[Q] Screen stays on after root - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hello,
I rooted the phone usin gExynosAbuse.apk and now I noticed that the screen will stay on even after some use. I set the display to go off after 1 min. FYI, Motion is OFF and Stay Awake is NOT checked in the development settings.
If the phone is freshly restarted the screen will go off after the set amount of time. However, after some use (not sure what triggers it), the screen would stay on until I pressed the lock/pwr button.
Any idea why?
Thanks.

You have an app keeping it on. Time to go through your list and find it

Thanks for the answer.
That sounds like a pita. I guess there is no other way than run an app and see if the problem comes back, repeat for all the app I have installed?

Well, think back to when the problem first occurred. As long as you weren't configuring apps at the time, its likely to be the last installed app.
Otherwise, you could do what I did when I had an app deodexing my /data/app directory every boot:
Uninstall them in groups until the issue goes away.
You could also take a look at your wakelocks, and narrow it down further that way. The phone definitely isn't sleeping when the screen is on.

Yeah, the thing is I just got this phone and after rooting I went crazy with app installs lol.
Guess will have to take my time to weed out the problem.
Thanks again!

Hope you find it.
After 70 apps, I gave up and just wiped data and started over when I had my issue, LOL.

USER FAULT Not KERNEL PANIC UPLOAD MODE

Does anyone know what this is, Or why it happens. my phone would crash and this screen would pop up. I did alot on my phone before it started to happen. I think it has something to do with GPS, but the only other people I have seen on the net to have this problem have different stories.
One says its after he rooted
Another person on the T-mobile forums reported it but didn't give a suspected reason.
Mine did it after three things happened I used the supl.google.com gps fix, and my battery showed an overheat warning when charging turned off. And My girl tried to send 15 pics she took to herself and cousin one through E-mail and the other through mms. The email and text messages to my girl gave me error messages that and a way to solve the problem (which didn't work) The only thing that worked was deleted her thread and the email.
I have since restored factory setting to see if it fixes the problems. I'll keep everyone updated.
If anyone has any ideas or has had this happen chime in maybe we can find out whats going on.
Factory Data reset was useless, it was a waste of time. It appears to be related to the GPS. After thinking about it, the radio probably burned out when i was trying to use gps while charging it in the car yesterday, it had to be 94 degrees outside probably hotter on the dash. The phone actually reset to the battery indicator and flashed a battery heat warning. Gps didn't last last long after that. It was the next morning when I started to get the error.
Called rep, and he gave me an exchange right away, no questions, will be getting another phone sat. or monday.
I realize this is a little old, but I just wanted to say that I just had the same problem today while I was using a navigation tool (Waze). I thought it might be related to the app, but maybe it is the GPS as op said.
I do realize this thread is months old but, likewise, I just had the same thing happen to me.
I wasn't using GPS though, I was simply trying to tether through usb.
Next thing I know the "kernel panic, upload mode" screen came up rendering my phone useless
I pulled the battery restarted, and did the same thing yet this time the screen didn't come up allowing me to tether and search the issue.
From the google search results I came across a thread where a guy said it had something to do with task managers/killers. He said since he unistalled the version he was using "advanced task manager" he never had the problem again.
which led him to believe it came from the wrong proccesses being killed or stopped by it which caused the kernel to crash.
Likewise...I too was using a task killer--Auto killer. So I uninstalled it as well, and now use the system default task manager to kill unwanted apps manually.
So far so good...Idk if this is the solution, but to any future readers that run across this and are having the same problem, I suggest you rid of any task killing apps that may be running. Manually kill apps on your own, and let android handle the rest.
I'm not saying dont use them at all but...unless you are an advanced enough user to understand how they work a little more, your best benefit is to leave it be.
Here are some tips that helped me fix this issue:
1. As someone said earlier, uninstall task killers. It's better to install an app that changes the os default task killer. I use autokiller and I use the preset optimum. This way the os can manage the processes and it will stay stable.
2. If you have setcpu, make sure to go to menu, autodetect device, and then set the minimum to 200.
3. If you flash a rom, if it's possible use a clockwork recovery image instead of using Odin.
After these steps, it never happened to me again.

