Hello I dont know if this question respects only the LG O1 but I am gonna start from here.
I had my phone on my desk and suddenly I found out that
the lock screen is gone (when I press the lock button the screen just turns off)
the home button was not working - responding alone
the airplane and silent mode were gone only power off selection existed when I had the lock button pressed
and all my calls were automatically reset.
I tried to reboot and remove the buttery and/or SIM but no luck. I dont want to factory reset at all is there anything I can do throw the ADB shell. Any place were I can look at
I am experiencing the exact same problem since late last night. In addition the Home button and Search button do not work (when pressed they illuminate the screen - since there is no lock anymore) however do not carry the intended function (of returning to home menu or searching).
Can someone please help! I have already sent 2 random (and one embarrassing ) SMS to people on my contact list.
I know one easy way so READ CAREFULLY
1: find and install "Power Control Plus" widget from market.
2: Add Lock on/off widget to background and disable.
It's that easy
So this is just for the lock I will see something about other stuff u said.
Thanks ljubisa_sk
Unfortunately the widget does not lock the screen - actually it has no effect nether this, nor other 'screen locker' apps in the market
My phone is branded and locked to Three Ireland (H3G).
Does anyone know whether there was some sort of OTA update rolled out automatically or something similar?
I know this is old and the issue still remains.
However, what I have seen now is that when I put the phone on airplane mode, the screen lock appears and I can slide to unlock.
As soon as the airplane mode is off, I get back to the same symptoms.
Can anyone help please??? I am really getting annoyed with my phone.
Flash a custom rom ?

but the phone is 2 months old only - I'd rather not void the warranty.
I was hoping for a solution here as I'm not in Ireland anymore to send it to the Three store.
Better void warranty, lg os is the most crappy thing I've experienced.after first inversion of void Rom I was stunned by it's speed and with the touchscreen fix you will experience new powers of this cheap phone.I've voided my warranty in the first month . Good luck.

weird and terribly disappointing. Once in atleast 15 unlocks, when I press the power/wake button, screen just doesnt respond. I try to swipe, but no response. But when I press wake button to turn off screen and press it again, theres no issues. This happens only during unlocking screen. Did anyone face this issue?
rest all is good..no lag..once unlocked phone works perfectly...no lag..no getting stuck..again, let me tell u this issue happens once in 15-20 lock/unlocks.
I think I have the same issue as you, but in case I don't I will post what I am seeing on my device.
In about the same frequency, say once in every 15 unlocks from phone sleeping, the screen will come on but will be completely unresponsive. Doesn't matter if it is swipe unlock or pin code etc, there is no response to touch input on the screen. In fact, I think the screen is just frozen or the operating system is causing the lock screen to hang.
If the lock screen is hanging, pressing power will:
(a) sometimes make the phone sleep again
(b) make the phone screen kind of glitch/blip and then it takes input again
(c) does nothing and the screen remains on and hung/frozen
Occasionally mashing both the volume key and power key will help fix it, but usually if it is completely stuck I have to do a hard reset (holding HOME+VOL UP+POWER and then selecting reboot from the menu).
Now - I think this could be an app, but not sure.
When I first got the phone, set it up with my Google account etc, it went ahead and downloaded ALL the apps I had installed on my previous phone (HTC Sensation running Android ICS). So if it is an app, it is having issues with this phone, not the OS, imo.
I uninstalled all those automatically downloaded apps, and used the phone for a bit without my normal stuff installed. Then started installing apps singularly.
I think it is either Facebook or Alarm Clock Xtreme. The latter makes more sense given it would be polling the system to find out when to go off, so it is doing more in the background I would expect than Facebook or any other non-system app.
Other apps I have installed/running:
Swiftkey X
3G watchdog
Dolphin Browser HD
ES File Explorer
Winamp (locks without this running or running at all in lock screen mode, so that is not the issue)
Real Calc
Google Drive
Facebook
Alarm Clock Xtreme
It is quite frustrating for a brand new phone to have these issues. Not sure if it is hardware related, and if it is, I want to find out soon so I can take it back to carrier within their 28day device swap RMA period.
Thoughts?
So others may try to help or identify the possible cause / fix .......
What is your firmware version?
Are you rooted, custom ROMs or Mods etc?
Stock ROM,Baseband : XXLE8. Build No :XXALE9.
But my screen responds after i press wake button again. You are right seems to be issue with the app. i will just compare your apps and below are the ones which are common between us.
Facebook
3G watchdog
Dolphin Browser HD --i never use
Google Drive
a fix that worked for me
Steps to the solution that worked for me (so far) were to uninstall:
1. Alarm Clock Extreme (no noticeable result but I wasn't needing that application anyway)
2. I had WIFI Fixer installed because of the problems I experienced with the WIFI connectivity on my Galaxy S3.
I disabled that application and problems seemed to go away for a time, but every so in a while they resurfaced. Much less often than before, though.
I was still stuck with my WIFI problem anyway, so I looked into solutions for that problem and since I could not find a workable solution I uninstalled Wifi Fixer and started tweaking my WIFI settings.
While doing that I noticed that disabling "Network Notification" under the Settings -> WIFI -> Advanced tab fixed both my problems.
Now I can't be 100% sure this solution works for all, but I am pretty sure the application that created the problem was "WIFI Fixer".
It's been more than 4 hours now without the "disabled unlock screen from hell", and I’m very happy.
LOOOL
Actually...
My WIFI problem was not solved.... but I found a solution on another forum , which you can read below:
I dialed *#0011# then pressed menu button, then selected WIFI, and pressed the button to turn off the "WIFI power save mode". Hit back until I was back in the homescreen. WIFI has worked to my satisfaction ever since.
This is not a solution, this is a work-around....
It will remove the standby wifi.... My phone was at 0% battery in one night... But actually yes, the phone doesn't hang up when unlocking.
Someone who had replaced the phone could tell me if the problem is solved with a new one ?

