[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] wilsonic:
A few weeks after I got my Pixel I started experiencing random screen locks while I'm holding and using the phone.

I have it set to Auto lock after 1 minute of activity but this can happen sometimes immediately after unlocking with the finger print scanner. Ive only noticed it happening while on my hour train commute but that could just be because that's where I'm using it the most consistently.

I talked to Google support via chat and they suggested booting into safe mode to see if it's a third party app causing the issue. Ive currently been using safe mode for an hour and it has happened but only once when it first rebooted.

Has anyone else experienced this? I've contacted Google support again and will update if they find anything.

Thanks
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] WillJitsu:
I have experienced this several times. I can't pinpoint what's causing it. I'm just glad someone else is seeing this happen as well. Hopefully someone gets to the bottom of it.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] nednednerb:
I use an app "Always On" which has a "timeout" feature.

The app uses AMOLED ambient display to put a clock and notifications on the screen.

I use it when going to bed or at night. The timeout feature uses Device Administrator access and causes the screen to go fully off after a while. Sometimes the app causes the Devices Administrator requires password "error," definitely.

I will test more and report, but earlier in week I noticed screen go off as you describe, as I've noticed now and again too, and I realized it was maybe exactly 3 hours since I freshly set a 3 hr timeout in Always On. At that point I was using my phone when the device locked.

Hmm.

P4xl - Same random screen locking symptoms, NOT MAGNET related.

All of the responses in this describe the symptoms of the problem I have with my Pixel4xl, but not the description of the cause.

I most DEFINITELY do not have any magnets within any proximity to my phone.

It only has an Otterbox case, and will often lock when being actively used, while behind held at least 6" from any other object (except my hands).

Is anyone else experiencing this (non-magnet related issue)?

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] bmedeiros:
I had the same issue on my Pixel XL. Didn't think twice about it since it was an older phone, probably a bug with new os/old phone. But i just upgraded to the Pixel 4a and the same thing is happening! Is it related to smart unlock? The weather? Mars in retrograde?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] djdole:
Definitely not the cause for me.

In my Otterbox case, when pressed, the volume buttons cause the volume interface to appear (which isn't happening),

and the power button has a distinct click when pressed (and when held, activates the nfc card payment interface).

A good guess, but unfortunately isn't the cause, in my situation. ??

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] aes512:
Logcat Download

Each night, I plug in my Google Pixel XL to a wall outlet,

and by the morning my phone will have crashed

.

My phone is stock, however it has an unlocked bootloader and I had rooted it (I unrooted it a few minutes ago, as I am desperate to figure out what is causing my phone to crash). I also have a slight suspicion that enabling the Do not disturb feature "may" have something to do with this.

A few days after I got the phone, I did a factory reset on the device and reflashed the latest stock images from Google. After doing this, my phone did not crash after the first night. I then re-rooted my phone and began adding more apps. Sure enough, my phone crashed again overnight (and every night since then).

This is EXTREMELY frustrating! I REALLY need my phone to be stable and reliable. I bought this phone from a local seller on Craigslist, so I do not have the ability to get any support from Google on my issues.

I have only been able to pull a single logcat when this occurs, which I am attaching to this post. I would definitely like to figure out if rooting could be the cause of this or if it could be somehow related to the bootloader being unlocked? (I read a couple of reddit posts that lead me to think that there could be an outside chance if this causing some issues, as strange as it sounds)
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] aes512:
Thanks, Scott! I saw that too. I have wiped and reimaged the device since those fired, and although I haven't seen any evidence of those specific errors again - my phone did die again the night before last, and I wasn't able to pull logcat output from it afterwards.

Hoping that there isn't a hardware problem with this phone!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Scott:
Have you tried running it with just the stock apps to eliminate a rouge app?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] aes512:
Yeah, I had it running with just a few apps at first and it survived overnight. Afterwards, I rooted it and installed a handful of other apps (probably not of value at this point, but the bootloader was unlocked the entire time).

My plan tonight is to see what happens now that I have unrooted (SR4). If if crashes again, I'll go back and remove all of the other apps that I had installed after the last known good configuration.

If the phone doesn't crash, I'll then install the apps one by one to hopefully figure out which one is problematic.

I REALLY wish that there was a better way to diagnose this, I had installed 7 additional apps and it's going to be a time consuming process trying to troubleshoot which app is causing the issues.

[MENTION=426561]Scott[/MENTION] - another suspect that is on my list: Do not disturb. I have a strange feeling that by me activating DND, it could be triggering the issue with one of the apps somehow. I have also seen log events that looked bizarre with "doze" at night when DND went active (I should have saved them), so I'm left wondering if doze / DND might also be something I should troubleshot.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Scott:
1. This is the best way... Trust me :highfive: Been doing this with users for years....

2. MMMMM.... If that was the case more people would be reporting it... I will try "Do not disturb" tonight (or really tomorrow) and let you know what I find. However, I just don't think it has anything to do with your issue. I have been wrong before and I am sure I will be wrong again...

