Hi, after using my droid 3 for less than a week, I turned it on one time, and it bypassed the lock screen. I see it for a split second, then it goes away w/out me doing anything. This is not good, like if it turns on in my pocket, I'll be doing who know what on my phone... please help as soon as you can. Thanks!
Same issue with mine. I can generally get it to bypass the lockscreen on purpose if I do something weird, like unlock it right after I open the keyboard or play with the volume buttons.
Mine did this so I did a factory reset and I've not had that issue again since. Its been a week.

Does anyone know how to fix w/out a factory reset?
I fixed the problem by changing the value of the Security Lock Timer in Settings > Location & Security
Today this random notification popped up on my phone and i wanted to know if it was legit and not some malicious app or anything like that. A screen shot is attached.
I long pressed the notification and pressed app info and i took me to the dialer. I dont know if that is of importance.

I have never seen this extension pop-up, I would say its mostly likely spam or advert. I would download Airpush Detector from the android market and see what is says. I have included a link for you too. Hope this helps. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brosmike.airpushdetector&feature=nav_result
I had this about a week ago too. I haven't seen it since...

Me too. Popped up a few weeks ago. Then went away.
Today its back
Can you both list the apps you have installed? I will download the same apps and try and troubleshoot for you. Thanks

Try and boot the phone in safe mode (switch the phone off, switch on normally but when the screen lights up, press and hold volume down until booted). This will prevent any 3rd party apps from starting. Then see if you get the notification still.

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.
Every time I call somebody my phone would turn off the screen automatically it would still call them so I have to turn it back on by pressing the power button to use the phone again but with my old phone it had this thing called proximity sensor where it would turn off the screen when I put it up to my ear
Is there a setting like that on the note 4? I searched like on my other phone I have to open the phone app and then call settings but on this one it just settings and looked but cant find anything

I know you're trying to help but I don't think you understand what I am looking for and trying to do....
I am looking for an option either the exact option name as of my other phone or a similar one
to not automatically turn off the screen right as soon as I press the call button and only turn off the screen when I put it up to my ear
The exact option name on my other phones is “Turn on proximity sensor”
I have looked in the phone settings I found nothing saying that but now you're saying you tried it and works? What did you do? What are you talking about?...
Sent from my SM-T210R using XDA Free mobile app
I cant find the option but mine is doing it by default yes. so i think you have a bad sensor

So you're saying yours stays on when placing a call? But when you put it up to your face it turns off?
Edit: now my screen doesn't even turn off anymore it stays on even tried putting it up to my ear and it still stays on... I have to deal with this tomorrow...

That is how the phone works. You need to go back to stock with Odin. Root then try. Something might of got messed up in your flash. Also make sure no mods are turned on.

Thanks but figured it out! (I'm a... something haha)
The problem with the phone not turning off at all while making a call anymore was because I had head phones in I took those off and it turned off (why it doesn't turn off when you put it up to your ear when you have headphones beats me...)
Now for my original problem I totally spaced and just figured out a few mins ago but I have like a temp screen protector over the whole device and its covering up all the sensors and front facing camera so I took that off and the proximity sensor feature works now lol so thanks guys for replying haha

Has anyone had any power button issues? Or heard of anything similar.
Suddenly found that the power button was completely unresponsive, in that it wouldn't wake the sleeping device, fortunately I'd enabled volume buttons to wake, once device was awake, power button still did nothing, so I couldn't get to access reboot menu, so installed Franco's reboot application, rebooted, and it's working absolutely fine again? As if nothing was ever wrong, makes me suspect a software rather than hardware related problem.
Strange? Familiar? Can anyone relate?
I've had many previous, non nexus devices which suffered from dead power button, but nothing of late, plus the device is only weeks old.
I'm running latest Chroma build (as per sig) so asop.

Not exactly experiencing the same problem, but I've been having this odd power-button issue since today. If I leave my phone locked/screen off for about 5 minutes, it does not respond to a press of the power button. The weird thing is, it does respond after exactly 3 presses, every time. It's a non-issue when Smart Unlock is engaged on my home wifi-network. On 5.0.1. Chroma, haven't updated it in a week or two.

Happened again, dead power button, woke by volume buttons, reboot, works fine again.
So this isn't intermittent, in that when it fails it won't work again until restart, which says to me software.
I'm now using this thread as log. To see if RMA necessary.

Do you have a screen protector covering the sensor? If so that's probably the issue, disable ambient display and see if you can reproduce the problem.

No screen cover, just a ringke slim cover. But I don't think that covers the sensors.

actually i encountered this issue even after a reboot...
but most of the time it would go away.. i really wonder why is this so.. my power button is confirm working fine because it allows me to do a force reboot (by holding on to the powerbutton for like 5-7 secs).
using 31/3 chroma.. didnt experience this from stock or terminus rom..
have you all tried a clean install?

I would get this issue on Chroma if I had enabled the option Display--Ambient Display--Overwrite Value.
See if thats enabled, and if so, try with it disabled for awhile.

I was clean install on 5.1 but not since, although did import apps and data from TB not that it should impact it at all. Only ever run Chroma, jumped straight to it after initial unlock.
Fortunately volume keys always wake - so far.
Let me know how you get on - in this thread.
If I find it continues to happen then I'll consider clean install and then maybe even a replacement device.
Everything was fine after last reboot.
Immediately after plug in into charger, the power button stop working. First time experiencing this. Able to try this to guys?
Edit: I toggled 2 things.. Enabled / disabled ambient display overwrite defaults and screen on when plug / unplug charger..
Power button is working again without any restart.. @githyanki @ben_pyett
