Hi guys, i got LG G Watch, and after some ROM flashing (Gohma, some kernels etc...) one day theater mode stopped working correctly. It wakes on single tap, not double. After some time i remember that going back to stock fixed it for me but then for some reason i went back to custom ROM then it wasnt correctly working again. After 5.0 update (gohma doesnt support it) i decided to stay stock, but theater mode didnt fix itself this time. I tried going back to stock with every possible option, remove a lot of stuffs, resetting - no luck. What can i possibly do to make it work again? (double tap to wake screen, instead of single)
Thanks

The stock android clock on top right of my screen wont update! Say i turn phone on at 1:20, it wont update to 1:21 or ever change unless i reboot then it will have the correct time for that ONE minute. I haven't recently installed or changed anything like apps or anything. BUT the clock on my lockscreen(widgetlocker) updates and works fine and is accurate. I went in date and time settings and its set to automatic, in the greyed out "set time" it shows a correct updated time, however this time isn't being shown up on the top right of my phone. I tried putting it in "manual" mode instead of the automatic mode and it still wont update..Ive reboot and pulled the battery several times to no avail. Im runnning stock rom and kernel, just rooted. As i said before i havent touched any new apps or settings in several days. This is really annoying as i cant tell what time it is while on and using my phone without going to the lockscreen and it just now began happening. Anyone have a fix or also have this issue??
I'm having the same problem today with my HTC Inspire 4g. Like you I have done nothing to my apps and its getting annoying. My phone has Cyanogenmod 7 flashed onto it.
i had same issue . made a phone call to make the phone get the auto time change then rebooted for good measure
Wow, mine was related to the time change, apparently! As soon as it reached 2am where i am it started working fine again!!(Time change was at 2am here)
Hello, I have some big issues with my S3.
I have been using Android Revolution HD v29 for a long long time and a week ago I decided to update it to v52. Everything was working well, but then the camera started acting weird ( it had some pink lines ) but it wasn`t such a big problem and I let it go. Today, the power button became very sensitive. Even a simple touch turns the screen on and a press opens the power off menu.
Now, it is restarting itself all the time, I took the battery out and now when I put it back on, the phone starts without touching the power button. I tried going to download mode but after a time it restarts again. I am worried that if I try to install a stock rom, it will restart again and I can do more damage to my phone.
What should I do ? I am posting here because I don`t think this is a ROM issue because everything was working fine, it seems to be a hardware problem. My phone is still in warranty but it is rooted atm.
I hope you guys can help me

It's a hardware problem, the power button is daamaged or stuck (thats why it turns itself on with battery). Also, pink lines on the camera are symptom of a bad contact, you should also get that camera checked.
Try and get it stable. Maybe open it and try to get the power button to stop resetting the device.
Next, triangle away, and flash a stock rom with odin (follow the guide on getting back to factory state with 0 flash counter). Remember that to avoid having the binary flash count at 1 you have to turn it off after triangle away finishes resetting the counter and before the phone boots android. Then flash a stock rom with odin.
Best of luck.
I did a factory reset right now and it seems to be better. The autoreset has stopped, I don`t know it it is because of the factory reset or the button is working fine for the moment, but at least I can flash a stock rom now.
Anyway, the camera issue and the sensitive button are still there.
L.E : I am now back to full stock and everything works fine, if the problems come back I will take it to warranty.
Thanks for your help !!
Hi everyone, Im concerned i might have bricked my phone for good (not good at all). I was using latest Spirit rom when had to change my usb flex since it was not connecting to my pc. After that every time I blocked the screen phone stopped responding. So i decided to go back to stock Rom through Odin.
Now phone boots to the initial screen where Im asked for language and doesnt respond at all. After the flex change usb connection is working again (probably you realized since i used Odin).
What can i try now before reaching the conclusion i have a hardware brick? (if thats possible)
Thanks.
Leo.
UPDATE EDIT.
Phone now has a previous version of stock rom and finally booted. Now i can see that the real problem is that something is making it laggy. The screen does not slide at my touch, rather freezes at its position as soon as I stop touching, and takes really long time block the screen, any thoughts?
...
Some details I will be adding to complement my lack of english vocabulary to explain this issue.
To use any icon at all i have to press twice on it, first attemp pushes the botton down and the second attemp finally activates it. Like if the touch screen is doind weird stuff. I can deduce that the touch screen has everything to do with the laggyness of the phone, maybe power-button has something to do as well.
Hello All!
I'm quite new to this forum and not sure if anyone else had this problem before, but I think it's worth a thread anyway. I always solved my android problems on my own, though I haven't got the slightest of clues of what's going on with my phone right now.
So the problem is what's the title of the thread. Whenever I take a picture with the camera with flash enabled, the phone shuts down or freezes. Not sure which, because the screen goes black immediately after taking the picture, and it will not come back by touching the screen or pushing the power button or pushing it for a long time to switch it on or restart it. The phone only comes back to life if I remove the battery and put it back.
Some testing I did so far:
- The flash is working on it's own, it doesn't cause any problem. I tried it with a flashlight app.
- the camera works well without flash enabled, no shut down/freeze there.
- tried 2 camera apps, Camera Zoom FX, and the stock camera app for Samsung S3. Both caused the shut down / freeze thing with flash enabled when I took the picture, and both worked well without flash enabled.
- The only modification I did recently is replacing the battery, which works pretty well without any issues or strange behaviour.
Some other info's that might be needed:
Model : GT-I9300
The phone is rooted.
Android version : 4.3 - Stock (no modification, not flashed, no cyanogenmod)
Any suggestions?
Hello and welcome on XDA,
I would like to know which battery you are using.
After that I would suggest you doing a factory reset.
Kind regards

Camera drivers have probably borked.. It has happened to my old s3 a while ago.
Backup, reset, flash stock twice and go from there. It's the only real fix that i know of.

I got an old G3 VS985. At first it seemed broken beyond fixing but then I realized the backlight turns off after the Android logo comes on. It will be on when off and charging as well. Using a flashlight, I managed to navigate the menu and factory reset. The backlight stayed off throughout the reset and I forced it to shutdown when it started setup and asked for the language because I still couldn't see. But when I turned it back on, it was working properly. However, after a while it went to sleep and when I tried to use it again it was back to the issue. I managed to boot I to the recovery menu and cleared the cache. After that, it rebooted and the screen worked again. I pressed the power button to shut the screen off and back on a few times and it still worked. I left it for a few minutes and it's back to no backlight. I was going to try and reset from the recovery menu but I was only able to get into the menu that one time for some reason. Maybe the instructions I've found are wrong but I tried a few things and can't get back to it. I also checked for updates and it said there aren't any. It's just an old phone that someone didn't want that I thought I could give to my kid to play games with, so not activated or anything. I don't know if it's a hardware issue but it doesn't seem like it because it works for a bit after reset. Any ideas? Also, how can I get into recovery mode every time?
