I set my screen timeout setting to "Keep Screen Turned On" but it keeps resetting to "30 seconds". It happens every day, but so far I haven't been able to nail down what's causing it. The setting survives reboots. I thought I had narrowed it down to RocketPlayer, because I started launching the apps I use most and then checking the setting after each one and it changed after I launched RocketPlayer. However, I can't make it duplicate that behavior.
Any ideas on how to figure this out? I installed LogCat Extreme, but I'm not seeing anything obvious in there. Then again, I'm not too familiar with using LogCat apps anyway, so maybe I'm not looking for the right thing?
Found this entry in the log:
ActivityManager: Killing 10126:com.lge.lockscreensettings/u0a108 (adj 15): empty #17
Could that be the issue? If so, how do I fix it?
Well, I narrowed down the problem to the "Screen Off and Lock" app that I was using to restore the double-tap screen off functionality that I had lost when I switched to Nova. I restored a Nandroid from before installing that app and my screen timeout settings stay as they are set with no problem. I've written to the dev to see if they can find a fix. In the meantime, I am using a Screen Lock widget from Extended Controls . It's not as slick, but it's better than using the power button every time.
If anyone has a suggestion for an alternative app, I'm all ears!
Turns out Screen Off and Lock wasn't the problem. It's still doing it intermittently despite not having this app installed. Any thoughts or suggestions great appreciated!
Use titanium and wipe data for the lock screen settings and it has seemed to work. I mean it works for sometime but then you have to redo it I don't know why it is like this it has been like this since I bought the phone

I also have problems changing the lock screen wallpaper to anything that does not come preinstalled on the phone. This solves that as well. Temporarily.
I ended up getting an OTA and having to go back to stock. This time when I rooted and BUMP'd, I made sure to disable OTAs and then make a clean nandroid backup in case this behavior starts up again. I'm pretty sure it was from something I had installed or possibly from a conflicting setting in an some of the Xposed modules I was using.
Since the reflash, I haven't had any problems with the timeout setting staying where I put it.
Thanks though!

Hi, I was hoping someone could help me narrow down what could be causing this issue:
When my phone is plugged in and the screen is off, the phone will vibrate randomly (2-3 vibrations back-to-back, then it repeats it about every 30 seconds to a minute). When it started, I tried uninstalling all my new apps dating to before the issue, but it didn't fix it.
I've reflashed my rom ( Jedi Mind Trick JB 8 ), the problem went away. When I restored my apps & data with Titanium Backup, the problem came back, so I'm assuming it's an app.
I can run logcat through Eclipse, but I don't know how to read the log. Does anyone have any suggestions to narrowing down which app might be causing the issue so I don't have to install & test 1-by-1?
Thanks in advance for any help.
I'd bet your USB port is going. The fact that it was fine on jmt8 was probably a fluke.
Sorry, but that's my guess. It's vibrating like that when charging cause it keeps losing and regaining the connection to your charger.
My guess anyway.

Thanks for the suggestions. I replied like a week ago, but I just noticed it didn't post it. I fixed it - luckily it wasn't a hardware issue.
In case anyone else has the issue in the future... the problem went away after I did the following:
I have Xposed Framework installed, with the "Xposed Additions" module. I had the Wake on Plug and Wake on Unplug options both set to "Never". Not sure why that would've caused it because I don't have any other modules that would conflict, and turning those options back to "System Default" fixed the problem.
Sprint LG G3, the 990 version. Stock ui.
So yesterday this all started. The touch sensor suddenly stopped registering inputs. From my testing on it (this problem has happened dozens of times since yesterday afternoon) eventually after a few minutes of use the input will just stop working, but the phone functions still work. Videos and games continue to play, phone and video calls still keep running properly, and the home screen clock will keep running while the touch input is disabled. I can volume up and down, but cannot interact with the screen. The power button will not put the screen to sleep.
Eventually the screen will timeout, now I can interact with it again. I hit the power button like normal, and get a vibration, then the screen turns on and I get the dialog box to turn off or restart the phone over my lock screen, as if I long-pressed the power button. I can click away from this and start using the phone again like normal.
But it will happen again. I can get a few minutes of use usually before the touch input disables itself again.
I didn't download anything recently. I did disable notifications for my LINE app yesterday through the app drawer, but after this started I reverted that, just to be sure. Some apps might have auto updated, but this is happening in any app I use.
I have looked around lots of places, but can't find anyone else saying they have this particular problem. Any idea what is going on and how I can troubleshoot this short of trying a factory reset?

