Some of the most common lock screen issues and their fixes:

Problem #1: Galaxy S6 Edge Plus takes more time for unlocking

Normally when you press on the lock button on the phone and then the light of the buttons lit up and the screen still takes 10-20 seconds to light up, then you must be facing this problem. Sometimes you will also be notified with TouchWiz Home is not responding message.

Solution

This type of lock screen problem is because the phone’s processor is lagging. The main reason behind it is maybe because of the multiple applications running in the background. So before doing anything else, make sure you have rebooted your phone. This will help to shut down the non-system related apps. And also, make sure the phone rests for like 5 minutes before you switch it on back again.

If the above step doesn’t help, try to wipe the cache partition and this process will delete the temporary files that are present in the system. You can perform this step by booting the phone into recovery mode. Turn the phone off and turn it back on by pressing Power + Volume Up + Home button. Let the phone vibrate, release the power button and keep pressing other two buttons until the small menu appears. Select the Wipe Cache Partition option and you can scroll down using the Volume Down button and use Power Key to select it. Once it’s done, select the Reboot System option and the phone will be back to normal.

This is another common problem that many of the Smartphone users are facing. Once the phone is locked the notification such as messages, alerts, emails won’t show up on the screen. Although, the sound and LED light will turn on but the screen will remain blank.

Solution
