Hi all,
Since installing CM7 (20130201) and Mazout's 2.6.32.60 kernel, my phone's home and search buttons are no longer functioning. Any ideas how to fix it? These are important functions.
It also doesn't go to sleep anymore, even when I push the power button.
Sounds like some gremlin mischief. Have you tried using the nullifier to wipe?

Thanks TwitchyEye. That worked, for a while, but the issues are back now. And randomly, the menu/home/back/search icons light up when the phone's otherwise asleep.

Those are your lights acting as a notification. You can turn it off in cyanogenmod settings.

Settings => CyanogenMod settings => Interface => LED notifications. I select unconfigured then, edit category settings, LED mode, and force LED off. I suppose if you wanted to you could set individual settings for applications. There's also a few apps in the play store that take care of it too.
I've been trying to keep the G+ app from running. The only reason I want it is for the G+ photos app. It's much easier to keep track of all my backed up photos. If I disable G+, then photos app disappears as well. I used app ops X to remove all permissions including keeping awake, and I also greenified it. It still keeps waking up the device. I often check BBS and see G+ app itself kept it awake for 8 min at a time which is really annoying seeing as I don't even use it. My question is, would it be a good idea to convert G+ to a user app? Could that keep it from being so persistent? And would it cause any problems? Of course the best thing to do would just be to try it but I figure I ask first. Also, I've never converted a system app to user before and I found an app that does it automatically. Would it be better to do it manually?
Try freezing it in Titanium Backup
odd. i use g+, and often. yet it NEVER wakes my device. if you are using it to bsckup your photos, then thats why its probably waking your device, to upload photos. it uploads at a slow speed, so it can take some time to upload photos, which would keep your device awake.

Do you think that would get rid of the photos app? I don't have Titanium Backup so I wanted to make sure it doesn't before I bought it.

My backup is turned off. The only reason I want the app is to have access to all of my photos. I rarely back them up. Usually if I'm clean flashing something.

my auto back i keep off at all times, but i do keep g+ sync on always. i also keep google photos auto backup(sync setting) disabled all the time. maybe that google photos auto backup sync setting is doing it?

it's possible, I actually just found that setting today and I turned it off so I will see how it behaves. I just couldn't understand how it was waking up even though I denied its wakeup permission.

usually there are multiple services involved, so if you dont disable all of them, it can actually make it worse as one service is trying to work but the other cant.

I noticed something interesting. I went back and allowed all G+ permissions, and this morning I got a notification from google photos. I removed notifications from G+, and then went into the sync options and for some reason all of the G+ syncs were checked. I unchecked all of them yesterday.
I have unchecked all sync options, it's installed as an user app, greenified it, used disable service to disable a few things but still G+ wakes up the device at least 5-10 times over night. The periods are very minute and usually between 2-5 seconds.
Never had this issue on my previous device (HTC One X). I guess it's just the way it is.

Wow, that's interesting. Mine doesn't seem to wake up often. But when it wakes up it runs for around 10 min before greenify takes care of it. I just found it really annoying how I went to disable the sync and it re-enabled it. Having it as a user app, did you notice the sync options being automatically rechecked?

Besides that, I noticed the battery life with and without G+ and it's pretty much the same so I've made peace with myself over this annoyance. LOL :angel:

Hmm, maybe I'll try making it a user app and see if it works for me. By percentages G+ would sometimes take 6-10% of the battery which I wasn't happy about. Which method did you use to turn to user app?
In addition, I haven't even logged in yet to the photos app because I just clean flashed 4.4.4.

Yeah man. Since it wakes up for 10+ mins for you each time, the 10% loss is justified. That really sucks.
Just move the "com.google.android.apps.plus" file from /system/app OR /system/priv-app to /data/app. Fix permissions (rw-r-r) and then reboot.

Yes, ES would work just fine. Mount system as RW in ES and then copy the apk which I mentioned earlier and paste it in /data/app.
After transferring the file, Hold it, and select Properties in ES file explorer menu. A box will popup. See whether the permissions are set to "rw-r-r" over there and then reboot.

