Hi everybody, I searched for a thread concerning the problem described in the title, so I apologize if I failed at it.
My I9100's screen keeps turning itself on, at (apparently) random moments. It's a pretty annoying problem for different reasons, one of the most important being bound to power consuption, since the display light is maybe the most power-demanding feature. Besides, if you are trying to sleep, or watching a movie, etc. and you forget to leave it upside-down, you'll have hard times trying to ignore it
What I did to to solve the problem so far, is the following:
- Reset to factory defaults
- Install anti AD software (so I had to root the device)
- Disable auto update applications/notifications
- Look for a solution in forums
My bad that I didn't update firmare and OS yet, but I'd be glad if I had a positive feedback by someone who solved this issue this way, before I actually do that. A description of my phone follows:
Model: Samsung GT-I9100-XXKG1
Android ver.: 2.3.4
Kernel ver.: 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKG1-CL349526 se [email protected] #2
Remarkable sw installed: GO Launcher with some themes, GO Power master
I'd appreciate any input to solve the problem or suggestions on how to find the process/service responsible of this issue. Thanks a lot and nice day everyone!
Simone.
I always have had this issue !
Watch out from apps that keep getting permissions since they need root access:
Example uninstall THEN REBOOT these apps just for trial and see if it still occurs:
Luckypatcher, titanium backup, adaway or adfree, betterbatterystats, or any other similar app if you have!

yeah i had same issue too turns out it was some livewallpaper with ads which was waking the screen every now and then

Hi Life Engineer, and thanks for your reply. I reset the phone to defaults not more than 2 days ago, so the problem occurred again with a real small number of apps, namely the default ones, plus, I guess, the guilty one, which I failed to identify. I installed adaway and Titanium bck just yesterday, so they're probably not the first cause, but I keep on looking for it as you suggested. The first things I usualy install are Go Launcher Ex and a battery management app. I'll let you know if I finally spot it! Bye!
P.S.: I didn't get if you finally managed to solve it! Bye!

a solution
hey guys, i suffered from that problem myself...and i think i found a solution :good:
go to settings menu>>>developer options>>> in the apps category make sure that the "don't keep activities" box is checked, and the background process limit to any number 1, 2, 3 , 4 but neither standard nor zero, and i recommend 3 or 4 processes
try it and feedback me plz,,
I had the same problem too

It happens to me rarely. A reboot usually solves it out
But I will try the developer option thing

Hey guys, I've been searching the forum for a solution to this ploblem but came back empty handed. I rooted my sgIII i9300 last night and since then the screen keeps turning on randomly. Sometimes I even have to turn it off manually. I've uninstalled all recent installed apps. Killed all apps running in background. Toyed with the screen timeout, brightness and other screen features related but nothing does it.
Baseband version
I9300XXLEF
Kernel Version
3.0.15-57065
Rooted with CWM Manager v3.6
I'm thinking about rooting again but is it wise?
Try reinstalling the stock firmware or try unrooting
IF YOU LIKE MY WORK, THANK ME BY THE BUTTON BELOW
Yeah I thought about that, but I don't feel like going through the hassle of a full fledged flashing process. I guess I'm gonna unroot and root again. If anyone has this issue, ... .
Uniinstall all of your apps.

that's rather pointless in my mind... just perform a factory reset...

Problem solved. It was an app messing with the hardware. A cheap torch app.
you mean "0 money" or "few money"? ;-)
got same problem on my tab10.1/overcome231. i guess whether "high intensity flashlight" is guilty.
however, i hoped to know out whether there are some log application that records actions such as "which app sounded" or "which application turned the screen on".
any ideas?
Hello everybody

How did you check that is not entering deep sleep?
Did you restore/reinstall your apps before checking?
If you used BetterBatteryStats you can view what is waking up you device and how often/long.
If you didn't restore your apps then I don't have any idea what is going on. If you did probably one of them is at fault and you should get a tool to check which is. If you don't want to buy an app like the one mentioned before you could remove recent installed apps one by one and check if the problem in gone.

BetterBatteryStats is available free to XDA members here.
You can also still buy it from Google Play to support the developer, which is what I did.
well I could see no deep sleep using CPU spy but ot was the only app I installed, to avoid other apps to interfere...
no deep sleep at all.... 200Mhz instead of deep sleep...
Just checking bbattery stats...
The most using in "partial wakelocks" is "PhoneWindowManager.mBroadcastWakelock" .. what is it?.. no app istalled but CPUspy and Bbattery stats

There's one app or device calling for a wakelock and due to a possible malfunction it doesn't get released. My programming skills are very limited, maybe there's something wrong with the hardware itself, maybe try disabling Wifi and your GPS module and observe BetterBatteryStats.

