How do I stop my Lumia 1520 resuming to start screen?

How to stop Lumia 1520 resuming to start screen

Hope you can help. I have a Nokia Lumia 1520 which in the last couple of days has starting showing a 'resuming...' black screen when I turn the phone on before loading the start screen. I've tried turning the phone on and off, my phone has over 2gb of free memory, and I'm not part of the developer preview. I'm from the UK, and am running wp 8.1 (not denim).

Its a pesky problem that's starting to annoy me. Does anyone know how to fix this so the start screen loads instantly? Let me know if you need any extra info.

Hard reset cleared it..
Now works like butter....

Try turning on, then off: Kids corner

I don't know if you tried the live lock screen app, but that causes that problem

Same issue for me, by hard reset do you mean power plus volume down until restart?

Try this: Install Tetra Lockscreen, set it as the lockscreen, restart the phone, deregister Tetra and restart the phone again. This helped me with that

In settings-> about -> reset

Hmmm.. I'll just live with it then, because way too many apps don't backup their settings. Don't want to set everything up from scratch again. Thanks for the response though.

do the other suggestions before considering a hard reset!
this is something that's super common with people who uninstall a lockscreen app without disabling it first.
Enabling kid's corner will clean out what's causing the resuming. (and its on everyone's phone)
Then you can disable it again.

Just to say, I was the one who orginally posted this. Thanks for the reply Killer, this fixed the problem. You are right that it was the live lock screen issue, and enabling/disabling Kid's Corner fixed it. So for those with a similar problem, do this before resetting the phone!

Old thread, but just for completeness, unfortunately this wasn't the issue on mine. I had long ago done that fix after uninstalling tetra, but I tried it again anyway. No luck, I'm still getting a one-second resume once in a while. Thanks for the reminder about that fix though!

I had the same issue with my phone when I had ^lock screen beta^ app but when I uninstalled it the problem had been fixed !!
