I performed a search on here and find lots of posts about how to turn them on but nothing discussing the issue I'm having which is that they keep turning themselves back off. It's driving me insane!!!
I have a Touch Pro with Sprint. I go into settings and enable all notifications to display on the screen for new reminders, email, sms, etc. I've done both soft reset and no soft reset after enabling them and it doesn't seem to matter. After a few days the notifications checkmarks have seemed to uncheck themselves and the pop up notifications stop working. Then I have to go in a re-enable them all. I've gone through this about 10 times in the last two weeks and it's wearing on my last nerve.
Does anyone know what is causing this and more importantly know how to fix it once and for all? Is there something in the registry that keeps making it default back to no popup notifications that I need to change?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. Other than this issue I love the phone!
I have noticed 2 things with the new Sprint TP:
1. They work better after a hard reset. More stable and faster.
2. There are some programs I tried out that were written for the diamond (i.e. advance config). They have caused some unwanted side effects, like not keeping settings I had intended (i.e. hardware button tap sounds always turned themselves off etc.).
If you have any of those programs on your TP, one of those might be the culprit.
Either way, I would suggest a hard reset and then (if applicable) installing each program and seeing if it's messing things up.
As follow up, it appears that Advanced Config is the culprit. I uninstalled it, reset all of my notifications to display on screen and finally did a soft reset. Popup notifications are still working strong for almost a week now!
Thanks!
Sunday, I started having a problem where my phone (AT&T Galaxy Note 2) would bring itself out of the lock screen without me touching anything. The screen will stay on for 10-15 seconds and then shut off again. It will then stay off anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes.
Very odd, right? I figured I downloaded a bad app that was causing the issue. I removed practically every app I could (I wasn't going to go through all of them to see which had permissions to bring the phone out of standby). It still kept doing the same thing.
So I did a hard reset on the phone. That should clear everything, right? The problem still kept happening.
I start thinking maybe it's a hardware issue... EXCEPT for it doesn't happen when the phone is in Airplane Mode! Which brings me back around to thinking it's some rogue app, but it still happens even when there's nothing but the default software installed from after a hard reset. It can't be the power button or a bad proximity sensor if it doesn't happen in Airplane Mode, right?
So I took it to the AT&T store and I didn't expect much. The one guy tried to play with my settings and didn't find anything wrong. He took it to the manager in the back room and the manager said I should do a hard reset (ignoring the fact that I told his employee I already had done so twice).
I've looked for answers online. The ones I've found I've tried. I've removed all applications. I've changed the screen time outs. I've even downloaded a Lock Screen replacement program. I've tried using anti-virus to scan for problems. It starts to happen again immediately after I perform the hard reset. I've moved the brightness settings. I've removed the S-Pen thinking it might be causing issues. I've turned on and off motion options. I've turned on and off wi-fi, GPS, screen rotation, multi-window, etc. Power Saving mode doesn't help. Blocking Mode doesn't help. The only thing that works is Airplane Mode.
I have NOT tried rooting my phone. I'm scared to do so, even though I'm a UNIX admin and a techie and shouldn't be scared of something like this.
Has anyone ever experienced this? I'm running whatever the normal, latest AT&T android version (4.1.2) for the Note 2. This is killing my battery and reducing screen life (is that a big deal though? I don't know).
Has anyone experience the second screen not working all of a sudden? Mine is just dark with the main screen both on and off. I tried toggling the second screen on and off from the setting, reboot, battery pull, and wiping cache and dalvik but so far none worked.
It's not a hardware issue, I think, because when I open the camera, the second screen comes on for the camera Settings. Also, when in twrp, the second screen is also on as a part of the whole display.
EDIT: I can actually see some light bleed from the second screen with the main screen off. It's just not displaying information it should for some reason.

I just got mine, and something I did in the course of adding/changing/modding did the same - I lost my second screen when the phone was off, but when it was on I had my shortcuts. I wound up factory resetting and re-installing/re-configuring my apps... knock on wood, everything works just fine now. I think mine failed when I unfroze an app in Titanium that it marked for me.
About the only thing that I did before I lost the second screen is installing a game from the play store. I have uninstalled it, but still no luck. I most likely will factory reset and if that doesn't work, I'll flash stock rooted rom... And set my phone up yet again.

Same symptoms
I am on stock, albeit rooted. I froze a few apps, but I have also rebooted multiple times before the second screen disappeared, so I am not sure how anything I have done this far could be the cause.
Because I saw I am not alone, I started to do some digging. It looks like the app is located in /data/data/com.lge.signboard, which actually has symlinked directories. Not sure if its a clear indicator of the issue, but most of the directories are empty. Definitely odd.
