[Q] NFC Automatically Turns Off - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

Is anyone else having a issue where NFC turns off on its own at random times? I'll try to S-beam with my girlfriend's S3 and impress friends only to find out that it previously turned off without me doing it. I use the Power Toggles app (link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDIxMiwiY29tLnBhaW5sZXNzLnBjIl0.) and think that MAYBE this is causing the issue, but I'm not 100% sure

Yes, you're not the only one. I'm on stock and not using that app but I'm still getting nfc off randomly. I don't use s beam often, so I just have a tasker profile that turns nfc on every few minutes, but it would be nice to know what's going on so I wouldn't have to. There's no pattern, it can stay running fine through reboots, and over the course of days, but then will turn off randomly multiple times in an hour.

I have a Galaxy S5, and my NFC also turns off randomly.

[Q] Fully crashed at random? (acting like turned off) has it happend to you?

Very strange thing happened to me today, went to wake my phone up from lock screen but I pressed the power button and nothing, no wake! I knew I had lots of battery left, but thought maybe it died for some reason, plugged in charger, no response still could not turn on, even holding the button down did no change, nor opening keyboard.
I then removed the battery and re-inserted, booted up and its working fine again
What happened?!
It just happens This happens to my Desire Z every month or so, no matter what rom I use. Recently I changed the radio the latest release, but it won't help I suppose... we'll see.
It seems nobody knows why this happens, many questions are scattered around the the forum about this hang and no answer
sorry for my english
gps make this problem (+ google maps + all google maps based programs)
just turn gps switch off
when you have to use gps, turn it on, use it, turn it off, reboot
and DZ should work fine
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=69305f1c1e5f8c31&hl=en
Not sure what causes this, but it happens occasionally to me too. Maybe once a month or so... Happened earlier today. Hadn't used Google Maps nor do I have any apps that use GPS to track my location.
Happens to me all the time, in average about once every 1-2 days. I put my phone on my desk with screen off, and an hour later it does not respond to the on/off button at all. Sometimes it will reboot when I press the button for over 15 seconds, but most of the time I have to pull the battery, which is a drag since I have a silicone phone protector. I have also noticed that every once in a while, the battery will be fully discharged when it does this. This morning my phone was at 80% battery power, I used it for a minute to check mail, then put it down. 15 Minutes later it was dead, and when I pulled the battery, all I got was a little screen saying 'Please connect charger immediately'. Kinda scary.
I've seen lots of posts about this too on androidforums.com and on MoDaCo. My wife has a Samsung Galaxy Ace on Android 2.2.4 and she has the exact same problem. I haven't found a solution yet, but it seems to be software-related (since it's not limited to Desire-Z), and more specifically Android-related (as it also happened on stock phones without any third-party apps installed). I upgraded to Android 2.3.3 last week and that did not solve it.
Other suspicions I found on other fora:
Correlation between 'phone sleep' and 'WiFi going to sleep' (some people report they benefit from keeping WiFi always off unless they really need it, some people report success keeping WiFi always on; for others - like me - it does nothing or made it worse)
Correlation between phone and SD card (phone does not work properly if the SD card is not the original one, or has not been formatted on the phone)
Correlation between WiFi and SD card (people report reformatting the SD card on their device helped, after they've turned WiFi off)
I have heard people that have had their phone replaced 7 times and all 8 phones did it, some others got the problem solved with one replacement, so it seems not all devices do it.
Check out this thread: http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-ace/312084-randomly-turning-off.html
A personal observation of mine - and maybe hardware gurus can comment on it - involves the micro-USB connector. Not only is it a pain to connect (compared to mini-USB), but I have noticed that it very easily 'jitters' if there is a slight bend in the cable or if you move the phone while it's connected. The plug will then sit slightly crooked in the connector and the phone will stop charging. And actually, I'm pretty sure that the first time it 'died' on me was when this happened. Would it be possible that this triggers the event? And that the micro-USB is the common cause?
I wonder what radio all these dying phones were running? I had 12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26 , now I'm running latest radio, but only a few months will tell if that helped or not...
Update: it's been about a week now since I've disabled GPS and I haven't had a single SOD since! Seems that at least in my case GPS was the culprit, like others on here already suggested. Can anyone else confirm?

