Hey suddenly my phone wont unlock. When the "Swipe to unlock" screen comes up I swipe and it freezes for 20 seconds and then it reboots. It is not rooted and running ICS nordic.
I didn't do anything to provoke this. I just happened out of the blue.
What do I do?
I've tried pulling the battery and removing the sim but no luck so far.
Thx
mhh .. try doing a hard reset..
doing wipe data and factory

Did you do a full wipe before installing ICS? If not that could be the cause of error.
I did a wipe to factory data and now it seems to be working again.
Thanks

i hawe a strange problem. Phone turn lockscreen on and off by himself. Idk is there a problem whit software or a program during that.I done factory reset, rebooted phone, but same.
In task no program is runnig only necessary.
What Rom,kernel, and hboot do you have ??? Are you running a theme or have you flashed any extra add ons after you flashed your Rom ??

its all orginal. and 2.3.4, Sens 3.0
Phone is new and i dont want to f somthing for now.
I use go launcher, and widgetlocker, but when i delete this programs its the same.
Widget locker most likey is the culprit. Did do the factory reset from the menu settings???
Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
yes ,but the same. Only now i made f reset, and didnt installed nothing. Seems to be ok. Hm, must be a program.
Yup widget locker more than likely is the culprit since it effects your lock screen and your having lock screen problems not a 100% sure but I'm pretty positive it is. I would recommend not installing the app again. However you can search the playstore for apps that do the same but don't screw up your lock screen you just have to try a few until you find one that works. Me personally I don't install any app that messes with the lock screen.
Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
yes , now im going to reload all apps whitout widgetlocker
Cool that should fix your issue.
Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
lol ,now its getting started again. Idk what its wrong. Seems thats hardware software problem. I dont hawe nothing installed.
Hummm ?? Have you tried a factory reset from your bootloader ?? The settings reset isn't really a factory reset. I mean it is but it isn't because it doesn't completely wipe the phone like the bootloader's reset does I believe. Also before you do that or if you decide to do it don't forget to backup all of your imporant data.

i cant get in. Its not rooted.

you dont have to be rooted to reset your phone through bootloader, first go to settings >power > uncheck fast reboot, and then power off your phone, then press Volume down button + power on button, the phone will start in recovery mode, from there you can reset your phone to factory settings, everything will be wiped off so be sure to backup your contacts sms, pictures etc
thanks
it sounds like it might be a problem with your battery cover, ever drop the phone on the power button region?
no, now i wiped everything hole phone + sd card. Now i'm letting him one day noting installed. will see

do post back the results i had the same problem long time ago, but factory reset solved it
for now its ok, but IDK how long.
Glad its working for you.

Sounds like you might be having an issue with the lock button itself, could be software but i doubt it because uninstalling and reinstalling the software should have fixed it. Figure out what programs are using the lockscreen and remove them one at a time and see if one of them is creating a conflict if not then it has to be an issue with the button itself

Hello all,
My Note 3 touchscreen is freezing. When I restart the phone it works temporarily then it freezes again. ... I can use the S-Pen on the screen and that works fine.
I can even unlock my phone using my fingers on the touchscreen and that works, so I'm assuming it's not a hardware/touchscreen issue.
Here is what I have tried to resolve issues but it still doesn't work:
1.Soft Reset
2.Hard Reset (everything erased)
3 . Clear cache from boot screen.
Any advice on getting this to work would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have an SD card installed? Try removing it and see if that helps. I had a problem similar to this once on an HTC phone. Problem was the SD card.
I've had the issue since I updated to MJ4 firmware. I've also had issues with the voice/data connection being lost. So it could be the firmware you are on

i also have this issue. Im on Mi3 and was hoping mi5 or mj4 would fix it, but i guess not. I have a 64gb card in but i don't think tats the problem because i notice it happens when im low on ram, a message is coming in, or a app starts updating.
Hey guys, i have installed a unofficial Cyanogenmod 11 kitkat 4.4 custom rom and i am very satisfied with it.
But today i was just messing around the lock screen options and i choosed a 6x6 pattern and applied it. But unfortunately after an hour or so i realized that i totally forgot the pattern i choosed. And now when i write the pattern 5 times wrong, it just locks for 30 seconds and i can try again but i cant reset it with my Gmail or anything like that, it just keeps locking for 30 seconds after 5 wrong attemps. Would re-installing the rom remove the lock screen? Or maybe a factory reset? Or can i just remove the pattern in any way? Any help would be appreciated!

