Hello, as I said in the thread title i have a problem with the screen lock after waking up the phone. It remains stuck, until i push the power button again to close the screen, and then it's working like it should. The problem appears one at 6 or 7 times i wake the phone.
I have tried to change the screen lock method, but i get the same problem, with the pattern activated.
I have also changed two roms, so I guess this is not the issue. It is more likely that an app is the cause of this, but i have the same apps as I had on my Galaxy Nexus, so it is difficult to figure out what is the app causing this. I have paranoid android with franco kernel.
Does anyone have a clue about what the problem could be?

Hi,
Please tell me if I have well understand :
When your phone is in standby mode (screen off) and you push power button, the screen lock appear but you can't unlock it ?
That mean the screen doesn't respond some time (1 to 6-7) after wake-up the phone ?
I don't know why but I want to ask you if you have under-volted your phone ?

Hi, you have understand well, that is the problem i am facing. It becomes unresponsive quite often.
No, i did not change anything regarding the cpu, nor the settings in franco kernel.

That's strange, I have the same settings as you (PA + Franco) without any problems.
I know that Franco's Kernels are great but this is the way that I should follow to try to found the problem.
Do a full wipe and re-install PA + PA Gapp.
Don't install Franco Kernel right now and do the test with PA stock kernel.
If the test is OK, the problem come from Franco's kernel -> ask in Franco's thread
If the problem is still there -> ask in PA thread
You haven't any other problem with your touch screen ? Only with the lock screen ?

Thank you, i will try the stock kernel, as I only tried franco's.
Nop, no other problem with the screen, only this one with the lock screen, and it is becoming annoying

Hmmm, that is highly unlikely, as PA is the second rom i have tried, with rasbelly i had the same problem.
I am now trying the stock kernel.

I have flashed the stock kernel, for a while it seemed to work better, but 5 minutes ago the screen lock remained stuck again.
I have made a full wipe for the instalation of PA coming from rasbelly, one week ago, still the same problem. As I said, i am almost sure that the problem is caused by an app, but it is quite difficult to see which app is causing this....
screen unlock
Hey I had a similar problem. Do you have Lightflow installed? When I had stock everything, enabling additional LEDs including the LCD backlight had no issues. But apparently with PA and Franco kernel it switches off backlight when you unlock screen. Light flow switches it off. Try disabling that control of LCD backlight maybe? That worked for me
I've had this issue with lag on the Nexus 4 lockscreen for quite a while.
The problem is that occasionally when I go to the unlock the phone, I press the lock, but the lock will freeze. Sometimes I have to turn the screen off, and turn back on a couple of times before I can unlock the phone.
I've had this issue running CM10.1 and stock rooted android 4.2.2. I've tried doing a complete wipe and re-flashing everything.
Has anyone else had this issue? I've asked a couple of people I know who have Nexus 4's and none of them have had this problem.
Did I do something wrong, is this a common issue, or this an issue with my phone?

I also get this occasionally from time to time. I honestly have no clue what it could be, since the screen is completely dry as are my fingers when it happens. Its a minor bug so it doesn't bother me that much

I also sometimes get lag when I do manage to unlock, scrolling through my screens is very laggy for 5-10 seconds, then it is usually fine.
I have a problem with lockscreen lag on a phone with a quadcore CPU and 2 GB of RAM.
Flash a custom kernel. You'll be less likely to experience lag
Don't get any lockscreen lag on my stock Android.

Trying this out now. I especially liked how it told me my system was corrupted once it finished flashing...
First thing I've noticed is that the colour is a lot different. Do I need to play with any settings, or do I only need to have the kernel installed?
Also how often do updates come out?
Messing with the settings is totally up to you. It works great "right out of the box." I don't like the stock color settings, I use trickster mod to change them to rgb 255, 255, 255 and everything else at 0 except saturation and blacks all the way up. This kernel is underclocked to 1026mhz by default, I set it to stock clock speeds. It's also undervolted by default so if you are having stability problems, try bumping up the voltage on all steps by 25mv. Updates come out pretty often, prolly a few times a month.

The colours bothered me so I'm trying the latest franco nightly. It seems to be at the stock clock speed, no weird colours, and it makes the haptic feedback when unlocking feel more like the GNex.
I'm still having this issue with franco kernel. I've been looking around a bit and people seem to say this is related to auto brightness. I'm going to turn auto brightness off for a bit and see if it still happens.
Also, does anyone know if using a 3rd party app for auto brightness would make any difference?
Okay, turns out auto brightness wasn't the issue. Still getting lockscreen lag. Help please.
If I put 5 fingers on the screen (when the screen is off), then press the lock button, when the screen comes on it will be completely unresponsive, some of the time. I'm not always able to replicate this.
for me, some releases of Franco have lockscreen lag, some don`t, try flashing the M2 or other post r121 builds, they are all great performers and maybe you`ll get lucky with one.
if ur using paranoid android, then its a stability issue i guesa cause the same thing used to happen with me...... or else try franco kernel... or update franco kernel if ur using franco, cause an older version had the lockscreen bug, which is now fixed!!!

