[Q] Why does my screen come on by itself?

The lockscreen whether its charging or not comes on by itself at random times and sometimes several times in a row. When its not charging, it obivously kills my battery. I thought it might be related to the rom im using, but i have tried several different roms and they all do the same thing. Another thing is my speakerphone will come on by itself when i answer a call. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

any ideas?

Sounds like something is set to turn the screen on. Do you have any custom messaging apps? What rom are you running? any mods? please provide as much info about your phone as you can to help find the issue

Right now i am running Android Revolution. When i first got the phone it had the Ingersoll Rom installed and i don't remember it doing it then, but since then i have tried, coredroid, rcmix3d, virtuous, honeysense, leedroid and they all do it. I have both "s" off. No i did have chompsms installed a while back, but have done several data wipes since then. No other mods. It is eating the hell out of my battery by doing this and i am starting to regret trading my iphone for it.

I would flash a sock rom and see if it does it. might be a phantom file that is not getting over written. If it doesnt do it then then reload the rom. are you restoring any system data or apps?

Sounds like you have a device issue, car panel should only come on when it is plugged into the car dock, might be a USB port issue

Sorry to hear ur issues. I can understand ur frustration but don't leave a general remark like this, cos what u r experiencing could be a stray issue due to some random app.
Anyways, coming to ur issue, try this once:
1. Format ur SD card
2. Copy the Android Revolution 5.1.10 (I am saying this ROM cos I've been using this since 5.1.7 and its been good all along)
3. Go to CWM console
4. Do the factory wipe option (data/cache wipe)
5. Go to advanced and wipe the dalvik cache
6. Flash the ROM
7. Reboot
Do NOT restore any apps or data using TiBu.
Let me know how it goes. (I am subscribing to this thread )
Edit:
1. I had the speaker phone turning on issue on a couple ROMs, but didn't face it in Ginger Beast and this ROM.
2. Reg. car panel, I heard this issue on here many times on different ROMs. U cud simply freeze the app or delete it altogether if u r not using it. And like Zel said, this could be cos the charger u r using has current coming through that's around the same range as that of car charger.

Is it possible the sdcard is bad? I am about to format and reinstall android revolution right now. Ill post the results.

OK, flashed Android Revolution. The speakerphone still comes on automatically. Will keep an eye on the screen to see what it does. I have not any installed any mod, or apps yet. Totally clean install.

OK, it didnt do it as often, but the screen still came on. I'm not 100% sure, but i think it came on as data was being used? i noticed the data arrows moving. Formatting and flashing coredroid now and testing.

1. Did u restore any apps?
2. Do u have any of ur apps on SD card?

nope and nope

This is strange... Hearing for the first time. Could u pls post this on the Android Revolution thread and see if anyone else faced this issue. As far as I can recall, I don't remember seeing any such thing on that thread.
Edit: You could try re-downloading the ROM zip. Sometimes zips can be corrupt too.
This time when u try, please backup ur data on SD card, and format it fresh, and load only the rom zip on it.

Lockups and reboots

Hey guys, my warranty is coming close to it's end so I would like to know if this is a hardware issue or a rom issue. When I was on ICBINB GB my phone started to lock up for about 5-10 seconds and then it would flash the "Samsung Galaxy S 4G" screen and reboot. I figured it was the rom so I switched to Audiophile FTW Edition So Fn loud your ears will Cream. For a while all was well, but now it's doing it more and more. I was wondering if I did the install wrong or what. I didn't notice it until switching to Gingerbread so does that have something to do with it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

for testing flash a stock rom clear all caches evne re parttion if u have to to clear everything move all important data off the sd card reformat it put the data u need back on the card reinstall all apps from market... Test the stock rom for a few days if no issues arise its a good chance its not so much the rom but more issues with the gb leaks u can also try a stock gb build dont use a modified stock just stock see if it does it....

Thanks, I was hoping that this was a known issue with a solution
I'll try what you suggested. Thanks

And after all that good info RaverX3X gave ... he meant to hit the Thanks button... So I will do it for him

haha, I'm horrible with remembering that. Thanks for the reminder

For anyone else who may have this problem, it seems as if TWlauncher was the issue. The rom I was on didn't include TWlauncher so I installed it manually. It stopped locking up and rebooting so hopefully that was it. Thanks for everyone's help

Frustrating problem: Stock Rogers GB and Swype Crashing in Marketplace

Hey everyone,
I've been running the Stock Rogers GB with FUGU root for a few months now, and I have been dealing with a frustrating problem for most of that time. Whenever I download an app update through the marketplace, the phone freezes for a second or two and I get an error message telling me that Swype has crashed. Sometimes it freezes to the point I have to pull the battery, none of the buttons work and I can't even power off holding the power button for 10-15 seconds.
Has anyone else had this problem? I am wondering if it's Swype or the root method causing the problem(I have redone both installs numerous times)? Some interoperability issues I'm not aware of?
Please don't suggest installing Custom ROM A or B, I am more interested in what is causing this issue more than trying to fix it at the moment. I am happy with everything the Rooted Stock offers me for the time being, with the exception of this issue.
Any input will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Why don't you try custom ROM with Swype included?

