[Q] Anybody have this issue where the screen of your Acer just turns on by itself?

Hey I have an Acer Iconia a500 tab, and I just recently rooted and flashed my tab and I love it. Now the issue is that every time I press the sleep mode (turn off button) The tab goes to sleep, and every few seconds the tab turns the screen on by itself. It's very frustrating and a nuisance. Please can anybody advise or help me with this? It'll be greatly appreciated, also I can donate if anything Thanks again!

IT's caused by one of your apps that you have installed. Who knows which one though, your the one that installed them.

What did you flash your tab with? Which ROM?

Yep, I agree. You have an app that keeps waking the screen. Should be easy to find. Just turn off your notifications/updates one at a time till you catch the culprit.
Or, you can connect ADB, run a shell window, and run a logcat. Check it right after the tab wakes, and see what caused it. Logcat will continue to run till you kiil the window, or disconnect the tab.
It;s pretty normal though for a tab to wake briefly for a second after it goes to sleep. Just not all the time.

Thanks for your reply. I have Flexreaper for the ROM, when you say "what did I flash my tab with" what exactly do you mean?

Is there any instructions on how to do that? P.S You're definitely right about that one, cause my tab keeps on doing this. It's really of annoyance by now. Also I know this might be a bit off topic, but does your tab run external HDD without any issues?

There is an application "soft locker" in market. Its free. Even I was having same problem but after installing this application I got my problem solved.
It protects tab from getting in dead sleep state but also help with your problem.

And it will also drain battery much quicker because the tablet won't go into sleep mode.
If I had to choose I would choose screen turning on from time to time as this would have much less impact on battery that not letting it go to deep sleep for whole night.

Enter recovery/bootloader on LG Watch Urbane LTE (AW2.0)

Morning everyone,
Thank you for the curiosity in knowing what I require support in and I hope someone out there can help me resolve it.
I currently have an LG Watch Urbane LTE with AT&T And a couple of days ago I Installed Android wear 2.0 on the device.
Everything was working great until I started disabling system apps, one of which included Ambient mode.
As a result, my watch is now glitching. Every time I turn it on, the watch flickers as if it's trying to stay awake. I cannog access apps unless it's the Google assistant (not OK Google) and looking online for a solution hasn't been helpful.
Hell, I don't even know If it's even possible to access the recovery menu manually through buttons. In any case, the software side is definitely not working and attempting to unpaired the device with my android phone did nothing, the watch didn't allow m to confirm anything. Same goss for ADB.
Any type of support would be appreciated, last resort would be to contact LG and send the device in for repairs.

Did you enable developer mode so you can connect your watch to a computer and use adb to reboot to the bootloader (thus flash android wear 2.0 again)?

Not really, however I managed to fix it.
It was a pain, but thankfully I didn't give up!

Well what did you do to fix it. Someone may need the solution later. So please post what you did to resolve this.

Long press the mid button for several seconds to force restart your watch,when the LG logo appears,quickly slide screen from upper left to lower right corner,then it will get into fastboot menu,which means you could make a factory reset. (Chinese student poor English)

Get data from broken phone via mobile data or WiFi

Hello guys
I have got a phone (Samsung J5 (2016)) which after some mysterious action broke it's UI.
When I boot it up, the first thing that shows up is a message saying: Unfortunately, System UI has stopped.
If I press OK, it keeps showing up for a few times until the screen goes black or the background image flashes but no icons appear and no reaction to any button or touch gesture.
So resetting the phone would most likely fix the problem, but at first I would like to back up stuff from the phone.
So my question is whether someone knows if there is an app out there which I can install via Google Play Store that allows me to access the data?
What I can think of is maybe the app setting up a web server or enabling USB Debugging or any other way to communicate with the phone?
Also an MDM solution is enrolled on the phone and still synchronizing with the server so basic things do still work (no, unfortunately Sophos MDM has no ability to grab data from the phone) and I could install an app also via the MDM.
Thanks in advance...
...and no, I'm not a robot

