Strangely, my phone stopped responding to knock on to wake the screen. When you pressed the hardware power button to wake the screen would immediately close. It would take about 10-15 tries to unlock the screen in that split second before it closed. To troubleshoot I flashed back to factory and I still had the same issue after the phone was allowed to sleep just a few minutes. I took the OTA, same problem.
I was ready to box it up and swap out, but decided to try one other thing. I went to the screen off effect and changed it to Simple. Everything worked fine after that. I switched it back to retro tv and it would take many more tries to wake the screen. apparently its some kind of software bug. Thought I'd pass the info on to anyone else having similar issues.
Apparently root apps that play with system files trigger the bug too, like greenify. So the bug isn't tied to one screen effect, just switching to another fixes it until you play with system files via flashing or root apps. Hopefully it's something they fix in the next update.
It seems if you flash or change any system files, it reverts back to the retro tv effect and the issue repeats until change to another transition.
So the knock on feature is supposed to be more reliable if I do this?

If you are suffering from the same software bug, it works. If you flash a mod or do anything that does a "updating android" on reboot, it reverts back to the default screen effect and the knock on becomes unreliable. After a deep sleep you can't wake it with a knock most of the time. Strange but saved me a trip verizon hell for a swap.
Wow!!! I can totally confirm that this is working! Thank you so much... I was getting to the point that I didn't really use the knock on feature due to the flakiness of it... Now it works flawlessly!

Glad it helped man. I restored my recovery,reflashed stock and took the ota before i found the bug. lol Works as advertised now.
Im getting the same problem with mine, but the retro screen switch to simple isnt solving the problem. Tsking so many tries and not being able to knock on is making the phone unusable.
Any other suggestions or off to Verizon? Im within the 14 days...

Make sure the sensor area to the right of the FF camera is clean. If you have a screen protector over it, you might want to pull it off and clean the area really good. If that sensor is blocked or not working, it will do the same thing whether or not you change the screen off settings. Could be a bad sensor and you may need to swap it out.
Tried cleaning it, no luck. Seems like its hw related. Off to vzw I go.

Can confirm this. Disabling retro worked originally, but after rooting and Greenify it's back.
Do I have to flash to stock to fix now? Or will Greenify uninstall do the trick?

Well, I tested it myself. Uninstalling Greenify does indeed fix the knock-on issue.
A shame, as I really liked that app. Boo Verizon/LG. Boo.....
Damn! I was wrong.
Still having this bug, but only from deep sleep.
Incredibly annoying, but I really don't want to Re flash. Any ideas.
I'm dying here....

Greenify or any root program that modifys system files has the possibility of triggering the bug. In my personal testing, after you change the screen off to something different after installing Greenify, it stops. I'm guessing the core issue is with the front sensor that disables knock on. A hardware software combination. Strangely even after flashing back to stock doesn't fix the bug. First deep sleep and it will return until you change that setting in screen off.

Nothing seems to fully resolve this. Super annoyed I ever installed Greenify. Ugh.
I'm within my 14 days (I got it on Monday), but I purchased from letstalk (the $26 price mistake deal that lasted a few minutes). Does anybody know if I can just walk into Verizon to switch it out, or do I have to do the mail back, wait 5 days with no phone thing?
thanks
I've only replaced the phones I directly received from Verizon in person. Call Verizon and tell them you needed to swap a phone under the 14 days. They can look at your account and tell you if you can just swap it in person or if you need to return through the reseller.

In theory, Greenify may break such a feature like Knock-on, but its always recoverable. Simply de-greenify the app and manually launch it to restore everything to normal.
Please avoid greenifying any app with background functionality.
PS: Greenify actually never touch any system files.

Do you have setcpu or a OC kernal by any chance?
I am having this happen also... I have had to remove my battery three times today to reboot the phone.
I have set CPU installed, is that a bad idea?

did you wipe your SD cards when you flashed the new rom? I don't have this behavior but I did have FC's and such because of some files on the SD. I have NONE of this behavior. Something is wrong for you, nothing is wrong with JI2 and freezing/rebooting.

I used to have this problem all the time too whenever I tried to use the gps, but since I've applied the leaked update that problem has gone away. But it seems like you're experiencing the issue at more random times. Have you noticed any particular pattern? For example, whenever you try to play music in the background and read a website at the same time.

