Phone turns on my flash light whenever i hit the power button !

There's this strange problem my phone has where the flashlight is turned on whenever i hit the power button to turn off my screen It has been working fine on android revolution rom for the past 3 months then this problem started occurring just this morning. Going to the official htc flashlight app to adjust the brightness works but it cannot turn off the flashlight unless i initiate a shutdown. anyone has any idea how i can solve this problem ? is this a hardware or software issue ?

If it worked before you tried a new ROM it's bound to be s/w. Is Tasker baked in to the ROM or did you install it? Some third party app is triggering Flashlight to launch when you press the power button. You might want to check the dev who built the ROM's thread or ping him or her.

In aokp there's a turn flash light on by hitting power option in the settings have a look at your roms settings.

this rom isn't exactly new its a 3 month old build and has nv given me any sort of problems before till this strange problem started occurring. Is there any way to disable the flashlight for good so it doesn't keep turning on and draining my battery ?

If it were me, I'd want to figure the problem out as what's causing it may not be limited to Flashlight (EG: other things are being turned off or on and you just don't know it). I you want to disable it, go in to Apps>All>flashlight and clear data, force stop, and then hit disable.

Do you have EQS? If so, try to turn flashlight on then off again from the EQS tab itself.

What is a EQS ?

Extended Quick Shortcuts. The ones that show up in a seperate tab in the notifications panel.

i do have more quickly panel installed i aready uninstalled it and problem still persists. Ima try to flash a new rom and kernel over the phone see if it helps

Have you solved this? I am having the same problem. Wondering if it is a little virus or something.

Try freezing the flashlight app

its software related.
i m using viper rom and it has the option to trigger flashlight when power button is pressed (while screen off) . ive enabled it. so yea, you can disable it as well.
so check that.

Well if you're on viper it's an option for flashlight.. You can change in venom tweaks...

man, that's already the 3rd if not 4th thread abut this issue, one being opened by myself...
glad that I'm not the only one...
at beginning I thought it'd be a faulty/bent usb connector, as experienced by others, but since I am redaing of others with the same problem after upgrading, then it cannot be...
have you install;ed the OTA or started from cratch? have you cleaned dalvik cache? (I did with no avail) do you see a pattern in your wakeups? is it every x minutes? is it at random?
as regards me, it happens also when wifi and 3g and sync is off (but 2g on, that is I can only receive calls), so it cannot be anything related to signals...
I have installed BetterBatteryStats and will be sending a couple of resports to the developer trying to see if he can understand what is going on and what wakes up the phone...

I did a completely clean install... Wipe data and cache... Installed the OTA rom available on developers section.
Do tell me if you are able to find a solution.

Check this bugreport:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39829

Yeah, the same thing happens to me. VZW Toro. Stock AOSP Rom. I think it's related to daydream. It didn't start happening until I enabled that functionality.

nope... daydream is off on my phone

It seems to be an issue with the WeChat app:

Dunno, but follow the issue on that link. Answers ougta be there soon...

I do use WeChat .. let me delete this application and check ...

Deleted WeChat and disabled Day dream ... 7 minutes and phone is not waking up .. seems like the problem is resolved. ..

I don't have wechat and the problem is there so no it's not wechat

I am in the same boat, Thegios.
No Wechat... No Daydream.
I have noticed my screen waking about every 10-15 minutes. It only happens when connected to my Wifi. My N7 does not wake at all. I have wiped the Cache and noticed my "Android System" hogging my battery stats.
I am trying to search what Apps I have settings for something like "sync only on wifi"... from there I should be able to find what is turning the screen on. I have BetterBattery Stats installed, and am trying to dig a little deeper there as well.

cant b wifi, , mine wakes up also when wifi is off and 3g is off and sync is off
I have tried with bbs as well but found notjing wrong

i've read all the reports of bugs, and the people with issues seem to have flashed the stock AOSP rom.. i dont have any of the issues described and the way i installed 4.2 was first flashing the takju 4.1.2 with nexus toolkit and then i got the 4.2 OTA from "about phone"->update.. oh and i have daydream activated.

