[HTC One X] Rowlf:
task killer or smart stay ex

Had happened to me last evening. Random auto wakeup, first the touch buttons lightup and then

the screen. Then it goes to sleep on its own and then wakeup again. At first I thought it was related

to motion sensor because it always managed to coincide when I started typing in my laptop. But later

I noticed it wasn't the case as I was away from the table when it reached a very fast frequency

similar to notification LED,flashing sleeping flashing sleeping.... then complete sleep.

Went in task manager in search of rouge app, found "HTC Hub","Google Search","Google Play"

and a few other were constantly being slaughtered by the "Android Task Killer Free".

Exited the "Android Task Manager Free" and the auto wakeup has completely disappeared since then.

I also closed smart stay EX, which might have been the culprit as well since I have got dust in my front

camera and those might be recognized as faces or eyes?

I suggest you check for stray apps or task killers.

Make sure that none of the apps(background) crashing or being killed.

I believe custom roms try to enhance the performance by limiting the minimum

memory balance before which background inactive apps are killed by android.

Might be the cause but not quite sure.

So thats that, worth a try. Go to [Apps-->Running] and check if some app is disappearing and reappearing

on its own. Force stop it. Reboot the phone. Avoid any memory tweaking and task killer,

android is smart enough to know when to kill and when to keep apps.

Note: I am running a stock 4.0.3(1.29), no unlock,rooting etc... :)

Good luck
[HTC One X] Waseem Manneh:
That worked !! but in a different way, i have no task killers and the ROM did not kill apps before because it didnt use to happen until recently, but i tried to clean up my phone and uninstalled some apps and it stopped since then, problem is i uninstalled them all at once so i dont know which app exactly was the cause but sure it was one of 'em.. maybe it got corrupted and started crashing in the background or something because i didnt install any apps recently... this didnt happen not even once since i cleaned up those apps.. thanx a lot for helping :)
[HTC One X] HebeGuess:
So the root cause could be thee Apps that has permissions to wack/prevent (android.permission.WAKE_LOCK) your devices from sleeping..

I experienced it occasionally while 'smart stay EX' was on beta time..
[HTC One X] ahikmat:
I recommend installing "Wakelock detector" which shows statistics of WAKE_LOCK usage !!

Earlier I was trying to upgrade the firmware via Kies and something went wrong. My Note is now stuck with a " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". But when you try to connect to Kies via usb then nothing happens and is unable to connect.

What are my alternatives to get my phone working again?

next to following the recovery mode steps, usb connection troubleshooting, etc in Kies,

you can get phone into download mode and flash the desired rom throught pc odin:) See dr Ketans thread in sticky section original development

Can't seem to do it via Kies anymore since when I plug it via USB to KIES - its just says "connecting" the whole time until it times out. Sucks that this could happen even if i'm using the Kies software. Such a hassle.

Looking over dr ketans thread, would it matter which country ROM one uses from the list? What are the pros and cons?

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] nirslsk:
Hi,

I've had the Galaxy player for a few months now, and I'm generally very happy with it. Although I get pretty decent battery life out of it, I'd say normally about five to ten days of idle time with roughly six hours of screen on time and about as much wi-fi on time, with maybe an additional three hours as a music player, one issue relating to battery drain appears to be constant. I'm currently back on stock, but this also happened on Eryigit -- I get very slow drain from about 100-80%, then it seems like the battery goes into freefall, going down from 80% down to 25% in a matter of an hour to an hour and a half of regular use, then slows down again until the battery dies. I tried calibrating the battery several times with no difference. I'm guessing I'm getting pretty good use of the battery overall, but this erratic drainage pattern makes me feel like I'm too often close to running out as the device spends around half the time I'm using it at 25% or less. I've read somewhere that the battery level measurement on the Galaxy Player 5.0 is highly inaccurate, and in fact is only a guess based on the voltage output of the battery. I still have to wonder though, is this a normal pattern for this device?

Thanks, Nir
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] alljokingaside:
Hey. I've noticed a similar pattern via battery monitor widget, tho nowhere even close to ws prononced as yrs. I generally monitor the mA rate and it goes from -2ma steadily until 80%, the rate then speeds up. W moderate usage, i get roughly 2 days out of the sgp before charging, when there's roughly 30% or less left.

I also remembr some folks mentioning that the battery wont report greater than 80%; i imagine that 80% acts a sort of border where he readings r concerned.