I haven't had this issue happen since I applied the flashable gps fix. Maybe it was an issue with an app that wanted to use GPS running in the background?

Mine has only frozen up once and it was at the end of a call screen turned off. I hit power and went to go unlock and it turned off again.. Would not turn back on but I know the phone was still on since I had apmobile enabled and it was still transmitting wifi connection. Oh I was using eugene's FrankenTwiz (underclocked to 400mhz)when it happened but same thing happened to my girlfriend and she had hybrid r3. Other than phone runs fine.
Ive had some odd reboots where I dont get a shutdown or boot animation or sounds, just freezes, goes black, keys light up, searching for signal boot process. Yesterday in maps trying to troubleshoot my gps. Stock rom,rooted, Ryan's lagfix.
Vibrant vibrating nicely now,Kthx!
Have the phone replaced. I had a phone that would randomly freeze and/or reboot. Nothing I did would fix it.
I talked to a T-mobile worker who had the same issue with one of the early demo-phones Samsung loaned to him. They just replaced his without every saying what the problem was.
I've been having this happen a lot lately myself, it happened to me before on stock ROM due to SetCPU, but now on the leaked ROM. I did not clean the SD card (internal or external), so will give that a shot when I have some time to copy files on/off the SD cards (one reason to dislike the internal SD is that I have to mount it to copy the files, ergh).

I can count on one hand the number of phone calls I've been on since I got the thing, but I haven't had it shut down on me any of those times.
I've had it happen every time when rooted and had apps. I went back to no apps and still had it happen. I went back to stock 2.3.1 via the nandroid around here and locked it back up, still doing it.
The only thing I didn't test was 2.3 vs 2.3.1 but I do believe it started happening to me, at least, when going to 2.3.1, now that I think about it.
I have this problem but rarely. It will reboot the phone show the nexus startup screen without the backlit LED. Is that whats happening to you?

did you root the phone or something ? if its still on stock firmware like how you bought it, then try to restore factory sittings, if its still doing that you then you have a I/O chip problem. and you will need to replace your phone.
thats what the HTC care told me when my HD2 used to have this issue

Switched from ciscogee's rom to normal deodexed rom.. then put trailblazers mods cause I never really checked what all it had. and as soon as the phone booted up from flashing that's when the 3g started acting funny. but it's all good now. and no one to blame. just my mistakes.
Just wondered, cause I've had some random odd things going on...wifi not scanning/connecting, notifications not working, weather not updating, apps that did work fine fc'ing, earlier today my soft keys disappeared... they still worked just couldn't see them. Some times the phone runs like a Ferrari, sometimes like a pinto. Rebooting seems to fix it, or jump to another problem. Its almost like sometimes things don't get loaded correctly at boot. Not bad enough to make the phone unusable, but does have me scratching my head sometimes.

Hmm.. that's odd. the only problems I had was that my lockscreen wasn't showing even after I locked it and the whole 3g issue. The lockscreen problem didn't bother me much but the 3g one did. both fix themselves on their own. Rebooting does work. but also when it's booting up it's best to wait and let everything load instead of using it right away. But aside from this don't worry much. These bugs and error will go away soon as we get closer to our goal.

Oh, I'm not complaining! It's still MUCH better than Verizon had it!

The lockscreen won't show until you toggle the "disable lockscreen" or whatever it's called on and off in TSM parts ---> lockscreen... it'd be a good idea to also choose a lockscreen too, and pick one you like
And I figured out awhile ago why we have some problems, including weather syncing, ticker sleep settings, unsaved options for social network options in ticker options, ticker time delay nut saving, etc etc... it's because there aren't proper permissions given to the dbdata/databases/com.android.settings/tt_prefs or something like that I managed to fix it, and I can release a quick patch that fixes it, I just didn't know anyone else was having the issues, haha

I noticed that my 3G will go out when I'm on wifi, however if wifi isn't connected to internet it will not automatically pick up the 3G. I would recommend if people continue to have problems look and see if toggling off wifi will help bring the network back online. Worked this problem and many others last night. Nearly "bricked" the unbrickable thankfully stayed calm and worked through each problem one at a time and soon will try and reflash CWM and then TB's mods for ec09.

