Hello I'm using HTC M8 on GPE 5.1 rom.
Does anyone know of an xposed module or any other means to turn off all gesture/proximity features? I want the screen to ONLY turn on when I hit the power button.
The screen keeps turning on in my pocket for notifications which then causes but dials or emergency calls.
So does no one else have screen on issues when phone is in their pocket?

I can't be sure about the diagnosis of your issue, but in my case, I used to have a similar problem with my Galaxy Nexus
When the phone thought it was charging, it would light up in my pocket. The problem was that I had been using different usb cables to charge the same phone. And one of those usb cables had bent something in the micro-usb female slot of my phone. So the phone would randomly light up and go to sleep even when I wasn't touching it.
This not only caused the battery to drain more quickly, but when the phone lit up in my pocket and I was accidentally touching my activated screen, it would do all kinds of things in response to my touch. The short-term fix was to enable the lock screen on my phone (which I didn't like having) and set the debugging mode to stop turning "on" the screen all the time when it was charging (which is a setting I usually have on all the time because I am a developer). However, this didn't solve all my problems. The screen still lit up in my pocket from time to time, even if it didn't stay lit up for long.
The longterm fix was to use the same micro-usb to usb cable (the one that looked the closest to the original cable that I could remember) every single time with the same exact phone. And that eventually did the trick. I also looked into replacing the component in question, but I didn't have to go that far since the simpler solution worked for me.

Hello guys.
I have my Sensation and I did (100% correctly) its S-OFF, I install the touch recovery which worked fine, I even try like 4 or 5 ROMs until I get to AOKP Build 40. Then one night suddendly my phone turned off, I've tried to wake it up powering on but it did like a small vibration and the screen did a small blink, so I think it was the battery with low charge. I put the phone to charge connecting the charger and sometimes I see the orange led static, sometimes it blinks, sometimes it turns off almost immediately and sometimes it get static in orange (charging) and in a while go to green (charged 100%). By pressing the power button just a few times I has powered on, sometimes it freezes in AOKP logo, sometimes it pass it, enter into Android and then freeze, but almost everytime it never powers on, it just make small vibrations like every 4 seconds until I put the battery off and when I connect it via USB sometimes the screen blinks like if my phone is trying to turn on but something is preventing from doing it. Right now the last time it turn on was like 2 days ago, from that day it just do what I've explained. I've tried to power it on, VolDown+Power, etc. and nothing.
Can anyone tell me what happened to this phone? Some people told me is a software matter, some tells me is the battery. The thing is I have no idea what it is.
I have used XDA and Google like a demon and nothing. That's when I do the thing I hate the most: Make a thread.
Please help me on this, I need that phone returned from the state it is right now.
Thank you so much for reading me.
Best regards.
can you boot to recovery?
Is it a stock battery or anker battery? Sometimes the battery doesn't sit tightly on the contacts, place some paper between the top of the battery and the housing. I have never heard of your problem before but I have dealt with bad contacts and they have some similarities.

I've been using my Nexus 5 for about 5 months now. Recently my phone have been having this "ghost touch" issue. My phone have a cracked screen so maybe that's the problem but I'm not entirely sure. Sometimes the touch screen doesn't work, sometimes it just presses at a spot repeatedly. The second problem is my phone sometimes dies at 80-70% battery if I play a game, use camera, or stream video. When it dies I can't turn it back on as it will die again while rebooting. It can only be turned back on by plugging it to a charger. Third is, when my phone dies or I shut it off, sometimes it will go to the "Android is starting. Optimizing app x of 152.". As I was typing this question, my phone rapidly pressed the recent screen button multiple times. Help is needed as I can't afford a new phone. The battery problem is really getting under my skin as I love to take pictures but I cant really do that properly with my phone connected to a powerbank.
Sounds like a shot battery
Recently i had the exact issue occur with my phone. (Alcatel's crappy charging port) This is what happened: My phone was charging very slowly and wasnt notifying me when plugged in (just showed lightning bolt in battery icon), when turned off only notification light would be on and phone would not say it's charging, when it was off i had to have to hold down all physical buttons on phone to power on. From a quick google search i found out that it was the charging port (since it wasnt any of the other possible causes) and i did the quick fix that a google result recommended i.e. Take a toothpick and gently angle tab in charging port up. My phone was charging just as quick and operating just as smoothly as it should. After about a month of my quick fix, im experiencing the same problem only this time my quick fix is not working. Phone just powers off and stays off, when plugged in notification light comes on but no matter how long its plugged in for the phone will not power on. I noticed the phone started to charge extremely slow, so i reached for my toothpick and got to work, but now im in a very confusing situation. Can anyone advise me on what i can do to fix this problem??
** Idol 3 5.5" Model, 6045I , Rooted, With xPosed framework and quite a few light modules installed. Im always on the go and im a power user so im always plugging in and out my charger. **
OK , my advice is to take the device to a repair center , but if you are a DIY guy , you can try to open the back of the phone and adjust the charging port. My experience (not with the idol 3) tells me , that the port just got loose from the board . you can try to weld it.
Regards. Best of luck.
So i recently picked up an XT1254 for a great deal. The phone is pristine, not a scratch on it. It looks brand new. It is totally unresponsive. If I plug it in the light on my charger turns from blue to green, telling me it's fast charging. But nothing from the phones LED. Also if I place it on a charging pad, color changes as well. I tried both options over night and still nothing. The phone does get warm (usual amount), leading me to believe it is charging the battery.
Holding the power button - nothing (no vibration, no moto logo, no LED responce)
Holding power + vol down - nothing ( = )
USB to PC - phone is not detected at all (I have ADB and current moto drivers installed)
I opened it up, and everything seems to be in order. No loose connections, no water damage. I checked the battery, and it reads roughly 2.5 volts across each pair of pins. Should it be reading 3.7-4 volts across each pair?
I unfortunately don't have another phone to check the MB, battery and LCD against.
I don't have a SIM installed in it, but I doubt it makes a difference?
Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks-

