fix woiks - lol.
Tapping the wifi or battery icons does reset the notification dialog box. It would be nice not to have to do this though.

I found this to be a problem when you have gestures activated in ADW. I don't make my notification bar disappear, so I disabled gestures and the launcher notification bug went away. Of course, this does take away the gesture functionality, but it's something I only accidentally did anyway.
Ehun,
On a different note, thanks for your awe review of the g-tablet, made me go out and buy one!
You mention that it was hard to see buttons in the dark, I worked aroundit but using the buttons on launcher pro. If Only there was an app to poweroff the device it would be great.
Thanks.

Click on the actual notification bar and it should clear it out. It seems to be a screen glitche where the pop up ends up on the left side of the screen and slightly off screen.
Thanks for the reply. I will try as specified. you do a great job with the support! Thanks!
"Quick Boot (Reboot)" from Sirius Applications Ltd on the market will let you reboot, power off, or boot into recovery. It's free and it works since you've more than likely got root. Be careful though: it does have a 29.18kb footprint if you're short on space. B)
mine now doesn't have a bar going across or something to drag down like iphone/htc sense - the whole image moves instead? seems very weird and would like to change it if i can?
i can't see an option to though. would prefer an pure android type of unlock method (with a custom wallpaper though). can i do this without rooting? want to leave that for a week or 2 to get used to the phone 1st

Widgetlocker is very configureable and you can tell it to stop waking on certain button presses. I am currently using it here and it is pretty awesome.

Edite widget locker settings, if i'm not mistaking you can disable hardware buttons unlock
ta, but i already unticked everything i could under buttons and inputs but vol down e.g brings the unlock screen up when it should do nothing
think it's a limitation of android and can't really 'replace' the real lockscreen as such. maybe a version that requires root will do it, who knows.
at the very least this will cause battery rundown.
You are right. I missed your point. I was talking about unlocking. Device wakes up when you press the hardware buttons, but will not unlock with the settings i was talking about.
i missed that part of yours too.

Hey! I just rooted my Oneplus6T, installed Nova Launcher and a screen rotation controller app, but I still can't keep the lockscreen in Landscape mode.
I double tap to wake the phone, it comes up landscape, I swipe up, but then the screen always rotates to portrait for the pattern (or the PIN, I tried that as well).
I've already altered the build.prop file, but it still hops to portrait every time. Is there anything I can do to fix it?
I tried a lockscreen replacement called "Hi Locker", and while it worked, you could just get right through it to the home page and do stuff, so it's not secure at all.
Thanks!
I just tried Substratum "Subtweaks" and it doesn't work either! Help!
So everyone else's phone stays in landscape when they enter their pattern to unlock?
Seriously, it would help if I knew this was JUST my problem. Might help me figure it out. Thanks!
Well, I'm glad to have joined such a robust, supportive community. :\
Pretty sure the lockscreen is only portrait. Why anyone would want it in landscape is beyond me, probably why it's not there at all.

Every time I want to unlock my phone in the car, I have to do it sideways. I used a Note 3 that gave me a Landscape Mode Lockscreen for years, so it's certainly possible. I much prefer it, and I would like it on the Oneplus 6T, please.
And thank you, Bladestonez, for responding to my question, even if it was just to imply that it was ridiculous. Never settle! :\

You can always flash an aosp rom. I'm pretty sure aosp has lock screen rotation, you will however you'll loose the fingerprint scanner but it appears you don't use that anyway so might be a good option. Could also suggest lockscreen rotation as a feature for future builds of oos.

Hey! Thank you. I root to block ads and back stuff up, not to start installing custom roms, so I may just wait and see if they can add it officially. I did a little dance recently when I was able to install the latest OTA with Magisk without losing root. That's about as far as I want to push stuff like that.
I DID try the build.prop code, and while it does make the "swipe up" screen Landscape, when I do swipe up, the "pattern dots" screen rotates to Portrait.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqMiWAlAaUI
It's not a deal-breaker, it's just stupid. As well as my Note 3, every tablet I've ever had has given me a Landscape Lockscreen, so it can't be THAT hard. They probably just decided no one wanted it and didn't include it (or inadvertently disabled it), I guess.
If anyone has any other ideas, I'm all ears. Otherwise, I've already been in touch with Oneplus and I think they put it on the wishlist for me. Gonna start holding my breath... NOW.

Yes, I know my case is the opposite, but you can use the same app.
My case:
Today I have noticed that on lockscreen the screen is rotating what did not happen before. I have tried several Rotating apps but none of them could block rotating of the screen while on lockscreen.
Lastly I managed to force it to portrait mode with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pranavpandey.rotation
In the Settings - Conditions - Lock Orientation - it has to be set to Autorotation OFF then it works. When I set it to Portrait it doesn't.
So in your case you could try setting it to Force Rotation or Landscape.
