I am using CM7 latest weekely every thing is perfect but now suddenly my phones screen turns on like call is coming and turns back off after 2 sec and this happens randomly.
is this expected behavior?
is there any work around?
My fiancee has an atrix that is totally stock and hers just started doing this yesterday. I would also like to know the answer to this. I was thinking it was a hardware issue with the power button but hopefully i am wrong, that way I dont have to mess with a warranty exchange. Any help would be appreciated.
by any chance have u just start using this app "Memory Booster - RAM Optimizer" if yes then this might be the one, i have just messed around in its settingsd and no screen wakup problems so far

No. The only apps that I think might cause this that I have on her phone is beautiful widgets and a data toggle. She has had these apps on there for awhile and the phone just started to act up.

Both me and my brother own atrix and it happens on both.It was happening on stock 2.3.4 and now on cm7 as well it must be something with the phone not a rom related issue
i also have beautiful widgets, can sk8trix conform that his and his brother phone have this app too. if yes then this might be the cause. or we have to tell each other whole list of apps that we have installed to narrow down the culprit.
On her phone I have all of her apps that are supposed to sync turned off. I recently installed data enabler for her so she would have a data toggle on her home screen. I use advanced task manager to kill her apps by force stopping them. Last night I used it and closed everything and turned her screen off. 5 minutes later it come on for about two seconds and shut off. I have been looking at what apps might be causing this and really dont see anything unusual except for the data enabler and beautiful widgets. I will uninstall both of those and report back later on to let you know the result. Hopefully someone else will come along with a better solution.

I don't use beautiful widgets ever.....I even tried with a clean install no apps installed except stock cm7 apps and google apps and it still happened so I gave up trying to figure it out.
it doesn't shorten my battery life at all so I don't worry however if there is a fix I will use it because it is annoying.
Edit the only time the phones wake up by themselves is right after we hit the power button to turn the screen off or when the phone firat boots and is still locked it will turn the screen off and turn it back on the dim again.
I dont think its cm7 issue cos i was at weekly # 4 and there was no issue then i flashed tuch recovery and after that boot it started happening. Then i flashed latest weekely and reverted back to old recovery. And i agree this only happen when i turn screen off (randomly)
OK here is where I am at now with this problem. I uninstalled both apps and it seems to be ok for the time being, but my fiancee told me she had been receiving weird messages in her notification bar. I looked into it and she was getting ads in her notification bar. So I downloaded AirPush Detector from the market and ran a scan on her phone and it detected a couple of apps pushing notifications. I got rid of the apps and now im back to checking the phone again. I dont know if that AirPush app would help you guys out or not but it would hurt to try.
since i have started this thread my problems have gone away like a little *****, and i dont know how to recreate this problem any more so i am stuck with no problem no solution thing.
12 hrs passed no problem so far.
It was apps in the background running. Airpush helped. I told her from now on no more free apps, i would rather buy them then fight this **** again. I put the data toggle and beautiful widgets back on her phone and it's ok. Thanks for your guys input.

I am having The same problem with my Samsung Galaxy ace Gt-5830i.
Earlier it had problems with charging and SD card. So we took it to authorized service center. And they said they had formatted the phone and installed stock ROM on it. They also replaced the charger port. But now after two days the phone screen is turning on and off at repeated intervals (for about 2 Seconds). So what might be the problem.

Today my X2 started having some random reboot problems.. Only thing I can think of that started it was yesterday evening I installed Lookout security.. Was wondering, is anyone using Lookout and if so, are you noticing your phone having random reboots?
Also would like to know if anyone else is having them as well.. very possible it is something different.. The wierd thing about the last reboot it had was it acted like it was a partial reboot.. What I mean by that is instead of showing the Motorola splash screen for the X2, it just showed the X2 boot animation then the Notification LED displayed a solid green light (Kinda like I recieved an email/text except it wasn't blinking). Anyone else see this happen and if so do you have any apps like Lookout installed.

