[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.

How to fix that?

Thank you Dev Mikey, Love Miui. After many tries, I was able to make it work.
this rom is beautiful!
For those who haven't been able to flash, odin back to stock and root+3e recovery then flash defuse kernel. put miui rom in internal sd card, wipe data/ factory reset. flash miui rom. after it's done flashing, pull battery out. reboot into recovery with 3 buttons and flash miui rom again. Enjoy!

Thats the long way. Just clear all caches and reboot twice and done market will work again.
I was on infused 1.60 no kernel change. Put MIUI on sd card. Go to recovery factory wipe and wipe all caches and done.

Anyone know how to get the Car Home app installed? Market doesn't see it as a compatible device. I would settle for "samsung" car home or Google car home but I am not sure how to get it on there.

Google is your best friend remember that.
One you install Car Home (google) the icon to open it won't appears. (don't know why)
Installing Samsung car home will just make shortcuts to google navigation and maps.

You can't install it at all, it's not that it doesn't work. Google Car/Home says incompatible device. Samsung car/home doesn't show up in the market at all.

Stuck on unlocking the SIM card
Hey guys,
I'm currently stuck on the unlocking the sim card. I put my code in to unlock and then it just keeps stating "Inlocking SIM card..." I've seen a couple people having the same issue as me on this rom and haven't seen any solutions so any help would be greatly appreciated. As far as I can see the rom looks awesome!
Thanks again

I have been using this rom since it was released into the wild, and everything has been great (until recently ). I played around with the themes and changed the fonts up a bit, and now after a while of use my characters get all jumbled (some Chinese text mixed with English on top of English). It happens across apps and doesn't go away until I change fonts again. I thought switching back to the default would help, but so far no luck.
Has anyone else seen this (or have a solution)?
Thanks

from what i have came across, this is true on both the august build and September build of miui.

im having a hard time finding my screenshots. they are not located in the MIUI folder on the sd card like the website says they should be. if there is a fix to this or if anyone knows where it puts them that would be greatly appreciated. thanks

[Q] CM7 issues

I installed CM7 on my infuse yesterday and having an issue. I have read alot of forums but haven't found an answer. I am having connection issues while using the phone. I have flashed different modems still doesn't change anything. When I am using the market I get connection timed out. It switches between H, 3g, and E all the time. Is there anything else I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Read thru the cm7 thread in dev section is a good place to start ready to find your answer. Me personally have no data issues while on cm7
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA App

Look for the APN fix it is in many places.
My data dies when I first access the market. After I leave the market and it will come back and I have no trouble after that.
As for it switching between 4,H,3,E CM7 is giving you real connection info when other ROMS do not.

1) Do you require bluetooth? If yes, don't use CM7. 2) Can you read instructions? If so, there's an easy fix for the APN thing and you'll be all set. CM7 is fantastic, I've used it for a long time.

In the instructions he asks to boot into recovery and flash the rom. now when i reboot into 3e recovery theres no option to install from zip... all there is are these options: reinstall packages, delete user data, delete cache data, format internal sd card...
---------- Post added at 06:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 AM ----------
ok... figured it out... had to select reinstall packages

I like cm7 on every phone I have had, my phone runs 100% better, remember step where u flash again and to download Google apps zip to get market to get all ur apps and I'd recommend getting titanium back pro. I like backing up all my apps. Faster to load ur stuff back on phone.

Yes. You can root using SuperOneClick.

Yes it some apps don't always restore well via backup though. Like adobe I usually restore flash without data. Free version of titanium back will piss you off it stops on every app it restores.

start over as in reinstall gapps or reflash rom? and the steps for reflashing are the same as before or something different has to be done? and this time i should avoid restoring titanium backup??

I would wipe, reflash, I only restore user apps via titanium backup. Might download Google apps again. You only have to flash once if ur on cm7, just wipe flash cm7 and then flash Google apps. Then reboot.

ok...by wipe you mean format /system from recovery and reflash? also i have this weird thing where wifi icon no longer shows up if the phone is screenlocked for some time. when you unlock the wifi comes on. is the a CM thing or some setting i need to tweak for always ON wifi... thanks for all the help!
Also should I go to th 12/13dec build or the 20 nov build thats the latest on the links???

Wipe in where recovery and flash is. I would use newest build 12/13. I just haven't had time to update yet. Wifi, not sure where setting is since I don't use wifi with screen off but in past many phones would shut off wifi when screen goes off.

SGH-I727R Help ?

