[Q] ~ My lock Screen is gone ~

Today when i woke up my phones fine, then i go to check a text message and notice, it did not show the lock screen. I lock the phone and again no lock screen.
I then power off the phone and no luck then pulled the battery, still the same thing. i end up having to do a factory reset on then phone and well it working now.
I'm just afraid the it will happen again and wanted to know if any one has any information regarding this issue???
Thank you!!

I noticed my lock screen would only sometimes show up. If you go into settings for the lockscreen you can set it to only show up every x minutes. Mine was set to 20. I've since changed it and now it's there everytime...

funny cause i thought the lock screen was over-sensitive. usually on d1/d2, if you hit the power button and then hit it again, the lock screen would not show up most of the time. like the screensaver on your desktop, if you respond fast enough, you won't have to unlock.
everytime i turn my screen off, i get the lock screen. so?

Menu, Home, etc keys aren't lit up anymore

My home, menu, search, etc keys are not lighting up anymore. I tried restarting the phone to see if it would get em lit up agian, but no luck. I can go into Settings > Display > Adjust Brightness, but whenever the phone screen locks they go off again until I do the above again.
They were lit up fine until I tried to enter CWM recovery by holding power and vol down.
Phone is rooted, 2.3.4 update, stock rom.
EDIT: I have no idea what I did to fix it but it's fixed now =/.

its a known bug, usually after charging it will go back to normal. nothing serious.

Hold the phone up to a light while the screen is on. It can be anything from a flashlight to a computer monitor.

Go to Display. take the check-mark out and reboot. Then put the check-mark back in and reboot again. Hope it works. Its a GB thing!

This is the best solution I've found for this problem. Flash a light onto the phone censor. Or just hold your phone up to a bright monitor like he mentioned. Fixes it every time. You'll probably have to do this every time you reboot because that's usually when the problem reoccures.

if you add the brightness widget to one of you screen and then use it to adjust brightness, it will light up the buttons

App update just disabled my phone??

I have an AT&T S5 running stock recovery with towelroot. Phone has been fine today, had 4 apps that required additional permissions for updates today so I ran them. I recall 2 were USAA and Tasker. Also FingerSecurity just got an update prior. After I accepted the additional permissions, I turned the screen off. I then heard it make the lock sound 3 times while the screen was off.
Currently I can turn the screen on or off, however the lock screen never comes up, just the home screen. Everything on the screen is unresponsive and the taskbar is gone. I've rebooted, wiped cache in recovery, it comes up the same way, bypassing the lock screen even though I have it secured with fingerprint. On the 3rd or 4th reboot, I did get a dialog saying systemui crashed. It keeps shifting the icons slightly like it's trying to add the taskbar but they shift about 10 times before finally stopping with no taskbar.
When I long press the power button, I have to be quick otherwise the dialog will disappear.
Is there anything I can do besides a factory reset?

Screen randomly turns on and off

Hello.
I have a problem with my Sony Xperia Z. When I use it (browse internet or just stay in launcher) sometimes it randomly turn screen on and off. Happens also when screen is off and lockscreen is showing out of nowhere. I tried to disable power button and set volume up as my power button but even with using volume up it still happens. What can I do?

Seems like some app is running in the background and turning on and off your screen. There are two ways to go about it but I would like to know if you are rooted or not. because it would only work on rooted devices.
look for Greenify in Google Play and how to use it.
Secondly , check this app. it will tell you which app is waking it up.

I hope this is enough, however, if you need any further assistance, make sure you quote me for an answer.
Good Luck

Periodic blank desktop

I am having an issue with my rooted, unlocked phone on 5.1.1. Every once in a while when in an app and pressing the home button to go back to the desktop I will instead get a blank screen. The navigation buttons are visible and respond when pressed (a gray background shows briefly when pressed) but don't do anything. I can pull down the notification shade but nothing happens when I press a notification. I can press the setting button but again nothing happens. This happened once while I was playing music and the music continued to play. I have to turn the phone off and then back on again to get it to work again. I thought it might be a Nova launcher problem so I went back to the default Google launcher but it still happens. As a last resort I reloaded the factory image, re-rooted and cleared all ther data to start from scratch but it is still happening. Has anyone seen this before or have any ideas what is causing this? It is driving me crazy.
Thanks,
John

It happens on my N6 a few times. Mostly when I had changed something.
For instance changing a language textfile of the nav.app Sygic. Or after adding custom Poi's.
Reboot solves the problem.
My idea is that it is related to caching or memory management.
Root N6, 5.1.1 LMY48i, FK r31, encrypted.
Disabled most g-apps;