I'm running CM 10.1 and the latest version of franco's kernel.
I've tried using a rooted stock and I had the same issue with lag.
I'm going to try franco's milestone build, see if I still get issues.
Would increasing the minimum clock likely help at all?

I'm thinking this may have been the issue.
How does the replacement process work?
If I save a nandroid backup of my phone, can I just unlock it and restore from there?
Flash the reset kernel from _motley 's kernel thread, it replaces a lot of files that might of got changed via various other kernel flashes with stock ones.
the one that causes a lot of lock screen lag is the /system/lib/hw/power.msm8960.so file

Can I just flash this with CWM? And then flash back to franco m2?
I actually just got an RMA for my phone, because of this issue and that the back glass panel is a little loose and makes creaking noises. When I send the phone back to google, if I follow all the steps here and lock the bootloader, it should be fine to send back to them?
Google's RMA process was amazing. Took me all of 10 minutes. They're shipping a new one in 3-5 days, and they pay for the return shipping of my old device. The replacement is brand-new, not a refurbished device. My dad's iPhone 4S had a bunch of issues and he would have to book an appointment at the Apple store, which happens to be an hour away, and they would only replace his device with a refurbished one.
Good day people. I recently got the Note 3 and realized this annoying bug. I used the note 2 previously and turned off 3 developer options to make it run faster: "Window Animation Scale", "Transition Animation Scale" and "Animator Duration Scale". However when I turned the 3 options off on my note 3, after some time, the "Transition Animation Scale" will turn itself back on to the default of 1X. The other 2 options remain off. This "Transition Animation Scale" bug is really annoying and I wish to seek help on this matter. Thanks in advance.
anyone?
please help someone?
Steps to reproduce?
Played around with it for 2-3 hours and I wasn't able to reproduce the issue, Which model are you using, what method did you use to root. Is there a particular amount of time that leads to the Transition Scale reverting or is it possibly when the device is rebooted.
Being unable to reproduce so far I am guessing it's one of three things off the top of my head:
A system application is triggering a conflict requiring the default value.
The change is not being saved in a persistent state (reboot clears it)
A Timeout based on the setting not being applied as the file is in use ? (It's a long shot maybe reboot after change?)
See if you can't narrow down when the setting is returning to default so others can reproduce.

okay i tried turning off "adaptive display" and it actually remained good for many hours. however after i used the camera, the same "Transition Animation Scale" bug appeared again. my device is SM-N9005 and not rooted whatsoever.
ok im quite sure the culprit is the camera. when i change the camera mode from beauty face to auto, then i quit camera and open it again it will switch back to beauty face. how to fix this camera memory problem please? which in turn will fix the Transition Animation Scale
somebody please check this out. it's a very apparent bug............... HELP
please anybody help?
still searching for answers. it's confirmed the camera is the one causing this. anybody got a fix?

Same here, it should be a bug in the firmware. Apparently reading mode only works with adapt display and not the other 3 screen mode which is a bug too! Camera mode also lacks of Night mode which is available in S4
First off relax, demanding help will get you no where especially when you are dealing with a brand new device and an issue that has not been dealt with before.
I'm glad to see you found the camera app is the culprit, i can take a look at it tomorrow and see if I can't find a workaround for the problem. Working on a stock base however our options may be limited. If you are able to reproduce the bug on demand I would also send a report to samsung dot com / support just to get it on their radar (Not saying it will help but hiccups like this usually get addressed in OTA's).
If you have a chance to check before i get back to you see if the change is effected by a reboot (i.e. change settings, reboot, verify settings) might require root to fix the bug. As well can you try another camera app and see if the problem occurs (will let me know if it is something being called from the built in camera apk).
Hopefully we'll get this sorted for you and anyone who runs into it in the future.

Dear Sir Poet. I have done what you instructed me to do, I applied the same developer options settings, rebooted the phone and the settings were verified good.
However, the moment after I use the Camera app, the "Transition Animation Scale" turns on by itself again. I have tried using third-party camera apps and they do not affect the settings in developer options.
It is therefore very very obvious that the Default Camera is causing this instability in developer options settings.
Sir, kindly help us feedback to Samsung regarding this issue so that they will release an OTA update fix.
Your continual help in solving this problem is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

You are a very pushy bloke mate.. go report this problem to Samsung yourself dont tell poet to do it.. sheesh !

We all have problems with early firmware.. I have a rebooting issue.. but I'm patiently trying to fix it myself while conversing with others patiently about a workaround.. eitherway I know that my GS4 was rubbish with the first firmware..
it'll get better. be patient.
tested and reproduced the same effect.
confirmed that starting the camera (regardless of front or rear)will reset the transition animation scale to 1x.

Guys i have a problem with my LG g2 D802 with screen turning black often, then i messed around with the phone and ticked the option "always GUP overly" something like that in developer menu, anyways after that i didn't had any problem for 3 days, then again the blackout started,after restarting the phone more than 10 times i got the display back, then i checked if that overlay option is still ticked, is wasn't ticked , and i didnt touched it, anyways ..this should be an software problem right? anyone here know how to fix this ? Help me out please

@Demitha some options in developer options resets after boot so they are getting unticked by the system itself. I don't know why your screen turns black after enabling that option, the onkly thing i can say to try is to wipe cache/dalvik-cache and even maybe an factory reset and if those things doesnt work then reflash stock.
We could also see maybe what caused an bsod when you logcat but since it appears often its hard to say when you need to start logging.

yeah it was worse before,after enabling that option blackout didnt happen fro o 3 days , i noticed even though i didnt restart the phone that HW overlay option gets unticked :/
@Demitha well if it was even worse before then i suggest you to charge your phone to 80-100% for safety because it may take a long time, maybe it can be lower but for safety I always have my battery around that percentage. And then you can try the guide. If your screen turns black can you touch it on random spots to see or it makes sound noises like if you click on anything.

@wulsic you think reflashing will fix this issue?

@Demitha if you flash the phone to 4.4.2 then you will still get software updates for apps, system incremental updates etc so dont worry about it. You need to care first more to find out the black screen problem. Also if you have an blackscreen do you see like an backlight on ? That the black color gives light ?

@Demitha ahh okay so its not totally off, it could be an software problem since i also had something like that on custom roms when waking up my device (bsod) but i dont remember that my touchscreen still works that i hear those noises so it could be also an hardware problem. The only thing i cannsay is flash it to stock once again like it came out of the box and use it for a couple days to see or its coming back. If so can you reply again to this thread? I think that some g2 users could maybe say more about this subject since i dont have the g2. I also read about display graphics ram which saves battery by holding an image and displaying it like that instead of the gpu so i thought maybe that it got bugged or what, correct me if i'm wrong I read it today in the morning around 2 am.

well, i never flashed a phone before, im afraid i might do it wrong
@Demitha i know that you are scared for the first time, when i flashed an android phone for the first time (Htc google nexus one, i miss the trackball xd) i read everything carefully and i did it good it was different then windows mobile since i was the first android user in my family. but i had it for some weeks and sold it again because i had touchscreen issues,power button didnt worked so yeah. But that was some hardware issue which wasn't caused by the flash but it was the previous owner.
So just read the guide carefully, backup all your files to be sure and charge your phone to 80% atleast thats what i am always doing. Or you need to know an geeky friend who also do these stuff
can you please point out what i need to download in order to flash the phone in this thread, there are different versions of g2 models there ,please check the screenshot below

here is the other screenshot, - https://copy.com/9oNye3tlH96z
@Demitha you said you have the d802 version and i also see in the build/software number the d802 so
You need to flash the d802 version which is the international one so just find the d802 files and flash it goodluck! Reply if you need help again
Hi guys,
I have to fire 7 in tablets both bought at the same time from same place. Both are running the same Lineage-12.1 ROM (12.1-20170802-Unofficial-ford)
But for some reason when i keep them side by side one of them has a very dull screen brightness where as the other is nice and visible. I am not sure if this has to do with the hardware or some missing setting in the one that is dull. I tried making both 100% bright from the upper menu but the screen difference is still the same.
The bottom image is the brighter one. Any idea if some setting somewhere is causing this?

On checking further I noticed that the tablet which is showing dull color seems to show the exact same even when I adjust the brightness slider in the top menu. When the slider is on 0 or 100% its the same. that tells me that the software slider is somehow broken?

Known kernel issue with custom ROMs. Symptoms typically rectified with a reboot. If no joy try a full power down with a 5 sec pause before restarting.

Sorry for the late response Davey126, for some reason it didn't post my reply when I used my cell phone the other day. I tried to restart a few times but still have the same screen issue the brightness controls dont respond. Will upgrading to the latest release help with this issue? Is there any other fix to permanently fix the problem?
Thanks for your help.
thanks,
Matt

Probably not. Likely have to sideload a full version of FireOS to refresh/replace the kernel - then start over. There is no known 'fix' for the problem other than keeping memory load to a minimum (or using the swap tweaks that I outlined elsewhere).
