I have a Nexus One with a weird problem. When i reboot it, it works fine, until i lock it with the lock button (screen goes out). After that i cant unlock it anymore, if i try only the buttons at the bottom come on. But if i wait a while (say, an hour or so) i can again unlock it.
Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this problem?
P.S. This may have happened after i bashed the phone into my table a couple of times for giving me trouble

Basically I had a look about here and can't see anyone else with the same issue.
I've not long had the phone and the other night I had a call quite late saying I'd been phoning them 5 times. I'd locked my phone but when I looked at it it was awake and unlocked.
I can lock my phone (hold down the end call key) but with a bit of movement to the phone it brings up the unlock screen and unlocks itself.
This also happens if I lock the phone and turn off the screen with the power button. After a little shake about the phone will turn on and unlock itself.
You can imagine the problems this can cause whilst in my pocket.
I've not messed with the firmware yet or even any registry entries, it's as it was from HTC.
I am having this same issue with mine. I hold down the End key for a few seconds to lock, it locks successfully, but if I move my finger a bit and touch any other part of the surface it unlocks almost instantly. Sometimes the lock remains, but it's more likely that it will get unlocked.
I tried using TouchLockPro, but that didn't seem to help me much (it seems like it's not even functioning, actually). I'm running A.Z.T.O.R. V7 WWE ROM.

Have you tried going to settings then hitting "key lock". On the screen that comes up check the first option "lock all buttons except power button".
Works fine for me - when I switch off screen using power button everything is locked (buttons and screen) until I hit power button again or I get an incoming call.
Mine is set to that, but it doesn't seem to have much effect.
Sometimes I will hit the power button to shut the screen off and later when I pull it out of my pocket the screen is on and something (e.g. Calendar, System Time, etc) is open. During the period it was in my pocket I received no calls or texts.
When I try to hold the end key to lock the phone, it will lock it for ~1 second and then automatically unlock it. Doing it a second or third time will usually get a lock that "sticks" (at least for a while).
There has to be a good solution for this out there, but I've tried PocketShield and TouchLockPro without luck.

Diamond unlocks itself
I have this problem as well. I went to a meeting, locked my phone and it made 20 calls to my friend abroad, so I am really pissed, it happened before but I thought it was because it got knocked in my handbag.- Please help
Also my battery life has depreciated in a big way, at first 24 hours , 4 months later I'm lucky if it's lasting 6 hours and that's without making a call. I've turned of wi-fi, 3G etc. What is happening
Use sensorlock its great if you set it to unlock when you take the stylus out and relock when u slide it back in

TouchLockPro should just work. In post #5 alternatives are mentioned (and also why the built-in Windows Mobile lock is not a solution for your problem)!
ok first off yes I did search, so if i missed please just be nice and post up the link.
So anyway, first off my power button works just fine, please keep that in mind, but my phone wont lock right. When i push the power button the screen turns off and it will lock, but only for the first 2 or 3 times, then it stops working until i switch to one of the other locking methods (pin, pattern, password) but the same thing happens with those, i get just a couple locks and then it stops locking. The screen still turns off but it wont lock, not until i change the lock method.
Any help would be appreciated, if i need to explain better let me know.
BTW. Im running stock unrooted on FRG83.
Thanks for any help
Any ideas????
I just recently purchased a Nexus 6 project FI phone that was on sale and have been encountering a weird issue: whenever I lower the brightness down all the way and try to hit the power button to unlock, the lock screen flashes for a second and goes back to black and I'm not able to unlock it. What's weird is it still registers my touches because it vibrates as if I was swiping for my unlock pattern. The only solution to this is to keep hitting the power button quickly until the screen finally decides to turn on.
The build is LYV48h running 5.1.1 and rooted/unlocked
Has anyone run into this issue, and if so what can I do to fix it? My next plan is to factory reset it and see if that helps at all
Thanks for your help!
I have a Moto G 2014 running cm13. Everything was fine until my pin code stopped working and I was able to unlock my phone with a swipe. However, I'm able to lock the phone only if I touch the lock icon on my lockscreen after which it says " Your device will stay locked until you manually unlock it". My lock button does not lock the phone to a pin code as it did before.
I haven't activated Smart Lock or changed any setting and this kinda seems out of the blue.
Help would be appreciated. Thanks
I am facing the same issue as well, i tried changing roms and flashing kernals but the issue persists, also reboot dosen't help, do let me know if u find a solution.
for now i double tap the power button which opens up the camera and lets me through the lock screen but things go haywire usually around the lower part of the screen.
I have seen multiple other people experiencing this issue on reddit and here on XDA too. What happens is that when I attempt to unlock, there's no icon at the bottom-center of the lockscreen. Sometimes there will be one with an unlocked lock icon, but I'm incapable of swiping to the key-guard or using my fingerprint to unlock the device. During this, the home button has feedback by vibration but nothing happens. A bit later it'll act as if it's catching up and will then unlock automatically. Other times if I push the power button after trying to unlock nothing will happen until after this delay in which would unlock the device (after trying to fingerprint unlock) and then suddenly it acts like I had pressed the power button.
I've tried removing and re-adding the fingerprints. I'd really rather not have to factory reset to see if this fixes the issue. I'm on completely stock rom, not rooted, etc. Completely vanilla.
Any ideas?
Running into the very same issue. Additionally sometimes at the end of phone calls the dialer becomes unresponsive and cannot hit the hang up button. Then the system seems to catch up...
Any help or ideas appreciated.
Phone completely stock, had no similar issues since I purchased it 6 months ago..

Update : Read in a forum that pocket mode may be the culprit. I disabled it under Settings / Advanced. The screen lock issue seems to have disappeared. The dialer issue is also not there any more.
Hope this helps...
