[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.

[Q] [ROM] Galaxy W/Exhibit II RebelROM 3.0 didn't work properly

When you flash make sure, to factory/user data wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvik. To escape the bootloop, just boot into recovery and wipe, wipe, wipe and reflash. If the problems persist, then go look in the rebelrom forum for more help. For the data problems, it may be that there is no apn. So look up the T-mobile apn and enter them.

Oh, sorry. I saw exhibit ii since it is the U.S. version and immediately thought of T-Mobile. So you have the Galaxy W, the international version. Regardless your carrier should have specific apn settings, so make sure they are there.

Hmmm, that usually occurs when you didn't wipe properly. Have you reflashed the ROM and made sure you wiped everything through CWM recovery?
I would also try to just remove the card and put it back an see if that works.

Already done all that.. but still nothing change.. there is also the boot problem that happens.. everytime my phone gets on stand by mode it will boot by itself.. and this happens continiuosly

That is weird, it's like your phone is completely rejected the ROM. I suggested posting your problems directly to the rebelrom forum, since I can't help you much anymore
Good luck with the phone.

Yeah.. that's why i'm frustrated with this problem.. i will post on the original rebelforum
Thank you for your advice by the way

[Q] cm9 and aokp issue

anyone having problems with thier data after flashing these 2 ics roms

Giving more detail other than anybody having data issues will get people to answer.
Explain what is happening or not happening.

im working on that right now

I had problems with this previously - data was working right after I flashed CM9, then it stopped. IMEI was fine, and the phone recognized Tmo as the provider - just no data.
Here's what I did to get data working again - go to Settings > Wireless & Networks > More > Mobile networks > Access point names. Hit the menu button and select Reset to default. See if that helps you out.

Guys there is an Q/A thread

You should not have to do that. Plus those are two different animals. Your service data is just internet. Data that you mount in recovery is all the stuff on your phone in a folder labeled data.

alright thanks again man i was freaking out so much because of this do you think they are gonna make fufture updates to fix this?

Heres the deal, if this is a issue head over to github and report the issues. Be detailed and provide logs, max, bhundven and others will see the report and address the report. This is the only real way to make sure issues are getting addressed.

That sounds like a problem with the wifi service you are using.

yeah, so check your wifi provider.
Also,
if you are having awkward issues, then wipe data.
When I started CM9 the first time, this is what I did. wipe, data, cache, system, boot from CWM, then flash CM9, then factory reset from TWRP.

[Q] G2x with Cyanogenmod7 can't receive data (I realize this is a common problem)

Hey, so as stated in the title, I have recently flashed Cyanogenmod7. Initially, version 7.2.0 and then the nightly build released on 10/7/12. I can no longer receive mobile data. I realize this is a very common problem and have searched through multiple forum posts here and elsewhere online. I also flashed a new kernel in an attempt to fix it (not sure of the name, found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073626).
Mobile data will appear (and work) for the first 10-15 seconds after startup if wifi is disabled but then vanishes afterwards. I have tried changing the mobile network settings and apn settings in a number of ways but no method ever works (most of the ones found online appear to be at least a year old so perhaps I just need more modern entries). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The CM team has yet to fix this, and I doubt it ever will be fixed. It's present on all AOSP based ROMS. I guess if they set the modem to reset on bootup, it could fix it, but I have no idea how to do that.

I've also tried wiping the cache and dalvik cache with no effect. I have also installed a custom kernel with no effect. I am not entirely sure what you mean by fixing permissions.
Edit: searched and figured it out. Tried fixing permissions in combination with the other two options. Still no effect.

Sorry to bump an old topic but I accidentally reflashed Cyanogen (pressed wrong zip in recovery) and now it's working so if anyone else has this problem, try doing a factory reset and then reflashing old data.

[Q] Unable to send/receive MMS

I have been unable to send or receive MMS messages to/from anyone. Outgoing messages just get stuck at "sending" and I've had multiple people try to send me an MMS. I believe my APN settings are correct based on other threads here. Has anyone else seen/dealt with/have a solution for this bug?
I'm currently running CM10.1 April 8 Nightly off of a clean complete wipe flash, but I believe the problem has occurred with prior versions as well.

I saw some commits related to unicode encoding with the MMS app. It's possible (Disclaimer: I am not a dev, these are just theories) that these have something to do with the MMS issue. You could extract the MMS.apk from a prior build (where your MMS was still functional) and push it to /system/apps, rename your current MMS.apk to MMS.bak (just in case), set permissions to R-W, R, R, then reboot. If that works then we know there's an issue with the CM commits to the MMS.apk.

Had the same problem this morning. Turns out I had mobile data turned off.

What that means is that your APN's might not be configured properly. Compare them to the ones listed here. If that doesn't fix the MMS issue then we'll have to investigate further.

I've put in a trouble call with AT&T hopefully they find something....

So according to AT&T there are no network problems but my phone is not responding to push notifications from them. They want me to bring it into a "core" store to have it checked out (not going to happen on behalf of the rooting/custom ROM). I'm wondering if my Android ID#/device hostname may have changed when I did a full wipe? Although I'm not even sure that would have any effect on my problem. I'm just tossing out ideas.

If I were you I'd just make a nandroid backup of my current setup, transfer that (and any other important data) to either my external or PC, ODIN back to stock and head over to an AT&T store. Just my two cents. You can always re-root and flash a custom ROM again. If you'd corrupted something through flashing (not saying you did, just a thought) getting AT&T to straighten it out and then going custom from there might be your best option.

Sinnce AT&T uses the IMEI number as the ID for the device, that wouldn't be the issue you aren't receiving push messages. I agree with mrfeuss, back up the phone, flash the stock rom, and go have AT&T fix it on their end. Then you can re-root and install your custom ROM again. Better to have them look at it than live without MMS.
