Hey so ive had my GN since launch, and absolutely loving it. Ive had a few minor issues, but overall an excellent experience.

One issue that i am having (admittedly a very small one) is that the CRT animation on the lock screen has stopped working. Instead of getting the nice CRT affect when locking the screen, it just turns off.

I cant seem to pinpoint why this has happened. I noticed it after i tried face unlock (i wanted to see how it worked and am no longer using it), but i don't know if that is what caused it.

Has anyone heard of this happening and does anyone have any tips on getting the lock screen animation back? Thanks
 
Like i said, its a small problem, but i like the animation and see no reason for it to stop working randomly.

And to answer the constructive answer, no i didnt change any settings that i know of.

Where could i look to make sure i didnt?

Go to Settings---Developer Options---Windows Animation Scale
Ensure it is not set to Off. The default is 1. The higher the number the slower the windows animations are...Same with Transition Animation Scale.

And here I was thinking that animation, while fun, was kind of silly and unnecessary...
And this shows exactly why we are all different.

When that CRT animation first came out a year ago on other devices, I remember seeing over 100 threads just in one phone section on how to enable it.

What one person likes, another dislikes or is ambivalent to it, etc.
