Hi all!
I have installed and uninstalled greenify about 3 times now on my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, Sprint, running the new nougat update. I like the app but I will wake up at night and find my phone screen is turned on. I will look down if it's sitting on my desk and see that it's turned on. This can't be good for the screen. This can't be right, my phone cannot be turning itself on for no reason at all. I uninstall the app and it has gone back to normal completely. It also seems to happen when it's charging. Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated as always. Thank you so much.

Automated hybernation - maybe this couses it. I assume you are not rooted.
You are absolutely correct that I am not rooted anymore. I quit rooting my phone years ago. The problem with what you sent me though, is the phone just stays on and it doesn't go back to sleep again. How could that be good for the battery or the screen?.

Obviously not by design. You can try transitioning Greenify to a system app but I doubt that will help. Likely a compatibility issue with your hardware or ROM. Probably best to not to use this app given stock Nougat does a pretty good job managing inactive app background activity. Unfortunately, the most powerful Greenify features are not available on Android 7 given no Xposed Framework support.
Well, unfortunately my phone turned on by itself again last night even without greenify. Any thoughts of where I should be looking for that?

Lately my tab has been turning off by itself and it takes me a long time to turn it back on by holding the power button. Has a fix been found for this problem yet? I'm a little worried that one day the thing won't turn on again. Sometimes the tab is charged when it turns off, and I'm never using the thing when it does, so battery isn't really the issue. Any suggestions?

Are you rooted? Running a custom ROM? Running any extra mods at all?
No, I'm fully stock,never been rooted. Willing to root if the problem can be fixed though through a rom or something
i've made good strides in combating this.
But, you must have CWM installed in order to flash.
When you are ready to do this, then head over to the dev section, kernel thread.
In the meantime, set wifi to never sleep, and see if that cures some of it.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

To be honest if you have a completely stock machine I would call samsung and get them to check it, it sounds faulty. I work for a large computer retailler and haven't seen a single one behaving like yours out of hundreds.

Hey everyone, im having a huge wakelock problem with this network-location-cell-update....im not using latitude and nothing is asking for my location. please help.
Bump. Anyone know?
Galaxy S2 -UnNamed-
It started happening to me as well since yesterday. The only thing i can suspect at this point is running speedtest. It did trigger gps to turn on and i turned gps off later. But this service continued to run in the background. The problem is to figure out how to terminate it.
Is yours still running or is shut down now?

Recently it would come on and turn it self off. I haven't done anything other than flash the two latest updates of unnamed. But before when it came on it stayed on. I will keep you updated.
Edit: not sure if you still have this issue. Only way I have found around it is to restart phone or freeze network location in tibu then defrost it.

My phone occasionally doesn't get locked automatically. Whenever I receive a message or notification, the screen would come up but doesn't go back into sleep mode after certain time. It just stays awake unless you lock it manually. It doesn't happen all the time but I've noticed it's happening more frequently now days. This just kills my battery life.
Is this known issue with the phone? My phone is just rooted without any custom roms. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
I'm having the exact same problem, it would be much appreciated if someone can suggest a solution. I'm currently running the base ROM.
When I got the phone a few days ago mine would take time to lock. I went to settings > display>lockscreen>lock timer and set it to immediately. It has worked fine since - rooted, stock rom.
Hiya pony!!
The issue I have is mine never sleeps when charging. I have to manually lock it while charging. Fine otherwise.

I am experiencing the same problem as everyone. I just noticed it now. Everything set to minimum of staying awake. I have to manually lock it too. Noticed it when I was charging. I havent noticed it before until now. Also some chargers dont work well with the Optimus G which causes the touchscreen to be sensored when nothing is touching it. I dont know why its staying awake besides that.

If you are using the base ROM, there is a script that gets run each boot that sets the stay awake option to on in the developer options.
It was left over from some testing of the ROM. Nottach said it was safe to get rid of.
The offending script is in /system/etc/init.d/
It is called 69thebase (or something like that, I no longer have the file, I know it is numbered 69).
After you delete it, just go back to developer options and make sure stay awake is unchecked and reboot.
Original Post
Now, you have had issues with non-LG chargers causing touch issues?
I let a family member borrow mine because they left theirs at work. I have been using my old phones charger, and just noticed my screen is really bad when plugged in... it loses touch and it is really slow.
It is from the charger and not the phone?
Awesome.
Thanks.

Couple of things.
One, with upgrades like this, it's usually a good idea to do a factory reset after backing up your data. 4.3 was like this.
Two, when installing an update/new Rom, sometimes it takes a couple of days for it to "calm down" and settle in.
Thanks lawless.

