Hi guys, I am wondering if it is only me having this particular problem.
I have set a PIN for the screen lock. When I key in the PIN after dragging the camera icon on the lockscreen to the circle, THE MENU FOR THE CAMERA DOESN'T SHOW UP, I CAN'T EVEN PRESS THE 'BACK' BUTTON. IT JUST SHOWS ME WHAT THE CAMERA SEES AND I CANNOT TAKE PICTURE OR ANYTHING!
I have tried with the Pattern and Password, they did not work as well! But then when I set None for the screen lock, the problem doesn't exist and the menu pops up as it should normally.
FYI, I have done a factory reset and it didn't help.
Please help as I love this phone and I want it to be perfect. I think this is an awesome and beautiful handset.
Thx for ur replies!

I just downloaded and installed the ROM update(1.48.409) and SD card, Calendar view, SMS function, and digital Picture enchantment hotfixes.
The problem is that my Lock screen/slide to unlock screen is now gone.
I can press any of the physical buttons, and my device turns on.
This is very annoying when I have the device in my pocket.
Could anyone tell me how to get the Slide to unlock screen back?
Thanks!

YES lol
You could have first searched the forums, saved yourself a post, and not created ANOTHER redundant thread, but here's what you do...
Go to the start menu, select lock (bottom left softkey).
It works after you do that.
Incidentally, if you ever have it that you press an email preview in the email tab, and it doesn't open the email, this is the same problem. The fix applies to both issues.
Well, I did try to search the forum, but didn't find anything
Anyway, thanks!

So, basically, the suggestion from above works?
U can just tap on start, that on lock (bottom left). From now on your phone lock will work again (and also opening e-mails from preview).
So i got a new ROM flashed it correctly.

Thank you!
About the CHT lockscreen:
The CHT lock screen does not support any PIN code or password protected unlocking.
Remove any unlock codes before turning on the CHT lockscreen or you will be permanently locked out of your device and you'll have to do a hard reset.
If you are using a gsensor app to automatically rotate the screen and you have it to always rotate, you should add the class "CHTLockscreen" to the exception list.
If you don't have the rotation app set rotate everything, but only a list of desired programs, then you don't have anything to worry about.
If you need to lock the CHT lockscreen externally, you can do it with this: "\Windows\CHT_Helper.exe -lock"

Thanks for replying dandana
ANYWAY, i found out how to do a hard reset on the phone idk what the reset button was but it was the little headphone thing. thank you guys so much
Hello,
I've been using my new note 2 for two weeks now.. and I like it so much
I also used sgs2 and 3 before.
I'm not new to android.. I flashed roms, know every single setting in the device, rooted my sgs2 and tried lots of apps to customize them.
Regarding my issue, I like to set my device to none screen security because I always manually lock it with a press on the lock screen button after I do whatever I want to do with it, and to unlock I always press Home button to get back to where I was immediately without the need to swipe the lock screen.
The problem is when I lock it and there is an app running and then press the home button the screen goes to home default screen and do not just unlock the screen and keep it there where I was last, this was not the case with my sgs2 or sgs3.
If I press the lock screen button instead it does what I want but I prefer to use home button because its much easier.
Its not a big issue but its annoying sometimes because sometimes I get popup notification windows while the phone is locked (whatsapp for example) and I press the home button to see it and instead of just turning on the screen to see the window it goes back to home screen and the popup is gone, or in cases where I'am writing an email or reading something and meanwhile talking to somebody, if the screen gets locked, If I press the home button everything is gone. So I have to switch tasks to open my activity again.
I don't know if this is a jellybean issue or hardware (homebutton).
I know its not a big deal but I would appreciate if somebody can help get around this

Hello,
After a few days of using the phone, I installed Lightning Launcher and set it as default. I got some bugs with the lockscreen (i'll explain later) so I reverted back to the Xperia original launcher.
Now, after not using LL, I still have that same issue. I'm pretty sure it hasn't anything to do with LL or anything, but I prefer mentionning it just in case.
(tl;dr)
Whenever I press power button, it is supposed to immediately scan the fingerprint. It doesn't anymore and instead of the normal lockscreen I have a completely blank screen, only with Back and Home button.
Finger is not scanned, I can't swipe in any direction BUT, if I press the Home button, lockscreen shows up (it slides from the left side), as if I already swiped to the right.
That's pretty annoying when the purpose of fingerprint scan is to immediately unlock
Got any idea ? Somebody has the same problem maybe ?
EDIT:
Okay my bad. I uninstalled LL completely and the problem didn't show up anymore. I reinstalled because I remembered it can also be used as a lockscreen, and i disabled that in its settings. I'll check if problem continues but if not, I'll come back to inform about it.
Hi! Recently I updated to Stock ZUI 11.5.111 ST from this posthttps://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-pro-gt/lenovo-z5-pro-no-gt-qa-guides-development/lenovo-z5s-update-to-zui-11-5-android-10-t4111935 and Works Flawlessly :fingers-crossed: (Except Whatsapp Notifications )
But i cannot ¨Disable¨ or Change the ZUI Lockscreen by defect :/
I Tried ¨Hi Lock¨ and Works Good but... When I press the Lock Button on the Phone it Still show the Lockscreen by defect (Without password and Fingerprints), and after unlock it (Just Swipe up) it Show the Lock by ¨Hi Lock¨
Sometimes Work like it has to be, But Other Times the Lockscreen by defect cames back and it start the same problem again
Theres a way to totally disable it? In my Old Phone When I press the lock button it shows the main screen without another screen...
