Hi... so recently I misplaced my phone. I have Avast installed on it and was texting the message to sound the alarm and nothing... because someone turned my phone off. So I was wondering... is there any app that requires a password to turn off the phone. Ive already googled and found nothing...
Even if there was, a dead battery would still turn off the phone.

Im aware of that... but while the battery lasted I could still track it.
If you're rooted and have Xposed framework installed, there is a module called advanced power menu, that restricts you, or other from power off the device without unlocking, unless however the theif knows the key combo for the simulated battery pull.

Try plugging it in without the battery, if nothing happens, your phone needs to get repaired.

It appears my camera LED stopped working. Does anyone know how to test it? I've tried a flashlight app but nothing happens.any ideas?

Did you try taking a picture or video with the light on in the settings? I also went into the hidden menu and did the Camera Test. That also should show you if the flash is working or not.
To access hidden menu you need to dial 3845#*925# or you can create a shortcut with Anycut.
Have you tried rebooting? That happened to me once when I was out and about and a reboot did the trick

If you know how to solder, you could always solder a new one on.

Must have been a software glitch. After a factory test to fix another problem it works fine now.
Thank you for trying to help

Just purchased the black HTC one. The mobile data hardly works. It's on and off. The 3g icon will appear, but when I try to use an app that requires data, the icon disappears. The WiFi, however, was working fine.
I took it back to the sprint store and they noticed the same issue. They replaced my black HTC one, with another new black HTC one. Same problem was occurring.
Mind you, my friend bought the silver HTC one a week ago and his phone was not having that problem. Even when I was testing them side by side.
What can I do now?

Take it to the store once again.
Do a PRL and Profile update. ( Settings > System Updates )
If that doesn't fix it, type in ##SCRTN# in the dial pad. This will just reset the provisional data, nothing else.

My silver was doing that at first but after a hard reset and a ruu flash it stopped
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium
mines does the same with 4g. It says I have it and if i pick up the phone and use it 4g will work for about 30 seconds, then it switches back to 3g, which on compared to verizon's 3g is so utterly slow its not even usable.

You need your msl first. Do ##786# follow prompts. After I let the reset go through and the phone was coming on I held the power button till the phone shut off. Then booted into bootloader and flashed the stock ruu located in the development section. My data has not been turning on and off since.

Mine did it to the first day, it stopped within 24hrs
When I press on the back button, or when I long-click on the home button, my phone doesn't vibrate anymore. I have vibration enabled in settings. Is anyone else having this issue?

Does it still vibrate when you receive a call or a text message?

Was your battery low? This phone automatically does power saving mode after 20% I believe.
My battery wasn't low. My phone vibrates when called. This is very strange. Any other solutions?

Are you sure that hectic feedback is still checked in settings-device-sound under screen lock sound
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yes, it was always checked. Something funny just happened. I was browsing through settings - not the sound settings - and suddenly noticed the vibration is back.

You seem to be having a huge number of problems. I haven't seen anyone else post this many problems. Maybe starting over from an original unrooted mi9 might correct all of your problems. Not trying to offend. Just making an observation. Good luck.

After charging your phone doesn't automatically turn off Power Saving mode. Pull down the drawer and make sure it isn't checked.
Lost vibration again. This is very frustrating. Does anyone know what's going on?

I noticed that my power saving mode was on, which disabled the vibration. I disabled the power saving mode and the vibration is back.

You guys find the solution ! That is right, just a setting problem - power saving mode should be disabled. Then, my phone vibrating function is normal, thanks!:good:

Not to be a jerk but this should have been posted in Q&A section. But anyhow it sounds lije your proximity sensor may be bad. Open your phone app and press menu button to access settings if you cant figure it out I would just backup all the data with Kies 3 or whatever and do a factory reset

Haven't tried a reset, bbut download this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tigermonster.proxfinder and am getting readings for 0 and 8cm (no intermediate) as well as time covered.
So not really sure what to do next. Reset might be only way.

Try this:
Go to- Settings
My device
Call
Turn off screen during calls.
There should be a check next to it. Try turning it off & on again.
Be aware things change if you're using bluetooth...
Hope this helps.

OK thanks trying this now. I've un-ticked rebooted and will re enable then reboot again.
Ok done no joy, will hard resetting the device really work its a pain to set it backup again

Ok thought i would try something after reading elsewhere that dust can effect it quite easily. I have an otterbox defender. Guess what, no problems at all when phone is naked.
Case closed! Ill just have to "deal with it" as they say!

That sounds like your case was blocking the proximity sensor on the front of your device
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using xda app-developers app
Yup thats what i discovered. It doesnt directly block it but the presence of the case close to the sensor must be creating some confusing for it.
