Lockscreen missing - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When my nexus boots up, it has a lockscreen. The moment I get a notification (email, voice mail, etc) my lockscreen disappears and never reappears when I turn my screen on until I reset the whole phone. I have screen lock slide selected under the security section. Anyone have ideas?

Did you load a custom ROM onto it?

Nope. It happens on my stock nexus I've noticed in logcat it says "no lock screen! Windowtoken=null"

Seems it was something to do with the Nova launcher beta. I'll email the dev

Did you find a solution to this? I'm not using Nova launcher and having the same. Posted here what I'm experiencing, plus some adb logcat output:

Yup! I found out why it was happening but it wasn't the developers fault Mods can closed/delete this thread!

I posted above in my thread what I was doing wrong: I messed myself up! I have the No Lock app it turns out that it was somehow set so locking was disabled. Re-enabling locking fixed this problem and solved my hours of wasted time.

Help : Touchscreen Un-Responsive Bug?

Hi there XDA.. I recently have been experiencing problems with my Nexus S. The first one has been the G-Mail.... say I get a new Email.. ill pull down my status bar... click on the email, then it'll switch to gmail app. I can view everything in the app... and the four bottom keys (home, back, menu, search) all do their respective jobs.. but there's absolutely no feedback from the screen when you press on Something. Thank God its only that app. But I also experienced a problem when trying to install 3rd party apps. Everything goes throughfine..then it takes me to the screen where it warns you about what permissions you're giving the app.... and whether you want to install it or cancel. Well... everything on this screen is responsive except for the Instal button. I've tried to factory reset twice... and well.... the same problems keep coming up. I was woundering if anyone else had these problems ? Of if there was a solution? Thanks so much!

Wow actually I'm using screen filter... do you think that's the problem? !?!?!?!?!?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
That's exactly what it is. I'm using that too that's why I know. Lol. I had the same problem I restored to factory also but then I eventually figured it out that screen filter is the culprit. Haha.

That's so stupid lmao. Thanks for the tip! Figure out exactly why it's the culprit? Btw it worked

No prob man. Glad I could help.

Screen filter is actually the culprit. It even mentions this issue on its info in the market. Though it also says that with the latest version of gmail the issue is gone.

Haha thanks. Checked it out on the market... how am I supposed to update gmail?

Ok, Google - function

It seems to support voice commands, but will it work from sleeping mode?

I have read so many posts about this thing so I can't remember the source. What I did see was a screen shot about having to be at your Home Screen or in Google Now before the voice activation works. Going only on this it would appear that the X still has a advantage with touchless control.
The Nexus 5 page says you have to be on the home screen.

Indeed it does say "When on your home screen" but it DOESN'T say it won't work from sleep mode, or?
I'm not sure how accurate it is, but:

"Speech recognition is receiving some upgrades as well. With the update you'll be able to wake up your Nexus 5 and search just by saying "OK, Google," like on the Moto X. "

I'm hoping as people in the US begin to get their Nexus 5, they will be able to confirm this 100%. Currently it seems that the Nexus 5 does NOT get woken up like the Moto X - "Ok Google" only works with a NON-Secure/Slide Lockscreen and ONLY on the Homescreen/Google Now.
Hoping we are all wrong
I have mine (UK - Carphone Warehouse purchased this morning) and OK Google does nothing at all whether on the lock screen, sleep or home screen.
Sad.
Does nothing on my N5..

+Ryan Yakus Google Now has a dedicated home screen (one swipe to the left). The Nexus 5 also listens for you to say "OK Google Now."
(A caveat on that "always listening" thing -- that feature is disabled if you have lock screen security enabled and you have to unlock the phone before it will listen for your voice.)

The N5 has a virtual SDCard for your data located out at /sdcard/emulated/0/ Place the .nomedia file there.

After some testing. I see that the audioIn wakelock only goes up when I am at the home screen. It doesn't go up when the phone is locked.
I conclude that it's the process that listens for the Ok Google command when in the Google experience launcher

Makes sense to me. I'll check mine out at some point.

I'm getting this too. Seems to be related to Tasker - when I go into Tasker I'm getting a low memory warning.

Anyone seen this before??

I was going through my wallpapers and I've noticed that one of the wallpapers has been cropped by default and I can't get it to display right.
I've tried to reboot the phone but that didn't help.
Any one knows how to get this wallpaper back to normal size besides factory reset?

Mine is like that too, I wonder if the recent launcher update did that?

I just checked and mine is the same way. It definitely happened after the update because literally the day before I updated I changed my wallpaper and now I can't even adjust it.

Nooppee hahaha, you can probably redownload the stock photo and then just set a wallpaper from your photos
This was an issue a year or so ago also, after one of the Google Services updates.

Custom lockscreens don't work properly

Hi there,
I've been really happy with my Nexus 5 since buying it in February, but I've always been jealous of those notifications iPhone users get on their lockscreen... So I decided to look at many different lockscreen apps. However, and I've found this issue multiple times with Widgetlocker, SlideLock, etc. After installing, the apps work like normal; my stock lock screen is disabled and the other shows up in its place. But after a while, seemingly random, the lockscreen app fails to show the screen, and I often have to flip it on and off or even reinstall it to get it to show up again... Has anyone else had this problem and possibly knows of a solution? I'm running a rooted factory ROM. Thanks in advance!

Well, seems like app issues. No one here can really help with that. You'd need to go to app website or email the makers.

Try this if you don't want a custom ROM. Rather than "replacing" the default lockscreen with an app it overlays on top. You'll also need to install this first but do not add it as a Lockscreen Widget since NiLS Floating Panel overlays over the lockscreen without needing the Widget.
