Anyone please help...
I'm unable to set up screen lock on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. I am able to set up passwords or lock pattern but unable to turn on the screen lock. Screen lock says off and when I press to turn it on, it just goes back to set up menu.... I have seen couple of post with the same issue but no one has replied.. I'm assuming I'm not the only one with this issue....So I'm posting this help again to see if anyone out there can help out...
Thank you.
I'm having the same problem. I noticed right when I configured him for the first time and I never made it work since then. I tried to restore the factory settings 3 times, restoring and not restoring the backup from google, changed the language ( long shot, i know ) to english ( mine is in brazilian portuguese, from VIVO ) and I could not get it right yet.

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,

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.

You're not searching right. There have been at least two threads about this issue just here in the XDA forums that I've answered this in.

Though please note that my fix only works if you have root. Do you have root?

ok, thanks i´m sorry for the mistake i didn´t search it that way, besides the name of the post is quite different from that i´ve searched but still thanks for the help man, and i´m not root yet, i´m a little affraid of rooting my phone because when the screen is black in the camera app, there are zones of the screen that looks a little bit darker than the others, and i think soon i´m gonna have to take it to warranty, that´s the main reason of why i don´t root my phone
Hello.
I'm having problems with my Samsung GT-I9000 ( Galaxy S 1 ), and was hoping I could get some help here.
About 4 maybe 5 months my phone has been having crashes (Is as close as I can explain them)
This is what happens:
- Talking to somebody on Whatsapp (for example, but it also crashed on me while playing games, and even when calling)
- I lock the screen and lay the phone down
- After about 2-3 seconds, the screen lights up. And shows me the conversation but does not respond
- Phone goes black for about 5 seconds
- Light vibration
- Screen shows the lock screen, loads my background and scans for media
This happens randomly about 5-10 times a day now. (Depending on how much I use the phone)
It also sometimes just turns off without any animation or sound.
What have I tried:
I first thought it was the ROM, I'm sorry if I make mistakes here but I'm a noob.
The ROM was put on there by a friend of mine, it was called Darky's ROM.
I tried to put a differed ROM on it, but the tutorials failed on me and I killed the phone. Not the "Black screen of death" but beyond that point. It wouldn't even turn on anymore.
Then I send it back to the provider, they took 2 weeks to fix it and I had my phone back. I think they put the default ROM on it but I'm not sure.
Anyhow, this did not fix the problem. As soon as I had my phone back from repair, it still crashed.
I have also updated the phone with Samsung Kies, as shown in attachment 1
Now I don't know if I should send it back again, since they couldn't fix it in the first place, or to just live with it.
The phone's "About phone" page is attachment 2
Thanks everybody for taking the time to look into this.
It's the default ROM they put on again.
I have a friend with the same phone and her's is acting so slowly for such powerful device!
Try setting up a new ROM. I know it's hard, but it's better with the no-lag fix etc...
i heard Darky's Rom is really good, but I bet there are other ROMs who are amazing.
Tutorials are kinda hard to follow for that device, but you can do it
But putting a new ROM on it didn't help.
I can believe the default slows it down, but this problem started on the Darky's rom, and is also still happening with the default.
Is not so difficult, you can change a ROM in like 10min. Try to update your phone to ICS, I'm using ICSSGS and it's blazing fast

Thanks I missed that one.
And thanks Dante for trying to help, but as I said before, changing the ROM did not help, nor updating it.
Anybody else any ideas?
...anyone?
My SIII screen keep auto lightning up (and turn off) 3 to 5 times for every ~5 minutes without any notifications or messages incoming. Can anyone help me to fix this error?
Sorry if this topic is already posted. I tried to search for the similar topic but the search engine seem to be unavailable now. And after looking in about 10 pages in SIII Q&A forum I gave up @[email protected]
Do you have any apps installed that need active connections or precise timing.
(E.g. ClockSync, ...)
same thing here.
Hi I also experienced the same thing after updating to the current firmware thru Kies (im currently at i9300XXALF6) but before updating it I didn't have this symptom before, also my friend is experiencing this after the update also.
It just shows the lock screen for no reason.

no , I thought it was because of some new apps I just install. I uninstall them , still happen
then I update the new firmware through Kies , still the same
I even tried turn off the auto brightness --> still happen
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
