Hey,
my gfs Ace is showing some very strange behaviour. At random times when she tries to use it it just won't react to anything. Neither home nor power button unlock the screen, holding power button doesn't do anything (neither turn on nor off). Adb won't connect to the phone. All one can do is remove the battery, after that it'll let you turn it on and work just fine.
Happens like every 2 days and so far I couldn't spot any pattern. Firmware is 2.3.4 KPH
Is anyone else seeing this or any idea what could be causing it?
Yes, it's called SOD (sleep/standby of death) and it happenes to me sometimes and some other people i know that have ACEs...there's no fix i'd know about..yet
does it happen with any firmware or was it just introduced? any idea whether it's just some bad phones so she could get a different without the bug?
Hello!
My problem: I push the power button short on my Galaxy S2 to go sleep mode. The screen is goes black, the phone went sleep mode. I leave it on the table and I see the display is light up for 1-2 seconds and then off. This happening for 4-5 times then the sleeping continues for a long period.
What causes this problem? What can I do against it?
I've ben uninstalled almost all later installed programs, stay only stock apps +Titanium Backup, SPB Shell 3D, Dropbox, iGO, Adobe Reader, LogMeIn and Superuser (packaged in DoomLord's Easy rooting toolkit - that I've ben used to rooting my phone). Factory unlocked, rooted phone. All mobile data connection disabled - aviabled network connections are wifi and USB. I'm not using live wallpaper.
I think one of the apps try connectint to internet at this time, because when I turn on the wifi I get an application advise.
Android version: 2.3.4 Gingerbread
Build: GINGERBREAD.XWKI4
Any solution, suggestion?
(sorry my bad english)

Same problem here. Sometimes when i put the phone to sleep, after a short period of time the screen turns on, and stays so until i put it again to sleep or wait until the timer (i use 15 seconds here) to power the screen off. This happens with or without wifi/3g so i think that's not a problem with an app trying to access internet.
Other annoying issue is when i'm charging the phone, sometimes when it reaches 100%, the screen turns on to say that's full charged, and continues on like.... forever. I noticed that when i put the phone to charge before sleeping and mornings when i go take the phone off the charge, the screen is already on for a long time.
Im using Stock Frankestein ROM 2.3.6 XWKK5 with CF "stock" root Kernel, with out Set CPU or any other Governor. Also using stock launcher.

i have a similar issue , opened a thread here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405606
also added logcat , you can see the process thats trying to run multiple times , and wont stop until i press something .
this is very bad .if this happens at night , your phone might stay with screen on for hours , with the same image , the image will burn onto the screen eventually .
i'm running 2.3.6 KK5, siyah kernel , go launcher ,pattern lockscreen .
Thank you for hints guys!
I think I find it! I use SPB Shell 3D launcher. In the settings of this app checked the 'using mobile data network to download weather informations' (or something like). I unchecked it and this effect was gone - at least last evening... Now I using wifi and reinstalled all applications like before and now no ads.
But this means I think well - an application try to access internet (with GSM data connection) but the service provider denied, beause I've no subscribe.
So I advocate for you to search something settings like this in your apps.
i have that issue as well..i tried few different roms and kernels but no luck. so its hardware issue i think.. .
Used to happen to me a lot,until i installed Go launcher and Go locker.I know its not exactly a solution but at least its working,plus anything else than the stock samsung lock screen is soooo much better.
And the end... Uninstall all apps which are using ads whit AirPush technology. How do you know which are they? The AirPush Detector helps you find them - search on Google Play it's free!
Thanks for your attention!

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).
My P7510 started to do a strange thing.
I usually never turn off the device and I just let it in sleep mode with everything off to save battery (wifi, bluetooth, ...)
Lately I noticed that sometimes the screen turns on and off by itself every few minutes.
No physical harm has ever been done to the tab and the power button doesn't seem to be sticky, so I think it may be some kind of malware.
I'm just asking what do you guys think could cause this before going with the trouble of doing a factory reset.
btw i'm on rooted stock ics rom.
thanks
Have you installed any sort of app that has permissions to wake the device or turn on/keep the screen on when running? Try uninstalling a couple of recent apps to see if one of them is the culprit.
after exchanging my phone due to the reboot problem, im encountering a new problem
my screen sometimes turns on by itself, and if i try to operate it at that point, the screen will turn black and nothing is functional except for the soft buttons and the pull down menu, only restart will solve this
sometimes it will also just crash to black even without the screen turning on by itself scenario
does anyone have the same issue? i suspect this is a software problem
I just got the z5 last night, and experienced the same problem this morning. Turns out that if you give the power button a 'double click', the screen comes back on. So this solves the problem reported above.
HOWEVER, there must be a setting (I hope) which we can change, I find it very irritating that as soon as I make a call, the screen goes blank, and you have to double-click the power button to see what is happening. If anyone knows about such a setting, please let us know!
My screen went black about an hour ago.
After Hotspotting for 40ish minutes so I could use my iPhone on the way to work on the train, I tried to check this forum with my Z5C, the back of it was really hot & after a few minutes, the screen went black & the phone was unresponsive for around 20 seconds & then basically unusable once it came back on, for another 20ish seconds, due to lag.

Did you ever find a resolution for this? it is driving me crazy, I've tried factory resets, software repairs via the Sony Companion and this still occurs, sometimes it won't happen for a week then sometimes it happens multiple times in a row even straight after a reboot. The fix that RohitMayor describes does not work on my device. This phone is really terrible compared to the Z3 Compact
I have the same issue. This pb occurs since i have update my phone to 6.0.1...
Any solution ?
