This is incredibly annoying.
I have the latest update on my Galaxy S6. Sometimes (actually, many times), whenever I press my lock button, the screen will flash, then do the locking animation.
Is there any workaround with this?
Bump. Still waiting for a response.
What do you mean it flashes?

The screen flashes before the locking animation.
No other way to simplify it.
Have you set your lock button up to do anything else, like take a screen shot? Sounds as though you have two actions bound to the same button. AoN

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?

It goes to a black screen after unlocking I can see the background with the time. However once it unlocks I only have the normal back buttons and notification drawer.
Ideas on what to do? seems i'm kinda hosed
Side loading the firmware back to 5.3.1

Appears the last statement is an edit so the issue may be resolved by the time you see this. If not did you try long pressing the power button (up to 30 sec) until it shuts off and then restarting?
Whenever I disconnect/reject a call on my Nexus 6 the phone screen doesn't respond!
I can lock the phone and use the screen swipe up to unlock it, but after unlocking it screen doesn't respond.
If I hold the power button and touch on power off or power on, it works, the phone powers off/restarts!
When unlocked, the nav buttons work. But the part above the nav bar buttons doesn't work. It however, works for the above mentioned cases
It's very irritating yet funny how it isn't responding.
Is the system frozen?
No, lock and unlock works, on screen nav buttons work, restart and power off menu works!
Is the touch screen not responding?
Nope! Consider the same answer as above
Can anyone help me with this issue please?
PS: Only started facing the issue after updating to Android 7.1.1 (Yes, I did manual OTA install)

Reinstalled the same image and rooted the phone! Issue resolved
Has anyone encountered a frozen screen?
Use the touch screen to malfunction. You can only press the power button again to lock the screen and unlock it:crying:.

None as I'm concerned. You should get it replaced. Although it maybe something cause by static. Turn it off for 3o minutes or so and only use the provided cable. Give it a try.

I have the same issue, I think is not a frozen screen, its the touch, try pressing volume keys and you will see that works. It happens several times at day, curiously that started after a Factory Reset, before never happened

Nice to hear it, please comment if the issue occur again. Regards.
This issue has been driving me mad for the past couple weeks. I'm at my wits' end and I need some expert help to figure this out. Please read this post thoroughly to understand my situation, as this is not a simple matter of uninstalling some apps.
When I first got my Note 9, the screen lock button worked perfectly. The screen would immediately turn on when I pressed the button, and it would immediately turn off when I pressed it again. However, once I got the Android Pie update, the screen lock button stopped working properly. The screen still turns on immediately, but there's about a 0.5 second delay after I press the button to turn it off. It's a relatively small issue, but it's enough to bother me.
I attempted to fix this by performing a system reset. But this did not help. In fact, this issue is still present even before completing initial setup of the phone.
When you perform a system reset, the first screen you see when your phone restarts is the welcome screen. It contains a "start" button that you press to begin setup. On this screen, the lock button issue does not happen. My phone locks and unlocks correctly. On the next screen, you connect to a wifi network. After connecting to a wifi network, the lock button issue becomes present. In other words, this issue with the lock button is present before I even start using the OS, or install any apps, or really do anything at all. It seems to be triggered by connecting to a wifi network during setup.
So I figured there must be something wrong with the firmware. So I used Odin to flash an earlier firmware version. This did not solve the issue. I even tried installing an unlocked firmware version, on the offchance that my carrier (AT&T) was doing something weird. This did not help either.
I have no idea where to go from here. I thought that a system reset is supposed to completely wipe everything from your phone, so that it behaves exactly how it did when I first got it. But that's not the case. It seems like something is carrying over that's causing this issue. Does anybody have any idea what I should do?
Do you have lock instantly with power key on?

It is probably the double tap power button to open camera feature. You can toggle it off and locking will be instant.
If its already off, there my be an accessibility service listening key presses.

This delay issue is so silly but it annoys the hell out of me. Where did you turn off this feature in Pie?
Update: Found it. Just use the search box in settings and type in "camera" (or whatever it is in your language). The "double tap power" setting will get listed.
Thanks alot,
Watz
I even turned off the double press for camera app but I'm still noticing a 0.5 sec lag when i press the side key
I even restarted after changing the setting
Nothing is happening
Please help