Yes. my bad. Cut and paste.
I decided to wait until the end of the day to see if the sync got reactivated. They were fine for the day, but I checked this morning and it was back. Game data/G+/G+ photos and G+ photo backup was ticked again. I'll change to user app tonight and see if same thing happens tomorrow morning.
@vin4yak It already checked the sync back on. I followed the instructions, including checking permissions but after rebooting G+would crash. It was the PlusOne.apk in system/app. I couldn't find the name you provided.
Hi everyone...
I was at the gas station last night, and thought I'd try using NFC/Google Wallet to try paying for something for the first time.
I went in to turn on NFC, and found that the option is completely grayed out. (The button is set to "on", but its grayed out, and cannot be turned off)
Android Beam is disabled/grayed out.
S Beam is enabled, but I can't seem to change it.
Tap and Pay is disabled, and says, "NFC is turned off".
Something is clearly FUBAR'd here.
I've tried rebooting a couple times.
I've tried pulling the battery (yes, its the original OEM battery).
I've tried wiping data for NFC.
I tried re-installing the stock ROM, and it didn't fix anything.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks..
Just a follow up here... I've also tried a complete wipe of the device... still no go.

Yes.
And when I did a complete wipe and re-install, I was able to verify that its happening with the stock kernel also, so I don't believe it to be a kernel issue.
I was able to try a different battery today... from someone else with an S5, and the same problem exists.
My next step is to try unrooting and going back to complete stock... obviously I'd like to avoid this if at all possible.
Any other suggestions? Anyone?
Well, I did it today.. unrooted, went back to full stock everything... and I still cant change the NFC setting on my S5.
If anyone has any other suggestions, I'm more than open to anything at this point...

No, but I may get it for this. What a bummer.
Could someone be so kind as to post a copy of their /data/data/com.android.nfc/shared_prefs/SamsungNfcPrefs.xml file for me?
Also, can you tell me if you have an nxpdevicehost.xml file in that same directory?
Thanks!
Here are the latest details. I feel like I'm so close, yet so far.
Background:
When I would reboot my S5, the NFC setting would be set to "On", but disabled and wouldn't let me change it. On top of that, my phone would never go into Deep Sleep. After exhaustive research, it appears that the phone was constantly trying to enable NFC, which prevented it from hitting Deep Sleep.
I've dug thru a lot of the AOSP code, and discovered the following.
- If I change the nfc_on tag from true to false in my NfcServicePrefs.xml, and add a line setting first_boot = false, NFC does not try to turn on when I reboot the next time (This solves my deep sleep problem).
- If I try to manually turn NFC on after that, it gets stuck the same as before I made any changes to the XML file.
- Based on this code, it looks like there is a java call to "mDeviceHost.initialize()". I'm guessing this is where I'm getting borked.
- The initalize function, found here, seems to want a file called NxpDeviceHost.XML. I cannot find this file anyplace on my S5.
My assumption here is that Samsung forked this process and made their own internal changes. I'm looking at AOSP code, but that doesn't help if Samsung changed things on their end.
Can ANYONE help me debug things from here? I'm a developer by trade, but have never worked in JAVA (although I've figured out how to read enough of it to become dangerous). I dont need a lot of hand-holding... just a push in the right direction here.
Thanks!

I have the same issue on an LG-e970. The NFC option is checked and grayed out, I can't change it. It's always been this way since I got the phone. The new problem in the past 48 hours is some OTA update is causing Nfc Service to prevent the phone from sleeping, but I have no idea what it is. I thought maybe Google Wallet so I uninstalled it, but the problem remains. It happened well after the Android 4.4.4 Cm11-M8 update for this phone. I filed a bug at code google dot com bug ID 74037, which this silly forum won't let me post because I'm too new and it doesn't understand the difference between a google code URL and spam.
Weird. So I powered off the phone, let it charge to 100%, booted in safe mode, Settings > Storage > Cache and reset it, rebooted in normal mode, and let the phone sit unused for 1 hour. The problem with Nfc Service is not occurring, the phone is sleeping most of the time now. When I go to Settings > More > NFC is unchecked, not grayed out. Inexplicable, because I've had no way to uncheck it.
So I just checked it, and it immediately grays out so I can't uncheck it again. I'm leaving the phone unused for another hour and see where things are at.

Nfc Service is once again the top battery consumer and won't let the system sleep. The bugreport for the state with the problem (in contrast to the report for the state without the problem):
many instances of:
07-24 11:23:16.870 1064 8319 E NFCJNI : emergency_recovery: NFC stack dead-locked
and also

Wake Locks: size=1
PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK 'NfcService:mRoutingWakeLock' (uid=1027, pid=1064, ws=null)
I've booted recovery, formatted /cache and erased Dalvik cache, see where that goes... obviously if I can figure out how to disable the NFC option again, that solves the no sleep problem.

