Short of it is this:
- Changed my screen orientation to stay in landscape.
- Locked my phone
- Right column of pattern dots doesnt fit on the screen in landscape
- Can't input my pattern to unlock!!
HELP!!
I realise I can reboot to recovery and wipe data/ factory reset but would like to avoid if i can.
Any other ideas?

Looks like you locked yourself out
What ROM are you on?. Can't reproduce this on stock ICS. What happens after so many unsuccessful attempts to unlock? Is there a back door like when it requires the PIN after you failed 10 times?
flash the rom again the one ur using hope it will fix it
Fixed
Thanks for the suggestions
I'm using Resuraction Remix 2.5.1
I figured it out.
removed the simcard so i wouldnt be asked for pin that goes with it(i couldnt enter it because the number pad didnt fit on the screen either) and then deliberately entered the wrong pattern until i got a forgot pattern option. Lucky wifi was enabled and allowed me to unlock the phone by using my google account. phew!

i setup pattern instead of pin numbers.
the problem is anyway i swype through patterns, my phone unlocks.
pls help.
I got this after flashing firmware when I already had a pattern set up. Just go through the setup for the pattern again and it should persist.

thank you
all sorted
do you experience a bad recognition, too? sometimes when I try to enter my pattern it recognizes my finger not from the beginning but in the middle of the movement. kind of annoying sometimes to swipe the pattern again and again.
That mostly happens when in a hurry. Doing it slowly and calmly works 100% but doing it in a hurry (while driving, ...) sometimes doesn't work right.
hi,
I have an issue with lock screen on my GT-7510 with stock 3.2. There is no lock screen when I lock the device. I can configure PIN or password and so on in settings but when I wake up the tab the lock screen is still missing.
I've tried factory reset with no effect.
can someone give me an advice how to solve this? I don't want to install any special app or custom rom...
Thanks
I have the same issue since my Gtab came back from being repaired by Samsung.
I have also tried a hard reset.
The only time I see any lock screen is at first start from hard reset.
Have you tried re flashing the stock ROM or maybe a custom one? Can't think of anything else that should work (or not)
Sent from my GT-P7500 using xda app-developers app
I have the same issue with my GT-P7500, it has unlocked padlock on bootup screen, it has a correct IMEI on settings, but has NO SERIAL NUMBER (00000000000), I don't know why.
I tried several stock roms but the only one where lock screen works is with the last 3.1 for UK (PDA: P7500XWKHD CSC: P7500XEUKH3 PHONE: P7500XWKG1).
I have too a "Factory Mode" icon on home screen where I could write samsung codes (like "*#1234#" to see the rom version).
The problem: It doesn't matter the kind of lock you configure, after spending the correct time to lock it or pushing power button to lock it inmediately, there is no lock screen at all, and when you push power button again, it backs to the running program. At the same time, if you push the power button for 1.5~2 seconds, it just power down without the typical selection window (where you could activate silence and flight modes).
Other cons: I tried to install AOKP, and it show me a serial number.
Maybe with those details someone can help us.
in custom roms, like CM9, the lock sreen works, in stock ICS doesn't
Hi All,
I found a bug and want to see if it only affects my rom or others. I'm running Resurrection 2.5.3 on a SGS2.
DO NOT TRY THIS UNLESS YOU WANT A CHALLENGE TRYING TO UNLOCK YOUR PHONE W/O THE OK BUTTON. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
If you want to try this and you have the pin lock on, i suggest using a simple pin number consisting of only 1,2 4 and 5. Also turn on the feature that automatically unlocks w/o hitting OK.
To repro the bug:
* lock your screen into landscape mode with auto-rotate turned off.
* let the phone lock.
*If you have the pin lockscreen enabled, when the display comes back up, you can only see the top left corner of the keypad. On my phone I couldn't not press the OK button after i entered my pin.
* I finally managed to unlock using adb and screen caster.
Anyone else experience this? I have to say it's really annoying. Took a bit of time to figure out how to login.

