Hello all,
Was wondering if anyone is having the same issue as I am. My lock screen doesn't seem to actually lock the phone.. i.e. if you press an app without sliding it up, it just opens. The lock icon, however, is still displayed. My lock screen style is set to productivity, and that still all works, and I have no security set up. It's worth noting that it was working with no issues up until a day ago, and nothing has changed :/
For further clarification:
By not working, I mean that before I used to have to slide the tab up, or to launch an app I would have to drag it up, but now that doesn't work.
Here's a video showing what I mean:

This just started happening to my AT&T HTC One tonight! I found this post by doing a search to see if anyone else had experienced this same issue on their One.
Also I can no longer drag the icons at the bottom of my lockscreen up to get into that particular app. And pressing anywhere on the lockscreen seems to unlock the phone and take me to the desktop.
I'm using the "music lockscreen" style, fyi.

I just figured out what was causing it on mine... I actually received my Pebble smartwatch in the mail today and had installed the Pebble Android app onto my One. This also required going into the Settings on my One and enabling Accessibility for the Pebble and Pebble Notifier and these 2 accessibility settings were what was causing the lockscreen to behave this way.
Don't see anyway to get around it so far...

Wow aha actually I did install the pebble app just before it started happening.. I wonder if it's a problem on pebble's side or htc... good catch though!
Yeah, not sure of that either. I just wondered and posted about this myself in another XDA thread I found on this very same topic:

I have got this on my HTC one, I have come from an iphone and wanted to have the screen turn on when any emails are received. These show up on the lockscreen so when I'm driving if I get an email the screen turns on.
I can use several apps to do this but they all require to be enabled in Accessibility, if I do that the lockscreen unlocks when its touched anywhere as mentioned earlier without swiping. If I disable the accessibility setting its all back to normal but the app doesnt work....ie. the screen doesn't come on.
Any one figured this out yet?

I found a work around for it. It requires root access, Tasker and Secure Settings.
What I did was create a Context that is activated when the display is on and then using Secure Settings, disable all Accessibility for all events. As an exit task, I re-enable all my accessibility apps.
Now when i turn on my display, I actually have to slide to unlock.

Select Display State
Change "Is Off" to "Is On"
Press the back button
You should have a popup of available Tasks (if you have any)

You need to do the following section as many times as you have Acessibility services
***********************************************
Press the + icon in the lower middle screen

Tasker has a bit of a learning curve, and hopefully this will get you started.

Thanks for the write up its really appreciated. I'll give it a go.....
M.
Efox29. That works very well.. Thanks again for the advice.
I've got this set up as well but for me it is extremely hit and miss. Nearly 50% of the time I still get the single touch unlock and the other half of the time tasker works perfectly. The only thing I can think of is that my pin unlock causes a problem but why only half the time.
Anyone else have this problem?
I suppose I should be happy my problem has been cut in half but I wish it was completely consistent.

It's not ideal but works ok, for me it's better than nothing.
M.
Actually having used this tasker solution for a few days now it works about 75% of the time and seems more reliable if the screen has been off for a while vs reactivating the screen very soon after turning off. Still sometimes I get the one touch unlock after the screen being locked for hours. On the whole the accessibility problem still really annoys me but I agree this solution is better than nothing and so far I haven't had any more accidental call answers.

has anyone noticed that another issue with this accessibility bug is that the screen will flicker or flash black for a split second after unlocking? again, this only happens after you turn on accessibility for an app.

A friend of mine got a problem with his HTC One M7. His problem is, that when he tries to pull down the navigator bar or status bar (however you will call it ) it doesn't work. All notifications are shown in the status bar, also battery, clock etc. If he tries to open the bar, to get to the notifications or the quick toggles, he can't do that, the screen just don't react!
This happened since the last update of android (I thinke he's running 4.4.3 or 4.4.4). Before everything worked perfect.
The curious thing is, when he put his phone into landscape mode, he can gain access to the notifications and everything!?! But in normal mode not, very confusing...
Someone having the same issue? Or did someone solve this problem?
I really appreciate your help. Thanks mates

Sounds like a hardware issue with the top part of the screen.

In landscape mode everything works, and it happened after a software update. The screen reacts if you go to landscape mode and touch the screen (in a game or youtube)

Just because part of the screen works doesn't mean the whole screen works. To test it out you could enable touch points in developer settings and see if it is reg the touch. Or you could do a full wipe and flash of the stock software.

The problem isn't the notification bar itself but the top of the screen in portrait mode which is needed to detect a touch to activate the notification pull down. It must be a hardware problem. A relative of mine has the same issue, however on his it sometimes wants to work sometimes it doesn't. Try the HTC diagnostic menu, open the dialer and type *#*#3424#*#*
Then use the line drawing test and try to draw a line in the upper part of his phone. You may find that where the notification bar would be no line can be drawn there... If that's the case then it most likely is a faulty digitizer.
To test it further try going to the Play Store in landscape mode and try a swipe from the left it normally shows the hidden menu from the left in the Play Store. Like my relative you may find that the menu only shows when you swipe in from portrait mode and not in landscape.