Hey, thanks for the reply. So I did what you said. I ended up doing a factory restore of my device.
I have had this phone since about a month after it was released two years ago. I rooted way back then, did not install any rom over it yet... and then a few weeks later my kid went and clicked through a software update one day and removed my root, so I just left it go.
Anyway, I did the full factory reset, and started setting my phone up again, and a couple times the problem resurfaced. No apps from the store yet installed, the phone just stopped responding to any touch inputs. I wait for it to go to sleep, and then wake it up to use it again.
This sucks, I guess this is forcing me to upgrade when the G5 releases. But any ideas still? I dread being stuck with the phone being buggy like this for another two months or so. It's not app related, it doesn't SEEM to be hardware based, since everything works perfect up until it just locks up. The problem happens with different batteries I use. There doesn't appear to be any physical damage to the phone at all.
Having a bit of an issue with the auto rotation on my OP3 where the screen snaps back into portrait after being rotated either by me or by an app, then locks the device. (if the lockscreen is activated) most apps respond by crashing once this happens.
I've dug all through my settings and come up empty on finding something that could be responsible. So I'm thinking it must be an app, or Xposed module, but again dug through everyone's who could possibly have setting that could do it, again came up empty.
So I'm really frustrated by now and wondering if anyone else has seen behavior like this, or knows what could be the cause.
I'm on the Resurrection Remix OS and as mentioned Xposed is installed. I'd be happy to post a txt of all my apps if someone is interested.
Thanks in advance, Idk what else to do but wipe it.
So figured I'd at least ask you guys before I do, just in case.
(Edit)
Guess I can add no recents menu to the list of effected. Plus now that I have that "on button push" ability to trigger this, I see it's actually resetting the system UI. It seems to crash then reload immediately, triggering the screen back to portrait and the system bar up top to redisplay (usually hidden).
I see a factory reset in my near future...
Well that's got to be a first, seems all I had to do to fix it was threaten to wipe it and it fixed its self!?
Seriously I haven't done anything since I posted this at lunch today, except start a Titanium backup, (which is still running) and as soon as I get home ready to delete it, I opened it up to a landscape view that wasn't durping out. How bazaar... Not sure now if I can trust it to behave or maybe I should wipe it anyway to be sure...
Anyone had this happen. Mine does it every few days and I have to go into home screen settings and toggle the switch back on. It does it on my wife's phone also. I saw in a Reddit thread a few people having the same issue. Have also had the issue where I can't use my fingerprint to unlock my phone and have to use my pin like the phone rebooted but it didn't. Not sure if the 2 issues are connected because I run into them at different times.

Are you sure that the SystemUI crashes?

Nothing crashes, it just randomly turns the home screen looping off.
Same issue here
My LG G7 is doing that, too, as is my daughter's. I'm guessing it's an app that has access to modify system settings, so I am going to remove permissions to modify system settings to a couple apps. I'll give a little time and see if that works. If not, I'll try a couple different apps. Maybe I'm on the wrong track, but since there aren't any other solutions out there...
This happens to my G7 and my daughter's Sylo4. Did you ever fix the issue?

Seems like the only fix is to go into home screen settings and turn it back on when it turns itself off. Sorry, I know it's not an actual fix. It has to bee some sort of bug.
I'm beginning to think there is a flaw in the software. Seems like there are a lot of things that happen randomly with this phone - wifi shuts off, wifi calling will drop mid call, keyboards reset sizing, random reboots, the screen looping thing you mentioned. I'm sure there are many more too

