Default [Q] Lock Screen cut off and off center

I've been running into an odd glitch with the lock screen every now and then. The visuals on the lockscreen are shifted up halfway, and the bottom half is black.

If that doesn't make sense(ha ha, pun), the ring pull is in the center of the screen, and the top half is pushed off the screen.

The touch spots for the icons and ring are still at the bottom, however. So I need to press in the blackness below and slide from there. Everything animates properly, but it's rather clearly not right. Plus, anything I have set to display on the screen (weather, clock, etc) isn't visible and so kinda useless. Changing lockscreen types doesn't seem to clear it, I have to do a restart.

Anyone else run into this before? I'm willing to bet a factory reset cleans this up, but I'd like to leave that as a last ditch effort.

I would suggest resetting the device back to factory. At least all of your apps would re-sync to the phone.

I was changing ringtones today and the display went off because I stopped for a second. I went to turn it back on and the lock screen had the lock at mid screen and wouldn't unlock. Had to pull the battery.

Even tho the ring appears in the middle, you can unlock it just like its at the bottom and it will unlock. Mine has done simular where there bottom half is just black.

Yes this happens to me too sometimes. not often though. Once i restart the phone it goes back to normal. not a big issue for me.
