Hi everyone, my Nexus 4 that I have been using for last 3 weeks now has this problem that has been baffling me, I have tried everything to figure it out but no solution.
I set 30 seconds as Display sleep time but it gets reset back to 15 seconds randomly either after a charge or after some hours of standby. I have no idea why this is happening. I have no Battery Saver apps installed. Have BatteryBot Pro installed, it only tells the battery status and no battery save settings in it. Had removed BatteryBot Pro and tested for few days, still happening. So its not that. Any way of knowing why its happening. I did even try a factory reset one week back, still happening.
Please HELP.
i have no idea what you are asking. display sleep time? what is that? what are you trying to do?

4.2.2 Stock ROM, Unrooted no modifications at all.
I searched in lots of forums, no one has this problem so I suspect maybe some App causing this.How to figure out which app?
i tried, rasbean jelly rom, and it works fine on 30 seconds and 1 minute.

do you have any battery improvements apps? ironically, battery improvement apps use the battery juice that they are supposed to save.
I saw the same thing happen to my buddy's Galaxy S3 on 4.1.1
We have not been able to nail down the cause yet. It just randomly reset to 15 seconds and we don't know exactly when or why
I will continue to monitor his situation and add any info I come up with here
I do not have any such battery saver apps. Only have Battery Bot which just gives battery percentage, earlier had battery widget reborn, even with it had the same problem.
I have Avast antivirus installed and also Lightflow. I have now my doubts on these two. Lightflow I have had since Day 1 and this problem has been since the very beginning.
get rid of the antivirus app android does not need it. if someone says the opposite, they just dont know.

I have it only for the anti-theft features. They work pretty good and had kept it installed only for it. Shall remove it and check if the problems persist, although I installed it only last week and doubt its related to this. Shall give it a shot now.
Edit- I have uninstalled Avast now. Shall monitor now if anything is better.
After having removed Avast yesterday still the problem is persisting. Had this incident twice today. Any ideas how to resolve it??
Still having this problem. No idea what's causing it!
Also my phone has switched off automatically twice yesterday. And to switch it on required me to press the power button for 10 seconds. Otherwise it failed to switch on. Battery was around 70% when it switched off . Any clues for these problems??

@abhishekagrawal I am having the same problem on a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 running a custom ROM. Although mine doesn't get reset to 15 seconds, per se. It somehow gets set to something much shorter, like maybe 5 seconds. When I go into the menu in settings, none of the options are selected and I have to re-select 30 seconds.
Did you ever figure out what was causing your problems? I assume it has to be some sort of app conflict. Maybe a lock screen widget?

Issues like that if these issues are only with you,it means that It's always some App messing with your phone
Same problem
I am also having this issue. Mine resets and I can't figure it out. I'm totally stock rooted on Nexus 4 running 4.2.2. I had the same problem after the 4.2 update.
I just unrooted and did a full factory reset and I still have the same problem.
Also having this problem on a stock Nexus 4 on Android 4.4.4, not rooted.

Same issue here, nexus 7, 4.4.4, unrooted, stock. No apps that I know of would be causing this. For me, I set the timeout time to anything other than 15 seconds. It will work with whatever I set it to, and even keep on restart, but the first time it reaches that timeout amount it will reset back to 15 seconds. I've tried just setting it to 30 minutes, with the idea I'd never actually reach it, but it also seems to randomly reset as well. It's driving me crazy.
I had the same problem since my Samsung Galaxy W. Never found the reason (default rom).
Now after a couple of years with Xperia Z. Still happening, came back to the forums and no answer.
However, I just found out in my case: the low battery mode was the problem.
Everytime the phone goes below 20%, the low battery mode will switch the screen off after 15 seconds. But it fails to restore to its original value after the phone is charged. I have changed the settings to "adapt to device settings" and so far it's worked.
This happens every once in a while... after leaving my nexus 10 charging overnight.. after I unplug it first thing in the morning the system starts to misbehave.. settings menu not opening, apps don't load.. in other words system is partially frozen, until I reboot. I even tried re-flashing factory images... but the issue is still there.. is it most likely caused by some background app that I use, or could it be a hardware issue? any idea folks
Never mind folks... I managed to sell it. Ordered the latest ipad, can't wait !!
Too bad as I got the same issue
Every morning the tablet is not responding at all, have to reboot. This is on stock 4.4. Anyone else experiencing this? How to chcek after reboot what was causing the hang?
This morning I noticed my phone getting very hot in my pocket. A quick check of gSam showed the phone temp at 105°. Battery had dropped from 100% to 60% in under two hours with no use. When I checked app usage mm-camera-daemon was running at 89% usage. I booted to recovery and wiped cache and that stopped it. Did a Google search and found that this was a bug with 4.4.2 and was fixed with 4.4.4. Now there are lots of posts on various forums about people having this problem with 5.0. It is the process that runs the camera and it apparently gets stuck running after using the camera or if any camera related apps are used. Clearing the cache fixes it, but I'm reading in different places that it may start again within a few hours. Just wondering if anyone else here has experienced this yet.