Hi everyone,
I decided to reflash stock and i'm running into some problems with enabling accessibility services for greenify and pushbullet. Somehow I managed to turn these on, I have then turned pushbullet off with no issues. Trying to re-enable this I get the "Use Pushbullet?" prompt with the cancel and OK buttons. I am unable to click OK... only cancel works.
Does anyone else have this problem? I've reflashed about 3 times now... md5 of image is OK so I just wanted to see if you all can enable and disable accessibility services without any issues.
Thanks

I have this exact same problem with every single app in Accessibility... I threw on Lollipop and have yet to be able to click OK. It doesn't even register as a button. Hopefully someone sees this and has a clue as to what is going on.
I wonder if this is a bug... :S

I doubt it, or at least if it is it's a very small one since I have yet to see anything else about it. You're the first person I've encountered with the same issue, funny how you mention both Greenify and Pushbullet (I have both and I didn't notice the issue until after I tried enabling Greenify)

I've been struggling with this exact issue on both my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 wifi. Flash to stock, setup my account, start the restore process, apps start installing, I wait until either LastPass or AutoVoice are installed and then I can immediately go in and enable accessibility for it. Anything after than and it can't click on the OK button. My theory is that you get one shot at setting whatever applications. It's definitely a bug that not app or hardware specific.

Thanks for finding the root cause! Seems like we're a bunch of people using the same apps.
GOOD GRIEF! This was so annoying. THANK YOU! This was driving me crazy. I am writing this on Jan 7 2015, I dont think the author knows this is an issue. I will write to him/her. Thanks again. On a Nexus 6 5.0.1
Same problem with app called Twilight. Pausing the app allows OK button to register.
Same thing for "good sleep pro". Highly unexpected. Big thanks!

For me it was "Bluelight Filter". Thanks for setting me in the right direction.
Not a Nexus 5 user but...
I still use a Sprint Galaxy Nexus (toroplus) but, it was Lux for me too. The two reasons I didn't think it could have been Lux are, first, after this same issue came to light with the install button on sideloaded apps, they made Lux auto pause on screens where their overlay could cause issues. Second, it's daytime where I am right now. The screen dimming overlay shouldn't be active during the day. Either way, I think I'll need to poke the Lux devs to inform them that their experimental work around still isn't working in the accessibility menu.
Anyway, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I'll just have to remember to disable Lux when I need to perform protected actions.
Thank you! HTC One M8 user, and killing Lux helped!

May be you guys should try turning off the setting and restart, if that doesnt solve the problem go to recovery mode and clear cache. Let us know if any of that works.
On a side note: I have been facing weird ass issues with this phone just today my phone wont go to mute by using volume key while receiving a call. Like someone calls you and your phone is ringing, you just want to silence the ringtone you can use volume key (Press once), Flip the phone or put your palm over it (If you have the settings on). I tried multiple restarts and switched on and off the settings many times. It was fixed when i restarted my phone to download mode (This happened by mistake i wanted to go to recovery) anyhow that fixed it.

If they catch it. Consider which sensors and operation triggers it, cause and effect, to narrow it down.
Playing with Android is fun... Android witch hunts are how you really learn about Android's gooey layer tricks.
Google searches on older Notes and parallel Samsung models can turn up answers many times.
This model is too recent; so not near as much online troubleshooting info. Google searches encompass threads on this forum as well so it can be a good way to find the needle in the Android stack. Do not time limit searches.
On my 10+ with it's baffling bt poor audio I found the answer with something written about the N9.
Many of these issues are long standing.
Samsung finally fixed the bt settings issue in a Wearables update. That took years.

Well, I've checked all that and nothing, I don't even have the compass edge panel. But I think I'm able to replicate the issue, it mostly happens when my phone is face down on a surface and I pick it up and turn it to me, I don't have a case on it yet and I'm starting to think that it might have something to do with the edge screen but so far no luck
Use good lock. It has a module to detect vibrations and tell you what they are
Nice catch

Yeah, I installed it yesterday. But no vibrations are registered there so honestly I don't even know what to think now.
On the other hand when I switched from my note 10 plus I used smart switch, and now I'm thinking I should do a fresh start on my n20U.

There are apps that log notifications so you can just check the log and quickly determine what is causing the notification even if nothing is showing on-screen

Exactly check if you have Notistar from good lock switched on. That cache might need clearing.
I just go with it lol. I'm nutz. I'll feel my **** vibrate in my pocket when its sitting on the table. So I don't pay much mind to phantom vibrations. ???

It does suck some battery life though. It's one of the features I disable on my 10+ mostly because I find it annoying.
It's cool though how much you can customize notification behavior; one of the biggest reasons to go with Samsung is customization.
I play around with Settings a lot.. never crashed a load doing it. It's just occasionally gets time consuming to sort it out.
