Black screen of death: Android 4.3 + Netflix - Nexus 4 General

Stock Google Android 4.3( JWR66V) and running the Netflix app at all will put your phone into a sleep of death (black screen, frozen phone). You don't even need to play a movie in Netflix, just launch the app once since rebooting the phone and it will happen. Netflix is aware of the issue, as can be seen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43950299#post43950299
edit: I don't have this issue with AOSP 4.3 roms. So it may already be fixed.
According to this thread there are many differences, especially for the kernel between JSS15J and JWR66V. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2382880

I keep getting a black screen of death after launching netflix (july 22nd, version 2.4.0 build 939) on Android 4.3 and letting the screen sleep. It's happened about 5x now to me. I didn't play a movie. Just displayed the page with the movie tiles and let phone site. Another time I exited netflix but it still happened after the screen went to sleep.
Can anyone who has the official 4.3 on their Nexus 4 and is a Netflix user check this out for me? I'd like to know if I'm a one-off case before I do a complete wipe and start fresh.

Same thing here. I've uninstalled the Netflix; no more hangups on Nexus 4.
Everything works fine on nexus 7

Just happened to me too. Had to press power and volume down to do anything, phone was completely unresponsive

K, thanks guys. I gave it one star in the play store with a description how to reproduce the bug. If enough people do it maybe they'll fix it soon.

Reread the OP. I didn't say to play a movie. In any even, wait till you put your phone down and the screen sleeps

Hmm maybe that's why I was getting sleep of death on 4.3 I had Netflix too, but I gave up and went back to CM :S

Just had black screen of dearh after exiting netflix.. Hope they fix it soon..

Yup... same thing.
I had it happened twice... once yesterday and again earlier today (I was checking for chromecast functionality).
I didn't know what caused it until I saw this thread.
I have just confirmed that this is also true with my phone.

Giving a app a one star rating doesn't get Netflix to fix your issue right away, dude. Just send them a email on how to reproduce instead of giving them one star.
Its what 'we' get for getting first dibs on Android 4.3 when <5% of the Android population isn't even on 4.3. Were the guinea pigs, plus 4.3 just came out yesterday. Its still very relatively new.

I'd have sent an email if I knew who to contact that would actually read it. The one star might get some attention if a number of people do it with the same complaint. At least that was my logic.

Surprisingly I just had a chat with Netflix support and the guy said his team is looking at it now. For some weird reason he asked if I'd be willing to change my password to my account for 48 hours.. not sure why, but I did it.
You are now chatting with: Chay
You: Hello
Netflix Chay: It's a wonderful day at Netflix! I'm Chay. How can I help you out?
You: How can I get info to the android netflix app team about a catastrophic bug in the latest version when running android 4.3?
Netflix Chay: Hmm... what exactly is going on? I would love to help you out!
You: It's been confirmed by a number of people already. Launching the netflix app on nexus 4 running android 4.3 will put the device in a sleep of death as soon as the screen sleeps. black screen, phone locked up.
You: basically all you have to do is run the app, and exit it. soon as the phone sleeps you get black screen of death. need to hold down power button to force power off
You: I started a thread here on XDA to ask others to try it. And anyone who has has reported the same results http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2377304
You: Android 4.3 has only been out a day, so more will notice soon
Netflix Chay: Whoa that is pretty intense! I would be more than happy to help you out. I can't click on links but I definitely want to make sure we figure this out.
You: k, if you just foward this info to the netflix app team so they can test and fix it it would be helpful.
You: Unless you have a Nexus 4 and have Android 4.3 on it to confirm it yourself, there's not much you can do but let them know
Netflix Chay: I actually reached out to my research team and they are taking a look into this right now for you! Thanks so much for reporting this. Just hang tight for a bit okay?
You: sure
Netflix Chay: Thanks a bunch!
You: I'll be really impressed if they confirm it and start working on a fix. I thought this was going to be a dead end (trying chat).
Netflix Chay: Would you mind telling me the brand of your Nexus? That would really help me out!
You: I had given it one star in the google play store, with how to reproduce. And hoped others in my thread would too to get it attention. Until someone suggested I contact netflix rather then rate it 1 star.
You: I have the Nexus 4
You: with the official version of Android 4.3 that was just released yesterday
You: Any Nexus 4's out there should be getting the OTA updates, probably soon, if they are on the official software. Or it can be downloaded from googles webpage and flashed manually if they don't want to wait.
You: Here's the page if you're interested and your dev team needs to update https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occamjwr66v
Netflix Chay: Would you mind changing your password to XXXXXXXXXXXXX for 48 hours please? That way my research team can take a better look into this and figure out what's going on.
You: I don't mind, but how will giving them access to my account help them?
Netflix Chay: I'm not entirely sure but my research team is going to try to recreate it on their device. Thanks so much for being so understanding. I really do appreciate it!
You: no problem. do you still need me to change my password?
Netflix Chay: Please, if you could change it to XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX just for the next 48 hours it would help us out so much.
You: okay sure.
You: it's done
Netflix Chay: Great! Thanks a bunch for reporting this issue. We'll do some digging and it get it all up and running in no time!
Netflix Chay: By chance, is there anything else I can help you with today?
You: nope, this was it
Netflix Chay: Sweet! Thanks for chatting in so I can help you out. Have a great day and enjoy your movies. And one more thing, if you wouldn’t mind, please stay online for a one-question survey.

