Why can't I get past the unlock screen?

[AC Question]

cant get past unlock screen

My Moto G (2nd Gen?) shows the slide to unlock screen, up to unlock, left for camera and right for emergency call.
No matter what I do, it will only allow camera or call, it won't unlock

Welcome to Android Central! How far up are you swiping? Do a really exaggerated swipe up from the center bottom of the screen and see if that works.

Have you updated to Lollipop 5.1.1

I have to swipe up to get the locked screen and then swipe my pattern on the dots to get into my phone. A two action process replacing a one action one.

Dah.
