[Q] Slimport causing sleep of death on 4.3?

Does anyone else experience the sleep of death bug (akin to what happened with Netflix) after having connected your HDTV through Slimport for a short while? It seems to happen regardless of what I'm doing on my phone, just having it connected for a short moment will cause it.
This is on stock Android 4.3 (JWR66V), whereas it was working just fine for me on 4.2. My phone is rooted, but there's nothing running that requires root access while this problem occurs.
Also, I'm using the "official" Slimport adapter, i.e. the only one that existed for quite a while.
Would hate having to send my phone back in, but alas that's what I'll do if it's just affecting me.

I've the same issues since 4.3 Everything was fine before with 4.2.2. When i unplug slimport from nexus4 i cant activate display anymore.
This hapepns sometimes after cahring, too.
So i think your device is ok, just an 4.3 fault like many other bugs

Thanks for the reply. So I'm not completely alone with this!
But I do find it odd that I could not find any existing discussion of this topic elsewhere on the net.. are there just not that many people making use of the HDMI feature or is the majority of people simply unaffected by this problem?

I'm not sure. I've the same issue with charging. I misspelled this on my first post. Same situation, unplug charging cable and i can't activate the display. I found a workaround for this issue, I unplug it only when the display is on. The latest OTA doesn't fix it. Maybe we should create a bug report on googles bug tracker.

There is a thread about this issue in Googles mobile support forum. You should post there, too. So maybe we get more attention about this serious problem. I can't post links yet, search for: "After 4.3 Android updated, the Nexus 4 always shuts off randomly !!! HELP!!!"

I'm having this issue with my Nexus 7 II. Very annoying, can't watch a movie without it disconnecting. Any fix for this?

Currently not, I hope that Kitkat will fix this

I'm having the same problem on 4.4
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance

Same here on 4.4 but it only happens when my photo is low on charge.
E.G when there's low charge slimport works o.k but when I unplug it the phone dies and requires me to push the power button for 10 seconds to get the photo to work again.

Maybe we should dump Logcat to get the reason why it dies. It tried it several times but with no luck. When i received System log ouputs via adb, the phone doesn't die.

Annoying little bugs in 4.3

OK guys. Enough for me.
I've been pretty happy with my Nexus device since 4.2. Despite very few minor bugs it had been running absolutely fine.
Then the 4.3 update came and totally, pardon my French, sc***ed everything up.
First of all, the overall experience. Scrolling got much smoother for me. Secondly, that's all.
What got 'broken' was definitely the overall smoothness of the UI. For example, when I click an option in the Settings menu, it takes much longer time for the bluish color that indicates the click to disappear. It isn't only in Settings though. What's more, the click sound is somehow 'laggy'. What I mean by that is when I click something there's a noticeably greater amount of time needed for the sound to be triggered than it was in 4.2.2.
Also, the widgets drawer looks just bizzare for me. Some strange black boxes started to appear since 4.3 update (attachment).
Today, the stock YouTube app got unbearably laggy when scrolling through the list of searched movies.
But today Android has gone full retard. Just look at one of screenshots in attachments; surprisingly enough, the YouTube widget thumbnail looks like... the volume slider!
I've tried clearing data, cache, force stopping the YouTube app, even uninstalling it and going back to stock (+turning it off completely). If I go to stock app, then the thumbnail is fine. But as soon as I update the app... the same thing happens.
Also, while writing this, I noticed that my phone discharged by around 4% despite being plugged to a charger (in AC mode).
Seriously, this isn't an experience I was expecting from a Nexus device, a phone that should be a model for any other Android smartphone.
I wish I could go back to 4.2.2.

It's possible to go back to 4.2.
You just need to download the factory image from Google and flash with fastboot.
But you might try a factory reset before that to see if that solves the problem.

Bump.
Really no one has ever seen such a bizzare OS behavior?
Also, I am not in favor of wiping my device as I have lots of precious personal data stored in it.

I think also that a factory reset may help you.
I think that something went wrong with the update.