I was using Autokiller too....I uninstalled it and everything seems fine, Idk, may had nothing to do with it...because I've used Autokiller for quite a while, way back on my G1 and never had that problem, oh well...appreciate your input.
I had several "kernel panic" warnings on my handset which I replaced. If I remember it was after using Google maps right after an update and it was hot as a ***** and could smell components melting. As far as autokiller the experience I had was that say I was online Google reader decided to check XDA for instance,go back to Steel would have closed the App out.this happened using visual task swithcher and the default last used programs panel. So I don't use it for that reason.
if your phone is Loki, use Odin, you'll be Thor.
Thread moved to Q&A.
I think this is related to some applications. This is happening to me also, I am on Stock 2.2 Rooted. First I noticed this one when I was online on Nimbuzz and my yahoo account was logged in through nimbuzz, and when I started Yahoo messenger with the same login ID I got "USER FAULT NOT KERNEL PANIC". It happened with same scenario again & again. So I dont use both together.
Again I noticed when I kept my phone on charging through USB connected to a PC, sometimes my fon went in the same Panic mode without doing anthing.
Somebody needs to find out why this is happening. some application or process is causing this problem which needs to be find out.
Vibrant Crash Response
I have the same problem! It's happened about 20 times to my phone. It crashes, gets hot as ****, and gives me the 'user fault kernel panic upload mode' screen.
I think I've narrowed it down a little though.
Things I've noticed:
1.. It only happens when the phone is charging, never on battery.
2.. It only happens after the screen is turned off, never while I'm using it (anywhere from 5 min to hours after the screen has been off).
I'm guessing its some kind of background process that uses a lot of processing power and overheats the phone..
Hope this helps. Be sure to post up if you find a solution.. I don't want to burn it up!
Just for confirmation sake are we all seeing the same Kernel Fault error? are you seeing the same codes?
RST_STAT 0X4
PMIC_IRQ1 0x0
PMIC_IRQ2 0x0
PMIC_IRQ3 0x0
PMIC_IRQ4 0x0
PMIC_STATUS1 0x0
PMIC_STATUS2 0x0
Also i have tried three different Kernels so i am pretty sure this is going to be a hardware issue.
I may be wrong though, in my case it could be a task killer.
Need help! What can we do?
My cousin had the same problem but, It did happenned on battery power, he did not activated the GPS or Google Map.
The phone is practically bricked. It does not boot to android. We tried everything and came up with no results. Even we get the battery off and waited like a minute or so, plug it back and try to turn it on and it just got us to the same screen with the message saying something about kernel panic upload mode and a bunch of red numbers at the upper left corner. He does not installed any task killer either.
I think he was trying to install a .zip file from the SD Card in clockwork recovery mode. Now we can't even get to recovery mode!
What can we do?
hardware problem
I have been running on I997UCKI4 rom. Now a days the phone suddenly keeps getting into "user fault kernel panic upload mode" and phone would not even go into 3e recovery mode.
I have to take out the battery and put it back again. It keeps heating up until I do that.
Please help.

[Q] Screen turn on and off

I am using CM7 latest weekely every thing is perfect but now suddenly my phones screen turns on like call is coming and turns back off after 2 sec and this happens randomly.
is this expected behavior?
is there any work around?
My fiancee has an atrix that is totally stock and hers just started doing this yesterday. I would also like to know the answer to this. I was thinking it was a hardware issue with the power button but hopefully i am wrong, that way I dont have to mess with a warranty exchange. Any help would be appreciated.
by any chance have u just start using this app "Memory Booster - RAM Optimizer" if yes then this might be the one, i have just messed around in its settingsd and no screen wakup problems so far
https://market.android.com/details?...xLDEsImltb2JsaWZlLm1lbW9yeWJvb3N0ZXIubGl0ZSJd
No. The only apps that I think might cause this that I have on her phone is beautiful widgets and a data toggle. She has had these apps on there for awhile and the phone just started to act up.
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
Both me and my brother own atrix and it happens on both.It was happening on stock 2.3.4 and now on cm7 as well it must be something with the phone not a rom related issue
i also have beautiful widgets, can sk8trix conform that his and his brother phone have this app too. if yes then this might be the cause. or we have to tell each other whole list of apps that we have installed to narrow down the culprit.
On her phone I have all of her apps that are supposed to sync turned off. I recently installed data enabler for her so she would have a data toggle on her home screen. I use advanced task manager to kill her apps by force stopping them. Last night I used it and closed everything and turned her screen off. 5 minutes later it come on for about two seconds and shut off. I have been looking at what apps might be causing this and really dont see anything unusual except for the data enabler and beautiful widgets. I will uninstall both of those and report back later on to let you know the result. Hopefully someone else will come along with a better solution.

