Capacitive Touch Button Lights still on when G900F turned off - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone else has this issue.
When I turn my phone off from Android it will not turn off. It gets stuck with a black screen and the lights on the bottom left on.
Howver, if I boot it into recovery and power it off that way I have no issues...
I am using AICP (7.1.1) but this issue happened on Lineage 14.1 also.
I reeeeeally don't want Touchwiz near my phone ever again so if anyone has a solution other than trying to see if it's fine on stock TW rom then all help would be grateful.
Cheers

Its a quirk with AOSP roms, happened to me too when i was on Lineage 14.1 but don't worry nothing's wrong
the bad part is it takes long before the phone fully shuts off, the only solution is a battery pull if you don't wanna wait that long

Oh brilliant! I water damaged it slightly (rubber seal on bottom getting old) and it wouldn't charge for a while. I happened to notice this issue after and thought maybe I'd f***ed it up. All is well it seems! :laugh:

[Q] How to wake up the phone when out of the pocket ?

Hi there !
I search for a mod for CM 11 (Nightly or stable) that would wake the phone when I take it out of my pocket. I don't need the "active display", I just need the phone to wake when I open its case or take it out of my pocket (something that would detect light).
I think there is probably a mod for that, but as I don't speak English very well (as you noticed) I can't find it.
Could anyone help me ?
Thanks !

there isn't a mod for that. and that would be terrible for battery. the phone would never go into deep sleep, it would stay awake, waiting for a go from a sensor.

I used Carbon Rom for a while, it has this feature (with Active Display) and my battery didn't yell at me ^^
For those who want something like that, I've finally found a very nice app : Gravity Screen. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plexnor.gravityscreenofffree&hl=fr
Works great !
It works really good, thank you :*

ROMs and Modems

Hi everyone,
I had been running LiquidSmooth 3.1 for several weeks with great results. I thought I would try something else for fun, and flashed a Google Edition ROM by Danvdh. It was not to my liking and I quickly went back to LiquidSmooth - however now I am finding I have very poor signal strength. I no longer receive signal in my garage, or at work, or even in my living room where this was previously never an issue. Right now I am sitting at my computer beside a large window, and I have LTE connection. By the time I have finished typing this post, I have no connection
I have now upgraded to LiquidSmooth 3.2 but the issue remains. I will lose my connection to Rogers and when I go to Mobile Network Settings > Network Operators it only sometimes finds a connection.
Is there any way I can test my antenna or flash a Rogers/Canada modem that might help with this?
Well this is interesting...let me provide some background info.
A few weeks back I broke the screen on my S4. I purchased a screen replacement on ebay for $120, but it was for an i9500 which has a few very small differences, and required taking an xacto knife to some plastic moulding to accommodate some different IC clearance. That worked great, but I noticed that my screen was constantly black when on a phone call - as if my proximity sensor was always detecting 'near'. Sure enough, I used an app to confirm this - and this is common after screen replacements with non-OEM screens. A fix for this is to put a small strip of electrical tape between the two proximity sensors so they can better detect a 'difference'. Put the phone together, and this worked great, my phone now properly detected proximity, I felt like a champion, so I wanted to flash a new ROM.........now read post 1.
I've attached a screen recording I took of it just dropping connection...and reconnecting, almost flickering in and out. It seems to average about -120dbm (10%), but I'm not sure whats normal. It seems to drop connection around -130dbm.
I've been able to flash a new modem I337MVFLUFNI2 but my issue still exists. Is it possible that I physically damaged parts of the antenna when replacing the screen? I am very confident working with electronics and there doesn't seem to be any physical damage that I can see
When using Danvdh GPE rom you have to manually select LTE from access point menu. Did you do this?
---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------
I would suggest you flash back to stock fw to your current boot loader. Of its mdj current then flash back to mdj stock via Odin. You have a miss match of hardware and perhaps a mismatch of uuids is your issue?

Then re-upgrade just modem. Be Sir to do this all with aim card out and no WiFi or else when on stock you may auto upgrade to Knox boot loader !

