I've got an issue with my 7, every time I set the sleep time (Settings -> Display -> Sleep) to something other than 15 seconds, it keeps resetting itself back to 15 seconds. It seems to occur every time the device screen is turned off or a timeout occurs. I'm on 4.4.4, stock, unrooted. There's no apps I can figure are causing this issue. I've tried removing it from the case, no help. It's basically making the thing unusable.
It seems to be the same issue here, though not exactly, as mine occurs immediately, not after several hours or charging:

Any suggestions? It's kind of driving me crazy.

I know there have been multiple threads on sleep issues but I haven't found one like this one.
My phone is able to sleep but only for a certain amount of time. It seems that after I reboot my phone, it can sleep appropriately for the first 8-12 hours and the battery life is amazing during this time and only drops about 20-30%. Up time verses awake time also reflects this. However, after about 8-12 hours, the phone stops going to sleep and the awake timer never stops running. This will drain the remainder of the battery in about 10 hours. After a reboot, the phone is able to sleep again until it develops insomnia once more. Does anyone know what could be causing the phone to stay awake only after being on for several hours? I'm rooted on the stock firmware with the latest OTA. Only extra programs are Google Voice, ePocrates, and Slacker Radio.
*#*#4636#*#* was no help in tracking down the culprit. Spare Parts contributed pretty much nothing either.
Mine did this for the first time yesterday. It's hasn't done it since, but it was very weird. I checked the sleep settings and it was still set to 1 minute, but the phone would not turn itself off.
Probably an app
Same Problem...
I have tried every thing to solve this issue. Change phones; problem return. No apps other than Stock; problem returns. Syncing Exchange, Facebook, and HTC Facebook. Custom Ringtones seem to increase the speed of the error occurrence. Tried leaving them off, but the problem returned. I have changed SD cards. reformated the card, and started it fresh. I have done a factory reset between each test (at least 8 at this point). I have a suspicious that it is the contacts that are getting corrupted, but I have not been able to verify that theory.
Mine has only done it on one evening and not since.
Hi all,
My Nexus has been doing something a bit weird the past few days... The display is set to go to sleep after 30 seconds of inactivity (and yes, I've triple checked it) though recently it has just been staying on the whole time until I press the power button. I tried a few things, like switching the inactivity time to 15 seconds, or trying it whether plugged in or not, but it still stays on. It's a bit annoying because I'm concerned for privacy if I leave it on my desk (in a college dorm room) while I'm out for a few minutes and it doesn't go to sleep, or for battery if I put it in my pocket and never turns off. Anybody have similar problems or solutions?
Thanks
To me, it sounds like an app is misbehaving, and thus keeping your phone awake... have you tried removing all of your apps except the essentials (gapps) and see if this problem still persists?
Yes so I just turned it off and back on; working better now thanks!
I've got a huge problem with my Desire HD that just drives me crazy and still I don't know what to do about it - googled for hours, haven't found anything but unfinished threads.
It started a while ago, I had a ICS - Aokp installed. Some day, WiFi turned off and when I tried to turn it back on, it either remained in the "Turning WiFi on..."-state or gave me an "WiFi Error". Also, the whole OS slowed down terrible.
I installed a 2.3.7 Sense ROM. Worked for a few days, I think. Then one time, the phone froze and after reboot, the WiFi Error occured again.
Switched to Virtuous Infinity v1.31.0. Worked fine for maybe a day, froze, same error. And worst of all, it slew down more than before. Example: Unlocking Screen -> (3 Seconds) -> Displays GUI -> Whatsapp Link -> 10+ Seconds -> displays WhatsApp - but that's not even the end, try to enter text when it displays 1 sign per second. You finish typing, wait 15 seconds to hit the "send"-button.
2 hours ago i installed JellyBean (4.1.1). Without it freezing, WiFi just turned off an won't turn on again. I rebooted, while bootanimation, it froze. I took out the battery, rebooted - it doesn't run as smooth as it did before and WiFi still won't work again. I think in the next 14 days it will slow down again like it did before. It's like there would be processes in the background that need the entire CPU power, but anyway i monitored CPU usage using SystemPanel. There was no CPU usage recorded. I killed apps, no difference. I also intended to monitor the CPU speed, but it wasn't possible with the previous kernel.
Do you have any suggestions, what i could do? Right now, i just want to smash my phone.. it's not dependable. Sometimes my phone rings but won't turn on the screen cause of the stability problems .. I am through so many Android versions, I'm just tired of installing new roms every 2 weeks so i can still use my phone.