WhatsApp card notification

My Moto360 has started not displaying a card notification when receiving a message via WhatsApp. All other notifications are vibrating and switching on the display with card, but WhatsApp it just vibrates.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installting whatsapp, tried re-syncing the apps, but WhatsApp continues not to switch the screen on ... any ideas?

You haven't blocked whatsapp from showing notifications on your 360? Its easily done by accident. You might have swiped then clicked on block this app. If you go into your wear settings, then blocked apps, check to see whatsapp isnt there.
Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Nope, checked that .. nothing in the Blocked Apps. The phone vibrates, so it is getting the notification, but unlike all the other apps which vibrate and switch the screen on, this just vibrates. When I wake the screen, the notification is shown

Yeh, sorry, when I re-read your post I realised you couldn't have whatsapp in the blocked list if you are getting the vibration. #facepalm ?.
I had a similar issue with not receiving cards for my outlook work emails on a different device to my 360 a while back, it turned out to be an app I had used to set a custom vibration pattern for my outlook notifications. Im guessing that if you had a similar app installed you would have checked that.. also Im sure you would have tried a restart of your 360..
I think the problem is with your 360 as your phone is clearly pushing the notification to your 360 if you are getting the vibration. I know an app resync usually fixes most issues but as you've tried that what about a factory reset of your moto 360? I know its a bit drastic but I don't know what else to suggest.
Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Tried a reset as well ... the funny (annoying part), is that the screen on notification did work for a while, and then just suddenly stopped, withouth me installing anything, so not so sure it is an issue with the Moto 360, as all other notifications pop up ..... WhatsApp is the only one that does not

Yeh thats really odd. Maybe someone else will have a suggestion that can fix it. What version of the 360 do you have? Ive got the smaller mens 2015 version. I'm at the end of my tether with it tbh for other reasons. The lag on the the device is so bad for me its virtually unusable by the end of my working day. Im gonna sell it and get the watch urbane instead.
Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

I have the 1st Gen, and to be honest I am more than happy with it, even with the outdated processor in there, don't really get that much lag with it .... and taking it off charge at 7 in the morning, and putting back on around 10pm ... still gettng about 40%+ battery left.
Surprised the 2nd gen (2015) version that you are having lags with it, have heard it was supposed to be rock solid
What other issues you having?

I get "android wear has stopped working" at least twice a day. Which means it can crash without me knowing so i miss notifications and calls throughout the day. Thats my biggest gripe at the moment. Then the lag progressively gets worse throughout the day, the only way i can fix it is to do a reboot but at its worst it can take 2-3 minutes for me to get into settings then another few minutes for each option in settings to load before i can choose restart device. I tried a factory restore last night but its already crashed 3 times today..
When i compare it to my other smart watch my 360 doesn't have that 60fps smoothness when navigating the interface. I did read that if you disable ambient then the lag isnt so bad but i like having ambient on.
I'm planning on making a YouTube video of how bad it is over weekend.

I initially had the android wear stopping issue with mine, what I tried was a reset of the watch, removed all pairing with the phone, and then installed an older version of Android Wear .. think it was 1.1 (do a search on google, you will find a load of links). Then reset my watch up to the phone .... but .... tried running on Android Wear 1.1 for a few days, and it was stable. I then upgraded the Android Wear 1.4 through the Play Store (make sure to disable auto update, whilst testing, otherwise off it will go), and mine has been rock solid

Thanks for the reply. I think I'll try out your suggestion now. Need my watch working, I've come to really rely on my watch for notifications as I can't have my phone on during working hours. It got so bad today with the lag and crashes I had to use my Razer Nabu instead of my Moto360.
Fingers crossed, I'll let you know how it goes [emoji106]

The 2nd Gen really should not be that bad, as said, I have the 1st Gen and to be honest, hardly any lag, so hope this workaround works for you

As the moto 360 2015 doesn't have a cable, its wireless charging only, how would you reflash a previous version of wear? Im kinda stumped lol
Last night I did another factory reset and i uninstalled a lot of apps that i didn't want running on my moto. Some apps seem to have a companion wear app for their mobile equivalent that automatically install.. Well ive taken a lot of crap off and i have seemed to have fixed the stability issue. Also i can use my device albeit with a small amount of lag. This i can live with for now, it seems that moto knows about "always on" causing lag on some devices. I'll hold out for an update to fix it [emoji106] [emoji3]

