Anybody have an issue with random wake ups? I have noticed if my phone is just sitting itself it turns on itself as if I were getting a text or a call and ends up being nothing, I know my proximity sensor works well during calls, but can not figure out why the screen wakes. Anyone know a fix or a setting for this?

This just started happening to me today. Not sure what's going on. Nothing is different, stock rooted rom. No new apps. Same case.
Check for wake lock and clear the cache on any apps that look like they are causing wakelock and reboot phone
Did all that, I'm waiting to see if it does it again.
Okay found a new one this morning. Looks like something to do with Google maps
Edit: definitely not Google maps. AudioOut_3 is the culprit. I looked on Google and it happens a lot on a variety of different phones. There are a lot of different ideas on what it is too. Some say it's ringtone related, some say it's music player related. Anyone have any ideas?
This is after clearing maps
After listening to music force close the app you are using, after playing games or anything else that uses media services, sometimes even after task manager ends the app for more resources the services stay on. I think its so the the os feels more responsive. It's like HTC camera, launch it from a clean reboot and it will take a lot longer for the first startup then it will for subsequent start ups.
That's good advice, but this screen shot was taken before opening anything, fresh reboot, about 30 minutes on but screen off.
Well I can't think of anything else that uses audioout_3
It must be starting up after boot-up. My main player is playerpro.
I think I discovered my issue, the past week I've been flashing different roms and I have started using the superwipe zip. I had issues with each rom I flashed. Last night I reflashed the stock rom, only wiping and not using superwipe and it seems to have fixed whatever issues I was having. I'm not saying it's the superwipe, but I may have a bad download of it, or it doesn't like my phone. I'll be keeping an eye on it for awhile and report back.
Ok scratch that. It must be an app doing it. I think it might be a game called 'plague inc.' it doesn't seem to affect battery life, but it is annoying.

I had similar issue,
in my case, mp3 downloader's ad Notification was waking up my screen,
I found it out by using app "Wakelock detector" WLD at GooglePlay
you need to check for "full wakelocks", check the screenshot
SD Card Corruption
I have had the same issue on my EVO 4G LTE and just got a replacement device... still having the same problem. MY SOLUTION: Removed my SD card which recently was corrupted. This fixed my issue. Apparently the phone would register an SD card inserted every 20 seconds or so because it couldn't fully read it, waking it from sleep mode. Hope this helps!

The past couple of days I've been noticing a couple of quirks with my phone and want to make sure that it's either not just me or some kinda bug in the UI.
The first one is with the speaker. In a couple of different games, when I click around, they'll play some sound. But sometimes, and I've only noticed this two separate times in the past week, the sound will interchange between really quiet and normal volume. I know this info doesn't really help much, but I don't know if it's a battery saving feature of the UI or what.
The more troubling issue regarding sound happened to me today. I was in the middle of a game and the sound just turned off completely. It wasn't muted and I clicked on the rocker to see if I had done so by accident, but nothing came out. I even checked with other games and by testing my ringtone. The only way I was able to remedy this was by restarting. I'm hoping these are purely software based and not my phone's speaker dying. :S
The second thing is less detrimental but weird. Two times today, while playing games, the lights on my dedicated button bar on the bottom would be off. I would exit the game, mess around on the home screen but nothing would bring them back aside from locking and unlocking the phone.
These are not complaints by any means, just a couple quirks I've recently come across that are hopefully universal in some form. Pardon my pickiness.
Ive been getting that sound issue also i was using navigation i basically restarted my phonealso

Thanks for your confrimation on that one.
In case anyone is interested, I think I discovered the button bar lighting issue. I notice it being off today and not turning back on. I then realized that based on the ambient brightness, the light sensor on the top of the phone will either light up the bar or not. Pretty awesome way for it to save some battery.
I've had the sound issues as well. Not a deal breaker to me, but annoying. The issue with audio being low when recording video bothers me a lot tho.

I had the sound issue when clicking when I was stock. It was intermittent and reboot would fix the issue. Haven't seen the others but usually play games on mute.
Discovered a couple more quirks over the course of the week. Would like to know of anyone else has experienced them.
I have the Facebook app (not the HTC Sense one) synced with my contacts. This way, I can fill in photos for the contacts I don't have photos for. But for some, I'd like to use the Gmail icon I made for them. I'll switch it in the linked settings, but after a while, it'll revert back to their Facebook icon. I'm assuming this is a bug with how the app syncs with my contacts?
The second thing is in the stock SMS app. Two times now, over the course of the week, I've clicked to open a particular thread and it instead opens up another one in my list that I didn't click on. I'm fairly sure this isn't user error as I've seen the thread that I want to open up highlight, but I could be crazy.

