I'm getting extremely frustrated with the glitch that we all see on a daily basis: quick locking/unlocking of the phone will yield the unlocked screen followed by the lockscreen. How has this not yet been fixed by Google? Does anyone have a workaround? So stupid and unprofessional. It makes me sad :-(
What?

Lock your phone then immediately press the lock button again to get to lockscreen. Tell me you don't see the previous screen for a split second before the lockscreen shows up.

That's BS. It happens almost every time and on every Android device. It's not long at all, but there's no way that every time you try a speedy lock/unlock that you don't get a glimpse of what's hiding behind the lockscreen. It's the same thing with apps that have lockscreen widgets (like PowerAMP). Sometimes I'll get a glimpse of the stock lockscreen and then the PowerAMP lockscreen widget will show up.
Android seems to have a serious issue dealing with sleep mode and knowing what to do on wake.
well... it doesnt happen on my sgs2, my missus' sgs2 or on my asus transformer.
Whats the big deal anyway?
Try calming down and chilling out..... its only a phone.

I can GUARANTEE that it happens on your S2. It happened on my HTC Magic, N1 and my current SGS2. Maybe you don't notice it, but it's definitely there. I'm uploading a video now to demonstrate what I mean, including the PowerAMP issue.

Yeah, it happens. But I don't see it as a security flaw, sure for a split second you can access an unlocked screen but after that the pattern lock comes up followed by my widgetlocker screen
This does need to be fixed I agree.

Thanks for the USEFUL response! I don't see it as a security flaw either, just a massive unprofessional bug. TBH, it's things like this that are the reason why the iPhone is seen to be smoother and more polished. I don't have an iPhone, so I can't ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEE, but I'm pretty damn sure that something like this would never happen. And don't get my started on "only 1 phone to test on"; this has happened on ever Android device I have owned.
As you can see above, the issue is definitely there. Even if it is for a SPLIT second, it still happens and it shouldn't. And the issue with the PowerAMP lockscreen delaying for nearly 3 seconds should NEVER happen. Hell, I just tried it 15 times straight on my 2nd generation iPod touch, and it didn't happen once.
Honestly, if it takes Android purportedly DELAYING the screen wake by a second just to ensure that this doesn't happen, it's worth it IMO.
I see it when the phone has locked itself but not when I lock it using the power button.
I wonder if because the screen is off before actually locking the new lockscreen is not displayed until the screen is turned back on.
Agree it looks like sh1t when it does it.

I think he just means the "iPhone is better" war.
Not doing it here on KI8. I flashed and did a factory reset, wiped the dalvik cache and re-installed my apps and theres not a single glimpse of the screen under the lock screen.
I use a screen lock widget to turn off and lock the screen and the centre button to wake up the phone.
Trust me when i say it isn't happening on mine, it has done it previously and that's why i started using Widget Locker instead...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
i just spent the last 15 minutes trying this out on my KI3 custom ROM...not happening, goes straight to the lock screen (believe me, im anal about things...)
I think it depends whats on the phone, what settings are used, the kernel etc...
As its something we DONT all suffer from, will you change the thread title?
And you're following along exactly with how I'm describing? Immediate lock and unlock?
And anyway, I'm talking about STOCK Android without any "help". WidgetLocker/custom ROM isn't stock.

Yes me too, I have nearly burned my fingers off swiping my screen, and power button off. No problems with my K14 stock rom.
Maybe you need to clean up the App Cache, and use a memory booster as well?
Just a thought!
Sorry dont do split seconds .
jje
it does happen for me as well.. but yes only a split second.. i just lived with it.. think of it as a "feature" lol
I agree it happens on every android phone....heck its android lol! When i think of android i think of bugs lol. Again its very minor but u want see it on a apple device. Still love my SGS2 to biiits
Sent from my iphone look a like powered by android!
This irks me greatly, since it seems to have gotten worse on KI3. Has currently annoyed me to the point of trying a stack of different ROMs to see if any of them are better. CM7 is - shame it's not quite at a daily driver level yet.
hi,
i have this issue, everytime i make a call, once i press the call button, screen goes black, and i need to press the main button in the back to get it back, but sometimes it stay black and i can t hangup wich is a pain.
do you also have this? any idea how to adjust or remove that?

Do you have a full screen protector? A case that covers or youre covering the light sensor next to the speaker?
yes i do, you think that can be the cause?

actually it s not a full screen protection, it s the film that was on the screen when i bought it.
light sensor works fine
I got mine fixed by calibrating the motion sensor in display settings.

Sounds like your proximity sensor is covered up or not working. Do you have a screen protector or anything on the phone which might interfere with it? If so maybe remove it and retry. Also I'm sure you could find an app that would check it.

The Software is buggy and LG is not doing anything about it . I tweeted to them so many times and i thought HTC was bad.. they were amazing .. my first and last LG device .. however i am just confirming its not always proximity sensor issue .. Its the buggy software implementation.
i quite agree with you.... any idea when we get 6.0 ?
Would it be software? If we all have the same phone with the same software then we would all have the same problem, but we don't?
It's a software bug... Rebooting the phone fixed the problem， but then it starts acting the same way after few calls.
Sent from my LG-H961N using Tapatalk
You could try( if you haven't already), wiping your sensors. They sometimes get dirty & don't work properly.
I have same issue and have no protectors or covers or nothing just the stock phone. I think it's got to be some stupid software issue and it is very irritating. Went from one ridiculous phone into another headache...

