Why is my lock screen scrambled sometimes? Occasionally my phone (specs below) will awake to the dots on the lock screen being all the way up in the corner. I can't unlock it because the other 6 dots are cut off and turning the phone or sleep/awaking it doesn't change the layout. My only option, annoyingly, is to restart. 

Here's an image of it doing it this morning:

The white chunk is an ICE number I've hidden. How do I stop this? 

My phone is:


A Samsung Galaxy S2X SGH-T989D on Koodo
Running Android version 4.0.4
Kernel Version 3.0.8-perf-T989DTLLG2-CL836160 se.infra@SEP-89#1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jul 13 23:39:44 KST 2012
Build Number IMM76D.TLLG2 
Using a stock lock screen 


Thanks for any assistance.
My best guess would be an issue that is causing part of the render process of slide lock to take place in landscape mode. I have no idea why that would happen although I have had some strange screen rotation issues with my nexus 7 and a factory reset did indeed fix it.

But since you don't want to turn to that here are some suggestions:

-Try locking rotation on your phone (unlocking when needed)

-Switch your lock screen to PIN or password (there error could be isolated to the slide password).

-Upgrade to a new version of android using kies (it should be available)

Let me know if any of those work out
