[Q] Hardware key lights turn on when screen off - LG Optimus 4X HD

Hi,
I've been using the stable version of CM 10.1.3 since Christmas and have experienced no issues whatsoever, it's worked flawlessly...until today. I woke up this morning to find my phone charging as I had left it, but the hardware lights were turned on. Thinking it was odd, I turned the screen on then off again and the lights turned back off as they should. When I came back after breakfast however, they were on again! This has been happening all day; I'd check my phone and find that the lights had turned on. I can't seem to find any pattern (like always 2 minutes after screen off) and it doesn't even happen all the time - I left it for half an hour and they didn't turn on, but the next time I turned off the screen they turned on again after a few minutes.
Has anyone else experienced this issue and, if so, how did you fix it? I haven't yet done a factory reset as I was hoping someone else would have a good fix that doesn't mean I have to reconfigure everything.
I've also noted signal dropping a lot today, but after turning the phone off and reinserting the SIM card it seems to be back for good (well, an hour at least). Could this be related?
Any help would be great

This was really strange. The day after making this post I did a factory reset, which didn't help so I flashed a 4.4.2 Vanir Nightly. After a while this issue developed again on there, so I decided to change to official CM 11. The issue continued for an afternoon, but overnight it fixed itself - I haven't dropped signal or had the light issue for a few days now. I'd still like to know what the issue was though in case it happens again! Here's hoping yours fixes itself too

AT&T Tilt just shuts off?

I have a tilt and for some reason the last couple of days it will just turn its self off. It has done it twice while I was in the middle of a call. Any know what could be causing this. ATT stock ROM... Second one already exchanged one with same problem, No Software installed....
Me too! I have the same issue. I tried to reset Tilt (from Setting options) and it did not solve the problem. I am seeking ways to solve this issue before I have to call ATT.
Please Help!!!
this started happening to me about 1 month ago, it's progressively gotten worse (phone turns off after 2min call even with full battery). At first I thought maybe the phone was overheating because immediately turning the phone back on after it shut-off during a call the phone would get half way through booting and then turn off again.
Luckily my phone is under warranty for another couple weeks (cutting it pretty close!) I called att and they think it's a battery problem. they sent me a new one... I just got it today. Going to do some heavy use and see if I can get it to turn off.
keep ya posted.
charged the new battery completely and then ran it all the way down testing it with phone calls / internet surfing / downloads... no crash or power off. looks like the battery was the problem.

Touchscreen Issues are driving me CRAZY! Im desperate!

Hey you guys, ive been using my N1 for about 10 months now, and lately its been a headache because I've been facing weird touch issues since about 7 months... and its getting worse every day...
Initially I thought that this problem was caused because I installed the HTC_IME keyboard that can be found here, I uninstalled it and the problem dissapeared but just for some weeks untill a few days ago, I installed the "gingerbread keyboard" and my problem reappeared, I have tried everything, wiped, flashed, wiping the KB data... and this issue is still there...
Sometimes Im writing and when I press (for example) the "E" button the phone puts hjk.. its practically impossible to write an sms or in gtalk, because when i write the nex letter "X" (for example) the phone puts yui, so instead of ex it appears hjkyui...
Im also facing the thing that you can see in the minute 2:09 of This Video (as far I know, every nexus one does this).
One thing that i noticed is that this issue started when i flashed my first Cyano rom! (I think).
This happens 6-8 times every day, i have to turn off the screen and turn it on again, but sometimes neither this solve the problem!
Is there a way to calibrate my screen? or any app to check if something is wrong?
Im begging for your help, Its very difficult to sell this phone in my country couse everybody uses blackberry... and i dont have the money to change it... Im using last nightlie build (295).
try a different rom... we all have the same touch screens so you problems cannot be any different than anyone elses... the biggest thing i have noticed is the problem starts when you rotate the phone alot
Ill try another rom tomorrow!
any other suggestions?
I have sometimes the keboard problem like yours it's rare. so far as I know you can't fix the touch problems it is there and will be forever. when typing sometime you can touch the screen with the inside of your hand and everything goes wrong then.
if you really having issues when typing you can turn off the screen and back on most of the time it acts normal again.

