Hi, it seems like my screen has gone haywire and the fix is to reboot the phone. I experienced twice within the last months so I did a factory reset and experienced it again today.
Here is a youtube video of what I am talking about. I didn't bother focusing on the screen for there was no need to show what was on it.
http://youtu.be/WBREioPgBkM
yeah mine did that twice the other day (for the first time), Hasn't done since. I havent updated to the latest update.
Crazy. I do have the latest updates so I guess it isn't that.
Pretty sure it only wanted to party all by itself, haha.
I've had the screen glitch out from the lock screen when I get a text notification. Sometimes when I double tap to open the text from the lock screen the screen will glitch out badly.

Dude, you may be on to something! That's when it freaks out for me too. I get a text and then go to unlock and it then flakes out.
Which SMS app are you using? I am using Textra and have the screen locked with the pattern lock.
Something similar happened to me when I first got my HP Touchpad few years back. Usually this is an indicator of a malfunctioning screen. I would recommend that you get it replaced while it is still under warranty. You can simply tell them that it is intermittent and cannot be reproduced easily.

Thats exactly when I saw it happen. I'm using Textra but don't have any pins or whatever on the lock screen.

Same. I'm also using Textra. Good to know I'm not the only one with this bug.

so the solution so far is to not using textra .-D
App conflict for sure, delete offending app.

hate it.
have missed lot of incoming calls due to it.
is there an app to remove it or replace it with something else?
Idk if they replace it, but have you tried lockbot or lock2.0?
i got a post on general with the same question.
I saw a "shake phone" apps on market awhile ago but i forgot what it call.
Maybe you can answer calls by flip/shake it.
try "no lock". It works fine on my X10

this works.
thanks.
also has a widget to quick enable disable the screen lock
BoD No Lock
BoD No Lock Works perfectly to remove the default lock screen and re-enable it when required, and best of all its free and simple and come with a nice GUI widget.
Doesn't solve the problem at all, calls are still being locked.
While i don't mind unlock the screen if i am not receiving calls so it doesn't click any "widgets" on the screen. I think it is worse then not using it.
Shall we start a petition for it? I rather have this fix then having 2.1 or 2.2 android if this persist further.

ya i noticed...the calls still need a 'swipe' to answer.
locale actually have a LP plug-in.
It said to "remove" default LP but i doubt it would work since if no lock doesn't work, it might not work on call as well.
I received my Sensation yesterday and I am running into some issues with it.
1) There are random instances where I will hit the power button to wake up my device and lock circle is in the middle of the screen and bottom half of the screen is all black and the device will not unlock.
I have been using the weather lockscreen when this happens after the last lockup I switched it back to the wallpaper lockscreen to see if I can duplicate it. So far I have been unable to duplicate the issue.
When this issue occurs all i can do is pull the battery.
2) When I move an app to the SD card and put a shortcut on my home screen then reboot my device the icon for the application that was move to the storage card disappears.
1. I noticed this too, its a bug that happens when the screen is locked in landscape mode. Unlock the screen by sliding where the little circle would have been normally. Then relock the screen in horizontal rotation.
2. This usually occurs if either the app got corrupt on the sd card or more likely the sd card is too slow in loading icons at boot. Whenever I had this issue, I just reset the Sensation and let it sit after a reboot for a few minutes before unlocking it.
I just got this today and was going to ask about it thanks for the workaround solution
the half screen lock issue
I've never had this issue and i can't duplicate it even when i lock the device in landscape. I would ask for a new device.

I've only noticed it with the weather lock screen specifically. I wonder how many other people have had this problem.
software issue.. contact tmo and get a replacement

I'm using the weather lock screen since i got the phone ( three weeks ago ) and i've never had this prob. On the other hand i have a european sensation so maybe it's a tmo thing. I believe it's software related but anyway it is an issue. You can wait for an OTA and hope that it will fix it or you can ask for a replacement.