Quite low for li-ion/-poly, I don't think it ever sees 3v or under in normal circumstances. It might be well into "damaging the battery" territory at this point, and it should certainly be higher after charging it for a while...might be a goner.
Have you tried removing the battery completely and running it off the USB cord? I would expect it to, if nothing else, bring the screen up complaining of a bad/missing battery. That said, I've never tried unplugging mine to see what happens, so no real idea.
I would suggest trying to fabricate a factory cable (which would provide power directly, ignoring battery status), but I don't know if post-OMAP Motorolas are physically configured to use them. If they aren't, it'll do nothing at best and burn up traces at worst : \
Also, holding Vol - while plugging it in should bring the boot menu up, regardless of available battery charge (therefore serving as a quick test to see if the power button is the problem). But that might go out the window as well if the battery is deader than a doornail.

It doesn't. When I fresh-install a ROM, I remove my SIM card to make sure none of my data gets used before I can turn various unwanted syncs/auto-updates off. The phone doesn't care at all, and nowadays Google isn't too whiny about a missing SIM either.
Hello guys.
Sorry for reviving an old thread, but I have similar problem with my Droid Turbo. During the replacement of the battery and speaker, I noticed oxidized resistors near the proximity sensor (which wasn't working since the purchase of the phone second-hand). I have cleaned the oxidized residue with ethanol and assembled the phone. After pressing the power button, the touch buttons light up and phone was vibrating every 20s but the screen was blank. So I disassembled it again to check all the connections but everything was fine. Since then, the phone won't even vibrate, just heats up a lot after holding power button. I have tried both batteries, speakers and also powering the phone without battery (only power cord connected). Both batteries are shoving around 3.8V.
Do you please have any suggestions how to fix the phone? Or should I assume that the motherboard died?
Thanks
Hi,
Phone : RedMi 3S Prime.
Problems observed :
(1)When charger is connected, phone immediately makes short vibrations in a pattern (short-short-long-short).
(2)screen wakes up to battery showing 0%, then in around 5 seconds it jumps to 100%
(3) sometimes shows Mi logo, but does not boot.
(4)power button does not always respond.
(5) At some occasions red led blinks when charger is connected.
(6) Phone booted normally when switched on, after a few days it was kept idle (after a week since this problem started showing) I was able to use it, on battery without a charger connected to it. Now its back to the odd behavior.
I am looking to experiment with this, but have no idea how to. If there are any link suggestions or workflows, kindly help.. thanks in advance.

Seem to me that the battery needs to be replaced.
As for the power button not responding, there may a mixture of water/sweat/oils/dirt/dust that has worked it's way into the power switch and is intermittently interfering with the buttons normal functionality or it may even be stuck/sticking. If that is what is going on, you might be able to fix it by using a cotton ball and alcohol then rubbing over the button to get some alcohol to work it's way in around the button, then repeatedly and quickly tap the power button, then rock it back and forth from one edge to the other, then repeatedly run the tip of your fingernail back and forth quickly across the button, making sure to slide completely across so that your fingernail slides completely off the button so that it tries to "pop" up. Doing this enough should remove enough dirt to allow the button to function normally, if that is the issue. If you can remove the battery, it would be best to remove the battery before forcing alcohol in around the button or let the battery run completely dead before you try it if the battery can't be removed. Then let it dry thoroughly before reinserting the battery or connecting to your charger, the alcohol will evaporate completely away, you just need to give it time to be certain it's all gone before reapplying power to any of the hardware.
