I know there was a thread about this somewhere on here before, and I did a search but nothing came up.
Has anyone else have this come up in BetterBatteryStats? I remember there was a way to decrease the amount used by going to settings>sound and unchecking touch sounds and screen lock sound. I've had this unchecked for a while, but I still get a partial wakelock about this, and right now its showing 1 hr 9 min, about 204% ! Does anyone know what else could be caused by this? I haven't been listening to music, not watching anything, haven't even played any games today
Um, anyone? I still have this problem

Yes I do also and on most ICS..Havent figured it out yet either.
Did you also disable dial-pad touch tones?
They used to make AudioOut wakelock for me too..
Yea I have that unchecked as well. Every since I learned about this wake lock about 2 months back, I now keep all these settings disabled. But i recently in the past week or 2 kept checking betterbatterystats again and this always comes up at the top. During the day, i dont watch anything, if I play a game, im usually in class and always have the volume off (for media and games)
It would be good if someone figured this out

Did you install any program to boost volume like Volume + etc? They have profiles which Can cause wake locks, the sad part is poorly written programs Can cause wake locks even when profiles are off, I am not suggesting any program in particular but we wary of any betas. In my SG 2 I had to do a Nand Restore as even after deleting a program to increase volume had those wake locks. Surely keep all vibrations and haptic feedback off.

Hmmm, that could be it. I've installed dsp manager before couple times, even after flashing different roms, whether it was already loaded into the rom or I installed it as a stand alone. I'm currently, on liquid smooth and it wasn't in the rom, and I actually haven't installed it again. But obviously I've done full wipes and such where needed. So I don't know if that's still the issue.
What about haptic feedback on the keyboard presses?
Edit: I don't know know if removing haptic feedback on the keyboard helps for this issue, but i can certainly type better and faster now . I've always had hf on, on the keyboard. But i guess it's just a distraction. Hopefully this helps with the wake lock too

I have the system volume turned all the way off.. I find the startup sound and the key clicks irritating. But every once in a while it starts back up. I don't see any threads about it, and a google search yields nothing. I've had this happen on 2 Captivates now, anyone else have this problem?

Wonder if Samsung is going to address this issue at all.. it's pretty minor. But it sure does suck when the phone randomly decides to make loud clicking noises.

I have this problem as well. I have not been able to figure out the sequence of events that causes it.
I have this problem as well, it always seems to happen after I mess with stuff in the system preferences, but like the previous poster, I haven't noticed any patterns.

Yes, seems that everyone has this problem...even on custom ROMs.
What I've tried is to use Tasker to turn the system volume down to where you like it after the Navigation exits.
Works great.

I'm studying it to see how it works, can someone help me?
Why don't you just link to the official thread? http://www.swedroid.se/forum/showthread.php?t=38703
I can tell you it's working!
/edit
Works like this:
When screen is off the app checks every 30 sec to see if there is any new incoming email, sms/mms, calls. If it's returned as true the lights of your touch buttons light up. It lights up every 10 sec for 3 hours. If the phone is not wakened withing that time, it stops.
The first time you have to press "start" to start the process. If you tick the "start service on boot", it's not necessarily to press start.
Test it with the "test" key.
You can also set the default value of the brightness of the buttons with this app
Think that's about what is important from that post.
Very nice, thanks for the hint.
I was watching the fact that is fulfilled by Log messages, is it normal?
Perfect Thnx a lot for the link.

checks every 30 sec? is it possible a battery drain issue or let the phone never sleep?
that was my thoughts too... Will check it out for a day and see.

Wow, looks&works nice.. What about battery life impact?
I'm afraid it will drain terribly the battery... if someone can help me understand where is the code that controls the leds, I can try to set it up so that it's activated by notifications, instead of checking for them... we might need Paul's help here!!!
OK that's very nice and handy indeed, but i also wanna know about the battery drainage, on the otherhand using the app (or hidding menu) to reduce the output power of the leds you can conserve lot's of energy tho .
Yeah I'm not sure that's the way it's supposed to be done. While I am grateful for the dev of this app, I think the goal is to have these LEDS tied in to the Android Notification system itself, because any other way will be a drain on the battery.
Tegra2 is awesome because it takes up so little power in idle. If we have an app checking every 30s, the SoC is no longer idle, per say. If we increase the timer to let it idle, it's no longer a real notification system. Hence, this is probably not the way to go.
No I'm not sure where this is handled in Android though. If i'm not mistaken, a setting activated or not on the ROM, to tell the OS wether the phone has or not a LED for notifications. If so, we just need to rerout those acceses to the button LEDs. Then again, wtf do I know lol.
If anyone wants to point me in the right direction I'd love to look into that more closely (I dev C++, Java so should be able to work something out) Pm me.
There could be some push notification that goes to the notification bar, that may be used to also trig this software?
I guess it doesnât wake up the machine but runs as a background process.

I've used it for a day now, fr6, 1200mhz overclock. After a lot of texting, and intense music playing I still have 30% battery. At the bottomline, I haven't noticed any impact on the battery life.
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
I'm having a go at writing my own version that can do both brightness settings and notifications. So far I've caught up to Paul's app feature-wise, and will tackle notifications in a bit (hopefully in a more battery friendly way).
If I'm first done then I might put it on the market, but otherwise it's a great learning exercise for me!