I'll load up SSHd later and see if I can investigate more.
Did the factory reset and now the second screen works. I'm sincerely hoping that this is not a regular occurrence. I haven't liked a phone so much since galaxy s2.

I also had my second screen go funky. Haven't factory reset but I'm going to. It seemed to happen as I was also defrosting and refreezing some LG things, mainly services and such and not apps that you interact with per se. At right about the same time I noticed something else strange. When plugging the phone in, it takes several seconds for it to realize it whereas before it used to be instant. Also, the camera is very slow to load and change from the front to the back ones.
So I got a little bored
And fired up adb logcat to see if I could find anything. I don't yet know if it's related or not, but there is a message
Code:
I/[SystemUI]MiniStatusBar( 5541): signBoardWindowShow() requested but unavailable. Hide MiniActivity.
that shows in the log.
I to tried clearing cache and dalvik or art or whatever to try to get the second screen back no avail.
I'm having the same issue. Any update on this?
I too am interested in this, I had this issue occur too when I froze some applications (system apps) that I didn't think were necessary. Unfortunately once you freeze the component it blocks the screen and unfreezing everything back does not bring the screen back you have to factory reset it. Any ideas of what the service is that affects the second screen?
Second Screen symlink busybox
After reading all your comments on what you could have done to cause the second screen from working, it looks like the symlink is broken especially if you have updated your busy box. I too started to have the second screen go bad on me and I couldn't figure it out until I read this thread especially the log post. I am going to reset and ensure that smart install is set right in busy box.
Recently, the AT&T LG V10 (H900) just got root here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-v10/general/root-lg-h900-real-tot-make-tungkick-t3336317
I then debloated the V10 on firmware H90010f with Debloater v3.90 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294
Before, I decided to have the second screen off for a while, so I disabled it in the system's menu. I then advanced towards debloating. Decided to turn on the second screen again. Notice that there were issues with it. So now I'm currently experiencing this issue: the second screen does not show date, time, weather, notifications, quick icons. Only shows quick toggles if I swiped from right to left, such as sound profile, WiFi, flashlight, and camera. I undo all of the debloating, rebooted the phone many times, still the same problem. Sigh. I'm trying to avoid doing factory reset because I'm not up to reloading everything again, especially the SMS/MMS.
So, anybody found out a better solution other than doing a reset?
Update 1: It seems like re-rooting with updating the ROM with the "upgrade" option for the AT&T LG V10 to not do a full clean install does not solve the problem. I didn't lose all my personal data, but I did not gain anything that it restored system apps to previous default settings. Sigh, it's just one step closer to just do a factory data reset.
Update 2: There appears that other things were broken from disabling/removing apps (during phone calls, cannot multitask, such as switch apps or use the notification area; SuperSU couldn't generate a log correctly), so I went ahead and did a factory reset since there was no alternative restoring method. The second screen works again and so does the said apps. Looks like I'll have to be careful which apps I'll be disabling/removing with Debloater.
Uninstalling an app restored my second screen.
I had this issue as well. Camera controls were in the second screen space, the swipe to end call would appear, but none of my other settings stayed long after restarting my phone, maybe 10 min. I uninstalled some of my most recent apps, the suspect one being "Zooper Widget Pro" and the issue stopped. No factory data reset etc. This app was a launcher-type app (I'm a geek but nowhere near the tech terms used elsewhere on this site) and I thought it might be the issue due to its ability to control the home screen. I doubt it was intended to work with this arrangement. So I would look at any launchers or apps which can control the home screen before doing a reset as this exact issue was easily solved for me.
I just got the phone and set it up. the only thing I disabled was ATT bloatware nothing else. 2nd screen is only on when main one is on. Using nova launcher. I tried uninstalling and that didn't help. Is there any more info on this, can I get it working without factory reset ? I get no indication of notification right now other than sound.
I did factory reset and that didn't help either.
I have a same problem with the second screen to. So anybody can help me!
Is there anyone can help me pls!!!
I solved this problem by checking PINs on mainboard for the second Flex Cable for LCD of LG V10, see the video, READ comments here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpeVAqgU94s, so in my case one of three PINs was folded little, so one PIN contact didn't touch the second Flex Cable and this caused the problem...
I honestly don't know where to post this so I'm going to post it under "General" in hopes that someone far smarter than me can help (!)!...

I've had the following issue for the past 30 days (at first I thought it was some glitch that caused the UI to crash when phoning-home to Cyanogenmod for updates). It SEEMS to have happened right when I first started screwing around with TitaniumBU... that may be a total coincidence, also...
