Note 4 automatically locks if the notification bar is pulled down - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all I have a small issue. Since after I upgraded to lollipop I am experiencing an issue with the device locking.
Every time i pull down the notification bar from top in 10 seconds my phone gets locked. I will be reading my notifications and it will just lock, I cant keep it open for more than 10 secs.
This started happening after the update. The autolock is set for 2 mins so that's not the problem.
Please if anyone can help let me know and if anyone else experiencing this issue?
(Still havent tried reloading the new OS will do that if no other solution works)
Thanks

Did you factory reset the device yet? Try that, should work.

Thanks will give it a try and let you know.

So I figured out the issue. I did a factory reset and installed all the apps I had again and came to notice this happens when I install Nova Launcher and Tesla Unread app. Hopefully an update on these apps will resolve the issue.

Unlock restart issue

Hi all, I'm facing issue on my new G2 - It's not big deal, but I really want to get rid off this. My G2 getting restart by itself when I unlock the screen. It doesn't happening every time. But once this happen G2 shows me only LG logo and takes about 15-20 seconds to restart whole interface. Is there anyone who facing same issue? Or anyone with any idea how to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

try doing a factory reset. keep in mind you will lose all info on phone.
I have same problem too. I tried factory reset but problem not solved
Same here as well. Just got the phone yesterday and today it rebooted about ten times already! Not including twice after I did a master reset. I'm thinking about returning it.

I tried factory reset and so far so good. I'll update you to tomorrow.
So from yesterdays factory reset issue doesn't appear yet. So for me solved. I hope. Very much.
I solved the problem.
The problem was about Gmail 4.6 upgrade
Downgrading to 4.5 version worked
I found EXACTLY the same problem. I did not want to teset my phone, it's like resetting my life!
Luckily, reverting to the Gmail app 4.5 literally solved my problem instantaneously.
I have a Verizon version.

[Q] Rooted S5 on 5.0.1 with Lightflow

Over the weekend Lightflow was being wonky. Showing I had notifications when I had none.
So I uninstalled it, and hit restart to let the phone refresh..
Upon doing so, it bootlooped.... I think. After 3-4 minutes it came up with a Force Close window and said "System is Not Responding would you like to close? [Wait][OK]"
Has anyone else seen this or experienced it first hand?
As a fix, I removed the battery and let it set for a minute or so. Re-assembled, powered on, and it took a minute or so to boot fully after the removal of Lightflow and the bootloop, I think...
As the system hadn't loaded, I was unable to get SS's.. But does anyone have any insight on this?
Question: Do you have a Developer edition ? How are you on 5.0.1?
But the system not responding issue has also happened to me. Fixed it with a battery pull.
Not sure what causes the problem though. Maybe check logs?

Nexus 4 screen freezes randomly, no reaction when touching.

Hi everyone!
So I just had this problem after I woke up yesterday. I googled a lot but only found similiar problems.
Let me tell you what happened chronologically:
After turning the phone on in the morning it started updating apps as if I was doing a firmware update: "updating apps 1 of 135" etc. Note that my nexus was already running on 5.1.1 and had the latest updates installed.
Now it randomly freezes the screen on whatever screen it was before it happens and it won't respond to any touch input. This can also happen when not using the phone, then it will freeze at the lockscreen (the time freezes with it so sometimes i can see at what time it froze). Also, it loses connection with Wi-Fi as i'm using Whatsapp Desktop when i'm on my laptop and it mentions me that my phone is not connected.
The only thing that "fixes" (temporarily) it is a reboot. Now sometimes, on the lockscreen, i can just hold the power button and the pop-up comes in to turn the phone of, which i can somehow just tap on an it responds by turning the phone off. But sometimes (less frequent than the latter mentioned) the pop-up doesn't come in and holding the power button for a few secs will do the trick.
I hope I informed you all enough and my end question is: does any of you know what this is? How i can fix it or what i can do to prevent it or anything as I am hopeless. (my G3 is up for reparation so this is my sisters old phone, i had a nexus 4 myself for 2 years before the G3).
Thanks in advance!!
The best way to test it is by reformat the OS.
I positively think that it will solve the problem.
Since the phone is no longer under warranty, I guess there is no harm to install custom rom on it. They are fast and stable too.
Hope this help. Good luck.

EXACT thing happened to me too. Backup your data and hard reset from recovery. This fixed it for me
Same problem here bro, but neither custom roms or factory reset helps.... Is there anyone who has successfully solved the problem ?

Then it's time to change the screen or phone. Looks like it is a hardware issue.

I agree, your screen needs to be replaced.

G900T notification panel gets reset shortly after rebooting

Shortly after I switched from a G900A to a G900T, I noticed that the notification panel will get reset back to the default arrangement a few minutes after a reboot. This never happened on my G900A. There's also a problem with the function of a long press on the home button getting reset to the default.
There are these threads that address the problem, but nobody seems to have a solution:
https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...on-Panel-resets-after-phone-reboot/td-p/57184
https://support.t-mobile.com/thread/133834
https://www.reddit.com/r/galaxys5/comments/4myawp/notification_panel_icons_keep_resetting_after/
I thought that perhaps com.tmobile.pr.adapt might be causing this, but after I rooted the phone and froze that program, the unwanted resetting is still happening.
Is there some way to install a different notification panel? I haven't found any such thing yet.
try to use the app which i reverting the Datatoggle Icon and it should work.
Which app is this? I don't understand.

Issues with my device crashing

I purchased a Mi 9t a few days ago, and I'm experiencing a recurring issue that I can't seem to solve.
From time to time, the UI will simply crash. I can still see my apps but I can't open them, and the notification bar on top of the display just disappears. I can't access anything and my only solution is to reboot. Sometimes I'll have to reboot multiple times a day, which gets old quite quickly.
Most of the time it seems the issue occurs when I'm trying to go to the home screen, whether with gestures or with the home button.
- At first I thought it was a conflict between the gestures in Nova launcher and the gestures of the phone. Turning them off in Nova didn't fix it, so I tried to disable the phone ones and started using the navigation bar, but it didn't fix the issue either.
- I did clean Nova launcher's cache along with the system launcher's one, didn't fix anything.
- I tried to do a full factory reset, it didn't fix anything either.
- I tried to disable the search bar, didn't fix it.
- I tried using another launcher, didn't work.
- Using the system launcher didn't work.
I'll add that my phone and apps are all up to date.
I didn't find anything helpful on the internet, and now I'm out of ideas. Is it software, or could it be hardware ? I can still send the phone back and get a replacement, should I ?
Thanks for your input !

Hi there,
When you did a full factory reset did you start from scratch or did you import your backup?
If you did it with your backup once you were setting up your phone again, it may be some app that you have recently installed.
If you did factory reset (without restoring your backup) and still experience the same issue it could be Software/hardware issue (software being more likely) and yes you should send your phone for repair or get a replacement phone.
But before you do I would advise you to wait until another software update / Security patch is out and see if that resolves the issue for you if it does it was software issue if it does not it is a hardware issue.
Hope this helps
Thank you for taking the time to write an answer, I appreciate it !
Because of a delivery error I received a second device, so I decided to switch and send back the first one. I also suspected that it was more likely to be software rather than hardware, but thought I'd do it just in case. So far the issue happened once on the new device.
You raise a good point I hadn't thought about. I transferred the data from my old phone to the new one, at first. When I did a factory reset I entirely wiped the data on the phone, however I had backed up my data with Google and the Mi cloud, which I restored.
I think I'll try doing an entirely clean install if the issue persists. Thanks you !