That sounds like a great idea. I found this thread that says my default would be I337MVLUEMK6 (is this my bootloader version?) . I went to samsung updates and found my phone the SGH-I337M with the MK6 and am downloading it currently. Will this flash my bootloader/ROM/everything back to stock? Or will I have to find a stock ROM as well?
I have selected LTE from my APN menu.
Attached are a couple screenshots of the Network Signal Info app I downloaded which has been a great resource. You can see that at some points I jump from great signal to no signal, almost instantly. I believe that this might be due to something that happened when I swapped my screen - perhaps a grounding issue of some sort....researching how to troubleshoot this as well.
Thanks for stopping by my thread :highfive:

Bluetooth Issue with Cyanogenmod 12.1 optimized on S4 ???

I can't seem to find an answer...I tried posting on the JDC Team thread but it goes so fast, I think it has been passed over.
I am having a problem with Bluetooth. Within the last couple days (not sure when it actually happened) I can no longer activate the Bluetooth toggle. When I try it, it thinks for a second or two and then nothing...if I reboot and try and activate it, it moves to the on position but within 10 seconds it switches back off.
Is this a new problem? What is weird is on my wife's phone it is working fine. I am using the jflte version of the Optimized CM 12.1 by JDC Team..
If this is a known problem, please advise what I can do to fix as I want to be able to use the Bluetooth in the car.
Thanks in advance.

Probably hardware failure.

I don't think so. My bluetooth was perfect and fine with touchwiz 4.4.2 GNG8 rom. Now with CM12.1 "optimized" is not usable at all.
I still need to find any alternative rom because it's a big issue for me.

I reasearched a bit on this topic.
I flashed XXUHOD7 bootloader and modem and now bluetooth it's not crashing anymore:

I'll try it with my helmet headset tomorrow and I'll let you know.
Did you fix your Bluetooth with the new bootloader and modem?

I had a similar problem where I would try and turn on my bluetooth, and it would immediately switch off, almost like it couldn't find the hardware.
I fixed it by disabling System Profiles in Settings. The currently active profile said "turn bluetooth off", which I think was disabling it. Rebooted with no profiles and bluetooth seems to be fine.

Flashlight and flash mostly didn't work

On stockfirmware the flashlight and also the flash didn't work most of the time (battery >90%).
Only sometimes when connected to the powersupply it works.
When it works and I switch on the flashlight with connected powersupply and then I disconnect the powersupply, the flashlight is still on and can't be switched off.
First I have to connect the powersupply again and then I can switch off the flashlight.
I allready did a complete wipe, but it won't be better.
Same here, flashlight works most of the time tho, but flashlight on camera never works, it´s grayed out.
Did you report the bug?

I reported that bug now here: http://community.cyngn.com/t/some-m...lash-flashlight-poor-wifi-back-button-led/208
feel free to jump in there and post something yourself, the more people the better
I have noticed that the flash would only work if you use "Automatic" mode. In all other modes, the flash is greyed out.

I reported the excel-calendar-bug.
I'm a bit frustrated, because it seems nothing happens
Over a week without any update, but more and more bugs are reported, and the company/support doesn't give any feedback or even react on emails or reply on the cyanogen-community-board
It's really sad, because I think it could be really a great device, but it seems ZUK doesn't have any type of support.
If soon nothing happens, I will send it back and this was my first and last try with this company.
Anyone with the solution of camera flashlight.

Shutdowns and now Reset - phone hacked?

So my phone started shutting down randomly every few days.
This morning I picked it from charger, it was hot and again shut down, after turning it on, in booted into initial set up and I lost most of the settings.
WTF?
Is it just that xiaomi is such a ****ty phone or is it hacked or something?
Not even asus zenfone 6 has this bad software.
HW fault ? My phone works perfect!
it worked for 14 days without reboot etc. now I don't trust it at all

Wow... so you didn't unlock the bootloader or did any customisations like lspeed, fde or custom kernel or ANYTHING??
You should contact Xiaomi ASAP about this.
If you have installed quite a few apps it may be one of them?
Getting my Mi 9T soon but that sucks bro
---------- Post added at 09:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 PM ----------
It was hot while charging overnight? Either this is a faulty unit or there's some rogue app that you need to get rid of.
Nothing like that, well yesterday I clicked few times on 10 image in miui updater to see if there is any animation like lollipop etc had. That is about it.
I think it was hot because it reinstalled-partly the whole system
Also I don't think app should have this much access on unrooted system anyways
