My Razr Maxx HD's lock screen turns on about every 90 seconds sometimes and I have to restore a previous backup to stop it. A simple reboot does not. It is on 4.1.1, rooted and BL unlocked, and heavily modded. I don't have a clue as to how to find out what is causing this. Is there a way to set up a trap to find out where the turn on signal is coming from? I can't pin the problem to any specific time of day or application used.

Occasionally, I'll pull my Charge out of my pocket and hit the power button expecting to see the unlock screen pattern, but instead it goes straight to my launcher home screen. Once this happens, the lockscreen never comes back without a reboot or hot-boot. Also, when this happens, the power button menu dies. No matter how long I press and hold it, no menu for shutdown, etc, just turns the display off.
This started happening a month or so ago, on two different ROMS (gummy and humble), even after full wipes and fresh rom installs, it eventually will happen again.
I have 7 active Android devices (N1, NS, SGS, SGS2, Thunderbolt, Charge, Nook Color), all of them using the same Launcher Pro with similar setups, and the Charge is the only one to have this happen to it.
I'm not even sure where to start troubleshooting this. It's a major security risk for me…way too much personal information on the device to risk it randomly unlocking itself for anyone who happened to pick it up.
I've had the Charge since day 1, and it's never been a pleasure to own until the latest round of GB ROMs came out. I was actually starting to use it as my daily driver, but with this security hole, it's looking like back to the desk drawer for it unless I can figure it out.
The only things I've tried so far are removing AutoKiller memory tweaks from the Charge (thinking maybe the process was being killed) and full wipes/resets. I'll also try running a different launcher (that would suck, I really like LP).
Any ideas?
I can just say that its happened to me as well only way i found to fix it was to restart but then it hasn't happened again i was running 2.3.5 leak just rooted.

I have been running humble 5.0 since release, and also running launcher pro plus, I have not had this issue. So possibly a rogue app is killing it.

Ive never used it before or looked anything up but in your setting under location and security you can pick between numbers, create your own lock screen etc. Not sure if that is just for when the phone first starts but maybe look into that. Then find out why your other one isnt working.
Use logcat to figure out what is causing it to die and stop working.
So Ive been having issues with my Htc One X and I decided to send it back to Htc (through warranty) to fix the issues... The following are issues I have encountered with the phone on Jb..
Phone randomly reboots after selecting an app
Background Wallpaper would just disappear and turn black
I would select to use an app such as Instagram for example, and it would pop up for a second but then go back to home screen each time
Text messages would come hours late but say received at an earlier time
Keyboard would disappear when texting
Signal would drop to no signal because the phone is "preparing sim" (like when it first comes on) (which is randomly)
Htc Sense would randomly close along with process com.android..etc. (see picture for screenshot, notice task bar has also diapered. )
After the pop up notifications of Htc sense or whatever crashing or stopping I would have to press ok like 50 times to get it to stop popping up..or try to hurry up and restart before it comes back up
Can anyone explain what's going on??????? I have sent my phone to Htc multiple (at least more than 5) times to be fixed and before this time it was a refurbished device because they messed up my usb port on my original phone. I do not run a lot of apps and even with some apps uninstalled it still continues to act like this and I would usually have to restart.. I wish I could unlock boot loader and flash new ROM to fix it.. but they always send it with Jelly Bean installed from stock.
That's quite a collection of issues! Since the phone is bone stock, I'd just try a factory reset, then installing a minimum of apps, and see if the issues still occur. Or run the phone in Safe Mode, and see how it behaves. If its still acting up, send it back again.

Could not honestly tell you, maybe it is some setting you have on the phone. Or may be it is a genuine hardware issue that needs to be repair or replaced. If you sent it 5 times, you should be able to get a brand new phone. I know with AT&T, after the third time, they will replace the phone with a comparable phone
Hey guys. I'm having an odd problem. I'm not sure what the proper terminology would be to describe it but my screen randomly "flickers?" or "refreshes?" itself. It's pretty similar to the effect you get when you click on a link within an app and it does a Window Transition to either a website, opens a new app, etc. It is doing this without being triggered by any user interaction. I can be within an app or looking at my home screen (not touching the screen at all) and it will do this transition animation thing with the result being itself. Unfortunately, I am unable to recreate the scenario at will. It is completely random. Sometimes happening within minutes of itself and other times it will happen hours apart.
It started happening again as I'm typing. Since it looks a window animation, I went into Developer Option and changed "Window Animation Scale", "Transition Animation Scale", and "Animator Duration Scale" all to OFF. It is still doing it but now it just looks different when it does it. It's more like a flash now.
Have any of you experienced this before? If so, were you able to resolve the issue in any way? I apologize if my description isn't that great. If you need more info just let me know. Thanks a head of time for anyone who can offer even just a suggestion.

i think something its wrong in the system, this may sound too heavy for a solution but you should reflash your firmware.

Thanks so much for the response! After a few days of pulling my hair out about this...Would you believe that after I froze "MotorolaOTA" in Titanium Backup (I was tired of getting asked to update to 4.4.4) that I haven't experienced this issue anymore. Not a single flash, flicker, etc. Does that make any bit of sense lol? I can't believe that would cause my device to do that. Of course, it could just be coincidence that it stopped after I froze the OTA reminder. I don't know though, it sure does make it seem like that was the problem.
has anyone run across this issue when you set a specific time out, the screen dims after the specified time but does not lock, it stays on?
my phone was working just fine, stock not rooted, took the latest update and after that i've been having nothing but weird issues, the other day the notification area at the top was not working, i had to basically check every app, messages etc manually to see updates, had to factory reset the damn thing, now this screen issue, the phones is only 1 month old.
any input?
thanks
I'm having very weird issues with screen lock. I'm be on the phone and the device will randomly lock and not let me unlock it without restarting the phone.
The new update is when it all started. I don't want to do a factory reset, but it's looking like I might have to?
Hi, I have the G7 power (model XT 1955-4) for 2 days, and something very strange happens to me,
Suddenly the phone to introduce the unlock by fingerprint or by pin, I constantly restarted and I can not continue, I get the message of activated motorcycle options,
I already did a cleanup from the Recovery model and I can't fix it,
I'd appreciate your help
That's an absolutely terrible bug never fixed by Motorola (AFAIK). This is what happens:
If I change "Default USB configuration" and/or animation scales, hours later, when unlocking the phone by using my fingerprint or PIN, in a random moment, the phone reboots and softbricks. After that, the only way to recover from this situation is making a factory reset and not changing those settings unless your life depends on it.
It's sad, but unless this is solved by Motorola or any kind developer, this is the only way I found out to prevent the phone from becoming useless.
I changed the animation scales with no issues a few weeks ago. You guys are just running unrooted stock I assume?
