[Q] Settings Not Being Saved - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

I'm wondering if anyone else is has this problem. Every time I plug in my phone, the USB debugging option turns on. I turn it off in developer settings, but it turns back on as soon as I plug it in.
Also, I change my screen timeout to 1 minute but when I restart the phone, it turns back to 30 seconds. I already tried the fix permissions option in Recovery and it didn't work. I'm using the Viper ROM if that helps.
Also, I always turn Auto Sync "on" under settings but it turns itself back off.
Anyone else with the same problem?

Anyone?

There's a known bug with some settings not sticking on reboot if I recall but what your describing does not seem to be this bug. Typically when weird little issues like this are happening, step one is to redownload and check md5 wipe everything and do a fresh flash. Obviously this would be a big issue, well documented for a ROM as popular as Viper XL so I would say no, other people are not experiencing this issue.

Thanks anyway. I'll Google it some more and see if I find something

Sense ROMs are screwy with display settings

This isnt an issue with just one particular Sense ROM, but i found it to be so with most... if not all, possibly. If you use the AUTO setting, then this does not apply. Whats happening for instance, at night i like to turn the brightness all the way down. It stays that way until the screen goes off. Once you turn it back on again, the screen is bright... again, and it shows that its set all the way down so to fix you have to turn it up, then back down again. Then the process repeats all over again. Im not sure whats going on and obviously since i try different ROMs regularly(and do full wipes), its not a matter of a bad install. I wonder if this is a verified known issue and is being looked into.

[Q] - Random Wifi Shut-Offs And Problem Turning Back On

One day my skyrocket started acting up. I have the AT&T version. what happens is The wifi could be working perfectly fine then when i let it sleep and then wake it the wifi is on and sometimes turns right back on and connects and other times it won't turn on, even when I try to manually. I've tried going back to pure stock, ICS Stock, and tried custom roms and it's all the same. Sometimes on first boot the wifi won't even turn on. Then sometimes when I'm out of wifi Range I turn it off and when I come back and try to switch it on it says "Wifi turning on.." then the toggle goes back to off but it still says that. Sometimes when the phone is in use, screen on, I could be browsing the web or on facebook and it shuts off and won't come back on. This has nothing to do with the Power Saving mode, I never touched that setting and I checked and it's set to "Always." So what could it be? It gets extremely frustrating. someone please help me :l
I searched the forums before I posted, I know this may fall into the development category but I couldn't post there..

when you say pure stock, do you mean you odin'ed back to stock? i'm no expert but if you've had the same issues on pure stock rom, custom roms it sounds as though it may be a hardware issue.

Well yes odin'd back, & also used kies through download/recovery mode. well the custom roms it does it on are all stock based... well I had installed MIUI but idk If it had done it on there. this issue is very frustrating..
i realized last night that the bluetooth does it too, so if it's a hardware problem does that mean the motherboard could be bad, not the actual components?

[Q] WiFi woes

Hi folks,
There are two issues with WiFi on my Nexus 5. The first, which was happening before I upgraded to Lollipop, is that my phone no longer remembers WiFi passwords and I have to re-insert them every time. I've searched around for this and been told that it's because Android only remembers a certain number of passwords so I've tried forgetting quite a few old WiFi access points but to no avail. Any ideas on this issue?
The second issue has only started occurring since I upgraded to Lollipop and is driving me nuts. Basically I can only very rarely access the WiFi menu in settings now, making it near impossible to connect to new access points. Pulling down the notification shade and tapping the wifi icon just seems to turn it on and off rather than taking me to the WiFi area in settings - is that right? And then if I go into settings and tap on WiFi the screen goes blank and I get a force close message. Very occasionally or after re-starting settings a few times it will work.
Any thoughts on either issue would be much appreciated. I've read the thread on WiFi not turning on but don't think that's the issue and as I say the latter issue has only occurred since the Lollipop upgrade.
Thanks
Alex
With the quick settings, you have to tap the network name to go into the wifi options. The wifi pie slice thing turns it on the off.
Sounds like you could use a factory reset to fix your other problems.