Confirmed here too. Didn't happen before 4.3 with the new Netflix app.
I hope they fix it soon, trying to enjoy my new chromecast.

I just tried a test. launched Netflix, exit. Then force stopped Netflix. Pressed the power button to lock phone. Pressed it again, it let me unlock. Let it sit and sleep... sleep of death. So it happens even if the app isn't running, but was at least ran once that boot.
I've yet to find another app that will do this (thinking maybe it is a 4.3 bug). I tried some other video playing apps, plex, ect. But haven't found anything yet.

This is happening to me when Chromecasting. I have, however, successfully watched Netflix on my phone and closed the app without experiencing it.

Same issue here.

Here's the link to Netflix's support chat. Hit it up if you guys want to complain and let them know there's a decent amount of people that would like it fixed
https://contactus.netflix.com/help#startChat
I still don't understand why that guy asked me to change my password to one he gave me... Not like I am going to keep trying to use the app and lockup the phone. And I can't see how changing a password would enable them to get logs or debug info.. but I guess I'll leave it that way for one more day :silly:

Same here with bsod when pausing movie and letting phone sleep.

[APP] LG Socialite (Friendstream alternative..) [Updated:5/30]

I'm starting this thread so people can keep track of my progress in rebuilding this for the Eris (or any other HVGA Android device, for that matter..), and also as a source for the download, once I have it closer to done.
That said, here's the original proof of concept (running on my Eris w/ ZenEXP-Eris Rev7);

}
That was about an hour ago, I've come a long way in that hour and will update before I go to bed tonight with my progress. So far, I've got the thumbnails shrunk down about 50%, there are now two updates shown in the main view (possibly 3 by the time I'm done, not sure yet) and much more.
This was planned to be done tonight before I logged off, and what I have together now could easily be used but I've decided to put a little more heart into it as it's polishing up very nicely, so stay tuned for the final release (soon!). This project won't take long to complete, but I do ask that anyone interested in this please be patient for the time being.. I'm only human and it's getting late so I will need to sleep eventually
-mak
UPDATE:
Ok, here is where I'm at now;
I've got more to iron out, though! More than I originally thought, in fact.. the biggest of which is a bad gateway causing Facebook to not allow status updates (I'm pretty sure this is the result of yanking this from another build..).
For now, the widget works great other than the above, but the app needs updating. I'll hopefully get something out tomorrow or the next day
UPDATE [06/04/2010]:
On account of me sending my Eris back to Verizon in exchange for a Moto Droid under warranty, I no longer have a device appropriate for working on this modification, but I will make an attempt at it with emulator. For now, I'm releasing my "source" files for others to work with to better the project from here on out
Here is the "source" files (not actually source files, just decompiled apk files) (MD5: 2082711287C469AA361F14E64FA2B7D4)
Here is the apk with a working widget (less facebook, someone needs to figure out the SNG Server error. The error appears on the Droid as well) (MD5: 93E9C7F1C3B635E375DD4428D76F2F17)

