Help Help: Pattern Screen Lock Problem on S2

[lstackers]

Hello,

Hoping someone can help me!
Bought a galaxy S2 a month ago and all was fine.

I put a pattern screen lock on and it worked perfectly until a couple of days ago, a white line started showing up horizontally along the top quarter of the screen. Today, it has become more problematic. When I now try and enter my pattern, it doesn't show me what I'm entering. What I mean is, the points do not light up green (or red) as I slide my finger over them. Why would this be? Luckily it still reads my pattern and as long as I do it right, which is hard when you can't see what it's reading, I can still unlock my phone.

I've tried disabling the lock then putting it back on. I've tried turning the phone off and taking the battery out but it doesn't help.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there anything I can do?

Thanks

There is a settings under "settings/location and security"

Look for the settings for "visible patterns" under lock screen. Just tick it.

I actually have mine without the patterns.

Hi. The white line is NORMAL it has been there as long as I can remember and it serves a purpose. This guide "What is the white line on a Samsung Galaxy S2 pattern lock screen?" explains it in full.

So stop worrying

It's just a separator line and perfectly normal.
