HELP PLEASE SOMEONE! :crying::crying:
My ROGERS Samsung Galaxy SIII LTE SGH-i747M running Jelly Bean 4.1.1 has a lock screen bug! I have been googling around the web, but still couldnt find anyone with the bug I am having right now, so i am asking for someone to plz help me out here! The bug just started today, my phone is set to "Swipe" mode on the lock screen, so usually I would just need to swipe my screen to unlock my phone, but today, when i press my power button OR home button, my phone turned on, and showed my lock screen for 1 second, and it unlocked by itself. I didnt have to swipe or anything, all i did was pressed my power button OR home button, and it unlocked by itself. I know this is just a minor problem, but it is so annoying! I am sorry if i dont make any sense, because its hard to explain the situation I am having, but plzzz someone help me out here!
Thanks!!!

Goto settings >security and check what they are set at under lock screen. Less security than swipe is none, which means once it wakes up you are on the home screen.

But the problem i am having is that, mine is set at "Swipe", and before the bug happened, i can swipe my screen and unlock, but now, all i have to do is just turn on the screen with power or home button and my lock screen wall paper will show up and then half a second after, it will unlock to my home screen by itself, and it wont let me swipe.
The above bug happens to me sometimes. I then switched to using a pattern on my lock screen.
If I leave the phone unattended sometimes for a few hours, when I "wake" it, it reverts to a "swipe" to unlock instead of my pattern of password that was set. My phone is stock 4.1.1 and not rooted.

hi,
does anyone know how i can set it so the screen auto locks after a given amount of time or is there a freeware app that can do this please. because i rather have it that having to remember to press the power button to lock everytime, sometimes i might forget.
cheerz,
snoop
Lock the Screen? Power-Button simply switches the Device of, e.g. the screen. In Power Management you can set a Device timeout in Battery Mode and on AC Operation. This is equal to pushing the Power Button
I think i see the problem, or i'll tell my problem with that issue...
When you push the power-button the screen turns off and is locked, but if you receive a sms or so, the screen returns back on and is not locked...
ok ye i think u get my point.
i dont know about screen lock after receiveing sms or call.
but i c the point of samson, pressing the power botton does lock the screen.

look for deviceock or vj devicelock.
There is a today-application called BatteryStatus. With its help you can lock the device automatically when it is shut down. Does the job for me - of course you allways have to unlock the device after turning it on.

If you had bothered typing 'BatteryStatus' into Google you'd have seen it was the first hit. Establishing it is the right program is simply a case of reading the web page. Why are people so goddam lazy these days?
yes ok i get your point. sorry.
right i have installed. lots of nice options and things. but have little problem now. As we knw the device has the function where as the backlight will turn off after a set amount of time. Mines set to 30sec for battery power and 1min for external power.
After 30secs (using battery) it does its job and turns off the backlight. Normally i would press the power button and device turns back on. HOWEVER! since installing batterystatus the device just wont turn back on. I mean its got enough battery, i can tell this because 1) the light at the top flashes 2) Heres the strange thing , the only way i seem to be able to waking the device from backlight is by pluging in the usb cable.
So i thought i would try and un-install the app see if that would help..but nope that didnt help because it still does the same thing.
After installing the app i did a soft rest. I thought it might help, but it didnt. This is the other thing, once i did this, i see the t-mobile splash screen where shows the ROM and other info. And then i just goes blank for a while....and then i see the T-mobile PIN entry keypad splashing by every few secs. I was only able to by pass this after trying and trying to enter pin number on a black screen.
Do you think i should do a hard-rest? Dont really want to do this. Means i have to re-install my little apps and contacts, email settings etc etc.
Can anyone help me with this problem please??
Hi there, i had quite te same problem, after a soft reset the backlight turns on until the bootup screen dissapears, then the screen seems to be blank, but it shows everything, but without the backlight on. You have to point a light onto the screen and you can hardly see wats on it.
Then go to the backlight settings and turn it up.
Then you have to look at every program, thats adjusting the backlight settings and turn of automatic darken screen or so in the program.
That helped for me.