I don't use beautiful widgets ever.....I even tried with a clean install no apps installed except stock cm7 apps and google apps and it still happened so I gave up trying to figure it out.
it doesn't shorten my battery life at all so I don't worry however if there is a fix I will use it because it is annoying.
Edit the only time the phones wake up by themselves is right after we hit the power button to turn the screen off or when the phone firat boots and is still locked it will turn the screen off and turn it back on the dim again.
I dont think its cm7 issue cos i was at weekly # 4 and there was no issue then i flashed tuch recovery and after that boot it started happening. Then i flashed latest weekely and reverted back to old recovery. And i agree this only happen when i turn screen off (randomly)
OK here is where I am at now with this problem. I uninstalled both apps and it seems to be ok for the time being, but my fiancee told me she had been receiving weird messages in her notification bar. I looked into it and she was getting ads in her notification bar. So I downloaded AirPush Detector from the market and ran a scan on her phone and it detected a couple of apps pushing notifications. I got rid of the apps and now im back to checking the phone again. I dont know if that AirPush app would help you guys out or not but it would hurt to try.
since i have started this thread my problems have gone away like a little *****, and i dont know how to recreate this problem any more so i am stuck with no problem no solution thing.
12 hrs passed no problem so far.
It was apps in the background running. Airpush helped. I told her from now on no more free apps, i would rather buy them then fight this **** again. I put the data toggle and beautiful widgets back on her phone and it's ok. Thanks for your guys input.

I am having The same problem with my Samsung Galaxy ace Gt-5830i.
Earlier it had problems with charging and SD card. So we took it to authorized service center. And they said they had formatted the phone and installed stock ROM on it. They also replaced the charger port. But now after two days the phone screen is turning on and off at repeated intervals (for about 2 Seconds). So what might be the problem.

[Q] S II 'soft' reboot

Apologies in advance for the potentially vague description, but I also cannot find a solution elsewhere on the forum.
Earlier today, I was watching a YouTube video and then I locked my phone and left it to charge whilst I went downstairs (as I often do). When I returned roughly an hour later, I found the screen on, which I only ever do if I've left Draw Something open, or some similar app - but it was on the lock screen.
(none of that is necessarily important, I just wanted to clear up the "what did you do to make it start rebooting" question)
Anyway, after unlocking the phone, the screen went to black and the phone restarted.
However, it wasn't a "real" reboot, because the boot screen didn't come up, etc. It's just like just the UI is restarted. I can usually use the phone for about 30 seconds at a time. This seems extended when I have flight mode on, and is even longer still when I have the phone locked.
I've uninstalled some potentially-offending apps, removed the SD card, cleared some apps' data, but to no avail.
I'm using default 4.0.4 from Samsung. The only issues I'd had with it until now were that some apps crashed occasionally, but I attributed that mainly to the apps themselves.
The most annoying thing for me is that is seems like it's an issue that can be fixed quite simply, without having to uninstall every app or factory reset the phone.
Anyone have any other ideas as to what I could do? Thanks!

Second screen not working?

Has anyone experience the second screen not working all of a sudden? Mine is just dark with the main screen both on and off. I tried toggling the second screen on and off from the setting, reboot, battery pull, and wiping cache and dalvik but so far none worked.
It's not a hardware issue, I think, because when I open the camera, the second screen comes on for the camera Settings. Also, when in twrp, the second screen is also on as a part of the whole display.
EDIT: I can actually see some light bleed from the second screen with the main screen off. It's just not displaying information it should for some reason.

I just got mine, and something I did in the course of adding/changing/modding did the same - I lost my second screen when the phone was off, but when it was on I had my shortcuts. I wound up factory resetting and re-installing/re-configuring my apps... knock on wood, everything works just fine now. I think mine failed when I unfroze an app in Titanium that it marked for me.
About the only thing that I did before I lost the second screen is installing a game from the play store. I have uninstalled it, but still no luck. I most likely will factory reset and if that doesn't work, I'll flash stock rooted rom... And set my phone up yet again.

Same symptoms
I am on stock, albeit rooted. I froze a few apps, but I have also rebooted multiple times before the second screen disappeared, so I am not sure how anything I have done this far could be the cause.
Because I saw I am not alone, I started to do some digging. It looks like the app is located in /data/data/com.lge.signboard, which actually has symlinked directories. Not sure if its a clear indicator of the issue, but most of the directories are empty. Definitely odd.
I'll load up SSHd later and see if I can investigate more.
Did the factory reset and now the second screen works. I'm sincerely hoping that this is not a regular occurrence. I haven't liked a phone so much since galaxy s2.

