Since a while back, the keyboard on my lockscreen has a tendency to sometimes freeze. If I press the lock button on top of the phone and unlock it again, it usually (but not always) works.

Possibly relevant background info:
I dropped my phone and got a hairline crack from the lower left corner almost all the way to the mid-right side of the screen; I can't remember if I had the problem before that, or if it occurred at that time. I subsequently got the screen replaced by a non-Apple repair shop and half hoped the problem would go away with the new hardware, but it has persisted. I have upgraded iOS since (both point releases and major versions), but I haven't reinstalled the phone from scratch.

Googling, I saw some threads on the entire phone freezing, requiring a hard boot, but nothing on my symtoms. Am I alone about this, or do others just live with this problem without speaking up?