Are you rooted? Stock phone? I know some people were having issues with random reboots and either a factory reset solved the problem or a new phone resolved the issue.
I am rooted.. it seems they stopped after uninstalling lookout though..
I'm stock and have had Lookout installed for just about 2 weeks and have been fine... until I update my bank of america app and installed titanium backup (in anticipation of rooting over the weekend). After that, it's been hit or miss. I uninstalled TB, but still have the problem. One day I'll be fine and the next I'll have 2-3 reboots or severe lag. I'm using launcher pro with the new blur app draw and have noticed I can't add apps to my home screen. It F/C's everytime. i have to use the LP app drawer to do this now. It worked for about a week without a problem. The only thing that keeps my hanging on to this phone is the hope we will get a SBF soon and Liberty will pump out rom for us. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
The only reboots I've had were with the camera app. Fixing the lag and LP problems can be done by installing Script Manager from the app store, then downloading the V6 Supercharger script and choosing option 6. Reboot, run it again, option 6 again. Each time you reboot, just give the script a run. Cleans up a lot of the performance problems. It's recommended that you NOT have the script automatically run at startup in case something goes wrong. You must be rooted.

Hi, I don't know if anyone else had experienced these problems, but I'm having strange sense force closes every time I restart the phone. It gives me time to put the sim card and screen passwords, works for about 30 more secs and then f**ks up... Same thing happens over and over even after a factory reset, I've probably sent more than 10 reports to htc already. On top of that, today - two more things happened: the clock on the top right corner next to the battery icon just stopped at 1:57 although the screen one was working fine. It started working again after a restart (and another sense force close), and finally - when I turned on the WiFi, the 4g icon didn't disappear, so now I have both icons in the notification bar...
I haven't tried to root it, neither have I unlocked the bootloader. It's the way I got it + several more apps. Anybody else having the same or similar issues?

Swap it out at tmo. You should still be in your 14 day return period.

First hour I had my phone it reset/reboot 4 times while I was playing with it. It was stock, didn't restore my backup from my Vibrant. After the 4th reset, I packed it up and decided to exchange it at Tmo. I then decided to do a factory reset. After that, the phone worked fine without any weird reboots. 3 days later, I downloaded the HTC software update. As soon as the update was done, I messed around with the phone and it reset twice on me. I exchanged it the next day. My new one works perfectly! Go exchange it!
I think I may have found the reason for the Sense force closes:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183877
I was using Juice Defender Ultimate... Since the clock and the Wifi/4G icons are part of the Sense interface, perhaps this app is the reason for the other problems as well... What bugs me though is that my girl's Amaze is also running the same app with no problems whatsoever...
Hello,
I rooted the phone usin gExynosAbuse.apk and now I noticed that the screen will stay on even after some use. I set the display to go off after 1 min. FYI, Motion is OFF and Stay Awake is NOT checked in the development settings.
If the phone is freshly restarted the screen will go off after the set amount of time. However, after some use (not sure what triggers it), the screen would stay on until I pressed the lock/pwr button.
Any idea why?
Thanks.
You have an app keeping it on. Time to go through your list and find it
Thanks for the answer.
That sounds like a pita. I guess there is no other way than run an app and see if the problem comes back, repeat for all the app I have installed?
Well, think back to when the problem first occurred. As long as you weren't configuring apps at the time, its likely to be the last installed app.
Otherwise, you could do what I did when I had an app deodexing my /data/app directory every boot:
Uninstall them in groups until the issue goes away.
You could also take a look at your wakelocks, and narrow it down further that way. The phone definitely isn't sleeping when the screen is on.
Yeah, the thing is I just got this phone and after rooting I went crazy with app installs lol.
Guess will have to take my time to weed out the problem.
Thanks again!
Hope you find it.
After 70 apps, I gave up and just wiped data and started over when I had my issue, LOL.
My One freezes on me and completely locks up from time to time, mostly when using the browser. It seems that it has been happening more and more frequently. When it happens, I have to keep jamming the home button to get out of it. I always reboot right after it happens hoping to clear it up but sometimes it happens again within an hour or so. It happened on my first One too but I thought it might have had something to do with the ROM I flashed. I'm stock rooted on this one and it is still happening. Does this happen to anyone else?

I haven't had the phone completely freeze, but have noticed the stock browser will hang up. I am however, able to just press the home button, then enter recent apps menu to close the browser.
Sorry to not have the same exact problem, but that has been my experience thus far. I'm sure it's just a small bug.

