Hi
I have an unlocked samsung galaxy s4 gi-i19505
Recently after i updated to 4.4.2 kitkat i started having problems. After the phone is not being used for a while, when i press the unlock button the unlock screen appears but the circle with the lock inside it is missing and the phone appears to loose touch i can't unlock the phone or pull down the notification panel. When i press the lock button again the screen goes black and the phone just freezes completely. It doesn't react to the unlock button any more or to the home screen button. I have to take out the battery and then everything is normal again until the phone is left unused for a while again.
I tried reinstalling the firmware again but it didn't help. I didn't factory reset the phone as I don't want to be setting it up again as it takes me a while. Does anyone have similar problems knows how to fix it ?
Thanks.

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)

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,
I apologise if this has been asked before but I did a search and have found no solution that works.
From yesterday my Nokia has had an issue with the display dim and timeout. When the phone is first switched on it works fine and dims and locks within the set time (30 seconds) once I start using the phone say I send a text, put the phone down it just stays unlocked and does not dim. Also, if I press the power button to lock the screen it does not go black it locks the screen but stays lit (like when pressing power to see the time when locked) I have updated the software, this did not fix the issue. I restored back to before the update. I've also gone to settings>about> reset phone (I've actually done this several times) but the issue is still there!! Do I assume there is a fault on the phone now or am I missing some simple solution?!? It is driving me mad as it was fine. I'm in Cyprus so I'm not sure how easy it is to take to a service centre. Any ideas please?
Thanks in advance
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.
Hello guys ,

Seems like some people have this issue due to cases with magnets in them. Either from that or them magnetizing one of the screws on the back of the phone that makes the phone think you have the S-View type case on and closed. Another thing to try is to go to Settings > My Device > Accessory > check Automatic Unlock.
Hi, I noticed that when I log into the S3 everything is fine but when I log into it as the 2nd user the screen goes blank right away. I have to press the power button to get it back and even then as soon as I enter the key code, a black screen comes up and then a moment later the normal screen appears.
Something similar happens when I turn on the S3 and simply pull down the screen to change user right away.
Is there any way to fix this?