For those of you with high android system usage, are you downloading music from Google pay music for offline usage? I did and I got this sudden increase. this has never happened to my phone before. Maybe Google play music needs update?

My problem is resolved by removing WeChat and daydream disabled...waited for like an hour and confirmed about the problem solution that worked for me.
You can try disabling that sleep mode apps in Apps settings.

Your problem may have been resolved but wechat and daydream is not the solution to this as many of us aren't using either and still having this issue. I think I'm going back to bone stock 4.1.2 and going to let the OTA upgrade me to 4.2 and see what happens.
wechat is NOT the solution people, as the Google Code page suggest this is a sync issue that could be caused by a number of apps.

Sorry to report this but my phone has been bone stock since I bought it, got the 4.2 OTA, not using wechat or daydream and I still have this issue.

Screen turning on by itself

When I press the power button on my phone and put it down (whether it be a few inches or a few feet away) it will turn itself on for no reason. I have installed various air-push detectors, I have tried cleaning the USB port (note this phone isn't even a month old in my hands) but nothing is working. If you know what's going on and or how to fix it let me know. I'll post updates if I get it fixed.

I've had that happen many times and even after running a logcat I've never figured out what caused it. Sometimes an app requesting su has been the culprit but most of the time I have no idea.

So you never fixed it? I'll try auto granting and using logcat

i disabled the alarm and as soon as i was going to say it might have worked, i turn my phone off and literally a second later it turned back on

well in that case you probably have to disable one app at a time and test for a day or so to figure out which one causes the wake up:banghead:
my screen on returned with the enabled tunein alarm option. i wrote them a support ticket and hope they will adress that issue as fast as possible.

Yep, it's an app causing the issue. AudioGuru used to do it to me (whenever it changed profile the screen would light up). Since the latest version it no longer does it

it is caused by an application. usually caused by live wallpapers. install dr.web antivirus scan, remove suspicious app. :good:

[OFFICIAL] CM10.1 Bug Tracker Thread

So there's been a lot buzz lately about the bugs that are present in the latest build. Therefore, I'm going to maintain the thread to keep track of it all.
RULES:
-This is not a thread for feature requests. It's a thread for bugs, issues, and problems only!
-Before posting, you must swear under oath and punishable by law, that you are referring to a fresh installation and not a dirty flash (a fresh flash can alleviate a lot of the intermittent problems you may be having)
-In order to be a bug, it has to be confirmed by other users under same conditions
Please make sure to actually test bugs instead of saying yes yes yes. I will try to test each bug, but I'm relying on people's integrity as well. We don't want devs wasting time trying to fix something that isn't properly broken. So ensure that your bugs are legit and reproducible. Also, logcats where possible would be an amazing help too. I'm only adding bugs OP that are confirmed by at least a couple users. If it's not in the OP, it's not official.
Current bug list in no particular order:
Lock screen takes a while to draw
GPS works but reports 0-2 satellites only, NMEA data stream seems to be incorrect, so parsing this data may be touchy in some apps
Face unlock doesn't work
Autobrightness is choppy and slow
Pictures from camera show up in the wrong orientation from how they were taken
Bluetooth for headsets does not work, but may work connecting to GPS, etc.
Audio in skype is messed up
Gallery picture editing
Sound delay in calls
Work in progress...

FIXED (latest build)
Music skip/stutter when screen is off
Tethering is broken - M3 Build - thanks budor
No audio in video recording
Data usage/tracking does not work in the settings menu
Keyboard crashes

Current news...
Bluetooth is still broken
New build has an updated kernel with ota support
They are closing in on the audio issues
Stay tuned for a fresh build when the new monthly is released