I can't duplicate it either, but I definitely had it. I had to touch where the ring normally was and drag to unlock. You could see the ring move on the upper half of the screen, although you were moving from the bottom. It wouldn't go away until I powered down and booted back up (not in fast boot).
My issue with the weather lockscreen is the ring will not respond when I touch it to unlock? I have to swipe/finesse at it a couple of times til I can get it to uplock?

can confirm this mainly on the weather lock but...i notice the lock randomly hard to unlock, have to do same and swipe a few times but everything else is snappy
Unable to duplicate. Have been using weather lock exclusively. Could be your selection of shortcuts?
I actually just seen a video on YouTube where the person had the issue you just spoke of.

Ive had this only on the weather lockcreen and only when ive replied to an Handcent message popup while the phone is locked. Like someone else posted if you pull up from where it should be it works but only a reboot sorts it.

Hi, I searched the forum but had no luck:
Completely new Nexus 5, White 16GB, and I have this issue:
When i receive and miss a call, as soon as the ringer stops the phone automatically shows the unlocked homescreen and it just stays there, instead of locking itself normally. This is really weird, and happens even if the phone is in my pocket (so it's not sensor-related like whatsapp pop-ups for example). Also not really safe i'd say. If I select another lockscreen method, it behaves normally (showing, for example, unlock pattern for a certain amount of time before turning the monitor off again.)
Anyone experiencing the same issue?
http://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus5/comments/1q04f7/nexus_5_unlocks_itself_after_a_missed_call/
This is the only other reporting I found on the web. Can anyone test this? It's really fast and easy, and I think this could be a pretty serious issue.
My phone (pin locked) doesn't do that. Phone stays locked. Is your phone kept unlocked?

Yes. I don't really like the pin/passcode unlock (also don't really need it). Classic slide is simple and fast enough, but it's crazy that it stays unlocked after a missed call.
Also, I noticed that it automatically enters the last application that was open the last time you locked it, creating even more concerns (last online on messaging applications, online status in facebook, ecc.)
Just imagine you boss calling you, with no luck, and founding out a second later you're online in Facebook. Just because you were ignoring your phone, while driving for example.

I agree - that should not be the expected behavior
nexus5 32gb here, exactly the same behavior.. I had to enable a pin/password unlock method because every missed call would unlock my phone, even in my pocket..
I have the same issue.
Maybe it is because of the app Light Flow Lite ?

I thought this as well, but then I tried it on my friends N5 and had the same behavior, without light flow. I think many of us actually discovered this trying notifications in Light Flow (i bought the pro version) but it's not related to that.

Me too, but I hate it because I can't swipe down from the top to quickly see my notification without unlocking the device first.
Let me know if you guys have any advice on this issue, also report it in this thread to keep it bumped and see if anyone is reporting any solution.

exactly this, it was so useful to just throw a glance to the notifications to decide if open them or simply clean them away
Yes same here, this looks to be a bug surely?

Nice one, I have posted in that discussion as well. Hopefully we will get a response.
Others have the same problem, do you know how to report a problem to google ?
I just tried it on my phone, called from my desk number, missed call. It did open the phone all the way, but the screen turned back off in 5 seconds, per my settings.
My phones is currently stock, have not rooted or unlocked the bootloader yet. Only UI modification apps are Widgetzoid and Dashclock, I wanted to stay stock for a bit.
Sorry, that you are having issues. Unfortunately sometimes the easiest way to figure out what is causing the problems is to do a factory reset, and re-dowload your apps one by one, to see what is causing the problem.
Ok, but a several people have the same issue ...
Anyway, I think I will tri not to miss a call whenever the phone is in my pocket !

I don't like setting the screen timeout so short, many thimes i just place the phone on my desk while messaging and I want the screen to stay on, for at least 2 minutes.
And when I lock my phone to keep it in my pocket, it's supposed to stay locked and ignore any unintended touches as soon as i slide to unlock, which was originally introduced to prevent an unlock by accident. Yes, I could lower my screen timeout to 5 seconds, but that does not solve the problem because still unintended touches can occur in that time frame.

