My phone is getting stuck in a black screen sometimes after being idle for a long time (like 2+ hours)!
It stays with the screen off and the led flashing... it only happens when im idle for long..
It's annoying me a lot, because it freezes at night, and i miss the alarm to wake up in the morning..
Solving this is so important to me that i'm willing to give $10 to whoever fixes this for me!
Feel free to pm me!
Thanks!
I've switched from Defrost to OpenDesire hoping this would get fixed, but it's still happening sometimes!

This all started yesterday morning. I had my alarm set, woke up later than I needed to with a notification on the phone that said Alarm Turned Off After 10 Minutes, telling me the alarm had gone off for 10 minutes and was automatically turned off.
I thought it was weird so I did some digging and it turned out that NONE of my sounds were working. The volume was up, silent mode was off, but I was getting nothing whatsoever from the phone speaker. Even speaker phone wasn't working. Headphones worked fine. It seemed my speaker had blown.
Well, later in the day (as I was preparing to take it back to Verizon) it just randomly starts working again. All sounds now seem fine.
So I set my alarm this morning. And this time, it didn't even go off, at all! I woke up 5 minutes after it was supposed to go off, and when I unlocked my phone, THEN the alarm started going off. It's almost like it isn't coming our of deep sleep to sound the alarm.
Are these two issues related; the sound issue yesterday and the alarm issues both days? Has anyone else experienced this? It seems to be random...sometimes I can replicate it, other times I cannot.
There's another thread about this somewhere...try a search for "alarm". It's happened to me often enough that I can't rely on my Gnex as an alarm clock...I have to use my old SGS instead. I've also had loss of sound occasionally, but a reboot always fixes it.
Wish someone would figure out a solution, it's pretty annoying to have a bug like this in the alarm. Even the cheapest, crappiest dumbphone you can buy comes with a reliable alarm app, but my expensive smartphone does not? (and yes, I've tried other alarm apps besides the stock one...they all fail to go off intermittently.)

Thanks for the input. I use my alarm daily and this is the first time I've had this issue.
As an aside (but perhaps related issue?), my gmail app has uninstalled itself and I can't get it reinstalled. Looks like it's time for a reflash.

Yes I would reflash before you miss a flight or the interview to your dream job!
One thing I miss about my old blackberry is the alarm. Put it in the cradle and the time would dim, all notifications would turn off and the alarm would fire every time, every when the battery had been drained and switched off. Pity everything else sucked...
I've yet to have a problem.
Maybe you're getting SOD's (or close-to) in the middle of the night and the phone is having trouble waking itself up?
Try adjusting your governor and turn your undervolts up if they're enabled.
I am, however, fairly OCD about my alarms...
I reboot my phone before opening the alarm app and ONLY the alarm app...
Make sure the alarm is enabled...
And turn the screen off.
I've done this since my OGDroid days.
I also have the trusty DX as a backup...set 10 minutes later; just in case.
All, i'm having a huge problem. beginning last weekend, whenever I wake up I find my phone clock has become nearly 5 minutes slower.
Because of my sleep schedule on the weekdays, its always 5 minutes late by the time i wake up. strange thing is, within 10-15 min of my phone being "awake" I assume the auto clock sync corrects the wrong time and by the time i'm i'm driving to work the clock's time is right.
i tried turning off wifi one night i think a couple days ago to see if it was some type of strange wifi issue and i found that with wifi turned off, my phone was almost 20 minutes off on the time.
This has affected strangely my alarm clock as well and sometimes it doesn't even go off and i naturally wake up and check and it shows the screen where the alarm clock is running, asking me to "dismiss" or "snooze"
This is super cumbersome, is ANYONE else having this issue with the hox? my only conclusion is while i am sleeping and my phone is on standby for many hours something isn't quite doing its job. maybe something like the phone time being off, i don't know, like 30 seconds an hour or something. I'm still on 1.73.
during the day while my phone is turned on every 30 min to an hour, my clock is perfectly sync'ed.
please help.
turn off auto updating and manually set it - does it still happen?
it could be a conflict between phone time and network time, and the phone stops checking when asleep?

Are you using a custom kernel? Some kernels can have time slew issues. Most people don't notice it. I use Clocksync from the market to keep synced.

i've only rooted it for titanium back up. kernel is factory. i am definitely going to look into clocksync as well after tonight's test. thank you.
i can confirm after i turned off network clock sync that it indeed was not the problem and that there is something inherent in the software that is slowing down my clock on my phone overnight. thing is i don't have any crazy apps. this is so strange.
anyways i have downloaded ClockSync and seeing if this will fix the problem. thanks
Today, when checking my phone's battery drain (because I suspected something was wrong since it drained about 20% in just 5 hours, beeing in deep sleep) I found that my screen was on for 1.30h.
That was very weird because I have used the phone for little time and couldn't understand why my HOAX reported 1.30h of screen time.
So I made a test. Kept looking at the screen and... voila! I found that it turns on by himself for apparently no reason since I didn't even touched it.
I digged into any opened apps and closed them all but the screen keeps turning on randomly. Even weired, when it turns on, if I press the on/off button to force it beeing off, it turns on again immediately.
What can be causing this behaviour? Anyone with a similar experience that could give an advise?
Thank you a lot

The phone trolls u.
But seriously, try with wipe. If it don't work, try Google search.
twice now yesterday and this morning i didn't hear my phone got to bed late, so i didn't hear it so i wake up after it had ring like half an hour or and hour or more, and than i can't access the app, i kill the service and go in again it normally the alarm starts kicking off, and like 10mins after my phone automatically reboots on it's own.
is there a way to fix this problem?
Hi all just want to share my experience with the screen locking issue (won't wake from sleep).
It has been a real pain in my ass and lately was getting worse.
So I'm happy to say after 7 days I have not had the dreaded screen freezing at all, all i did was turn off the keep screen awake while charging. i turned it off and no more not waking while hitting the power button. I'm not saying this was the cause for every user a fix everyone. For whatever reason it did work for me and I figured I'd share and maybe help someone else.
Just wanted to update, after 2 weeks my screen has not frozen once.
My device exhibited the same behaviour on stock 4.4.4. Meaning, it did not wake up from sleep upon power button press. It eventually woke up, after a couple seconds or maybe up to 30 seconds.
I have not had the option ticked you had, for me it was a custom kernel I used. I am back on the stock kernel and have not had any spontaneous reboots I had before nor does my device not properly wake up from sleep. All perfect.
As the user above, I am simply sharing my experience. Your mileage may vary.