Thanks for answer ... hope no hardware failure but i fear it is... i deep cleaned my S3 but problem still here
I have been having the same problem on my S3, running an unmodified, non-rooted factory stock ROM.
I've done a full factory reset a few times with no improvement, although I am guilty of not running without any downloaded apps to eliminate that variable.
I did manage to make this problem go away for a few days and get normal awake time vs. screen on time ratios. PhoneWindowManager.mBroadcastWakeLock even disappeared from BetterBatteryStats' Partial Wakelocks list, instead of being at the top of this list as the worst offender by a large margin.
This happened after I "disabled" a number of unwanted, seemingly safe to disable built-in apps using Settings/Application Manager/All. I first had to uninstall any updates that had loaded over the built-in apps I was trying to disable, since the Uninstall Updates button replaces the Disable button. After that, most of these built-ins then gave me a choice to disable, although some ended up with a disabled Disable button once updates were uninstalled. Those that didn't have a disable option were allowed to redownload their updates, if any.
While the Google Play Books and Google Play Movies & TV apps were re-enabled right away (my guess is that the Google Play Store app re-enabled them, but there could be some other safeguard doing so), the other built-ins that allowed me to disable them stayed disabled.
At this point, I'm not sure why this problem has returned.
Because I didn't log which apps I ended up disabling, I can't tell if one re-enabled itself as the Google apps did. I tend to doubt that this is the case; if an app was going to do this, I doubt it would wait beyond the first reboot at the latest to do so.
Since I haven't downloaded any apps to cause PhoneWindowManager.mBroadcastWakeLock to suddenly resume keeping my phone awake, all that I can think of is either an automatically downloaded update or a changed setting.
The most significant setting change that I made before this problem resume was in BetterBatteryStats (purchased version). I had previously not enabled the watchdog settings, and had recently turned them on. (One benefit of having done that is getting Kernel Wakelocks captured for the first time since moving from Gingerbread on a Droid X to ICS on my Galaxy S3.)
This isn't a "phantom" problem in reported awake time only. While this problem was fixed, I had very noticeably improved battery life.
As much as I hate factory resetting my phone, and would hate even more not having my usual stable of apps loaded for a while, I may be forced into doing some organized research and experimentation if nobody else comes up with a fix.
I hope the above helps shed some light on what is happening so that we can get rid of this problem.
BTW: Any suggestions of what tests should be included if I decide to do a deep dive on this?
Any and all help with this problem is greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Simcha-Yitzchak Lerner

Really first time i face such a strage problem and i ha ve ISEF and flashed hundred of roms on a lot of devices
May be a solution ...
Hi everyone,
I got the same problem for a long time : phonewindowmanager.mbroadcastwakelock (seen on better battery stats) and no more deep sleep
or sometimes my phone was in deep sleep and another time it did not. I wasn't able to know exactly why ...
May be you'll think my solution is a little bit 'funny' but I'm convinced that my case is guilty !
I explain myself ...
I got a Sena Case made in real good leather and it fits perfectly to the SGS3 ... so perfectly that when I listen to music, the 'Volume Down' button
is 'pressed' by the side of this pouch and it's not possible to listen music anymore 'cause volume goes down to zero ...
And I fortuitously I made the connection between those 2 facts this morning : when my phone is out the pouch, no more partial wakelocks due to phonewindowmanager.mbroadcastwakelock ! And it goes normally in deep sleep mode.
I tested it by another way : I noticed the time spent in partial wakelocks, I put the phone in standby and pressed the 'vol down' button : the time spent in wakelock of type "phonewindowmanager.mbroadcastwakelock" incresead !
Same thing without pressing the volume button and no wakelock ...
My conclusion is that my Sena case continually press this button and causes those wakelocks. Since this morning (from 6.30 to 11.30) battery is at 77% ... Usually, it was between 50 and 60 % max.
Sorry for my poor english and all the mistakes I made.
I don't know if my experience could help someone .. let me know !
suddenly my samsung galaxy s3 keeps freezing and I have to make a hard reset every time. I tried to make factory reset, or wipe factory reset, but the same problem.
what should I do?
are you on SDS-safe firmware?
Dude, instead of creating yet another post with this, you could have searched to quite easily find out your phone is halfway dead and should be sent back to samsung for repair as soon as possible. Make it safe to return if you messed with it (flash original stuff, reset counter, etc, read a bit if you don't know what to do, it's all over these forums) and just take it in.
Don't take this the wrong way but you'd think it's common sense to just return any product (not even phone related) that it's malfunctioning instead of asking what to do to random people in a third party forum

