Help Strange stock lock screen behaviour after Jelly Bean update

[jaydee77ca]

Hi, I have a Rogers Galaxy S3 and updated to Jelly Bean on the weekend. I have been using Nova Launcher and Widget Locker with no issues since I got my Galaxy S3 a few months back. However, now I notice that either the stock wallpaper or stock lock screen flash on the display for a brief moment once in a while. It's the blue background with the dandelions on it.

Here's an example:

1. Receive an SMS text notification
2. Pull down the notification bar
3. Click the notification
4. Just before text app launches the stock lock screen flashes on the screen for a split second
5. Text app launches

It doesn't happen all the time, but I'd say a good 50-75% of the time. And it's quite distracting.

I've also noticed that if I lock the phone by pressing the power button, then press the power button again to unlock the phone then WidgetLocker shows and I can slide to unlock.

However, while the phone is locked if I press the physical home button instead of the power button it turns on the phone and shows the home screen bypassing WidgetLocker. I don't remember it ever doing this before. Did something change? Or maybe I have a setting messed up somewhere?

Has anyone else had any of these kinds of issues?

Thanks!

i got an issue similar before the jellybean update.

i tryed to change the wallpaper
i tryed deleting the wallpaper
i tryed to use a different lockscreen
i tryed restoring the device.

none worked. but when update it went away.

So the Home button issue seems to be a known issue with WidgetLocker on Jelly Bean: Widget Locker problem with JB? - Android Forums at AndroidCentral.com

Not sure about the stock lock screen flashing when apps load though, that is annoying! :/

Same issue here. I'm rooted (temp unroot before the 4.1.1 VZW upgrade) and for a while, the superuser app had a bug which kept logging a popup notification every time the system (logged as "shell") did something at root level, which mostly seemed to correlate to me switching to a new app.

Now the popup is gone, and I see nothing in the superuser log since Dec 13, but the lockscreen background flashes in a similar manner when switching apps which aren't in active memory.