Will try it out and give you a reply soon ! Thanks

i have the same problem but i have solve it by using next launcher or u can use any other launcher. i am using it until there r some permanent solutions
does anyone know how to turn off this annoying pop up whenever i double press home button to use camera?
and screen over ray disable when i install new apps.
yeah its really annoying!
No but if you do let me know.
Whats the point of quick launching the camera if you have to dismiss that before snapping a pix
I have no pop up message, when double clicking home button, goes straight to camera and it should be some setting you made, because I haven't played much with settings, so mostly factory settings and don't have it. I also haven't seen overlay disable message either and I installed plenty of programs. I got once warning, something wouldn't run (can't remember what) if I don't disable overlay, it's probably some Google protection, so I don't give unwanted permission to program hiding under screen overlay. Personally I think it's all nonsense, after a while people will click OK without even reading the message or not fully understand the message. Probably another setting in security somewhere. Sorry I can't pinpoint exact issue to fix it.
I used to get the Screen overlay warning whenever I was updating permissions AND I had a floating app like Hover Note or Hover Browser floating anywhere on the screen.
The only other time I got it if I didn't have those up was when I had Twilight installed to reduce blue light from my phone. I had to pause it in order to get that Screen relay alert to stop showing up then.
I never get that message and double press home to get the camera all the time
Does anyone know what this is? Can't seem to find what it does?
It excludes the app from being closed if you hit the close all button.

When I hit the close all button it disappears though. I've been thinking about ODINing pie to my phone. I OTA updated and then factory reset. Stuff doesn't seem right, like my alarm screen doesn't have the increasing ringtone option anymore either... Any thoughts? Does yours stay in the recents?

From what I was able to research, the gradual volume increase is missing from the Samsung Clock app. There appears to be different settings for each category on the vertical 3 dot menu. I have seen suggestions to install the Google clock app but YMMV.
I just tried again with locking the app and it does stay when I hit close all. When I check the recents afterward, the only app that appears is the one I locked with the lock symbol in the bottom right corner.
Another friendly question. Do you have any idea why the pen doesn't work with some apps? I've noticed 2 for sure. One is free the other was paid. Evolution of Species 2 and Excapist 2. Neither will work with the pen remote settings on or off. I figured the pen would produced the same affect as the finger...
Best I can gather is that some apps are coded specifically for touch input. If I'm understanding correctly, the pen is considered direct input which is different than touch. I found an old Reddit thread that might explain it better...
https://www.reddit.com/r/galaxynote4/comments/2wk9lk/why_doesnt_the_spen_work_with_somegames/
About setting for volume increase in clock app. That setting has been removed and that auto increase is now done automatically.
I checked with Samsung about it and they confirmed that setting was removed and that volume auto increases as default now. In android pie
Thought I'd start this up for anyone having issues. So far:
I've had the UI hang while trying to swipe up to go home.
I had the navigation bar become stuck in the middle of the screen.
The screen recorder doesn't work properly. Records audio but video only shows a background image that not on the screen. After I drop recording the status bar on top disappears in the home screen.
Anyone else having this issues or other issues?
Keyboard won't open using chat bubble on messages app
My only issue had been trying to trigger the back gesture or menu from the left side which could be a result of the new screen protector I put on, or just Google's garbage gesture implementation.

interesting... I'm having issues with Gboard not opening up at all most of the time with chat bubbles disabled. only sure way for me to get the keyboard back is to lock the device, bring up the keyboard trying to unlock and then the keyboard will show up in the current app.
I tried rooting using the latest magisk and phone does not boot past the bootloader. using 7.5.1 of Magisk.
The screenshot button is greyed out when using 3-button navigation. Works with gesture navigation.
This is all that records. *Edit*Nevermind doesn't upload

UI is not hanging for me but it keeps forgetting that I have Action Launcher as my default and kicking me back to Pixel Launcher when I swipe up to go home. It remembers after a reboot.

I don't have the option to bubble chat( don't see the icon on the notification bar) is activated for all chats but is not working for me.
Bubbles open for me, but 1) the nav bar for some reason shows up at the bottom of the pop up, and 2) it hangs, and doesn't allow interaction. As well, if auto-rotate is off, the nav bar will not always follow rotation, at times getting stuck on the bottom of the device, as well as constantly being visible, even on the always on display.
When I restart the phone I get a new voicemail notification every time even though I don't have any. This has happened on the BETA too

I performed a clean install from August Android 10 to September Android 11 update and I have not been able to get my face unlock to work. Anyone else having this issue. If so have you been able to find a fix for it.
