Settings changing regularly - LG Optimus 4X HD

Hi,
My 4x has an annoying problem, but it isn't just this phone as this is a replacement of may first one which developed a fault after 2 weeks and that had same problem too.
I'm on UK v10h. Every now and the when I restart my phone, my personal ringtone saved on my micro sd gets reset to default system tone. The ringtone is in root folder of my micro SD card in folder named "ringtone," but this is a weird problem I never had on my xperia arc.
Also, again randomly but very annoyingly the "auto brightness" gets turned off and I either have a super bright screen or a very dim one, and I have to go into settings and select it again.
Lastly, when phone starts up, it takes an age for media scanning finish, I've installed media scan app and it does a good job, but for initial startup it still takes ages.
Anyone else gave similar problems?

The media scanning seems like a normal process since it does take forever. As on the ring tone u might have to put it on the phone instead the sd card or wait for the media scan to finish and see if it still defaults it.

Music file problem

Hi all, this is a strange one.
Yesterday I noticed my music was having problems, I use power amp and have 'disabled' walkman.
I first noticed something was not right when I was running power amp and did a 'shuffle all' and it said 1/346 but I knew I had over 600 songs.. I went to have a look with root explorer and it refused me access to my music folder (see attached)
I then plugged it in to the pc and could see that a number of music files had disappeared and some had been renamed (to incoherent things with squares and dashes). I could not delete them and ended up having to reformat the sd card. What could be causing this? This is the second time this has happened! Is it power amp causing the problem? How can I check?
Thank you for your time

To add to this, both times this happened to me I was listening to music, with poweramp, via Bluetooth in my car.
I have now changed my sd card and will report if this happens again.

Hello, something similar happened to me. But I was using an HTC Legend and a microsd with 32gb. Then I switched to the Xperia T and I noticed the same problem. So I just formatted the microSD and now I don't have any problem.

[Q] Devices is keeping device awake? Is this DLNA? Can I disable it?

When using the phone with 'Stamina Mode' switched on I got the message that the phone was kept awake because of 'Devices'. I went into my Pwer Management > Battery Usage, and to my surprise Devices is at the top of the list, it has used 19% of my battery. It has a red icon (round circle) with a 'Movies' pictogram in it. The information about Devices is the following:
Code:
CPU Total: 12m 58s
CPU Foreground: 0s
Keep awake: 2h 33m 48s
Data sent: 2.98MB
Data received: 9.30MB
When I open Settings > Apps > Running and look for 'Devices' I find three services: DlnaDmsService, PushDerviceImpl and UpnpServiceCp. I also find the com.sonyericsson.dlna service. Does anyone know why dlna is running on my phone, even when I'm not connected to WiFi? What could be causing the wake? I do not have dlna enabled, and I think 'Devices' is a strange name for an Android process, especially with the Movies icon.
TL;DR:
What is Devices, why iis it running when I'm not on WiFi, and Can I disable it permanently?
Did you use throw or media share?

I have used throw once on a Bravia TV, but I have turned media sharing off after that. This was about a week ago, and I have rebooted the phone at least two times since. My bluetooth headset has been connected for about an hour, and when it connects it is in the 'Throw' list. But is this a reason for the phone to use CPU wake time when WiFi AND Bluetooth aren't even connected?
Noticed mine was doing the same since yesterday over 45% battery useage for Devices.
I did work out how to use Throw yesterday, cant seem to get it to stop now
Just done a power volume+ reset and see if it clears up
If you refresh batter stats - the "Devices" changes to com.sonyericsson.dlna for a fraction of a second
Yup this is what kills Stamina Mode if you use throw you're phone will be like this for a while. Even when you turn all the auto stuff off it will happen again when you next throw. Hopefully it will be fixed, if not then it settles down again after a day or two.

But does using a Bluetooth Stereo Headset qualify as 'using Throw'? Because it shouldn't have anything to do with dlna, right?
It has happened to me once when I've used Walkman but I haven't managed to replicate it, but Throw it has done it to me repeatedly.

Hmm... interesting. Thanks for sharing your insights! Tomorrow I'll disable the 'Devices' application and see what it means in terms of battery usage and loss of functionality. I'll report back at the end of the day.
Today I disabled Devices. Bluetooth worked as it should, and my battery is at about 56%. I guess it's okay if you don't use DLNA. Of course this is all subjective, but I do think that my battery is lasting a little bit longer. If you're not using throw I recommend disabling Devices. You can disable it in Settings > Apps > All > Devices > Disable.
Stop Throw
So, anyone knows how to totally stop Throw???
No matter what I try, I keep getting the Throw symbol in my status bar.
No and I would like to know this. Seems like when you load it once, you're stuck with it (unless you disable).