no i don't have that much, really maybe once a week or two.
Maybe your digitizer is broken. i have my nexus now for a year and never had that much problems with the touch screen.I only notice that the multi touch isn't good when playing games on it.
Im using my keyboard without the prediction and since yesterday I have not had any touch issue.
Ill continue using it that way and see how it goes!
Please keep us updated on the progress. I also have this issue. Uninstalled HTC_IME and replaced by SmartKeyboard Pro which solved the issue for a while but recently I have the issue again. Not too often but it indeed is annoying... Would love to see some ultimate solution to this because other than that I am very happy with Nexus.
PS using official OTA ROM (2.2.1 for now)

It only happens to me about once or twice a week for the last year. It happens more often than not immediately after plugging in the charger.
Of course I use the day lights out of my phone, 2 charges a day with 6 hours of screen on time a day.

Well thats odd, each of us are facing different beginnings of this annoying issue!
I've noticed it happens whenever the phone gets hot, usually when charging via an AC adapter.

well, just for you to know, yesterday I chatted with my GF for like an hour and a half with it connected to the charger and not happened to me, im starting to think that this is caused by the auto complete option (which is odd too)
after 2 days of not having any issue, my touch went crazy again, but just a little, I was not charging it, it had the autocomplete option unticked, and it was liying on my bed couse I texted a lot today with my GF.
i did not turned the screen off, I i forced it to write what i wanted it to write... then i left it again on my bed, it turned its screen off and later another message came and it was just fine...
Ill continue testing it like this couse this time the issue was very short.
Its the digitizer. Its a flaw in the N1. But Ive also had the same expierence with launcher pro.

Is there any reliable way to check if its the very source of my trouble?
Any suggestions?
It doesn't matter what app you are doing on the phone at that particular time. It's a hardware defect and just happens wherever you are at the moment.
I've had it happen on the main home screen, typing a text with the keyboard, browsing the web, anywhere. Just a quick sleep the screen resets it back to normal.

I know and understand that, the problem here is that its happening too often that its annoying...
Just to let you know, sometimes i cant even use my phone, and as you said "Just a quick sleep the screen resets it back to normal" ive done it and nothing is fixed, i even wiped to factory settings and when the wipe is completed, my phone its still the same!
Try using another keyboard like swift key or something. You can calibrate the phone in your settings menu

[Q] Xperia T turning off when connected to network.

Help!! My XT has been running fine since I got it last September however since yesterday my device just shuts down when connected to network. Not a restart I actually have to physically turn it back. My device runs fine in airplane mode but as soon as I turn airplane mode off 3 seconds later off.
I am running a locked boot loader with non rooted 141 loaded through PCC so completely stock setup.
Is this looking like a hardware issue possibly or will reloading the stock firmware fix this?
Thanks

A quick update:
Issue sorted its self out in the evening, Managed to get conected to a network but only with data off, by the morning all was working fine again.
BUT
Later on saturday I had exactly the same cycle of issues again.
Device was fine all day yesterday YAY
However today has seen a return to being dead.
The difference being I didnt drive anywhere yesterday along with this rareity known as "British Summer". We have had some very warm days of recent and I am assuming the shutting down is a fail safe as the device gets too warm.
I guess there is nothing I can do but ride this out. Given we only have this sort of weather for about a week or so a year(if at all).
How do you guys who live in the more consistently warm climates cope with this device which clearly has heat issues?
Issue is getting much worse.
All last night it was out of action worrying as I use it as an alarm so ran it over night in airplane mode.
This morning working fine but now turns off everytime I send a text message.
I had an issue similar to this but it was whenever i connected to a particular WiFi network. For me changing the WiFi channel worked.