And :S stranger thing was that the problem didnt happen this time, i saw the t-mob splash screen, saw the windows mobile green splash screen and then my keylock and then pin number screens.
hmmmm no idea wots that was all about. but hey its all working K.O so im happy now. just got to fiddle with the settings now

Why does HTC DESIRE locks screen and i need to click on POWER ON again?
And also for ALARM it needs to be powered on?
nobody can help?
What help would you like? It is indeed the way that the phone works

Since if it doesn't lock screen, you would complain at it answering calls while is in your pocket, and similar situations
For alarm it turns on itself (just like when you're receiving a call) and gives you option to dismiss the alarm or snooze it (pull down to dismiss, like when you unlock it... or click if you want to snooze).
Well it kinda sux, don't you think?
Anonying always to pull down and turn on power on everyt time...grrrrrr......
Got to disagree, it would suck much more if the touchscreen didn't lock. Never seen a touchscreen phone that didn't lock the screen, for very obvious reasons!
is there any possibility at all to unlock screen without pressing on power button?

Hello,
I've been using my new note 2 for two weeks now.. and I like it so much
I also used sgs2 and 3 before.
I'm not new to android.. I flashed roms, know every single setting in the device, rooted my sgs2 and tried lots of apps to customize them.
Regarding my issue, I like to set my device to none screen security because I always manually lock it with a press on the lock screen button after I do whatever I want to do with it, and to unlock I always press Home button to get back to where I was immediately without the need to swipe the lock screen.
The problem is when I lock it and there is an app running and then press the home button the screen goes to home default screen and do not just unlock the screen and keep it there where I was last, this was not the case with my sgs2 or sgs3.
If I press the lock screen button instead it does what I want but I prefer to use home button because its much easier.
Its not a big issue but its annoying sometimes because sometimes I get popup notification windows while the phone is locked (whatsapp for example) and I press the home button to see it and instead of just turning on the screen to see the window it goes back to home screen and the popup is gone, or in cases where I'am writing an email or reading something and meanwhile talking to somebody, if the screen gets locked, If I press the home button everything is gone. So I have to switch tasks to open my activity again.
I don't know if this is a jellybean issue or hardware (homebutton).
I know its not a big deal but I would appreciate if somebody can help get around this

It seems to be a jellybean feature no way around unless a mod comes out...
All jellybean roms in Note I had this feature and i remember seeing this thing on SGS III jellybean too
Just install the S Voice app , "voicetalk_NLI.apk".
In S Voice, set "double click active S Voice" will fix the issue.
This actually worked! Thanks
But the problem is that i use another app (home2) to control home button which makes me able to control what app runs when double clicking home or even use a combination of home with back or menu.
Its a very good app if you want to try it.
This leaves me with trying to deal with my original issue tho or just return to old factory setting

thanks man! used to annoy me so much having to open the app again
edit. There's one slight problem, now it lags a bit to return back to the home screen..
I'm not rooted...yet. But the problem that I am encountering is everytime I wake up my phone and unlock it, it goes to the last screen I was on or app. Its a minor problem but is there anyway to set it to always awake up to my primary homescreen. I'm on Nova Launcher if that helps.
Do you have any other apps that have anything to do with the lockscreen?
Do you go to the last screen if you wake the phone by pressing the home button and then unlocking?
The reason I ask is that if I have no lock screen and I wake the my Note II by pressing the home button I go directly home. If I wake the phone with the power button I go to the last app I was using.
This does not happen however if I have the lock screen enabled. I am then always taken to the last app. Never the home page.
Update 20130201
Since updating to 4.1.2 the home button now behaves how I want it to. It takes me to the last app or screen that was open. It does this even if i do not use a lockscreen

Nope I recently got this phone, the only major would be the Nova launcher.
Yes regardless if I used the power or home button, if I was looking at my settings it will unlock to that. I've even tried removing the lockscreen and I still have the same issue.
my only suggestion is to look for a lock screen replacement app that lets you choose any application to start whith the right "swipe"...then assign the launcher to one of the icons...I know that Apex has a widget that will "launch" it - i.e. take it to the home screen! Now all you have to do is invoke that kind of a thing in the same way you can go into messaging or email from the lockscreen...
I know for a fact that widgetlocker has an option to unlock to the last page or app you were on or unlock straight to your home screen.

Hello neighbors. Im working in cotulla tx which is 45mins away from laredo lol

I have cm11 and if i power on the tablet and let it a couple of minutes it is freezed at the lock screen. I cant unlock it by swiping the screen and i cant press on the clock widget. If i press the power button it turns on or off the lock screen but i can still do nothing. Only way to restore it is to keep pressed the power button to hard reset the tab. It boots normally then if i unlock the screen and dont let it auto lock. Is anybody else experiencing this issue? It gets really annoying. Could it be the nova launcher because i cant remember this happening before installing it.

Your guess seems to be on the money. Stay away from all those launchers.

yep, i disabled the option from nova settings to autolock the desktop and that seemed to fix it. This option prevents any changes to desktop and it looks like that it conflicted with cm11
