[Q] Defy turning screen off for no reason? - General Questions and Answers

hi.
so last week i got a brand new motorola defy.
since then i have set the screen auto-off to one minute.
however, occasionaly the screen will turn off, seemingly at-will while i am right in the middle of something!
any idea why? this is quite frustrating and it is only occasionally so i cannot recreate the event.
running adw over motoblur-froyo on the defy in US of A.
thanks!

Sounds like it could be a faulty screen or crappy software, I suggest you ask to have this thread moved to the Defy section. Since they could help more.

that sounds like a great idea.
who do I contact and how?

My Screen keeps turning on by itself!

when i have my phone locked and im not even touching it, every few minutes the screen will turn on and sit there for around 30 seconds then will turn back on a few mins later, this is very annoying and im sure uses a ton of battery over the course of a day, im running leedroid 3.1.2 and it used to do it on 3.1.1 so idk if its rom related
Are you sure your not getting notifications??or if any app is causing it (alerts?)?

Check for any stray apps. Install "Battery history for GB" app from market and check for apps that are using "wake lock" excessively.
I had a similar problem with my inspire. It seemed to be caused by a faulty usb cable. After I plugged my phone into my car charger it started working fine.
I have an Inspire 4G with the same problem. I doubt that it is an app, because I changed the rom 3 times so far. And with every one of them, the problem persists. Anyway, i'm trying the Battery log now.

Do you have any apps that you set up profiles for, i.e. Llama? They can be buggy sometimes with the screen commands.
I have the same problem. Going to have to waste my upgrade in august for a new inspire. I am trying battery history for gb now. IF anyone has any ideas, please lets us know. This is absolutely ridicolous.

annoying screen randomly turning on
Hey I've been having the same issue, my SGS I9000 international version keeps turning the screen on by itself randomly, I've flashed my phone back to stock Eclair 2.1 and then I went to Froyo, Cyannogen mode 7, ICS rom which I forgot the name of it, and then I'm running on the new value pack now which is 2.3.6XXJW4 however nothing has solved this damn problem, my screen keeps turning on and it's killing my battery, help please..!! I've tried to see if the sensor is not working, however I believe it's something else.. please let me know if someone has fix for this..!
I'm running LeeDroid v5.1.1 and haven't experienced this yet. I've been running it close to 2 weeks now with no real issues. Just an occasional lag spike on wake up.

Lockscreen Response FIX!

So I have been reading on all the "problems" that this device has, and I've stayed pretty quiet about all the griping over minor things. (coming from the Vibrant and the G2X makes me pretty resilient to "bugs".
Sadly no one ever really talked about how it is a software problem. Everyone wanted it to be hardware related even though the touchscreen works for every other app.
(hops off soapbox)
Here's the fix, it's quite simple.
1) go to HTC hub and download a new theme (mine was music lover)
2) apply the theme
3) reboot phone
4) pull the ring to unlock
5) go back to XDA and hit the thanks button
I've replaced mine so I don't have it right now.
Unresponsiveness is not just lockscreen issue. It was effecting every apps on mine. I couldn't type, get carousel effect etc. Does this solve all of these?

Looks like you didn't read carrefully As I said I've replaced mine so I don't have this issue on my new device. That means I can't test this.
I never had unresponsiveness in any other app. Maybe I just got a perfect Sensation... well almost perfect (s-on)
Mine is so damn responsive, sometimes when I scroll the application drawer a little bit it opens an application

I saw the 'unresonponsive' threads, and was somehwat amused, since my screen appears to behave normally...but for the heck of it, I tried the carousel, and could NOT get it to rotate fast AT ALL! Other regular nav/touches worked fine. I just tried this 'fix', and can now get fast rotation on carousel easily! It was worth clearing defaults (LancherPro) and playing with it to get this 'fix' working. Now, back to LPro!

Can you just apply one of the themes already on the phone? busted did not work, no thanks here. Just dloaded and installed music lover, no go. Who said the problem works in every other app? mine does not. Anywhere you try to swipe/scroll. home screens, contacts, pictures, LOCK RING, fruit ninja.. registers as a touch( a lot of touches) instead of a swipe. I dont think a software update will fix it. If it would then it should work when i restore phone to factory defaults, it does not, yet it worked fine at those same settings when it was new.

That is the problem! lol that is NON responsive. Swipes are not registering as swipes, instead registers as a tap. Thats why an app opens. I open an app almost every time i try to scroll through the app drawer. NOT how it should be.

Why you always gottqa be freaking negative? Even on the fre3vo thread you freaking out on people. I tested this on mine, 1 swipe and the carousel appears.

I have to agree this did make a difference in the 3D carousel spinning. I don't know about other issues as I have not had them yet.

Ok let me be positive and see if that helps. brb.. Nope, still no carousel. All i did was inform you that what you think is actually good, is in fact one of the issues. Our sensations should not be opening apps when swiping. My evo didnt, my N1 didnt, my iphone didnt, but the newest latest and greatest device does. I have a right to be negative. Sorry if i offended you.

