Hi all,
Since installing CM7 (20130201) and Mazout's 2.6.32.60 kernel, my phone's home and search buttons are no longer functioning. Any ideas how to fix it? These are important functions.
It also doesn't go to sleep anymore, even when I push the power button.
Sounds like some gremlin mischief. Have you tried using the nullifier to wipe?

Thanks TwitchyEye. That worked, for a while, but the issues are back now. And randomly, the menu/home/back/search icons light up when the phone's otherwise asleep.

Those are your lights acting as a notification. You can turn it off in cyanogenmod settings.

Where might I find that in the settings? I went through and couldn't find it.

Settings => CyanogenMod settings => Interface => LED notifications. I select unconfigured then, edit category settings, LED mode, and force LED off. I suppose if you wanted to you could set individual settings for applications. There's also a few apps in the play store that take care of it too.

I have a rooted thunderbolt (thanks for all who made that possible). in the last couple of days I have noticed that the screen does not timeout. I don't know if it is a rouge app, or some other problem. I have done some searching and it appears that I am not the only one with this problem, but I have not seen a solution to the problem yet.
After a reboot it does appear to work correctly for a time though. If it is an app how would I find out which one is doing it? As a side question. If I do a hard reboot will I lose root?

Go to Spare Parts > Battery History and select "Partial Wake Usage" from the first dropdown. Should tell you what the culprit is.

i've noticed the same thing intermittently over the last few days, let me know if you figure out how to fix it
Yeah, I get this too.
Do you guys run Titanium? My screen wouldn't turn off this morning, and now that I'm paying more attention, I noticed Titanium ran an auto-backup last night on the charger. That might just be a coincidence, but something to look out for.

Well the spare parts thing did not work...
Any other ideas?
The only time I had this happen was when I bumped the volume buttons as I was setting the phone down. Somehow the volume indicator on the screen got stuck or something and the screen never shut off. I just started being more careful not to bump the volume, or actually pressing the power button to shut the screen off. Idk if this is your issue or not, just thought I'd throw it out there.

Change the setting to disable "partial wake locks" (in TB) and it will go back to sleep.
pandora radio also has a toggle to keep the screen on while its in use.
maybe you guys are using pandora?

I dont have or use Pandora, but thanks.
I'm looking for the Application that flashes the buttons at the bottom of the screen. For Notifications.
I need the name of the app and how to find it so I can delete it or disable it.
I think this is causing all my reboot problems
How many of those apps do you have running? Go to settings/applications/manage applications then click running... it's probably the app that has the word LED in it...
Freeze it and see what happens.

I'm not sure? Whatever app controls the notifications to flash my home, back, search, and menu buttons when I have a text or email.
I'm just trying to pinpoint why the phone keeps turning off all the time.
Thanks for your help
It's called LED Me.

It looks like you are running CM7. Its built into the rom I believe. Try going to settings- cyan mod settings- interface- LED notifications
Hi,
Since two days I'm a happy and proud Note owner, but there's one thing, that makes me really go crazy:
I installed the program "Widgetlocker", because the standard lockscreen is quite broing. It actually works quite good, but sometimes the standard lockscreen still apears. Not instead of the widgetlocker, but additional. So I always have to unlock two lockscreens.
Does anybody else has got this problem? And how can I fix it?
I tried to find a solution in different forums and in the program configuration, without sucess!
Thanks for help!
Edit: The error apears mostly when there's a pop-up (gtalk e.g.) or when I plug in the charger....
I turned on root helper and home helper in settings, that fixed it for me. I'm on Stock Rooted XXKK9 if that helps.

Hi, chrcad,
Finally, the someone else who's been having the same problem.
It IS really irritating. Sometimes it's OK, but other times it just comes on.
Have turned off the lock screen option, but same thing happens. Someone please help!

