My phone unlocks itself when it's in my pocket sometimes. Anyone else having the same issue? Anyone know of a solution?
By the way I'm running stock unrooted.

Try to put it in a position so that it dont hit the power button i had that issue alot until i started carrying it in my back pocket

Thanks for the replay. What you said makes sense because if I push the power button I can pull the notification bar down and after clicking on lookout on there and hitting the back button it completely bypasses the unlock screen and goes into the home screen. That's really annoying.
To prevent it unlocking set a pattern or pin to unlock, that will also prevent the status bar to be able to drop down.

Hi guys,
I realized that the lockscreen is doing nothing in the sense of the security on the S2. I am using a lock pattern and sometimes when I get a text call, or press the sleep/wake button a couple times, I can unlock the screen without the pattern. Anyone else notice this?
I read about this a while ago, some bug with TouchWiz 4.0

Yup, I noticed this also... on my 2nd day... I was *informed* that if I truly wanted to SECURE the phone 100% with PIN/PASSWORD/Pattern, I would have to choose LOCK immediately, otherwise, every other swipe the phone can be unlocked without it... EXACTLY like you experienced it.
Just change it to IMMEDIATE and you should be fine...

You want to set the Lock Timeout to Immediately (to clarify things) Located in Settings->Location and Security->Timeout
I'm using dagr8s alpha 2 and my phone keeps locking. Like for example when I click a notification in my status bar my phone will lock for some reason. Also it happens sometimes when I click on an app. But the Strange thing is that it is not fully locked. Like I can just press the lock button and it will take me to the home screen. Also another thing is that whenever I enable blue tooth a pop up comes asking me to use car mode. I don't know why this is happening it's kind of annoying. Is this a bug with a rom. Is anybody else experiencing this?

I have been able to get around entering my lock pin number simply by waking up the device with the power button and pressing the X when using the face unlock method to get to the pin unlock screen then you just press around the section of the screen that has the time and it works every time! Can anyone else duplicate this? Everything on my phone is stock running the latest Verizon software.
Can't duplicate it.

It has happened many times before by mistake for example I would be pulling my phone out of my shirt pocket and my hand would be on the screen and I would notice that the phone would be unlocked. This morning it happened and I was able to recreate it several times in a row but now I can't seam to get it to happen again. The only difference is now it's not dark. (the sun is up) the face lock also detects the amount of light and sometimes says low light so maybe that has something to do with it since I've noticed this happening a lot when I take my phone out of my pocket.
I got all kinds of ways to bypass the lock on mine its weird..notification pulldown works to..or if you have the stock ticker going that unlocks it also
I was wondering if there was a way to do this. You wake up your phone, it's locked. You hold the sleep button and the phone goes straight to the home screen.
Or even better, you wake the phone up by holding the sleep button and the phone idles on the lock screen for a second and then jumps to the home screen (similar to iPhone's new fingerprint scanner, but without the scanner). Maybe the lock screen can have a fake pin lock to mislead people using my phone.
I've been waiting for this for years but I don't think anyone's developed it. Would there be a way I could do it with Tasker? Or maybe there's something on xda that I can download for it to work? I am rooted with a Note 3.
Also, if there are any other revolutionary new lockscreen's out there, let me know! I'm not into the whole typing a password to unlock because everyone sees the password anyway. Plus it's tedious. Any ideas?
I have been experiencing what I believe are random presses of the home button. Every so often I will be reading something and the app I am using will close to the home screen without me touching the screen. If I open resent apps the app I was using is right there and when I open the app it is right where I left off. So I believe it is a home button command and not a force close of the app.
If anyone has an idea of how to figure out what is going on here I'm open to suggestions. I'm working with someone to try and use Tasker but I'm over my head, as I do not use Tasker much.
Any idea are appreciated.
Thank you.
I have been getting these too, happens a lot when using the keyboard and no it's not me pressing different buttons for sure.
Same phantom home button presses are happening with me too. I first thought maybe I was too close to the screen and it was seeing a touch, but later it happened a few times while the phone was just sitting on a table without me even around it. At least I know it's not just me and hopefully LG can fix this in a software update, because it is annoying.
Can confirm, I've also been getting this. Thought it was me at first, but I've also seen it when the phone wasn't being touched.

Following this, I swear this has happened to me also. I thought I was touching the second screen causing it. I will say I have not seen mine doing it just sitting there.

It's done it once or twice a day for me. Today it did it while I was using Google maps for navigation and navigation minimized to the pop out screen. So I am fully convinced it's a home button command. I wasn't even holding the phone so it definitely wasn't a slip of my thumb.
As an update. I havent had this issue in awhile. Wondering if they addressed it in an update?

Same here... Haven't noticed it in a while.
In the U.S., I know for sure that T-Mo and AT&T units got a small patch bringing us from the Feb. 2020 security update to the Apr. 2020 security update.
It's entirely possible they snuck in some bug fixes as well.
I get it still on my phone here and there so don't think it's fixed yet and I got the newest update already.. and do u guys know how to hide home buttons without gestures like my old v30 I can't figure it out.
I believe it has something to do with the actual phone and not software related. The reason i say this is because if you put your phone down and touch the screen it works fine but use it while holding the ghost touch comes back.
