The app Screen Off and Lock offers the option to turn your screen off with just one touch or - if you have a custom launcher - with a specific gestures.
One cool feature is the "TV-Off-Animation" which you can see in this video:
I thought this was cool, so I downloaded the app and made all the settings.
The issue with the S3 is, that when you turn off the screen with a gesture or a widget, the screen turns off for half a second and than the lockscreen pops up...
Do anyone have a solution?
push...
I don't have a permanent solution, but i find turning off S-voice for wake up device helps, the double switch off as i like to call it still happens but not as much.
Another success i had was switching everything off the home screen so its blank, This fixed the issue until i pressed the power button once to switch off the screen then the issue came back.
I used a similar app called lock screen but the issue remains, actually the screen off and lock app seems to be better because of the delay it has with different animations.
It seems to be an issue with ICS 4.0.4.... So we have to wait
Does this work with the physical power button?
Nope...

Am I using this app wrong or something? It lags the crap out of my device. Takes about a full two seconds to turn the screen on with it, and even then I have to wait a second or two to swipe my MIUI slider.
And god forbid I try and use the Laptop dock. If I plug my phone in with the dock, my phone sits there and I have to push the power button several times to get a response from the phone, where it promptly turns the screen off again and denies me from booting into WebTop.
I can't say I've seen that problem on my phone. How many widgets do you have on your lock screen? Have you tried running widgetlocker with only the slider to see if that resolves the issue?
I've got minimal text for time, and minimal text for the date. Then the MIUI slider. Even with just the slider, it lags like crazy.
Never had a problem. Just hit my unlock, then my back arrow and zero lag to my homescreen. Try the back button option over the slider. Maybe the slider is causing the lag.
EDIT: Just added the Miui slider and still no lag. Not sure what you have going on, sorry.
I'm using WananLite ROM v3.2 (XXDLI3)
When the screen times out and goes black, I press the Home button to wake the screen again, but as soon as the screen wakes I see the app that was open before the timeout close and I'm taken back to whichever home screen I was at before I started the app.
If it matters, I have disabled the Home Button S-voice activation.
Does anyone else have the same problem?
Anyone know how I might fix this small problem?
Thanks.
Have the same Issue on DLI2 -.-' Seems to be a bug, that happens between the time when the screen goes off and got locked
I'm on a Jelly Bean leak & have that problem as well
same problem
i have the same problem, anyone found a solution yet? iam on ultima rom 7.0 hades.
Hey
Since ics, multiple one touch lock screen widgets dont work properly. The led will flash and the it goes to the lock screen and times out with some, and with others it stays on a very low ambient type mode. Any one else? Any suggestions, i love one touch to lock the screen, damn first world problems

The widgets support ics?
fixed
I just turned off the lock screen, hardly needed since there are only soft buttons on the front of the device, and it's unlikely the power button would be accidentally pressed in one's pocket. Then i used a cool app called screen off and lock, it even has crt effect.
Hello,
I'm experiencing a weird problem with my LG V30 H930 and I was wondering what could be the solution, if anyone has ever experienced that as well?
Yesterday I received a new LG V30 phone and that day I found something very disturbing. The "always on display" function does not work when it's too dark in the environment or when I cover the light sensor. This also results in:
- "double tap to wake" function does not work when it is too dark
- holding finger against the screen results in turning off display instead of entering options for changing wallpaper, adding widgets and settings. Additionally when I turn off the screen in this way, I need to press the button on the back of the phone twice, which is also a fingerprint reader and at the right time. If I do it too slowly, i.e. press the button once, wait a bit and then the second time, the screen will not turn on. I have to press it twice and relatively quickly
All of this does not happen when it is bright in the environment.
The phone's never been rooted, there is no custom firmware loaded on it, I've tried many times going back to factory settings.

Why are you covering the light sensor if you want the AOD on?
You are basically replicating a flip case cover or flipping a phone over on the desk. Of course the AOD will turn off under those circumstances. There's nothing wrong with your phone.
With your display on, just quickly press your finger on the fingerprint sensor to display lock the phone and you will see AOD. Well you also have need the "power key instantly locks" option turned on. But I assume you have that on already.
Of course the AOD works in a dark environment. But in this instance, you are covering the light sensor -- which tells the phone you must have it in a flip cover case or flipped over. When you open the case or flip the phone back on, the AOD comes back on. In your fake way, you must be doing something wrong.
Stop covering the light sensor.

I understand your logic, but it is a very weird feature then, not to be able to change wallpaper directly from the home screen, when it is dark in the room or not to be able to turn on the phone double-tapping the screen, which is turned off. Is it perfectly normal as well?

You can change wallpaper and double tap the screen, but go to AOD mode in a NORMAL way. I told you how. Just turn off the display with the fingerprint sensor. AOD. Double tap, display back on.

Thank you for your time!
I've been documenting my struggles with my lock screen in another thread. But I just had a major breakthrough and didn't want this to get buried.
To recap, my lockscreen has been a buggy mess from day one. The fingerprint sensor barely works, the fingerprint icon randomly disappears, and the gray border that's supposed to appear around the fingerprint icon simply doesn't show up. The lockscreen doesn't light up when I pick up the phone either (it stays dimmed). Also, wallpapers don't show up on the lock screen, and the big ugly clock sometimes disappears or moves itself to the top-left.
I've tried just about everything to fix this. As a last-ditch effort, I added a new user profile only to find that the lockscreen works perfectly well for this new profile (but still not for my main one).
Here's my main profile with the unusable lockscreen:
broken lockscreen of main profile
Watch "broken lockscreen of main profile" on Streamable.

And here's what it looks like when using the other profile:
working lockscreen on new profile
Watch "working lockscreen on new profile" on Streamable.

So there's clearly some obscure bug that most people aren't experiencing here. I'd love to just figure it out so I can move on.
When I didn't have the "always on display" turned on, the phone was very consistant about turning on properly when I picked it up. I ran it this way for 3-4 days without any issues.
After reading some articles on the P6, I realized that it has an AOD and that it was turned off. So I turned the AOD on while leaving all the other settings set the same. At first, the finger print icon wouldn't appear consistantly, but that is because I had adjusted the animation scale settings in the Developer settings. Changing that back to stock fixed the issue with the finger print icon not showing up.
That beings said, I have experienced the same "unresponsive" screen many times over the last couple of days that I have had the AOD turned on. The screen stays dimmed (or even turned off if I pull the phone out of my pocket) and the finger print reader is inactive (even though the icon is displayed). The screen is suppose to turn on when I lift the phone up, but it doesn't always do it. When this happens, I have to either manually turn the screen on using the power button, or double tap the screen to wake it. This is clearly a bug in the system somewhere. I probably need to report it to Google, but hopefully it is fixed soon.
After spending way too long on this, I've determined that the bug occurs consistently with these specific settings (although it may also occur for similar ones):
Lock after screen timeout: 30 minutes (or anything high enough to prevent it from locking between tests)
Power button instantly locks: disabled
Lift to check phone: disabled
Tap to check phone: disabled
Always show time and info: enabled
Replication steps:
1) Enter the above settings
2) Press the Power button to go to the lockscreen
3) Set your phone down for a couple seconds
4) Pick your phone back up and try to use the fingerprint sensor
Result: The fingerprint sensor won't work the first time.
I think all the other issues I had were actually stemming from this one issue.
