[Q] Vibration along with Expanded Notifications - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys,
I just recently got my Nexus 4, and began to do some work on it. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed PhilZ Touch recovery, rooted, and got Xposed framework, all on stock ROM and Kernel. I began to restore all my apps, data, files, etc.. and just finished. But I noticed something that I cant remember if it happened right out of the box: when I proceed to expand my notifications, my device vibrates a short but noticeable vibrate. I have full control over vibration, sound, etc.. elsewhere, except in the notification shade with these expanding notifications. I have gone through ROM settings, Kernel Settings, Gravity Box, etc and cant see if this is something I did or if this is how its always been, and if so, how to disable it. Thanks in advance guys.

Update
Hey Guys,
I tried booting into safe mode and checking, and it seemed that it still happened, although all my Xposed tweaks were still visibly there. This means it isnt an app, but could possibly be GravityBox, Xuimod or tweakbox. I will start disabling these modules to see if it fixes the problems.

Update on Notification Expand/Collapse Vibration
Alright. I made a nandroid to preserve my device in its current state, and proceeded to disable all xposed modules and rebooted. My device continued to vibrate when notifications were expanded/collapsed, and so with all modules disabled, I booted into safe mode to disable all user apps, essentially making my device pure stock. This did not change anything, and I still receive vibrations. Although I did notice that it only happens when I expand/collapse with one finger. When two are used, there is no vibration. I am at a loss of idea's now for trying to fix the one finger expand/collapse vibration. Is this a stock thing? Is it supposed to be like this? Thanks.

Upon further investigation, I can safely conclude that it is a stock "feature". Thanks again everybody.

You know I can't say I ever noticed the vibrate. It's that insignificant why did you go through all that.

I guess its because I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something I did wrong or anything like that. It's my OCD

Notifications problem

Hey guys i got a problem with notifications and i searched online but i did'n find anything so, here i am!
I recently rooted my Nexus 4 and after some time i flashed Faux m31 Kernel, it's great and everything works fine except for notifications: i see them only when i turn on the screen, even after having installed Lightflow notifications. I tried to change various settings, but nothing has changed: i keep not getting notifications.
Trying to phone myself the screen goes on but i don't get vibrations or sounds. Unistalling Lightflow notifications and setting them in the specific apps i got the same result: abslutely nothing. I am on rooted stock rom 4.4.2, ClockworkMod Recovery, Faux m31.
I'd really appreciate any advice!

[Q] Settings change by themselves

It started as a weird feeling. I thought that I had just forgotten that I had changed a setting or two. But now I am certain that the phone changes some settings by itself.
Knock on keeps turning off by itself . I did also enable led notifications a couple of hours ago only to find them turned off now , after I plugged in my device (I didn't see the red light when I locked the screen). I am completely stock . I haven't received the latest OTA update though. Do I need to see a shrink or something strange is going on with the phone's software ?

I suggest you get an exorcist for your phone immediately, anyways all joking aside did this just begin or has it been happening for a while now, have you installed any weird apps/modules(if rooted), as a last resort you can backup apps(via carbon if not rooted or titanium backup if you are rooted) and music/videos/pictures to your pc and factory resetting to see if the issue persist

Thank you once again for you answers. I have the phone 3-4 days as I wrote to you in the other thread ! It has been happening from day one. I am completely stock , no root , no nothing. I don't want to hard reset but it may be obligatory in this case.
Yes, I have seen the LGG2 reset settings as well

I am so glad to see someone else posting about this. This happens to me so often and is so frustrating.
I see several different changes happening fairly frequently:
1. Date/time settings get changed (auto date time gets disabled, auto time zone gets disabled, use24 hour gets enabled, various combinations of these 3 settings change)
2. Knock on/off gets turned off
Less frequently:
1. Auto rotate turns off
2. Home Screen Background resets and/or theme changes
3. Allow Home screen looping gets disabled
I have Verizon LGG2, rooted,
Android 4.4.2
Baseband version: VS98024A-M8974A-AAAANAZM-2.0.20046
Kernel Version 3.4.0-perf-gdf89a11
Build Number: KOT491,VS98024A
have been unsuccessful updating to the latest OTA - figured it was because of root, after uninstalling root still had the error.
Not sure if that is related.
Both the reset issue and the lack of OTA update are annoying, but not so problematic that I want to reset my phone.
If anyone has seen this issue and/or has suggestions (including reset, I suppose), I'd appreciate it.
Thanks i n advance.

