missing number pad on lock screen - unable to unlock [answered]
dear co-sailors,
today an error-message was prompted on my aquafish (converted jolla c) on SFOS 2.1.3.3. it said something about me not being able to make phone calls and that this could only be restored by a restart. i remember having had that error message once before (don't recall when/which device/version/etc.), therefore i did indeed reboot the phone. unfortunately since after the reboot the number pad on the lock screen is missing. the phone boots just fine, even connects to the mobile phone network. from start/status screen i can swipe into the camera app or the ambience-selection also just fine. swiping left or right just brings up an empty page, where otherwise the number pad appears. it tried punching in my number combination blindly, in case the number pad might just have been completely opaque or something like that - to no avail, no feedback.
maybe also worth mentioning: i have the pattern unlock patch installed, yet not activated - so i use a number combination to unlock my phone. also wifi is disabled therefore i wont be able to ssh into the phone and poke around.
pointers (or a straight fix) are much aprechiated, as i couldn't find anything on together (might be pebcak, though).
cheers, fl0rp
in my case it was related to mazelock patch
when ever.i did activate it the empty pannel would appeaer. not from the beginning since approx one.month.
the only.workaround was as you did describe, recovery uninstall all patches and reboot