I ended up going back to the Galaxy S9 cause I got tired of the weird. LG issues. I had bluetooth issues with both the G7 and the V30 where they would randomly disconnect during a phone call which sucks, especially when you're on an important call with your doctor and it disconnects bluetooth while you're on the interstate
So I have a really strange thing going on with edge lighting which is driving me crazy.
Whenever I play Elder Scrolls Blades the edge lighting appears but only in the bottom of the screen. As far as I been able to tell this only happens in this app though I can't be 100% sure.
Now what is strange other than it happens only in the bottom of the screen is that it keeps happening every few seconds, there is no notifications received and it happens, if I disable edge lighting it still happens, no matter to what effect I set the lighting it always happens in stock blue.
I can't possibly figure out what is this and I tried everything, any ideas would be appreciated.
Same thing here, in at least 2 games...
Thought it was related to spen, but it seems not...
Tried to disable Game Launcher but still got these random bottom screen notification pulse... And stock blue aswell. Got no clue atm
Thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one experiencing this. I tried literally everything and nothing seems to fix it. What's also weird is that the lighting comes in irregular intervals, sometimes just going crazy and sometimes appearing much less.
I have just discovered this issue appears in all games so it's a bigger problem then I originally thought. If disabling the game launcher does nothing then it makes it even more strange and annoying.
Yeah, same here, happens on basically all the games.
Maybe related to game booster?
Let's try to compare our setup : are you using any notification enhancement app? (like aodNotify)
Are you using your spen while playing?
But yeah, this random glow line **** is driving me crazy too!
Currently I am using aodNotify though I tried uninstalling it and the problem persists, I also have goodlock installed and the edgeslighting+, same thing with and without it. I am not using the spen, but I have tried just taking it out while the game is running and leaving it out for 5 mins, no change. I have disabled and enabled the stock edge lighting as well and the problem is still there. Nothing seems to effect it. Its ridiculous
i tried on mobile legend adventure, no problem on it, perhaps a scaling issue?
Will try to tweak full screen mode.
Increasing dpi doesn't change the weird thing, neither switching from Samsung stock launcher to Nova...
Also I'm using gestures based navbar, but I also tried with or without tips display, standard navbar... Still occurring.
Did you go from a scratch Note 10+ or used SideSync to switch? (I was coming from a Note 8)
I don't think it has anything to do with scaling, I tried setting the game on full screen and automatic, both giving the same results.
I used Smartswitch from Note 9.
Later today the camera effect from aodnotify started appearing in the game aswell (landscape mode), along with the edge lighting.?
I uninstalled aodnotify afterwards, found out there is a aodnotify Manager plugin which stays after uninstalling the main app.
Uninstalled the plugin aswell, opened edgescreen from the system app and cleared cache.
It was showing the app was using RAM with high frequency.
I don't have the time to check now does this fix the problem but will let you know once I do.
The only other thing left to do if this doesn't work is to clear edge screen data.
Will try this aswell, and restore all the notifications and edge lightning settings...
What I wrote above didn't work so I disabled the option for edge screen to show on top of other apps, so far this seems to fix the problem.
Unfortunately I was wrong and nothing above fixes the problem. I also wiped the entire edge screen memory, no effect. This is the weirdest thing I ever encountered in my years of Samsung phones and it's extremely annoying that there is no fix.
Strange, I don't have any issue.
Did you try with and without locking the screen orientation to see if edge lightning follows settings as it should?
I personally only use auto orientation.
I also use auto rotation and it happens the same way in landscape and portrait, the most annoying thing is that it happens really much, like 2-3 times in 10 seconds, or sometimes doesn't happen for few minutes then starts going like crazy, and as I said before there is no notifications or anything.
Same here, auto rotate on, only occurring during games.
I don't even know if I can debug which process is running these random edge notifications, without dig into tons of log files...
And if not, I guess I'll try to factory reset and re-sync again..
Its incredible that a factory reset seems like only possible solution left but I hope maybe some future update will fix it since I hate doing factory reset. Please keep me posted if you discover anything new.
Hating doing it aswell but this is too damn annoying..
If no clue, I'll go for a restore without restoring system settings... Maybe some notifications behaviors have been messed up
I'll keep you in touch for sure
Tried to wipe cache partition, still no clues...
Did this also got triggered in portrait mode game?
So confusing...
Yes it happens in all games no matter of the screen orientation. I really have no more ideas aswell
Got some news, another post is talking about this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10+/help/strange-blue-bar-games-t3963939
Seems related to the new game booster feature "temp and cpu monitoring"
Will try to disable this for a specific game and see...
