I was having problems with my data connection not working so I reset the phone and restored with titanium backup. Got the data working again, but now there is no security lock. I can enter no numbers or any numbers and hit the OK button and the phone unlocks. When i go to location and security and click on change screen lock, the next screen appears briefly then closes. The swipe fingerprint button on that screen is greyed out. So the security feature is disabled.
I have all the files from an older titanium backup when the screen lock was working. I am wondering if there are any files i can replace to get it working again. Any ideas appreciated--
Fingerprint Restore Problem
If anyone finds a solution to this problem, would you mind posting it?
This is the second thread I have come across while looking for the answer, and like a lot of the time when the original poster figures out a fix, the solution is never posted in the forums.
I just ran into this problem this morning, and I'm running in circles trying to figure out a fix. I would greatly appreciate any help anyone could offer on the issue.
Thank you,
-Newbie

My screen lock is still disabled.
did anyone figure this out? im having trouble changing my screen lock. it keeps briefly going to the swipe finger authentification then popping back to the location and security settings screen. i cant change anything
Is there anyone who can help with this?
I seriously want to throw my phone at the wall right now...
I just flashed my Atrix and reloaded all backups from titanium pro and the issue I'm having has to do with my security settings. Every time I click on "Change Screen Lock" the prompt for my fingerprint comes up for a second and then goes away.
I had a fingerprint prior to the flash and I believe that's why I'm having an issue. I've already tried clearing data in Titanium pro for my settings and my fingerprint scanner 2.2.1.
I can't think of anything else to do, any help would be appreciated.
I shouldn't reply to this with an answer because YOU should know how to search as this has been discussed many times before (4 old threads that i can count).

Yeah, well I didn't see those threads so maybe you know something I don't...
Anyway, I don't understand that fix. I ended up just deleting the backup in titanium and flashing again, now all is well.
Thanks for the help any way.

Hey guys I searched, but couldn't find anyone with the same issue, so hopefully someone could help me. My touch pro is Sprint (Don't know if it makes a difference), but I can not answer any of my calls being hardware buttons or screen, nothing works. I've been using s2u2 and never had a problem, but I uninstalled it thinking there may have been an issue, but no, still happening. Sometimes if i hit either the hardware or software key a bunch of time it will answer, but only like every 1 out of every 10 times. Also I've been calling myself to check and the call will only come through 1 out of 10 times. Any ideas what could be causing this?

If your out of options try a hard reset. That should fix it.