I would suggest checking to make sure you have Smart Stay turned off; it's not a complete solution but it eliminates a way the camera can turn on without you having directly initiated it. Since Smart Stay uses the camera to check if you are still looking at the phone before turning the screen off, it can cause the daemon to start even without a person realizing it leading to the overheating and power drain.
The morning this happened I booted to recovery and wiped the cache partition then left the phone off until it cooled down. I have not had this happen again since.
This is now happening 9 out of 10 times I open the camera or the gallery. With the original Lollipop update it was sporadic, but since OC4 it has become a regular problem for me. Is anyone else experiencing this?

It isn't just a lollipop problem. I'm on 4.4.4 NI2 and it happened to me. I deleted apps and still couldn't get it fixed. I had to go back to an earlier backup to get rid of it. Never figured it out.
Strange I never experienced this on KK. A cache wipe always fixes it but it's very annoying.
Probable Solution!
I had same problem on towelrooted 4.4.2 NE9 stock ROM. You can try this. I removed skype, rebooted and re-installed it again. And I never had this battery drain issue because of this again.
I tried posting this in the Sprint thread but haven't gotten any answers yet so perhaps I'll have better luck here. I pasted both posts to show the initial problem and what I did (essentially I factory reset). I'm still having the same problem where my phone will freeze while I'm charging it (about 2-3 times/week) requiring a battery pull. Anybody else seeing this problem or have suggestions on what I should try? Thanks.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Twice this week my alarm didn't go off (luckily I set a backup today) because sometime throughout the night something happened. When I woke up the phone was frozen on the yellow Sprint Spark startup screen. I needed to pull the battery and everything started up fine. I updated to Lollipop about 2 weeks ago which is where I'm guessing the issues stem from.
Is there anything I should try other than restoring to factory and starting over? I'd prefer to not have to wipe everything from my phone but these issues are becoming problematic. I am not rooted.
Thanks.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
So I ended up doing a factory reset and while the phone certainly started running faster with better battery performance after the reset I'm still having this issue. I would say it occurs 2-3 times a week. It has only occurred overnight which is typically when I charge my phone so I'm pretty sure it is related to being left connected to the charger. The majority of the times I will wake up with a dim yellow Sprint screen and everything else frozen though occasionally the screen will be black with the led notification light red. In both situations the screen will not respond to any button pushes or holds and I need to pull the battery and then everything will start up fine.
Does anybody have any suggestions here on what I should do? I guess I can try and restore one more time and see but I don't really know why it would be different and it is certainly a pain to keep restoring the phone and losing all my settings. I definitely don't want to root now since I believe that voids the warranty and if I can't figure anything out with this I'll certainly be requesting a new phone from Sprint. Before I start dealing with Sprint though I thought I would check here first. Through all my searches on the internet I haven't seen anyone else complaining about this problem.
Thanks.

Hi there. I have a Canadian Note 4 (W8) with Bell, and I am having identical issues.
While charging over night, I find my phone stuck on "Samsung" logo, with the bubble animal still running. Holding down the power button does nothing and the only work around is the battery pull. I noticed that it also gets warm (assuming from the screen on time?)
First tried cache wipe - no fix
Factory reset - no fix
Cache wipe again - no fix
Aaaand today I came into work late

Did your issues first start after you upgraded to lollipop?

