Solved, app for free insurance offered by Samsung was causing lockscreen. Uninstalling solved it

A Better Fix
Found out that i really do not have to uninstall the app (appsdaily) in my case.
Instead,
1. Click on the app.
2. Click on Protection Tab
3. Scroll down and click on SOS tab to turn it off.
Lock & try unlocking..
Yeah there U go.. no more sos crap on the lock screen..
Cheers...
Thanks @NewBee029 . I was struggling to find a way to remove it.

I've found the best lockscreen for Android: Temporary Phone Lock. When my boss enters the room, he sometimes grabs my phone just to piss me off and he goes through my pictures etc. Now that I have installed this app he is out of luck To unlock is very fast and not irritating at all. Also the standard lockscreen sometimes onlocks in my phone and starts to dail random numbers, also fixed that problem with this tool. Highly recommended! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.SocialMediaKickstart.TemporaryPhoneLockTrial
What makes it the best? Can you put widgets on the lock screen? And why would you use this instead of say the android lock screen when you can still use a number password in the android one????

You've got a terrible boss, he isn't allowed to do that.

So this app is to quickly toggle the lock screen? That way you can disable it when no one is around and then quickly enable in public?

I'm using Hi App Lock. The only problem I have with this app is quite often it is not functioning after the phone is restarted. Other than that it is a fine app.
Hello.
I have a small problem talking on the phone. All the time when I'm making / reviving a call I put my phone to ear and when I'm closing the conversation on my display are open all: clock, viper audio notification, status bar.. Etc.
And yes the sensor is working OK .
I made a test
I call to service ( is free ) and block the lux sensor.
Screen black : - ok
Touching the screen: - ... Not on. All the time when I was pressing the clock and releasing the lux sensor I found my clock app open.
Some help and advice will be welcomed.
Thank you on advance

Try closing all your apps from the "recent apps" menu before making a call. Does it still open all those apps?
Yeap are still opening them. I'm thinking is a hardware problem ( not locking the screen during call )

And you're not rooted?
It's not hardware if it's simply opening apps.
I would recommend either trying other ROMs (If you're rooted), or flashing the factory images (if you're not rooted).
I updated from KitKat to lollipop via OTA and am using a pin number as my lock screen. However I have no option to enable smart lock. Anyone know how to fix this?
PS. I won't be reflashing lollipop if I can't fix this

I noticed it didn't appear immediately after the upgrade to Google Play Services 6.5. Have you tried a reboot?

Any resolution on this? I got sick of waiting for my 2013 nexus 7 to get lollipop so I did a sideload. Everything works fine I just don't have any smart lock options. I've tried uninstalling updates to play services then updating via google play, rebooting, then sideloading the current version of play services and rebooting and I still have no smart lock option...
Just seen this. No rotation

If you've got lollipop installed, but don't have the Smart Lock option under Settings > Security, you've probably not enabled it as a Trust Agent. Go to Settings > Security > Trust agents (down at the bottom) and you should see Smart Lock (google) with an on/off switch next to it. It needs to be set to on for you to see the Smart Lock option. Once it's set, you can use the a device (bluetooth or NFC), your location or your face as a method of bypassing the lockscreen without entering the PIN. Hope that helps...

Have seen this issue before, usually caused by a third party app. Boot in safe mode to see if issue persists.
Yes thanks, screen off and lock was the problem