For the record: this is on CM10.1, on the Samsung Captivate Glide, using the recent 4.2.2 update dated 2/17/2013
- Bluetooth Headset profile doent work
- Audio in video recording not working
- Photosphere unavailable
- audio stutters if screen is turned off (seems to be a CPU sleeping issue)
- Something (i am suspecting Google+, even though i am not actively using it) is filling up my SD card with gigabytes of thumbnails, which i have to delete manually
- lockscreen takes too long to appear
- from 4.2.1 to 4.2.2 the mount point of the external SD card changed again (so 'acast' cant find my downloaded podcasts). Not a bug per se, but a symlink would've been nice?
- auto-brightness is choppy and slow
- GPS usually get a lock in an okay-ish timeframe, but always reports that it's only locked to "0 / 2 satellites"
- face unlock doesnt work (hangs when opening the camera)
- orientation issues when taking photos: if i take a photo in landscape mode, it ends up in portrait mode in the gallery, and vice versa
Since i guess and hope many people will report bugs, and some of them will be not reproducable by others, we should have some mechanism to 'vote' or 'confirm' bugs, i guess?

All of the above...
Connecting to PC with USB, MTP mode does NOT work (it did work in Adam77root's last CM10.1 build ...)
Email - Any mail delivered into sub folders (Using Push MS Exchange) doesn't create a notification.... I miss a lot of email when sorting via rules on delivery. This is new in JB.
Some apps are deleted after reboot. (temporary fix is manually move to sdcard)

The phone connection will drop randomly and not come back until I reboot the phone. Note that I am using a Rogers (Canadian) model, if it has any relevance. Let me know how I can help you diagnose this bug.

Just thought that I would mention that I've noticed that the audio stutter is even more noticeable when the phone is plugged into something using a line in instead of headphones. I'm not sure if this is a issue specific to my device, but if I use a patch cord (audio cable, but w/o the extra contact for a remote) the music sometimes stops altogether, and rarely resumes. This happens whether the screen is on or off. Bluetooth audio stream however is completely fine. No stutter even if screen is off.

2nd post ... says Bluetooth headset profile doesn't work .. this means you can stream Audio to your car's stereo, but you can NOT use your headset... I'm going to assume it's the same accross all ROMs that you can HEAR the other person talk, but the microphone via bluetooth isn't enabled.... my other assumption is that it has to do with the sound driver issues of using skype etc. where when the microphone is activated, all other sound output becomes sloooow motion. -
These are assumptions based on an under educated hypothesis .. a guess.. a shot in the dark ... based on no fact .. and hence, could be completely entirely wrong
Here's a thought, though, why don't you do a nandroid backup in CWM one evening, download the CM10.1 and install it and play with it test bluetooth and some other things, report your findings and if bluetooth deosn't work, revert back to your backup... nothing lost and everything to gain PLUS you'll be helping out the community.

The reason it isn't in the dev section is because it isn't actually a dev thread. The dev section is more for an actual product, whereas this is more documentation for a product, meant to answer questions people might otherwise ask in the general section.

Any of you guys use Whatsapp? It will tell you that tablets are not supported.. :/

Yea. Sorry my bad. I had no service at that point. The app could not verify a network and assumed it was a tablet.
Thanks.

Okay. So basically I flash this firmware and before I proceed to use any of the apps I decide to update them. So while the outdated search app still had the hotwords feature on, I updated it. Thereafter, the app will close even before I could get to the setting menu. So the only way is to either use the older version or use the older version to turn off the hotwords feature and update. I know this is minor. Just thought I'd add this to a bugs thread.
And there are some speaker/microphone issues with google hangouts.
Anyone second this?

Open up the older one. Don't update, disable hotwords and that new google feature (cards?). Update, should work fine.

Tethering
Tethering is broken, I didn't see it in the list. Even FoxFi doesn't work.

Camera Settings Always Reset On Its Own.

Has anyone figured out how to prevent the camera settings from going back to their default settings? This happens at least once a day or even more if I use the gps. I think it has something to do with the camera being attached to the location services with geo tagging. It happens if I leave it on or off. Just gets really annoying having to always change it back to save my pics to internal storage and the front facing camera to 8mp.

I just discovered something new. I was trying to save some battery using Snapdragon Batteryguru and the camera settings began resetting, again. So, if you are using a similar app, try disabling it.

I just got the phone (H812, Rogers, Canada) and I'm also having that issue, I'll disable the shortcut keys =( that's not nice though, I liked the quick launch. Hope they fix as I don't like having settings reset.
