[Q] [RESOLVED] 2 lock screens in TL on JB

Looks like this is by "design". I've observed the issue on other stock ROMs.
Ever since I upgraded my TL30at to at&t-provided JB (9.1.F.1.120) I've been experiencing a strange issue: in addition to my selected lock screen (pattern), I see the JB slide screen with the music player and camera options, too. Specifically: when phone is locked and asleep, I press the power button and see the slide screen for about half a second then the pattern screen appears to unlock the phone; when the screen times out and I press the power button, I see the slide unlock screen (screen and lock time outs are set to different values).
The "main" lock screen has the same background as desktop and the slide lock screen has either the default theme background or the one defined in Settings->Display->Lock Screen.
I also noticed that the option for additional privacy of the lock screen that was present in ICS - blocking the notification area opening unless the device is unlocked - is "missing". I had it enabled. It's not present in JB but the "main" (desired/secure) lock screen behaves as if it is still present and enabled while the swipe screen allows to open the notification area.
I've already tried:
- changing unlock method (the slide screen is always there unless there's no unlock and the lock screen behaves "normally" when it's set to slide);
- resetting the phone (soft and hard resets);
- disabling Nova Launcher.
The device isn't rooted or otherwise modded.
Is this normal behavior in JB or some weird glitch with my install?

sounds weird to me, try a clean install

Noob question (I've dealt only with fully unlocked & rooted devices before): how do I do it?
The install threads I've seen around here are for customs ROMs and unlocked/rooted devices. Did I miss it?

That didn't help. I got 2 lock screens "out of the box". I'll try tomorrow with ADB backup and no PC Companion backup in order to ensure that I get 100% clean JB.
The one thing that keeps on bugging me is that ICS used to have an option for additional privacy of the lock screen - blocking the notification area opening unless the device is unlocked. I had it enabled. It's not present in JB but the "main" (desired/secure) lock screen behaves as if it is still present and enabled while the swipe screen allows to open the notification area.

Pccompanion will give you a complete pure flash of an out of the box phone as it is Sony's official tool and you download the software straight from Sony.
Have you rooted the phone or done anything else to it

Mine does that too. It has done that on every JB rom I have used. I especially notice it now with the AT&T JB. I haven't found a way to get rid of it so I just ignore it.

I used this repair function to no avail. I also did a full factory reset followed by PC Companion restore also with no luck. The phone isn't rooted. The only customization I made to it outside of standard settings was installing Nova Launcher through the Market.

I'm a very picky about my UX. The easy workaround is to set timeout and lock to the same value and make power button lock automatically, but that's not how the device was designed to work.

I have tried to no avail to reproduce this bug and no matter which lockscreen i choose in settings I only get the one lockscreen so not sure what else to suggest.

I've now rooted the phone and installed CWM to clean all cache and settings. Nothing helped, so I'm guessing the problem is somewhere in non-user settings and probably has to do with upgrading from ICS. I just wish I could erase the phone like a computer disk and perform a 100% clean install of JB.

well if you have now rooted you can do a factory reset in recovery and flash another ROM. Make sure you have a .zip for another rom on the sd card first.
Try my stock based custom ROM and see if the problem persists.
PS, if you repair your phone using PCCompanion then that is a 100% clean install from Sony.

Re: [Q] [Help] 2 lock screens in TL on JB
If you're rooted now, uninstall Sony lockscreen, if you don't plan to use it. Pattern lock is AOSP.

[Q] Can't lock the screen!

hey all.
i have an lg p880 running cm 10.1.3 and iodak 8.5 kernel.
Normally when i click on the top button the screen locks and if i click again it shows me the unlock screen. whats happening is that the screen locks but when i click on the button to unlock, the phone doesnt show me the lock screen. I've tried choosing the slide option, the PIN option, password and all the others. it never shows me the lock screen and goes directly to the desktop.
I also reflashed the rom and kernel and the problem is still there.
Any ideas?

Do you have any custom lockscreen?
Do you tried to wipe data, to reset settings? Try this or try also cm10.2, it's in good state with optimus play (just my opinion)

I wiped all data and cache. Dont have custom lockscreen also. Im running 10.1 because its the stable version. Any more ideas of what it could be ?

I'm not running CM at the moment so can't check, but does it have an option under "Lock Screen" settings for "Lock Screen Timer"? If so, check how long that is set to.

[Q] i9000 screen waking itself constantly?!

Recently i put cm11 on my i9000 and now the screen is constantly turning on. As soon as the screen lock is turned on, the phone wakes again.
Sometimes this happens indefinitely and sometimes it only happens once then the screen will sleep after a second press of the lock/power button.
The only consistent thing appears to be that when the lock screen is unlocked the recent apps are always shown.
I've tried formatting/wiping and different night lies and the m4 snapshot but it all happens exactly the same.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

use this and see if it's the rom or an app that's keeping the phone awake http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2179651

Thanks, I've installed this earlier today and I don't quote understand it.
According to wake lock detector, under screen wake lock, running and usage, phone - system (radio) is number one.
Does this mean it's the rom keeping the phone awake?

Not sure how wakelock works to be honest but I don't think it's the rom that's the problem, it sounds like its the radio (modem) try flashing a different baseband for your region and see if that fixes the problem? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1870460 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158783

Tried several different radios without any success I'm afraid.
Just tried flashing stock JVU rom and then back to CM11 without any success. Exactly the same issue.
Oddly, if you hold the home key whilst pressing the lock key, the screen turns off and stays off for a while, then wakes after a minute or so again.

