Very annoying bug on 4.0.3 LPY (not found in other topics)

Hallo guys, i just flashed N7000XXLPY via ODIN. Everything worked well but I have one big issue (that wasn't discussed in "bugs" thread).
Whatever I select, Swipe Unlock, Face recognition, Draw pattern, PIN code or whatever, it reacts the same: never requires swipe, PIN, pattern or else for unlocking. If i press briefly the power button, the display light switchs off. If I press again any other button (volume, home or power), the display light turns on but never asks for any method of unlocking. What to do? Does anyone else have the same issue?

Not happening here. Try a hard-reset after flashing a new ROM.
I have swipe unlock by default and it works. Screen does not power on when you press volume button, only if you press power or home button.

Thanks vcespon for your quick response. I tried hard reset via "Volume UP + Home + Power" method, I wiped cache, I tried hard reset via changing the CSC, I restored it to factory settings from menu, nothing worked. Any other oppinion?
LE: I found another issue, maybe is related with the first one. When I want to switch off the phone, I press (for 2 seconds) the power button and it just go to Samsung logo and swhitches off, without asking me those two questions about what I want to do (to can choose beetween flight mode, silent and power off) and if I'm sure that I want to power off the phone.
LE2: Tryed also Indian version (N7000DDLP8), no improvements.

Thanks for the advice, I won't do it in the future till a safe official Kernel will be released.
Any solve to the issue that I have?

Hello Sir
Sir i am facing the same problem i have bought galaxy not n7000 and the problem i am facing is i have updated it to official ics indian rom and now i am not able to activate screen lock function and if i hold the lock buttton for 2-3 seconds the phone gets switched off, is it because of the kernel problem or anything else, i tried giving it to the samsung store but they dint fixed it. P.S i was not able to update my mobile through Kies as it said "this device can not be updated through kies" please help...

I just found a fast way to fix this problem.
1. Root your device.
2. Use this solution:
Download from Market "Terminal Emulator"
Open it and type this commands:
su
echo -n ON > /efs/imei/keystr
sync
reboot
100% works !

Problem with Volume Button, Software or Hardware?

Hello! Got a problem with my Galaxy S 4. Removed T-Mobile brand, flashed the stock ROM MH5 and unlocked the device by code.
Do not know if the problem existed before, at least following phenomenon occurs: after a certain time (depending on how long the battery was out - more on that below) the volume down button no longer responds - initially Vol button respnds normally, suddenly the volume turns down and I can only press volume up, volume down does not respond anymore - when I reboot the device, it always boots in the mode where I can push vol up to install a custom Rom or volume down for restart - but neither Vol up nor Vol down respond. If I restart the device with volume up + Home + Power button, I can not get into recovery but in Safe Mode.
Only when I take out the battery and wait (approx half an hour), the unit boots normally and the error occurs again after some time...
I also made a factory reset - no success. Somebody knows this phenomenon? Thank you.

Maybe

Try replacing the battery with a different one then see if it works. if not do this:
Download the stock MH5 ROM from SAMMOBILE
Open Odin
Flash this ROM with Odin
make sure that only Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are the only options ticked
I personally havent had this problem but it might help
EDIT: This sounds like a software issue but if it keeps happening it may infact be a hardware issue with the device itself

Thanks, but I already flashed Stock MH5 and now MH7 T-Mobile branded - when the device is off for about an hour, the S4 boots normally and the Volume up and down works fine, two minutes later Vol down doesn´t respond anymore...it´s weird

I still don´t belive it - tried the battery from a mate´s S4 - mine works fine again, no Vol button errors or startup problems...can somebody explain this to me...crazy ****...

Issues with System Update

I have a strange issue with System Uupdate and am not sure if it's causeing my phone to be buggy.
If I check my System Updates Tab I get Last System Update: "Software not updated to G935VVRU2APB5" Failed - Mar 29 2016....error code 454
If I then go and check for new system update, I get "Your Samsung ....is up to date. No update is necessary at this time."
If I then check System update history I see "Software updated to G935VVRS2APB4 Mar 19, 2016..."
However when i check about phone my Baseband version is G935VVRU2APB5.
Anyone know what do I do to get this cleared up?
Thanks!

Since there's not really a way that I've seen to wipe cache without root, (you do have ADB but even with we don't have access to those partitions) (to the best of my knowledge) so unfortunately a factory reset is more than likely your only option.

This happened to me also. Glad I'm not the only one.

You can wipe the cache by powering off the phone and then holding down the Volume Up, Home, and Power button until the phone vibrates. Let go of the power button but continue to hold the others. Use the volume buttons to scroll down to "Wipe Cache Partition" and press the Power button.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the tip. I hate to have to do all this without root. Have a good day!

turbo 2 clear cache partition android 7.0 nougat

Hi -
searched in vain for an answer to this, but how do you clear the cache partition on a turbo 2 running android 7.0 nougat? The instructions for Android 6.0 are all I can find and they don't work. They did work when my phone was on 6.0, but something has changed in the procedure.
TIA

Procedure is the same to get to the recovery menu as it was on MM. It can be tricky to get the timing right.

There seems to be one difference:
Android Version 6.0 (Marshmallow) Steps
Power off the device and unplug it.
Press and hold the Volume Down button. While still holding Volume Down button, press and release the Power button.
Press and release the Volume Down button until you reach Recovery Mode.
Press and release the Power button to select Recovery Mode. The device will restart. An image of an Android robot with a red exclamation mark will appear.
Press and hold the Power button, press the Volume Up button once and then release the Power button.
Edit: ^^^^ this last step didn't work for me, I had to press Volume Down button to get the next sreen to show up
Use the Volume buttons to scroll to Wipe Cache Partition and press the Power button to select it. If an additional confirmation screen appears, use the Volume buttons to scroll to Yes and the Power button to select it.
Once the cache wipe has completed, press the Power button to select Reboot System Now.

Using Volume Up worked for me for my Droid Turbo 2.

Thanks. It works for me.

i saw this issue in couple of threads. To all --> go to recovery and make wipe! several times fixes this issue. i guess you have to keep doing 3 or 4 times unless the issue is fixed, other method is very long

it worked for me

Not sure if it would help but I decided to restore to factory settings. I lost all my data on the phone that wasn't backed up but the phone is working again. In fact, the restore didn't work all the way as it threw an error, but when I rebooted, it came back to life with Android 9!
This is how I did it....
1. Make sure the phone is powered off. If it isn't, press and hold the volume up button and the power button until the screen closes. then release your hold.
2. Connect the phone to the charger and wait till you see the charging screen (a big battery icon with a percentage).
3. Press and hold the volume up button and the power button for exactly 10 seconds and release. After 2-5 seconds you should see a new screen with an android saying "no command". If you don't see the new screen you either released too early or too late. repeat steps 1-3.
4. Hold the power button and press the volume up button once. and release. This should take you to recovery mode.
5. Scroll using the volume buttons and select factory reset using the power button and confirm.
This should reset your phone.