I haven't ever encountered #1, so I can't help with that. However, with #2- touching the icon will turn wifi (or bluetooth, etc) on and off. If you touch below the line (where it says wifi, bluetooth, etc) it will open the settings menu. It matters where you tap.

Thanks for the replies chaps - I hadn't realised that tapping on different bits did different things. Regardless of whether I go in through the settings 'cog' or by tapping on the word 'WiFi' under the pulldown shade though the next screen is still blank and I get a force close message. In fact today one of the times I tried it the phone just froze on a white screen and only holding down the power button for ten seconds allowed me to turn it off and use it again. Anyone had any similar issues?
I'm having the same issues as you (both of them), and I'm also looking for the solution to it. For the first one, I'm trying to disable backup and renabling them. Read online that sometimes there's something wrong with the sync. Not sure if it solved the problem but will try.
For the second one, the problem is because it takes a very long time for the phone to search for wifi hotspots. So if you turn on wifi (ie clicking on the big button) and wait for about 2 minutes for it to search, wifi will work find. However, the 2 minutes is a long painful wait.... Im not sure what is the reason for the wait though, my nvidia shield tablet has no such issues.
Anybody has any solutions?

Both of these issues sound like you need a factory reset

I tried to do a factory reset yesterday. Took me a really long time but failed. So i ended up having to sideload the 5.01 factory firmware, which formated my entire phone.
In any case, it did not work. It still takes me a very long time 'turning wifi on...'
Any other suggestions?

Lockscreen bug

I've got a random glitch that I can't pic down, and I haven't been able to find a solution. Randomly, my lockscreen reverts to "no security" and I have to rechoose which lockscreen I want to use. Also, USB debugging gets unchecked. It happens every few days. I'm on my MetalRom, but it has done it on stock too. Could be app related, but I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this too.
After some testing, this seems to occur after using kids mode. I'm not sure why, but my wife's stock unrooted s5 does not do this.
Usb debugging can be set in build.prop persist.mode.usb=1 or something like that, don't remember exactly. Don't know about the other issue. I've heard issues with fingerprint security but I can't recall about that one exactly either.
I have that edit in my build.prop, the lockscreen one is strange.
I was wrong, I do not have that in my build.prop. Lol

Question AOD and screen wake on notifications stopped working

Hi all!
I've been searching for a solution for some time but couldn't find any.
Always On Display stopped working on my Pixel 6a. It's all turned on in the settings but it simply doesn't work. It works only in those cases:
1. When device is rebooted into an Airplane mode
2. When device is rebooted into the Safe Mode
3. When device is rebooted but not unlocked for the first time
There are also no notifications displayed so screen wake on notification doesn't work. Same story as above.
I thought there is some app blocking it but couldn't really figure out which, I tried to disable many of them but none helped.
I did a factory reset once but issue came back after few days.
I seriously have no idea what might it be. Hope someone here might have had similar problem and found a solution.
Thanks!

Would you be down to try flashing a custom ROM?
I've read in another thread not long ago someone saying their Tap to Wake randomly stopped working. We narrowed it down to an issue with the proximity sensor (so the phone thought it was in a pocket/covered, therefore didn't let Tap to Wake work, he had to use the power button to turn the screen on). He then flashed a custom ROM (it was LOS, I think), and that solved the issue for him.
I've also had some issues with the stock ROM, flashing a non-factory one solved all of them
If you want to keep on using the factory ROM, you might wanna try using the Android Flash Tool instead of just factory resetting to make sure no corrupted settings can live on.

I would say it does not have anything in common with the proximity sensor since it works fine with airplane mode turned on. I want to stay with the factory ROM. Maybe it's an issue that will be fixed any time soon?

Why do you ask for advice if you just want to "wait for it to get fixed"?
If you've done a factory reset already, it's not a hassle re-flashing the factory ROM (since you already have your data backed up).
Fwiw, the guy with the proximity sensor issue also had it sometimes work and other times not, much like your issue

I'm trying to figure out if it's a software issue in a ROM or some applications impact..
