Does anyone know of an app that locks all the buttons and the screen but leaves the device on, i know about the default button lock in setttings, although I need all buttons and the screen to lock whilst listening to MP3's?
I seem to recall seeing something similar on Microsofts Ford Davidsons Blue Angel.
try mortsaver 2
it's in beta stage but works like a charm
you'll have to search a little bit or try this one
hey all,
I have two problems, I had three but i searched the forum and found one the other two i can not find.
1. Sometimes my touch pro when i press the power button to lock it the four buttons on on the bottom stay on and will not turn thier backlight off. the only way to fix it now is to reset it it when it starts up. any cures?
2. I dont use any roms i just use the sprint tf that it comes with and when i use the music player on there i would like to be able to lock it turning off the screen to save battery and continue to play music. problem is when you lock it it stops the music for you. maybe a registry edit to fix?
Thanks guys I appreciate all the advice i can get

1 - Not sure.
2 - Go to my faq (link in signature)
Scroll down till you find a cab that says keep music playing.
Install it and you're good to go.
(reg location available for those who want to do it manually)
Also, if you want to use anything else in the faq,
in post one, there's a link that shows what's vga compatible.
Make sure you read that before installing anything else.

1. dunno..
2. if you just launch wmp instead you can turn off the screen.. but aboves cab sounds more like youd want so you can still use TF
Hey thanks guys, yeah that first one is sort of a mystery problem, Im thinkin its one of my apps so i just gotta go through and see what I can do. Thanks again
#1. my VZN TP does this every once and a while but all i have to do is turn the screen back on and press the end key and hit the power button again and it is gone. that works 95% of the time give or take.
weird and terribly disappointing. Once in atleast 15 unlocks, when I press the power/wake button, screen just doesnt respond. I try to swipe, but no response. But when I press wake button to turn off screen and press it again, theres no issues. This happens only during unlocking screen. Did anyone face this issue?
rest all is good..no lag..once unlocked phone works perfectly...no lag..no getting stuck..again, let me tell u this issue happens once in 15-20 lock/unlocks.
I think I have the same issue as you, but in case I don't I will post what I am seeing on my device.
In about the same frequency, say once in every 15 unlocks from phone sleeping, the screen will come on but will be completely unresponsive. Doesn't matter if it is swipe unlock or pin code etc, there is no response to touch input on the screen. In fact, I think the screen is just frozen or the operating system is causing the lock screen to hang.
If the lock screen is hanging, pressing power will:
(a) sometimes make the phone sleep again
(b) make the phone screen kind of glitch/blip and then it takes input again
(c) does nothing and the screen remains on and hung/frozen
Occasionally mashing both the volume key and power key will help fix it, but usually if it is completely stuck I have to do a hard reset (holding HOME+VOL UP+POWER and then selecting reboot from the menu).
Now - I think this could be an app, but not sure.
When I first got the phone, set it up with my Google account etc, it went ahead and downloaded ALL the apps I had installed on my previous phone (HTC Sensation running Android ICS). So if it is an app, it is having issues with this phone, not the OS, imo.
I uninstalled all those automatically downloaded apps, and used the phone for a bit without my normal stuff installed. Then started installing apps singularly.
I think it is either Facebook or Alarm Clock Xtreme. The latter makes more sense given it would be polling the system to find out when to go off, so it is doing more in the background I would expect than Facebook or any other non-system app.
Other apps I have installed/running:
Swiftkey X
3G watchdog
Dolphin Browser HD
ES File Explorer
Winamp (locks without this running or running at all in lock screen mode, so that is not the issue)
Real Calc
Google Drive
Facebook
Alarm Clock Xtreme
It is quite frustrating for a brand new phone to have these issues. Not sure if it is hardware related, and if it is, I want to find out soon so I can take it back to carrier within their 28day device swap RMA period.
Thoughts?
So others may try to help or identify the possible cause / fix .......
What is your firmware version?
Are you rooted, custom ROMs or Mods etc?
Stock ROM,Baseband : XXLE8. Build No :XXALE9.
But my screen responds after i press wake button again. You are right seems to be issue with the app. i will just compare your apps and below are the ones which are common between us.
Facebook
3G watchdog
Dolphin Browser HD --i never use
Google Drive
a fix that worked for me
Steps to the solution that worked for me (so far) were to uninstall:
1. Alarm Clock Extreme (no noticeable result but I wasn't needing that application anyway)
2. I had WIFI Fixer installed because of the problems I experienced with the WIFI connectivity on my Galaxy S3.
I disabled that application and problems seemed to go away for a time, but every so in a while they resurfaced. Much less often than before, though.
I was still stuck with my WIFI problem anyway, so I looked into solutions for that problem and since I could not find a workable solution I uninstalled Wifi Fixer and started tweaking my WIFI settings.
While doing that I noticed that disabling "Network Notification" under the Settings -> WIFI -> Advanced tab fixed both my problems.
Now I can't be 100% sure this solution works for all, but I am pretty sure the application that created the problem was "WIFI Fixer".
It's been more than 4 hours now without the "disabled unlock screen from hell", and I’m very happy.
LOOOL
Actually...
My WIFI problem was not solved.... but I found a solution on another forum , which you can read below:
I dialed *#0011# then pressed menu button, then selected WIFI, and pressed the button to turn off the "WIFI power save mode". Hit back until I was back in the homescreen. WIFI has worked to my satisfaction ever since.
This is not a solution, this is a work-around....
It will remove the standby wifi.... My phone was at 0% battery in one night... But actually yes, the phone doesn't hang up when unlocking.
Someone who had replaced the phone could tell me if the problem is solved with a new one ?

