I am rooted on 1.57 and have version 2 of GingerBlur. I wanted to set up a pattern and fingerprint recognition for my lock screen. I have the pattern setup so when I go to settings and click OK so enroll new fingerprints the phone sort of freezes. I tap back and home a bunch and after a couple of seconds it goes back. It won;t let me swipe my fingerprints though and add that to the lock screen. What do I do?
Unfortunately I have a similar probelm, I think. After updating to GB2.5 last night my fingerprint scanner has become totally unresponsive. I tried to re-enable it but don't really know how I would do that. When I go to set up a fingerprint scan it basically acts like I'm not swiping my finger.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Same problem; Atrix gingerblur 2.5 flashed from stock 1.26.
Did you guys ever find a solution to this? I'm having the same exact issue...
I had the same issue last week until I did a SBF flash to 1.87 and then re-flashed to gingerblur 3.5.

I am running DCD 3.2.0 and radio 3.42.02 on my Alltel 6800. Occasionally when I turn it on it will be the standard windows lock screen comes up and asks for my password. I have never set it to lock and I have looked all over for a new place in 6.1 for a lock but cannot find anything!?!? I have search all through DCDs threads thinking it may be a bug but cannot find anyone else with this problem, so it must just be me! Here is what I know:
In an attempt to stop this I set a password in the lock, and then turned it off. I still randomly get the lock screen and the password is never what I set it to so I have to soft reset to get out
Today screen timeout is off
There is no rhyme or reason as to when it occurs. Last night it did not lock after 7 hours of sitting, but sometimes it locks after Less than an hour of non-use!?!?
I use ultimate launcher, HTC Home via HHC, AEButton plus, magic button, and many many more, but have run the exact same config in several previous roms with no weird locking.
Any suggestions with be GREATLY appreciated!

Mine's in Start / Settings > Personal > Lock
see if you have that...
Thanks for the quick reply. I have that one unchecked. I am hoping there is a SECRET setting somewhere

Do you have Battery Status installed? I had the same problem & that prog has a lock device on wake setting
Nope, no battery status installed.
Thanks for trying!
did you try resetting your lock pin?
I recently purchased an atrix 4g and it has a really annoying problem.
About 50% of the time it when it wakes up from sleeping(i.e screen is off and i hit power button to wake it up) the touch screen is unresponsive.
The fingerprint scanner works fine but if i use that to get through the lock screen while the touch screen is unresponsive my home screen is unresponsive too.
I tried this on 1.2.6, 1.5.7, and gingerblur 2.5 and 3.0 and the issue still persists.
Any fixes? I got my phone only about a week ago, should i return it for a new one?
50% of the time is allot! I would take it back unless you think its an app you have installed causing the problem. Do you have apps like noLED or WidgetLocker or?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Also, do you have any Underclocking tool such as SetCPU?
Is your phone rooted?
I had this problem too and it still happens once on a while.... what I did was I've updated to 1.83 via OTA then used GingerBreak to gain root then installed GingerBlur 3.1, also I'm not sure if it has anything to do with it but it definitely became more responsive when I removed some of the widgets on my homescreens
I was used to using No Lock on my previous Android 2.3 phone:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jraf.android.nolock
Always worked flawlessly.
On my SGS III however there is an annoying side effect.
I tried it with a Pattern Lock and also a PIN lock.
With one of these active, and then telling No Lock to disable the lock, I can succesfully turn the screen back on without going through the lock. Great for car or desk use.
However as soon as I then select something from the Notifications pulldown, the Pattern or PIN lock suddenly pops up! It is like it was already running in the background, and then became activated or something.
I tried various alternative apps, such as Impel (with a script), No Lock Screen (with Only when charging), Auto Unlock Trial Edition... but all exhibited the same problem. Some would even change the Home button into a 'Show The Lock Screen" button... even worse!
I wonder if this is specific for Samsung, or SGS III, or ICS.
So, has anybody got a clue... or a fix?
I think it's an ICS thing... I've been using Delayed Lock for over a year and IIRC when ICS came out, this problem was present, however it was fixed by the dev. The other thing is that for DL to work on ICS using an unlock pattern, it needs to go in the system/apps but didn't need to on GB.

Thanks, I'll give Delayed Lock a try.
In the mean time, still open for other suggestions and/or deeper insights into this matter!
You can just disable the lock screen in the security menu, no? I used the rooted image and Odin to root my phone but I thought the image was all stock and I have the option to have no lock.
Hey all. I keep having a strange issue. I noticed after pulling my phone off my charger that when I went to unlock my phone that the lock that appears on the lock screen is very very small. I restarted the phone and it was back to the normal size. I received a text and opened it from the lockscreen and after that the lock was back to being tiny again. After a restart it is back to normal size again. Is this a setting somewhere or do I have something else going on? I am unrooted using stock lockscreen and Apex launcher. Thanks for any help.
I have had this same problem on my stock s4. It seems to occasionally happen after launching an app right from the lock screen like you said with the text message. The only way I have gotten rid of it was by performing a restart like you said. Not exactly sure what the full problem is yet.
My phone has been running on the custom ROM for about 1.5 years now, but since last weekend my fingerprint scanner is not functioning anymore. Not at all, or so it seems.
When I try to unlock the phone with the scanner while screen is off, it's not responding at all. When I first wake up the phone through either the power button or the home button and I tap the finger scanner, the screen first flicks off, then shows my background with the little unlocking icon on the top of the screen, but then it goes back to the lockscreen.
I have already restarted my phone several times, tried the soft reset and clearing out the cache. Not of them had any effect. I also tried removing the stored fingerprints, but that also does not seem to work. When I press the garbage bin icon, the menu freezes. The phone will still be functioning, but when I return to the menu, the fingerprint I tried to delete will still be there.
Any apps that use the fingerprint scanner to verify or unlock also don't work with the scanner anymore.
I do notice a little mark on the right side of the scanner. Alsmost as if it has a speck of dried up fluid on it, but I even tried to clean it with Isopropanol and it just stays there.
For me it feels a bit like there's a bug in the software. Has anyone ever gone through something familiar with their phone? Or does someone have an idea on what to try next, apart from a hard reset or changing the scanner.
After finding out there's been a newer build of Lineage, I decided to flash it. Problem's gone now, so I guess the software was corrupted.
