It's kinda weird and I only see it sometimes. When I pull the ring to unlock my screen I see what the camera is looking at sometimes its the front one and sometimes its the rear I'm not sure what is happening I only see it for a split second before my homescreen comes up any insight on this would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance.

This happens to me all the time. The first few times it happened I thought i dragged the camera to the ring, but its happened when I didn't even have the camera on the lockscreen. I've had it happen on every Rom I've tried too. I don't know how to stop it, but at least your not the only one its happening to.
it happens to me sometimes too, and it screws up my brightness settings (everything will be at maximum brightness until I switch back to home)

Hey guys,
I just wanted to ask if you have the same problems with the lockscreen when you want to take a call? A few
minutes ago I received a phonecall and of course I had to unlock the phone first. Everytime it's a real adventure
to answer the telephone. I have to slide my finger two or three times over the screen to remove the lockscreen
and take the call. But who might think that would be enough... Often the slider hangs at the end after you slid your
finger over the screen. This would be ok, if it unlocks then. But it doesn't. So you wait two seconds and then you
slide your finger over the display again. And finally you can take the call
So my question is, do you have similar issues?
I don't want to make a call in an emergency with this lockscreen
ive found that if the slider hangs, just tap the top of the slide just above/past the slider and it will unlock

This happens all the time to me, plus that I have problem with the screen, the touch isn't always recognised at a specific area of the screen, ..not to mention the corners.... I have problem with the half bottom of the screen right in the middle of the unlock arrow..! It makes it hard for me to scroll the internet browser sometimes!
Different had any problems so far, but I have the same problem. I hope they give us the ability to use that custom lock screen security thing without this thing.

Try to tap the home button when sliding is does difficult. Works for me fine than. Only never tried when someone is calling. Dont know why didnt try yet xD

The lock slider on the x10 is a pita.
Thanks for your answers
Good to see that I am not the only one who has problems with this damned
thing. @assangflexx: I don't know if that is such a good idea. I know that
when you make a call and tab the homebutton, the screen switches to your
homescreen. That's exactly what it should do. But since the phone is working
to full capacity during a call it's a pain in the a** to get back to other screen,
where you can end the call...
im having the same problems. but i also have a problem with the thouch when im writing a sms. sometimes it wont press the "A" button and when i press "ALT" sometimes that dosent work and it just inserts a space instead.
I was just sitting on the couch, and the screen on my phone came on by itself. Not to the lock screen or anything, but the screen looks like its on its dimmest setting (barely on at all) and the search button at the bottom is very dimly lit up. Happened twice in the past 20 minutes...anyone else? I'm going to reboot and see what's up.
Are you using a third party sms app? There's a usually a setting that wakes the phone when a text is received.
I've used Handcent without any problems so far. But to be clear, this 'waking up' of the screen is NOT like when you press the button to turn on your phone. When I noticed the problem the screen was so dim that if you're not in a darkened room you probably wouldn't even notice, it's very faint and the only other thing that was lit up was the 'search' button and it too was very dim. At first I thought it was just the reflection of the tv across my phone screen thats how dim the screen was, but it was definitely on and no buttons being pushed would completely wake it up until I pushed the power button to turn on the screen completely like normal. Weird....but after a reboot I didn't see it do it again. I'm wondering if others might not be having this issue and not even have noticed, thus poor battery life for some people?
This happened to me once before. A rebooted fixed the issue for me too.

Have you used one of the temp roots. I had the same problem when I used one of them and when I restarted the phone it seemed to clear up the issue. I have noticed that powering of the screen while its in 3D mode can cause weird issues too sometimes.
Strange. No this is a stock device I haven't tried the temp root yet. Since the reboot I've been watching it closely and it seems to be fine. I suppose this thread should have been posted in with the one already discussing bugs, but I wasn't sure. Thanks for your kind replies!
Hi all,
I'm not too sure if anyone else has ever experienced this but it is starting to annoy me.
When my screen dims after 1 minute and goes to the lock screen I'm able to press the 'home' button and the unlock screen appears but I'm not able to do anything.
Its almost as if my devices jams and I have to press buttons to get it to come back.
I've reinstalled my device and this doesn't happen.
This happens during a call when the screen dims when its near my ear and I take my phone away from my ear the screen doesn't come on and it jams
Please - your help will be greatly appreciated

I wish that was the issue.
My smartstay is on.
When the device's screen turns off the 2 issues happen:-
1. You press the home button to turn the screen on and the phone goes into the pattern lock screen - when i try do my pattern it doesn't pick anything up almost as if the screen has frozen and I have to wait 1 minute for the screen to go off and do the same process and hope it works.
2. I'm in a call and the screen is supposed to light up after removing it from my hear however it stays black. I have to lay the phone down, wait 1 minute and press the home button and hopefully the screen comes up and hopefully it isn't jammed
try this see if it works https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobint.locker
Hey Aimara,
It didn't work.. It almost seems like the phone jams i.e. there is no RAM left or something
Check your running apps, and could be too many apps running on background using up ram, try to freeze some unwanted apps
I have no issues unlocking my stock Sprint GS3 as you describe. Like some other have mentioned, maybe free up some internal RAM by moving some apps or data to SD storage?
I think it might be caused by CPU tuner and the governors? I noticed when my battery was low it would get stuck on the unlock screen.
Hopefully with my changes it works

I'm currently using the latest version of clean rom. Lately I have noticed that sometimes when I grab my phone without waking it up, there is kind of a light that comes on towards the top of the screen and it displays missed calls and missed texts the light stays on for a few seconds then fades away by itself. What makes this wierd is I have not been able to force this to happen and sometimes it does it and sometimes it doesnt. This happens prior to me waking up the phone when the screen is black. I think it might have something to do with a motion sensor. Any ideas on what feature this is.

It's called QuickGlance and can be found under Settings --> Motion. The way to activate it is to reach for your phone while it lies flat, covering the sensors in the top-right corner, you can pull your hand back and it'll show up. Interesting thing, if you use an app that forces auto-rotation, such as rotation locker or what have you, you can get the QuickGlance screen to show up in landscape.
Within the last week my phone stopped working all the time when it's sitting on your desk with the screen off and you move your hand over it to get the Quick Glance preview. It doesn't work more often than it does. Rebooting sometimes helps getting it working again but not for very long.
When making phone calls the screen does turn off when I hold it up to my ear but once the call is over and I remove it from my ear, it doesn't turn back on anymore. This always happens since the problem started.
Also, I decided to open up the samsung gallery app (I rarely use it since I like QuickPic better) to see if the gesture of swiping your hand above the pictures would still advance to the next one and it does.
Any idea what might be causing this to happen?