This looks like a bug from wifi, i had the same problem and i found a fix:
On the dialer type: *#0011#
Then press menu -> wifi, there is a button ON ( power saving or something ), change it to OFF.
let me know if it solves ur problem
It worked!!

This worked for me!!! Thank you!! I was about to take a hammer to this phone! :good:
I seem to have another problem. When unlocking the phone the screen turns on in a quite ok amount of time, but then when I touch it immediatelly after it turns on it doesn't react to touch. This moment when touch is not working is getting longer and longer depending on how long the system is running, anybody else sees this?

Not sure what ROM and kernel you are using, but at a big guess, try reflash another kernel or with less aggressive settings.

hey guys. I have a problem with my s3's lock screen similar to the described. whenever I press the power button to unlock, it takes 2 second for the screen to turn on. Anyone got any ideas on that?
Hello everyone, I just got my mediapad M5 last night, I was eager to watch the new episode of Better Call Saul, it streams in HD and all, but when I am watching anything, and If lets asy I touch the display to rewind for 10 seconds, or move the bar, IT GOES BLACK, if I let go my finger it plays normal.
I was reading that this may be cause by another app drawing over the display and the netflix app freaking about thinking someone wants to record it and take pictures of it naked.
But I disabled all the apps drawing over other apps, restarted, to no luck,
Anyone else gets this?
No one? really of all the 38 people no one can check?
I don't have Netflix installed and I'm not even 100% sure of your issue (i.e. when you touch the screen to rewind, it rewinds but the screen goes blank underneath the overlay? or it doesn't rewind and the entire display goes black)
It could be an app issue. If you have 'disable HW overlays' checked in Dev Options, that could cause such an issue. EMUI's battery optimization is pesky and could be an issue. You should have the app set to 'manage manually; in launch, you should have 'disable battery optimization' checked, if rooted you should use Titanium or Service Disabler to disable Power Genius (which is responsible for EMUI's aggressive battery optimization). Getting rid of Power genius solves various pesky issues with no negative effect on battery life.
OMG finally someone, thanks for your reply,
Its not a faulty device since I already tested my fathers M5 and it also has the same issue.
The issue is as you say, whenever I touch the device and it brings the netflix overlay it turns the background black, and when the overlay fades away it returns the video feed, but it doesnt pause, since the movie keeps playing and the audio keeps playing also.
The issue is that whenever I touch the display to bring the overlay controls

We are having a similar problem, but with the mouse cursor. This is with the MediaPad M5 with attached hardware keyboard.
As soon as I move they mouse cursor, the image goes black. The video keeps playing, you hear sound, but no image. Wait 15 seconds for the mouse cursor to fade away, and the display comes back.
Also, the last word from every subtitle line is missing, as if there is a text scaling issue where the text gets wrapped to a next line which isn't displayed.
Hey Everyone,
I updated to Pie on my V30 (H932) after the flashable zip was released, and noticed this eco playback when I connect my phone to a USB C display. Oreo didn't have this, and I'm having a hard time finding whether this can be disabled or not. I would LOVE to disable it since it dims my display, and puts up a message about swiping to bring the phone out of eco playback mode. There is an option to tap a floating icon and choose to keep the screen on, but it seems to randomly revert back to dimming the screen when idle (watching a video on the external display). As of me posting this, the icon is actually stuck on (icon is still on my screen after disconnecting the display), and I'm sure it will go away after rebooting my phone, but I'm not wanting to reboot right at this time. Does anyone know if this can be disabled? Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Oh, and just another note, the big reason I'm hoping that this can be disabled is that when I'm using the USB C display, I also have a bluetooth mouse and keyboard connected and in closer reach than my phone is, and when the eco playback message is on the screen, you're not able to click anything until you swipe or click and drag to the side to clear the message.
