I was wondering if there was a way to suppress the phone from waking (screen turning on) when using Bluetooth/Headset controls.
I had this issue with CM7 on my old Droid Incredible, and now it's also happening with CM10 (nightly) on my S3. I know that the Stock firmware doesn't cause the phone to wake, just the CM series.
It's rather annoying to have your phone in your pocket, and you change tracks, and suddenly your touchscreen is going crazy 'cuz it's woken up in your pocket.
(Sorry if this has been discussed, but my forum searches hasn't revealed anything to me so far)
Thanks

I'm wondering if this is because of my device (HTC Titan) or because of WM6... all I know is that I never had this happen before!
Basically, I'll pull out my phone sometimes and find that its turned on by itself, and has been sitting with the dim idle backlight on.
I noticed it can be caused by several things but the 2 main ones I've seen is:
1) when the phone switches to/from roaming, it wakes up
2) when using A2DP controls (AVRCP), it wakes up.
I've been using workarounds to keep the backlight off for now (set the phone to roam only, or carrier-only, so it won't be switching in/out of roam, and use core player or just remember to toggle the screen off everytime I use a media AVRCP control), but there has got to be a better way to keep the darned screen off until I press power!
Anyone have any suggestions? This is really an unexpected annoyance as it eats up my battery quickly not knowing its on...
I had a similar issue with whenever I received an email and didnt shut off the device manually. What I eventually ended up doing was setting the device to automagically lock when it was powered off, and this seemed to solve the issue. I'm not sure however if this will fix it in your case because locking it may interfere with AVRCP controls working.
Hello XDA,
I've recently purchased a samsung infuse and there were a few things standing out that i was wondering about. When i bought the phone, it had already been unlocked + rooted + flashed with S7, it should be running on the default kernal that came with S7. Afterwards, i installed dynamicRAM's tweaks in the development section.
1) Lock screen lag.
Wondering if anybody else is having this problem. When i hit the unlock button, theres a small lag time present before the screen activates, subsequently, when swiping my finger across to unlock the screen, theres a lag time before the imagine/slider/what have you responds. At first, i thought this had no functional problem and that it was just a little ugly. Until i received a phone call and in my attempt to answer it, the slider didn't respond. I wonder if this is perhaps a kernal problem?
2) If it is a kernal problem, is it compatible to try flashing the infusion 1.1 kernal overtop the default S7 kernal (Granted that the phone itself is first backed up with tibu and a NANDroid backup performed). Would this help the above problem?
3) The seller had the phone overclocked to 1.6 ghz with setCPU which isn't a large problem as its an ondemand clocking. however, the battery usage seems to be lower than expected? Note that i do not use data plan so thats turned off, wifi is turned off, but i like having the brightness as full (i acknowledge this eats up a lot of the battery).
Leaving the phone on my bedside table for sleep, it depletes 6% over the course of my 6 hour sleep. 1% an hour seems pretty fair. However yesterday, i unplugged from 100% at 2pm and used it till the following day 10 am. During this period, it depleted to 49%. I used aldiko for my book for an hour before bed. Sent a total of 14 texts, received 18. No music player was used, rest of the time the phone was essentially idle. I'm a little surprised at this.
I have yet to calibrate the phone but it is only a month old, granted it was calibrated after flashing S7, could this be the problem? I don't think the phone is undervolted yet, would voltage control from the market help this by lowering it a bit?
4) sometimes my volume slider just dissapears, i don't know why. Using the volume rocker on the homescreen usually has the ringer volume pop up. But once in a while, it stops showing up, the settings still work, but the slider is invisible. It is not restored upon reboot, and it eventually comes back and dissapears again.
5) First phone call has no audio. I believe this is a documented problem with S7, just asking to confirm this.
6) A couple of albums in my music library aren't tagged properly in the player despite being correctly tagged with MP3TAG on my computer. After some research, i think i found this is a GB media scanner problem. Is there a way to correct this? Perhaps take an apk from another ROM and replace it?
Many thanks to anybody who takes the time to read this thread
I'm trying to help my mother revive her TF300T. She was running the stock 4.2.1 ROM and it was borderline unusable. Task switching was horrible and upon waking from sleep, when that worked, it would be several minutes before it would work smoothly - it definitely wouldn't work when background sync was going on. More often, once it went to into deep sleep, it would have to be manually rebooted since it would not wake. She also had an issue where the volume turns itself up.
I installed CM11 on there and much of the usability problems have been taken care of. It is much, much speedier. However, it appears it still will not wake from deep sleep, at least sometimes. The volume issue persists as well. The latter is probably a hardware issue. I'm wondering if the inability to wake is also a hardware problem. Any ideas?
Hi I purchased a new phone from amazon n my phone has some issue.. flash light automatically on and music also starts playing when phone is kept at one place.
Disable gestures in settings/gestures and you'll be fine.
Yes, some of the screen-off gestures are way too sensitive.
double-tap to wake seems to work fine, but flashlight and music constantly activate in my pocket, etc.
Really drives me nuts, especially because I don't have any of the other touchscreen issues people seem to have sometimes.
When I get into my car and my bluetooth headunit connects with my Z3, the screen decides to turn on... for no reason whatsoever. I've disabled apps, tried setting up tasker to turn the screen on after a few seconds... yet nothing seems to work.
Why is this happening? I never had this with my Z2, it really sucks when my phone is in my pocket and I just want to drive, instead I get random actions, and even at one point pocket dialed people.
I hate to reply with anything but a solution, but this is an ongoing issue for me as well. It doesn't seem like it's solvable without a custom kernel. After I rooted my Z1C and installed SlimKat, it stopped happening. Since I got my Z3 I haven't been able to figure it out at all. The closest I got was to install a custom lock screen and have Tasker check for BT Connected and [custom lockscreen] started then wait 1 ms and turn the screen off. That used a ton of battery. I guess it's a solution if you find a way to stop the battery drain. Went from 5+ SoT to less than 3 in a day.
Bumping the topic.. exact same problem. Very very irritating. Battery drains out without even my knowing it. Seems like a serious bug.
