Can't Lock Phone: Setting always changes back to slide to unlock - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently tried to update to a new version of the kernel I use, but after installing and rebooting I found I my lock screen had changed from pattern to swipe to unlock. I tried changing it back to pattern and even after setting pattern, it would revert back to swipe after I hit confirm. I tried going back to previous kernel. I've gone all the way back to stock 25R using this this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/onep...s-zip-t2820008. That didn't work. Then I formatted all data and installed 38R following this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2770535.
What do I do? I don't like my phone not being secured

[Q] Lock Screen, won't lock

I'm using a Rogers Infuse 4G and seem to be having difficulties with my lock screen to prompt for a password/pin.
I had previously rooted my phone, and used MIUI, Infused, and a few other ROM's. the issue started on my last install of Infused. If I set a password, or pin it prompts, prompts for confirmation then goes back to the password options screen.
When I lock my device, or reboot, it does not prompt for the PIN/Password. Strangely enough, Pattern works, but, because I use my phone on an exchange email system, I'm forced to use a password/pin.
So I decided that maybe the ROM was bad, so I redownloaded and flashed the device, clearing cache, user data and dalvik cache. Same issue. Failing that, I used ODIN to reload a stock rooted Rogers PDA and Phone image back on to the device.
Rebooted, ran SuperOneClick to Unroot the device, and I have the same issue. Are the infuses like iPhones, where the PIN is stored in a hardware chip? Is it possible that, if this is the case, that chip is somehow not functioning?
I'm having difficulties figuring out why a Rogers Infuse Gingerbread ROM can't update the security settings
Any help is appreciated
Bump.
Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening? I've tried re-flashing using ODIN and a PIT file + PDA_UXKG3_rooted_no_bootloaders_v2.tar.md5 and PHONE_UXKG3.tar.md5
For whatever reason, my phone still refuses to save whatever password I put in for the lock screen.

Lock Screen Troubles

I am having issues when unlocking my phone
Whenever i click the unlock key it will unlock my phone, however randomly it will shut the screen off, turn it on again, shut it off etc. WIthout even touching the button this is happeneing. It will also occasionally bring up the power menu (cm10) for the phone. I dont think it is a hardware thing because my button feels fine and isnt broken. However i am wondering if it is cm10, i recently changed from stock cm10 to liquidsmooth and it still does it. Any advice would be great.
Did u data wipe/factory reset before u flashed the new ROM?

Yes i did at least through clock work mods factory reset
Have you been using the same kernel through all this?Also is it the correct kernel?
UNL◎CKED & L◎ADED GS|||
I have been using the same kernel i should probably check to ensure it is correct

[Q] Lock Screen not working on Android 5.0 with Root

Hi,
I'm using an unlocked Nexus 5, and flashed as soon as the factory image was released. I used CF-Autoroot to gain root access.
The problem that I'm having is that the lock screen does not work. This means that when I lock the phone (power button), it just fades to black, but when I hit the button again (either immediately, or after a wait), I go straight to where I was, the lock screen does not activate no matter what I do. I've tried letting it time out, still no luck.
When I restart the phone, it shows the lock screen, but sounds like something is trying to unlock the phone, and the phone then unlocks and doesn't lock again. I've tried disabling all Device Administrators, with no luck. I tried a factory reset and then a re-flash followed by another factory reset, and the problem still persists. I've also tried toggling Smart Lock on and off, still no change.
If I go to the security settings and re-select a Screen Lock mode, then the lock screen shows up again, but after I unlock, it goes away never to return.
This has been extremely frustrating, since Smart Lock was one of the features I was most looking forward to. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
The current Root apps that I use are:
1. SuperSU (obviously) 2.23 BETA
2. BusyBox Free
3. AutomateIt Pro
4. Greenify
5. Power Toggles
6. AdAway
7. Titanium Backup
Another note: After the factory-reset, wipe, flash, factory-reset that I did, I restored all non-system Apps and data with Titanium Backup. Just putting this here in case you guys know of any app that causes this problem.

Mine fixed itself after I manually installed the latest Google Play Services apk. Maybe try that and see if it works for you...

Moto G XT1032 Running stock 5.1 FW Issue

Hey there fellow XDA'ers, I seem to be having an issue with my XT1032 right now, it was working fine up until last night; for some unknown reason, when I tried tapping on the Network icon when you pull down the notification bar from the top of the screen to toggle my Mobile Data, it didn't do anything, just went back to home screen. So then I tried rebooting it and now says No SIM Card (and did try turning it off, take out the SIM, reinsert it and turn it back on), and all of my recent apps are still there. Usually none are in 'recent apps' after a reboot, and when I tried to go into Settings then tap on 'More' (under Wireless & networks section) it does nothing (but just force close I guess?), and goes back to Home Screen. And well now it won't boot past the Bootloader Unlocked Warning screen, it doesn't loop though so it's not caught in a bootloop, but I don't know what the hell happened; nor have been able to find a fix for it. It was rooted, but had to flash the Stock ROM then did the OTA updates (it was @ 4.4.2 while rooted then OTA'd up to 4.4.4, then 5.0.1 then 5.1) and there's no custom Recovery either, so it's all stock right now. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Lock screen clock changed position on stock rom without any changes

Hi,
I've got ZTE Nubia Z9 mini with a stock rom of Android 5.0.2. Today I have clicked power on button and I saw the clock is on a wrong place. I've restarted the phone and get powered off few times. I've also tried some custom screen locks and launchers without any success. because while using custom screen lock I have to disable default lock screen but I cannot do that because I have my certificates on the device and when I do that android deletes my certificate and to upload them again I have to enable PIN etc. How can I bring it back. I have already clean personal data from nubia launcher but this didn't help. Factory reset of course is an option but it is as a lat position on my list. Getting xposed framework is not an option for me because I don't have custom bootloader. Please help ....