Drama much? The phone has been out for barely more than a month... and not every phone is having this issue.
Process: Collect as many bug reports as possible, recreate and fix issues, release a patch.
LG is not going to release a patch just for your particular problem because you tweeted really hard.

Retarded much ? I did not tweet to them about this problem, many people did. I tweeted then wrt their update roadmap and yes the phone should not be out in the first place if it has such obvious bugs you are clearly not aware how responsible companies work. I rest my case. If you are happy then enjoy.

Well people value their money and thats why when they feel they have inferior product the will complain. Like micro scratches on the screen, bleed on second screen, back peeling off .. and if you dont have this issue does not mean these issues dont matter and it also means serious quality control issues at LG. You for one needs to get over yourself and respect other people's problems, i have none of the above problems except the software bugs, i still feel compassionate towards fellow community members who might have recieved inferior quality devices. I clearly understand your personality type, "I dont care if the whole world goes to hell if i dont have a problem i am good." You should try to be less selfish and i am sure i am not the first one in your life to call you selfish. Think about why those people think you are selfish.

I like the green icon, I have used xposed before to change colors in several icons, so, green batt is fine for me
I wild of loved a blue battery.
Hopefully they will give us the option to change it back. Heck they already give us enough useless feathers, please give us one we could actually benefit from.

It did, my new one has the green icon..
At first I didn't think much of it, but the more I see it, the more I think it's actually pretty hideous.
Btw, I don't know about the themes, haven't really checked that out, I'm using Nova Launcher and it's just green in that.
Please try changing the theme if it's always green in AOD?
Why didn't they patch the bad note 7's with a red battery to identify the bad ones instead? Dumb
The battery stays green no matter what theme you apply.
It wouldn't make sense to make it so easy to change as the whole point is to make it easy to identify a safe product and none safe product, and if it was easy to change no one will believe you have a safe device etc.

Tested. I've had my replacement device since 12th September and received the update yesterday.
I've tried three different themes and on all of them the battery remains green.
I don't see what the massive issue is with it. Yes it isn't white like the rest but does it fundamentally change the phone? No.
If you don't like it and it makes such a big difference for you then maybe the device isn't for you.
Yes I woke up this morning to a message that my device had update... and now have the green icon. I mind it less then I thought I would.
As the title says: Is there a way to force games into a 18:5 ratio? Most games don't work properly yet and have visual issues or are simply unplayable. I added 2 less extreme example.
PS: I'm talking about something like Samsungs app scaling settings. This phone is missing this option which is one of the biggest problems right now. Apps are obviously not always optimized for 21:9 yet so this is a neccesity. I hope Sony reacts to it as fast as possible.
Got a typo in the title. Can some moderator change this? That's a thing xda-developers needs to improve.

Hi, there is any way to turn off charging percent indicator at night? I mean, not the screensaver trick, a real method to turn it off, i use s6 lte as a phone and at night, when charging it lights entire room!
Thanks in advance
You find one, keep us posted. Hated when it showed up on my Note 9 and Tab S3. Hate that my Note 10+ does it. And now this thing. Stupidest idea ever as the replacement to the led light, and not include an option to turn it off.

Just the screensaver trick. Not sure why you don't want to use it, as it actually shuts off the screen if you use a true black wallpaper.

That's not true. I just tried it on my Tab S6 to test it.
1. Download a true black wallpaper. I recommend this one: https://images.app.goo.gl/VRJvYcK43nah9RFo7
2. Save that wallpaper in a folder all by itself. You can name it "Charging Wallpaper" or whatever.
3. Go to Settings > Display > Screensaver
4. Choose Photo Frame
5. Point it to your Charging Wallpaper folder
Click Preview and you'll see the NavBar disappears.

LOL, I'm not upset. I was trying to help you out, but no big deal. Again, I was asking WHY you don't want the screensaver. You come to XDA looking for answers, refuse to give info, then are rude to someone trying to help you.
Here's two non-screensaver solutions:
1. lay the tablet face down when charging
2. turn it off before charging it
Otherwise, you'll just have to deal with it, as I said. And in the future, there's no need to start a new thread for something that has already been discussed in multiple other threads. Especially if you're just going to dismiss those of us trying to help you anyway. Peace.

Sorry but I agree that the screen saver trick isn't a good workaround for everybody, mainly because it only works if you let the screen go off automatically. First off, I like to have my screen auto turn off set to the highest value of 10 minutes and secondly most video apps block that outright while content gets played back. So if I am in bed watching a video but decide that I rather just have the audio playing with the screen off my only way to archive that w/o having the charging information be displayed is first exit out of the video app to the home launcher and then wait for ten minutes while the screen is blinding me...
I have no idea why some idiot at Samsung though this to be a feature that we need at all.
Turning on DeX Mode disables the charging indicator.
I found a way to disable the charging notification if you restart the tablet plug the adapter while it's restarting.
