I initially thought I may have accidentally put my phone in safe mode but there is no safe mode overlay and rebooting has not restored start up programs.
When I use 3c toolkit it shows startup programs as set to start, so any suggestions on fixing this?

For example, SeekDroid starts up as if new. My battery widget keeps resetting it's settings and one widget disappears completely every time I reboot. Only some do this, 99% of the restore is fine. Any ideas?
EDIT: Disregard. After uninstalling said apps, restarting, reinstalling then restarting again all is fine.

I have my phone rooted and the Vodafone ICS rom
Everytime my phone switched off, whether it's my battery dying or switching it off manually, it REPEATEDLY crashes when I switch it back on. It crashes when I try and use an app or sometimes I wait for it to automatically lock and then no button works. I just have to take my battery out MANY MANY times before I get lucky and it doesn't crash. Once it doesn't crash when I don't switch it on, it then never crashes, until my phone switches off and then it starts all over again.. I don't know whether it maybe the'Directory Bind' app that is causing this but I haven't tried uninstalling as I need Directory Bind so I can save app data and stuff into my external memory card and still play the app

just try uninstalling that app and check if the problem resolves then the app is the culprit if problem still there then try 2 reflash the rom once and check
You might have downloaded an app. which is culprit and making your phone shut down..just try and uninstall few apps which you think is creating problem... I have done the same as i had the same problem..now my device is working fine.

Screen wakes up intermittently. Specifically when an operation is done and the phone goes to sleep it intermittently wakes up for a couple of annoying times, then it goes normal, and out of nowhere it starts to wake up. I am on stock ROM and Kernel. Please shed some light on this.
Boot your phone in safe mode and check if the proplem persists. Maybe some app wakes your phone.

How to goto the Safe mode in Samsung Galaxy S3*(all other Samsung Android phones should work in the same fashion)
Switch off your phone completely switch it on using power button once you see Samsung Logo on screen start hitting the left capacitive touch button i.e. Menu button.
You will see your device will boot in Safe mode and Safe mode will be watermarked on the left bottom of the screen. None of your downloaded application will be available in application menu.
How to get out of Safe mode in Galaxy S3Simple reboot the device.

Okay, here is my conclusion after a day and a half observation:
By curiosity I restarted the phone using power button. Since then that phenomena started to occur. Woke up whenever went to sleep for a couple of annoying times then a break and then a few more wake-up within next 7 to 15 minutes. The following morning I decided to restart the phone again using the power button and since then till now No Intermittent waking up.
It may or may not sound funny but I think the restarting-the-phone-using-power-button had caused that problem in my case. My precious is now absolutely fine since yesterday provided that during this entire happening I did not install any new application or make a tweak in settings.
Same here.I'm experiencing the same problems with the screen just waking up on it own.I thought it something to do with still being connected to the inherent.but turned out it wasn't.plus I've restarted the phone loads and it still happens every now again.........
So if any one could help or no the course.many thanks

same here.. in other topic i was suggested to remove live wallpaper.. i'll try that but i don't know yet if that's the problem..
I noticed that his happens when I turned of my phone screen and immediately place my phone on some NFC enabled cards. Seems that the phone is trying to read it and turned the screen on. Not sure if this is the case for you.
I though of that but i turned my nfc off and checked for any possible sources of nfc chips.. but it was not the case..
Anyone found a solution to this problem? i made a quick google search and i found some people having the same problem but no "solution" :crying::crying:
Is the problem gone in safe mode?

I dunno for sure. But clearing memory from task manager works for me with this one

This problem is usually caused by a rogue app for me I had two such apps, one of them was the checkfus app and cloud music downloader app the problem only stopped when I uninstalled the apps.

You could try AirPush Detector from market to detect this type of malware apps.
i9.0.1.3k galaxy imperator
this actually was for my gf phone and it seams to be working now after uninstalling a live wallpaper..
strangely enough my htc one x started doing the same last night.. as i didn't installed anything new in the last couple of days i was surprised but then i remembered that i had just rebooted my phone.. so it had to be something that was started during this reboot.. so uninstalled the most recent 3 apps, kept the same but, after another reboot, it stopped.. (i had alreday rebooted a few times after having the problem and before uninstalling those apps and it kept happening)
Android 4.3 wake up bug
My phone just started doing this wonderful bug. My phone dropped from 98% battery to 70% within an hour because of waking up every few minutes.
I tried booting in "Safe Mode" and that seemed to work as per this thread. When I rebooted in normal mode, the problem returned. I then clear my RAM using the Task Manager. So far after about an hour it seems to have fixed the problem.
Clearing the RAM seemed to fix the problem until I unlocked the phone. Now I have to clear the RAM every single time I want to lock the phone. I now HATE this phone. Thanks Verizon!
Hello everyone!
I'm new to android, so forgive my noob-ness, but I have this annoying feature that I want to disable.
I have recently reset my phone (running rooted stock android 4.1.1) and I have restored some of my backed-up apps + installed some new ones.
The problem is that my wifi radio keeps turning on (when the phone is in standby), and I have no idea what application/feature is responsible for this. Before I did reset to factory defaults, the phone didn't behave this way.
I'd like to learn how to find out who is responsible (probably by log analysis?).
I usually keep wifi off and the "open networks available" notification is also off.

Re: How can I discover what keeps turning on wifi?
Well, I still haven't isolated the problem (I've been freezing suspicios apps), but I noticed something odd. Each time I reboot wifi is turned on (even if it was off before the reboot). I'm not sure if it is normal, but I will try to disable the run on boot apps until I isolate the problem
Re: How can I discover what keeps turning on wifi?
Update: I isolated the troublesome app: it was "Change Hostname". When starting on boot it would turn on wifi while changing the histname...
Now I regained my sanity
My phone updated overnight. I use the gesture unlock feature. Because the phone restarted, it requires me to use the gesture unlock instead of biometrics. If I input the wrong set of gestures, it says "Incorrect direction drawn". If I input the correct set of gestures, it pauses, the screen goes dark as if I'd hit the power button, but it does not unlock.
Any ideas on how to resolve this?
Thanks.
Does anything happen if you plug it in immediately after the correct gesture?
Plug it into a power cord? I tried that, but didn't see any different behavior.
I also booted into recovery and wiped the cache as I saw that worked for someone on Sprint with the same issue. Unfortunately it did not resolve the issue on my phone.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I'd try samsung switch from a pc and do a device initialization at this point or maybe try using Odin to flash a stock firmware of your carrier
I tried Switch, but it couldn't do anything with the phone locked.
I also booted into Safe Mode, but that didn't help.
I eventually decided to reset the phone. Everything is working now, but lost some of my data.
I'm sorry I didn't see this before you did the reset. If you have the samsung account setup, it could have been use to remote unlock the device. Sign to "find my mobile" from the web, and the phone needs to have data on. In the list of option on the you will unlock.
Oh, that's a good idea. That would have been so much easier. I probably knew about that feature at one time.
I'm now going through the long process of setting up my phone again. Samsung backup has restored a lot, but still a lot to do.
Thanks.

I had a similar problem. Phone wouldn't let me do anything as I had an endless loop of system UI loops. Had to factory reset but luckily my Samsung backup ran slightly before the update.
