oh man, where do i begin? i decided to root my phone by watching one of the videos on youtube and everything went well, got the congrats, phone is rooted prompt. turned my phone off and let it charge overnight, when i turned on my phone,it operated as normal but then when the screen went off and i hit the power button to get the screen back on, the phone would not respond. i had to pull the battery and power it back on. this happens repeatedly.
and now i discover that i can't get on the market as it says there's no connection either on 3g or wifi.
does anyone have any idea of what i've done? is there a solution to this ?
Need detailed information of everything you did and used for the root process.

Hi there, I have this problem; my AT&T GS4 does not use the deep sleep state. I have made some research, and from what I understood, this problem has to be a result of any program that keeps triggering the phone to get awake.
So, I have the phone unlocked, rooted and ALL the sensors off, expect from gsm signal. With titanium back I have uninstalled the programs that I´ll never gonna use (mostly AT&T bloadware) and frozen the ones that I don’t want to use right know, but maybe by deleting them I would get into a problem (like S-Voice) or just because some day I would like to give them a try. Finally, there are the programs that I would like to keep, but I don’t want to let them make any cpu use while I am not using them. I used an application called Greenyfi, a good example of why this program is the best for the last propose, is the use of programs like google maps, in where I do want to use it, but, just when I open the app. Also, I used the app “Autostarts” to prevent applications to start after some events (like startup, state change, etc..)
With all that been said, I am steel not getting deep sleep, in any situation. I´am not saying that my battery life is bad, I think I can get easily 4-5 screen time use. But, by not getting into deep sleep, the phone is allways using the cpu at 384mhz, so the battery goes down in a range of 1.5 to 2 % per hour (10 hours of no use and 20% less battery).
SO, for you to see the problem better. I did a little experiment. Restart the phone, put it into flight mode and let it “sleep” for the night, the results are attached.
PD: Whatsapp isn’t the problem; I can froze it and still 0% deep sleep.
PD2: Sorry for the language, I forgot to change it.
Get BetterBatteryStats app. It'll tell you what's keeping your phone awake. Look for partial wake locks.

ok, I did it, and BBS says that in partial wakelocks there is no major problem (20seg out of 1 hour the worst app). BUT, in kernel wakelocks, shows that "MSM_HSIC_HOST", is using the exact amount of time since the phone was turned on (1 hour). So, it has to be this. I´ve reading a huge thread of many people having a similar problem (mmsm_hsic_host been the process that wakes the phone most, but not using ALL the time, but considerable time (between 50% to 10). I ‘keep reading until I found a solution.

Bro! I am so trying to get my s4 to not go into deep deep sleep, to be able to have a switch or click here button to be able to toggle that option would be the way for me to continue to use unlimited 4g tether because i was told to use hotspot vpn shield to prevent tim lee mobile from sniffing my data to see if i were tethering ! Although the vpn just told me that the application goes in to deep sleep (aka it turns off!) That's right folks the application turns off without you knowing until it's too late, so let see where to go from here. ??

Keep it plugged in and in developer options click stay awake and it should stay on when plugged in.

Yes if you have developer mode to stay awake while plugged in and want to turn the screen off at any point just hit the power button to lock/shutoff the screen.

well the hotspot shield vpn by anchors inc. makes thier app shut down when the phone goes into standby said the tech guy today because it still shut off.
so i suppose i need to prevent standby
ok i got to the bottom of this , hotspot shield vpn by anchors inc.are liars , the tether app auto prevents standby and i also i enabled the developer stay awake optiion. it turns out the application will turn off when no data is being sent for sometime and i have a feeling that it is in their favor for whatever reason otherwise the app would have an option to not shut off
now i was looking into getting termenal_ide to ping google every so often say every 3 or 5 minutes ,
i ran it and it was pinging like a mad man , more then once per second , i though i might get blacklisted for a false ddos
Hi
I'm currently having a problem with my S4 that is driving me mad.
Ever since I got the phone I've had a bit of a problem with the WiFi connection. I've flashed a few kernels and some seems to help the problem more than others but it's still there.
What happens is the phone connects to WiFi no problems. Then maybe after a few minutes of use the phone won't give me any data. If I search a Web page it just hangs and then says unable to display web page. I then have to knock the WiFi off and back and and it cures the problem temporarily.
Sometimes the WiFi connection can be fine and last a few hours without hanging. Other times it can last a few minutes. The WiFi icon always remains on the screen and the arrows act as if data is getting processed but nothing ever happens. The odd time it will also kick itself off the WiFi and reconnect.
It's driving me mad having to constantly knock it on and off. I'm missing WhatsApp messages for hours because of it also.
Is it a common problem? If not the phone
is still under warranty so I will have to send it back but then that's me phone less for god knows how long
Any help would be great.

