k i read about an app called spare parts on here so i figured hey i'll try it out. i did saw what extra setting were there and decided i wasn't gonna use it didn't even change any settings.
after opening the app and then pressing home something wierd happened i saw a white screen with HTC in green in the center for about 3-5 seconds my backround with a loading pop-up and nothing else for about another 3-5 seconds. this is happening every time i press the home button or exit out of an app. it's getting infuriating, i'm also getting wicked bad lagg in sense and lot's of hang up's and force closes. also wicked bad battery life. i don't know what to do to fix it.
i have the OTA and rooted last night with unrevoked method, this morning is when i tried the app around 10 or 11 not sure last couple days is a blur.
can anyone help, how can i restore what i had previously, do i have to do a full wipe.

get used to it if you intend to use sense, the screen you speak of is sort of like the htc sense/rosie intro. If you dont like it you can go vanilla and use another launcher, like adw froyo,launcherpro, or even the extra launcher thats included....
Sounds like you enabled aggressive handling of apps. Can you get in there to turn it off?

Or just do a factory reset.
also, you are experiencing some isolated problems which leads me to beleive the issue is software related rather than hardware.I have experienced NOT ONE of the issues you speak of. Make sure you update prl. I can vouch for that one. My data was 90% broken till i did. Also try and wipe data, that would prolly fix everything as well.....FYI, i cannot gurantee the problem lies with your hardware OR software. Thats just my diagnosis. Good luck
Thats what it was the agressive handling of processes thanks alot guys feel like a fool.....

Heh...I did that once on my hero. I know the feeling.
some versions of spare parts come with a launcher. the problem is that when you press the home button now, it's trying to goof with /system, which is forcing the reboot. even though you may be rooted, you don't have rw privileges in /system while messing with android.
you may be able to get away with accessing /system and erasing your goofy installed spare parts app. you'll have to do that through adb shell, and the custom recovery. do a search for 'remove apps', you should find it easily enough. i think the thread was moved from dev to general, or q and a.
anything that will call a write to /system (i.e. a rooted app that needs access to it to work right) has the potential to cause the phone to reboot. when i installed adfree, it had the same effect. trying to install hosts (which write to /system/etc) caused a reboot. i had to install hosts through recovery with a push after remount.
hope that helps
Hmm I installed autokiller and it appears to work doesn't mess with anything that is
I really dunno a way of testing that its actually working though if you where looking for a way to manage memory
I was using a task killer but read up on stuff and turned it off just keeping it in case I need it for something that wont close and the phone is running great and battery life keeps getting better and better.

People you need to be careful with autokillers!
Make sure that you are not closing down sense items.
Put anything that says htc or sense on ignore.
If not you are shutting down parts of sense. Then sense has to reboot. Witch is why you see the white screen with the htc logo in the middle.
I posted this question in the correct thread for the ROM I'm using in my signature (also note I'm using the newest version of the KT747 kernel as well), but people are currently more interested in hearing themselves talk on that thread, calling people trolls when the "troll" is actually helping answer questions, and just waste space with non-development chit-chat.... So maybe asking it here will get an answer!
I'm getting a partial wakelock constantly from LPAPlayer, a low power audio player that supposedly gets installed or screwed up when you install AwesomeBeats, but I never had that installed and can't seem how to disable or fix the issue with LPAPlayer eating up the battery, making the CPU run at max while the screen is off....
Anyone got any ideas or suggestions? Thanks!
Bump... Same problem here with VZW s3 running stock rooted JB 4.1.1!

I've been on this since about 2 days after it came out never had a problem. The all of a sudden it started 2 days ago. I haven't installed anything new and haven't made any substantial changes. The only media players I use are play and Pandora.

Just to add in to what Travis has been saying, and it all applies the same for me too, I just reflashed the device with the same ROM, but wiped everything first, including System.... Because these aren't official JB ROMs, I'm not spending too much time getting everything set up on the device right now, so when I wipe, I restore data from a previous backup, and while I'm sure that's not helping anything, there has to be a way to prevent LPAPlayer from using up so much battery!