New Method
Try going into settings>Applications (or Apps)> Running and check which application(s) is taking up the most memory, it may be that a application from an unknown source is waking up the device, like a virus or your phone is consuming too much RAM. If this is the case try and delete it or run a security scan from the play store such as BitDefender.
Another option is to run a more stable version of CyanogenMod instead of a Nightly, I had problems with Nightly builds and changed back to a stable build. Try the new 4.4 snapshot of CyanogenMod, it is more stable. DOWNLOAD from the official cyanogenmod website, don't update using the option in settings as it always sends my phone into a boot loop. Hope it helps

Try another ROM
Let me know if switching to another ROM helps. I'd suggest Paranoid Android or OmniROM.
The thanks button is right there! just saying...

No luck unfortunately, I think I've narrowed it down, and the menu button keeps activating itself.

Have you erased each and everything? /data and stuff? also, just see if Touchwake is enabled by any chance

I don't mean to drag this old thread back up, but I've come to use my i9000 again as a backup device and it still has this same problem.
Is there anyway I can prove that it's a button that's faulty (for instance)?
I thought maybe a logger that would show if it detected/logged the home button being pressed when I notice the screen turning itself on, but I can't find such an app.

[Q] Xperia SP multitouch problem?

Hey,
I just noticed that when I'm pressing the screen with one finger, then trying to hold another finger while still holding onto the screen, there is a small delay in recognising the 2nd finger...
This only happens after 30 minutes of usage, as the multitouch works just fine for a while after powering up.
The delay is not that much, but is enough to not recognise when I'm simply tapping the screen, which makes it impossible to play games like fifa 14 properly, since I have to hold down the button for a while to have a response...
I'm currently rooted, on stock 12.1.A.1.205, on the stock kernel.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Yeah I also have multitouch problem.Can't play games that require multitouch(fifa,mc5 etc)
I think it is hardware problem

Quick question dude...did you try a factory reset?
I'm thinking of trying it but I don't want to lose my data without fixing it...
Can anyone confirm that this is a hardware problem?

I have the same problem, and I'm sure isn't a hardware problem because it started when I updated the phone to the 12.1.A.1.205 version.
I also have a problem with the back key, it works for a couple of clicks and it stop working until I press the home key. This happens after the update as well, before all has working fine. It's annoying!

I thought I was the only one with the back key problem. The multitouch one I never tested.
This is why I moved to CM11 (also because of ThemeChooser :silly: )

Sorry to ask this, but, what is CM11?

CM11 is a custom ROM (basically a whole new operating system). And it's based on android 4.4.4
I used to be on CM11, it is so good, but I prefer Sony's UI.
Also, thanks for the help. Since this isn't a hardware problem I'll try a factory reset and see what happens...

Please post your results after the factory reset, I will do the same if it works for you!

I don't think factory reset would work because I keep flashing different roms with complete wipe.

Apparently a factory reset didn't help...neither a firmware upgrade...
So it has to be another thing causing it....
Any other ideas?

Bad news with the reset then
I had to reboot my phone in safe mode (I think this is the name in English, "modo seguro" in Spanish) and the multitouch seems that doesn't fail in this mode. So I think is some program that is loaded with a normal boot which is causing the trouble.

Yeah but when I start the phone it works just fine...It's after a while that the problem happens...
Even if I don't open an app, it's still happening...

Hmm But there are programs that start automatically. I killed every process I don't use, and I'm testing if it works.

I'm fresh out of a factory reset, so I don't really have any apps installed except titanium backup and es file explorer. I also killed every app except the ones that the phone needs to work properly....still no change.
After a random amount of minutes it works fine, without doing anything...
Also a question: How did you test it in safe mode? You can't have your downloaded app on safe mode to test it..

Well safe mode isn't the solution....you can't be onto safe mode for ever...
It's funny cuz the multitouch thing is actually working, but you have to hold the screen to do so not tap it. If u tap it it wont recognise ur finger
Any one got something before I actually give up on this?

The weird thing is that after rebooting from the safe mode to the normal mode and kill every app in execution that I don't use, it works. The multitouch and the back key is working. I have no idea what to think.

When I start up the phone and start a game like Shadow Fight, it works fine for me too. But when I launch another game that's where it starts to delay...

Sad news...
After trying everything, from settings to scripts and touch boosting apps, I left my hopes on changing the ROM i use...
I had a stored backup of my 4.3 stock rom in the past. I restored it today and the problem persists...
I also flashed a fresh new build of cyanogenmod 11, which I used in the past aswell. No help...
I can now conclude that this is a hardware problem.
But what I don't understand is...why does this only happen after 30+ minutes of usage of the phone?
I mean it works perfectly fine on games when I start up the phone...
Thanks to everybody for the help...

OOPS that's for unresponsive touch, sorry

Downloading stop when using other apps

My Mi8 using MIUI Eu Dev 9.10.17.
Since 9.10.11 there was a strange about downloading process.
If I still on downloading, and move to home screen or use other apps, and go back to download apps, the download process is stopped or failed.
I've already setting the download app to"not optimize".
Maybe anybody have similar problem?

Have you ever turn on developer option? If yes, maybe you turn on "don't keep activities" just turn it off, restart and try again, check if the problem solved..

Its likely your wifi manager settings, that is causing your download issue. You also have the option of locking the window so that it stays active.
Go to wlan/additional settings/ wlan assistant > turn on
Traffic Mode> On > regular mode

I've tried suggestions from you guys and it worked. Thanks for all suggestions.

I am also facing the same problem. There's no traffic mode in miui 12. So what should I do ?
