Hi, I've had this issue for a while where apps seem to freeze up after locking and then unlocking the phone. So, for an example, let's say I am using the firefox browser app, and then I turn off the screen with the power button. Wait about 15-30 seconds, and then when I turn the screen back on it will be frozen on whatever I was viewing before.
What's weird is that the app appears to still be active, only the screen acts frozen. I know this because I have figured out that if I tap the recents key, and then tap the app I was just using, it refreshes/unfreezes the app to where I can use it again. I have tried scrolling when the screen is frozen, and when I use the recents key to unfreeze it, it will be further down the page. Sometimes, when the app freezes, the content section will be completely black until I do the refresh trick.
More information:
-If I lock and then unlock the phone immediately, it doesn't get frozen. It's only after about 10 seconds that it does this.
-I am not using a lock screen/password. If I have the option set to 'swipe' or any of the other variants, the problem does not seem to happen.
-I think this behavior may have started after the Android 9 update.
-Other functions on the phone work perfectly fine (I can still access the notification menu etc.)
I just viewed a post called 'frozen screen after waking up screen' that is the exact same issue I am having, but there doesn't appear to have been a solution yet so I'm bringing it back up if that's ok. Thanks for any help.

i am searching for an app that make 100% the same when i push the hardware power button.
i have tried many apps/widgets, most switch to the look-screen and 15 sec later the screen goes off.
I want the phone goes immediately off (no 1,2 or more seconds later)
exact the same as the hardware power off.
Rom is original .906, rooted
And yes, under Settings/Security the "set up screen lock" is set to "none" !
please help!
Are you looking for a widget that will lock the screen without you pressing the power button, or an app that disables the stock lock screen altogether, so that if the screen's off and you hit Power it goes straight to your home screen? Both exist, I've used both and they work for me on the stock ROM.

Power ON without screenlock: have it
Power OFF without lockscreen: i search for it. All apps i tried shows the lock-screen and 15 sec. later the phone goes off. I want the phone off in 0 seconds with an app.
Not sure that's possible. You're basically looking for an app that will instantly sever the link to the battery. It would need to be a rooted app, and it would be very dangerous.

I think I understand what you are looking for.
Are you looking for a way to turn off your phone without unlocking the phone?
If so, you can install a lockscreen replacement app such as Widget Locker. Then, even if your phone is locked, you may hold the power button and it will bring up the option to turn off your phone.

on my moto pro i have this working with an app (works not on the d3) .. root are
no problem ... i need only an good app
On the moto pro the app called: lock and screen off widget (1.0.1)
but on the d3 this app shows the lock-screen ... not off (the screen goes off but the phone only 15 sec. later)
1 app that makes the same as the power button for switch off the phone! (The same !!!)
After a lot of searching the web for this kind of app I've finally this thread and was pretty disappointed that there is no solution to this problem! All the existing apps basically fall into one of the two following categories.
1. "Lock togglers" - apps/widgets that upon starting them enable/disable the lockscreen.
2. "Screen lockers" - apps/widgets that upon starting them turn screen off and lock it regardless if the lock screen is turned of by an app of the (1) category.
What we need here is a app which can turn screen off while respecting lock screen policy.
The quest continues....
I think what you're looking for may be in the aosp cm9. There's a toggle in the notification bar the turns off the screen. Try that out if you're wanting to try a different rom.

I just saw the app Elixir 2 mentioned on AndroidCentral.com today. It looks like this has a screen-off toggle widget.

Phone can be unrooted. You do need a widget add-on and an add-on that gives admin permissions for the screen off toggle.

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.

Under the profiles tab
Press the + icon in the botton right corner
Select State
Select Display
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)
Select New Task +
[Optional] Give it a name
You need to do the following section as many times as you have Acessibility services
***********************************************
Press the + icon in the lower middle screen
Select Plugin
Select Secure Settings
Press the Edit button
Select Accessibility Services
Select a service, and make sure is disabled (by default it will be)
Press the save icon in the lower left
Press back

Repeat the previous section as needed
When you are done creating your task, press the back button
You should be back at your main profile screen.
Long press the green arrow of the task you just created
Select Add Exit Task
Repeat the *********** section but save the accessiblity services as "Is Off" for all your services.
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.....

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.

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.
Can anyone confirm that motion sensors and motion guided commands do not work when you do NOT use Touch Wiz? I am using Nova Launcher and the hand swipe to screenshot does not work.
Also, I tested out the IR Remote control app which worked great but now even after i close the app, on my lock screen, the remote functions are still there.

It hasn't gone away since last night. I closed out, closed process etc, still just hangs around the lock screen. When i press the channel/volume buttons from the lock screen, the blue light shines showing that it is currently activated and on. I believe this is a possible bug. I'm worried it's draining my battery as well. Please help.
Bonus help: how do you change the background on the lock screen?

On the S4 there's a setting within the app where you can disable the lock screen and notification panel settings. You'd think that they should still be there on the S5. Open the app, go to the menu and check the settings there.

Yeah, that drove me nuts too when I first used the feature on my S4.....Hopefully getting the S5 and Gear Neo this weekend.
Swipe to screenshot works fine for me with Next Launcher 3D.

i figure swipe to capture out, your hand had to actually glide ON the screen. This whole time I thought it was an air motion that the sensors on the front caught. it isn't that at all but based on the hand touching the actual glass. I guess this is what happens for first time Samsung users... mods feel free to delete this thread.
SOLVED! I had the same issue (swipe screen grab not working) and tried everything with my Galaxy S6 after I installed Marshmallow and also Nova launcher for first time. Not sure which one caused it... Anyway, after going through a million "fixes" that didn't work, this one finally did!
- Go to your phone dialer and dial: *#2663#
- That will bring up a developer menu. Once you're in the menu press the button titled "TSP FW Update (General)". Let it got through the update (just a few seconds) and viola!!! You're swipe screen grab or any other touch screen weirdness work perfectly again!
Thanks . Solved even S pen problem on screen capture
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
Hi friends. Just got this wonderful device and decided to unlock it.
After unlocking I'm not sure if it's me but there seems to be a delay in touching an icon and it activating. For example, I press the app drawer icon from Nova Launcher and it takes about a 0.5 second delay before it actually triggers and opens. Am I simply noticing a delay which was always there? The delay is also present when inputting the pin in the lock screen.
Also I am now unable to activate the mini screen feature that normally activates when I swipe to the soft nav buttons.
So two problems I've noticed since unlocking the bootloader. Will greatly appreciate any help. Thanks!
Update: OK the delay somehow disappeared. Response is pretty snappy right now. All I did was uninstall and install new apps
Update2: OK what; even the mini screen swiping on nav bar gesture works again. Not sure what happened but all issues have been resolved
