G1 screen lock not showing after timeout

OK so weird things started today with my G1....I turned it on this morning like I do every morning after its been on the charger overnight...
Checked my messages, was running really slow...chompsms kept force closing.
Came back about 5 minutes later and it was still flashing the green light, but I try to get the screen back on and it would come on.
took battery out...turned back on...did the same thing once screen timed out...
took battery out again..turned back on...got a phone call while screen was on time out...show nothing just vibrated, no ringtone played either....
took battery out again..turned back on...turned screen time out to NEVER...phone froze about 3 minutes later on Home screen..
What is the phones problem? Should I reflash jf1.42 Rc33 ?
It just keep freezing after a while, everytime someone calls it freezes on call screen (when the call screen does show up, sometimes id doesnt)
getting very pissed at this thing, wanna throw it....HELP....

I took the sdcard out and it has worked fine since.....odd? Im going yto need to put it back in to use newsrob......any help?

unlimited vibration

Hi guys,
When I get a message the phone vibrates 3 times, like normal. But sometimes randomly it vibrates 1 time and then unlimited vibration. Until I get it out of my pocket and press the powerbutton so the screen goes on again. When the screen is on again the phone resumes the 2 vibrates. Very strange. I had it on multiple roms with different radio's. I don't use TF3D but HTC Home Plugin VGA edition.

I've experienced the same issue you speak of with the stock ROM, and I haven't found a solution or cause yet either.

I think it was this what caused my phone to sometimes go out. Because the vibration consumed all the power.
Do you use Touch Flo?

That would be the angry bee. It is something that just happens. I've had it so bad that I have had to soft reset the phone. It only happens to me every great once in a while. However, I haven't run the stock rom since about 2 hours after buying the phone.

has happened to me twice now.
ive had the phone about 2 months.

I've had it happen to me a few times and had to soft reset it to make it stop. It doesn't happen too often, so I haven't been too worried about it.

I've had it happen when I launch an application just as it is starting to vibrate to signal a notification.

Do you guys also always have it as the second vibration? When it hangs it always is the second vibration at me. And when I press the screen again he makes 2 after it again.

I had a similar issue with the initial stock rom - my wife messaged me in the middle of a meeting and my phone would not STOP VIBRATING. Since it was on the desk, it buzzbuzzbuzzed really loud.
Now I'm on the Energy 3.0 rom and have not had an issue. Even with the updated leaked stock rom I didn't have the issue.

I discover that it only vibrates wrongly when I have the screen off. Pretty annoying though.

Don't we use some kind of stuff in common?
I use:
HTC Home VGA Edition for front end instead of manilla
HomeScreen++ for the handy shortcuts

I checked some things again, I am not 100% sure but I think it was HomeScreen++ that caused the problems here. The exact settings: at the Tools tab "Lock if Display is Off and vice versa, which didn't work anyway at the touch pro (did work on htc's I had before though), but I checked it off and now it still rings 3 times and no less or more. Hope this was it.

I do not use HomeScreen++ and it happens to me at least once a day, sometimes twice. Mine always seems to happen on the third vibrate, it will do the first two and then the third one just stays on. I press the power button for the screen to come back on and it stops.

I have it too sometimes.
EnergyRom 3.0

And you guys have something that auto lock the screen when you press the power off button? Or do you lock the screen before pressing the power button? Because here it seems to have something to do with the locking in combination of the standby mode (screen off)

S view cover - screen lock

I'm using S view cover on my Note 4. Whenever I close the cover and open it again in within few seconds the screen already locked automatically. Under settings I set the screen to automatically lock in 10 minutes so theoretically it should not locked when I open the cover within few seconds.
I'm using pattern locking for the screen lock by the way.
My older phone Note 3 with S view cover doesn't behave like this. It won't get locked until 10 min (which is my setting).
Anyone else using S view cover having the same behavior?

