long story short i went from an old GB to an ICS. didn't care too much for it so i went back to this one. loved it but i noticed that when i went to reboot none of the options worked. also then noticed that it would freeze at other times too and the only way to get unstuck was to put it to lock the screen and unlock it.
thinking it was the rom i switched again to this one just a trial and error. well its doing it on this one too. but now i can't even unlock the screen.
unless im missing something, i am doing all this through cwm and doing a data wipe and cache wipe each time.
what else can i try to get everything rectified
edit: and no, my digitizer is not broken as it has worked for well over 2 years as well as when i had the ICS rom up until the past weekend!
But the digitizer can brick from one moment to the other. In my case, i flashed miui and my digitizer was broken after that. Before that all was fine.
What i did to find that out, was to reset the phone completly. What means, back to WM 6.5. It's just an idea to do another trial and error. If it doesn't work in WM 6.5 u're digitizer is nearly to 100% broken.
Sorry for my bad english. May i could help u

thanks for the input, by again my digitizer is fine
it only stops responding when i try and reboot the phone.
hai bro,,,,,,
pls change the rom to gingerbread.....use asop roms i.e. non sense roms for less freezing specially when unlocking screen freeze...currently ics hardware acceraltion under some issue the xda members are working hard to come issues...wait for a stable daily use ics build release..........all ics rom are beta hence no hardware video codecs etc.....dont doubt your screen it works well ,,,my htc is 1.5yrs old it is fine.. dont doubt your digitalizer..it is fine ...only your kernels in rom make this error ..
i personal recommand to go with stable cm7 base builds...for better battery life and stablity...

and how do you go about rebooting the phone do you use the power/end key to bring up the power menu
if so
try downloading quickboot from the play store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ckboot&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
and use it to reboot your phone and see if it freezes

every time i hold the power button in to reboot/turn off it hangs. i can't choose any of the options. if i hit the back arrow it removes the options screen but is still hung. i can hit the power button to black the screen but then i have to wait about 10 seconds to unlock it. if i try right away its still hung. but if i wait the 10 seconds or so it seems to be fine.
i know its not a big deal since i rarely reboot/power off. and now that i have that app it works.

ok so test it out with out touching the power/end key for anything
you can use this program from the market to lock the screen

and when unlocking the the phone use your windows key and see if things work a little bettor

thanks kam. i'll try those and report back.
ok full fledged lock up this time. had to yank the battery.
could there be something still lingering on the system even after i did a wipe of the data/cache? im not opposed to reinstalling the rom if theres something else i can run to wipe it further.
also after booting back up it reverted to monday june 18 8:32 am!

Hey, whilst it's great that you're trying to help, this is fundamentally wrong. This is an opinion based question but you're stating this as fact, which is misinformation and could cause confusion. Please choose your wording more carefully as the majority of ICS users DON'T have issues and I find it a tonne more stable than GB. Also overuse of emoticons

Since you say you aren't opposed to reinstalling the ROM, try that. If that doesn't work, try WinMo. I'm inclined to agree with Kameirus here, it sounds like a digitizer issue, and you shouldn't rule it out as a possibility just yet. Installing WinMo should be able to tell you whether or not this is your problem.

well i am on reinstall #2 of this exact rom. like i said since going to ICS a couple weeks ago this is my 4th rom within said 2/3 weeks. even up to the install of ICS i have had zero digitizer problems.
can i install winmo from cwm? if so does anyone have a link so i can give it a whirl?
ok reinstall #3 of that rom. this time it acted like the first time i installed it. the touch screen was responsive when choosing the options for installation.
the only thing i did was flash CWM 150mb instead of the 400mb i think was on there. not sure if that had anything to do with it but at least i would eliminate it.
ok up and running. i won't do any updates and see how it acts.
HA! well that didn't take long where's that winmo rom i can try out LOL!

