hi all.
the problem i have that i hope to get help with is this, everything was OK until around a month ago when i noticed it wasn't waking up from sleep.
after trying to pinpoint the problem i discovered that it was freezing when asked to wake either by power button or by notification- e-mail texts and the like, but not as far as i know when receiving calls. that seems to be ok so far....
now here is the twist...non of this happens when plugged into the mains/USB power or when its kept from sleep by say my music or radio app.
so guys and gals, does anyone have any ideas that will help either cure this or are there any apps that can run in the background without killing my battery too much
Thanks in advance

That is what we call the Sleep of Death. So far there really isn't a fix for it. For me it was one of the apps I installed that was causing the problem along with the custom rom I had installed too. Here's more information on this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1707521 and I found this to see if it might help http://www.ehow.com/how_12183457_can-stop-sleep-death-android.html

Hi guys
I've got a problem!
when I turn off the phone and turn it back on the phone starts to ring without any dismiss button...
what can I do?
any helps?
Yes I started getting the same thing yesterday morning (!)
I believe it is a known problem and remember seeing a fix for it somewhere in the forums a year or so ago- just trying to find it.
I think the MemMaid app has option to 'delete' all alarms- has worked for the majority
I didn't think this would be a development thread so i'm starting it here. This is just some of the random issues I'm having.. and was wondering if anyone else was having these or any other issues.
The unknown notification on lockscreen is apparently for other people too.. and i've noticed it's dealing with the stock messaging app. Has anyone figured out how to turn off the counter on the stock launcher for the stock messaging app if you're using a different app like Handcent?
Random lockups. My phone will not come out of sleep.. or i won't be able to unlock it. nothing will be on the screen and i have to pull the battery in order to do anything.
random FC of an app.. or just not even notified of the FC just get this vibrate then double vibrate and everything crashes back to the home screen. First did it when i started setting up the device. and done it a few times since. I've also had one time that was continuous of "vibrate...double vibrate" over and over and over and over.. you get the picture.. and i had to pull the battery.
Is anyone else having these issues or anything similar? Or should I run back to the store and exchange this sucker?

No problems here at the moment, had it about a week and havent seen any of the problems you are mentioning. But this is just for me.
I get this hard crash (vibrate... double vibrate... soft reboot) at random times. It seems to be when I'm running several apps at once. For example, driving to work,I use (Google) Navigation and Doggcatcher for playing podcasts, while GPS and Bluetooth are both enabled.
These apps have been rock solid for me with the 5 other Android phones I've had. Besides, the crashes happen with other combinations of apps. Come to think of it, audio playback is usually (always?) involved, be it with Xiia or the stupid built-in music app.

that's what i've been noticing. but sometimes i'm not even running many apps. i haven't put much on the phone since i've been having these issues, but these apps work perfectly even on my G1. i think i'm just having odd issues with my phone pretty sure its getting exchanged on monday.
I hav the odd vibrating too...Not sure if I should return the phone or not.

i think the "odd vibrating" where its a single vibration.. then 2 quick vibrations.. is a sign of an FC.. not 100% sure.. but thats what i see going on when it happens to me. I've also noticed when i'm outside and thinks i'm selecting things or moving the trackball thing. always to the right.. i think my phone is faulty..

I get the double vibrate and bam, FC's. Usually when im trying to open up and or lots of stuff at once on my phone or using a different launcher "adw" or others and it would happen. Wheres the fix ey.
is anyone having a problem with notifications? i use GoSms, and it doesn't seem to sound the ringtone i have selected, the message just comes in silently..... and same with Beejive IM, and i think K9 mail. all these things worked perfectly on my EPIC 4G.
i was using handcent.. and it was working fine.. minus the unlock screen unknown notification. but everything else has been making sounds just fine.

Dang ok, well I may have to unroot mine if possible, and take it back, haha. So I'll be watching for a response to your question in the other thread.
Edit: I fixed my notifications..... somehow my notification volume had been turned all the way down, so I wasn't getting any sounds for texts, emails, etc. Not sure how it got turned down, but sometimes I guess settings can get jarred by various things we do to our phones.
Hi, my Nexus 5 recently started having this issue where the proximity sensor constantly wakes my phone up. I recently flashed the factory images and the only apps I have that should wake the screen are not actually causing the issue, as far as I can tell.
For example, if I put my phone in my pocket, the screen turns on. If I hold my phone at the top, like when sliding it off a table, the screen turns on. It's bugging the hell out of me and unfortunately, all wakelock apps don't seem to work on KitKat.
Has anyone else had this issue and if you have, have you fixed it yet? If so, how?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Just two things to participate:
1. BetterBatteryStats works on KitKat. There was a beta version but now you can find the public version.
2. Just to be sure try to wipe your user data and try again. You never know...

I switched back to Dalvik and it seems the bug is gone. Now I need to find out which app it was that was causing the issue.
Thanks a lot for your help!
Hello everybody,
I have this problem that's more than annoying and that I really couldn't find a solution to. I've tried finding someone with the same issues but couldn't. The problem is, when someone is calling me, my phone rings, but the screen doesn't turn on, only the capacitive buttons do. I didn't have this problem before, but after installing some stuff it appeared. I don't really know what caused it and how to fix it. I have XPERIA Z FIRE SERIES 5 rom for Tipo, Nova launcher and running Crystal 2 theme. Could any of those possibly cause the problem? I can't see the number thats calling me and it's hard to answer the call since I can't see the buttons either. Aside of that, I have one other problem. My phone ram is allways on ~400 without any app turned on. I have a few apps for apps killing and clearing ram and I do that often but still it doesn't help since after cleaning it's back to like 95% in a matter of an hour. And even when I kill all the active processes and apps, my ram is still on like 65% usage. I don't know whats using it up, I can't run anything on the phone, I've deleted all the games since they lagged like hell, even the most simple ones that should run smoothly. Hell it laggs even when I have to unlock it, enter menu, call someone, do anything...
Well, thanks in advance for any advice that you have to offer.

It seems to me that your rom isn't bugfree... Flash a stock fimrware, and everythig should be pico bello . The RAM usage is strange, but the call issue isn't very rare, many people report this. Flashing a stock firmware will most likely fix this!
Have a nice day!
Hi everyone,
I'm running 6.0.1 and recently performed a hard reset and cleared caches to try and resolve the problem.
Did not resolve. Also disabled power managment for apps. Problem persists.
Whenever a calendar event is skipped (by the device) all future events stop working and I have to reboot to get the alerts back.
Mostly the problem comes when there is one emty day, but it also happened when I got a notification in the morning and in the evening nothing anymore.
Thus I thought it could be powersaving related, but powersaving is disabled.
It's really driving me crazy, my calendar is verry important to me as I tend to forget things.
Anyone knows how to resolve the problem ?
How to debug ?
Your input is verry much appreciated.
Thanks.
