It has happened to me like 5 or 6 times now. No idea how I initiate it, but I'd love to know so I can use it.
I'll just drag my finger along the screen and suddenly this line starts appearing under it. If I make circle or whatever, it does a screenshot of just what is inside the shape I've drawn.
It is annoying when it happens unexpectedly but it is also something I want to be able to use.

If you use your knuckle you can make a screen dump wherever you want

Thanks! That's it. Apparently the phone just thinks my fingertip is a knuckle sometimes

My phone does that sometimes too, I did see it the same way you did. A blue line when I draw my finger across the screen. I tested my knuckle and realised it was a function [emoji16]

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.
The screen is turning on when i lift my phone up from the table.
When i for example put my phone on a table, the screen is turning of about 30 second, when i pic my phone up the screen turning on automatic whitout any touch on a botton. Should it was like that?

display on the table or back (camera) on the table
I'll explain my question: although I'm assuming it shouldn't work that way (at least by default), if you have the display facing down, it might be waking because of the proximity sensor. As you lift the mobile from the table, it behaves the same as if you were moving it away from your face after a call, and wake the screen up.
Actually, this would be a nifty feature for many people, specially now, with JB lacking a way to use the capacitive buttons as notifications. Considering they probably lift the phone a few dozen times a day to check their messages/missing calls/emails and only a couple times to actually put it somewhere else (and even then they probably check the missing calls again), it would save them some time

I search for that on the "Store" but a few came up...
Maybe is a app feature, don't know.
What I know (in stock) is that if you set the screen to lock, after get locked and screen OFF, only power button is able to wake up the screen
allowing the slide to unlock.
mine comes on sometimes too,soon goes back off, dont bother me too much
After the update to Jelly Bean, my Display always gets activated for a few seconds when I receive a Message.
Is there anything I can do against this?
Or am I the only one with this "Problem"?

I have the Gear Live and the Home Time Screen doesn't stay on long enough... just a few seconds.
How can I get it to stay on longer, like say a minute?

You can change the screens timeout in the settings on your watch. Just click on screen in the settings menu.

Just noticed, the blue light filter takes a few seconds or more to engage after screen is brought back from standby mode. Pretty irritating.
Example viewing a page within Samsung browser, screen times out ( has to time out )then I press the home button to turn screen back on, blue light filter is off now for a good few seconds or unless I go into the settings screen.

I thought it was just me. I looked around to see if anyone else was having it in other threads but I'm glad I'm not the only one having this issue. Mine is really delayed that I need to turn it off and turn it back on. Sometimes I wait over a minute til it activates so I just end up having to toggle it off and on since it's faster... Unfortunately

Google books issue?
Hi Everyone,
I have had my Note 9 for a month and I really love it. I never intended to upgrade from my Note 8 but while in the store for my fiancé's phone I found out I could upgrade for $2.00 more a month. Sure, what the heck! Long story short, I really like the phone but there is one thing I cannot seem to do that I could with the 8.
I have my phone set up with custom notification tones. With my Note 8 I was able to silence the notification tone in mid ring but hitting the volume button. This doesn't seem to work with the Note 9 so I will be in the elevator for example, and the notification goes off. I can't silence it and have to try and bury the speaker in my hand to quiet it.
Any ideas, suggestions, thoughts, or opinions are greatly appreciated. Thank you all for the time and have a great day!
Respectfully,
George D.
Sounds like you have some long 10-15 second notification sound. My greatest pet peeve. Why not just use the standard length sounds that are a couple seconds long? Those long ones that go on and on and on, are annoying.
Simply turn your phone face down. Face down motion, even without it resting on an actual surface.

Doesn't the power button silence notifications? Haven't tried it on this one but give it a shot?
Same happened to me coming from a note 8, its annoying. Try going to settings > accesibility>and turn on single tap mode.