The phone works just fine but will suddenly start showing things in Landscape instead of Portrait (and vise-versa). After I reboot the phone boots to a black screen with just the status bar at the top (showing the time, wifi, etc...) with absolutely NOTHING ELSE except for what appears to be a "back" arrow at the bottom of the screen (that does nothing when pressed).
WTH?! Please. Because I've tried everything (to include wiping internal and ext-SD). :crying: I have, of course, searched other forums but "Android UI Crashing" returns a ton of unrelated results...
:cyclops:I'm still having this issue so I'm gonna bump this thread... Any help is much-appreciated!:cyclops:
I'd wipe the whole internal storage (including ROM) and reinstall the ROM.
Dude - WAY ahead of ya - already did. To the extent that I accidentally soft-bricked the stupid phone!
We all know, as engineers and troubleshooters, that the first step to solving a problem is duplicating it.... and I cannot seem to consistently duplicate the problem! And the crux of it is that this started at the end of December when I was bored around the holidays and playing with my phone (making several different changes).
Obviously I'm not restoring anything from a previous backup... I've even blown away my backed-up App settings in my google account... Formatted Internal and External... Installed latest OS and GApps...
Gun to my head; if I had to guess I'd say that it has something to do with the "System Profiles" feature... I started using it to disable my Lock Screen whenever it detected my home wifi, and to return to the System Default (with the Lock Screen enabled) whenever it no longer detected my home wifi... Because I swear that the crashed-phone looks the same as the screen where you enter your PIN with the addition of the status bar at the top...
The issue has to do with System Profiles to use wifi-detection for toggling the lock screen. Not sure what it is about this that causes the issue, but that was the cause.
So i turned on my phone and strangely this had happened.
The buttons themselves still work as i can long-press to get the settings menu. Back still works (otherwise i wouldn't be able to do anything!)
I also noticed it had turned on bluetooth.
I don't even have the lock screen and the pull-down menu is blank. So i cannot change settings very easily now either, the only way to do it is physically going into the settings app.
Also i cannot go to the normal list of all your applications either. The only way to get to my applications is to manually add them to the home screen "launcher" thing (is this the launcher? i was never clear on terminology).
I am on SmallEUI V18 https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...eui-5-9-lemax2-aroma-installer-may-1.3524531/
I didn't realise it had been updated.
I cannot use adb, i think maybe i had disabled usb debugging because i heard leaving it on all the time was insecure. However now the developer options won't let me in too, it says "developer options are not available for this user" when i go into the menu. Tried re-enabling them but nothing.
Notifications aren't coming up so I couldn't change the USB connection setting. I was panicking thinking i would be unable to backup anything as i wouldn't be able to put the phone into MTP mode and it would be stuck in charging mode.
Thankfully i can still download and install applications. I found a program called MTP Enabler. I think it was from here but i cannot remember: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/app-root-r-3-3-marshmallow-mtp-enabler.3263467/
You need root for it but thankfully SuperSU still works.
Aurora store still works so i can get apps there too.
Backed up my applications settings manually (not sure if i did it correctly, i just took copies of the Android/data and Android/obb folders for the apps i wanted, but strangely didn't need root).
Also installed Titanium backup to back them up properly and get some of the Le Eco system apps like camera, IR remote that i might need.
SMS with SMS backup and restore.
Not sure the best way to backup whatsapp, just transferred the folder manually.
So i'm not sure the best way to fix everything.
I cannot remember how to flash roms or do anything since it has been so long since i did it. Anyway I do not even know if it is possible without ADB? Surely it must be, otherwise i might be screwed. At least i have root so i guess that gives me more hope of being able to fix things.
I was really worried at one point because i was trying to run TWRP or something to see if it would recover things but i couldn't remember how and somehow i ended up in Qualcom download mode, with no screen or anything. I had no idea what had happened. If that happens to anyone else, i think you get into it by holding down the power and volume down buttons at the same time. And to get out of it i managed to do it by holding power and volume up buttons. After that i have been too scared to turn off the phone though!
BTW in system analyse, i see something called Le Eco key although it only shows the start and end of it. Is this some kind of encryption key and what is it for? I think i remember it being important when flashing CFW for the first time but i cannot remember...?
After i've managed to sort this i definitely want to wipe my phone and start from scratch though, getting something a lot more up to date on there. At least i have the little i care about backed up now. Will have to re-learn what to do!
I found this thread:
Notification area, "home" and "recent" buttons not working
(I'm running cuoco92 stable release, so I also posted in that thread. But maybe this section here is a better place for my problem) Hi there! Right after charging, the notification area and the "Home" and "Recent" buttons stopped working...
forum.xda-developers.com
However I don't know what Users are on my device. How do i find this out? I have root amaze file manager and i can download any apps. What terminal app would you recommend?
Thanks
