Anyone ever see this on their lock screen?

This is the image that I see when my Verizon S5 locks up. Every version of Nougat that I have tried except Cosmic ROM causes the lock up.

The lockups most often happen when I'm moving. Typically when I install the ROM and set it up in my house it is stable (until I leave home). The problem happens when I'm on the go. The only remedy is a battery pull.
Had anyone an idea concerning what can cause this screen?

Either avoid using magnets in your clothes / bag / etc.
Or just disable SView Flip Cover in the settings.
I don't see that exactly. Under settings there is:
Flip Case

Under Flip Case there are three areas:
Behaviour
Design
Timeouts

I turned the flip case switch off at the top of this settings area. Is that all I need to do?

Is the phone locking up due to this feature a bug?

Thanks for the help.

SView Flip Cover is a product by Samsung.
Different ROMmakers may call it "case" or whatever.

Yes, you've done everything correctly.

In Lineage I find no setting to control this. There is a system app called:

org.lineageos.flipflap

I can't freeze this with Titanium Backup. Freezing it may be a solution but how can I control/ freeze it to see if turning it off is a fix?

I removed this system app with a System app remover by Jumobile. It is in the Playstore and requires root, but I have been up and running for 2 days with no lockup. Thanks again for bringing the Sview issue into my awareness.

You are using a non Samsung battery aren't you? This happens with my wife and I's phones from time to time when using the non stock battery.

Limeaide, you are correct about the battery but even though I still have my original Samsung battery there is no way for me to test your theory. Since disabling the part of the OS that reacts to the magnetic battery flap via the SView "app" I haven't had the lock ups.

A funny aside is that I wanted to get to a Nougat ROM because I was having some bizarre wake up issues with the Marshmallow ROM I was using. In retrospect I realize those issues were also related to taking the phone out of the magnet containing belt pouch.