I have had this happen as well. Something is amiss with sound.
I am creating this new thread because I haven't seen anything similar for the SGS II.
I can't pinpoint the exact moment when this started (before I rooted the phone), but my screen started turning on and off on its own.
Note that it is only the screen turning on/off, not the phone.
Has anybody experienced the same problem?
Any suspicion on the applications you have installed that may lead to this issue, third-party IM running in the background maybe; Skype, eBuddy, etc.
lol root whould have nothing to do with random reboots. What tweaks youve done since rooting might be the issue or maybe a rouge app.
The "rooting" part was just in case anybody asked
Yes, I installed Skype, but the anomaly started quite a bit after. No tweaks, couple of programs that shouldn't affect anything. The thing is that it does pretty often for two hours and then stops
I will report later when I will have more time to observe the pattern.
Have you opened vlingo voice control app? My phone started flipping out after running that app once. It messed with my screen and gps.

Well I don't have Vlingo, but the default program that comes with the phone (Voice talk, Voice command).....yes! That could be it. It did start around the time I was messing around with it (I still haven't tried the GPS).
Do you still have the problem or did you solve it?
I opened it to trying to find name of app, and all of a sudden my gps turned on and screen lite up.
Hi there,
i have a SIII and i'm having a strage situation with it.. although the screen is off (no wi-fi, no data, just idle) sometimes the screen turns on, without even touching it, and off again (after the seconds that it usually takes to turn the screen off when no one touches it). This can happen 10/15 times in a row with no specific interval between them (but usually just a few seconds). And then just stops for hours..
i have NFC turned off as i though maybe i had something that would send a signal..
when it turns on, if i check the phone, there aren't any notifications at all..
anyone has seen this situation in this phone??
thanks in advance
I had it ones. I figured it happened when live wallpaper was enabled. Wallpaper was from the market, not from original firmware. It never happened with stock wallpapers though.
So if you have live wallpaper, try disabling it and see if problem persists.
I call this an android virus. This mostly happens when you install an app (most probably a free app) and it just keeps on running in the background. It keeps on turning the screen, so monitor when the problem started and remove any recent installed app one by one.
I also had this situation. When i installed a custom rom, the problem just vanished.
thanks, i will try and give some feedback
having the same problem and still have no idea what is causing it.......
I'm completely stock aswel.this is very annoying when it happens

Hey everyone,
Has anyone else been experiencing lag on their Optimus G when they scroll through settings, contacts, messages, or apps? On my phone i consistenly get some stutter when I scroll through the settings menus and I wanted to know if this was normal. I am on my second Optimus G after my first one had overheating issues and this one now seems to have some lag issues for some reason. Is this even possible? or am I being overly obsessive over this? I love the phone and if i do take it back it would be for another Optimus G I am just wondering if what I am experiencing is normal.
Thanks for the replies,
yidavs
I do see this once in a while.

Thrown up by my LG Optimus G, why you jelly at my superior phone?
But this isnt a lag per se I guess, its a stutter, I dont notice it when opening things up, it just when i scroll through screen, especially settings, its stutters a bit. I think I am just being paranoid.

That's called ICS. Mine does it too. Haha.
If the phone is charging it tends to act strange. So if it is charging try getting a multitouch visualizer and try using more than one finger, it doesn't like to recognize some taps and multiple fingers. (The best way to reduce this is to use the stock LG cord and plug, I was using an older one and the phone was almost unusable, still sneaks in on the LG ones though).
If this is happening off the charger... I am sorry to hear that, I haven't noticed anything of the sort.
But I am on The Base with Nocturnal Mods (not sure if there are any performance tweaks in here or more just audio/visual candy) and am using a third party launcher.
Well firstly, I am using stock software, so ICS with LG's UI over it with no mods. Secondly, I was able to find a place where it lags every time: when I scroll between the sound and display settings. This makes me think it may only be a software issue and should be fixed with Jelly Bean when we do get it eventually. Although strangely enough, now my battery life is really bad, like it wont even last me a day where as a week ago it would last me a day and a half

Are you using the tabbed settings (I'm not sure, but I think AT&T made this... may explain why it doesn't work as well, you can get the default settings menu by just pressing the menu button in the main menu screen and selecting list view (or whatever the only option there is called).
Also, Are you getting wake locks or anything?
I just today had mediaserver DESTROY my battery (like 20% in an hour) and it was second only to android OS in my battery usage info.
I seem to have fixed it though (it didn't go away with a reboot). I had to freeze media storage, boot into recovery and clear my caches, reboot and restart media storage.
I also deleted a song I had downloaded from a youtube video (it was the only new thing I had downloaded it a day or so and thought the conversion may have corrupted the file which is a suspected culprit of media storage rescanning forever).