use the sds safe précautions to prevent freezing

And what are the sds safe precautions or where can I find it?
just search in the general section
Device:GT-I9300 32gb
I have the same problem, this seems to be firmware related to me, the phone works in safe mode but this is really crappy now. I don't think there should be a return unless it's the only fix.Will try and flash JB and update the post.
Edit: Is that sds the Sudden death thing. I tried searching but no results come up. I am a new comer to Samsung as their devices sucked for ages and they still seem to do. Please can some one advise us(the op and myself and future people with this problem) on what is the main cause of this issue that a hard reset fixes it. But for my device,it doesn't die it stops functioning.
This is how I get this problem, my phone is rooted, but it runs fine only when there is a app crash the phone locks up and thats it.
what i tried: I tried to back up my data so i could save myself from reinstalling all my app. I hard reseted the phone and the phone functioned again
but after restoring my data the phone locks up again. Now my phone works about 5sec from normal boot but then locks up. It works fine in safe mode. So really where is issue? Is an app is making the whole OS to jam there has to be a simple fix for this.
Please don't say return the device, thats the dumbest thing to ever say. We want to over come the problem not ignore it/get rid of it.
Thanks for your time guys

My S3 started well and then "SUDDEN DEAD" :crying:
Well. I reverted back to 4.1.1 and no more random reboots or freezes. It was definitely ROM issue.
Any one tried new EMA2 rom? If yes, still freezing?

I was getting similar behaviour too. Phone would freeze after making calls, sending msgs, using facebook, searching on google, basically random points anywhere. Went through uninstalling apps, did a factory reset, and through some trial and error finally pinned down where my problem was at least. It was caused by the latest version of MixZing. Was crashing before frequently, and after uninstalling it I've been using my phone fine all day with no crashes at all. Still potentially early days, but if I don't report back then that solved it for me.
A simple solution
ok guys.. this is something i tried and has been working for me for more than two days now:
the problem seems to be in the download manager included in the new android software so what you simply have to do is to disable this application whenever you're not using it.. you can do so in the settings>> applications manager>> view ALL>> select DOWNLOAD MANAGER and DISABLE..
of course this will stop the play store from functionning and will stop any automatic updates but will prevent the phone sudden death...
All you have to do when you want to download any new apps or update existing ones is to enable the download manager and i suggest before doing that to clear the RAM memory and try to be gentle and patient with the phone...
Just keep working like that till ANDROID finds a solution in the next update and your phone will be fine.. in the end its better than killing the machine with every freeze.
Remember to be patient and work slowly when the download manager is enabled
Reply if it worked for you

My first post here. Thanks for this tip. My phone was freezing every 3 minutes and so I did what you suggested after all other suggestions (except rooting - as I was worried I might brick the phone if it froze while rooting) didn't work. Anyway, just a few seconds after I hit "DISABLE", my phone froze! So I thought it's probably not working, but since the reboot, it hasn't crashed. Thanks!:good:

the same thing is happening to me and i have no clue why its happening it just like 3-4days ago but i have installed only clash of clans and clash royale in my phone. he most interesting thing is that all your phone feature will work but the screen will not for almost 20-30mins then it will recover on its own. all the call features are working well but no response from phone. my conclusion is this phone is totally a mess and i dont even know how i managed t use this device for 4years! it got super laggy after 6-7 months of use. Whatever i went to the service centre and they told that i need to change the motherboard of my s3 costing 130$.
I have recently started have a problem when "waking up" my Galaxy S4, rooted, with Android 5.0.1. Here is what happens:
Press the "wake up" key (power or home)
Lock screen appears and quickly disappear
Last screen used (home screen, app. etc.) may flash
A blank home screen wallpaper appears (no icons) for a short period of time (about 2 seconds)
Last screen used appears again for a short time. (about 2 seconds)
Lock screen finally appears and the device can be unlocked
This started happening within the last two to three weeks. I have tried uninstalling of freezing applications like Facebook and others that might wake up when the phone does and grab focus. Same with apps, like weather apps that have items in the notification area. I have uninstalled and re-installed Nova launcher. I've killed applications. All to no avail. I have run traces with 3C Toolbox and the only thing that appears to be implicated is "System UI" - but I have made no changes to the OS since going to 5.0.1 (just stock, rooted) some time ago.
So … I'm baffled and I would welcome assistance from anyone who is seeing the same thing or anyone that might have a solution.
Thank you.

I guess that this is stock rom.
One thing samsungs touchwiz is full of bloat apps, too much stuff which uses memory, take a ram and spend cpu cycles, that will burn up your device (less performance a d battery overtime)
Mine sugestion is to flash for ehample Cyanogen mod, and you will see the difference

Thanks to all for reviewing this post. Just to let you know, I have found the problem and solution. First I restarted in "Safe Mode" and confirmed that the problem is not in the operating system. Using the "ES Task Manager" application I killed applications. It was strange to me that "Indrix Traffic" was running and I hadn't started it. I killed it and tried power off/power on. Bingo! I uninstalled Indrix Traffic and it has been fine since then. I like Indrix so will consider re-installing it, but I was very happy to find the solution.