if you are rooted, flash this http://www.adrive.com/public/8DJWtV/WifiFix.zip
its a fix that sorted out my wifi problems
I think you should revert back to the latest stock and reset your modem. There might be some fancy settings in your modem software that need to be turned off. I read that somewhere but can't remember which ones. Just search on here.:cyclops:
Hi guys, sorry I've just seen the replies and thank you for taking the time
I shall have a blast at both your solutions and report back.
Thank you again
Well I tried the WiFi fix but that hasn't cured my problem. Today I will flash to stock rom and then re-root and see if that makes a difference. If not its off for repair under warranty and the old Nokia 8210 will be coming out of retirement for a few days lol

Hi jehbrian.
I've never heard of this fix but I'm willing to give it a go (whats the worst that can happen lol).
Done the above and indeed you get to a point where Wifi power saving mode is on. I've knocked it off and will see how I get on in the next couple of days. It does make sense that the power saving mode could be killing the Wifi every now and again.
Thanks for the tip and have a pleasant day :fingers-crossed:
I had tried that one. It spends about 10% more battery.

Does it?
Surely there must be something else that can compensate for this loss if it means the Wifi actually works. GPS? Bluetooth? Screen brightness?
My phone is on my dock so can't verify the loss of battery.

Which apps do u have installed on your Nexus? I saw the freezing issue with touch control. If U had no apps it could have just been a bad flash
Have you got any overclocking apps?

I have been dealing with this for a while. It has made me late to work since I use my phone as my alarm and the alarm does not go off when this occurs. I've tried everything. Toggled daydream mode to ensure it was off, done a factory reset and installed no apps, done a full factory image flash to make sure there was no issue with the system files, tried a different charger, tried not charging, etc... it still occurs about once a week. I plan to call Google to ask if this is a warranty issue.

Download and install Safe Charge from Google Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sash.sodeliminator. Open Safe Charge after installing the app and click the Enable Safe Charge check box. The developer has an explanation at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226698 of how his app prevents the Nexus from entering deep sleep while the phone is plugged in. I installed his app after experiencing two sleep of death episodes in my first week with the Nexus and have not had one since.
I tracked it down that it only happens when wifi is enabled. When it's not enabled the phone doesn't freeze.
Try disabling location access? Wifi might have connection with that. No harm trying right?
Wifi on at night isn't good for human deep sleep anyway so I off it.
I've googled and searched on xda but haven't been able to find much. So at night when I place my phone on the charger ask is good until it is completely charged.
The screen pops up telling me that I now have full charge and to disconnect charger. Bad thing is.....it doesn't go away..!!! Now I'm left with the screen lighting up the entire bedroom in the middle of the night.
Now this would bother me much but my girlfriend is now waking me err up in the middle of the night asking me to turn my screen off.
Please help!!!

Go into Settings>Developer Options (if you have it enabled) and look at the "Stay Awake" option. Make sure it is unchecked. If it is checked, the screen will stay on when it is plugged in unless you manually turn it off. I am guessing this is checked for you and is why the screen stays on.

Well it looks like I may have found a solution to my problem. Found an app called Batter Charged Silencer. Not in the Google play store. Will try it tonight and see what happens.

Found a solution! PLEASE READ IN FULL
Hey man. I have a Note 3 and have the same problem. As you've probably discovered by now, the Battery Charged Silencer app does not work for our newer devices. In searching for alternatives, I found apps that provide an alarm for when the battery is fully charged. This was NOT what I had wanted, as I just wanted my light to go off when charged, but I figured this the best alternative (hear the alarm, unplug). HOWEVER, I discovered that one app in specific DOES NOT WORK AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO, and, because of this, my phone never lights up when fully charged!!! Go to the play store and get the free NEOADN FULL ALARM. I launched it once, disabled the notification bar selection because I didn't want that (so maybe do this just in case, and also leave the discharged amount option alone), picked a sound, and nothing mattered cause it never worked, never came on, and neither did my screen! One of the reviewers of this app said the app was crap cause it had to be launched each time to work. Maybe that's why it "works" for me, cause I activated it but then held my home button down and closed all apps (not thinking) and then realized it was a blessing! Just install, maybe configure how I said if needed, close your apps, and never worry about it again! (And don't ever update the app just in case they "fix" it). Hope this helps, let me know via email: [email protected]

Hi,
My nexus player sometimes just blanks out. Like when I switch to the HDMI input, there will be a no signal sign. Is this because it went to sleep or something? I am not able to bring it up again. Only way is to turn off the plug and switch on again, then it works fine till I dun touch it again for a few hours and it happens again. There are times when, even though I left an app running over night and switch off the TV when I switch on the TV in the morning, it shows exactly where I left off. So I am not exactly sure what is going on.
Anyone has experienced something like this?
Thanks.
This happened to me yesterday had to unplug, but today I kept hitting the remote buttons and it eventually came back from sleep or whatever you wanna call it.

I'm experiencing the same and I've just posted a new thread about that.
On my TV the image goes blank for few seconds then return back without any operation from me.
I've the 5.1.1 non root on my device and I'm using the hdmi cable I was using on a win without any issue.
The input port in the TV is the same I was using with a Chromecast.