Well one thing I know for sure is that we have the same exact nonofficial JB rom installed (lol) and that I do not have the LPAPlayer issue, nor could I find it installed. Travis says that he uses Google Play Music and Pandora, so maybe it has to do with one of the two. Try using Titanium and freezing these two apps and see if it fixes your battery drain.
I know it isn't Pandora, I don't use it or even have it installed on my phone.... I could see it having to do something with Google Music, I use that constantly while driving. Won't be in the car tomorrow so I'll freeze it tonight and see if anything gets better, one can only hope when no real solutions are being presented!
STILL having the issue, Pandora and GMusic are NOT the issue (as far as I can tell....)
Here's a guy having the same issues too, found that Awesome Beats was the recommendation, and never installed it either, still no resolution for him:
http://www.samsunggalaxys3forum.com...s3-help/7523-interesting-battery-problem.html
Looks like the only solution is to wipe and reinstall everything with TiBU, hoping that the issue isn't stuck in one of my user apps and just the data I'm restoring after every time I wipe....
EDIT - I MAY have found a solution! Those affected, please help me test this - those NOT affected, please check and see if your settings are different!

On there, it said to disable LPAPlayer, set lpa.decode=false in build.prop, under System, using Root Explorer, or similar. I like Root Explorer because when you select R/W at the top, press and hold on build.prop, select Open in Text Editor, you can hit the Menu button and Save and Exit while Root Explorer automatically saves the original as a backup, using .BAK. If you're unfamiliar with Root Explorer or need more instructions, let me know, I need others to test this OR see if your lpa.decode setting was already set to false! Mine WAS set to true before I edited it, rebooted, and now I'm testing to see if it works.... after 14 mins, I'm seeing a deep sleep of 5 mins so far, so it may have worked!!! There isn't any mention of any partial wakelocks from LPAPlayer right now either!

Also started noticing this issue on my Sprint GS3, while playing Google Music, as that is the only music player I have, and have not installed any other apps, like Beats, or the like. Via Betterbatterystats I would see that anytime I'd play/use Google Music, LPAPlayer would keep the phone awake, even if I forced closed the Google Music app. Only way to stop it from keeping the phone awake was to reboot my phone, which was a pain since I use it to stream music all day. Anyone know what LPAPlayer is for, where it's located? I can't find much info on it. I'm going to try the above and edit the build.prop entry, as mine was set to true, and report what I get! Thanks!

Yep, same issue I had too - someone must have edited the build.prop on us in a ROM or something to have that effect on different carrier's SGSIII's.... I've seen MUCH better battery life out of my phone since then, with the only wakelock coming in the form of Light Manager, but everyone who uses LightFlow / Light Manager for their LED notifications complain about poor battery life from wakelocks, so there's nothing I can do with that right now!
Glad I could help, definitely report back and let me know what you come up with when you change that setting and reboot!

I was getting wakelock from LPAPlayer too (on sprint gsIII). Yesterday was the first day i noticed the poor battery like. About two days ago for the first time, i installed lightflow just to check it out. I immediately uninstalled it cause i don't really have a use for the app. I just now looked in betterbatterystats and found it was LPAPlayer. Do you think that app is causing the issue then?

It's possible, but probably not likely.... I know I had Lightflow installed as well and uninstalled it to use Light Manager instead (Lightflow was causing a separate battery drain not associated with LPAPlayer, from what I understand), but I think that's just coincidence that we both had it installed at one point and it changed the settings to enable LPAPlayer....
I am/was having the same issue. I only saw LpaPlayer giving my phone a partial wake after using Google Play Music. I changed the build.prop as suggested and it looks like that fixed the problem. Thanks
sorry for bumping a month old thread but i've noticed this issue as well. Google music would also freeze up on me. Rather annoying. Let's see if editing build.prop fixes it

Just want to say THANK YOU for this post. AT&T GS3 here stock rom 4.1.2 and rooted. This fixed the lpaplayer wakelock for me. I used Root Browser to change the setting and then restarted. Noticeable improvement in battery life as a result.
Is anyone having issues with security setting under personal? When I select it, the settings application force closes with Unfortunately, Settings has stopped. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Standard Verizon note 4. no root.
Played around a bit and decided to do a settings reset which corrected issue.

