sometimes unresponsive shell after idle

<jdstrand> kgunn: so, phone is in my pocket for a while. I pull it out. I press the power button. I can swipe the screen and unlock but I can't open the launcher, switch applications, etc
(it happened to me 3 times while I was out)
<kgunn> jdstrand: mmm....sounds different, like the shell died
<jdstrand> I do see the hint that the launcher is there-- when I unlock, it opens slightly then hides
 I think I saw that...
 phone is working ok atm
 jdstrand: did it "recover" on its own ?
 like...you couldn't use spread...and then 30 secs later you could?
<jdstrand> kgunn: I let it sit for maybe 10 minutes. I had to hard reboot by long pressing the power button. when confirmation came up to poweroff, it wouldn't respond. so I had to hold the power button for a long time to force it off
<jdstrand> kgunn: I had been living with this for a couple of weeks nad it was very frustrating-- then I saw that bug about input that was on the list (kgunn pretty sure this means bug 1295623 ) , subscribed to it, and it seemed fixed when it hit the images. I don't know if it is related, or luck, or what :)
 kgunn: note, I could interact with the foreground app

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

FYI, this happened to me yesterday with rtm, mako, r54.

I'll reiterate that this happens after being in my pocket. Also, I have a passcode set, if that makes a difference.

haven't had any sightings on krillin, but might be worth "trying"

This happened again last night. I locked the screen, put the phone in my pocket and then after a while tried to use the phone. The screen was 'frozen' on the 'swipe to unlock' screen and did not repsond to edge gestures. I then held the power button and got the 'Power off Reboot Cancel' dialog, but it wouldn't respond to taps. mako rtm r57.

this sort of feels like a duplicate of bug 1408263
is there anything in this description that would prevent us from dup'ing ?

[Michał Sawicz (saviq)]

The part where it "wouldn't respond to taps" suggests there something more than just the edges going awry.

I had a similar issue today.

I was using the phone to listen to music with headphones (walking to work, just to set the scene).

I unplugged the headphones when I reached the office, did my usual pre-work faff of making a cup of tea etc. When I went to use the device the screen would turn on but I couldn't enter my passcode into the lock screen. Had to hold the power button to do ao hard reboot.