Provided you have the right ROM for your device type (i.e. a TMOUS) then yes, it would work fine. I find his guides very good actually, much more noob-friendly than some of the ones here on XDA (general statement, not trying to say you're a noob or anything)
hi guys..
Got my new phone at the launching day.. everything runs perfect..
But yesterday and today i encounter a small issue..
please note that i have fingerprint scanner lock on my phone..
when i pressed the home button just to wake the screen, the screen didn't respond.. only the side buttons lid..
the screen remained black after the second press too.. then i pressed the power button once and the screen woke..
the thing was that when i pressed the power button after this incident the home screen game me a third option, apart from emergency calls (left) and alternative password (right), Unlock via Google placed to the middle..
this happened also today twice..
Any suggestions on this ?? did anyone encounter this ??
please note that i didn't use any other locking method except fingerprint scanner and the home button responds fine in any other case.. Thanx..
I randomly get unresponsive touches when trying to open an app in the app drawer folders. Haven't had the home button issue though

I'm having the exact same problem. Very disappointing for a new device. Not sure if I'm going to return it yet. I've tried factory reset and it didn't fix it.
Guy in the shop said he'll have to send it back to Samsung for testing.
I've gone back to using my old phone !!!!!!

im having similar issues while on a call, i cant type in the extension, i touch the number pad and it does nothing. I turn off screen and now it doesnt want to turn back on. Like anything new, there will be a few hiccups, but samsung are usually fast for that first firmware push. I remember for the S4, i got it on launch day and the same day a new firmware was available, the note 3 took about 10 days before that initial firmware that fixed the few most obvious issues. Dont bring it back, just be patient.

Did that now and will test it through all day .. so far so good..
will let you know you guys..
hopefully it will get fixed.. if not we wait for an firmware update..
UPDATE
I used my phone all day using the settings above.. (no s-voice at home button and fingerprint lock) I encounter the problem 3-4 times.. other than that all is ok..
Now im going to use all day the pin to lock the screen and see what happens..
thanx
UPDATE

Hey man,
Had the same issue with my S5, I think the wait for the fix is easier to handle if you know there are other guys having the same issue rather than having something wrong with your specific device. So imho it'd be great if some other guys would reply just to know it's a common issue.
To me SGS5 is a great phone even with all the rants and reviews against buying it, there will be updates, we just need to be patient.
Thanks for the post!

I can confirm that i have similar issues too.
Sometimes (2-3 a day) the screen is not waking up from sleep state when i press the home or the power button.
The solution is that i need to press the power button to sleep the device and then press again or press the home button to wake up.
Not a big deal but i hope that this issue is not hardware related and a firmware fix will solve it.
Apart from this, it's really a great smartphone.
Hi,
Just a small update, the issue replicates also when using the Samsung S View case, just bought one and I still get the same behaviour as with the home and power button (i.e. only the softkeys light up, the screen doesn't wake up).
I haven't been able to consistently replicate though, but it seems to happen after long sleep periods.
All the best!

Hi !
One question.
Which ROM version do you have ?
The ...ANCE, or ANCF ?
thank you all for your replies.. its good to know that its not my device..
Hopefully with the new update they will fix it..
by the way yesterday i missed a call, do to that problem.. the phone was ringing but the screen was sleeping..
So i decided to chance my ROM, from EUR-Greece to NEE-Norther Countries.. Also did a hard factory reset after that.. Volume up + Power + Home.. Also deleted the cache partition..
I used odin.. No problems found.. and Kies recognizes the phone..
So i will check how this goes and get back to you..

I was just thinking that the G900FXXU1ANCF is maybe a little bit newer, as the build number is higher (1186806) So that's a different rom for sure.
Currently running the latest Chroma rom with the stock kernel. The little circle that's supposed to show up around the lock icon at the bottom doesn't show up 90% of the time (http://prntscr.com/abhku3). I'm trying to unlock it with a bluetooth (not NFC) fitness band.
This isn't a problem with the band, because I tried putting Face Unlock as well, but the detection doesn't show up most of the time.
Is there any way to fix this?

I haven't had an issue with smart unlock before, I pair it with my Moto 360. I don't know if it's the kernel because I personally use the Taurus kernel and not the stock one, that might be a reason but again I don't know for sure at all. Maybe on Multirom I'll install a second Chroma and leave it on stock and see if I can get it to reproduce what you're having, I'll get back to you in about 20-30 minutes on how it goes.
-Edit- Might be a bit longer since I need to redownload the latest build. My internet can be slow at times
-Edit 2- I haven't had the issue, at least with my watch. Not too sure how much further I could help you :/

It is a bit strange. I do have one final thing to test out actually. I just remembered my girlfriend got a generic bluetooth fitness band thing for her senior year, I'll charge that up and see if that gives the same issue since I still have the multirom boot with it. It'll take probably an hour to charge it since it's just a generic one.