my GPS on 24 hours already is ok... but Wifi is a no... i come out of the house this morning... it hangs again... totally black screen and it boot up again when i press the power button so my story tells me never on the wifi when you do not needs it... maybe i'll sent it to HTC SC for checking when i get a new phone... i duno whether i can survive 3~5 working days without it...
try this for a week or too:
have gps allways off when you dont use it.
when you have to use gps, turn it on, then after use turn it off and reboot the phone
and notice how many times you phone hangs in this too weeks
Hello,
i have the same issue with my Desire Z. Many people say its GPS related, i think so, too.
I never hat issues with GPS while navigate. But because the issue is probably caused bei GPS, i have a idea.
I use the wipe efs-data using for GPS from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1028405
I never had freezes since this. Maybe it helps everyone. Please try and give feedback. Thanks.
Yesterday my Desire Z did exactly that. For the first time. First I thought the battery would be dead, but connection it to the charger didn't even make the orange LED turn on. So only taking out the battery and re-inserting it brought my phone back to life.
I had WiFi turned ON and GPS NOT turned OFF (though no Maps or anything running, so there was no satellite icon in the status bar the last time I had used it).
I will keep watching it, if GPS OFF or an EFS-WIPE might help. But right now it has crashed the first time in about two weeks, so it will be hard for me to tell any improvement before at least a month has passed. ;-)
Tronar
Addendum: after finishing this post, I went downstairs to pick up my phone. And it was dead again! Seems to be happening more often at the moment, than I thought. So I'm going to do an EFS-WIPE now.

google maps is running still in background (also when You try to kill it with taskkiller it will stand up) and use (or try to use) gps for example for location for weather forecast. it can happen that the gps icon cam in notifications bar only a few seconds so You can't see it
it is possible that another apk use (or try to use) gps to get Your location, geotagging photos or so.
just have always gps off (when you haven't to use it and reboot after using) it helps
Bad News, wiping efs-data did not resolve the SOD . Yesterday it happens again.
My gf has the Desire Z and loves the phone - cept for this random issue of her phone freezing on standby. After a bit of screwing around I found out it is definitely related to the GPS module. Whether it's a hardware or memory leak it doesn't matter to her. You can crash her phone anytime by simply using the GPS and any software (she likes google maps / navigation) when she's done whether she turns off the gps or not, makes no difference - within a few hours at the most - it'll crash every time.
The short version, after using your GPS you'll have to restart your phone and you'll never have it crash again.

maybe this is related to this other case? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313800
My guess is it needs to toggle so you can recieve calls. When we get Wi Fi calling then it will be fixed.

yup, mine does this as well. just got it a few days ago. seems like when the screen turns off, the wifi turns off with it. every time I unlock the phone, I see the wifi icon come on and connect automatically. and YES, I have checked the wifi sleep options. wifi is set to NEVER turn off.
Also it sometimes completely disconnects from my router and I have to turn wifi off and on again to reconnect.
hopefully this gets resolved with the next update.
concering the issue if you look in your wifi settings and you see it scanning every 2-3 seconds, would this fix it? i remember a developer had made this adjustment to the buildprop when i owned an optimus V.
Changed wifi supplicant scan interval to 60

Post issues found in the ICS Leak (I927UCLG9)

its real nice to finally have some ICS goodness on my phone, but i have found some issues.
my Motorola Roadster 2 bluetooth speakerphone does not work well with this version of ICS. will not let me use the call/text button.
i am finding some apps not working correctly, i.e. Pushover - the notifications do not make a sound. Not sure if that is an app issue, or an ICS issue.
*edit* ok so it seems that i am not getting any notification sounds. sms, voicemail, etc...
also the volume in general does not seem as loud as the 2.3.6 firmware was.
anyone else find any issues?
*UPDATE* after wiping within cwmr most of my issues were no longer present. the only problem i had still was that notification sounds didnt work after a couple hours. i dont know the cause, but i used audio manager widget and set the profile to loud, and restarted phone. havent had them go out since.
I have all these issues except tue bluetooth thing

