    Default Require pattern not working


    All of a sudden, the require pattern function to unlock from "sleep" mode in not functioning. A press of any button turns the phone on. Not great if I have it my pocket. Also noticed that if I'm on one of the side screens and I press the home button, it won't go to the middle screen anymore.

    Anyone else have this issue? What to do?

    I had the same issue after my battery died one day. Factory reset time.

    I also notice just now that the task manager won't launch at all. What happens with a factory reset? What's lost? All apps, settings, etc...?

    Unfortunately a Factory reset (or hard reset) will restore your phone back to the original settings. Yes you will lose the info.
