I recently rooted my note3 and installed xpose framework and other tweaks. i later realised that my power button cant lock and put my device into my lock screen.
the power button still works for everything else and i have a software button to bring it to the lock screen which i made using the "greenify app".
whats causing this and is there any fix? or any ways to put the device into safe mode ans see if this is caused by some faulty tweak? bug?
Summary:
"Power button works for everything except putting the phone to lockscreen/screen blackout"
Basic solution is to go to security and check "power button instantly locks" something like that.

List the modules you installed. It is possible that something is overriding the button function.

I removed all my modules and root permissions and used super user to remove my root.
Ive backed up all my data, removed my root access and im planning to do a factory reset. That should fix it right? Is it possible to soft brick my device this way?
Im fluent when it comes to jailbreaking but still a total noob with rooting.

Factory reset will delete all data photos, music, vids, contact and messages etc. If you've backed up everything then you are good to go for factory reset and will welcome you back to fresh out of the box phone. And no soft brick can occur by doing this.

Have you tried a battery pull after FR?

Battery pull as in remove and put the battery back in? Yes but not in any special way?
Hmmmm...this is odd. Can't seem to figure out anything that would mess up power button in such a manner.
You're on stock rom right? Nothing fancy done to your phone.

i was playing with boot animations last night. that could of caused it? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2486469
Very interesting...
I discovered that if I renamed the boot animation qmg file under \system\media , the screen won't turn off. Once I restored the file, all is well.
Why is this?
how to i reset all this without doing it manualluy?
I'm assuming it's coded as most hardware functions are. Anyway applause for finding the solution on your own, well done.

Thanks for the link. Won't help me, unfortunately Volume Up + Power doesn't show anything on the screen
...and we are back
Just took the battery off, put it on. Switched on the device and voila - back to that stupid motoblur login (It was actually the reason - I tried to do hw reset to get rid of email/password since I entered random data there and now can't neither remember it nor reset the password)

Ok sweet glad all is well at least =-D
I noticed because when I bought it it was heavily modified & rooted running Gingerblur, already had clockwork installed so I went to flash a clean sbf with rsd and could not get it to enter rsd mode. Finally I realized it was because the volume button dosen't work. I have a feeling its not hardware related and more likely someone that didnt know what they were doing fooling with things.
Does anyone know a way I can fully restore it without using the volume rocker? When I called back the guy that sold it to me he claimed I have to install rom manager and load a image and that will fix it but he probably dosent know what hes talking about.
Does it have tenfars CWM installed already? If not, can you install it? With it , you can reboot directly into cwm recovery and do a factory reset / data wipe or flash something else through update.zip

Yes it has it installed already but without functioning volume up/down buttons I cannot select any files or options?
Doh forgot about that... how about Factory Data Reset through the regular settings menu? On mine it's in the Privacy Settings.

Yah I tried that a couple times. Rocker still dosent work. Took it to my local cell phone repair shop and they said its hardware related. Dosent make sense though since water damage indicator is white and phone appears to be in brand new physical condition like its never been dropeed or damaged. But it has been hacked as i see system recovery and its rooted with gingerblur.
The person that you bought the phone from could have pressed way to hard on the button and broke it without even knowing it.

+1 probably hardware related...
but if you want to try one more thing, might go the official motorola update software route here...
http://direct.motorola.com/hellomot...SoftwareUpdateforATTATRIX4Gversion.4.1.83.pdf
RSD restore it and call it in on warranty. Used phones still have warranty protection.

Thanks for the suggestion but it says there is no software update available when i connect it. Anyways I took it to att warranty center they said they will send out replacemnet and that software related stuff should not affect my warranty. A little worried though since it says gingerBLUR on boot up. Wish I could restore this somehow.

About the gingerblur bootanimation, use rootexplorer to remove the bootanimation.zip.

Ok I have root explorer. What exactly should I do?
If you still have the phone I remembered that you can enter rsd mode by enabling usb debugging then clicking start on rsdlite. It'll reboot into rsd protocol mode.
if it is the rocker that's gone, its only a module and theres only 6 screws to totally disassemble the phone. no void stickers either. my phone's rocker button was broke to when i bought mine used. i just disassembled and reassembled and it was magically fixed! theres nothing scary about taking it apart either
Did you find a solution?
I am in the same boat. I need to use this piece of c**p for a month before I switch to galaxy s3. Please assist.
Something strange happened today.
My N4 changed a lot of things with no reasons:
1) home button stopped working
2) no notifications at all on notification bar
3) when i hold power button only show "turn off" and no more the other options
What may be the cause of that?

have you tried rebooting?
also, you will have to give us more info, like what rom, kernel, any mods/themes, your setup, etc..

I have no notification icons on the top bar as well, but i have some apps running on background that should appear there.
Is there a reboot method like when we remove the battery?
If you have a custom recovery and can get into it have you tried wiping cache and dalvik? Or a factory reset?

In settings it is under backup and restore I believe will have the option. Keep in mind it erases your data so if you have anything you want to keep back it up first.

I think i know what happened. This is a very strange bug but it happens once in a while.
Whenever you flash gapps or flash the stock rom your phone boots up into a setup mode which blocks alot of things and limits itself . Once your all done with the setup your phone then changes a file in the system or deletes it that keeps the phone from going into setup mode again. Your phone seems to be in this so called setup mode because the home button doesnt work, only power off option, and no notifications, this is the behavior of the setup. Your phone might have changed that file or replaced it.
I dont think a factory reset will help anything as its in the system, i might be wrong but you should try it first and if you cant get it to work then just flash stock again. This has happened to me a few times before and i have resolved it by just reflashing the stock rom. Im not sure what the cause is but i guess its just a random chance that you get this.
Also no you dont loose root if you factory reset.
That is a strange bug I've never heard of that you may be right but a factory reset should force him to go through set up again which could fix that. I didn't suggest re flashing since he stated he didn't have a custom recovery.

Are you rooted? Are you on Stock Rooted ROM? OR Non Rooted? If you don't know these words and reading them first time..type no.
Is your N4 rooted ?

With no root, the only way to get rid of this bootloop is to factory reset, you can do it in recovery by pressing volume down + power at the same time, then you choose Recovery with the volume button. BUT you will loose everything ( pics, apps, etc. ).
But I hope that someone can give you another solution less "destructive".

Can he do a back up using ADB and then do a partial restoration after a factory reset?
Will adb backup work if the phone's not booting? .. I know that adb works when in a bootloop, but in the guide it shows a prompt to enter some encryption password ... I summon android wizards to answer this ...

Hahahaha ok. Well it was not able to go to download mode because it was stuck in recovery mode. A battery pull out and then down+home+power button did the trick to go to download mode. After that he flashed the stock rom again