It's possible for someone with more thorough knowledge of smali editing to do this, but I wouldn't know how to just yet. I did see some strings related to, if I remember correctly, flickr while editing the widget but they're not functional at this time as far as I know.
On another note, I've released my "source" files and the working apk in the first post. The app is sort of ugly but still functional for the most part, the widget is beautiful and works except for the Facebook SNG Server error, which I can confirm is present on my Moto Droid as well.
Enjoy, and I'm sorry I can't continue this project as extensively as I'd like. If anyone modifies anything please post back here so we can compare

I'm unable to install the app. I've used linda and astro file managers and tried adb push. I'm not sure if I'm using the wrong methods
adb remount
adb push Socialite_fixed.apk/system/app
Then it goes through this long list of things but the app is still not on my phone. Any help please

I see what happened, I uploaded the unsigned version. I'll upload the signed one in a minute.
edit: Signed version uploaded. Install through Astro. If you push to /system/app with adb you'll need to reboot your phone, and even then it's hit and miss and sometimes didn't show up for me.

AOSP roms = possible problems

I have been following most of the AOSP threads fairly closely to see people's experiences and I have seen a disturbing amount of people report bricked phones. The odd thing about it is that these bricks didn't occur during the process of flashing a rom. They all happened (or most of them at least) while trying to power on the phone after it was turned off or in deep sleep. Here are links to posts by DIFFERENT AOSP rom users who all experienced similar issues (one of these posts contain links to 3 other posts):

I personally have run Slim's rom for a good 4-5 hours w/o problems. However, I went back to Sense shortly thereafter. I'm not trying to cause some kind of panic but on the same hand I don't want to see people sitting around with a $500 desk ornament. Bottom line is we are responsible for what we do with our phones and as a result we should do as much research as possible before flashing anything. Look before you leap!
Edit: Here is an additional means to record your brick experience:

Yep just be careful guys the only warning I had to something strange happening was that my phone didn't charge at all when I turned it off (to try and charge it fast) it still charged while powered on however. But once it died that was it. Also no overclocking or system setting where really changed in my case.
Here's how I got a replacement went in and told them it wouldn't turn on and I myself at the time thought it was the battery so they said that could be it but again I wasnt to sure and neither where them. I ended up paying 50$ without tep

That's some messed up stuff.... You shouldn't have had to pay since it was a "hardware" issue. It should've been covered under the manufacturers warranty.

I know but whenever i've had a problem like that it's always been a free fix through sprint......
yeah I am in the same boat, I believe I was the first to report this. At first I thought it was just me and I passed it off as nothing. Since I've got my replacement I've watched people starting to trickle in with the same exact problem on AOSP I would definitely avoid flashing AOSP until the cause is narrowed down and solved if possible. As I said before it would be a damn shame not to run AOSP on this mighty device, but I have to stick with sense for now and hope that this problem is squashed soon.
Wow really? How upsetting. I'll have to keep an ear open. If there is any news regarding this issue please share
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
Has anyone on a NON AOSP rom run their battery down and had it die? Did it charge? I know on a few other phones it was actually the recovery that had this issue. I would try it myself but as I have my phone through work, replacing it is a bit more complicated.
I work for sprint and had a guy come in who bricked his phone. A simple relock of the bootloader and an ruu flash and bam phone was up and working fine. Is that not working for aosp bricks? I've personally haven't had any problems out of aosp roms

you are not able to relock the bootloader. we're talking total shut down, no power, no charge, no recovery, no bootloader, no fastboot adb devices, not a thing period point blank. i have the dead device still, and for the life of me cannot get it to do anything. I have been on my replacement for 2 weeks now running sense. hopefully the cause and solution are near.
Well... I was thinking of trying an AOSP ROM, but I guess I will hold of on that thought.