atleast it is not me.
i am going to reflash my phone to see if it may be an issue with not clearing out the phones memory and storage first...
My wifi didn't work for a while. It would see my access point but wouldn't connect. Reset the router and everything went back to normal. GPS works, Stereo BT/OBEX works, 4G works, camera works. Those were my big items, as I'm sure they are most people's.
My only issues are that I can't switch to 2g (At&t rom....) and how friggin Touch-wizzy everything is. I was expecting them to embrace the whole holo thing a lot more, but all the buttons feel like they belong in GB, same with the notification menu and the settings icons.
EDIT: I am on rogers, in case any rogers people see this so they know that everything works on our network
i wiped via cwmr and reflashed the ics rom. notifications work again. have not rooted yet, wondering if that may have been an issue with it...
Changing the lcd DPI causes the rom to corrupt i guess, since when i do it, after the reboot, i get to the samsung "logo" and then black screen, and it feels like the device has shut down. The only app that would say "success" when i change the value is Lcd Density Modder.
- i had the notification sound bug, but then i changed the notification sounds to my likings, and then i used Audio Manager widget to set the volume loud, no problems ever since.
ok rooted and all is fine. maybe i just had a bad flash. my bluetooth speakerphone still doesnt work, but that is an issue that i will have to research
For me, i had the only issue with ICS (excluding the known thing with the keyboard not flashing) - timezones from 2011 year with wrong summer times.
Luckyly fixed it with timezone fixer from google play.
Tethering doesn't work, seems to be broken and results in a blackscreen.. Both Usb and Wifi Hotspot give this issue.. Anyone else getting this
One weird thing my phone does is when it's been asleep for a while, the lockscreen clock will fall behind and when I wake it up, it'll catch up a couple dozen minutes at a time.

I've rogers version but unlocked and working with a local carrier. Wifi is not a problem at all, i'm getting the same speed and used wifi continuously for over 2 hrs to download all my apps back after the update.
When typing with the keyboard, pressing the alt. Key once makes it select all the special characters. I liked the older one where if you press it once, it operates just once when selecting the special character, and pressing it twice makes it select more than one. Not that big of an issue but to some people it may be.
Also, the brightness thing. When I turn off the screen, and turn it on again, it flashes from the highest brightness to the current.

On AT&T here, and having wifi issues as well... Once the phone drops wifi at idle, it doesn't want to pick it back up unless I turn wifi off and back on again. Setting the wifi to never sleep has been my only workaround.
Also having some issues with the button backlights. If I don't touch the phone long enough for the button backlight to turn off, touching the buttons won't turn the light back on. Touching the screen turns the backlight on again, but it's slightly annoying.
I haven't noticed any wifi issues and I use my Glide exclusively as a wifi device. I'm copying my backup of Inception v2 back right now though because the battery drain on the ICS ROM is definitely an issue. Losing like 10% an hour with my phone just sitting there with the screen off.

Have you ever took note of your battery life with a custom ROM or kernel? When I picked up my Glide it had a stock ROM but I only had it for an hour before I put a custom on it. I didn't mess with the stock one at all so I can't compare to stock 2.3.5/6. But with Inception v2/ardatdat, it was definitely better.
I was going to restore my backup but copying it back to my phone made me realize how painful it is to copy backups with CWMR 6 compared to 5. That new blobs folder makes so many files that it took 3 hours to copy 3 of my backups over USB. Ouch.
But since last night, the battery life seems to be behaving better. Its been sitting here and not just dying. I'm wondering if it could be the battery stats file. Maybe I'll try wiping it. I'm sure once we get a lower voltage kernel and I can underclock with profiles for the screen-off and stuff, it'll be fine again.
Unrelated but has anyone taken a screenshot with the ROM yet? ICS is supposed to have it built in, power button + volume down at the same time for a few seconds from what I read, but didn't seem to work.
Edit: Its home + power button at the same time.

when you flashed ICS did you wipe everything then run the ics installer? my first install sound and such didnt work, so i wiped the phone in cwmr and reflashed ics and it is better that it was on 2.3.6

[Q] Display timeout-charging, not charging, won't auto turn off???