I'm experiencing a weird problem with my M8. The unit would turn itself off all of a sudden. This happens without a low battery warning and no other error messages or warning displayed on screen. No beeps or audio cues, either. I would be looking at it and using it as per normal when it would just power down and turn off all by itself. This has happened twice in the last two weeks. In both instances, they have these in common:
a) Battery was low but not critically so. IIRC, the first time it happened the battery was at 25% and the latest incidence the battery was at 18%. The low battery warning usually given at 15% power wasn't displayed.
b) In both cases, I've just only turned the display on & started using the M8 for less than 15 seconds before it turns off.
c) In both instances, the mobile data & GPS was on. Wifi was off. Phone wasn't charging and the camera/flash was also off.
What I do after this happens is I would go home & charge the phone using the original M8 charger. The charging battery icon would be displayed and the charging level tallies with the last charge level that I see before the phone turns off. I let the phone charge for about 10 minutes or so before tinkering with it.
What's frustrating is that after these sudden shutdowns, some of my settings were reset & the phone will be wonky. I had to re-do the settings in both the settings app & also Google settings according to my preferences. Some default apps were cleared as well, so the phone would ask which app I'd like to use for my Home screen (either Sense Home or Nova Launcher, which I use exclusively). Some developer options were reset too, e.g animation scale etc. Other basic settings as well, such as auto updating apps in Google Play Store.
Also, first time it happened, I was locked out of my phone. The lock screen is displayed but all the PIN combinations I've tried seems to be wrong. The lock screen would go off after I try inputting the PIN. Restart by pressing vol button with power button didn't work at all. I'd touch the screen, the lock screen will be displayed, I'd try inputting PIN but I guess it's wrong because the screen just goes off. In the end, I had to reset the PIN number using Android Device Manager on Chrome running on my desktop PC. Only then was I able to access my phone. My wallpaper was reset, although my app icons on the desktop was the same as before. Apps were all there.
The 2nd time this happened was yesterday. I wasn't locked out of my phone but all my text messages (SMS) were lost. No other loss of data, as far as I can tell. But some of the settings, default app preferences & also app permissions were reset. Had to redo them all over again. Getting a bit tiring, this.
I don't understand what's happening. My M8 is on 6.0, stock ROM & unrooted. Never rooted. I've done the battery calibration steps once but that was before the Marshmallow update. When my M8 was running Lollipop, there were times when it would turn itself off as well but it was triggered by using the camera flash at low battery levels. However, settings, app preferences & permissions were not reset at all then.
Has this happened to anyone? What could be wrong? Would appreciate any & all feedback Thanks in advance.
This happens to me too. My battery is dodgy and it turns itself off when the battery is displaying anywhere up to 30%!! What I have found is that if you attempt to turn the phone on and it turns back off during the boot process then this is what screws up the settings. As long as it is charging and completes the boot without turning off then the settings are fine.
This is a MM problem. Wasn't present with LP as you and others have reported.
The only possible fixes on your end is to do a factory reset and then run the phone down until it shuts off and then charge to 100% with the phone still off. You can also try holding power+vol up+vol down for 2 minutes. This should wipe battery calibration stats. These suggestions may or may not resolve the problem but are worth trying.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
Its happening to me!
I thought this was MM issue but i have flashed cm 14.1 and still the same problem is happening. My phone turns of somewhere between 15%-30% everytime. I have tried re-calibrating the battery but it didn't help. Now i am thinking to sell the device due to this issue.
My girlfriend had the same problem with her HTC one M8.
I've replaced the memorycard with a new one last week and it didn't happen since. Hopefully this will solve the problem
Hi together.
I want to give an information about my experience with sudden shut off. I had this issue with my M8 since about six months now. Tried the stuff with recalibrating the accu without success.
Last thing I did was changing the accu. And now everything is all right. The power is remaining much longer over the daily use and I can bring it down below 15% without sudden death.
Hi!
Since the first (official) upgrade to Android 7, and even now with the new 7.1, I've been having this issue everytime I use any of these apps.
I always used runkeeper to track my mtb trails and it always worked perfectly. When this started to happen once, twice, etc, I decided to change to Strava, as I assumed it was an app problem.
The same thing happened on strava!
This situation happens on a random time (it happened once after 10 minutes of use, it happened other time after 2 hours of use, completely random). I have kept with strava as, after a force close, when I open the app again, it recognizes that a problem has happened and it restarts from the last recorded place.
Anyhow, this is a very annoying situation, as if I don't notice that the app closed, I will loose most of the trail.
I have disabled "Agressive doze & app hibernation".
Any other ideas?
Thanks
I have the same on 8.0. Compleate stopper for using OP.
All fitnes apps that use gps stop after 10 or 20 or 30 min of bacground work.
Also i use heart rate sensor and it does not restarts itself. It stales Bluetooth and you can not reconnect hr sensor without rebooting device
Considering to swith to Samsung)
Try turning battery optimization off in settings for those apps. I am not sure if this works but give it a try.