[Q] Getting false internal storage full warnings

Anyone else experiencing getting false internal storage almost full warnings?
A few days ago I had a warning that my internal storage was 75% full. I checked my storage and it says I still have 7gb free. Today the message came up again saying my internal storage is 101% full. How is that even possible?! In storage settings it still says 7gb free.
How do I fix this?

Maybe there are some temp files? Do you get warrning in time of usage some application/game?
Yup, have had exactly the same messages being displayed, first time round I agreed and it seems to have copied some random instagram photos and camera thumbs. 2nd and 3rd time I have just ignored the message but it does seem like a fault, and will become increasingly annoyingly. Using clean master app regular to remove temp files and free ram

Can also confirm it here, but only within the first week. Since then its been fine - most strange.
I also keep having my microSD card randomly dismount and that was driving me nuts, but as it was empty I just ended up taking it out. Will try another one when I eventually get around to it.

Google play updates notifications, reboots and some.

Hello.
I've wrote it before that my phone just random likes to reboot itself like once every day.
I also noticed that usually after these reboots it shows up app update notifications. But when the phone is on, these notifications don't show up. I have to either check manually or it will show up when the phone restarted from a reboot. Or if I restart it myself.
I have notifications set to on for this.
Wondering if this might be one of the reasons my phone decides to reboot. It hasn't failed yet, it is one reboot per day. And it's random when I use the phone.
I'm hoping it's a software bug in the new firmware. I've already tried the repairs, flashed other roms and so in. Tried a new sim card and also a new microsd card. Still the same.

SM-G900H <<Bug List>>

okay, this is going to be a long post.
I will recomplie all the known bugs in this thread until now.
Known Bugs:
-Galaxy Player bugs up after playing music constantly for 30 -60 minutes.
(ALL system begins to slow down, creating an unusable device, restart fixes this bug.)
-Camera takes pictures, some of them after being taken, are corrupted files.
Not sure why this happens but it happens.(Some users report this is due to the Music Player bug)
-Phone Lags on Wake-Up after using a 64gb Micro-SD. Not tested on 16 or 32gb ( using 32gb, no wake up lags )
Rare Bugs:
-Unresponsive power button, does not work anyhow, long pressing for 10 seconds = one long press.
Rebooting several times solves this. (HAPPENED ONLY ONCE) (The chances of getting this bug is the same as catching a shiny pokémon)(Some users report this is due to the Music Player bug)
- Headphonejack Bug: Contacts detect headphone still inside after submerged in water, to solve this issue: "There are 4 contacts in the jack hole. You have to touch and slightly straighten out them by needle. But first let the water to dry in the hole".
Well, Ultimately, this is to see if samsung can create the next update, fixing these issues...

These two are caused by the Music app having a memory leak...
Didn't had any issues taking pictures yet, overall I'm a happy camper.

Tried it on two different devices and other users have had same results. Having a 64GB memory card causes the phone to take longer/lag to "wake up".
I have not tried a 128GB, but my 32GB is not as laggy. Best results is no memory card at all.

There are 4 contacts in the jack hole. You have to touch and slightly straighten out them by needle. But first let the water to dry in the hole.

How often does this happen?
Did you listen to music via Sammy's music player before this happened?
How much battery did you have when it happened?

On one day it happens like 4 times.
Sometimes this happens and I haven't been using the music player.
Sometimes 20% or even 85% always different.
When this happens there were some times the phone rebooted.
when I get free time I will reset to default and see if it gets fixed.

I've got some kind of unresponsive buttons bug. Btw my version is G900F.
So, when i tried to woke it up, it worked, fingerprint unlock too but then, screen nor capacitive buttons were responding. All another buttons was and screen not. After 30 seconds it's fixed itself.
Only bug I have is that the fingerprint scanner occasionally stops working completely on the lockscreen (the animation will stop and all I can do is turn screen on/off with lock button until I can restart).
This occured on multiple firmwares, although perhaps xposed might be the culprit.

I can confirm this as well. It is quite frequent and very annoying. Whenever I receive any notification, I see the led blinking. I look to turn the phone on by the power button or home button, but only the capacitive LEDs light up and screen goes blank. At times I have had to wait for more than 30 seconds to get it back working or worst case I had to pull the battery and restart.
Very annoying bug since Kitkat. I now have the lollipop version installed (XXU1BOAD) in the hope that this dreadful issue is fixed.
Unfortunately it didn't. Samdung made this phone ****ty with the in house exynos processor. Please suggest some fix for this if anyone finds it.