I agree. go to settings, clear storage and type in 1234
phone will reset to factory
Can't Answer Calls
Before you do a hard reset, I recommend that you read this thread on ppcgeeks http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=40427 , it took a a couple of weeks to figure this out, but it worked for me.
Good Luck.
Well, today my girlfriend found out that she can play Words with Friends on her Samsung Fascinate. Only, she had AdFree for Android installed, and it was causing numerous errors. So she did what any person of average intelligence would do: She googled an answer.
http://neallambert.com/?p=5
The gist of the issue is, when instructed to make sure her screen matched the screenshot exactly, of course she didn't. She dd'd two extra lines. Since then, she's not been able to search or go home.
When pressing the Search or the Home Softkey, it provides the haptic feedback and blinks the light, but nothing happens.
Also, I installed Galaxy Tuner as a workaround until I discovered a way to fix it (or enlisted the help of those of you here that are far more savvy than myself), and mapping the touch gestures to home and search, the same thing happens. Meaning, when the specified gesture for home is executed, it will provide the haptic feedback, but nothing else happens. So it registers the command, but it is not completed.
If you have any ideas how to fix this, or can just point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!
Flash THIS FILE via CWM and it should reset melfastouchkey settings.
good day.
Hey Chopper, Thanks for the response. I did flash the download, but it was still exhibiting the same symptoms. In the end, I just did a wipe/reinstall.
hi
can anyone please help me?
i have had an atrix for almost a year now and have had no issues with it. recently i took a big step and decided to get the cm10 rom by th3bill onto my atrix!
all worked fine for a few weeks until about a week ago. i noticed that my lockscreen pattern wasnt entering as normal. the pattern would not connect to the dots i wanted it to. on the main screen if i tap on the central button to get to the menu for my apps it will automatically respond my touch to the right/left icon and take me onto my contacts/sms instead. also while typing certain letters e.g "t" will not be recognised and instead "r" will show up instead.
somehow i managed to remove my pattern lock but the other issues are still present.
i thought that it may be a bug with the rom so i decided to go back to cm7.2 which was running perfectly on the phone thinking that this may be the solution, but even that rom is now giving me the same problem :crying:
can someone please advise me as to what the problem is/what i should do?
thnx in advance
Ok so i also had/have this problem. You can find a temporary solution and info here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27595402&postcount=1
I replaced my digitizer and the dead zone changed position.So know that replacing the digitizer might help or might not help...
Good luck
Oh and always search the Solutions to common problems thread before posting!
Hello all. Ive seen a bunch of the threads of people talking about issues with their device, but I've found a few weird bugs that I haven't seen anywhere else, so I wanted to see if anyone else has seen these/knows a solution.
Before I get started, I have a 32GB WiFi only N9. I installed that first firmware update that you get when you start the device, and nothing else. I have NOT rooted, installed a customer kernel, unlocked the bootloader, nothing. My current build number reads as LRX21L.
1) Heads Up Notifications. I don't get them. Period. This was a Lollipop feature I was really looking forward to, and no matter what app it is or what I'm doing, they don't give me a Heads Up popup. I don't think I did anything that would turn them off, it's just weirding me out that it's not happening. Is there a toggle somewhere that controls it?
2) Flashlight Toggle. I love that we finally have this, but the weirdest thing happened recently: it vanished. Like just totally up and vanished. I've only used it a few times in the week I've had the device, but I've never even touched the Cast Screen toggle and it's still there. Honestly, I used the flashlight toggle less than 24 hours before it vanished. How do I get it back?
I'm inclined to do a factory reset and see if it fixes these issues, but I wanted to check with you folks first. I also feel like I'm forgetting a third thing, if it comes to me I'll add it to this post.
Thanks in advance.
Sorry to hear about your problems. I'm also not receiving heads up notifications. I have notifications set to "always interrupt", but have never received a heads up notification.
I still have the flashlight quick toggle, though (located under "invert colors").
I'd flash the 21Q factory image. You'll have to unlock the bootloader and flash it manually. If you still have problems it could be a hardware issue.

I saw this and was wondering if it's related to your flashlight issue: http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/11/17/lollipop-bug-leaving-the-flashlight-on-until-it-times-out-breaks-the-camera-and-flashlight-until-you-reboot/
Anyone else experiencing this? Less than 10 seconds after I fingerprint unlock, sometimes the screen will go black while I'm reading a message or whatever. Other times it seems to be triggered by a touch action, like pressing on an icon or clearing a notification.
I found no setting that explains it. Screen timeout is set to 1 minute. I don't have any third party lockscreen or display related apps. It's been happening for as long as I can remember with this phone, and I thought the January update might fix it but it persisted through. Faulty proximity sensor maybe? I'm starting to contemplate warranty servicing.

I think it's A12. On the P5 you could look at the device and it would stay on when doing something. The feature, although there is a setting on/off, does not work any longer. I never had it on the P6 shipped with A12 but on the P5 my wife has the same problems since updating. So perhaps a proximity update will fix it but if all else is working the replacement will almost guaranteed be worse.

Are you using a custom kernel or have had a custom kernel installed in the past?
If so, you will need to try a factory reset and complete full stock image.

I saw that setting but I don't see how it's relevant. Even without that setting, the display should not turn off on its own before 1 minute of inactivity.

No. I didn't do any modding beyond bootloader unlock and root with Magisk. I flashed the January factory image a few days ago and rerooted, but as I said the problem started long before that.

I didn't realize you were rooted, I usually don't read signatures. Have you unrooted and tested? Other than that I'm not rooted so perhaps someone can help you out. Maybe change the title of the thread so rooted folks will jump in with suggestions. Good luck.
Looks like the issue might have come from the launcher I use, Smart Launcher. Specifically a setting called "Smart Screen Off" that's not working as intended. I turned that off and so far I can't reproduce the issue.
