Unable to Unlock Screen (Epic Unlock Screen) - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am using Darky's ROM 9.2 and all has been fine until today.
Normally I use the Android unlock screen but I was a bit bored of it, so just changed to the bottom option (Epic? Unlock screen).
Now, I am unable to unlcock the screen. The buttons cause the screen to come on, but touching the screen gets no response. Have tried rebooting but no joy.
Can anyone think of any options without flashing a new ROM using CWM/Odin?
Thanks

Hmm, eventually started responding, just VERY VERY slowly. Then did it again and same result. Changed to a different lock screen now and working again, lol

different rom but same problem, tx for the heads up, saved much headache

Stuck on lock screen.... Android 2.1/2.2

So, I downloaded and launched it perfectly... everything so far i tried is working fine except the lock screen... Some times when i press the Cancel key the button lights lid up but there is nothing on the screen and sometimes it appear the lock screen but nothing happen....
Do someone have any solution to this...
Thank you.
I have the same problem. I have been reading that possibly going back to an older kernel / roofs fixes this problem but have not seen and confirmed reports.
Can anyone confirm this and what version?
Thanks
Same problem at me. Both builds are running very fine for some tine but after that are running slow.I don't know why. Maybe is somehow related with the lockscreen problem?
I have this problem as well i get lucky if i manage to move passt the lock screen and the OS runs really slow it takes like 20 seconds just to open the app screen and the app screen laggs like no to morrow how come so menny ppls can get it to run just fine but i cant it makes me sad face
+1 one for me... I have got a TOPA100, it's almost impossible to wake up the device, sometimes the lockscreen is visible, but it's impossible to move the unlock slider. Usually I need about 10 times and something around 5 Minutes to wake up the device.
Same problem here, would be great if this can be fixed...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
For me it's the same and the battery runs only for one hour, I think a (system?)process is running with 100% CPU time. I am new to android, so I don't know where to look.
Same here on an AT&T Pure. Sure would love to get this fixed however I'm reasonably noob to the Android world (not completely novice to linux in general, and I have successfully flashed my AT&T TyTN II thanks to this site.) Fixing this would be a huge help!
Thanks
More specifically on my device I encounter. The following:
- Turn screen off via end button.
- Turn on screen via call button.
HW button lights come on for a few seconds then cut themselves off.
Screen does not turn on at this point.
- Turn on screen via call button again
- Screen comes on with HW button lights
about half the time screen is unresponsive and will not all me to unlock with swipe of finger
Other times will accept input and unlock to the home screen
When unresponsive repeating entire process above will likely allow me to unlock successfully.
Thanks!
Sent from my AT&T Pure using XDA App
same
my screen never wakes up
end up using soft reset to windows mobile
(it could be something to do with startup??)

[Q] [HELP] Weird Screen Wake Isuue

I'm running the latest:
CM7 - RC1
Radio-5.12.00.08
The issue is every time the screen times out. - Lock button, while in a phone call when the proximity senor activates, or just a regular screen time out.
The weird part is when it's locked and I press the lock button to turn on the screen the screen doesn't turn on, but the touch sensors still work(I can unlock the phone by feeling for the unlock tab) & the buttons light up. The phone doesn't freeze up. Also, the screen has no color issue; I tested the multi-touch with the dev tools in CM7 and it's 100% functional.
I've tried wiping everything and reflashing with both Clock Work Mod Recovery & Amon_RA's.
I would kindly appreciate help in anyway.
I just got this Nexus one with an unlocked bootloader running CM5. (lol I know) My cousin is trying to sell it to me and left it to me so I can fix the issue. If I can't I suppose I won't buy it.

**HELP**Lock button permanently locks

I have a strange problem, well a few. If I lock my phone (C6903) using the physical button I can't unlock it again. I try for about 5-10 minutes sometimes and it just wont work. If I hold it down I can feel it vibrate as if it's bringing up the power menu but the screen just stays black. Eventually it will randomly wake up then I can play around as normal. If I leave it to lock itself I can unlock every time, fist time no worries. This is what pointed me to it being a SW problem rather than a hardware problem.
I also noticed that when I do have the screen turning off in the dark, I can see that the screen is still lit up! Just it is black, not completely asleep. It's really quite bright when I have it next to the bed. Also when I am outside I can't see the screen at all really, even with the brightness turned right up.
It's really strange all these happened about the same time. I figured maybe it was a ROM problem and a fresh install of stock ROM would help. Tried it and at first most of these problems went, just the fact I still couldn't really see the screen in the sun. I tried another ROM and at first was just the same but then these problems started again.
Has anyone had any or all of these problems or got any ideas what it could be? I am left thinking now that the problem is more likely hardware related as the problems are so sporadic and happen whatever I have installed.
Any help / suggestions would be appreciated but I have the feeling I will have to just admit the phone is dogged
You say that most of the problems desapararecen to install a new ROM, it is likely that installing something extra to be the cause, I was introduced me something similar with Expoxed Notifications Module.
Try a clean installation without installing test applications to determine if the problem recurs.
Thanks, yes I guess I will try that, bit of a pain having to reinstall apps after every install and restoring messages etc so I might just put up for now.
I also have realised that the screen not turning on and the screen staying on but black happen at different times. i.e. I can now randomly turn the screen on and off no problem (don't think I have installed or deleted any apps or changed anything), but the screen stays awake when off. When I was last not able to turn the screen back on after turning off the screen actually went to sleep. Very strange

Touch just stopped working any way to backup phone with unresponsive touch feedback?

So I was just using the phone without issue yesterday evening. Then it just stopped responding and was sitting on my home screen. Thought it was locked then a phone call came it. Obviously not locked. Then it chimed an email came in. Again obviously not locked. Rebooted the phone to obviously the pin screen due to restart. No ability to touch any numbers. Don't feel the vibration of touching the screen either. Display is fine, not dropped, phone calls will pop up on the screen but no way to do anything.
I obviously need to replace the screen with touch digitizer I guess. How much fun that's going to be to find when every result under the sun comes up because of all the Mi Mix versions.
Is there a windows app that can backup the phone without unlocking it or imputing anything into the phone? Or am I screwed? Was going to try factory reset as a last resort before attempting to find a new screen for it. But really want to back it up first if it's possible.