Definitely after the upgrade.
While on KitKat, it never happened (1 month ownership). But after upgrading to lollipop, it has happened 4 times (6 nights since lollipop).
Have you figured anything out with your situation? Woke up this morning to my backup alarm and the Yellow Sprint screen on my phone.
I guess I'll have to try another factory reset and if it still happens try and get a replacement. It just doesn't seem widespread enough of an issue to be a software bug with 5.0.1.
Very frustrated. I did another factory reset but the issue still plagues my device. It still only occurs once or twice a week but when I hear my old clock radio alarm in the morning I know when I look over I'll see the yellow frozen Sprint Spark screen. I am completely out of ideas and guess I will need to have it replaced under warranty. I'm hoping Sprint won't give me a hard time as this will be very hard to demonstrate.
It definitely appears to be a software issue as it never happened before I upgraded to Lollipop but there must be more to it or others would be complaining.
If anybody has ideas please let me know. Thanks.
Response to Note 4 Freeezing while charging
I have found that after turning the quick charge feature off the problem is not happening. Hopefully this is fixed in 5.1
I'm having the same issue even after turning quick charge off..def a lollipop bug, never experienced this on kk.
I know its not the BEST option, but after taking the update to lollipop, sometimes left over kitkat files can make the system poop out. Sometimes a factory reset will take care of the leftovers. But of course, then you have to set your phone up again
If you've tried this or plan to to, let us know the results.
(When i first took the update, my heartrate monitor sensor was always on, so i did a factory reset and it fixed my problem).
Solved with workaround!!!
I faced this "sleep of death" too after updating to Lollipop. I had to pull out the battery almost every time after charging. Very annoying! I noticed though that my phone never froze in my car while charging. Thinking about the difference I realised that I keep my phone awake in the car while charging using Macrodroid (which I love anyway to automise all kinds of things). I made a simple macro which keeps my phone awake while charging and another one that returns the phone to normal while on battery.
While charging: Trigger: Power Connected; Actions: Keep Device Awake enabled & Screen Off, Constraints: None
On Battery: Trigger: Power Disconnected; Actions: Keep Device Awake disabled & Screen Off, Constraints: None
Off course there are alternatives available to Macrodroid that should be able to do the same.
My problems are solved, with and without fast charging. I hope this will help some of you as well.
same problem here
Ive tried turning off fast charging option on the powersaving mode
And also tried the option on developer mode, the "keep device awake while charging"
And even flashing dofferent firmwares from sammobile through ODIN and installed custom roms. These options doesnt resolve the issues on freezing while charging..
I think turnong off your device while charging is the only option..
Im using note4 N910C..

Thanks a lot, Mate. I'm trying your workaround now. Will report later if it works on my phone. BTW, so, are you sure it is a just a system issue? Definitely, isn't a hardware problem? Did you fix it, after your post -a month ago-, installing, for example, lollipop 5.1.1 or Cyanogenmod 12.1? I'm on 5.0.1, SimpleRom V4. Of course, mi device, N910C, is rooted.
Thanks again.
With lollipop 5.1.1 the problem is solved for me, even without this workaround.

I'm having similar issues as you guys. I found out that my phone will only perform normally when I charge it with my laptop USB port which I think is around 0.5amps. Anything above that, even a 1amp charger would cause the phone to freeze, reboot and turn off and not turn back on. The phone has been in repair 4 times and the problem is still there. Now every night I'm forced to charge my phone with my laptop which takes an age instead of the fast charger that came out of the box.
Currently my phone is still freezing and rebooting when I'm out and about and the only way I can get it to perform normally is when I plug it into my laptop. This normal functioning would only last whilst the phone is plugged in.
Hi guys
I recently bought an OnePlus 2. With the original firmware, I experienced a very strange and very annoying issue: My screen randomly turned off (e.g. during a chat in WhatsApp). The screen turns off and I have to turn it on again by pressing the power button. Then I enter my PIN to access my phone again and it locks AGAIN. This happens like 10 times in a row, then I have to reboot the phone and it was OK again. I seriously don't know what triggered this issue.
However, recently I got pissed of because I tried to call one of my customers and as soon as I entered my PIN and tried to open the phone app, the screen locked again and I almost threw away my phone. Damned troll.
So I decided to try another ROM as I thought it was an OS-related issue. Now I'm running Exodus Android 6.0.1. I did a clean install and guess what: The issue came back on this ROM...
In my opinion there's only something both installations (my previous 5.1.1 stock ROM and my current 6.0.1 ROM) have in common: I've been using XPosed with Amplify, Greenify and XPrivacy. Other than that, I have no idea what it might be.
Have you encountered the same or a similar issue? If so, were you able to solve it? How did you solve it?
I just uninstalled Amplify, as I think it stops somehow the Gyroscope service, that's why it locks randomly. I'll check if the issue appears again...
I think I have good news for you guys: I guess I was able to locate the issue.
I noticed it always happened when I was holding the phone in the hand I had a ring on my finger. Then I found out the phone has magnetic sensors (for flip covers).
I downloaded the Xposed module "Magnet Sensor Control", the bug hasn't appeared so far!
I hope I was able to help you guys with my findings. This thread may be closed now.
