I am on stock jl5, and have been using it without a problem for sometime. until today when my lock pattern simply dissappeared, and changed on its own to default glass lock screen.
It surprised me, but I didn't give it too much though, and changed back to my lock pattern. And again five minutes later, phone switched back to glass lock screen. I tried all secure lock methods, but phone keeps switching back to glass lock screen, disabling all the secure logins on it's own.
Any advice?

1. Try rebooting, or otherwise just reflash your ROM. This will fix it most likely.
2. Post in the Q and A section

Hello,
I am not sure I am in the right spot or forum but I am running cm-10.2-20131111-NIGHTLY-ovation.zip on a Nook HD+ and it is running beautiful but, at times the entire device locks up. This happens on the lock screen and when swiped you just see a flash of the home page then right back to lock screen. Will not allow entry. Happens when the device sits even for only a few minutes. Need to reboot to get back in. Then works fine, let it go to lock screen (will not allow entry). Anyone else having the problem? Right now I have the lock screen turned off and appears to be running fine. Happened with original install and now two of the nightlies.

Usually that is caused by your case with a magnet in it. If you have that, open the case twice before attempting to swipe.

I was wondering if anybody had noticed this.
When I change lock screen security from swipe to say "lock pattern", it does nothing.
It'll disable other lock widgets, because I guess in 4.3 or touchwiz you can't have widgets and lock patterns (but I digress).
The lock screen unlock will still be a swipe, no pattern.
Anybody else experience this?
Any work arounds?
Thanks.

I assume you changed the timeout for the lock engage?

That baffles me until I noticed I did not change the timeout for the Secured lock time to instant. Then I said to myself, this can be useful. Set Secured lock time out to 1 hour and use the password lock option. If I lost or displaced my phone, it will be password locked in 1 hour but if I use my phone constantly every 5-10 minutes, I still have the benefit of the easy to use slide to lock knowing that it is backed up with a password lock after 1 hours of no activity.
Then I try to repeat this on my old Sprint Note 2, Sprint Note 3, Samsung Note 10.1 2014 and I can't do it. Instead of a slide to unlock within the specified Secured lock time, I am greeted with a totally unlock screen. Which is really bad for butt dialing and accidental touch screen use since the screen is not protected by slide to unlock while it is in your pocket.
It seems this is a unique feature to AT&T note 3.
Try turning off the lock screen effect. I had this problem and I changed the effect from watercolor to none and that fixed it.
I set up the fingerprint scanner to unlock my screen exactly how it's supposed to be done, within the menus. I set up and registered my fingerprint without a problem. But, when I lock the screen, then go to unlock it, it has defaulted to me swiping the screen. If I restart the phone, the first time I have to unlock it, it asks for my fingerprint. I do that, then if I lock the screen again, it once again defaults to swipe. I dont understand why it doesn't stay on for every unlock. Someone help me, this is annoying.

System Settings > Lock Screen > Secured Lock time. What does it say here? change this to what ever you desire. Instant to 1 hour. mine was 10 min default I think. I use 3.
It said 10, you were dead on, that fixed the problem. Thanks so much for your help.

I'm running lmy48i rooted. Project fi the whole time.
My phone is randomly, not duplicatably, unlocking itself in my pocket, or as I'm holding it. It's not a power button issue, as much as i want it to be. Ambient display is off
I've pulled the phone from my pocket with it unlocked in camera mode, having taken numerous pictures, no on screen buttons working because it's not "unlocked". I've picked up my phone and it unlock itself straight to the home screen, with a good 5 second lag before the lockscreen kicks in.
This happens with a pin code lock also.
I don't want to have to factory reset, as I'd rather pinpoint the problem in case it is indeed something I've done, so i don't replicate it after a reset and still have the problem.
Anybody have any ideas what i could look at for this? It's not always been this way, but it's so random, i can't pinpoint any changes or programs that i have that would be causing it.
I've searched my heart out, but all my searches come up with other related things and I've not seen any one with this specific issue

Settings -> Security -> Smart Lock -> enter your pin -> On-body detection -> turn that crap off.
Personally, I use Trusted devices (BT smartwatch,) and can understand Trusted places. But I don't know who'd want to keep their device unlocked when it's being carried around, possibly by a thief.
Tried that also. I tried toggling it on for a while then back off to see if maybe that'd jog some setting, but it hasn't fixed the issue.
I've even disabled smart lock altogether to see if that would work, and it hasn't.
Edit
I've only recently enabled pin lock to make sure i wasn't in fact leg-unlocking my phone through my pants. But enabling pin lock, smart unlock or not, hasn't changed the situation.

I have two locks on my lock screen. One is the standard slide lock, and the other is a pattern lock. I don't know how I got both at the same time but it's annoying. At this point I am ready to go lockless altogether (if that's possible). Any ideas guys?