I wasn't sing o set your screen lock time to what I have it set at, I was just saying that it did re-lock. However, you are right, IMO it should not completely unlock the screen when the phone is ringing.
Though I have never not had a passcode on my phone, so not sure if that is how it always behaves. Was just trying to test and be helpful.
I sent a message to the google team, let's wait and see.
here is a link to see the bug :"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSTq8Xhe6Kc&"

Thanks for testing, I was wondering if this could have been related to root / unlocked bootloader somehow but you have confirmed this is not the case as it happens on a totally stock phone.
good catch there. same issue here.
at least a Google employee has responded to the topic created HERE. Maybe that will expedite then pushing out an update ASAP.
Hi.
I'm experiencing a nasty little bug when I try to reply to a message from a quick reply window when the screen is locked.
This is what happens:
If the screen is off and I get message in an app that has the quick reply feature in lock screen enabled, as soon as I tap the text field the screen starts flickering horribly, like switching very rapidly between the lock screen and the quick reply window trying to open the keyboard. It feels like the phone is going to explode. I first noticed this when trying out Telegram, I thought it was an issue with that particular app, but then I enabled the feature in Whatsapp just to test, and the same thing happened.
Could this be a Lollipop bug? I don't know much about this stuff, hopefully someone can shed some light here.
I'll try to upload a screen record later in case I'm not explaining myself (which is likely due to my limited English vocabulary).
EDIT: Ok, here's the screen record -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KI9d_PiQ9zA&index=1&list=UUJBPMHNSOxSqUiEkqtQiTRg (I know I should've covered my contact's name but I didn't know how to. I trust you won't murder her )
Thanks in advance.

Nexus 5 running Android 5.0 - No root
Ok, the problem is with the Keyboard (Swiftkey), Google keyboard works fine in this situation. It has already been reported in the Swiftkey forum.
lollipop flickers when replying whatsapp messages at lock screen
I do not have swiftkey installed in my nexus 5 but also having issue of flickering.

Hmm. Also with quick reply windows in lock screen?
Correct. Try to reply whatsapp message at the lock screen and the screen goes crazily flickering. It flickers then get frozen for 10 seconds or so. If I agree to send a report to Android, it allows me to unlock the phone, then minimize the reporting screen, goes into whatsapp to reply.

Have you tried with other apps with quick reply feature? If not, try it just to see. Also, what keyboard do you use? I don't see this with the Google stock keyboard

I use a keyboard called TouchPal. The problem only occurs when the screen gas security lock. If the screen is not locked, no issues.
I have the same issue with Nexus 4 and Swiftkey. Had to switch back to Google keyboard.
Exact same problem, different variables.
I have this EXACT same issue on my OPO. It occurs with my handcent popups windows and I use TouchPal. It looks like its flickering back and forth between the on screen notification of incoming texts and the popup window. If I disabled the notifications, the popup window still flickers.
From the sounds of the above posts, its not limited to which keyboard or app popup but more likely the lollipop lockscreen.... (I am running latest CM12 nightly but its been happening ever since Ive gone to lollipop)
Cant wait until this problem is pinned down.
Has anyone else got this bug? After locking the phone, the screen will stay active (even though the display is off) for around a second.
I've noticed the fingerprint icon flashes once after a second at the same time.
It's quite annoying if like me, you lock it and immediately shove it into your pocket within a second, as I sometimes unlock it to find I'm in an email or an app I didn't remember being in.

Yeah, but you need to be quite quick to trigger something on the screen. I tried to do it on purpose and I can replicate the issue 9 out of 10 times )).
Hoping for a fix in the next update.
This is getting worse. Screen stays active around 3 seconds after locking it. I can see there is a quick refresh of the lock screen when it's really locked. It's really annoying now as I feel like I need to wait for this until I can safely put it in my pocket.
this doesn't happen when using nova launcher's gestures (double tap => lock screen). maybe works with an 3rd party app from playstore too, or custom kernel with double tap to sleep or some magisk mod?

What lock method do you use in Nova? Accessibility, Device Admin, or root?
ouch, now you got me... I think it was accessibility. I took the one which enabled fingerprint usage after locking via nova gesture. I think it was accessibility, jep

Okay. accessibility or root. I still get that delay after locking, even with Nova double tap. It's just one blink a couple seconds after locking. I notice the clock blink once. Honestly, I wouldn't have even noticed it had it not been posted here..

Yep, I uses Nova double tap to sleep/Accessibility and do not have this issue
+1 on using Nova Launcher. I cannot produce this problem if i tried.
