Hi all,
I have VPN configured on my N7, and every time the device wakes up form sleep or resets it asks me for a code (password/pattern).
I try to get rid of the screen lock with No Lock app, it just made it worse (every time I open an app it asks me for a code).
Is there any way to get rid of this function ?
Thanks
No-lock works fine for me. Mine is rooted, though. Yours?

My N7 is rooted. At first No Lock worked fine, but after a while it got crazy, and made the screen lock to appear every time I opened an app.

What am I doin wrong ? Time out is set at 15 sec.
EDIT: Solved by using different SMS app. Email app works fine
nope.....email works, sms works, not missed call keeps phone awake all the time....
am i the only one ?
I had this problem... Had to reboot the phone.
I have noticed times when my screen was on. When I tried to determine why it seemed that I had received a mms over two minutes prior. My screen timeout is thirty seconds. I have since rebooted and will see if it makes a difference.

I've rebooted numerous times since I've gotten the phone. I prefer the stock messaging app and don't want to *have to* use something else to make it work right.
Any other ideas?
Looks like this is one of the bugs on the phone.....
Thank god all bugs are software related so far. With nexus it wad mostly hardware/software things
I think I figured it out (at least for me)...
I disabled the "puzzle lock" thinking it would be a pain in the neck when trying to unlock the screen. Come to find out, disabling it is what is leaving the display on when receiving a text. Enabled the puzzle lock, and the display comes on for a sec or two and then shuts off when I get a message.
I prefer very few steps to get where I wanna go. I don't like passwords or codes when unlocking my screen so I disabled it. Either way, though, I have swype the screen to unlock it so it's not a big deal to have the puzzle lock on...
Am I the only one who has been having issues with the lock screen locking up on unlock? had this issue before I rooted am still having this issue.
Find i have to relock (power button) a few times before it starts to work!
Haven't had this problem. It has been smooth since stock. I find it weird that you had the issue before rooting.
Do you have any custom kernels? Any homescreen widgets? Does it happen consistently?
Nope, none, no stock widgets or anything like that, about as stock as you can get.
Happens once every 10 unlocks i would say, might have to send it back!
I can confirm this issue
Face unlock is on with pattern unlock as backup
Whenever face unlock fails I try to enter pattern....pattern does not work
Phone doesn't even show pattern(like its not accepting touch input and I do have it set to "show pattern" )
Slide up to Google Now when unlock pattern screen appear and you get new unlock pattern screen.....entering pattern here works
I suspect it is related to face unlock....when face unlock fails it never locks for touch input
This error occurs 70% of the time not always

I have removed root etc done a fresh wipe and still have the unlock lag issue l, i don't use face unlock. going to try and get a swap from o2 today.
Used to have this problem when using autobrightness
Mine has hung a few times on the lockscreen and each and every time it has, Auto brightness has took a dump.
I don't recall it doing it more than one per reboot though, I'll have to monitor that.

Yes I have this exact issue and posted on it about a week ago in the Q&A forum.
I push the power button and I cannot drag the slide unlock. If I wait 10 seconds it sometimes unfreezes and lets me. I have to cycle the power button until it finally lets me slide unlock.
I've completely wiped the device and that has had no benefit.
What apps do you have installed? I've wondered if it's an app.
I use Words with Friends, IMDB, Reddit is Fun, Tapatalk, and Google News & Weather widget. I'm going to try disabling auto brightness to see if that fixes as suggested above.

Ended up getting a new N4 from o2, no longer have the issue, same apps installed must of been some random hardware issue!
Been having this issue, so annoying .

I believe that this is a known very occasional intermittent 4.2/4.2.1 android issue, I have had it a couple of times myself in the last fortnight.

This happens to me all the time. Super annoying! I don't use auto brightness and it happens with any lock I use, slide, pattern, pin. Should I contact Google?
I'm 100% percent stock, not even rooted.

I have also been experiencing this, really is infuriating not being able to unlock your own phone sometimes... Usually cycling the screen on and off a few times seems to work.
I ended up ripping off my brand new BestSkinsEver thinking it might have been the cause!
Same here. In my case, i am using PIN and sometimes it lags out while trying to enter my pin and i have to press power button to lock it and try again.