I have looked through this forum, in the QandA and have not seen anyone post this problem. Is anyone experiencing the issue where your screen wont auto turn off? I have changed display timeout to 30 seconds, 1minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes and so on... display wont turn off on its own. Also, when charging, if a notification comes up, screen awakes, but wont shut off again. Just curious if other users are having a similar issue or if I am the only one. I know this was a problem for S3 owners, but there was no real problem identifying what was causing it. Any help would be appreciated.
Set up as follows:
Stock JB Build
Rooted
Stock Kernel
(Only Titanium app data {not system} restored)
Almost all syncing data set to 1 hour refresh or greater
Smart Stay is turned off
Pattern Lock enabled
I think that covers most bases and options, but if I am missing something, I would love to know.

Thank you for your input. However, I had checked that option, it was not on to begin with, I turned it on, and then off again, it did not reenable itself, but it still is not the culprit. I am baffled right now.

[Q] touch key lights bug

hello everyone , so i use to have this bug back to kitkat also but it wasn't happening as often as it doesnt now that i have lollipop rom installed on my galaxy tab s T705 , the issue is with touch key lights which stays on even when i have them always off from settings , they act super weird when they are in that mode , they go off few sec after screen is off and if i shake the device they go on again as it looks like they are connected to accelerator sensor or something lolz ,the solution is super easy tho just hit the power saving on and then off again and they work normally again i heard some other ppl dealing with same issue but i wanted to know if there is a perma solution for it or not , im sure its a software issue but is there a way to fix it ?
Install a custom rom like cyanogen or something stock based.
I have the same problem. I usually have it set to turn the lights off after 6 seconds, but after a couple of days they don't work anymore. I would change the setting to off, then on, then back to 6 seconds, and it'll work again. After a few more days, they stop. I haven't seen a permanent fix for this.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Tapatalk
Same for me. Would usually opt to have the buttons backlight always off, but randomly it starts actin like always on, although the settings remains 'always off'. Toggling the setting to anything else and back to always off fixes the problem temporeraly.
Im running stock swiss lollipop on my t700.
Yes, this is driving me nuts too! I hope they resolve this in the next update and soon!

Same problem with the lights on after a while even though set to always off. Seems to work properly under 1.5 sec setting option. I would love for the lights to be always off though.

I have the same problem as everyone else, which I am very "happy" to hear because I am not the only one apparently dealing with it. I purchased the tablet a couple weeks ago and noticed that even though the setting for the touch key backlight is "always off", it goes on when I open the case, and sometimes goes on and off and goes weird. I contacted Samsung and they requested that I send in the tablet for repairs, so I did. At the same time, I contacted Amazon and they sent me another Tab S tablet. I have a month to return the other one so I figured I'll try this second one and see if I continue to have the same issues like the first one. Sure enough, I had the second tablet for less than a day and it's doing the exact same thing! So far the 1.5 second setting seems to keep the darn lights off. Sometimes doing a soft reset will fix the issue temporarily, but not permanently. If anyone figures out how to fix this, let us know! I'll be following this thread. I hope there's a software update to fix this.

I believe this is a software bug so all tab s running the 5.0.2 lollipop will have this issue.
And to reply to the other poster: The problem will occur after a while, the lights will just turn on and stay on when you wake the tablet. Changing the setting and choose Always Off will fix it but it will come back after a while.

I heard that there's a new update available for the Tab S. (I already returned my tablet before my 30 days to get a full refund.) Did any one get the new update, and if so, did it fix the issues like this touch key light?
Hey,
I had this problem on the original KK software - upgraded to Lollipop a few days back and I still have the bug... in fact, it is even worse! Occurs more frequently than on LP.
I wouldn't mind leaving the lights on all the time, but they're so damn BRIGHT, and there's no way to adjust the backlight intensity!
Cheers,
Su
I found this solution on another forum...
If you enable smart stay, the touch key light duration will work properly.
Any further movement on this?. I've found that if I take my tab out of the book case the problem goes away. Seems like it's a bug with the case sensor.
No movement that I'm aware of. I'm really frustrated that there hasn't been a fix after all this time. I'm holding out hope that if there is ever an update to Marshmallow, that the issue will go away. Interesting observation about the case -I have a book case on mine. I'll remove it and see what happens...
