[question]Anyone else having issues with the screen randomly waking? - Motorola Photon 4G

If so does anyone know what is causing this? Or a solution? I'll see my Photon waking about every 30 min or so when sitting at my desk at work,

No idea, maybe it has rebooted by itself? You can try factory reset and see if it works.

My kid dropped my sleeping phone off the counter yesterday and it woke up and unlocked itself.... not sure how... but sometimes I find it in my pocket "Awake" and unlocked. Started seeing this weirdness when I flashed the 198_7 sbf

Mine wakes up ringing every morning at 5 AM. Really annoying.

Some applications that conflict with each other can cause that, I have a similar experience with my phone vibrating 3 times quickly...

Help! Weird battery behavior

Hi there ppl,
I was normally using my phone (web pages, twitter, etc...). Suddenly screen started to flash with something that reminds scanlines and after that the whole phone got a little bit hot, instantly, and finally it died.
I pulled off and put the battery back to find out that it was completely depleted... now it's normally charging... does anyone knows if this is a sign that the battery will die soon?
Update: More freaking stuff. I just spoke with my girlfriend, she owns a lumia 800 on the same network. The same thing happened to her phone except that the battery died for a few seconds and came back normally (without recharging)...
Cheers

Happens to me too occasionally, although its rare, random and varies depending on the ROM I'm using. So it's pretty ramdom yeah... I'm currently using MROM and I don't remember it happening yet.
Peace

Sometimes, but I learned to call from another phone, then hang-up. The screen turns on again
Are you running a custom ROM?...

I've had this issue in the past as well as random reboots, I believe it had to do with a root zip I flashed for the 4.5.91 update, but I can't be certain. I SBF'd the original 4.5.91 firmware, flashed the CWM recovery, and flashed the latest CM7 along with the Deepblue fix stated HERE. I understand that a lot of people have seen this and says it shouldn't do anything, so I'll let you decide if it works or not.
After doing the above steps, I've solved the issue with the random reboots, but still get the system locks forcing a battery pull, though only very rarely (maybe 1 a month/3 weeks).

Try a new kernel for your room, i've experienced this a lot of times and it was so annoying because i couldn't use my phone as a music player. I tried several kernels until i found one that doesn't go to deep sleep of death.
I would recommend faux123 work, are very stable.
Remember to flash the correct one for your rom, otherwise you'll get stuck in the motorola logo until you flash another compatible kernel.
Good luck
thanks for that advicee... the kernel is not changing anything. random reboots are not really a problem. deep sleep of death comes with every kernel even faux.
what i didn't tried yet...is reverting to stock. ...
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
It is the sleep of death. Try increasing your minimum cpu speed to one setting above the lowest (456? - I can't remember the exact number).
already done. i think the deep sleep is slower than the min setting....

Phone reboot problem

When I first got my GN2, I had an issue with it rebooting, this wasnt a huge issue as it usually only occurred once a day maybe every other day. I am now unlocked and rooted, running Cleanrom, and it still occurs occasionally, sometimes it won't even reboot it will just freeze my display will be off from not using it for awhile then I will pick up my phone and running to wake it up and nothing happens. My LED will be flashing blue though and the only way I can reboot is to pull the battery. Like I said not a huge problem because it only happens once every couple days. Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this?

You should have exchanged it. Rebooting on a stock device is unacceptable.

[Q] My note shuts off as soon as Rom boots..

Hello, I am having a problem with my note and it is scaring me. As soon as my note boots it is shutting off completely and restarting. I was just using it with fine last night. I had the uber kernel installed and oced to 1.9 cpu but it wasn't even that hot.. After thinking it was the Rom that was causing this I did a complete wipe and flashed the candykat Rom, upon boot when the cyogenmod log in screen appears it shut down and rebooted again.. twice. I'm hoping nothing is damaged internally. I am able to stay in the recovery just fine without any problems. Please help me.. And when I say shutdown I mean insta black screen and reboot..

there are many that are not scared, I am and wouldn't do it.
if you are saavy enough, many will open phone up and clean the contacts and switch with a swap and some rubbing alcohol.

Idk if I will do that lol. But now I think I know what the problem is. So yesterday I was using my note and it shut off. The battery was full and when it restarted the battery all the sudden dropped to 60%. It turned off again and went to 1%... I thought it was glitching when it said 1% but after amin it shutdown due to low battery. One thing I then tried was having my phone plugged in while using it and I played games, used my phony heavy and what do you know.. It didn't turn off. So I'm thinking I have a bad battery. PS: I took my note to a pawn shop and they said the battery was bloated. He said it wasn't supposed to spin while on a flat surface.. What do you think?
It seems while I'm playing a game the battery heats up and that causes shutdown cause I'm typing this and I don't have my charger plugged in and its fine..

Yes a bulging battery is a sign that it's bad. Batteries are cheap. Especially on eBay. I buy an extra battery and charging dock for all my devices. This way one is always fully charged, and I don't have to plug in the device unless I need Odin or to file transfer. I learned that lesson 2yrs ago when my usb charging port went bad.

Yeah it has to be the battery. Earlier today when I was using my note it said low battery at 2%, I looked at my phone afew minutes later and it said 4%?? Lol. The charger wasn't even plugged in.

If my power button was stuck would I see the shutdown menu before it rebooted, shutdown, reboot, sleep, etc? I'm just trying to make sure my battery is the problem.. I don't want to deal with a power button..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No you won't see the power menu. It just keeps restarting. I don't think you'd even see your home screen because it restarts before the rom loads.

Oh well then. That's awesome because I'm able to use my phone for more than 5 mins without it shutting down. It usually shuts down when I start playing a game or something intensive. So it has to be the battery! I'm really happy.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Well my phone shut off again when using another not as bad but still a bit puffed out note battery. I don't understand what's going on here... I'm scared to buy a new one thinking that It won't work still... my phone never turns off as much when the charger is in... But guaranteed with battery only. Less than 10 mins.

Screen won't shut off?

So I'm starting to notice that my screen will not shut off unless I shut it off with the power button...I have it set to shut off after 30secs...but after that time the screen only dims down and doesn't shut off to the lock screen...I have nothing set up like no auto brightness or anything...seems like a reboot will fix it for awhile but then it does it again...even on charger it'll just dim down and not shut off...am I missing something here? :/

My only guess is maybe if you're using a different launcher it could mess up the screen timeout.
I'm using the LG 4.0 launcher from their website...the phone will be fine after a reboot for awhile and then it will do it again...I've already factory reset it...is there a way to check wakelocks without root? Bc even when the screen is off I notice my battery drops like I don't think it should so I'm wondering if it's a rogue app causing issues tho I have the same apps on here that I had on my g3 without problems...

Although it sounds like this is probably happening when you aren't charging as well, I use the "Stay awake" located in "Developers options" to keep my screen on while plugged in (this does not affect time out when not plugged in). It dims but does not turn off with this setting. It may be worth checking if this option is ticked for you.
As others have said, there is a possibility of the launcher interfering, or perhaps whatever app you are currently running.
Restarting is not a sane solution, so I'd suggest if all else fails, perhaps seeing if this would be covered under warranty.

I'm using the same LG 4.0 with the app draw, I don't have the problem, have you tried the hard reset using the hardware key, not through the menu.

I am facing the same problem like yours, did u get any solution for it?
I also had the same issue. What I did was I went to the battery settings ang manually stop each app listed in the battery usage. And as what I've observed, the app causing it is Spotify. I don't know why spotify does this though.
Has this ever been solved?
