Hi all,
The sound slider on my lock screen is not working correctly. If the volume is on when the phone goes to sleep, using the sound slider on the lock screen mutes it correctly (or vice versa), but then reverts back to the volume state before the slider was used after a second or so. However, this does not happen if I touch the screen again after sliding the slider before the volume reverts back to the state prior to sliding the slider (a focus issue perhaps?).
I am using CyanogenMod 7.1.0-RC1.5 (03.09.11) released by Quarx for the Defy (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033654). I have been using it without problems for 2 or 3 months, but this problem just started occurring as of last night.
Can anyone help me fix this problem? Logcat isn't showing me any useful information that I can see.
Cheers
Apologies if this has been addressed before, but I searched and couldn't find something exactly like this...
Randomly one of 3 screen issues seems to be occuring on a daily basis:
1) Auto-Rotate stops working. Cannot get screen to rotate without reset (Yes, I've made sure auto-rotate is on in settings)
2) Screen will not Auto-Off. Even if I change settings to 15 secs, screen will not turn itself off. I have to manually turn it off. And, if I receive a text or any kind of notification it will light up again and stay on indefinitely.
3) Screen will not turn back on when trying to wake up device. Hitting the home button and power button both have no effect. Although the LED is usually blinking, and it seems the phone is still on.
For all 3 of the above issues, manually pulling out the battery and reseting the phone that way seems to always work. But, this is an annoying process to have to go through on a daily basis.
Also, I've noticed that these 3 symptoms don't occur simultaneously. For example, yesterday it wouldn't auto-off, but rotation would still work.
Not running any custom ROMs either
Hey folks,
I have two problems with my good old M9.
It runs completely stock Android 6.0.
1. After changing the volume, the volume bar remains and doesn't automatically swipe out after a few seconds. I have to touch the display anywhere to make the bar disappear. I think the problem came after the last update, but I am not 100% sure. Any1 having this problem, too, and maybe solved it?
2. For some time now, the upper flashlight LED flickers when I turn on the flashlight.
Don't know if it affects the flash when taking a photo.
Is there a way to fix this or do I have to live with it?
Thanks in advance
Hey guys, 2 issues.
On Malaysk's ROM, when the screensaver with the clock and speedo show up, it interrupts any video I am watching...ie YouTube. I does not mess with non-video apps like Pandora and Spotify.
Also, I never went back to fix this, but my button LEDs dont show. Only at Boot, everything lights up, but then they go off and never come back on. So no dimmer control either.
HELP...lol
Maybe it's just me, but I couldn't figure out how to set a screen timeout. I saw threads about screensaver, etc. but never came across a post about telling how to make the HU turn off the screen automatically and stay like that. There is a legend about Android being configurable, but this is killing it for me.
I know there is several ways to do it manually like long pressing the Mute(thx to Wolf Hamburg) or trying to locate the incredible small on screen button, which I find even more stupid and dangerous than texting in the car. But besides it's far from being comfotable, there are a few more issues which I should face when the screen is off. First it will turn back on seemingly random. It will turn back on if I change the volume, not like on my phone. To avoid this I tried to activate the speed dependent volume control, at most it could have been a workaround, but it was malfunctioning as well...(after 5 sec you switched off the screen it will set the safe volume, then turn back on the screen, if you retry it might work for some time after the second try).
What I'm looking for is a very basic functionality which works with every android phone I know: set a screen timeout (15-30 sec) and being able to change the volume without lighting up the display.
I would be really thankful for a solution!
p.s.: I already tried to switch off the stay always on in the debugger menu, without any effect :\
That bothers me too, specially screen coming back on volume change.
Hope someone develop a solution.

This isnt normal Android, its been modified to work with car head unit components in a car stereo and the Chinese devs have, annoyingly, done it so that ANY screen press, even volume changes, turns on the screen. Theoretically it shouldnt be too hard to change, just a case of searching for the code and of course there will also be some sort of interaction with the MCU. You could try looking in the build prop if your unit is rooted.
If you have a Klyde unit with hard buttons, holding down mute will turn the screen off, this may work on others too.

Today; Is there any solution for this to turn off the screen automatically? I'm looking at lots of posts without finding anything. I hope someone can help me. I have Android 6.0.1 Mashmallow.
I use this app, activated by my SWC. Only minor issue is that you have to tap screen to turn on. Screen stays off during volume changes.
