Edit!
I fixed the problem. I was going over my apps and their settings and I noticed that one of them,battery indicator pro had a lockscreen off feature which was flipped on. Totally weird! But I have my lockscreen back! Woot!
End edit :-D
Out of curiosity, has anyone else experienced this?
My 3VO's Lockscreen has disappeared. Legit.
When I press the screen lock button it simply doesn't. It turns the screen off, but it doesn't actually lock the phone.. as a consequence now the phone will do random things in my pocket and its annoying as hell.
I've tried a number of things to restore it just short of a full reset. That I'm trying to avoid because I use this phone as my main one and to restore all my setting would suck major ass.
Please someone shed some light on a solution for me?

Have you rooted and frozen some of the HTC APK's? (There's one for the lockscreen, I'd imagine) That's what it sounds like. If not, I'm not exactly sure what you can do aside from a factory reset...

I haven't even touched the whole perma-temp root thing. When we get permanent root then I'll crack this Guy open. But till then.. I'm not interested in it. Besides I actually like the sense 3.0 locksceen.
I seriously hope I dont have to factory wipe this thing. If i tell the phone to use apassword or pattern or pin code to lock up then the screen comes back .. but that's a pain in the ass to always unlock the stupid thing

I'm going to be blunt here and say straight up that I don't remember how my phone used to answer phone calls......I know that sounds stupid but I literally do not know if I slid to answer, or pushed a button, or what....but here's my problem:
As of right now, if someone calls my phone while the screen is off, it will pop up with answer and ignore buttons. This has enabled me to "pocket answer" twice today, because when I try to get my phone out of my pocket, one of my fingers hits "answer" .......... surely it wasn't like this before? I have never had this issue.
How does a stock atrix handle calls when the screen is off? How do I get it back to the way it was? I feel like a full-retard for not knowing what it used to look like, but I cannot remember!
Call screen pops up with sliders. Remains locked afterwards. So you can answer calls without unlocking your phone. If you are managing to stroke the sliders in your pocket, who knows whats going on in there!
My phone has had sliders for answering/ignoring calls since I bought it on 4.1.26.
Do you have your phone set to auto answer? Settings, call settings, auto answer.
If the screen is on and a call comes in you should see "answer" and "ignore" buttons. If the screen is off and a call comes in you should see slide to unlock buttons for "answer" and "ignore". I don't think there's any setting to toggle to enable/disable the s2u for answer/ignore.
When you wake your phone do you see a slide to unlock screen or does it just go straight to the phone home screen? I had this happen to me and a factory reset fixed that up.

LOL! Well that's the thing, right now it doesn't have sliders, it acts like the phone was in use when the call comes through, I get the same UI, the answer and ignore buttons at the bottom...no sliders.....
how do I get my sliders back? I am using widgetlocker for my lockscreen.

disable widgetlocker and see if you still get the problem behavior. Here's an old thread describing your exact problem with widgetlocker being the culprit. It's over a year old so I would have thought it would be fixed by now. dunno.

It was indeed widgetlocker's fault. That makes me sad why would it change all of a sudden?
Yeah i had that problem with widget locker as well when i set the setting to disable all default lock screen. I was hoping they'd have this fixed by now...

I'm assuming widgetlocker was fine and dandy before the 2.3.4 OTA update right? Anytime there's a major release level update, e.g. 2.2.2->2.3.X, lots of things can go bonkers for 3rd party apps. Some things can break even with a minor release update, 2.2.1->2.2.2, but it's not as likely. It's just how it is in the world of software. fun huh?

I'm still on 2.2.2, I have another thread asking about updating hehe
oh . Well anyways you can always send an email to the widgetlocker dev(s). They probably already know about the issue but it doesn't hurt to send them a nice email about the problem.
So, I can't seem to be able to use a picture from the gallery as the lock screen wallpaper anymore. I used to be able to do this but it suddenly stopped working today. Any thoughts on what the problem could be?
Using a picture from the wallpaper gallery app still works though. But I can't add the picture I want to that gallery.
What happens exactly? It just doesn't show the gallery option?

So I've tried going through both the settings screen and the gallery. Everything will seem fine, it will even bring up the wallpaper changed notification, but when I go to the lock screen, the old wallpaper is still there. I'm at a loss so any help is appreciated.
Edit: I'm on a P769BK, if that helps.

I have the same model. This happened to me after rooting a few times. You may need to re-run the root and reboot a few times. If that does not work try a factory reset.
Honestly I would do a factory reset

Imma try both methods when I get home. Thanks for the suggestions.
Well it turns out I didn't need to do either of those things. I just used titanium backup to wipe the lock screen settings app's data and it worked like charm. Thanks anyway for your help.

Thanks for the tip, I've struggling with this issue for days I didn't want to do a factory reset it's just to much for a simple wallpaper change.
I did a wipe form titanium... and Voila it worked flawlessly.
The thread title pretty much says it. I'm running CM10.1 nightlies on a Galaxy S2, and it has happened in several different versions. I used MagicLocker for a bit, using its screen security, but recently switched back to WidgetLocker. I thought this may be caused by MagicLocker somehow, so I uninstalled it. Screen Security is still defaulting back to slide. I really don't know of another app that would be doing this.
Hopefully one of you know what's going on.
Thanks.
Have you tried a hard reset or asking in the GS2 section if anyone else is having similar issues with the ROM you are running?

If by hard reset you mean restart the phone, yes. Have I wiped and started fresh? No. I'd like to see if there's something I can just toggle or if I'm overlooking something stupid first.
My next stop was the GS2 forum if it didn't get solved here.
edit:
Something more specific to add is that it only defaults to slide after my first unlock with protection on. I can even restart the phone right after setting up the lockscreen protection, but, as soon as I unlock the phone, we're right back to it being set to slide. It's really odd.
Well I figured out what it was.
PhoneLocator Pro was set to "Lock automatically OFF" in the "Screen timeout & Lock" and lock settings menu. I guess I didn't set that properly after changing roms.
Derp. :silly:
Since a few days my S3 is opening the home screen itself, so basically the same action as pressing the main button of the S3. It does that especially after a fresh start for 2-3 minutes in an interval of 10~ seconds and afterwards randomly. Surprisingly this doesn't happen in fullscreen games.
There is no black screen or any pause, it simply changes the the homescreen in a normal way and I have no idea why.
Does anyone has an idea what could cause this problem?
I removed a few applications recently like Link2SD, SDBooster and Volume Locker. Are the removals maybe related with this issue?
factory reset and see

On my note 8 the screen won't shut off when using the phone causing multiple screens to pop up that I have to swipe away just to get back to the phone app. Did I miss a setting somewhere?
Thanks
Sorry, didn't realize this posted twice.

You need to make sure your face is completely against the phone and make sure the screen is clean also.. If that doesn't help check some of the settings in the actual phone app.