Weird things happen on mine while I have flash player active... I have no problems with enable flash player unchecked in the menu. I only activate it when I really need it which is rare anyway. The browser doesn't need to be restarted after activating it, it just refreshes the page so it not really inconvenient to leave it off until I need it.
Mostly some rogue app.. Just give a list of apps you have and we (users without randoom reboots or hangs) will point out the apps which we have not installed so that you can narrow down to the issue-causing app
I'm having a similar problem
My htc one crashes & reboots a few and even sometimes several times a day. Once in awhile I'll even have to boot from recovery mode as the phone has trouble restarting. It also starts do a bunch of screen captures as a restarting message appears. I've done a factory restart and still experiencing the same problem. I love this phone but am getting so frustrated. Bought my girlfriend the same phone she has never experienced this issue. I think it is either a problem with an app I have installed or possibly an overheating issue (I work outside in the sun, my phone gets pretty warm in my pocket). I'm close to doing a warranty exchange, just hoping its an app problem.
Sounds like an app to me. My last phone did that when an app would crash.

Maybe it's some applications conflicting with one another. Or a bad app.
I am stock. No root. I got my htc one before the official launch and it has not froze up or did random reboots. Knock of wood.

I don't think it's an app. I've deleted a whole bunch and froze others and it still happens to me all the time. I have nothing on my One that isn't on my One X and the One X has never frozen on me, EVER. One thing I've noticed is it only happens when using data- stock browser, Chrome, and Pulse news. It doesn't happen any other time. I drove from Colorado to Kansas yesterday and it must have frozen up on me 10-15 times during the entire 8 hour trip. It's getting really frustrating. When I have time I am going to nandroid and wipe and see if it happens on a bare phone, but my money is on that it will.
I'm currently having this issue and it's really frustrating, I had it first on the Galaxy S3 with 4.2.1 stock rom, I don't know if it might be an app that might be causing this, basically when i lock the phone the screen turns off but then when i press the power button or the home button to turn on the screen it does not do anything, I know the phone is still on because sometimes if i get a text message i can see the blue led blinking and it will continue to blink even when it's frozen.
The only way to bring it back is by holding the power and home button together in order to reset it.
I tried factory reset and it would not work, I flashed the phone with a custom rom for Paranoid Android 4.3 and it worked great for about a week, no issues at all, but then it started freezing when locked again. I hate this and i'm thinking it might be a hardware issue since I've tried different software versions.

Even worst, if i'm listening to music and i lock the phone or if the screen times out and locks when i try to unlock it i can see it's stuck but the music is still playing....
Also, if the phone is stuck and i try to call it, it will not ring not turn the screen on, it's not like the problem is just the physical buttons, i don't know what to do since the phone is out of warranty, I have never dropped the phone and there is no damage on it, it have never over heat either so i don't know what can i do.....
Any suggestions or help would be really appreciated.

Thank you for the reply, do you know specifically what kind of hardware problem was it? Were you able to fix it or you just had it replaced?
no not yet sorry...

But it's really strange, It is a hardware issue and it should affect all the time, not randomly i would think... I don't know if the problem is with the processor or the buttons, i don't know how to determine that..

The first week with Paranoid Android 4.3 it worked greatm even faster than the stock rom and I also liked it because it is android 4.3, the issue started one week after, and i'm thinking that during the first week i did not install all the apps i use, once i installed all the apps it started happening.
The first time i had the issue was right after the facebook messenger app was updated, i tried uninstalling it and the issue was still happening, if i check the running apps and i can see several of my apps running in the background such as Facebook messenger, Viber, Skype, Avast (6 services) Applock, GO weather EX, whatsapp, Facebook.
Maybe i'm just reluctant to think that this is a hardware issue, cause there is no way for me to get some logs or a hardware report that may show any crashes or anything.. I like this phone, it have everything i need and i refuse to think that it's a piece of crab but i've had nothing but troubles with it since day 1...
I dont think it is SW problem because even flashing multi package stock firmware doesn't fix the issue.I tried replacing lcd and display driver but still remain unsolved.
Edit:I think there is a defective sensor chip which I don't have a unit to test already.
hello, i have same issue, and stil stuck with it, anyone can help me?
