Camera light flash not turning off?

Bought this phone about 2 weeks ago. Was playing with the settings when i noticed in accessibility there was an option for the camera light to flash when you get a message. Cool right? **** no!
At first everything seemed great, then while sitting in the gf's truck waiting for god knows what, i noticed that the light was on in my pocket, the phone was mad hot, and it killed the battery power by 30%.
Ok, simple solution right? Turn off the option... Later in the day realized the flash was back on on notifications, turned it off again. Long story short, unfroze all the bloat (non rogers bloat anyways) and killed the process (cant remember the name atm) and problem solved. The accessibility option did not re-enable.
Until today... Weeks later, randomly, the phone is flashing away on notifications once again. Turn off the option, reboot, and the option is selected again.
This phone has been problem free, no power issue or fc's. Actually its a great device, but is this stupidity really just me?

Have you tried wiping cache (and dalvik if you have cwm/twrp) in recovery after resetting light notification setting?

Stupidly enough no... Considering this being the first device I've left stock the thought hadn't even crossed my mind. (cache wipe, yes ive done, didnt think of dalvic though).
Thanks, will give it a shot.

My G2 gets stuck in a sort of boot loop sometimes...

If I try and reboot the phone instantly it turns on, gets to the lock screen, and after anywhere from 4-10 seconds, it turns off and suddenly I'm looking at the LG then AT&T boot splash again. If I hold the power button to force power off and let it sit, off, for a minute or two then turn it back on it works just fine.
I think it has something to do with the rooting process. I never got the original chinese superuser app removed and the new superuser app working properly and had to re root it a couple of times, then eventually gave up and left both of them on the phone and didn't try to remove the chinese one.
I'm not sure what to do since I can't just boot into rom manager and flash a stock rom over mine like I would have to fix problems with any of my older android phones.
Are there special steps I might have missed when trying to remove the chinese superuser app? Maybe I did something out of order by accident? I followed the thread on G2 => General to the letter...
EDIT: I also have a few apps frozen in Titanium Backup, but I don't think any of them could cause this. This is the list of frozen apps:
-Featured Apps
-File Manager
-LG Backup
-LG Keyboard
-LG Keyboard Black Theme
-LG Keyboard Lovely Theme
-LG Keyboard Natural Theme
-Music 4.2.9
-Music 4.1.13
-POLARIS Office 5

I think it almost definitely has to do with the root issues I had earlier.
Is this guide the only way to return to bone stock firmware on AT&T? I tried following it a few days back but I don't think I ever got my phone into recovery mode.

This happened to mine when I went into the service menu and made changes to the thermal settings. After forcing it off and waiting about 10 minutes, it booted up fine.

Thanks! Which settings and what is the default? I went in and changed the things I thought I changed originally when u did that but I'm not totally sure if I changed them back to what they're supposed to be.

The default for High Temperature Property and Thermal Daemon Mitigation is OFF. I got gunshy and turned them back to OFF and haven't fooled with it since.

[Q] Nexus 4, Force close loop on all apps, Help?

Last night my phone was working perfectly and i didnt install any new apps yesterday so i dont know what caused this to happen...
At about 6am today i turned on my phone. it was all fine until i unlocked it. When i put in my pattern it unlocked and it showed a few of my icons for about half a second and then it came up with an error message saying that the launcher had crashed so i pressed "ok" and it came up again so i pressed "report" and then it said "market feedback agent has stopped" and went back to the launcher and came up with the first error again.
i was just thinking about a way of getting around all the errors to install a new launcher so then i could use my phone. i plugged in my earphones and used the button to start playing my music, then i unlocked my phone and quickly opened skype before the error came up again and then i went in my notifications and i could open Play Music from the notification, i had a notification for an app update so i clicked it and it opened the play store so i installed "go launcher ex" i tried going into my recent apps to change my song but it said "system ui" had crashed, i tried to get into my settings but that crashed too, i worked out that it was most of the stock apps and a few others like bbm that werent working.
device specifications:
Nexus 4
Android 4.3
Rooted
Stock rom
Stock kernal
I dont know what to do without losing everything? thank you for any help

rebooted already? This usually fixes a lot of probs.
cheers

This is happening to me to. I fix it by clearing the ram or closing all open apps. But it happens like once daily now. Any long term solutions?

same issue as here...

just different description... Just cleared google service framework data... will check back in on that thread after tomorrow morning and let you know if it works.

Same here. Bone stock and I don't even shut the phone off but overnight something happens to it and all apps crash. It sucks because it was my morning alarm but the clock app crashes without sounding the alarm.
If I reboot it will work perfect till the next morning, then all over again. Wiped and it still does it. Called it in and Google wasn't aware of anything so if you get this make sure and call Google so they know its widespread.

I cleared services framework and it solved it. So far, 2 days without infinite force closes

Same thing happened to me today. I rebooted into recovery, cleared cache, clear dalvik cache and reboot. Been fine since.

That did not fix it for me.
I got the infinite loop the next morning.

i tried re-booting but nothing happened, i had to go into recovery mode and reset my phone. now i wish i made a backup.

I haven't been getting those major crashes yet but after a while I can't open any apps or they "stop. " I think it has been happening ever since I returned to stock for the kit Kat update. Closing all the apps sometimes fixes it but that ruins my favorite part of the phone which is I can have all my stuff open all the time.

I'm still having this problem. Did everyone else fix it or did it just go away?

You guys should try fastboot flash system... I was getting these crashes awhile back and flashing the system.IMG solved it for me. You will not loose any data either

[Q] Galaxy s4 screen turned white

I was using my Galaxy S4 and suddenly the screen turned green then turned white.
I had to take off the battery and then re put it. I tried to turn on my phone but it wouldn't turn on.
after a couple of minutes I tried again and it turned on and worked normally.
What was that for and what is the problem?

Buggy app?

I don't know, I haven't downloaded any new apps that could cause this to happen.
It was working perfectly before.

Well a crashed background process
Or any random crashing can cause something like this to happen.
Dont worry. If the phone is working fine now, just use it.
Things like this happen at times

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