Try out that program i mentioned to monitor usage. Personally, im on entropys kernel and chips rom (occasionally switching to paranoid android), have undervolted it slightly, and added a few init.d scriptsl aiming for optimal battry life. Also, try out watdhdog lite to monitor any apps that might be wakelocking improperly and Gemini app manager to disable ann0ying apps from starting on boot.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] nirslsk:
Bah, I think I might have gotten a bum battery. Any idea how much screen on time/wi-fi on time you're getting with a full charge? I use BetterBatteryStats to measure, which also helped me diagnose GPS-related drainage issues (those kernel wakelocks went away when I stopped turning off the GPS, but I'm pretty sure it's a stock kernel issue). I'll try out battery monitor. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] alljokingaside:
Well, given that you can have it on idle for 6 days, it might not be thay persay

Actually, onnsecond thought Powertutor is prolly better suited for your issue. It can monitor power use per application

High display brightness; wifi that doesnt sleep even w screen off (it never sleeps by default); apps that enable things like gps, that makes requests and sends info w.o yr consent thru wifi- these, among 0ther things, drain battry life and are other things to consider

---------- Post added at 10:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 PM ----------

And cant say. I usually do 2-3 days before i recharge; i rarely go under 20% and dont game

Also, just caught this- gps is a huge power suck. Like huge. That may be yr problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] DZonikg:
It was same for me on stock rom and every other rom..70% of time from 100 to 10 it is staying on 75% and 25%..and when its on 25% it can last all day with moderate usage dont moving from 25.Its because device only measure voltage which is innacuare ,voltage dont drop linear like mah.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] heet1:
well i had that prob with my old SGP but since i messed it up andgot it replaced it doesnt stop at 80% for like an hour it just charges straight through :) tht was before i had enthropys512 kernel flashed....now the battery is faster :D to charge
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] alljokingaside:
Well, I suppose another plug for Battery Monitor Widget-

It provides a handy estimate for discharges/recharges that's proved pretty accurate. After entering the actual battery capacity and a few cycles, the app estimates charge and discharge time based upon that as well as the readings it receives. The discharge estimate isn't as accurate as I'd like, but that's probably due to my sporadic usage. The charge time, however, should be accurate since charge times are charge times are charge times.

Jeez- I should like contact the dev for a commission on the app at my rate.

Re-flashing the kernel might help, if A) killing GPS (except when, obviously, you're actually using it) and B) getting rid of those wakelocks (try Watchdog Lite-free) don't work. Eryigit's ROM, from what I remember, already has the Entropy kernel baked in
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] cvcduty:
If you do some search through the past threads, you will find some discussions on this very topic.

Even though the battery performance of the device seems to be quite on par with other Android devices I have used, the amount of battery charge that is being reported is, a general guess at best. As it is, it only shows the charges and discharges only at 5% increments and on top of that, as OP stated, it seems to jump around a lot.... 100%-80% normal drain... jump down to 30% and hold... etc... heck! My device will show full charge and the moment I take off the charger, it drops to 80%... I have 4 5.0 devices and they all do that... I have stock GB, ICS and Custom GB roms and all are showing the same thing. I believe it has to do with the way the charge state is being reported... It must be a hardware glitch and I guess that is why no matter what rom you are on you will see this erratic battery % report.

I have stopped worrying about it since it does not seem to actually affect how the battery is performing.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] nirslsk:
Oh yes, I saw that post when I was skimming search results, but got fixated on the not charging above 80% part and didn't realize it was the same issue. I guess this is normal then. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] nirslsk:
Regarding GPS: It actually doesn't seem to affect my battery life unless I'm using Google Maps, in which case the GPS flashes in the status bar and yes, the battery drains much faster. Confirmed regarding Eryigit and its custom kernel not having the same GPS wakelock issues. I went back to stock because I wanted something really light, what I ended up doing is using Titanium Backup to uninstall anything that showed up in the apps drawer or task manager that I didn't need. That made everything really nice and fast. Of course you could do the same thing with Eryigit. That might be my next move. Or maybe just try the custom kernel with the Stock ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] veritucis:
80%

Yeah. I'm currently using Paranoid Android and it only charges to 80%. When I unplug and plug in the device it starts charging again. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] nirslsk:
I love the Galaxy Player 5.0, but it really bugs me the way Samsung so often completely abandons its customers past the point of purchase. Charging problems, bogus battery level readout, GPS off battery drain, screwy unusable GPS compass... and forget about Android updates. The US version never even got 2.3.6. I really wish there was a viable non-Samsung alternative to the 5.0, but there doesn't appear to be anything else out there that's like it.

I wouldn't upgrade to 7.0 since it still isn't entirely compatible with all roms and downgrades methods, as far as I know. ENG Hboot is all right tho

i have rooted and unlocked bootloader on my htc one x from at&t. i installed twrp. i downloaded and copied this rom to my phone and i am now trying to flash it. http://onexroot.com/one-xl-roms/cm10-jelly-bean-rom-for-att-one-xone-xl/

what was weird is that when its booting it says cyanogenmod 9 not ten.

it has been at least 10 minuets now and i need to know how to fix this. thankyou.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] HTC_Phone:
Well...

