Hi,
i own two Atrix HD phones, and one started having the lock screen notification check function start to not work a week or so ago. so today, i tried the second phone, and at first it worked. then after locking the screen a second time, it stopped working on that phone as well.
what is going on here? did at&t disable that function somehow? they both are on 4.1.1, and i have no security measures in place. i just have the lock screen set to slide in the settings.
EDIT: never mind, i think i solved the mystery. if you don't have the sim card in, you won't get that function. that's odd, since you don't need the sim card to receive emails, etc. oh well.

This is one of several problems with my AT&T Tilt. My 30 day return policy ends November 8, so I'm trying to figure out which problems are specific to my phone and which are just Kaiser in general.
Once or twice a day, my phone screen gets corrupt with overlapping text and only the screen locks up. Also, ActiveSync no longer connects. Otherwise, the phone is still fully functional. The screen still responds to touch (although I can't tell what I'm touching), sounds still works, I can make/receive calls, and Voice Command works and even announces incoming calls. The only way I've found to unfreeze the screen is to soft reset.
This happens on both the AT&T and Helmi ROMs with minimal apps and tweaks commonly used by fellow XDA members. So I'm thinking either the problem is my phone's video chip or it's the video driver common to Kaiser ROMs. But if it's the latter and it's happening to other people twice a day, too, I can't imagine that no one would have posted about this irritating problem.
Note that this is different from the thread "random freezing on tilt", where their phone locks up for a few seconds then unfreezes. In my case, ONLY the SCREEN locks up and NEVER unlocks.
Anyone's Kaiser having this only-screen-frozen problem?
Is it only me?
I take by the complete lack of responses and very low view count that no one has this problem except me?
I'm thinking I just got a f'd up Tilt based on these constant lockups on two different ROMs, my Bluetooth problems (which no one else seems to have), plus the 2 dead pixels on the screen (one locked blue above the Start icon and the second locked red just above the hour digits on the HTC Home clock). Guess it's back to the crappy AT&T ROM for me, then wait for a lock up as partial proof of my problems and go the AT&T store to request a new Tilt (which, according to another recent thread, AT&T no longer has in stock).
Just for future reference, it seems that I actually get two types of lockups.
The most common lockup is as described, where the screen gets corrupted with overlapping text and locks up, but phone and touchscreen are still fully operational.
Less common is a complete phone lockup, which causes me to miss calls. The screen doesn't get corrupt, but the phone is completely frozen except for the power button turning the screen off/on.
Well pretty much as the title says, I removed the SIM from my Galaxy S today to use in another phone as it was going flat and I had no access to a charger, turned it back on without a SIM in it when I finally put it on charge because I wanted to read something I wrote into AK Notepad and holy crap, everything is gone, the phone is back to being a fresh install of my ROM. Is this meant to happen, can it be avoided in future? I've been using my old HTC Magic occasionally on WiFi with no SIM and it would be extremely annoying if this happened again.
No it's not supposed to happen.
Check your security settings in settings -> security.
Weird situation started tonight. Phone is my sons and is completely stock. If i pop the battery out and boot it, i am able to get in from lockscreen and use the phone without issue. If i let the screen timeout or lock it the screen will not respond to touch what so ever essentially locking me out of the phone unless i pop the battery again. Ive tried the basics, hard reset, changing lock screen settings. Any ideas? Even with a reset im leaning towards a software issue as it works fine once i do get in. I appreciate any input, thanks
Had a simular issue mine was caused with an issue regarding superuser permissions and my set cpu enabling when screen timed out. Seemed my cet cpu wasn't getting superuser and wasn't abling my phone to turn on.

Restore using a SBF, if you look under the general tab, probably page 2, look for my fast/easy unbrick. This can be applied to a unbricked device as it restores EVERYTHING back to 5.6.890 (leaves SD cards alone though). That should fix your problem.
Anyone else have an issue with this phone following the update that just rolled out recently? Since my wife updated today, every time she unlocks the phone it does not respond to any screen presses, from lock screen or from main screen when lock screen is disabled.
Phone was never rooted, so i know that's not the problem. as it sits right now, we did a factory reset (at Verizon) and it did not fix it. Any help would be appreciated.

You could try reverting it back using the guide here to see if it rules out your upgrade. I've been running 24A a couple days and countless others have upgraded, haven't heard this complaint yet.
Title says it all, this morning randomly the pattern that I've used for a while did not work I almost had a little panic attack and then I tried my fingerprint and it worked. I went into settings and changed the pattern back to the same one that it was for so long and now it seems to work. What the help could explain that?
Was my phone hacked? Is this a common occurrence? I have a locked up Verizon 512GB blue device. Thank you
This theme was the only alteration I did too my phone lately. I am also is using 'bixby actions' apk . I haven't executed the exc step for bixby actions via adb this round, so it's bone stock.