Hello, I have been experiencing moments of "freezing" or unresponsiveness as well.
For me, it seemed to be due to chrome or using power saving mode. (People in another forum were blaming their droid maxxs freezing problem on chrome) I disabled chrome and disabled power saving mode.
Then I started using opera. I experienced another moment of unresponsiveness using opera without the power saving mode.
I was thinking back to the first times that it happened and it seemed to be paired to the wifi download and upload symbol being active in upload and download activity.
I know that correlation does not mean causation, but I think it is worth exploring if the network activity is causing it to somehow hang.
This bizzar occurance made me perform a factory wipe leading to another round of issues involving processing err_0000, but that is another story; sadly, it didn't even fix the issue.
OP, are you still experiencing the moments of unresponsiveness? If you are, have you noticed the events that are correlated with the event?
Has anybody else experienced this or found a remedy?
It could be one of the apps from the play store that is not playing nice with kitkat, but due to the multitude of other issues, I'd say it is a kitkat or touchwiz flaw.
Thanks for any help.

I had an issue with screen not responding sometimes .....I figured out it was due to the flip case (original by Samsung). Although lately I haven't experienced that either.

I made one short call. I don't talk on the phone that much. I mostly use it for Internet browsing, music, and instant messaging/texting. I'll update on Tuesday when I have a full day at school.
Keep in mind though that the n9005 is the lte version. I have a n900, the non lte international variant; our battery life may be different.

Even I experienced the same. My phone came with Kitkat installed. Freezing happens when a webpage is loading or the time i turn on Sync etc. strange thing is phone seems smooter when power save mode turned on.
I think it may be a problem that was not fixed until the March 31st 2014 KitKat build. I have been using Chrome heavily since I installed the most recent official rom; I have not experienced any lag or hanging system wide or in the browser. It reminds me of 4.3.
When I wiped and reinstalled the previous rom, I noticed the lag and unresponsiveness right away.
I'm going to use the browser heavily next week. If I have no issues, I think it may be safe to say that the bug was fixed in the latest kitkat with March 31st 2014 build date.
People with lag, do you have the lte variant or the regular SM-N900? I'm starting to think only the SM-N900 are being impacted by sour Sammy updates.
And if you guys wipe your phones, make sure to turn reactivation lock off because it could cause an error that will not recognize your real Sammy account and password. This phone has become stressful; I'm not updating it again lol

I just experienced another moment of unresponsiveness using the google search box within the chrome app running DNC4 :/ Going to try the latest Russian KitKat

Hey guys. I hate when I'm not able to figure things out on my own, but this one has me beat.
I recently discovered that my auto rotation has stopped working, I was on the latest AEONFLEX, and I've tried switching to CM11, and also a fresh install, with a system wipe, of AEONFLEX.
It was completely random when it sopped working, and there hasn't been any drops or anything like that, I haven't even had a case on the phone.
I hope someone has had this issue before, because I DEFINITELY do not want to have to go through LG to get it repaired if it were something internal.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Are you on Verizon?
Does tilting work in games?
Good question. I'm actually on ATT, and I'll check the games in a minute.
EDIT: no, no tilting in angry birds GO.
That's not good

Do you guys think it is a permanent hardware issue?

Did you flash back to stock to see if it still persist?

Try flash different mode.

I hadn't tried stock yet, but flashing a new modem worked. Like what even? How can a modem effect a sensor like that? I had flashed the kit kat modem and apparently that messed it up.
Its fixed now though. Thanks a ton!!! I thought I was going to be sending this thing to LG

Looks like you fixed it but sometimes its a new launcher so check settings
Nice!
Glad you were able to save your phone
Might have been just a problem of cache or something that was cleaned when you flashed the modem!
Yet it worked, so problem "solved" haha

Actually this happened to me too. I created a flashable zip to flash the new kit kat modem on my CM11 install. I cleared dalvik and cache, flashed the modem, rebooted and there is no auto rotate. Flashed the old modem back and auto rotate worked?? I don't get how flashing the modem disables auto rotate.

Modem might carry gyro code.
I had this happen and my fix was disabling auto rotate, running the motion sensor calibration on a flat surface and then re-enabling auto rotate again. Haven't had any issue since.

For some reason I don't have the option to calibrate the motion sensor on CM11?
Any other apps i can try to calibrate the sensor?