Thanks for the settings advise, i did it and now it doesnt stutter when i scroll through it. As for the battery life, I am not sure how to do any of what you suggested. Are you asking whether i am getting any lag when waking up? is that what you mean by wake locks?

I'm glad the settings thing worked.
And for the other things, you would have to be rooted and unlocked with an app manager program like titanium backup pro or ultimate backup pro.
Pretty much, a wake lock is an app or process that keeps the phone awake even when the screen is off, using the battery when it should be sleeping.
If you go into settings>power saver>battery use you can see what is using your battery.
Android OS is high on this phone, then next should probably be screen and so on by what uses the most resources on your phone.
One of the big culprits (at least for me) was mediaserver, it was using a lot of power.
Another possible cause for battery drain on this phone is the way AT&T and this phone handles a data connection called fast dormancy (I believe this is for if you have 3G, not sure tough). There is an app that can fix that, but you have to be rooted for that to work I believe.
And you could have installed another app that is keeping the phone on, even if the screen is off.

Thank you for the advice, today my battery life was better, but looking at the battery use break down my "google services" was the highest. I mean it was higher than Android OS which i have never seen before. Wifi was second which is understandable since I was on my college campus all day and then came Android OS. What does this include and is there anyway to reduce this?
I've been having an audio issue on this phone and it's getting quite irritating.
If I use the stock Music app or the Google Play Music app to listen to music and turn the screen off, eventually the audio gets cut out. The only way to fix it is by closing the music app entirely and reopening it. But once I turn the screen off, the issue comes back.
Someone on the OnePlus One forum had the same issue on their HAM2, but they said it went away. I've had my phone for almost month now and it's still here. I've tried the normal power saving mode, and both music apps don't show up in the protected apps list.
There's also a Bluetooth audio issue. Once connected to a Bluetooth device, the music skips around.
Anyone else have this/these issue(s)?

I've ordered a HAM2 but don't have it yet, but this is really an Android issue (there's still a BT skipping issue in KK 4.4 when playing music from an SD card in devices with an SD card slot). Some users with different phones have reported success in stopping the skipping by going into BT settings and choosing "visability timeout" and moving that setting to "never timeout." Good luck.

Weird, my previous 3 year old phone with 4.4.4 didn't have this issue. All the music was on the SD card too.
I'll try the BT later and see if it still happens.

In another forum, a person for whom the visibility input fix didn't work, who believed his issue was with another app running in background and using system resources posted that he used safe mode and lost the BT skipping issues (and confirmed his issue was app related). It's always a pain to try to determine if an app is causing issues if you've got a new device and installed a lot of apps at once. I've had to do that a couple of times and felt like pulling my hair out until I found the offending culprit.

I guess if finding out which app is the culprit becomes too difficult and a factory reset is needed, it won't be too bad as Google Play will automatically reinstall the apps.
However my priority is music from the SD card, and it'll be impossible to listen to anything if this doesn't get fixed.
YES I have this problem all the time and It's starting to make me mad
I had problems with audio both streaming through bluetooth and Chromecast. Bluetooth would stutter and skip frequently (rebooting fixed it temporarily), and music would just stop on the Chromecast at the end of the current song after turning my screen off (also fixed for a short while by rebooting). I returned the phone because of these issues. I'm hoping that 4.4 will fix these problems and I can buy another one.

Someone on a different device and forum solved this by going to Settings > Apps > All > Google Play Music > Uninstall updates.
I did Force stop > clear cache > clear data > uninstall updates, and updated again through Play Store but the issue still exists. It's so frustrating. Can't listen to music on the train or in the car unless I leave the screen on, which is dumb.

It hasn't really been acting up the last couple of days. However before that I couldn't listen for 2 minutes without it cutting out.
Oh well. Problem solved itself, I hope it stays like that.
EDIT: I'm going to try streaming through bluetooth to see if I have any problems, as a lot of others were complaining about it.

Interesting, the people on our boat on the OnePlus One forums said the same thing. I wonder if I should just let the error happen and see if it fixes itself instead of trying to avoid it by leaving the screen on.
And please do! I completely forgot to test the bluetooth problem.
I had the skipping thing and what I did to get rid of it was turn "off" the smart battery saver, and set it to normal.
Cuts the battery time, but good grief, even with it off, I get 2 days EASY.

So I have been using my "Big Blue Live" bluetooth speaker for the past couple of days. I've probably listened to a couple hours worth of music and it hasn't skipped once. I don't have a bluetooth compatible car to test car compatibility in, otherwise I would do that too. But I don't have any skipping problems.
HOWEVER I remember I was coming back home from a trip and I wanted to listen to the radio from Chicago so I downloaded an app and hooked it up to the car via bluetooth (it was a rental) and IT was cutting out....that may have just been a problem with the app though.