Help! In trying to get my swipe lock screen to self-actvate when the screen turns off, I've managed to make the problem worse.
I made it PIN lock, intending to return to Swipe after testing. Now there are NO options for locking except PIN and no obvious way to clear it. I've read all kinds of suggestions, none of which worked. Surely this is not a "feature"?
Edit: Oh, duh. I can't believe this isn't documented somewhere. So you just go to the settings menu under Lock Screen and it says PIN. You touch that and it asks you to confirm your PIN. When you do you are presented with all the options again (including Swipe). Whew! Now if only the #%@#$ thing would engage when the screen turns off like it should!
Hello there !
A friend of my wife broke the screen of her S9+ and asked me if I can extract the photos.
The phone does work fine, but the screen and the digitizer are dead.
I'm trying to use the MHL capability (usb c to hdmi + USB to connect a keyboard or mouse) to get access to the phone, but I'm stuck to unlock the screen. I was told that's a pattern lock (I know the pattern) but I can't display it on the external screen, and I can only draw it using a mouse on a black screen... Almost impossible !
Is there a way to bypass the pattern lock to get the pin code, or something to draw the pattern, or a way to show the lock screen on an external screen ? I tested on my own OnePlus 9 Pro, it doesn't display the lock screen neither.
I didn't try recovery, and adb looks disabled...
Thanks for ideas
Thats strange because when I use my (official) DeX dock, I can see my lock screen on the second display and use a keyboard or mouse to unlock a pattern, pin or password. I'm also confused because you say its not displaying on the second screen so how do you know your on the lock screen? Unfortunately, adb won't work until you unlock the phone as you will need to enable developer options and also accept the "fingerprint" before adb connects. Recovery is useless to you if you intend on recovering photos and the whole point of a lock screen is not to be bypassed. Obviously, there are ways because law enforcement can do it but your unlikely to have the equipment or exploits or skills to go down that route.
Thanks for the feedback !
In fact, the Galaxy acts just like my own phone on th external screen : I have a black screen with the date/clock moving around and a padlock. When I test on my phone (that's a biometric finger), I just have to hit the spacebar, it turns my phone screen on (the external screen keeps the same black display), and from my external keyboard, I can type my password, I hit enter, and unlocked.
Here, I am trying the same (I have a password code) but no luck, I'm just stuck on the lock screen. Pretty difficult as I can't monitor what's happening on the Galaxy's screen while I'm trying this. It does react correctly when I hit a key (it does wake up the Galaxy).
As expected, the MHL is not supported in firmware mode (I have lots of troubles going to recovery, I think the volume button was a bit shot too) so I can't see on the screen what I do in it...
That's very frustating as I'm stuck for this pattern.
Is it possible to get a screenshot of the S9+ lock screen, or to see what happens at fresh boot when using a keyboard ? The idea is to make sure I can access the password code screen, or if I can navigate to it with the arrows or a key... If I can access the password screen, I think it will do it (If the password is correct of course...)
Thanks
Use samsung find my device to erase your lockscreen password/pattern. Dex will then automatically launch upon connecting usb c to HDMI adapter depending on your settings. I had done this once before. Worked flawlessly. I eventually replaced the screen though.
Thanks, I'll try this but I don't know if it's enabled. I noted this method, but I was a bit scared to delete the content, as the goal is just to recover her photos. I haven't done anything else on it so far, and I'd like not to change the screen as the part is very expensive and the replacement looks... Erm... crappy ?
Back ! No luck, still waiting to know if there's a Samsung account enabled. I tried again today, no luck. But it looks I'm not passing the "lock" screen (the one with the wallpaper and the date/time). The spacebar may not unlock the device ? I've been trying with a mouse, but I think I'm stuck on that screen and I can't even access the pattern screen.
Maybe trying to find an official Dex dock. Many Chinese version of "usb c to hdmi + USB" won't work well.
