When I upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich, the icon for camera on the lock screen is unresponsive. If you drag the icon into the ring it will only take you to the home screen, not the camera application. All of the other icons work, just not Camera. Its fine when the phone is already unlocked. Please Help.
I had this problem before, when using sense rom; if i use face unlock... Never knew the fix for it... I just disable face unlock... Im not sure if it will be the same as yours... I hope it will work...

If the previous post does not resolve the issue then you can start by clearing your app data for the lockscreen and the camera. If that does not resolve things for you then you may want to create a nand backup, perform a factory reset, and see if the problem persists.
This is where Nightly's Cyanogen Mod 9 build could come in. If you had it, you could set up your own lock screen shortcuts, fixing all of the shortcuts into what you want. Sorry about your issue, I would help if I could, but I've always had the option of changing up the functions of the shortcuts.

I'm on t mobile nexus with the ota 4.0.3 update running. My install process was wipe, install 2.3.6, wipe, install the ota from one of the guides on xda, reflash recovery, flash su app. I keep getting screen tearing at the bottom of my launcher, and whenever a part of the screen is supposed to get dim (eg when a popup window comes onscreen) the fade animation acts really weird (it will kind of flash/distort). Any advice? Is this a common occurrence? Should I reflash from stock or would flashing a kernel later on solve this? I kind of don't want to have to reconfigure everything again.
Made a youtube video of the problem:
The launcher will (seemingly at random) get really choppy and start to tear at the bottom of the screen. I know it's hard to make out in the video (I couldn't get my camera to focus properly) but it is tearing. It's easiest to see between 0:05 and 0:10.

I can't be the only one to have noticed this. I see it on both my and my friend's nexus s's.
At least you're getting it in certain situations only. I get screen tearing in the lower left corner of the display in every app that uses hardware acceleration.
Using an I9023 running stock 4.0.3.

HI,
I got the XE with ICS official OTA.
Everything was fine, but I got the problem that sometimes when I unlock the lockscreen the Phone starts the Cameramode, even if I don't pull camera into the ring. Does somebody else has the problem?
I made a hardreset(after installing ICS I didn't) but the problem isn't solved. It just happens sometimes, not always...
greatz
no camera from lockscreen
Hi, sorry to boot be able to answer your question, but I thought it prudent to mention I'm having the opposite problem. My camera will not launch from the lockscreen, the shortcut from the dock still works fine (and I've tried replacing it) no idea why it's happening. Using stock camera app, sensation XE, running OTA ICS 4.0.3 and sense 3.6

I am having exactly this problem with my HTC Sensation. I upgraded 2 days ago from O2 release and now from the lock screen the camera will not start when I drag it into the lock ring. I only get the desktop. Every other icon works fine, phone, mail, text, or even a folder icon with items inside.
Anyone know why the camera won't work from the lock screen any more?
Thanks
Az

Very strange, now the camera is working and I've changed nothing. It even launches the camera if you have a password switched on, which is what we want :-D
Happy days with ICS so far, including 'Face Unlocking'.
Az
I just found out why this is... It only seems to happen with face unlock... I reckon it'll have something to do with the fact that the camera app bypasses the security for faster shooting, but either something is wrong with the face unlock coding, the camera is just trying to do 2 things at once, but either way, I'd like to see HTC offer a fix as I like face unlock and Always have really important stuff I have to photograph instantly =P
Hello,
I owned a Galaxy S with Android 2.3.6 and used the SwitchPro Widget all the time for the screen lock widget, to prevent using the power button to lock the screen. Recently, I upgraded to the S3 and the same widget is giving me trouble. Everytime I use it, it turns the screen off, but immediately it turns back on and it stays like that for a few seconds. It acts like something else is waking it up. Sometimes, it does work perfectly, but it's very rare. I am using a pattern on the lock screen to unlock, but I don't see how that could be a problem since it was the same on my older phone. Does anyone have any hints or experience the same problem ? I tried using other widget packs with screen lock widgets, but they all act the same.
Thanks in advance.
same problem

I have the same problem on a Sony Experia Pro... I've used "zMooth" to lock screen with a gesture and "screen off" widget for that... both used to work well on the original stack gingerbread... but then I flashed a custom ICS rom and now they do what you describe... I really wonder if it's something more related to ICS than anything else.

i'm having the same issues with my galaxy s3, and its quite annoying.
I used to have an HTC amaze that was updated to ICS, and it had no issues going screen off right away with switchpro widget
Hi there,
I searched for this but could not find anything, so my apology if I overlooked it somewhere.
Just bought my Galaxy SIII through Verizon, Android version 4.0.4 ICS. Everything is still stock except for changing the wallpapers on the homescreen and lock screen (both different). Here's my issue and it seems to be off and on. If I hit the home button, regardless of whatever app or screen I am on, the wallpaper will glitch and seem to "offset" itself for a brief moment. This results in some blurred/granular stuff on each side. So far I've turned off the animation and transitions in the developer option, and turned off S Voice wake up when hitting the home button twice. I also tried reverting my wallpapers back to the stock wallpaper. Nothing has seemed to fix this problem as of yet. It's not lagging the phone performance, but it's annoying and look like ****.
Anybodye give me some help on how to address/fix this issue? Thanks in advance for any help.
Tom
Anybody??
When I wake up the cell phone it gives a bug
I have this problem I don't know why
I thought it was the September update, but I installed the October patch and the same thing happens
I think it's root. Has anyone had this problem? Do you know how to solve?
I've already tried changing the unlock type
Video of what's happening
This problem only does not happen when I leave the option always display active
Edit: I just installed the clean flash from the rom stock and it still has the same problem
resoved:
well i think i figured out what causes this bug on the lock screen. I tested several things, uninstalled LSxposed, root, applications etc. But nothing solved. So I put in gesture navigation as I only use buttons. And that was it, after I put the gesture navigation there was no more problems