I'm certain it's not the band's fault cause gave unlock isn't detected either. I'll try the pure nexus and cm roms to see if it makes a difference.

Especially if the band was working fine on other roms or devices. CM 13 is my main daily driver rom and I haven't had a single issue with several bluetooth devices I own, I always will recommend it xD The fitness band is almost charged and I'll test that out here real soon

I only got the band 2 days ago and have just tested it on Chroma.
Quick question, does CM13 support Volume Key to unlock AND double tap status/nav bar to lock? My power button is screwed up and it barely registers. Also, are the latest nightlies stable or should I go with an older build, if I don't plan to update my rom in the next month?

Double tap to sleep, yes. Let me quick boot into it to make sure for the volume key. If you get Kernel Auditor and the right kernel you can have double tap to wake which is wonderful. Ok it does have the option for volume key unlock. I haven't had any issues with the nightlies, a while back I had one that would randomly freeze my touchscreen but that was early last month.

Sweet, I'll give CM a shot! I hope the smart unlock was a rom problem and not a hardware one. My phone's nearing the end of it's life, so it's more than possible.

Glad to hear it's working! I've been having some issues on Marshmallow in general lately, contacts aren't syncing from Google. But, I'm gonna open up my own help thread for that xD
Hi,
I'm sorry if it's a trivial question that has been asked million times before -- referring as an exact duplicate is also appreciated.
I have a Galaxy S5 device and I'm experiencing troubles with it with the following symptoms/scenario:
* The device works fine in general.
* The device screen gets totally black if the device turns the screen off after a certain period of time that's configured in Settings.
** The device seems to work though, and to react on awaking with the Power button. A: I assume it works behind the black screen because I can see the bottom buttons highlighted for a while. B: However, I'm not sure what happens if making screenshots the device using adb -- I haven't checked it yet.
** The device cannot reboot within a certain amount of time: up to 30 minutes (boot loop). When the period ends up, the device can boot again.
* If the device gets asleep after pressing the Power button, I can awake it and it works fine.
So, the general rule is to make sure that the device does not gets asleep itself and does not get into "coma".
The workarounds I could find so far:
* Install an app that merely does not let the device sleep so the screen is constantly turned on.
* Increase the sleep timeout up a reasonable amount of time (say, 10 minutes) and not forget to press the Power button within this period.
The question is: why does it happen and how do I resolve this issue? I mean: why does screen not get turned on when I try to awake it after it gets asleep itself?
Android 6, the stock firmware, no root.
Thank you in advance!
Are you using a 3rd app in order to gain in battery or performances?

Thank you for the feedback. No, never: the scenario I described in the question can happen even after re-flashing a stock firmware (Android 5 or 6 --- the version does not really matter).

When you screen off with power button, then screen on with power button after short time, it works, right?

Yes, it works when I turn off the screen with power button myself. I can turn on it later even after a long period of time.
But when the screen is off by Android itself (I mean after an inactivity period), then, when I try to turn it on, the device seems to work and even react the screen taps (I guess since I haven't check it with `adb shell screencap` yet). The only difference is that the screen is off in such case, so I can't see anything.

Maybe you should try to flash a different firmware from sammobile.
Don't forget to wipe everything, including system of course.
Maybe cleaning your sdcard as well (but I don't know why it should interfere).
Is your problem recent, I mean only existing after your last firmware flash?

I tried to flash another firmwares a few times, but if the device was fine with them, then the describe issue persisted, so it made me think that I was using wrong firmwares. It's hard to say if I have a wrong one now, but it works except of that issue...
fgth90 said:

No, it's not recent per se: I had a well-working device with stock firmware for very long period, and suddenly got a reboot and forever bootloop. Flashing a new firmware was the only way I could resurrect it more or less. But now the only issue I see is that the device falls into "coma" if I don't press the Power button. Well, it makes me think that something prevents the screen from turning on, and I believe it must be a software issue. ... Or not -- I can't tell, this is where my knowledge is running out.

If I understood you correctly, then it's installed on the device according to the information is posted above. The same happened before I applied the update too, so probably this update doesn't change anything for that.

