[Q] My Samsung GS4 won't lock - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

i already posted a thread about this and was told to do flash a stock rom but it didnt work is there anything else i can do??

You'll either want to respond on that same thread, or explain a bit more about your problem and what you've tried.
Are you saying when you turn the screen off and then back on, it goes to the home screen rather than lock screen? What ROM are you on?

When I click the button on the side of my phone to turn off my screen it doesnt do anything and im on stock rom

Did you flash through recovery or did you flash via odin? Do you have any apps that might interfere with the lock screen settings? When you go into settings, my device, lock screen what mode does it say you have enabled?

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] SGs2 Roms Phone Lock wont work

Hi,
I have the T989 version, although i love my phone it seems that ever since ive started to use different roms my lock screen wont turn on, i cant get it to swipe, pattern, face unlock or anything. Its either screen on or off. Is this normal? Whenever i even restored my original gingerbread rom it still doesnt work.
One more thing, when you hold the power button it usually gives you an option to put it on silent or vibrate or plane mode, well when i press power and hold it it just turns off. What is really going on guy, any help would be great thanx!

You should probably ask here. Though it sounds like your missing your /efs/imei/keystr file.
thanx

"there" is the forum for the T989. You can post there. Should probably go to the Q&A forum there instead of here, which is the forum for the I9100. (which is a different model than what you have)
Better there than here, else people point you to do something specific for the I9100, which could potentially brick your phone.
have you checked your settings?
Settings> Security > Screen Lock
it may be on None

WEIRDEST trouble in the history of i9100!! Is here!

Hey all, mods please delete my other thread as this will sum it up..
Hey devs, I'm facing a strange issue, really strange, I've been flashing roms for 2 years and never faced anything like this..:
It's all about the power button.. whenever I hold it, it doesn't show the options "reboot, turn off, airplane mode".. NO, it just turns off immediately..
The other strange thing:
If I turned screen off, it doesn't even make the sound "tick", and even if I put a password or any lock likd "slide" it doesn't make any affect.. screen is all open..
What the heck is wrong with my phone? Is it a curse
This could be a Unclean Flash and/or The Mainboard of you S2 is f***ed up
Try a other Rom and if it still acts wierd do the Whole Procedure with Reflashing an Original Sammy Rom via odin + Fullwipe and everything
Ofcourse the Powerbutton only could be the Problem (It doesnt release properly anymore)

[Q] Screen Keeps Turning Off as Soon as i Turn it On. Whats wrong With my Phone?

Ive had a rooted Alcatel One Touch Fierce for about a month. Just recently a Tmobile update downloaded and i installed it. My phone rebooted and ever since then my screen turns off or goes black everytime i turn the screen on. For example when i press the lock button to wake my phone it will display for at least a second then go black but the touch is still functional so id have to navigate by guessing where everything is then pop the screen on for a second to see where i am. The only exception is when i bring up my keyboard or edit settings like when a slider pops up for brightness. I can see the android startup screen until its fully rebooted and i can see the recovery mode. Ive reformatted my data and cache. It is also not the timeout setting. I cant find anything about this issue anywhere. Pretty soon i will be taking it to walmart to replace it but until then i want to try and fix it. Anyone know whats wrong?

Xperia Z2 Blank Screen

Hello,
I have a very strange problem with my Xperia Z2. After unlocking the display on the device is blank. You can see the brightness, the touch works, because when I swipe my fingers I can hear android sound but there is no picture. I must do "lock - unlock" pattern 3-4 times, sometimes even more to get the display work properly. I tried to fix it by using software repair but it didnt work, and also
factory reset. Its just so iritating, I cant even lock my phone anymore, I try to keep the display on as much as possible if someone trys to call me so I can answer it. Device is currently running on Existenz ROM but the issue started on the stock so I flashed custom rom but it didn't help. So this is probably a hardware problem and if it is, what could be broken ( is it display, GPU,whatever ) or it could be a software problem ? Any help would be appreciated.
Can you see your lockscreen?

No, no the "lock-unlock pattern" is reffered to simply pressing the unlock button on the phone. There is just blank display and light is on as I mentioned but no picture. After pressing button many times the picture finaly comes and then it's normal. It only happens when phone goes to sleep mode or after I lock it.
If your phone reboots can you see the SONY logo and the boot animation as well?

Nope, there is nothing. Just a sound and LED works, and blank screen. Then again, when the phone finally reboots, pressing lock-unlock button will do the trick. It seems like, when I dont touch the phone longer time, it's harder to get screen on. But when I constantly work with the phone there is no need for that amount of "lock - unlock button move".

It's probably hardware, now it's just a question of repair cost and is it worth it ?

I think this is due to a faulty LCD screen, but the digitalizer seems fine. So maybe you could consult some local repair shops and prove if my hypothesis is correct. But first of all you should try also flashing another kernel (eg elite kernel) first to see if it is a software issue rather than a hardware issue.