I have the same problem, and I think i have found a way to replicate the issue.
1. Turn off the screen.
2. Wait around 5 seconds.
3. Put three fingers on the screen at the same time.
4. And without moving the fingers turn on the screen.
At this time the touchscreen doesn't respond or it has some kind of lag and you have to reunlock the screen to make it work again.
Can anyone test this?
Sorry for my english.

This way the lock screen is unresponsive but I feel that it is not the same issue.
The lag I usually experience with the bug is more like the phone doesn't wake up properly and can't handle the input in (real) time
PS. I had this on my 8 GB model (sold) and 16 GB model
I thought I read that you can set favorite or home wifi networks and when the phone is connected to one of those networks the pin lock would disable itself.
Anybody else read that somewhere? Do you know where the setting is?
THANKS!
i thought this had happened to me, i did not know what to do so i selected the option to lock screen if i press the power button or the standby timeout then i did not see the pin lock bypass anymore...
It was removed from the firmware. It was decided that security outweighed convenience

There are apps on the Play Store. You connect to wifi. Type passcode once then you dont have to.

Is there a way to unlock the phone right away by using imprint? Mine keeps asking for pin or pattern after it recognizes the fingerprints

Are you using a double tap to turn off app for your screen? They interfere with it.

Is this happening every single time you use your fingerprint or only after a boot/reboot? It should only occur once after each time the phone has booted up.

Yup pretty much every time and no I haven't rebooted yet.

Same problem here. Sometimes it asks for the passcode after the fingerprint. Sometimes on bottom of the screen the print sensor icon is replaced by a lock. I just had another bug where I was on chrome browsing a website and the lockscreen appeared by itself.
EDIT: I uninstalled this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.qihoo.security&hl=fr and it seems to not happen again for the moment. (I also tried to disable lockscreen security, then enable it again, registering my fingers again but it didn't solved it)
EDIT2: Oops it did it again.
Go to Security-> Device Administrator and untick all the apps. Lock your phone with power button. Now, try fingerprint.
Probably one of the apps there is misbehaving.

Same thing kept happening to me, I realised that its because I used a screen lock widget on my home screen to lock the screen. It didnt work when i did that. But if i use the power button to turn screen off, it goes back to the normal imprint mode.
somethimes when I put my finger on the scanner instead of unlock it it ask for the pattern password and sometimes it works well.
(when I try with finger that isn't in the system its vibrate and do nothing so from this I figure that it does recognize my finger when I use the right one and it open the pattern)
what can I do
Edit:i found the problem I was used an app names screen lock that make this problem if someone have the same problem check if u use an app that have connection with the lock screen you can check this is settings security
It asks for the pattern on the first fingerprint unlock after a reboot. Could it be your case?
Inviato dal mio Nexus 6P utilizzando Tapatalk
It will do this when you first restart your phone.
Happens on every reboot, as @lomax79 and @geoff5093 said. I have also had it occasionally ask for my password for "extra protection".
do you have a lock screen replacement or perhaps you are using a launcher that has lockscreen settings enabled?
if so, that is likely the 'issue'. Try disabling it/them.
I occasionally get the password screen after attempting to unlock with a fingerprint. This is not after a reboot, just random times throughout the day. At first I thought it was random reboots while in my pocket, but the uptime clock has not been reset.
I've been getting this from day one and it seems to have good times and bad times regarding g how often it happens I could understand it happening if I was buying something.
Oh and it seems to happen more if I shut the phone down with Tap screen but if I put phone down and let it power down on its own it won't ask for password on next restart, bugs me a bit.hope Google can polish it up a bit.

It's not happen just after reboot it happen sometimes per day
It's possible your phone has been constantly rebooting. The only time it will ask for your pin or password is when you first boot up the device as an extra security layer. I've RMA'd my current device for that reason as well. Expecting a new one Monday. If the problem keeps happening I'd recommend RMA'ing
found the problem
How you solve ?