I'm with you on that
Until we get more kernel sources/reliable code out of HTC, playing with AOSP can be a dangerous game. And tbqh, it could well be OP's fault (not saying it is, but it can be). Flashing custom software of any kind is going to give your carrier/OEM an easy way out if anything goes wrong, which everyone really should keep in mind before making the jump.
What recovery are the "bricked" users running. TWRP or CWM?
Yeah I had my battery die completely on a sense Rom, but I was easily able to charge it and turn it back on 2 minutes later.
Sent from My Only "One"
Glad I'm doing a lot of reading before I make the jump back to HTC. Seems like the One is more of a pain in the ass to Develop (safely) for than the GS3. Looks like I'll be sticking to sense for a while.
For once in all of my android ownership, I'm not really pressed to switch to aosp so this isn't a huge deal for me. The phone is already blazing fast and I actually enjoy and use a lot of the features HTC has implemented into Sense 5. And HTC's browser is the smoothest I've ever used. I do hope someone figures out the problem though. Hate to see more people get bricked.

Up and running and so far so good the ROM is amazing especially with a Lollipop theme on. For some reason the camera likes to have a greenish overlay with the front camera and crashes using the denoise function will try 3rd party.
Tried Google camera and also has greenish effect on front camera which is weird

I guess it just doesn't play nice with my in-dorm light. College dorm lights aren't exactly of good quality lol. This is the only time I've seen it though since I don't usually run CM based ROMs. I'll just write it up as a CM problem on this device since we all know the camera doesn't operate the same. Guess this ROM is perfect then good job [emoji1].
If anyone has problems connecting to sprint service go to mobile network and under Access Point Names change it to one of the Sprint ones. It switched to boost on its own once but hasn't happened since.

go to settings/battery/ and on the top left conner you will see a battery just click on that and it will give you the options to pick your battery on the status bar
Just for u guys that are curious how battery life is, haven't been able to give a report on normal use since I start playing games on my phone and they destroy the battery on this device in general but I was using my phone for the passed hour or so without gaming and this is how it is so far. I'll try to limit myself tomorrow and only use my phone to browse the internet and Tapatalk but no games and I'll let u guys know how it turns out. So far looks very promising.

Holy crap. I usually only get around 4 to 5 hours of screen on time depending on the brightness even when only reddit/browsing. That is pretty awesome for 45 minutes of screen on time.
I might just have to flash this.
Been running this for almost a week now and am discovering it isn't tracking mobile data usage at all, only my wifi usage.
Is this a bug or some setting I overlooked?
Is there a specific radio that should be used with this rom? I keep losing data connectivity. I'll still be connected to the network and can make phone calls, but no 3g / lte data. I tried re-flashing the radio for the base I'm on, that has helped before when moving from sense or aosp roms but it didn't do anything.
I should note that data does work at first but after a half day or more sometimes it'll just be gone. I have not tried any other aosp roms lately, just this one.
It's very strange, it'll say connected via lte in the settings and show signal but no data....
I just restored a backup of a sense rom I did this morning and it's working fine.