Mate 9 Pro Oreo: lock screen problem

Hallo friends,
I updated my Huawei Mate 9 Pro Lon-L29-C432 to 8.0.0.366 (Oreo).
I purchased it in Denmark and use it with a German Sim-card. After some discussions with Huawei Support, that this will not work, I had to use FF to get the upgrade.
At least all went well, but:
=> Meanwhile I realized one problem:
- To get the start screen I push the button and no lock screen appears only black screen.
- I have to push the button 4 times to get the home screen.
Any one else have this unusual behavier???
Is any necessary update or circumvention available??
Greetings Konrad

Hi Konrad,
I have the exact same problem with my phone.
Updated to 8.0.0.368 yesterday, but that did not solve the issue...
I would love to hear from you if you manage to get the problem to go away.
It is allmost makes me want another phone as this very annoying...
Best regards - Brian

Hallo Brian, I did not find a solution up to now, Konrad

Do you use the "always on" feature? Try to turn it off.

Thanks radek.p,
- I turned the 'allways on' off, it worked without a lock screen.
- I locked it with a password, it worked.
- I deleted the password and it works with lockscreen without password.
Problem solved! Konrad

Yeah it's a bug with the always on feature.. Stupid Huawei..

But its all correct now, only by a new assignment of the lock screen...
So no problem with Huawei.

OP8 Pro is not able to connect to my WearOS watch (Fossil Sport)

Hey guys, I have a new OP8 Pro and tried to connect it to my Fossil Sport smartwatch. The problem is that I am not even able to connect it. I did a factory reset on my watch and started the linking process in the wearOS app. Everything works fine until I select the my watch to connect. My phone asks me the check the code (it matches to the one on my watch) and after pressing pair, the phone continues with the process but the watch keeps telling me that my phone wants to connect and shows me the bt connect code. After 1/6 of the "getting informations from your watch" the app doesnt do sh*t anymore. I noticed that that the bt connection to my watch is disconnecting and connecting again and again but doesnt stay connected.
My troubleshooting is exactly Pike this redet post: https://amp.reddit.com/r/WearOS/comments/f20lxm/oneplus_7t_and_fossil_sport_not_connecting_help/
Unfortunely there isnt a solution to the problem. So maybe here is someone who had the same issue
I tried connecting my watch to another phone and it works perfectly so it is definitely a problem with my OP8.
Glad about any help. Thanks a lot!
Greetings
Marcel

I use a Fossil Sport, and had this same issue when I originally set mine up. I wish I had a better answer, but I just tried and tried again until it worked. Between each attempt I cleared everything I could think of. Reset the watch, cleared google play services cache, cleared wear os app cache, reinstalled the wear os app, manually removed the watch from bluetooth settings, reset network settings, I'm probably forgetting some things, but it did eventually connect. Frustrating, and I'm sorry I don't remember exactly what fixed it, but the good news is it will eventually work.

I don't have a sport but I have a gen 5 and there was no issue and I have had to reset and reconnect a couple times.
Best of luck!

I have a gen 5 and the devices are connect because i receive the notify but on the top of the smartwatch there is the cloud of the no connection... I think therr are some problem with the bluetooth of this phone

Thank you very mich for the reply. I've already done that at least 20 times, but at least there is hope that it will eventually work one time/day. Really frustrating and I hope they will fix this soon so when I have to reset my phone someday I will at least not have this problem again. :silly:

Okay guys it finally worked. Im not sure why, didnt do anything else but reinstalling, deleting chache and data of WearOS and Google play Services and resetting my watch. I can only imagine that it was because the languages of my phone and my watch didnt match. My phone is in english and I set my watch to german. It worked when I set up my watch in english (GB). I really dont know if that really was the solution or if it was just luck this time because i tried english (US) before that and it didnt work. So to anyone who is having the same problem I hope I can help you with this and hang on... I'll work sometime

Did you try changing the WearOS App's battery setting to not optimise and lock it in the background?

I have changed it already to "not optimized", but haven't locked it in the background tho.. need to try that too. Quite annoying.