Hey all !
I've bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 from Rogers, here in Canada. The model on the box clearly states SGH-I727R. I've managed to get it rooted and I've installed Sky-ICS 7.04 custom ROM on it. Everything went fine but I'm having a small issue.
The 4G signal keeps dropping. I can call just fine but about 10-15 seconds after the call ends, 4G drops and I can't use data anymore.
Everytime I want to use the Internet, I have to make a call first then I can use it but as soon as my phone goes on sleep mode, 4G shuts down and I've got to do it all over again. I've tried calling Rogers Tech support but they told me I'm registered on the network and that I should normally be having signal.
I'm pretty sure this is a newbie question but I'm new to Android and I haven't found much help by searching the forums so far.
Edit : The "Turn on Plane Mode" thingy doesn't work at all. Also, Rogers Tech suggested to manually search for a carrier and select Rogers but that didn't change a thing. Also, selecting Automatic Mode doesn't do a thing.

search for forums for the darkside script, and the ucla3 modem. reboot into cwm amd under mounts and storage format cache, data and system. Then flash darkside. Then ucla3. Then skyics. Reboot and let phone sit for 20 min, then reboot again. report back to us :-D

Been a couple hours now and it's still up and running. I'll post results tomorrow morning.
Thanks a lot :-D

I'm guessing my instructions worked then. Hit that thanx button bro ;-)

I let my phone recharge overnight. When I woke up this morning, it wasn't working. Rebooted, still wouldn't work. I had no use for it so I let it sit on my desk till I got to work. As we speak, it appears to be working. It seems intermitent but it works twice as often now O.O
What I did :
- Flashed DarkScript
- Flashed UCLA3 Modem (How come is that file like 350mb?)
- Flashed Sky-ICS Speed 7.0
- Applied Sky-ICS 7.04 Update
Anything else I've missed ? I've seen another post where someone explained the same thing but with UCLA3 Kernel + Faux Kernel. Should I try that ?

ur flashing a ucla3 rom lol, the radio is only 20 mb. Ur flashing a rom ontop of another rom, no wonder its not working

I dunno, I did a search on the forum for UCLA3 modem. Ended up with that file, which is weird because I was expecting a smaller file too. Do you happen to have a link to that file ?

Nope. Still no luck. Flashed DarkScript, flashed UCLA3 Radio then Sky-ICS 7.0 and 4G still drops randomly.
Not sure what's left to do at this point ...

This seems a very useful topic (at least to me )
So what is the sequence of flashing? :
1. ROM
2. script
3. radio
Do we have to wipe the data every time we flash each of those

Are you doing the wipes that were suggested?
After all this flashing and running different stuff you've probably got loads of crap in your caches.

I believe the order is
1. Script
2. ROM
3. Radio
but I did Script, Radio THEN ROM, which I believe is incorrect, unless I am mistaken

Reinstalled Stock Rogers ROM. Did all previous steps. Tried to flash custom Boot Animation instead of TPC V3 animation (Yeah, I switched from Sky-ICS to TPC as I thought I'd check if it is ROM-related...). Phone was stuck on Boot logo for a good 15 minutes. Pulled battery, re-flashed using Odin + Stock ROM. BSOD while flashing.
Go Windows !
I'm re-flashing using Odin.
I'll keep this thread up-to-date as much as possible.
Edit : Flashing worked. Yay for unbricked phone !

Seems to be working so far under TPC V3, starting from Stock ROM + DarkScript. 4G icon disappears when under WiFi(Which is normal, I guess) and reappears whenever it uses 4G(SMS/Call).
Problem solved, so far ! We'll see how it's going tomorrow

Hi everyone,
I recently started to experience a problem with CM 10 on my Xperia miro. I am using the unofficial builds provided by the FreeXperiaTeam. During random times, when the phone is locked, it stops responding. I am not able to unlock the phone nor see anything on the screen. The buttons on the device also show no response. I am able to turn it back on only after I remove the battery, and put it back in. This issue occurs at least once everyday.
I would really appreciate it if somebody could provide me with a solution for this problem. I would prefer to not factory reset my device.
Thank you very much!

Anytime your running into issues like this on any Custom ROM the best practice is to start over, don't be lazy to save Data ..and Don't do a Factory Reset on a Custom ROM it never fairs well. You can as mentioned wipe dalvik and cache then fix permissions but if your still having issues the get away from that build or redownload it and do a full wipe and fresh install you will save yourself time and headaches. Things go wrong from time to time just start over and do a clean install

Plus, be choosy about what rom you are flashing. Better stay with official/stable releases if you want to avoid problems, and never do a dirty flash. It's better to be careful than lazy.

Thank you all for the help! I don't know how, but the problem has stopped. Sorry about the late reply.