About the screen off during phone calls; there's a setting in the Call menu you can tick to prevent the screen cutting off during calls. That might be it.
Hi all. I am hoping you guys an help as I am about to go back to my Nexus 6 at this point. I got a 64gb Galaxy S6 edge shipped to me at the end of March. On the first day I activated it I got the pop up that there was a software update so I did that. Every single review I've read talk to how the lag is almost gone, no overheating issues, etc. I stayed away from Samsung for so long because TouchWiz completely destroyed the Android experience for me, causing intense lag and slow down. If there is anything I can't stand when using a smartphone it is lag. Anyway, it seemed to work ok at first but I quickly noticed that it would get extremely hot for absolutely no reason at all. It will also completely lag out for no reason. For example. I'll go to unlock the phone from the lock screen and the animation will show it was swiped but it will just sit there for up to 20 seconds before doing anything. Often it just goes back to a black screen and I have to press the home button to try and unlock it again. If I try to use Google Maps many times it just hangs there for what seems like forever before it will move forward to actually start the navigation process. Navigating between music apps is painstakingly slow. I have powered off the unit multiple times, closed all open apps multiple times, etc and it doesn't seem to do anything. It will work better for a short time and then does it again. When I try to launch the camera it is supposed to launch super fast. At times I just sit there and wait. It is extremely frustrating. The longest I've had it sit there and freeze or lag has been close to a minute.
It also always seems like it is reallllllly warm, even after just a short while of using it. Again, it isn't every time I use it but more like 70% of the time. It could be resting in my pocket and get really hot, for example. It makes no sense.
Is my unit boned, or is this a common issue? I asked my developer friend and he suggested I turn off animations, etc. but why would I need to do this? I bought the phone with some crazy octa-core processor and tons of memory so it should breeze through all of this like nothing. My Nexus 6 almost never had any lag whatsoever and I would really like to think this phone is capable of more than what it is doing right now.
Any suggestions you guys have are more than welcome. I really like the phone but am at the point where if I can't get this awful lag/hanging issues fixed it is going on eBay =(.
Thanks for your time .

Quick answer factory reset see if that helps if not take it back to the store
I have no lag at all
I do have Lookout Mobile Security enabled, but it is only using like 7MB of ram. That wouldn't be causing this would it? I checked online at forum sites and it doesn't appear as though it would.
My first (S6 not edge) was like that. Turned into a handwarmer, got so hot it was literally burning hot! Took it back to the TMO store. Manager could not believe how hot the phone was, the box was warm and the phone inside was like a hot potato! Still frozen on the white TMobile splash screen from where it locked and stayed for hours. The phone was never really right. Got it exchanged for an Edge and it has been problem free, hardware wise.
Sounds like you have a bad one.
The Nexus 6 is a good phone, was going to sell mine but I need it to work with Google-Fi.
As suggested above, I would try factory reset first. Mine is very responsive even in power savings mode. It's just fast. I leave animation on at the default 1x. Did you look to see which apps are running the CPU up?
before a factory reset, try to go into recovery mode and clear cache. I've found on the tmobile version that once i got into recovery mode it did something of a small update automatically (in reading the scripts) and that doing that and then clearing cache really helped my battery drain i was having- might fix your lag too.
Clearing cache and factory reset after the update stopped my lag.
The battery though, just sucks. I'm down to 35% in 6 hours with less than 30 minutes of use.
I'm missing my nexus 6 at the moment. I hope I didn't mess up buying this.

Guys I'm fairly certain this is just the typical 5.0.1 problem... I'm experiencing it too and factory wipes only fix temporarily.
Had same thing on my Moto X 2014 and went away with 5.1 update.

Hi there. Thanks for this tip. I went ahead and did this and it did a software update as soon as I went into recovery. I cleared out the cache as well and it seems to be much zippier now. What I have found with Samsung phones, though, is that usually they work fine for a few days and then end up going to hell. Thanks for your help and I will keep an eye on this. If it keeps ending up working poorly I will go back to the Nexus 6.

I really hope that's not the case since Samsung takes 10 times longer than any other OEM to update Android
Encountered a bit of lag again earlier. Cleared out cache again via recovery and resolved it. Definitely think I have a bum unit or something with this version of Android

I thought the main lollipop memory issue was tracked down to boot up animation and Touchwiz devices are not meant to have this, therefore the fix Google has made to stock devices has no bearing on Touchwiz. Basically the issues we have are Touchwiz related not Lollipop specific, though Samsung must be delighted as we all throw blame at Google it diverts blame.
One such bug is the*boot animation memory leak*bug which consumes greater amounts of memory during boot forcing the kernel to kill few process (might be core services as well) causing severe lags.*arter97*of XDA has found a work around for this issue and according to him*“the current Lollipop boot animation implementation does not releases the resources held to*playprevious frames”*which might be the root cause of the issue.
According to the developer’s research, almost all the devices (except for the Touchwiz based Samsung device) fall prey to this bug causing highly unstable UI.