[6/7][Trailblazer101] SBrowser Returns! w/ FingerPrint AutoComplete

Trailblazer101: SBrowser Returns! w/ FingerPrint AutoComplete
Hey Everyone! Now that we are officially rooted, time to have some fun! I'll start off with with this little package: It brings back the SBrowser, which has the ability to autocomplete fields with the tap of your finger(print)!
You'll have to flash this package with FlashFire, since we don't have a custom recovery yet. This doesn't trip knox, it still says "Official" within Download Mode :3
Once installed you should go to Settings -> Lock screen and security -> Fingerprint -> *enable* Web sign-in. NO that wasn't there before, I had to re-enable it
Now just test it out with Facebook-- log in, and it'll pop up a dialog asking if it should save the credentials. ***Make sure to click *use fingerprint* if that's what you wanna do!***
Developer Note: If you like my work, and want me to keep doing stuff for the S6 Edge, show that donation link in my profile to the left some love :3 Not a single person donated for my Quick Launch and Music Player Feeds, and honestly it's a little discouraging, when over 3,500 people downloaded my work. I'm not demanding money, and I'm still releasing stuff for free, but how much is up to you guys (time I spend working on my other job [I make my own hours] vs this). Every little bit helps, and would me much appreciated. I will also listen to your requests for features on my previous Feeds, and suggestions for upcoming ones!

Probably not, since the Edge Settings has settings for the Edge Screen, and that might freak the phone out. However, if you send me your SecSettings2 folder within priv-apps, I'll get it working for you/everyone else!
So does this only work for sbrowser? Thanks for all you do, I've never downloaded your apps, but if I do I will donate for sure. I'm a programmer as well, I know the countless hours it takes

Yeah, this is native support for the fingerprint reader, which I wanted to have and was upset that they took it out. So I got it back xD However if you want to be able to use your fingerprint for AutoComplete within other browsers I believe LastPass is, or is on its way towards being, able to do similar behavior. And thank you for the sentiment, even just that is appreciated. The community that can share for 'free', where the ones that have a few dollars to share to those who do provide services they use, is the best kind of community, that should be able to thrive here!
Where can I get flashfire? Thanks

I don't have a S6 on hand but there are plenty who would love this. There is a thread about the Stock Browser in the S6 forum but I don't think they have gotten the fingerprint auth working.

Here's the instructions, over here! : XDA Thread Link. Or you could just extract the zip, and put everything where it should be manually using adb or a root explorer, but make sure to set the permissions, then!

If you flashed my package for it, the one found here, it should definitely work! Note it will not be called 'SBrowser' in the Application Drawer, it'll be called 'Internet' with a globe-type icon. Also make sure to go through all the folders, because it may have automatically been put in one. Send me a PM if you still aren't having luck!

I believe its the only way until coc manage its resolution scaling differently. And even then...on android 5.0 to 5.1 they display differently. Looks better standard dpi on 5.1 than it did before
Damn my s2 is late version and I was reading they don't have root for it yet
Sent from my SM-T817T using Tapatalk
Yeah, resolution is a little messed up. But my main thing is the screen is way too sensitive.... when farming, trying to drop multiple troops at a time just makes the whole thing zoom in... it's not even playable because the screen touch is way too sensitive... it's obviously more than capable of running Clash.. I just don't know how to reduce the sensitivity... maybe get a plastic screen cover or something....
Ive heard people say that aswell i dont seem to have that problem as much my thing is it looks soooo bad now im leasing a tablet that i dont even use basically cuz of how horrible it looks i usually just play on the phone and until they come ojt with lte version root i dont really have any options
Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk
Ive had the same problem. Hoping for a solution soon but there is a work around. If you reboot your tablet and start COC it will properly scale in full resolution and it looks insane on this tablet (i have the 9.7). Sometimes you have to reboot more than once but usually once will do it. As long as you don't kill the app the proper resolution will stick. If you kill it in task manager or hit the back button until you get the 'Exit Clash' prompt it will revert to low rez the next time you launch it. Every now and then (seems like once a week or so for me) it will randomly revert back anyway. So weird. Then you reboot and you're good again. FYI switching users on the tablet (multi profile) will break this which really sucks for me cause i have multiple clash accounts. Anyway this solution has kept me at bay. Hope it helps others.

Hey good call on that this thing looks amazing now that's so weird though I don't understand why it would do that it obviously has the ability to look good so what's causing it to go low Def makes me wonder.

Hi. Do you have touch screen sensitivity issue where you think you have selected a troop but the touch does not get registered on tab s2 8.0? Tried hard reset, still no luck.