No issues linked to WiFi seen here just when connecting to network.
issues have only come up since I updated to 141. everyone says this one prevents these issues which I never saw on earlier softwares.
I have done a repair through PCC and will see how that goes now.
Ok, device is not fixed by the repair.
I am no longer having the device randomly shut down completely but the the device is restarting. It has happened 4 times in the last hour.
1- As soon as sent a text.
2- Moving some apps around in the draw
3- Sending another text
4- unlocking phone
Does anyone have any ideas at all what is wrong with my device. Running smoothly for so many months and then now phone is becoming completely unusable.
Not sure if related but issues dont seem to arise when on charge and issues today only started once batter got below 60%.

[Q] Xperia V: Weird behaviour with Cyanogenmod 10.2

Hey, I'm new here, I apologise in advance if I'm posting it at the wrong place. I also searched for similar issues, but found nothing quite like the symptoms I experience.
I have two new Xperia V phones. I unlocked both and installed Cyanogenmod 10.2 on them.
One of them is not doing any problems. The other has the following behaviour: every once in a while, when I leave it untouched for a few hours, it turns itself off. Well, I'm not sure if it's really turned off, but touching or holding the turn on button doesn't do anything. Only after I remove the battery and put it back in place can I turn the phone back on.
I noticed this behaviour happens regardless of whether I leave the phone charged (say, for the night) or it's just lying around for a few hours. I haven't been able to establish any problem pattern (like how much time of inactivity it takes before the problem kicks in).
Could anyone here help with me with my problem or give me pointers on how to further debug it?
Thanks in advance,
alteclanding
Did the problem exist when you run stock firmware?

No, but unfortunately I don't know how relevant it is, as I didn't really use the stock firmware for a long time -- I pretty much installed Cyanogenmod right away (after around 2 days).

Next time this happens, connect the phone to your computer and see if it's recognized with ADB. If it is, then it's on, which I think is most likely the case, I've seen it happen before; phone goes to sleep and can't wake back up, which doesn't make sense if you installed the exact same ROM on both phones, and are running the same apps, but at least you can check.
If it is on, you can pull a logcat and dmesg with ADB in order to see what's going on, and even reboot the phone without having to take out the battery.

I've been waiting for it to happen again, and today it happened. But connecting it to my computer, I wasn't able to recognise any device with adb. Nothing on lsusb, no kernel messages, phone is completely dead until I take out battery and put it back again.
Is there any way to check logs after the phone has rebooted? Any logs before the last 'crush'?
i've been using tsubasa 10.2 for months and gave me headache for only had 5hrs battery....
it's just only 4days ago i change to this rom using the backup zip option and having back my xperia v battery to more longer battery service...

[Q] Wi-Fi keeps turning itself on after latest update.

I received the latest update to 4.4.4 this past Wednesday. This is the update that included the HTC Eye Experience. The update went smooth and everything was all good until I was driving home from work. The phone randomly rebooted itself and ever since, I cannot get Wi-Fi to turn off. It stays off for approximately one minute and then turns right back on. I have searched this forum and others all day with no solution seeming to help. I also hard reset the phone earlier today but the problem persists. Anyone had this issue or have any solutions? Thank you in advance!

Do you Sprint Connection Optimizer running? That'll keep Wi-Fi on. See this http://support.sprint.com/support/t..._Optimizer_on_or_off_HTC_Onereg_M8/51761-1469

Thanks for responding! Its not Connections Optimizer. It has been turned off from day 1 but I did recheck and it is still off. My M8 is not rooted and completely stock. It worked great up until this update. I tried soft reset and hard reset to no avail. There is a message that pops up in the notification bar sometimes (Wi-Fi notification with a red triangle) that says setup has not been complete but nothing happens when I click on it and it goes away. Sprint is, of coarse, no help at all. They want to send me a new phone but I really don't think this is a hardware issue. Maybe a bad download?