I had to start in safe mode to get security settings to open up for me. Not a great long term solution but it worked so I could change the unknown sources setting.
Thanks for the reply, how do you start in safe mode?
These are the instructions for the Note 3 but they work:
With the device powered off, press and hold the Power button until the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 logo appears then release.
With the logo on the screen, press and hold the Volume down button until Safe mode appears in the lower left of the screen then release.
Note This may take up to 45 seconds.
Thanks!

That kept happening to me and I finally figured out a solution! I kept having my apps reinstalled from Google and, whenever an app that I had previously used that required root access was installed, Settings would crash whenever I tried to open Security. So, it was a long process but I reinstalled only those apps that didn't need root access. Afterwards, I kept testing to make sure I could still access Security without the crash and, when something was installed that caused the crash again, I knew which app it was, uninstalled it, and all was fine again. I had to reset the phone 6 times to figure this out but all's good now!

Glad you got it working. Would you be able to tell me what app it was? I have the same problem.
I had so many apps that needed root that it just made sense to not have Google install my apps after resetting. I really can't recall specifically which one it was. What I do suggest, which will take a while but is so worth the time, is to make a list of what's on there now and only reinstall like 3 at a time and then check to make sure that everything's ok. If it is, install a couple more, etc. That way, if one screws it up, you'll know which one to uninstall rather than having to reset it all over again. At least if you do install one that needs root and, therefore, screws it up for you, you can just uninstall that one program. Good luck! Let me know how it goes. ☺
Was finally able to figure this out (for me anyway). Its my S View cover. With the cover off I have no problem getting into security put it back on and it forcecloses. I went to Best Buy and tried 2 others and they both caused the security to forceclose as well.
Was chatting with a Samsung Rep where they remotely control your phone and she came up with the conclusion that it is a bad app and wants me to do a factory reset and add the apps back 1 at a time. I will wait till I flash a ROM and do it then. I am leaning towards that it is a app. If every Note 4 with a S View cover had this issue then it would be more widely known.
I had the S cover and that wasn't the problem. Like I said, it was cos I was having Google automatically install my old apps, some of which were apps that needed root like Titanium Backup, Rom Toolbox, etc.. I was able to put Apex as my home, just not apps that needed root. Titanium is the reason I want root so much. Being able to clean up or delete apps I don't use.
Yes, i had the same problem with my s view cover. Once i took it off, i was able to go back into the security settings.

I figured out the app that was causing the issue for me. I use Nova and also TelsaUnread. I uninstalled Telsa and no more problem even with the S View cover.
I randomly realized my G4 wasn't rotating the screen anymore and I have since tried everything - factory resetting, calibrating the sensor (doesn't work) and even the banging phone on table method, none are successful.
This may indicate that it is a hardware issue but if I hold the phone landscape and open the camera the buttons do rotate, but if I rotate whilst already inside the app nothing changes so I'm not exactly sure what is going on. When I use the app CPU-Z to track the accelerometer value it stays static until I turn the screen off and move the phone a bit, when I turn it on the value changes again but stays still.
Any idea what the cause is??
does booting into safe mode make any difference (i know you said factory reset, but I'm curious).
Also, probably won't, but is there any difference whilst the phone is charging?
Throwing this out there. Did you debloat? On the Samsung models, if you uninstall the Hub app, rotation gets broken for some weird reason. I don't know what that would be on the G4, but maybe? Just a random guess.

Not necessarily. I know a factory reset doesn't restore any previously removed apps, and flashing factory a fresh image depends on how it's flashed I've discovered. Only a CSC restores the phone to factory specs, while other methods didn't for me.

