Ok so my android version is 5.1.1 (non-rooted) and recently i changed my wallpaper. However, i've noticed that upon changing my wallpaper the lockscreen now dims. I have already tried to trick in which you set to swipe, and it does work momentarily, but returns back to dimming when i change back to any other lock type such as fingerprint. Please help me figure out how to make it so the lockscreen doesnt dim the wallpaper anymore WITHOUT having to root my phone. FYI, my auto brightness is off, and I have already tried turning my device on and off

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 recently updated my i9300 to paranoid android to 3.97 and I'm having two issues... First one is that apps that have border ads down the bottom.. Facebook.. Cheeseburger.. Astromanager etc if you take your finger Off the screen the screen turns black with only the ad showing..... The other issue is that the screen brightness can't decide if it's full of low. You press the power button the lock screen comes on Instantly dims.. Doesn't matter if light Meter is covered or light shining on it.. Disabled all power options.. Auto brightness is off... Tried lux app set all to 100% still dims.. When you run it after the screen dims it shows still being 100% touch the maximum and it comes back again.... Anyone have ideas. Googled ads but came up with nothing for black screen issue... Tried other solutions for the brightness issue still no luck.

Go to PA Q&A thread next time: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1887819
Due to lack of graphic driver on 4.3, the black screen thing could appear. There are two+ solutions:
1. follow this step by dontwannabehere

The fix is the following:
On your build prop file
There should be a line that says something like this " hwui.render dirty regions = false "
Just add the word debug at the beginning of the line "debug.hwui. render..... "

for your first problem: the glitches should have been solved with newest cm sources. But look in your build.prop if you have the entry "hwui.render_dirty_regions=false" if yes then change it to "debug.hwui.render_dirty_regions=false" without the " " )
for the second problem I cannot help you, as I am not using paranoid. Look if there is an update or ask in the paranoid Q&A thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1887819 (you could also have asked there your questions )
EDIT: sorry. I am ALWAYS to slow in writing aaargh
Appreciate the quick response... I tried the build.prop editing and this is where it got interesting... I cant edit it ... I've tweaked in the past with ES file explorer or root explorer but on this occasion the apps wont allow it ...does not allow the changes to be saved.... checked the root and thats fine, busybox is installed and working fine... my workaround was to tweak build.prop of the 3.97 rom of PA and apply it it from recovery.... this seems to have fixed the black screen in apps... so thanks for that.
I also just grabbed the 3.99 nightly of PA and build.prop already has the change applied, applying now.... result seems the brightness quirk is still there ... I tried the android sensor app and the lux settings seem to be correct so the light sensor is performing as expected the brightness is just not doing what its told... even if I set it to automatice brightness change the sensitivity and apply 100% to all different lux settings it just ignores it and dims the screen regardless... !!
I was trying different lock screen settings apks on my G3 and like a dummy I forgot to make a backup of the original. Does anyone have the apk that I can install to get it back to normal? I'm running Lollipop 5.0.1. I was trying things to see if I could get the weather effects back on my lock screen and the different lock screen unlock effects that I had before. Sadly, nothing has worked. Please help me. Thanks in advance.
Hi everyone ,
I've got the chinese Find X 256Gb (PAHM00) and there are issues with the 'curved panoramic light'.
If somebody is calling me, the screen lights up, showing the number and the 'curved panoramic light' lights up too.
But the main problems are the messages and notifications. If my phone lays down for a while (standby) and i recieve a message, the screen lights up showing the message on a banner and turns off after a few seconds, no 'curved panoramic light'. I tried several different settings/options, but there are always only two results: 1. as mentioned above, 2. the screen stays black and the phone just rings, no 'curved panoramic light'.
One time, the phone was in my pocket and i recieved a message, I immediately pulled it out, the screen was black and the 'curved panoramic light' lit up, but only two times. I can't reproduce this.
What's wrong with my phone? I even did a factory-reset, but without positive results.
Does anybody have the same problems or a solution?
Thanks.
@Oppo-newbie
Settings --> Smart & Convenient --> Gesture & Motion --> Turn off "Screen-off Gestures"
This option is already turned off. The 'Raise to Turn On Screen' is off too.

Panoramic ligth does work here, but only 2 times. I believe that's normal. So don't expect it to keep flashing, it's just 2 times and that's it.. (Probably would kill the battery if it kept flashing.
No, Oppo says: 'When someone is calling or there are new notifications that just came in, the curved edges will light up, continuously.' ( I can't put in the Oppo link ) . On the website, they also say, that the curved light doesn't work if 'Turn On Screen Notifications' is enabled and I think that this is my problem, but I don't have this setting in my menu.
Same question i want to ask.
Any idea how to keep the light flashing until i read the message?
hope they fix Light Options...
I’ve only ever seen 2x for notifications and infinite for calls. I think you’re experiencing the feature exactly as designed
Same here. Could you fix it? I mean, if this is how it's supposed to work , it's pointless.

As for now, this feature is ridiculous. I couldn't find a solution. Hopping Oppo will fix it with an update.
By the way: can anyone tell, if it is the same for the 'global' version?
The Edge panoramic light is working like i had hoped it would. I receive the same problem as well. If anyone know which exact method to have the settings too, that would help greatly as I'm about to loose my mind with this phone and its mysterious operational system.

are you saying if you have lock screen magazine on it will work more effectively, please clarify thanks .
Mine works completely fine. Have global version CPH1871EX.
I have the screen clock on standby active and also the lockscreen magazine.
Also please check if the Turn on Screen for Notifications in set to OFF in the Notifications & Status Bar settings. Might be the reason why your display switches on instead of showcasing the panaromic notification light. BTW the notification light comes only twice over the edges and not more.
Here, I got it working after hours of try and error. Actually, it was a theme issue for me. First of all I turned off "Turn on screen for notifications" option in "Notification and statusbar" menu. This is what I did next:
0. Set lockscreen from the default theme
1. Turn on Lockscreen Magazine
2. Click on a like button, read a story
3. Turn off Lockscreen Magazine
4. Open Themes -> me -> my wallpapers
5. Set any wallpaper as lockscreen one
Im using 2 apps Rotation Control to lock on orientation mode and Power Toggles to toggle sleep mode.
Rotation Control:
I use it to lock on landscape mode all the time. But with some apps, it still opens in portrait mode and even set to auto mode. Still it wont turn to landscape mode at all and can only use it on portrait mode! Some apps, it still opens in portrait mode, but after turned on auto mode and turn the tablet to landscape mode and I can lock it to landscape. But still very annoying to do this every time. it happens. I have never such problem in all mine apps in all mine previous tablets. Only on this M5 tablet.
Power Toggle:
I use this widget to toggles between sleep time. Ex set it to 3-10 min and after a while it turns auto back to 30 sec!
Anyone can tell me what the heck is going on? Is it the tablet/EMUI or apps causing this?
Rotation Control works perfectly for me, although I primarily force auto rotation. I'm rooted if it makes a difference (I don't think it does).
If you use a third party app/widget to change screen brightness or timeout, the value resets after you turn the screen off. That's an EMUI thing, I think. There is probably a work around (I would try freezing iAware if rooted) although I have learned to roll with it. Kindisplay does work to keep the screen on where movement is detected.

I managed to solve orientation problem to allow Rotation Control for app overlay. But the annoying Android system shows up in status bar and can't get rid of that message.
I suspected that was EMUI thing, reset to 30 sec. But can't find any solution to this stupid feature.
This will be mine first and last Huawei device. Good quality but crap software.

That's and Android thing I believe, not EMUI. You can get rid of the notification by following these instructions:
