When I try to use it five minutes in the touch seems to be messing up, its selecting by itself, going to my navigation bar and then does a swipe down gesture on my status bar also seems to be tapping keys on my keyboard by itself
I recently upgraded to android 5.1
Has anyone had this issue, its annoying as its my daily driver

Does anyone know how to stop the Today screen activating when the device turns off/on? I often turn my Nike off when I need to do something else for a moment and I'd like to be able to immediately return to what I was doing without going to the Today screen and then into the Start Menu. Even worse if it's something under Settings I have to go through the menus.
I don't understand very well the problem, do you mean that, when you are in any screen, turn off the screen and turn on again it's in the Today screen?.
In my device that doesn't happens, if i turn off/on the screen, the device remains in the application, form, etc.. that I was.
Mine does the same as the guy above me .. only using sliding actions i go back to today screen
btw since I've installed sliding actions .. my phone connects to internet everytime I receive message or have had a phone call
dekoning, I used to have the Today screen activate on slide as well. I use Slide Actions to disable all slide actions. It didn't take the first time, but after a few tries it now is working perfectly.
After using MortPlayer, I've figured out that the Today screen is activated whenever the screen turns on.
carlosmozas, what ROM version are you using?
I had to hard-reset my device at the beginning of the year and this issue was gone. But it came back! It started happening last weekend, I don't have a clue what I changed to cause this.
I don't want to hard-reset again!

Maybe setting up device new and creating a backup (Sprite Backup or similar) is faster than locating the problem itself
guys yesterday i was browsing the net and my HD switched off, im was using Duttys 3.4, i thought there maybe a problem with the rom so i switch to onkologs latest rom now the problem has started all over again! is there some settings or something i can go to to fix it? the phones useless if this keeps happening, its happened again while writing this!
THINK ITS FIXED
go to setings - system - power - advanced
untick "turn off device if not used for"
seems to have worked

When you mean switching off do you mean phone actually turns off and you need to reboot or does the screen just darken and then go black?
If its the latter you will need to go to setiings > all settings > power > and adjust backlight/advanced screen settings.

Sorry to state the obvious, but have you checked battery status (i.we. no power in battery)? Or you may have a faulty battery. Try taking battery out and use usb cable plugged into socket (battery does not need to be in for this) to see if phone still switching off when on AC power instead of DC battery. If phone still switches off when on AC you will know its not a battery issue and maybe a rom related or hardware problem.
Let me know so we can narrow this down
batterys currently on 60%, im not sure what it is it only started when i flashed duttys 3.4, was thinking it might be a problem moving from 6.5 back to 6.1, but today flashed onologs 6.5 rom and after a while it started again, ive changed the power options in settings (2nd post) seems to have done the trick for now, wanted to ask though does changing the radios have any significance?

Generally speaking a new version of radio improves signal, reception, gps fix and battery consumption.
EDIT
I see you have changed 2nd post. Glad it worked. In future when you modify a post can you put a EDIT so when scanning threads its easier to see when someone has changed something. Thanx
When i was using 4.2.2 the wifi timer worked fine, i had it set to come on at a certain time and off, and it worked fine
Since updating to 4.3 i have set the same timer again (as i done a clean install of 4.3) and now every time it gets to the on time, i get a notification saying the wifi timer has started but the wifi it's self doesn't come on, when i look at my short cut tabs at the top the wifi one if off, even after the wifi timer says its started.
is this a known issue?

Hi.
I don't think this a known issue.
I'm using it myself and it works good in 4.2 and 4.3.
Does yr WIFI on yr device working without the timer?
Yes the Wi-Fi is working fine when I put it in myself, the timer just doesn't seem to be working in my phone, when it gets to the on time, I get a notification saying that the timer has come on but when I bring the notification bar down the Wi-Fi isn't turned on.

Strange..
U might want to re-install the firmware again.
Make sure to do clean wipe, wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache before reinstalling.
Other that that, some 3rd party apps u had installed might have prevented the WIFI timer to be activated (some apps are poorly made by the developers).
This is all I can I think of.
Hope that this may help u.

thanks for your replies, ive done a bit more testing with it and have found that if i have my phone on when the timer comes on then the wifi does connect, its when the flip case is closed and the phone screen is off it doesnt seem to come on.
also i have also found that everytime the timer comes on i get a security message saying an application attempted to access system on your device, this has been blocked..
the wifi timer is the built in one though and not a 3rd part app, so not sure why thats saying that.

Ok, that is normal when the screen is off, mate..
I read somewhere here that the security message is kinda bug by Samsung...
btw, are u using the original firmware?
If so, u will get that message.
Yes I'm using the original non rooted Rom, when I was 4.2.2 my Wi-Fi would also come on by timer even if the screen was off, that's why I was confused by it not coming on in 4.3
When in 4.2 I was using a rooted version, but decided to go official with 4.3
if i download the original fw and reinstall it with odin, will it wipe my apps / settings or will it keep them the same?

Since this morning, my S4 started to vibrate for half a second every few minutes.
I rebooted the phone twice already and there is no notification in the top bar.
The only way I can make it stop is to put the phone in the Airplane mode.
Is there anyway to find what apps is doing this ?
The phone is running latest offcial ROM + CF Auto Root and Nova free launcher.
Thank you
I might have the solution for you. If you go to your settings under My Phone scroll down to Accessibility click on it and scroll down to Vision and turn off Notification reminder You should be good from there. I dont know whats causing but thats what worked for me. Good Luck!

it was already OFF, thanks anyway.
BTW, I removed the Nova Launcher and everything is back to normal.
The problem came back a few minutes ago and I never reinstalled Nova.
Any other tips/suggestions ?

For some reason my screen won't shut off when I press the power button or by itself after any amount of time. I made sure all of the settings were set right that might keep it on. I know it's not hardware damage because I've pretty much never dropped it or handled it hard. The power button still works because it will get the turn off, restart, etc screen to go. Any idea how to fix it? I already did a factory reset.

Download wakelock detector and see which app is keeping your screen on.
Dialed that number, the dimming worked, but the sleep button didn't do anything. I'll try that app out and see what it says.
In my understanding *#0*# dialing is for hardware check, if sleep is not working from there means it has nothing to do with any app & better to take to service centre.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
It didn't do it until after I tried to change my boot screen. Know if that would do anything? No boot animations go off besides the galaxy note 3 one (no Tmobile or samsung animation, and no shut off animation). I also rooted it so would they still help me even though the knox counter is 0x1?
Any help? Using the wakelock app it says that system manager application is used a lot more than anything else. Not sure what it does.

Try to flash complete stock ROM & clear Data & Catch before & after flashing from recovery may HELP.
That fixed it. I'm not sure why I didn't already try that since it seems kinda obvious. Don't know what made it do that though. Do you happen to know if modifying the boot animations can mess other things up?
Mine its not rooted still stock and all of the sudden started acting up with the screen ....i did the *# test and when i went to sleep it went straight to the lock screen ...any idea what could cause it

Mine does this every time I reboot my phone. I have to press and hold the home key, pick the pie chart, pick RAM and pick "Clear Memory". Then it's fine til the next time I reboot.
I had my note 3 with the same problem and solved it recovering the original system/media/bootsamsung*.qmg files.
to solve the problem plug the charger and unplug it immediately and plug it back in again. This is also the reason why the problem is caused. So doing it again will solve the problem.
