Blank lock screen/missing unlock icon

I have HTC Sense disabled on my Today screen so it looks like a basic today screen. When I lock the phone, it shows the sliding unlock icon. When I slide to unlock I need to enter my PIN to use the phone (forced due to work email security). Sometimes when I turn the phone back on after the screen has turned off due to inactivity, the screen is blank (the sliding unlock icon isn't visible). The only things I can see are the top row (clock, speaker icon, signal/data icon, battery remaining icon, QuickMenu icon, and Start button). None of the items in the top row respond except for QuickMenu, but nothing in there functions since it is still locked. I end up having to soft reset the phone. I am using the most current stock ROM WM6.5.
Anyone seen such a problem or know how to fix it? Is there a program like QuickMenu that has an "unlock" link in the menus? I wonder if that could be a workaround. Thanks.

[Q] Face unlock on CyberGR ICS

I have tried ICS on HD2 before but it did not have front cam so this would be my first time trying face unlock.
On CyberGR ICS, I have noticed when I turn on the screen with a push of a power button, the screen would show either numeric pads or pattern screen on bottom half of the screen depending on which you choose as your secondary unlock.
Now I can only see my mouth on screen thus I have no idea if I am facing the camera at the right angle etc because bottom half of the screen is filled with numeric pad or pattern pad. Is this normal?
Is there an option to hide the secondary (pin or pattern)unlock screen on bottom while the phone tries to recognize my face initially?
When I see ICS commericals, the face unlock showes the full screen of the person' s face before it moves unto secondary unlock screen (either pattern or pin).

Launch bar shortcuts problem

Hey,
I have a problem with the launch bar with my One S.
The thing is that, the shortcuts i drag on the launch bar will also appear on the lock screen, but one icon doesn't change on the lock screen.
I had my girlfriends quick contact on the launch bar, changed it to an app, but on the lock screen, there is still the shortcut for her quick contact.
It only changes in the lock screen, when i make a folder out of it. Single shortcuts turn back to her quick contact(only on lock screen, when unlocked the icon is what i changed it to)
Funny thing is that there is only problem with the 2nd-from-right slot. All other slots change as i want.
Any ideas? Have tried all sorts of tehniques, like switching the lock screen shortcut option on & off, restarting several times, cleared cache of lockscreen apps, changed lock screens, etc.
Factory reset definately would help, but this is a last resort
Thanks in advance

Why does my status bar text turn black on home screen?

In every app I run the status bar text (time, battery, signal etc) is white and nicely visible, until I go back to the home screen where it turns black and I cannot read anything anymore.
Stock theme or custom themes all share the same issue
Any ideas? Going crazy