This looks like a bug from wifi, i had the same problem and i found a fix:
On the dialer type: *#0011#
Then press menu -> wifi, there is a button ON ( power saving or something ), change it to OFF.
let me know if it solves ur problem
It worked!!

I seem to have another problem. When unlocking the phone the screen turns on in a quite ok amount of time, but then when I touch it immediatelly after it turns on it doesn't react to touch. This moment when touch is not working is getting longer and longer depending on how long the system is running, anybody else sees this?

Not sure what ROM and kernel you are using, but at a big guess, try reflash another kernel or with less aggressive settings.

hey guys. I have a problem with my s3's lock screen similar to the described. whenever I press the power button to unlock, it takes 2 second for the screen to turn on. Anyone got any ideas on that?
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?

Hi all..
I have a problem with my DNA. Sometimes, like maybe once every few weeks or so, the touch screen will not respond correctly.
Here's what happens:
1. I turn on the display while the phone is already running. (meaning, I'm not booting up when it happens)
2. I try to slide the unlock widget up but it doesn't respond.
3. I hold the power button, and it says to continue holding it for 3... 2... 1.. seconds. However, at 1 seconds, it never does anything. I've held it for 2 or 3 minutes at times, and no reboot.
4. I swipe randomly around the screen and notice that some of my quick launch icons or the unlock slider bump up momentarily, but not enough to unlock the phone.
5. I continue swiping randomly, with a random number of fingers, and eventually the stars align and the phone is unlocked.
6. Once the phone is unlocked, tons of random touch presses occur. Random apps will open, messaging, etc. Sometimes, it opens the phone app and randomly presses things. It does this at a very, very rapid rate. I usually panic and turn off the display so it stops.
7. I manage to unlock it and hold the power button until the "Reboot/Shutdown/Airplane Mode" window appears and STAYS on the screen long enough for me to tell it to reboot.
8. After it reboots, the problems are gone and the touch screen returns to its proper functionality.
Has anyone had this problem before or know why it's happening? Or what can contribute to it?

Forgot to give some info:
I'm on default Rom, not rooted, nothing special.
To fix this problem, should I go ahead and root and install a new Kernal?

My screen started doing this, for me it is hardware failure. When you enable "show touches" from developer options, does it show 3-7 ghost touches? Mine is doing this (shattered screen and that is the only side effect, ha)

Hi all,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9305T rooted and running Android 4.3 with Touchwizz.
The problem I am having is that the screen will not turn off and pressing the power button will not lock the phone. Holding the power button will bring up the device options menu (power off, restart etc) indicating that the button itself is still functioning.
Restarting the device will boot to the lock screen, however the screen still wont turn off and after unlocking the phone once, you can no longer lock the phone.
In the phones settings, under battery it shows that it doesn't even register the screen as being on or the phone being awake (see image) however the phone is still completely functional aside from the issues stated above.
This problem occurred after accidentally dialling emergency services from the lock screen while watching a video on my computer and absent mindedly spinning my phone in my fingers. As soon as I saw it was dialling I cancelled the call and took the battery out. When I started the phone I noticed the screen wouldn't turn off and the phone wouldn't lock.
Hoping I wont have to do a factory reset, if anyone has any ideas or suggestions, they'd be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Have same problem with my Alcatel Onetouch Fierce 2. Fairly certain it's from this Kingroot in my case. However I don't know enough to prove this. I started using apps to lock the screen for me but they started not working as well.
