Screen flicking - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, everyone. When I turn my phone, I have to turn off then back on my Wi-Fi so it connect again to my rooter. Then my screen turn off and on about two times. Won't happen again and if I turn phone off and back on, won't be triggered. Rooted and running g3 tweakbox. Started about two days ago.
Any hint?

Using nova launcher prime. Do it on launcher, in some app too. only if wifi disconnected but stayed on. leaving house and comming back, not happening...

Instead of flicking i should maybe say turning off than on, but it is not the screen, since notification and menu bar stay on and they don't turn off. Happen when using nova launcher or home launcher..... Unrooted now to see if it happen again....

even unrooted happening...

And using smart tools flashlight widget, nova launcher flick 2times but not with lg original launcher.... kind of bugging me a bit and it seems I am the only one.....
But not flicking using another flashlight widget.....

Third party lockers not working?

I've been having some problems with third-party lock screens, for some reason they'll work for a while. But then randomly they will just not lock the screen. Also, no matter what I do the stock lock screen will not go away. I've tried Go Locker, wp7 locker, and magic locker, and none have worked for me.
Is there any solution for this? I like having custom lockers so this is extremely irritating.

I'm using Go Locker with a WP7 theme and it's working. You also have to use Go Launcher and in Settings>Security change Screen Lock to "None"

I tried this, and it works fine for awhile, but after an hour or two the locker wont even pop up, it'll just show the home screen or whatever app I was last in.
The only fix I found was to disable and re-enable it, and thats only temporary.

I have been using Widget Locker for months and it works great. I had to set the option to allow it to keep an icon in the status bar, but once that was done it has only failed to lock once or twice and I use my phone a lot.

Screen stays on ALL NIGHT

I dont know if anyone is facing the same problem I have now, my n2 screen wont turn off by itself. I have set the timer on 15secs, smart stay disable. It juz wont turn off when idle. And if its fully charged, it will stay up all night as well.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Does it relate to my Omega rom or Redpill kernel?
Thanks
Do you have motion on?
Reboot?

Check developer options, stay awake. Make sure its unchecked.

experienced this after upgrading to 4.1.2 weeks ago. backed up everything, complete-wipe then reflashed my rom(always on stock). no more issues. must have been a hiccup.

I had this even when I was on 4.1.1. Thought the upgrade would solve it for me but it didn't. Tough luck. Still searching for 3rd party apps that could give me a permanent solution.

i noticed this problem sometimes with 4.1.1 but not with 4.1.2
I dun have a fix to this problem but I have a tasker profile that turns the screen off when battery is fully charged. You might want to try that as an interim.
What is your screen time out once mine was changed automatically check that
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
There's a button on the side for that
Just kidding, that's very strange. I noticed if you reboot the phone and don't touch it, when it comes on the screen never turns off either. Doesn't matter if it's plugged in or not.

I dunno if I'll be able to use tasker. I've not rooted my phone I'm still a noob and dunno if I can pull all that off on my own ^_^

I had that problem when using smart stay and smart rotation settings turned on in display settings. After I turned them off the screen shut off after 30 seconds as it should every time.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Yes I noticed when 'smart stay' is turned on it causes the screen to stay on all the time. It's not a perfect feature. So I've turned it off
Sent from my SGH-I317M using xda app-developers app
do you have the power option to stay on whilst charging?
It's not smart stay, not the screen rotate with your head thingy nor the developer option that keeps the screen on while the device is being charged. I turned all that off. This is clearly a big that I've had from 4.1.1. Can't get rid of it. Annoyance at its peak.

Weird. That is annoying.

Are you saying that the screen just won't turn off, or that it turns itself on and then won't turn off?
If it's the first, my guess is an app which prevents the screen from turning off, didn't release its lock after being shut down. This can happen with some games, I've seen it with angry birds and jetpack joyride, titanium backup has done it too. Try to empty ram and kill processes, and/or reboot, though I would guess you might have tried that already.

If doesn't turn on on its own. When the bug kicks in, the screen doesn't go off if it's manually turned on or If a missed call or message is left unattended. Hope you got that. But yes, I can turn off the screen manually but doing that every time is ridiculously annoying. The bad thing is I cannot know if the bug is active or not without actually watching my screen till the timeout. Annoying bug! I've tried various things and I do not know what's causing this. I'm on stock rom, never rooted.

alternative lockscreen app that isn't bugged?

Hi everyone I've tried all alternative lockscreen apps on the market but they all share the same annoying bug : if I unlock sliding on a shortcut e. g. whatsapp. once I press back to quit the app and (logically) going to my home screen, it goes back to the app that locks my phone and locks it again. this is not really functional. all I was looking for was a way to have different wallpapers for both home screen and lockscreen. tired of having the same one for both. suggestions?

It's not a bug, it's programmed that way.
App called widgetlocker can do what you want.

Smart tips screen bug.

I adjusted my home screens the way i wanted them, and then some time after rebooted my phone. When it booted back up, one of my screens was sitting over top of the smart tips and fitness screen as shown in the attached picture. I cant remove the icons and i have tried turning off smart screen and turning it back on, but it stayed the same. I cant think of anything short of a wipe and restore that would fix the issue. Has anyone else had this problem?

had this issue on:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2824251
sorted itself out yesterday and the icons are now gone! wondering if the 10e update fixed it. previously if I restored home screens from a backup it restored the icons that were present when the backup was taken. just tested with my last backup backup that had 2 icons on the screen and they have not reappeared ☺

[Q] Missing Widget Tab

When I open the APPS the APPS tab is there but no longer does it show the Widget tab. I'm wondering how to get it back.
Are you using the stock Touchwiz? I never had a widgets tab in the apps drawer on stock. Just touch and hold a home screen.
Are you using a different launcher?

I'm using Nova and it always had widget tab however I tried holding on start screen and HOLY COW up comes what is missing. I never knew about that. THANKS for the help.
I haven't used nova in a while but I'm sure in the nova settings is a way to bring back that tab in the apps drawer.