My widgetlocker works fine. Been using it since day 1. Hmm.. Sorry. Not sure how to help.
chrcad,
Your problem seems related to the fact that Android is not having enough memory left ans simply closes "useless" apps and considers that WL is part of them. To prevent that to happen, simply check in advanced settings the "refuse to suspend WL" box and Android will look another application than WL to close

Thanks @ everybody for the help, but unhappily it's still not working properly.
The problem always apperas, when the phone's sleeping and a gTalk message comes in.... but ONLY, when the gTalk ppop-up is activated......
Any (more) idea?
you are leaving it running all the time aren't you?
I use to have the same problem, very rarely but it was still annoying. I have put a lock on widgetlocker so if I ever close all programs, widgetlocker is still running. It's not happened since but it's only been a few days so I'll see.

Some pop-ups cause this if they're designed to appear underneath the stock lockscreen rather than dismiss it.
For now:
1) Easy Wake Mode disables the system lockscreen
2) WL Settings > Long-press volume down for Experimental > Aggressive Dismiss stock lockscreen. This should work, but it's not well tested yet so it's off by default.
Hello..newb at android but all of a sudden one day the following sounds stopped working:
Lock/unlock
Camera
Button press
I did attempt to trouble shoot by looking in the "UI" folder and see all the sound
files are there currently and made sure all the regular settings were enabled too.
Any ideas? Thx in advance...
reboot maybe also check if your media volume is turned up through settings>sound>volume.
I've battery pulled and all that..no luck

Think I will figure out how to factory reset and restore
to back up if it will work.
Proper steps:
-enter recovery via CWM
-factory reset
-the re-enter CWM
-and restore to back up I created???
Have you checked to make sure you have it turned on in Settings/Sounds, down at the bottom Screen lock sounds.
Yeah, still won't work.

May be you guys should try turning off the setting and restart, if that doesnt solve the problem go to recovery mode and clear cache. Let us know if any of that works.
On a side note: I have been facing weird ass issues with this phone just today my phone wont go to mute by using volume key while receiving a call. Like someone calls you and your phone is ringing, you just want to silence the ringtone you can use volume key (Press once), Flip the phone or put your palm over it (If you have the settings on). I tried multiple restarts and switched on and off the settings many times. It was fixed when i restarted my phone to download mode (This happened by mistake i wanted to go to recovery) anyhow that fixed it.

Did you follow the steps i suggested ?
Also try clearing system cache in the boot menu.
If that doesn't get it, modify the appropriate notification setting, lol.
That can be a daunting task but sort of fun because you can streamline your notification settings as you do so.

There are apps that log notifications so you can just check the log and quickly determine what is causing the notification even if nothing is showing on-screen

If they catch it. Consider which sensors and operation triggers it, cause and effect, to narrow it down.
Playing with Android is fun... Android witch hunts are how you really learn about Android's gooey layer tricks.
Google searches on older Notes and parallel Samsung models can turn up answers many times.
This model is too recent; so not near as much online troubleshooting info. Google searches encompass threads on this forum as well so it can be a good way to find the needle in the Android stack. Do not time limit searches.
On my 10+ with it's baffling bt poor audio I found the answer with something written about the N9.
Many of these issues are long standing.
Samsung finally fixed the bt settings issue in a Wearables update. That took years.
Only persistence is omnipotent...
I figured that out by chance..
It's the edge-compass app
Just delete it from edge apps and it'll go away.. cheers

Well, I've checked all that and nothing, I don't even have the compass edge panel. But I think I'm able to replicate the issue, it mostly happens when my phone is face down on a surface and I pick it up and turn it to me, I don't have a case on it yet and I'm starting to think that it might have something to do with the edge screen but so far no luck
Use good lock. It has a module to detect vibrations and tell you what they are
Nice catch

Yeah, I installed it yesterday. But no vibrations are registered there so honestly I don't even know what to think now.
On the other hand when I switched from my note 10 plus I used smart switch, and now I'm thinking I should do a fresh start on my n20U.

Exactly check if you have Notistar from good lock switched on. That cache might need clearing.

It does suck some battery life though. It's one of the features I disable on my 10+ mostly because I find it annoying.
It's cool though how much you can customize notification behavior; one of the biggest reasons to go with Samsung is customization.
I play around with Settings a lot.. never crashed a load doing it. It's just occasionally gets time consuming to sort it out.