You can always do a factory data rest and lsoe all your settings and installed apps.
Haven't experienced this before but a quick search led me here: http://null-byte.wonderhowto.com/ho...u-bypass-android-pattern-lock-screen-0138807/
Worth a try.
In the stock rom when you forget your pattern you can unlock via google account but unfortunately cyanogenmod doesn't have this feature, i also tried the command prompt solution but it didn't work, i got errors like "cant path to xx" or cant delete gesture.key because it doesn't exist, but anyway the factory reset did the job. Thank you guys!
A solution that worked for me
Well, I've logged into Google play, got into "device manager" and then selected "lock".
Essentially, it asked me to define a new password, and shortly afterwards ( probably after the push notification was sent) I was able to unlock with the new password.
ok,30 minutes ago my gs3 was next to me and I had music on then all of a sudden the ''Samsung Galaxy S III" splash screen appeared.It kept appearing and disappearing so I took the battery out for a while then inserted it and it turned on.5 minutes later the same thing happened and now it is working again but well this might happen again.What could be the problem ? can it be SDS ? but I had my gs3 for a year and a half so I doubt that.I'm running wanamlite 4.1.2,have been using this rom for almost a year.(except for trying out a few other roms sometimes).
Reflash your rom, try first without a wipe.

You can try this:-
Go to recovery and do factory reset. (You will loose all software installed by you, may b contact & sms too)
Wipe Cache & Dalvik Cache
Tried a factory reset and tried restoring to a an old backup,didn't help.I didn't try reflashing the rom, I doubt it will work because restoring to a backup that was working fine didn't help either.I'm thinking about giving it to samsung,hope they won't blame rooting and custom rom for the problem but I'm out of warranty period anyways.
Try another rom! But with a clean install! don't restore your nadroid backup data, use Titanium Backup for your apps.
I noticed that it happens when I actually use the phone(like for a few minutes) but when it's idle,it operates normally.
I don't have any other roms right now and I can't download any because my internet is limited currently.
UPDATE: It looks like the problem is the power button because when the phone does boot,the boot menu keeps showing up and when I pull the battery and insert it again,it boots automatically.I will get it fixed,thanks all.
Hey guys! This is my first thread here, but I knew this site before. I've got an M4 Aqua E2303, Android 5.0, Build 26.1.A.2.167 (upgraded from .99 with TWRP to keep the root.).
The story : I've got this phone like 4 months ago, I was so happy etc... After it updated to 5.0 it kept restarting randomly. Total random, when it was not under using, if I use it, it does not restart itself. Sometimes the restarts occurs when it's under charging, and sometimes when I want to unlock it and use it, and sometimes total randomly, and sometimes it shuts down. For different verions the problem was different too. On 26.1.A.2.99 it was the worst, it restarded and stuck on the boot screen until reached 0% battery. On 26.1.A.2.128 It turend off the screen, but the phone was running and the LED was red (even when fully charged) and only started with the hard off button in the SD card slot.
I've got the default "Diagnostics" app, now it says that the Phone got system errors 42 times in 10 days. It was worse before (over 140). But it doesn't say why did it restart, I'm hoping for help from any of you, who had this issue and solved it, or someone who knows a better diagnostic tool that will explain what caused the system fault.
I appreciate all the helps!
Have you performed a factory reset? (It will delete all your data and apps)

Yes, when the phone was new and the restarts were annoying. It fixed it for 1 day. The next day it was restarting again.
This would point to an app you've installed causing the issue. Factory reset again and install each app one by one until the restarts happen to find out which.

If you used the pre-rooted zip to maintain root while updating to the latest android, this will fix your rebooting problem. Follow this guide:
