Stuck on lock screen.... Android 2.1/2.2

So, I downloaded and launched it perfectly... everything so far i tried is working fine except the lock screen... Some times when i press the Cancel key the button lights lid up but there is nothing on the screen and sometimes it appear the lock screen but nothing happen....
Do someone have any solution to this...
Thank you.
I have the same problem. I have been reading that possibly going back to an older kernel / roofs fixes this problem but have not seen and confirmed reports.
Can anyone confirm this and what version?
Thanks
Same problem at me. Both builds are running very fine for some tine but after that are running slow.I don't know why. Maybe is somehow related with the lockscreen problem?
I have this problem as well i get lucky if i manage to move passt the lock screen and the OS runs really slow it takes like 20 seconds just to open the app screen and the app screen laggs like no to morrow how come so menny ppls can get it to run just fine but i cant it makes me sad face
+1 one for me... I have got a TOPA100, it's almost impossible to wake up the device, sometimes the lockscreen is visible, but it's impossible to move the unlock slider. Usually I need about 10 times and something around 5 Minutes to wake up the device.
Same problem here, would be great if this can be fixed...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
For me it's the same and the battery runs only for one hour, I think a (system?)process is running with 100% CPU time. I am new to android, so I don't know where to look.
Same here on an AT&T Pure. Sure would love to get this fixed however I'm reasonably noob to the Android world (not completely novice to linux in general, and I have successfully flashed my AT&T TyTN II thanks to this site.) Fixing this would be a huge help!
Thanks
More specifically on my device I encounter. The following:
- Turn screen off via end button.
- Turn on screen via call button.
HW button lights come on for a few seconds then cut themselves off.
Screen does not turn on at this point.
- Turn on screen via call button again
- Screen comes on with HW button lights
about half the time screen is unresponsive and will not all me to unlock with swipe of finger
Other times will accept input and unlock to the home screen
When unresponsive repeating entire process above will likely allow me to unlock successfully.
Thanks!
Sent from my AT&T Pure using XDA App
same
my screen never wakes up
end up using soft reset to windows mobile
(it could be something to do with startup??)

Milestone not entering Lockscreen

I've been having a bit of a strange problem lately - sometimes my phone won't enter the lock screen. I'll turn the screen off, or let it go to sleep, and then when I go to turn the screen back on again (could be hours later), it goes directly to the home screen, and never see the lock screen. This makes it very easy to pocket-dial, or launch apps - my pocket started blaring music one day.
A restart seems to fix it for a little while, but within a day it will start doing the same thing, and I don't think I saw the lock screen at all yesterday. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? It started a couple months ago, but it seems to be more frequent now.
I am currently running Motorola Milestone, CM7 (kabaldan's beta with swap enabled). It was also happening some with CM7.2.1
Thanks in advance!
Anyone have any ideas?
Another interesting point is that after NOT seeing the lockscreen, and then playing around on the phone, I'll open one of the apps (say the browser), and THEN it will drop into the lockscreen. So right in the middle of doing stuff, it will make me have to unlock the phone. Can be a little frustrating.

[Q] Two Random Galaxy S Problems (possibly hardware)

Hi I have been using a Galaxy S for almost two years. I have two problems which started to occur recently. They occur in all ROMs I tried, so I don't think it is a software issue.
1- Sometimes when I unlock the phone the screen acts like I touch everywhere, even though there is no contact. It randomly starts apps etc. It can be very annoying. When I lock the screen and unlock it again, everything is normal. It happens two or three times a day on average.
2- Sometimes when I try to unlock the screen, the screen turns on, there is light coming out of it but it is still black. Nothing happens. I think this happens mostly when there is a media app running like music etc. but not 100% sure. The only solution is a reboot. Sometimes after waiting for some time the screen turns on but rarely.
Are these look like simple problems that can be fixed by phone repairer or something or the screen is dying? What do you think about it?
Thanks.

**HELP**Lock button permanently locks

I have a strange problem, well a few. If I lock my phone (C6903) using the physical button I can't unlock it again. I try for about 5-10 minutes sometimes and it just wont work. If I hold it down I can feel it vibrate as if it's bringing up the power menu but the screen just stays black. Eventually it will randomly wake up then I can play around as normal. If I leave it to lock itself I can unlock every time, fist time no worries. This is what pointed me to it being a SW problem rather than a hardware problem.
I also noticed that when I do have the screen turning off in the dark, I can see that the screen is still lit up! Just it is black, not completely asleep. It's really quite bright when I have it next to the bed. Also when I am outside I can't see the screen at all really, even with the brightness turned right up.
It's really strange all these happened about the same time. I figured maybe it was a ROM problem and a fresh install of stock ROM would help. Tried it and at first most of these problems went, just the fact I still couldn't really see the screen in the sun. I tried another ROM and at first was just the same but then these problems started again.
Has anyone had any or all of these problems or got any ideas what it could be? I am left thinking now that the problem is more likely hardware related as the problems are so sporadic and happen whatever I have installed.
Any help / suggestions would be appreciated but I have the feeling I will have to just admit the phone is dogged
You say that most of the problems desapararecen to install a new ROM, it is likely that installing something extra to be the cause, I was introduced me something similar with Expoxed Notifications Module.
Try a clean installation without installing test applications to determine if the problem recurs.
Thanks, yes I guess I will try that, bit of a pain having to reinstall apps after every install and restoring messages etc so I might just put up for now.
I also have realised that the screen not turning on and the screen staying on but black happen at different times. i.e. I can now randomly turn the screen on and off no problem (don't think I have installed or deleted any apps or changed anything), but the screen stays awake when off. When I was last not able to turn the screen back on after turning off the screen actually went to sleep. Very strange

The Hardest Problem: Home screen glitch-only

Hey guys!
So I'll put a video of my cellphone and how the problem looks like right below.
Last week I installed a few apps from Play Store for studying and after a while the phone screen started to behave with a glitch: It started to flash some vertical lines and sometimes parts of the screen are placed in other places. If I touch the screen where an icon used to be but due to the glitch it is in another place of the screen the app opens normally. Like this glitch is more about an illusion. Sometimes the whole screen can go black or white and then it turns off. Sometimes the colour scheme is inverted. (In the video you can see itbetter)
When I try to turn on the screen again by pushing the Power Button the screen can blink quickly so I can't unlock it.
I saw a lot of things on internet but actually nothing really helped me. I suspected that it was a kind of virus but I changed the ROM 3 times (flashing Android 6.0 Marshmallow, Android 5.0 Lollipop and Android 4.4 KitKat) and the problem still haunts me. When I'm setting the cellphone up the screen is OK and everytime I can open an app this glitch stops. (As you can see in the video) But when I go to the home screen this glitch starts immediatly.
I've heard that it has to do with the battery or it is a hardware problem. But I don't know why this problem only happens in the home screen. On fastboot screen the screen is OK too.
I'm trying this forum really hoping that someone appears with the solution. Thank you so much!