Ah, should have said .. it is not Android Wear on the watch, but the companion android wear on the phone that I installed an older version. Don't believe you can actually change the version on the actual watch
I have ambient mode off, wifi off (dont really see the point) and tilt to wake off ... as it kept coming on when I changed gear in the car lol

install quick for wear

i know it's an old thread, but i still have the problem in android wear 2.0.
whatsapp notifications are extremely unreliable. it's like the developers do every single thing their own way.
i set my watch to show notifications until i swipe it away or down, the very few times whatsapp actually shows the notification it goes away after a few seconds.
the notifications do work, as i can manually swipe to the notifications and they're there. they just refuse to show automatically.
i'm not a heavy user, so i get few notifications of which most of them are from whatsapp. so my watch functions more like a normal watch.

Whattsapp issues wear 2.0
I too get a buzz but no card till I manually swipe up anyone managed to fix this whattsapp support are useless auto gen email each time

I use Quickpic for wallpaper so no issue.
-when open camera the brightness will turn to max
That seems to be default behavior and not a bug.
-scrolling sometimes quite weird
Scrolling seems to be smooth. I have changed animation to .5X.
-multitouch bugs
Do not have this issue.
-typing will feel alittle bit delay or lag sometimes..?
Yes, this seems to be the issue.
-geature like double tap to wake and swipe to wake is not working(require to off the geature and on agn then working)
Yes, I can confirm this bug.
-recovery mode is missing in action...
Can you elobrate this? I have TWRP and that works fine.
-charging quite little slow..
My phone take 3 hours to charge fully from 10%. Seems to be same as previous version. Try restarting the phone before putting it for charging, it may help.

Q) wallpaper does not working once u want to change ur wallpaper
A) For me, changing wallpapers works like a charm. I haven't tried live wallpapers.
Q) when open camera the brightness will turn to max
A) This is the norm for a lot of apps. One prominent example is Open Camera.
Q) scrolling sometimes quite weird
A) No problem here.
Q) multitouch bugs
A) I have this issue. When playing games like Batman (tell tale), PUBG, etc. the touch does not respond correctly.
Q) typing will feel alittle bit delay or lag sometimes..?
A) No issues here.
Q) geature like double tap to wake and swipe to wake is not working (require to off the geature and on agn then working)
A) Confirmed.
Q) recovery mode is missing in action...
A) If you're talking about the switch off menu, I can't confirm this. I have never had the reboot to recovery option.
Q) charging quite little slow..
A) Seems okay to me. 2.5-3 hours from 5-100% battery.
Another bug that I have encountered is that some apps do not work on WiFi connection. The ones I can confirm are Twitter, PhonePe and Amazon Music. They work just fine on mobile data.

live wallpaper doesnt work since .305 update still not fixed in .309 update

I also am having multi touch issue. The screen flickers when I use both fingers to play PUBG Mobile. When will it be fixed ? Any method to fix it without root or harming future OTA updates ?

I have this issue too and I think this is considered a serious problem that Asus need to fix ASAP. A phone with multi-touch issue is really unusable especially when playing games which this phone is catered for. Is there an official Asus site that we file our complain?

ROM + Kernel or other software combo to prevent battery drain while on video call?

Hi. Is there any rom + kernel combo or any other software related way to get the battery to charge while on video calls or at least hold the charge? I'm using WhatsApp/Messenger while charging and the battery goes down still. It doesn't happen to me on my Mi A2 or Nexus 5X. Is it just a CPU issue? Thanks.

in which ROM you're facing this?

I'm facing it in any nougat+ rom or higher. Both stock and custom. I'm trying to find a decent marshmallow rom other than stock (cause camera freezes on my side only during calls). I found Chroma but opening WhatsApp sometimes causes Reboot.
Edit: Is it just me or does the search function not work anymore. I'm trying to find any mentions of stuff in specific threads and I always get no results; even when I'm literally on a page that mentions it. :/