Either you're trolling me or you totally didn't read.
Thanks.

Try a factory/data reset, start fresh and from there try it!

I was on Rogers Stock GB before and I don't remember having those problem. Try doing what B-eock said, do a back up of your files (photos, music etc...) and do a factory reset.

[Q] Stock Camera not working in Sensation

Hi, i've bought an unlocked T-Mobile HTC Sensation and was running Android Revolution HD for Sensation gingerbread. my Camera app has suddenly stopped working... I've tried updating to latest ICS from Android Revolution HD 6.5.1 but still the camera is not working. when i start the app... the screen flashes and then again I'm back on the home screen. Strangely, when using application "mirror" it starts the front camera... and that is working fine... and i've tried multiple apps from market for back camera...but its not working using any of them... can you please help me out with this... any help in this would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks

this is weird did you tried other camera apps?
if its still not working then
do a superwipe and flash rom again and see(this method erases data ..so backp them before hand)

Similar problem, if i click the camera or camcorder icon the screen goes black, it either stays black until i take the battery out or it crashes and restarts?! Weird, cant use it to take pics in any other apps either. front camera is fine on skype though...!? everything is uptodate nothing was updated recently?! Anyone
(Im on stock)

This happened to me once when i was stock. I would do a battery pull and it would work again..but finally did a hard restore through recovery and cleared all the caches and that worked. Now im rooted and on energy GB rom and I have not had that problem anymore.
Just flashing a new rom did not help. I actually had to do a factory reset on the ROM as well..in the Setting/storage.

Never ran into this problem

Have u tried maybe a different rom??

I would suggest clearing the app data.

Have you news. I have the same problem and have yet to find any solution. If you have one I'd be grateful for it.

Go to Task Manager>>Advanced>>All apps>>Find the Camera app and select it>>Force Close if it is running & then Clear Data.
This should fix it.
If not, get this app. Go to primary and secondary camera, & check if they both work.
If it works, then there's a problem with the stock app.
If not, there is either a problem with the camera or with camera access.
I would suggest reflashing your current ROM, since this seems to solve issues, many a time.

Try installing another pyramid
have you tried to download a special or customized pyramid from the sensation android development department and then tried out your 4g??? a customized pyramid + tweaks will allow the htc camera to work because the htc family usually creates htc's like as if they were real babies.. the htc's adapt to you and then little by little all the problems like "over-heating reset, camera faults and random keyboard touches" are common problems with the htc... installing a different pyramid or returning it for another new one will usually fix this..

As far as I can tell, your camera is not being detected.
I would recommend that you do this:
1>NANDROID backup
2>SuperWipe (it can be found in this post at the very end)
3>Re-install ROM (Remember to check MD5 before installing)
4>Check if the Camera works.
If not, then Super Wipe and restore your previous backup.
If it works, get back to me. (PM me if I don't reply)
If you have further questions, feel free to ask.

[Q] I really need help : (

Hello,
I apologize in advanced if this thread is double.
I have drain all options and I just dont know what to do any more...
Did someone have problems with answering calls and canceling the same?
for example.
If somebody calls me, I cannot answer(I press answer button and nothing happens, or it happend after 10 sec)
Also it is the same case with canceling calls
If I talk with somebody when I want to end call I just cannot end call!
NOTE
this is not happening always(maybe every 4 call)but it is killing me...
I tryed with official froyo, gigner, custom...
So if anybody have any idea I will be happy!
Thank you all

hi,
i dont have any problems while i am typing messages ,and phone is not overheating. only this problem with calls!!!
so far i have so many problem maybe it is best just to sell it
do you have anything on your mind what can be couse of this?!
tnx

Have you try to use recovery option using LG mobile support tools ?

hmmm, i guess I could tried that.
I suppose I must un-root phone and restore official firmware to avoid bricking phone?

I have upgraded my O3D from rooted froyo using LG mobile support tools and it was smooth.
I dont think you need to un-root your O3D.

Recovery was not helpful....I suppose nobody doesent have any more idea?

Try to flash baseband to 20e or 20c.

I had this issue with Cyanogenmod roms otherwise if you have Clockworkmod flashed, just clear your cache and it should work temporarily. this used to happen to me on occasion and it seemed to fix it for the time being.

This is happening on EVERY rom .Two days ago I have installed Promethius Project V1.4, and so far I have no problem with answering calls.I will wait a little more and see.In the meantime if problem appears i will clear the cashe and see the result.
One small question,when you say to clear cashe,you mean cashe partishion or cashe in mount and storage menu?
Thanks!

Samno sets the call ring delay to 0 in Promethius build props.. Most other roms set to 300 I think. This may be your fix
Also it is based on new v21e so that could be it as well.
