Phone Not Locked Until Woken #96

Rather than locking the phone when the screen turns off, the "lock screen" is not active until after the phone is re-woken, with a noticeable delay. If any other interface was previously on-screen (if the sceen was not turned off from the NFC Lock Screen itself), the previous screen is briefly visible. At a bare minimum, this could allow an attacker access to anything on screen. Additionally, it looks bad.

I have noticed this as well

It sounds more like a device issue than anything else. The unlock app by nature does not block access to the phone until it is woken. The answer to this is to use good behaviours when locking the phone, exit all programs and apps beforehand.

This is just the way things work. We cant really do stuff wit the screen off, we have to wait until the screen comes on. Lokki is on point with his comment.
