The first thing i noticed from moving to the Droid 3 from my previous phone (Nokia N900), is that it doesn't unlock the screen when sliding the keyboard open.
So when i slide open my keyboard, i still have to do the 'slide to unlock' manually. This is not very natural to me, but if that's what Motorola decided, what can i do about it?
Is there some sort of tweak or mod possible for this, or is this something that cannot be changed? When i googled it, most topics are bout the Milestone series phones (this is the only qwerty android phone that behaves like this?). They suggested the software signal for 'slide keyboard open' is the same as 'press the screen on button', so if you want to disable the unlock menu here, it has to be disabled altogether.
Is this true?
I also come from a N900, I found the exact same thing frustrating, there is an app which disables lock-screens all together so you can also immediately unlock by pressing the power button.
App called "No Lock"
It does seem the case, yes, however there is an app which only turns lock screens off when the front proximity sensor is clear, so theoretically it shouldn't power button unlock when it is in your pocket - this is a paid app with a trial version.
App called "Auto Unlock"
If you're willing to pay for an app, check out widget locker on sale at Amazon. It has that option as well as some nifty extra features. I'm at the point now where my phone is more useful locked than unlocked lol

I don't think the keyboard opening sends the same signal as the power button.
When you press the power button the lock screen comes on in portrait regardless of how you are holding the phone. When you open the keyboard the lock screen comes on in landscape. So the phone knows the difference between the two.
BUMP
Is there any free app that will do this?
I'd like it to unlock when sliding open and to lock when i close it... but still be able to lock/unlock with the power button when I'm not using the keyboard
Thanks

I had an n900 too previously, but also an Xperia Mini pro and a desire Z, only the Motorola phones are showing that stupid behavior.
BTW as I wrote elsewhere, widgetlocker can fix this, but is not free.

yes, this.
I can't believe there's not a simple free app that fixes it. I don't mind spending €1,50 but I'd rather not
Can you keep the stock unlocker with widgetlocker?
how does widget locker fix this? i have it but dont see anyway to unlock the screen by opening the keyboard.

I just bought it and enabled "slide to unlock" but it doesn't work
I restarted my phone and it works 1 in 10 times.. and when it does work there's a 2 seconds delay..(edit make that 5 seconds this is with the screen off)
I even root mode and tried disable the default lock screen.
I think I just wasted €1.50
You must have some conflicting SW, I'm using it on the D3 and the D2g and works perfectly, used it on the Desire Z and worked perfectly too.
And consider that I have heavily customized it with 6 sliders to access directly the main functions w/o unlocking the phone.

I haven't installed any other locking software!
It works fine if I first click button so the screen goes on, then slide-out.
However when I slide from screen-off it takes 5 seconds for the screen to go on. (btw sometimes it does go instantly, but this is rare)
It takes a longer time only if you close and reopen it quickly.
Try to close the phone, wait five or six seconds and then open it.
That limit is described well on the SW instructions, and theres also a 5 seconds fix on the options (I havent tried it)

Yes but root option should fix it but it does not.
Why the hell would anyone use the slider option if it takes 5 seconds to show the screen? I wanted this program so that I don't have to press a button before unlocking... now I still have to do that
Waiting some time then opening it doesn't help

Why in the hell, in the normal usage, one would open the slider in less than 5 second after closing it ?

What? where did I say I did this?
When I get my phone out of my pocket (screen is off) and I open my keyboard, it takes 5 seconds for something to happen.

I said that. If you close and reopen the phone quickly you can expect a delay, but not in normal condition.
I've just tested it with the verizon rom (I flashed it back to test the cyanogen), and while slower than the xt883 (all the rom is slower) surely doesn't take 5 seconds to unlock the screen.
I have an issue where even if disable screen rotate, all apps still rotate. Anyone know what's going on and how I can fix this?
No problem here. Tried with Facebook, YouTube and Tapatalk and all are locked or rotate depending on what the settings are
Make sure your device isn't charging, that will enable rotation.

Thanks. That was the case.
hi, i'm having a issue with the proximity sensor. Sometimes when i answer calls, the screen stays black even if i press the lock button, sometimes i can't even answer because i can't turn on the screen. Once it had the problem, if i open an app to test the proxymity sensor it tells me that the screen in always covered. If i reboot the phone everything goes back to normal, until the next time it decides to malfunction. I don't use any screen protector and i had this problem with resurrection remix rom and CM 13 snapshot... Anybody had the same issue? Or knows how to fix it? the thing that is driving me insane is that it does this only sometimes, at random...
There's a fix to this. Go to accessibility settings and tick power button to end call. Then reboot. And then untick it. Itll be solved after it. Had the same in my nexus 6 too.

I had same problem on my phone. I discovered Proximity Sensor Reset through another XDA post which fixed the problem for me. Google Play Store, it is simple and has remained effective through reboots and ROM updates. Maybe it will resolve for you and others too.

I purchased new A71, it's screen gets on by itself after every one or 2 minute. I checked simply whatever possible. Any ideas?
Never had this issue but did you try tweaking AOD settings?

Already,,, no use.
Now safe mode tried and no screen wakeup.
It means some third party app issue.
I'm trying to figure out which app exactly.
I had this with my wife's phone.... Screen literally cam on everytime the phone was moved.... She has a flip case, which i assumed was the culprit, and i could see the screen pop on even if she moved the phone to one side a little...
I found the answer to our solution in the settings somewhere under advanced features/motion and gestures.... Untick all that lift to wake crap!
Screen stays off now until you press power button or double tap screen...

I tried the same already but problem was still there.
Since once I reboot into safe mode, there w no issue. then started apps one by one in normal mode,,,, now not facing issue. I suspect one or two third party apps. Still not finalised which app exactly as these apps got updated meanwhile.
Any way thanks,,,,
my issue already resolved.
Hey there guys,
There is a bug with android 11 on my Xperia 1 II. I have tried to reset my phone and wipe everything. That fixed the problem for a moment, and then it came back. AOD doesn't work, and when that occurs the flashlight doesnt stay on when I lock the screen, and beside that, when all this happens the volume adjusting makes the phone vibrate which is weird.
Am I the only one with this?
AOD freezes for me and I have to open and close my window case for the time to update

I changed the AOD to smart mode, and it seems to be working okay now.

But now it only shows the screen when you pick up the phone. I want it to be on all the time. I am used to just look at the phone when it is charging or near the bed so I can see the time without doing anything. Now I have to open and close the smart view case in order to show the lockscreen and update the time.
