[Q]Screen Randomly Turns On My Xoom

Ever since I updated to ICS, my scren will randomly turn on and then timeout 30 seconds later, whenever the device is sleeping. Here are some screenshots of my battery stats:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I have no idea what is causing this.
Any ideas?

I don't have this issue. There must be an app that is waking your device/wifi during sleep.
1) go to settings/wifi/advanced and choose never for "keep wifi on during sleep"
2) get betterbatterystat app to check what is waking up your device.

Havent changed anything and didn't install anything.WiFi is totally turned off. Even flight mode on will still cause this. It happens about 6 timed every few seconds and then stop for a while. Soft Reset the device won't fix it either. It seems like a nasty bug. After some time of use.
By the way I don't have android 4.0 but 3.2 4.0 is still not here in Europe.

Oops. I thought you are rooted.
If you ever want to have ics better than stock faster and more stable and not buggy. Just unlock your bootloader and flash a pre rooted rom of team eos rom.
By the way. Team eos released 4.1.1 jelly bean rom for you too. I am on it now. It is lightening super fast.

After 3 years of owning this xoom, I found out what causes the screen to randomly come on and off -- using a non default wallpaper.
Sounds silly, but all I did was change my wallpaper back to one of the default ones and I problem of the screen coming on randomly :laugh:stopped!

It didn't have Google now? That's like saying it didn't have a screen. It's just part of the operating system, and has been for awhile. Swipe left of the main home screen or hold the home button and swipe up. You'll have to turn it on the first time.

What you want to do is go home and tap the Google now bar at the top like here
You will be greeted with a message saying or giving the option to get Google now. Follow the steps and select the Google account you want to use with then now you got Google now. I had to do this on my new nexus 5

here the newest g+, not released yet, version 4.3. it includes a new photo editor. enjoy http://goo.gl/zqp8mg

Just grasping straws here, but could it be related to the carrier allowing it or not? I don't have the option either BTW. Try switching sim cards if possible.

Switching SIM cards didnt help. It's something with the phone. I'll try version 4.3 of Google +, but there must be something else going on here! So strange!

Hangouts missing? Sounds more like a solution than a problem.

I don't have the delivery report option. But have group mms. Hmm. There must be a common denominator somewhere. What is your carrier? Same plan?

[Q]Google Dialer Keeps Phone Awake

I have noticed one of my biggest battery draining apps is the google dialer application.
For some reason it seems to keep the phone awake for hours on end, even when I do not spend very much time on the phone.
Stock, 4.4.3. rooted, thats it.
Any suggestions or ideas? I've tried clearing the dialer's cache and data, but it still keeps the device awake for no reason it seems.
Thanks in advance!

Anyone? Here are some screen shots.

mmh I've never seen that problem.
You could first try clearing data and cache of the app. If that doesn't work, maybe flash the factory images? Just to be sure it's not something on your side.
Hope this helps.

Thanks. Tried both of those. No luck .
I re flashed last evening and the bug is still there

Boot the phone into recovery and then wipe cache and dalvik cache, and then reboot the phone.

I think 4.4.4 addresses this issue, you should make a clean installation of the factory image (again) and see how it goes.

I flashed the 4.4.4 system and radio images.
Will report back. So far so good..... But I will confirm.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

OK SO i think i MAY have figured out this bug.
I use the search function in the dialer app all the time for work. I call a lot of businesses in the area and i always use the dialer to look up their numbers. This is what I think causes the wakelock, as it triggers a search and looks up local businesses matching the number.
I've turned off this feature in the app, as well as the caller ID function and so far i am not having any issues. Will report back.

Just an update. I can trigger this bug in any ROM, including cyanogen mod and also paranoid android.
Here is the solution until Google offers a fix:
By leaving the above options unchecked, the wake lock will not trigger.

"Recent screen" stops showing my recent apps

I dont know when it occurs, but once it does, I have to reboot my phone in order for my recent apps to reappear on my recent screen. Anyone know what may be causing this?

I third this... Rebooting "solves" it.
Also since the latest update (13A), when I'm out and about my time goes 4 hours ahead. Sometimes I have to go into the settings and turn network time on and off to fix it.

I spoke with Verizon tech support and they are suggesting a factory reset to hopefully resolve whatever glitch is causing this to happen.

Update: I'm getting a replacement under warranty. It's a hardware issue.

Hi all- do you use the "OK Google" voice feature in the Google app? If so, there is currently a known bug out there where if you use the voice command multiple times within a short period, all of your apps will be hidden from the recent apps screen.
Best you can do is a) don't use the Google App, b) when the issue occurs, reboot your phone, c) Browse to the app in your application manager and clear all data, and then set up your voice model again. Very annoying. I have the beta of the Google app and it does seem to be resolved. This is not a hardware or LG issue; it even affects the S7.
The issue is known in the Google community, and a proposed fix is supposed to roll out in the next few weeks: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/websearch/A7JWsN8I2kM/oM8RlnMaBQAJ.

How on earth is this a hardware issue?

Ok. I would laugh the Verizon rep you talked to out of the store if they thought that was a hardware issue.
Good think you got a new phone out of it.

Yeah, i was still within the one year warranty, so it worked out.
