Whoa now...

OK, so when did my phone start beeping when I rotate the screen. Like when it goes from portrait to landscape, it beeps. Never did that before... Ever

Haven't heard that sound but I did notice my phone now makes a sound when I turn off the screen, which I don't mind. It must've come built into the MF9 update, perhaps your new sound did as well.

Strange part is, I've been on mf9 since day one. This all started around 7pm or so today... After changing nothing at all. No settings changes or anything. Just really odd.

So getting rid of touch sounds gets rid of the beep. Anyone experiencing this like me? Makes the same beep as plugging in to usb/charger every time the screen goes from landscape to portrait.

That is probably the Screen lock sound option in the Sound menu.

Never heard of that one. Unless you have the screen touch sounds on and are somehow touching the screen when you are rotating it.

I've tried everything. Still does it while holding the case. If I had another camera other than the one on my phone, I'd make a video of it. Just happened out of nowhere yesterday.

Yeah that one is odd and has me stumped. Do you have usb debugging enabled? If so try turning it off and test real quick.

Looking for a new lock screen

Hey everyone,
I'm looking for a lock screen that will give me notifications but also security, I've tried lockerpro and really like it but there is no security with it and having in effect to unlock two screens (if I use my built in security) kinda defeats the object of having an alternative lock screen.
Can anyone help.
Many thanks.

You can use any 3rd party lockscreen with the stock one. The stock one has an option to have slide + security or just security. So you turn off slide on stock and have slide on your replacement screen and security from stock.

nexus 4 doesn't wake up from the power button

I have a problem with my nexus 4
I am using stock 4.4 latest one and I am rooted and using closed fw
The problem is when I wake up I found that the alarm doesn't wake me up and th e phone is like shutting down I think it's freezing on the black screen and I cannot open it from the power button and I have to long press the power button to shutdown it and press it again to power it on and I found a missed alarm I don't know if that from the KitKat or from the root or what actually I didn't had this experience on JB
So if I can solve this just let me know Guy's
thanks

What happen when you plug in charger in it , can u see anything on screen , try charging your battery externally with a external charger , it's always good idea to start with simple steps

What about a broken power button? I've replaced a bunch of them on sgh-t989, so what if it happened to the n4? I've been using mine ever since it was released in 2012 and there's no issues, but you never know... Just my first thought...
Also, the proximity sensor/headphone jack ribbon cable can be disconnected without affecting the usability of the phone, so i guess he could try doing that, if you say that it might need replacement of it.

Have u got chance to check proximity sensor , as other member suggested just remove sensor n check , it will even work without sensor but u may find your problem

4.4 will not boot with proximity sensor/headphone jack cable disconnected - n4 will not boot past boot logo ...

Rolf2 , is it a new question ? U should start your own thread

no
Power button is OK because I can power it off and on again from it and prox I think it's OK I don't know

mine will turn up later today but from the review I saw yesterday (video) the lockscreen did have a couple of widgets on it. There was a camera button bottom right and this particular review had the samsung tv app at the top of the lockscreen allowing him to adjust volume up and down and change channel.
Personally I don't have anything on my current S3 lockscreen other than the date and time but that's just me

All reviews I saw had a camera on the lock screen. Wtf!!! So angry

Sent from my SM-G900I using xda app-developers app

That sucks you can't even get the camera. I think I'd just turn off the lock screen at that point. You could also look into an app that puts shortcuts into the notification dropdown--I did this for a flashlight app because I missed having it in my quick settings on my last custom rom.

Indeed. I can't understand why they would take them away. Even my GS3 had this.

I have the same issue and spoke to samsung live chat and they said "Unfortunately the Australian models of the S5 do not have the feature where you can add a camera shortcut to the Lock Screen."
This sucks, ive tried using 3rd party apps and the shortcuts still wont work!
Im with vodafone AU

It's probably due to the CSC in Australia, this was an issues with other 4.x firmwares as well.
If someone is knox 0x1 already, maybe try flashing a different CSC from another region (maybe even a 4.3 to try it out)