I just tested this, I've confirmed that on mine when I close the S-View cover it does in fact stay unlocked for however long I've set the automatic lock time to. The setting I'm changing is in the lock screen settings, called "Lock Automatically", and changes how long it waits to lock the phone after the screen turns off. I tried it set both at 5 seconds and 1 minute, and after closing the S-View cover I timed it for 15 seconds starting once the S-View screen turned off. When it was set to 5 seconds the phone was locked when I opened the cover, and when it was set to 1 minute the phone was still unlocked. I'm not sure why yours locks immediately, but I'd probably just double check to make sure your lock time setting is correct.
Also I will mention I'm using the fingerprint unlock, not the pattern unlock, so I'm not sure if that makes any difference- I'll try out the pattern later and see.

I tried lock automatically for 5, 10, minutes, etc still the cover will lock it within few seconds as if the setting is 'lock immediately'.
I also tested with both pattern & fingerprint. I had the same immediate locked result.

Ok I did another test. Apparently now it works under 'normal' mode. So far most of the time I'm using it with 'power saving' mode ON. I turned it off and seems OK now. This is weird because my old Note 3 works with power saving ON and OFF.
Soul777toast, does your one work with Power saving mode ON?

I don't know because I've never had to turn power saving mode on. I've got a 30-40 minute commute each way every day for work and my phone sits in a dock charging for the whole time, so I basically never get below 70% or so on most days. I did test it one day just to see how the battery would last and didn't plug in to charge at all for the whole day- normal useage from 6:00 AM to 10:30 PM, with bluetooth, NFC, and location on the whole time, and wifi on periodically. By the end of the day I was only down to 35%. My conclusion: this battery rocks! If I get around to it I'll try testing with power-saving mode on, but unless you're seriously pushing the phone and can't charge overnight I haven't seen much need for the power-saving mode. For that matter, if you ARE in a situation where you need to save power, you probably actually WANT the phone to lock immediately, rather than using resources keeping it running!

Ok. I guess my concern is why it doesn't work in power saving mode. It should work the same way just like note 3. Anyway let me know if had a chance to test it out. Thanks.

I am using LED Flip cover and immediately when I close the cover the phone gets locked.
I have:
- 10 min auto lock
- pin
- power saver mode off
- newest software update
Changing the above setting don't matter.
--> Looks like it's not only you and the S-View Cover...

Lockscreen Timeout Issue

so my girlfriend and me both have an S6, but I noticed an annoying thing.
The lockscreen timeout, when the device is locked and you press the power/home button, mine goes back to black in about 8 seconds and that is nice, but my gf screen, goes out in less then 5. not enough time to see all the notifications. i googled a bit and seems others encountered the same issue. even some, less then 2seconds. now i would like to know if others have the same short time or is mine pretty long or any way in changing the duration...

It's because you have power saving mode on.

Nope, it is not active. When it is activated it indeed goes off withing a second or 2, but when off, mine does 8 seconds, hers about 4seconds.
If you want, I can make a video... I'm using pattern unlock, on both phones. I notice on mine, when I press the home-button, it takes about 2 seconds for the message to drawn the pattern, to show on the screen, above the dots. On hers, it is immediately. So that is 2 seconds "faster" for no reason.

Flashing crash notification, can't read

Hi guys,
this morning i have a strange issue on my oneplus 7. The screen turned off, then it won't turn on again, the only thing on the screen was a little "pixel" flashing at the top center of the screen. I keept the power button pressed to turn off the phone, and after a bunch of seconds the screen turned back on (the phone was still on).
After that, i frequently see a flashing window that looks like a crash notification for some app, but it is so fast that i can not read what is related on... This window keeps popping out every few minutes (or seconds) but the phone seems working as alwatys. I've tried rebooting with no luck. There's no way to see some kind of log to check what app is crashing? The phone is consuming a lot of battery now (30% in the last 2h) and looks like Google Play Services has used almost 25% of battery.