[Q] Camera turning itself on

Hi
I love my Sensation, but I do have one small problem. Whenever I use it I seem to catch the camera with my thumb and have to turn off the camera before I use the phone. I realise I could just move the camera button, but then I would just get the same issue with another app.
Has no-one else had this? It happens both with stock ROM and ARHD (currently using 6.6.5)
Not to be rude, but it doesn't sound like a "phone" issue...
To answer your question, no I do not have that problem.
Well, I beg to differ, but it is a phone issue, as that portion of the screen appears to be over-sensitive. I thought other people may have had the same problem and the fact that they haven't would seem to indicate that it could be a fault with my phone, which is what I was trying to establish.

Interesting choice of words there.
Overly sensitive?? You happen to touch the icon for the camera app, it opens, and you're surprised?

Really? Your goal appears to be condescension. I am not an idiot, I have owned other smartphones, even other HTCs, but even my palm on the side of the screen opens the camera. I am not even directly touching the icon.
Please don't bother replying to this, as it is not helpful, but IS very annoying.
Have you tried just kind of training yourself not to touch it? I believe that is the first and potentially last step to solving this problem.
Took phone back to shop, they agreed that the screen was faulty and it has now been fixed so that the problem no longer occurs.
Still, thanks for your help folks

Pantech burst p9070

Ive just recently bought the Pantech burst p9070 and so far im impresst with the phone except for a couple of things like screen viability in the sun, HD pics & video and one of my favorites, HDMI. I very much do hope Pantech will add these great features to the burst soon. With that said is their a legitament root that works for the Pantech burst p9070 and are their any custom roms and kernels developed for this phone? I would love to know what you guys think about the phone. It seems to me its a playground of development and possibilitys waiting to happen but thats only my opinion but again some help with rooting would be greatly appreciated guys and thanks so much...

Guys, need help. I recently got a pantech burst and noticed one odd thing.
The micro USB port is different than most of my other devices, its kinda split on one side. Is it defective or normal? Can you check yours and confirm?
I am enclosing a picture for reference, tried my best to show what I see. Thanks.

Mine is also split, however the metals align together. If your jack goes in fine without any resistance, it should be fine? I dont know. You can try. If it doesnt go in fine, you can try taking a small screwdriver and pushing one of the metals (the one that "violated" the alignment) into the phone so they align better.
Thanks all for your comments. Looks like this has to go back to the seller for replacement.
BTW, I bought this off ebay from phonestoreusa. The seller is pretty responsive, anybody has first hand experience with him?
Thats where I got my pantech burst too. That was new.

I would guess its defective. Mine isn't and never seen one split before on any thing like that. Does it charge and seem to work? Maybe go to store you got it or any store actually and look at display model and show them.
Well when I replied there was no others? Oh well. Lol.

Mine also has the split however yours looks a little out of place (the gap looks wider) because in my case the two pieces are right next to each other and look perfectly in place.
What is your exact concern, are facing trouble while connecting to the port?

While the split is normal (part of the build) yours seem to have one portion out of alignment with the other. Check whether your phone charges properly.
Just wanted to update, I got a replacement from phonestoreusa. But seriously, the guy needs to reword his listing, no way the phones he is selling as "New" are new!
Can't connect to camera
My burst is rooted and right after I rooted it, I installed PAC-MAN ROM KK RC-3 dev 4.4.4.
The kernel version is 3.0.101-cyanogenmod-g83586a2

Now it will no longer connect to my camera nor my camera flash (ie: I can't use a camera or torch).
How can I remedy this situation?

[Q] Sensitivity, tap instead of swipe

Hi guys, i really like the phone but I have one major problem with it. Sometimes the screen randomly thinks my finger is tapping instead of swiping.. So when scrolling through a list, it doesn't scroll through the list, but rather taps the links. I compared it with my M8 and its definitely a huge difference

Just to sum up, the customer support in OnePlus is nearly non-existend.
I have seen the reports that someone with RMA ticket number 98 (can you imagine, just in first hundred) does not have any reply from them already 3 weeks.
God im seriously thinking about keeping my M8...
I am also experiencing the tap instead of swipe bug. Its a bit annoying. I love the potential of this phone and hope that Cyanogen will get all the kinks fixed. Maybe that's one of the real reasons for the official release not taking place.

Are you by any chance having the issue when not holding the phone in your hand? There seems to be some sort of grounding problem(?) when the phone is on e.g. a pillow which did not exist before the update pushed in the beginning of july. Apparantely CM is working on fixing it again.

I really hope they do rectify these issues. Cause I'm kind of regretting selling my Nexus 5. I mean this hardware is superb and I love the feel of the sandstone back. The software is just not ready for the masses.
I can't wait till the software is bug free. This phone will be a beast!

I am looking at the forums. And: for me, the support responded to my questions within 24h in 3 of 4 cases. That's my personal experience.
I think you should try it. If this does not work: give your request an update. Or two. Or three. And then, if all that doesn't work, either: make pressure on the public forums. THEN you can/should be upset.

Hello, anyone knows if in the end a solution was found? I have this problem even with the latest update of cyanogenOS.

Yes it's common, i have this issue as well. I think it happens when the phone stutters/lag, the swipe turns to a tap. My solution is to flash fast, lag-free ROMs, reducing the incidents. You should try jgcaap Lag-free CM13 ROM and see if it gets better, it worked for me.
Thank you very much for your advice, I'm testing this rom, and doing very well not have lag or loses touch for now.
