a black screen with only charging time and fingerprint comes on when I single press the side button. What is this screen and how do I access setting for it. AOD is off and the lock screen displays after double tapping the aforementioned black screen.

When I am looking at homescreen, then press power button once, screen turns off. Now if I press the same button, I see lock screen with wallpaper, time and fingerprint

That actually answers my question.... thank you.
I feel, especially with AOD on, that it feels redundant somehow.

cant get rid of the lock screen pattern unlocker

I switched on the pattern unlock, now I dont want it... i unchecked it in settings and it is still there... sometimes i get the regular lock screen and then I will wake it up and it will have the pattern unlock!! btw the phone is completely stock. has any one had this problem? i have also did battery pulls to no avail!!
hah, sounds like mine. i have mine set to on and unless i press the power button to shut the screen off then it doesnt work.
if i let the screen time out the pattern lock doesnt work and its just the regular swipe screen.

You need to change the time out settings to immediately (settings,location and security,time out)
Original post,
You have to press on the menu item change screen lock enter your pattern then select none

Thanks, mine are set that way. it can sit for a hour or overnight and do the same thing.
That's not normal at all lol. There are two settings for time out....one under display and the other under security (just in case )
Otherwise who knows...sounds like you have a bunk unit

[Q] power/lock button on G2x

i know there is a setting to use the volume rocker buttons as unlock buttons, but that does not always work, but besides that is there anyway on the g2x to lock the screen but not have to use any button to unlock it? any app that will let you swipe a pattern to unlock the phone when the screen is off?

How would this be possible? If the screen is off, you can't use it, and thus you can't input anything, and if you can't use any buttons, then there's no way you can unlock it. What are you thinking about, voice recognition?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
no, i still want the phone to lock, i just dont want to have to push any buttons to get it to unlock, for the screen to come back on.
for example, i had a nokia nuron that had a slide switch on the side that would lock the phone, it turned the touchscreen off so you didnt accidentally start something. but it also had a screen timeout that would just blank the screen, then you could touch it and it would come back on without having to use the slide switch
i want to blank the screen without locking it. turning off screen lock you still have to use the button to turn the screen back on
I'm speechless!

This would also cause another problem. The screen being blank but still active would kill the battery really quickly.

well thats true, but it did work like that on my nokia. but really how much more battery would it use if the screen blanks but doesnt sleep? not anymore than if i was using it, probably even less
oh well, guess its just wishful thinking
How can you lock something, and use nothing to unlock it?
For example, you use a key to lock your door, you must use a key to unlock it. Or, you can leave the door open (leave the screen blank), but risk getting robbed (battery drained). I'm sorry if the analogy is bad, what you're asking for is ridiculous.

ok, i think what im doing is confusing blanking the screen with locking the phone, 2 different things. im just concerned that button is gonna get a lot of use and wish the volume rocker wake would work better. oh well
thanks for everyone's input, was just hoping
Blanking the screen like it reduces the brightness after a while? If so, there might be an app for it, but it will definitely reduce your battery greatly.
Either way, don't worry about the button. You probably won't have the phone that long, or you'll break something different.

Auto rotation

Sometimes my screen randomly acts like it wants to rotate and will black out for a second, do the rotation animation, then be normal. And its really random sometimes, like on home screen, app drawer, even when its laying flat. Its only about once or twice a day, so not a real big issue. Could jb fix this you think? It just started about a week ago, had the phone for 2 months.

Have you tried calibrating it?
Recalibrate the screen if you feel that the screen orientation does not respond properly to the way you hold HTC One X.
Slide the Notifications panel open, and then tap .
Tap Display (or Display & gestures) and then tap G-Sensor calibration.
Place HTC One X on a flat and level surface, and then tap Calibrate.
After the recalibration process, tap OK.
Just calibrate it,will solve your problem.
Press thanks if i helped you!

is there an application that mimics the motion/swipe (sg3) to do a screen capture

I got my wife to switch from her bogged down s3 to an n5 and she loves the speed and new device but misses some of her bells and whistles from the s3.
anyone know if there is a screen capture app that lets you swipe your hand on the screen (sg3 like) to catpure the screen?
thanks in advance.
Is there any way to do screen capture at all without root?

Yep, this was a stock ICS implementation I think
She thinks that's a bell or whistle? Its the most ridiculous way of doing a screenshot iv seen. My mate tried showing me to show off his phone
I just turned and did it the android way one handed and ripped him for a minute for looking like a fag xD

[Q] My Nexus 5 screen goes black and won't turn back on

I have a 2013 original Nexus 5 black launch and quite frequently the screen will go black and I have to squeeze and bend the phone for it to come back on.
I am hoping to find out if this is a software or hardware issue.
If anyone here can help with this it would be much appreciated.
Regards,
ab
It's definitely hardware.

It might be the power button
The power button opens the phone without the screen turning on because if I hold it it will vibrate into the power menu. Should I try disabling the power button to open the screen?
