Just randomally goes to lock screen? Even when using the device I have my screen timeout for two mins but this random ally happens sometime twice less then a minute.

I believe I found out what's causing it.. lol I am wearing a magnetic ring and when I touch near the bottom left on the back it turns the display off weird?

So apparently its supossed to do that with magnets like in a case but works with my ring kinda cool.

Had the same problem. Used to fold the front of my case behind the tablet to use Kindle app for example then realised the magnets were causing the screen to lock. Was driving me nuts for a while and I was all ready to return the tablet to the store. All's well now though :good:

Hey guys I was just wondering if my n7 case which has a magnetic lid which automatically powers on my nexus after opening it is actusllty bad for the nexus in any way? Do the magnets mess with the hardware at all?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Considering the functionality is built into the 7, and the magnet is very weak, no it won't cause any harm. I've been using one of these cases since I got my 7. With no lockscreen enabled it makes things very convenient, just open and go! :thumbup:

Asus built a magnet inside the tab. Magnets only really affected the old platter hard drives. No worries.

this is right, one end of the magnet is build into the device, as long as you buy the accessories from appropriate vendors, then there is nothing to worry about.
Is anyone else having a weird hollow spring noise coming from their phone? Its audible when tapping the screen. Did i get a lemon or is this normal, it has been driving me insane.

im pretty sure its just the vibration mechanism. My s2 and s3 did this too.
Mine does this I believe when I pick the phone when screen is off to let me know I have notifications.

It isn't a vibration, it is more like something is loose inside the phone that makes a buzz when I tap on the screen.
That's just how the phone is built. Like if I smack it against my hand it'll feel like it's kinda vibrating. It's not an issue.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Correct. that is the vibration mechanism you are hearing/feeling.
I think it is kind of weird, but that is what it is.

Happens to me as well, figured it was nothing to worry about.

Didn't do it on my black s4 but does on my white s4.

Go into developer options and enable "Show touches."
Oddly enough, even when the screen seems unresponsive the touches still show up. To me that says there is a software not hardware issue as the system does see and report the touches.
Anyone else? Any thoughts on my analysis of that information?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
As soon as I post this the touches also start disappearing. Of course.

One last addition: I get dead spots when the tablet is laying on my bed, but if I pick it up with on hand it catches the touches. My old Dell latitude had and issue similar to this... it was a grounding problem if I recall correctly.

Hi everyone I would like ask to the people who uses a flip cover what app do you use for locking and unlocking just with opening and closing the cover of the screen. Since I just got my flip cover I downloaded an app called "Simple Cover Lock" but I just saw the problem of battery drain and it really kills my battery or at least it seems like that.

I used the same app with my flip and the battery was poor. It's probably too difficult to improve due to the sensor/app being a wake lock.

Even I use a Flip cover. I use the inbuilt setting(Goto sleep in quick settings) to lock the phone and to unlock the phone I use volume waker built in feature..
Touch to wake is what I used on 4.2.2 but on 4.3 I can't use it, kernel issues(unsupported for a few)
Try out "awesome on off" app. It uses proximity sensor to turn screen off and you can use it for flip covers

I use proximity screen off, I purchased the full app to get more features

As some of you noticed the lg g2 came with a free quick window case. Which I personally really really like. Just when the flap goes over the screen. It never stays on the screen... Its always raised. So its not stable and it can turn on the device by accident. Just wanted to know if anyone is having same issues or have a solution ( if you know what I am on about anyway)

same issue here
Mine didn't come with the case...

No free case here. But then again att likes to repackage their phones and take out all the extra goodies a phone would normally come with.

You have to break it in. It takes about a week or so.

After about a month, it's still a bit raised for me. I was hoping it'd be magnetized or weighted.
It's nice to see i'm not the only one with this problem, even though it is a pretty minor issue to me anyway, it is REALLY annoying :/
you would of though they would have put a magnet on it or something.
Yes it will work after you open and closer it about 100 times. I also layed a book on mine eventually it works as intended