I also had my second screen go funky. Haven't factory reset but I'm going to. It seemed to happen as I was also defrosting and refreezing some LG things, mainly services and such and not apps that you interact with per se. At right about the same time I noticed something else strange. When plugging the phone in, it takes several seconds for it to realize it whereas before it used to be instant. Also, the camera is very slow to load and change from the front to the back ones.
So I got a little bored
And fired up adb logcat to see if I could find anything. I don't yet know if it's related or not, but there is a message
Code:
I/[SystemUI]MiniStatusBar( 5541): signBoardWindowShow() requested but unavailable. Hide MiniActivity.
that shows in the log.
I to tried clearing cache and dalvik or art or whatever to try to get the second screen back no avail.
I'm having the same issue. Any update on this?
I too am interested in this, I had this issue occur too when I froze some applications (system apps) that I didn't think were necessary. Unfortunately once you freeze the component it blocks the screen and unfreezing everything back does not bring the screen back you have to factory reset it. Any ideas of what the service is that affects the second screen?
Second Screen symlink busybox
After reading all your comments on what you could have done to cause the second screen from working, it looks like the symlink is broken especially if you have updated your busy box. I too started to have the second screen go bad on me and I couldn't figure it out until I read this thread especially the log post. I am going to reset and ensure that smart install is set right in busy box.
Recently, the AT&T LG V10 (H900) just got root here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-v10/general/root-lg-h900-real-tot-make-tungkick-t3336317
I then debloated the V10 on firmware H90010f with Debloater v3.90 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294
Before, I decided to have the second screen off for a while, so I disabled it in the system's menu. I then advanced towards debloating. Decided to turn on the second screen again. Notice that there were issues with it. So now I'm currently experiencing this issue: the second screen does not show date, time, weather, notifications, quick icons. Only shows quick toggles if I swiped from right to left, such as sound profile, WiFi, flashlight, and camera. I undo all of the debloating, rebooted the phone many times, still the same problem. Sigh. I'm trying to avoid doing factory reset because I'm not up to reloading everything again, especially the SMS/MMS.
So, anybody found out a better solution other than doing a reset?
Update 1: It seems like re-rooting with updating the ROM with the "upgrade" option for the AT&T LG V10 to not do a full clean install does not solve the problem. I didn't lose all my personal data, but I did not gain anything that it restored system apps to previous default settings. Sigh, it's just one step closer to just do a factory data reset.
Update 2: There appears that other things were broken from disabling/removing apps (during phone calls, cannot multitask, such as switch apps or use the notification area; SuperSU couldn't generate a log correctly), so I went ahead and did a factory reset since there was no alternative restoring method. The second screen works again and so does the said apps. Looks like I'll have to be careful which apps I'll be disabling/removing with Debloater.
Uninstalling an app restored my second screen.
I had this issue as well. Camera controls were in the second screen space, the swipe to end call would appear, but none of my other settings stayed long after restarting my phone, maybe 10 min. I uninstalled some of my most recent apps, the suspect one being "Zooper Widget Pro" and the issue stopped. No factory data reset etc. This app was a launcher-type app (I'm a geek but nowhere near the tech terms used elsewhere on this site) and I thought it might be the issue due to its ability to control the home screen. I doubt it was intended to work with this arrangement. So I would look at any launchers or apps which can control the home screen before doing a reset as this exact issue was easily solved for me.
I just got the phone and set it up. the only thing I disabled was ATT bloatware nothing else. 2nd screen is only on when main one is on. Using nova launcher. I tried uninstalling and that didn't help. Is there any more info on this, can I get it working without factory reset ? I get no indication of notification right now other than sound.
I did factory reset and that didn't help either.
I have a same problem with the second screen to. So anybody can help me!
Is there anyone can help me pls!!!
I solved this problem by checking PINs on mainboard for the second Flex Cable for LCD of LG V10, see the video, READ comments here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpeVAqgU94s, so in my case one of three PINs was folded little, so one PIN contact didn't touch the second Flex Cable and this caused the problem...

G5 sometimes 'skips' lock screen

I've noticed over the past 2 weeks or so that all of a sudden the phone sometimes doesn't bother with the lock screen. I'll double tap to wake and it'll go right to the home screen (or to whatever app I was in last). This happens with or without notifications. I thought it was something caused by Evolve because it seemed to stop once I cleared data/froze it with Titanium but it's started back up again.
Running Android M, rooted, with Xposed. However, I have not installed any new modules or done any system updates during this time. All of the phone settings look correct, and are unchanged, and there isn't a setting for 'skip the lockscreen like 30% of the time' anyway.
Anyone have any ideas? Could it be an app causing this? I believe those are the only things that have been updated.
Something like Greenify?
Any ideas on where to start troubleshooting would help. Thanks.
Still fighting with this. Anyone else? Removed everything I could find that wasn't being used. Wiped data for lockscreen settings. Wiped cache/dalvik. At a loss here. It's really annoying!
Only thing I can think of is that Power Key Instantly Locks is turned off.

it's on, and lock timer is set to immediately.
doesn't seem to have any relation to time. sometimes I'll pick the phone up after an hour and it'll go right in without the lock screen.

Sorry, I don't have any other ideas. Maybe someone else can be better help.
Still driving me nuts. I thought I had solved it by turning off 'battery optimizations' for anything always-on/lock screen related but that wasn't the answer. Reflashed the rom, still having the issue. Might need to reflash with a full wipe I guess.
I'd rather just move to Nougat but I can't get xposed to work properly. Life is hard haha.
in case anyone finds this thread when dealing with the same issue: Android Wear was the culprit. wakelock detector pointed me in that direction and once i uninstalled it, the problem stopped immediately and has not returned.
