[Q] lock screen stopped working - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello,
My lock screen is no longer activating. I have changed the timeout to various times yet it never comes on.
Anyone else have this problem?

Have you tried rebooting? Hold down power button for around ten seconds.

yes, still nothing.
Also when I click > configure lock screen > it just goes back to the previous screen.

You could try wiping and reflashing.

Screen Timeout issue with GreyBlur

Hey folks, I was going to post this in the GreyBlur dev thread but my post count isn't high enough so I'm here...
Anyway, I'm having an odd issue with the screen timeout. Earlier I would use the phone, set it down, and the screen would not shut off until I hit the lock/power button. It would just stay on forever. I noticed in Settings - Display - Screen Timeout that I had no choices in there except for "0 minutes". That's it, nothing else.
So I decided to reflash, and now the screen is turning off by itself after about 15 seconds but still in that same menu there are no choices except for "0 minutes" and it's radio button is not selected.
Anyone have any thoughts or experienced this before? I'd appreciate any tips. Oh, this phone was new out of the box and GreyBlur was the first and only ROM put on here. No dealings with Titanium Backup or other potentially weird stuff.
Thanks for your help!!

[Q] CM7.1 Screen off reboot?

Couldn't find much relavent information to this, but has a quick Q.
On CM7.1, After the screen timeout delay, where the screen automatically turns off (1, 2, 5 mins..), or if i even turn off the screen (not power down), sometimes it simply won't wake back up and i need to reboot by holding the power button down.
Anyone else experiencing this or know how to fix it, or simply a known issue?

I had the same problem when running this, turning off wifi sleep and the on/off animations seemed to fix it.

[Q] What can I do? Only black screen

Hi guys!
I have a big problem with my Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Everything was fine, before I launched a game (Angry Birds), and then my Tab was freezed and now I can't do anything with it. I only can see a black screen, with the notification bar, at the bottom, but it doesn't make anything when I touch it. I can't turn off, and I can't take out its battery (why...). What can I do? I tried to plug it to the charger, but nothing has changed.
Stock ROM.
Thanks in advance!
Did you try holding the power button for a long time. like 30 seconds?

[Q] Lumia 800 screen timeout issue

Hi,
I apologise if this has been asked before but I did a search and have found no solution that works.
From yesterday my Nokia has had an issue with the display dim and timeout. When the phone is first switched on it works fine and dims and locks within the set time (30 seconds) once I start using the phone say I send a text, put the phone down it just stays unlocked and does not dim. Also, if I press the power button to lock the screen it does not go black it locks the screen but stays lit (like when pressing power to see the time when locked) I have updated the software, this did not fix the issue. I restored back to before the update. I've also gone to settings>about> reset phone (I've actually done this several times) but the issue is still there!! Do I assume there is a fault on the phone now or am I missing some simple solution?!? It is driving me mad as it was fine. I'm in Cyprus so I'm not sure how easy it is to take to a service centre. Any ideas please?
Thanks in advance

Wake screen with home button and no lock screen iffy

Those of us who didn't use a lock screen on the GS3 know that the Jelly Bean update screwed up our ability to wake the phone with the home button. I instead of just waking the screen it would trigger a home button action, i.e. exiting whatever screen you were on and returning to the home screen. The workaround was to enable the Home Screen double press to trigger S Voice. This worked but created a lag every time you press the home button as it waits for a second press.
I was very happy to learn that the GS4 didn't seem to suffer the same problem. After using it for a week, I've found it doesn't always work the way it should. I'd say about 50% of the time the screen wakes as it should, and 50% of the time it returns to the launcher screen.
Is anyone else noticing this, or is it possible that some mod I've applied screwed something up?
I don't have a lock screen either and waking with the home button works fine and doesn't trigger the home button action. Are you using a mod to disable the lock screen, or disabled it in the touchwiz settings? If it's a mod, try the latter.
It screwed all of us, even with lock screens.
It works 100% of the time now. For me. But I do also have a lock screen.