What you can try is a 3rd app to screen off your screen when you put your phone at horizontaly position and screen on with gestures.
I pm you a link for it.
It won't resolve your problem but can screen your phone off before the delay on settings.
Wait a little then try, then report.
Good luck

Great! Thank you very much! I never had an idea of another way of making the screen off except of "let Android do it" or "let me do it myself" -- a 3rd-party app is to the rescue! That's a brilliant suggestion to work around the issue since it made my eyes got open for totally another solutions. And let Android to be the last one in that screen off queue! Thank you!!

Absolutely, but I'm still impressed by the alternative you suggested. Thanks again.
It can be a Hardware problem, If updated to Latest firmware in correct region, And not worked, Is The Hardware causing this.

can i have that pm too? i have the same problem: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/help/galaxy-s5-doesnt-wake-home-key-weird-t3556724
Hello Guys,
I am from India, I got the latest update attached screenshot.
I am facing few issues:-
The phone has become laggy in some departments such as:
1. The fingerprint mark stays on the screen after the screen unlocks.
2. Even after pressing the power button screen doesn't lock. The screen does black out but when I double tab on the screen it directly takes me to the home screen without showing the lockscree first. I am not using Google trusted location or devices to unlock without taking my fingerprint or face recognition.
3. When I try to dial a number it doesn't call at a single go, after pressing multiple times it calls the person whom I am trying to call. It looks very choppy as if the system responding to my commands little later.
4. Whenever I am trying to take the screenshot it doesn't take at a single go, after pressing multiple times the system recognises I am trying to take the screenshot and respond little later.
All the apps are working fine without any lags but the above said things are bothering me a lot.
I hope someone from XDA can assist me with this.
P.S.: I have tried to clear the cache from the boot screen. Also did a test on graphics from the same menu.

Thanks for your reply! I hope somebody facing similar problems has overcome and provide suggestions.
But Sammobile blog has also confirmed these issues.
II havent faced any of these issues post update.
Did you try doing a factory reset? If not, try the same if its not too much of an issue for you.
I have the same but I updated today over mobile data.
Came home and it started to behave like described above.
So I figured it is something with the updated WiFi drivers.
Switched off Wi-Fi and all seems fine now.

No I didn't do factory reset as I have checked from other forums that factory reset is not helping, the new update is broken.

Also one more question I don't know if it's my phone or everyone is facing this issue. Whenever I switch on VoLTE calls (Screenshot Attached) my phone temperature increases and battery drains.

So, you're saying only the ppl that took the OTA are facing the issues? In that case i will probably try that then if the bug returns for me.
For now after switching WiFi On/Off for me it is gone.
Seen reports that plugging in the charger does the same.
Weird stuff indeed.
Also now i see a fellow Dutch, you by any change using Rabobank stuff (Wallet/App) with tripped KNOX and have no problems with it?

No, its possible that some users who do flash a rom with Odin could face some issues too but i personally don`t. I`am using the ABN bank app and i haven`t rooted for a long time now. I used to do it because of theming and getting updates/upgrades but nowadays i personaly don`t see a reason anymore to root anymore. So i can`t help you with your question.
I happened to flash "ASE5" build two ways :
1. First using ODIN 2 days back . Did a factory reset ,erased cache in recovery, reinstalled all apps & after setting them up:-
issues faced -> None.
2. Went back to previous "ASD5" build, downloaded the "ASE5 OTA" update and installed. Did a factory reset, erased cache in recovery, reinstalled all apps & after setting them up:-
issues faced so far -> None.
*One glitch I'm noticing from the beginning with "ASE5" :
When I click on my apps & games(playstore app>drop down menu on the left), it freezes for a split second while it takes into the main page. With all my effort, I could not fix it. (App cache cleaning only temporarily fixes this).

A split second delay bothers you? What apps are running in the background? Do you have the FaceBook app installed? How did you set your animations?

No it does not "bother"but is a step back in smoothness if that counts. It's a "difference" that I noticed since I was testing both builds back and forth for a comparison. Rest be assured that it's not related to apps installed and animations set.

Erase playstore cache and you won't even notice it for a while only to re-appear after sometime.
"Less noticiable" and "very much noticiable" in my usage in 1x & .5x respectively. In ASD5 build, this transition slips like a soap.