In fact, I think that only restarting in Safe Mode is enough to solve the problem. I had same problems started some weeks ago and couldn't find a cure till now. Tried to do what you did and (of course, I didn't have Indrix) I just sleep and wake-up the phone, seeing that in safe mode all was OK. After restarting also, restart normally and all was ok also. So just going to Safe mode once fix the problem, no need to uninstall nothing.
Can somebody explain that?
Hi,
This is my first time specifically posting a question as a Q&A style thread so I hope I'm doing this right.
I have been using the Redmi Note 2 for about a month now. Overall, it's been a great phone (especially considering the price). However, I've been experiencing a couple of issues and I am hoping that some of you may be able to help.
I have rooted the phone but have not installed a ROM/kernel.
I have been using Wakelock Detector to track my battery life. Of most significance is com.baidu.map.location (NetworkLocation). I have attached the two screenshots showing the frequency of how often it wakes up my device. I tried to greenify it but it wouldn't allow me - it says "Sorry, "NetworkLocation" is ingreenifiable". Does anyone have any idea for me?
I have also been trying to use Amplify as another means to try and improve battery life. As mentioned, my phone is rooted, and the app prompted me to install the Xposed app which I did. However, after installing the app, it wants me to install the framework but it does not allow me to. I have attached the screenshot of this too.
Nova Launcher - Sometimes when I open the app drawer, the resolution of the app launcher appears funny. To fix it, I normally just press back and go back into the app drawer and it goes back to normal. I have attached a screenshot of what this roughly looks like. This is not a big deal but can be a little annoying. Has anyone experienced this?
SD Maid - I used to use this app on my old Galaxy S3 i9305 to clear out storage space taken up by unnecessary stuff. This app no longer works on this phone. I have attached a screenshot of the issue that I am having.
I have downloaded Auto Call Recorder from the app store with the intention of having it automatically record my phone conversations. It does not work but I am unable to figure out why. I have checked the settings and I cannot identify any obvious setting that is incorrectly configured.
Flynx - I have been trying to use Flynx as it appears to be an incredibly useful app, but it seems something is not working correctly. In the screenshot that I have attached, where it says "Tap on the bubble to open it!" I am assuming there is a bubble that is supposed to appear for me to tap, but it does not appear.
APUS Launcher/Clean Master - finally and maybe most worryingly, I sometimes get 2 or 3 apps "pushed" to my device prompting me to install it. I can only remember 2 at the moment; APUS Launcher and Clean Master. Fortunately, I am asked to give the app permission for installation but it worries me because it has occurred a few times and I did not download it at all. I do not have a screenshot of this at the moment, but I will do it next time it occurs.
I have been told that my provider (Vaya in Australia) sends out a SMS for "automatic update" purposes. I only spotted this because I have noticed that I was charged for 2 separate international SMS on 2 occasions when I did not send them (to a UK number, +44 7786209730). I am not sure whether this one is a phone problem or something else.
I appreciate any of your assistance in advance and I am sorry if I have not provided enough information. I am also not sure as to which issues may simply be app problems as opposed to a problem with MIUI software or Xiaomi.
Hope I will be able to get some assistance!

Does the crash happen when the dialog opens, or when you click the orange entry?
Try giving your sdcard a name, possibly doing it from a desktop computer.
Hi, the crash happens when I click on "Overview" then click on "To start press [refresh icon]" and then you just press there - what normally happens is it will give a overall summary of the phone.
However, I have just tried it again. When that error message comes up, instead of tapping on the listed entry (as is instructed), I press "Done" and it is able to give me a summary!
So for some reason it appears as though it doesn't work (at least from the error message), and I just press done and it still works.
Thanks for your reply nevertheless! Would not have figured that out had you not replied hahaha.
If you just press "done", SD Maid won't have access to your external sdcard.
Did you try installing the Xiaomi EU rom, since it's supposed to be cleaned from chinese apps (Like the baidu one).
Hi all,
Sorry it seems like I never came back to expand what I have done to try and fix these problems.
I ended up changing to Hermes ROM here http://www.smiui.net/redminote2_hermes.php
Most of the issues above are now solved, but there are some that are still present such as #2 and #5. So Amplify still doesn't work, but I think this is a hardware limitation and Auto Call Recorder still doesn't work. As for why Auto Call Recorder doesn't work, I don't know why, but I am not greatly bothered by it so I have not attempted to do anything to resolve that problem.