First off. If you know about XDA (Which is clear, since you're posting your problem here in the forum), why did you download a ROM from another site? One that doesn't look as 'legitimate' as XDA?

Second. CM10 doesn't have a boot animation yet (They may now, but the ROM you downloaded may not have been updated.) There was a CM10 ROM here on XDA that was using the CM9 animation due to lack of CM10 bootanimation.

It sounds to me like something went wrong when flashing. You need to reboot into twrp and reflash the ROM. I highly recommend downloading a ROM from XDA and going that route.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Completely agree here. That website looks pretty dodgy. Loaded with ads, it doesn't give much information on what you are even downloading/installing, and it doesn't seem to be posted by the actual developer, or give any credit to them (aside from the brief "Credits - XDA" link at the bottom of the article. Plus the download location is not the same as the original Developer's link, which would worry me (to say the least). I'd avoid downloading from this site, unless you have a legit reason to believe its reputable. But it just looks like one of those unscrupulous sites that posts contents from other sources, and rakes in ad revenue from clueless vendors.

Also, the version of the ROM linked is 3 weeks older than what the dev has posted here on XDA, with the newer version having fixed lots of stuff.

Stick to the Development subforums here. Much safer.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ruffdogtechy:
If you are looking for a safe ROM to install, I highly suggest you look through this XDA. There is a nearly flawless CM10 ROM here. I user it for a little while and loved it, but missed Sense too much and switched to CleanROM
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
I would strongly recommend doing a full wipe and factory reset before anything else. Who knows what you actually installed?

There are a LOT of sites out there offering what purports to be legitimate android software but is actually malware. Android's openness is a big plus but is also a risk. You have to be careful where you get apps and roms from. Just googling for them is going to get you in trouble very quickly.

Here's just one good example:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
Lol I said the exact same thing to this guy in his other thread when he thought he bricked his phone. Some people never learn.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sdotfitz:
Steps to fix your problem

1) are u coming from a sense 4.0.4 ROM/stock? If so u have an incompatible hboot. This will cause boot loop like what u are seeing if this is the case you have to change to the older boot.img (if u updated to the newest at&t ota ur on 4.0.4 if ur coming from a ROM like clean ROM 4.5 ur on 4.0.4) this is most likely your problem to fix this you need to use fast boot to change the boot.IMG I don't know the exact procedure off the top of my head but ull find it with a quick search

2) if not and ur coming from sense 4.0.3 then you should reboot to twrp and wipe cache/dalvic cache this should fix it

3) if not wipe everything (except SD card) this means cache, dalvik cache, factory reset, and system then reflash.

Important definitely grab the newest build from here like what was mentioned earlier.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MistaButters:
CM10 currently uses the CM9 boot animation. If you have AT&T 2.20 software, then you need to flash the boot.img using fastboot or CM10 (and all ROMs) will just stay in the boot animation for ever. Why didn't you download CM10 from XDA?

i might sound like a noob its just because im not used to samsungs and i recently softbricked my phone because somebody who posted a rom for my fone never mentioned having to flash a kernel, and i dont want that to happen with his

thx in advance guys
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -SGA-:
yup, root with super one click and install CWM through Rom manager app in the Play store.

You may run into recovery 3e problems, where your install of update.zip gets denied because of signature verification failure; where, in that case you will need to use Odin to flash a kernel with CWM included.

let me know if you have any problems.

Hey guys, I need some help from you. My HTC leo's screen is not responsive, sometimes when I press power off button stronger it works, but for short amount of time. If I change the digitizer will my screen responds 100%?

And, is this digitizer OK? : http://tinyurl.com/cfy9rav

Thank you for help, and sorry for bad English. :]
[HD2 General] Spaqin:
Changing it should work, of course if the problem is caused by digitizer ribbon.

And yes, this is a digitizer, but there are two (plug-in and soldered versions) types of them. You need to take your phone apart before ordering a digitizer to make sure you buy a good type.
[HD2 General] Dukas98:
Thank you, but how can I make sure which type is good without taking my phone apart? Mine is EU version. :]
[HD2 General] daveyb123:
Turn off then turn on while holding vol down. Look at bottom right number. If it reads 0x30 its solder type (295), if it's 0x50 it's plug in type (300), if it's 0x40 I've no idea, maybe plugin (300 type) - so I read...yet to fix mine. Most UK/EU are solder type. If it's has T-mobile on the front it's plug-in type - so I read.

If anyone fixes theirs and all goes well and looks good then please write a brief post saying where you got the part from :) - so hard to know where to buy, and where not to buy from, particularly from the UK