I had the exact problem a few weeks ago, thought my hardware was already flaking. Don't remember what I did to get it working, but it wasn't overly complex.. Rebooting didn't help, I think I pulled the battery, waited a bit, and then rebooted and then went to calibration from there.
Do you happen to have xposed installed by the way?

Hey thanks for your reply, I am trying now the battery pulling method, did you then calibrate through the sensor in display settings?
And yeah I do, hmm not sure if it stopped working after that actually.. but I remember after I flashed a fresh .kdz even without xposed it still doesn't work.

Yea would have been the calibration from the regular settings.
As for xposed, flashing a kdz will keep user data and settings.. It might have been gravitybox causing the issue for me, which if you uninstall that, reboot and reinstall it, might help. Same goes for any other modules you had enabled.

Oh yeah it did but I factory reset as well so... I never installed gravitybox since I heard there were some problems with it but I'll see if there are any modules causing issues.
Silly question: Have you tried clicking the rotation icon in the pull-down notifications bar?

Yeah I have I don't even know there are signs that point towards it being a hardware or a software issue tbh.
Problem happened to me too. Started yesterday, sometimes worked, sometimes stuck on portrait.
Shutting down and pulling the battery for a few seconds seems to do the trick. It works properly now..
Have you been used apps which could calibrate the accelerometer before?
etc. some games that needs to be controlled by rotating the phone on its axis..

Me? Not that I know. Some new apps yes, but still proper screen rotation.
This problem happened on my g4 today...
Stock ROM?
LG 4 not rotating??
quick fix which worked for me was just take the battery out, wait 30 seconds, put back in switch on and problem solved...
hope this helps guys.... regards Steve
Good evening, just lately I have encountered a bug when trying to install APK's. When I go to install via Package Installer it will open up the screen and when I go to press next it doesn't do anything, I have tried rotating the screen and pressing Next and it just doesn't work whatsoever...
I powered off my device and powered back on and this seemed like it fixed the problem.
Is/has anyone else encountered this? I've also noticed ometimes when typing on the keyboard the sound goes tinny for 5 seconds or so and go back to normal, it's been like this since unboxing too.
I haven't had this issue exactly, but when I install a new app and it asks for permission to access my location/storage/etc.. I can't press Allow.. I can press Deny though no problem at all. Right now I'm manually going into apps/permissions and granting all my apps whatever I think it needs.. Just a pain to do it that way though!
I had this issue the other night. It seems an invisible overlay gets stuck sometimes. Not sure what app or why, but clearing all the recent apps fixed it for me. Try that if it happens again instead of waiting for the phone to restart.

Also had this problem two days ago and restarting seemed to fix it. I was disabling some of the stock apps at the time so I wondered if that had something to do with it but I don't know, don't think I re-enabled any of the apps or anything before or after the reboot and so far it's been working since.

Thanks for your feedback and I have also had that problem too. Of course yes we can go into app settings and enable and like you stated it's a pain haha. I know this isn't the place to point these problems out and get them fixed but it's nice to know I'm not the only one ??

Yes dude, that's correct and thanks for that valuable information I do clean my cache regularly and can't say I've come across the problem for a while, so thanks again.

I'd like to mention I have disabled and uninstalled quite a lot too, but I can't say if this adds to the problem. It'd just be really nice to hopefully get the new build of software that was recently announced on Xperia Blog but I can't say if this will fix the problems etc. I don't know? ??

I've experienced this issue as well and the culprit seemed to be an overlay permission from another app. As I'm sure everyone knows, this phone's screen is very bright even at it's lowest setting. I like to read at night and the light bothers my wife so I started using an app called Nightowl that further dims the screen. Nightowl produces a overlay that dims the entire screen. If i happen to be running nightowl and try to install the app, I can't tap install. Once I turn off the app I'm able to install like normal. Hope that helps lead you in the right direction as restarting the phone every time a problem presents itself is kind of a bummer.