I got your thread posted... I will stay tuned and I will let you know with how I do with "Do Not Disturb"...

Logcat Overnight Crash #2

I definitely appreciate it Scott! It crashes again overnight, this time I was able to pull another logcat. Here is what I find bizarre:

11-24 23:40:57.244 24314 24966 W StorageManager: Could not read /sys/block/mmcblk0/size
11-24 23:40:57.244 24314 24966 W StorageManager: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /sys/block/mmcblk0/size (No such file or directory)

This is the first java.io.FileNotFoundException for /sys/block/mmcblk0/size. My phone was perceived to be "fuctional" at that time last night (I think I went to bed around 2a). The log gets really nasty thereafter as you can see.

The last thing that I did with my phone last night was disable Google voice detection, since I wanted to see if that made any differences at night (since I sleep with a fan on for "white noise"). My phone seemed fine, but obviously this issue cropped up again with it black screening by morning :mad:

I'm considering wiping it yet again and re-imaging the stock firmware, and just add apps one by one each day.

If there is a good chance that this phone is damaged, I will take it back to the person that i bought it from for a refund. My 9-5 job is Linux - if this were a server or VM, I would have blown it away by now! ;)
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] aes512:
[MENTION=426561]Scott[/MENTION] - I have some backstory to add to this that may/may not be relevant. I had a chat with the original owner of this phone today. He isn't very tech savvy, and he tells me that he had rooted the device a week before he sold it to me (for tethering with AT&T).

He doesn't remember which SuperSU version that he installed.; all that he could tell me is that he followed some Pixel rooting guide. I'm guessing that he either installed SuperSu SR2 or SR3.

When i bought the phone from him, he had initiated a factory reset on the device from the settings menu, and we sat there for almost minutes waiting for it to complete.

He said that he had run into some issues when he rooted, but could not give me any specifics. I'm wondering now if there are somehow lingering side effects of a botched root attempt that could be causing issues on my device? I don't know if that would even be possible though, since I:

Did a factory reset through the settings menu (which did not complete), so I rebooted into the stock recovery mode and initiated the reset from there

Downloaded the official images from Google and ran a ./flash-all.sh

I'm desperate and obviously reaching for low hanging fruit that may or may not be there! LOL :(

I have CM13 on the g900V and have some problems with CPU frequencies (posted on the ROM thread). It seems the only custom kernel for this phone and ROM is an unofficial boeffla kernel which was last updated in April and with which I had some problems too (random reboots).

I can report camera is working!

I had to install the latest CM13 nightly. The latest snapshot does not work. It's not on CM's site anymore so here's a link.

The kernel I used is the very latest test build. This link is the developer's folder which will hopefully contain the latest ones. Mine I pulled it from the folder "cm13-new test kernels".

If anyone wants, I can explain how to edit the script so the kernel doesn't refuse to install in g900v.

Hi, VonMoltke...

As has already been alluded to, go to...

Android Settings>>Apps

...scroll down and locate the app in question and disable whatever permissions you find onerous.

You don't need root for this, or the need to install any special app.

--------------

See the attached screenshot of the official Twitter app, and it's associated (toggle-able) permissions as an example of what I'm getting at.

Hope this helps.

Rgrds,

Ged.
[Android Drones General & Development] VonMoltke:
Yes, that works, thanks. I was hoping to use something like XPrivacy that can feed fake data to the app in case denying permissions causes the app to force close. In this case, just turning off the onerous permissions seems to be sufficient.

The problem with using Android settings is it does not include all the permissions. It's like they added these settings to make people feel like they have control over permissions but the most evasive permissions are unable to be blocked. Frustrating.

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSkywayBridge:
Hey guys!

I finally started using my 2 Shield Tablets again, one I was running Ubuntu and Blisspop and the other was just stock. I wanted to keep one of them stock but it seems with the lag that it's absolutely useless and the updates completely curbed my tablet, even though lollypop was kind of pushing it out too.

So the time has come to give a fresh set of OS to my babies. I have a few questions and I hope some of the more seasoned guys here can point me in the right direction.

I'm basically looking for speed and battery life. I don't play games on my tablets and I actually used Ubuntu as a decent laptop sometimes.

I'd like to know with the late-2016 development in the tablet, what route I should take for an almost bare bones (Internet/Chrome, YouTube, Playstore, Music Player, File reader) level of Android that's also quick. Back on my painfully slow S2 HD LTE, I used Slimkat with a black theme and that increased my battery by probably 30% and the phone was actually useful for once. I'm hoping to kind of go that same route, but also use a dual boot for one of them, this one doesn't have to be as quick on Android.

Thanks for reading! Sorry for asking but I feel it'd be easier for you guys to just pass on the knowledge rather than me shovelling through 80 different roms, all pretty in their own way.