Lockscreen not working, also "System UI isn't responding" and Settings app FC

Lockscreen not working, also "System UI isn't responding" and Settings app FC
Hey there. I hope this hasn't been addressed already, I wasn't able to find a thread that would help me.
I'm running stock 6.0, no root. A month ago, one day my MXP lockscreen started having some pretty terrible problems; it wouldn't respond, basically. Pulling down would end up with a frozen lock image, then I'd need to press the power button to switch it off, then press it again to get to the proper lockscreen, and that wouldn't work either. After trying about 200 times I would be able to unlock it, then I'd start having problems with the notification bar (wouldn't work/wouldn't get to quick toggles). I tried rebooting several times, but after a few seconds on the issue would start again. Somehow after a while it seemed to start working properly on its own.
Today the same thing is happening. Only this time it's persisting after four hours. I guessed I would just disable the lockscreen altogether, and that seemed to work for about ten minutes. Now I get the notification bar issue, random system UI not responding messages, app switcher issues, a sometimes-not-working home soft button, and when I try to set the lockscreen again it asks for my pin (which I'm not sure it should, being that I disabled the lock); when I type it in the security app crashes.
The issue persists on safe mode as well.
Any ideas? Thanks a lot in advance
Factory reset?
Time for a custom ROM, may I suggest TruePure 2.9

OP isn't rooted, so suggesting a new ROM is not going to help. If this is happening even in safe mode, it isn't app related. Sounds like a hardware issue. Contact Motorola (or Lenovo).

Phone Lock-up Problem

So, I have a very curious problem with my phone. Sometimes, randomly, usually when playing video, my navbar and statusbar disappear completely, and then everything just goes to black, my wallpaper comes up, and then my lockscreen. The phone just locks itself. I use fingerprint, but I need to enter the code to "enable fingerprint". I'm guessing System UI is crashing, but why?
I used to be on stock ROM (Marshmallow), stock kernel, rooted, and had Xposed installed. I had a ton of Xposed modules installed and frankly, I thought one of the modules was the problem. My phone would, as I described lock itself while doing somthing. It seemed to be random, but happened the most while watching videos on YouTube. Sometimes this would happen 4-5 times, and I'd find my wallpaper replaced with the factory default one.
I recently flashed Lineage OS 14.1 and ElementalX kernel, re-installed Xposed (though an incomplete version, the one made by the PurifyOS team) and enabled only 1 very minor module (Android Phone Vibrator). I was very unpleasantly surprised to see the same thing happening, yet again. Not necessarily after enabling the Xposed module . It only happened twice so far, (while using WhatsApp) but the symptoms are the same. My navbar and statusbar disappear, although this time the screen freezes, instead of turning off completely. I can still turn off the screen and open the power menu using the power button.
I can provide logs, or any other info necesarry really, but it's really hard for me to catch logs, because I can't reproduce the error. It's really driving me insane. Please, help me..

Well, that's pretty hard to do, since these "lockups" happen with long intervals not really consistently, so it'd be really hard to disable everything I installed and use my phone for a few weeks in that state.
@MMMedic Did you resolve your problem?
My Moto G4 Plus has started doing the same thing as you described, even down to changing the wallpaper.
My phone isn't rooted and I'm just using the stock Android.
I'm not sure what to do to fix it.
I think resetting your phone and start a fresh without restoring a backup and install only the apps you need would fix your issues..

UI Elements Stop Responding, Mobile Data Disabled Suddenly

I seem to have run into a weird issue I cannot find anything about. I'm using the v20 with LOS16 with Magisk and Gamma Kernel 5.0.1. This is the second time this issue has occured, as I previously had to wipe the phone and start fresh a few days ago (was using GKv88 with Second Screen then).
Half of the phone basically just stops working. Mobile Data will disable itself and not turn back on, the status bar shows no notifications (though I do hear the sounds), and the task button stops responding. I tap it, it flashes like it recognizes my tapping, but it does nothing.
The only installed modules are Viper4Android, BusyBox NDK, and Energized Protection.
Edit: Fingerprint reader no longer working as well.

You'll probably find solutions in the Los 16 & gamma kernel threads
