Can't unlock phone after wallpaper app crashed - Motorola Droid X2

Hi everybody,
I decided to change my wallpaper on my phone and the app seemingly crashed to the point where the power button won't turn the screen on. Plugging the power in will power the screen on, but an error comes up saying that Go Launcher is experiencing problems (force close, wait, etc). Regardless of what I hit, I'm forced to unlock my phone as usual, but it doesn't unlock. I'm stuck staring at a black screen...can't get to settings, notification bar, anything. Help please?

Lock issue - Does not stay locked

I am having this problem...I lock the screen however if i push the power button to bring the screen on, I will see where i have to put in my pin or if i use the pattern if i do nothing and let the screen go off again i wait 2-3 seconds and push power again the screen comes on and all you have to do is drag the screen saver and you are in.
How come it doesnt stay locked? Is this a glitch I am using the stock system

[Q] NT Unresponsive...Reset necessary?

Problem: My Nook Tablet has become unresponsive. It boots up and shows the screen where I should be able to enter my password. However, the touchscreen does not respond. The N button and power buttons also do not respond. To reset, I have to hold both the power button and N button. I believe that the device is still running because when I plug in my charger, the notification comes up declaring how much battery is remaining.
How it happened: I was using Dolphin HD browser to set an image as my wallpaper. It sat there setting my wallpaper for a long time, until I got a message saying that Go Launcher EX was not responding. It asked if I wanted to wait of force close, and I chose to force close. After this, my NT reset.
Additional Info: Rooted using Indirect's method, no debloating done. Using Go Launcher EX.
Any ideas? Is a factory reset necessary to recover from this?

its probably your best bet to factory reset (8 failed boots). since the touch screen is not responding ur NT is kinda useless...

Have you tried taking out your SD card? I had something similar happen and I popped out the SD card and it solved my issue.
I tried that, but it didn't seem to make any difference.
So, I've done a factory reset. But I cannot access the browser! When I rooted, I chose the option that makes pressing the 'N' go directly to the home screen. That is still the case.

New streak, start up and it freezes (HELP)

i just got my dell streak and so far when i press the start button i see the dell logo and then the screen just hangs there (black) until i remove the battery. I tried to charge the battery up to full but i since i do not see a battery charging indicator i really dont know what to do with it. help
everything is stock, i dont even know if its GB or not since i havent been able to start it up It's a rogers phone though
Tried a factory reset
Sent from my Dell Streak using xda premium
yeah i tried that. i also went into fastboot and it says on the bottom "default nv checked #2" and i cannot click on the fastboot option. When i press the volume rocker up or down the screen goes dark and then comes back in a little bit saying that the "screen calibration FAILED"
i did however succeed one time in getting the screen calibration to "pass" and then i was able to press the fastboot option. From there i used the DSC installer "flash" exe and it updated the phone. Then after the reboot i was able to see the lock screen but unable to press any buttons.
im figuring
1) the touch screen is defective, hence iam unable to press anything and thus the screen calibration keeps failing
2) the connect to the touch screen is broken or lose and i might need to open'her up to see
3) fack it, ill just tell rogers to send a replacement.
So far ive done step 3 but since its the weekend, i felt like tinkering.

[Q] Samsung Note 3 Lollipop Issues (Sprint Stock Build)

So i was just forced to install Lollipop by Sprint. I was having a minor S-Pen issues and Sprints "FIX" was to update me to Android 5.0 Lollipop. Well now I have 500000000 other issue with my phone. Most i can live with, but there are 2 in particular that at driving me absolutely bonkers and I cant fix. I was hoping someone around here would have an idea how to fix it without me having to root, and go back to the previous OS. (The Sprint Root seems a little intimidating and I cant afford to brink my phone even for 20 minutes).
The main issues I am having are regarding the lock screen. I cant get the lock screen to stay open more then 3 or 4 seconds and if I botch my pattern or don't swipe fast enough, the screen will turn itself off. Then I have to turn the screen back on and try and unlock it again. Sometimes the screen even turns off in the middle of trying to unlock it. It is EXTREMELY annoying having to try and unlock my phone 4 or 5 times just to get to the notification screen ...... As for the Notification screen, once i finally am able to get my phone unlocked, then when i try and swipe my notification bar the phone will sometimes turn the screen off as well, then I have to go BACK to trying to unlock the phone and try and do everything faster then 2 jack rabbits banging in order to just get to my notifications. Its become a major problem in that sometimes I just cant get the sequence and speed right for 10 or 15 tries.
Anyone else having these issues or have a fix???

I can't say I had any problems like this. I was running Stock rooted OC5 for a while and had really no problems with it. I didn't have any pattern or pin unlock though, so maybe it would have been different? I would have stayed stock but my Flashaholic took hold and made to start trying out other ROMs.
As for rooting, I have found it very easy to root this phone. I haven't had a problem either using auto-root or flashing superSU.

before a factory reset, you might try doing a wipe of the cache partition.
turn your phone off
press and hold, Volume up + home key + power until you see the blue booting to recovery mode message
wait for recovery mode to display (the menu will show after the green robot)
use the volume rocker to move down to wipe cache partition and press the power button to select it.
now select the yes line and press power
now reboot your phone and see if that helps with the lock screen behavior
good luck