Code:
echo 20 > /sys/devices/platform/star_touch_led/wled
20 is the brightness value i think.
I've used mine for 7 hours now, 50% left.
I've used wimp for music, wifi hotspot and xda/web. That's prof it's good enough for me...
Nice app! Just what I was looking for!
This is apparently a common enough thing from what I've seen on line, but every solution I find involves the person having used a profile switcher or their calender to signify being unavailable. I do not use either type of program. I almost never silence my phone. (in the movie theater or similar, yes, but otherwise never) Does anyone have any idea what it could be? It;s only been happening since the OTA update to .217 ICS. It's getting thoroughly aggravating missing calls and texts, as I'm sure you can imagine... Thank you to anyone with ideas/suggestions.
Check your settings in both the system settings as well as each individual app. I think after the update the messaging app is set to silent by default, or at least the vibrate is turned off.
If the system is messed up I recommend that everyone install the ota factory reset. Clearing out your old GB data and letting the ICS run "fresh" solves a lot of problems.

Could it be a Smart Actions setting?
Settings are all fine yet it does randomly put itself on silent mode no vibration and you have to turn it back to vibration via settings volume rocker just puts it back on silent....

If it keeps happening tomorrow, I will do a full factory reset. Hoping I won't have to though. It's a pain in the rear to restore everything... It isn't a smart action thing because I have that app frozen, good thought though. Thank you all for the responses.
I tried a fr from recovery menu never froze apps nor rooted this d4 didn't help...

Update
I've found that it is only doing it with phone calls now. I cannot find a setting in the phone app or the system settings that is set to mute, but it keeps happening. Also, after using the lock screen to unmute it, I have to turn up the volume manually. The lock screen thing only bumps it up to the minimum volume level... Anything else come to mind before i do a full FR? I'd really rather avoid it if I can... Thanks again.
Now I've got one worse. Did a FR, no go. Tried to update to Eclipse, and messed it up. Had to .sbf back to factory. EVEN AFTER the .sbf, still having the same issue with it muting while recieving a call.... (i.e. goes on vibrate instead of ringing....) Any ideas ANYONE???!!?!?!?
Honestly, this sounds like a hardware issue to me. If I understand correctly, it sounds like the phone keeps going to silent (or vibrate after ICS)?
My guess after all your software troubleshooting is that your volume down key is either physically or electronically damaged, and periodically decreases itself. You might want to try remapping the volume button or something to see if that solves the problem. Of course, after that you don't have any volume buttons, which stink.
Aside, the physical buttons (power, volume) on the D4 really stink. They are very mushy and almost flush with the case, poor design if you ask me.
That thought crossed my mind also, but it only happens on an incoming call, and I can adjust the volume up and down in every app. If I don't receive a call all day, there is no problem, texts & emails work fine. I've even had a friend sit with me and text me (sound worked) then call me (muted as it received the call) and all it did was vibrate, no ringtone. I have who is it and thought it might be that, but un-installed it and no change... I'm totally out of ideas...
Thank you for the ideas, unfortunately nothing has worked so far. Any further ideas will be much appreciated. Thanks again.
Finally figured it out. Apparently it had to do with some stetting that Who Is It made. I had it set to announce the caller, which apparently doesn't work now. When I un-installed who is it nothing changed, so I re-installed it and on a whim disabled the announce feature, and it's been ringing fine since. I believe it was some sort of setting because after disabling the announcement, I un-installed who is it again, and the phone would ring without a problem. No Idea what setting it was. Thanks to veryone for the help.
As stated, screen will not go off via timeout or power button tap. Power button is recognized and will bring up shut down menu like normal.
Device is rooted (thanks DG) and had been running well for over a week. Defrosted all apps from tibu in case I got over zealous but no better. A factory reset has not cleared it up either. Hoping the oneclick from the root package will correct the issue, but thats not until I get home later this evening.
Has anyone experienced / recovered from this issue?

Thanks for the thoughts.
I had already gone through the standard - double check the settings, remove recent apps. When all that failed and a factory reset still didn't clear it up I was beginning to worry about some kind of hardware damage (don't see how since I treat it better than my child ).
Fortunately the one click from the root seems to have restored proper operation. Back to rooting and rebuilding!

I'm having the same problem, I rooted through vroot.... what do you mean one click fixed it little my incite would be helpful....
thank you
Mine just did this, scared the hell out of me It also didn't go into deep sleep before it started. (Not rooted).
Pulled the battery, waited 30 seconds, plugged it back in.... same thing. Waited a few minutes, seems to have sorted itself out.
Scary....
This is definitely a software bug and it is related to the Headphone detection bug that people are having too (it's actually the same bug causing both issues). This happens to me quite often after I restart my phone. It's kind of like the phone hangs during the startup process. I've also noticed that the wifi/bluetooth status that was present before restarting the phone (i.e. whether they on/off) doesn't get applied until the bug sorts itself out.
For me sometimes this works: open an app like Chrome and then hit the home button to get back to your launcher. This works 95% of the time for me. I'm wondering if it has something to do with not having Touchwiz set as the default launcher.
I'm experiencing this same problem. If I don't manually turn the screen off by tapping the power button, the screen will not timeout.

I did notice a HUGE decrease in wake-up performance while messing with the lockscreen "effects". It seems either using no effect to unlock it, or the watercooler is the fastest (which I like the best anyway).
Also, try turning off the help information and the additional information (such as the weather). The lockscreen weather will effect wake-up time due to it trying to refresh when you wake-up the phone.
I experienced this issue running ART. Been on dalvik since last night and haven't noticed it yet, but it hasn't been long enough to be definitive.
Wow you guys are onto something.
I indeed switched to ART.
Well going back to dalvik to see if it stops.
Thanks guys

2 days with mine and I have noticed this several times, some KK custom ROMs had a similar issue so it didn't really faze me but it shouldn't be there on a factory ROM. It has always come on after 2-3 pushes but again this is a brand new totally stock device so WTF?
It seems like there is a slight delay between button push and screen light up so pushing it the 2nd time actually turns it off. If I wait a very long second it lights up without multiple pushes.
