My gnex has a strange problem.
Every once in a while it goes into a loop where the following happens:
Screen turns on and display says the phone is charging even though I am nowhere near a charger or cable.
The screen stays on for 30 seconds (until timeout) and the immediately turns on again.
It can drain the battery in a few hours when this happens, and there's nothing I can do to make it stop. Not even a reboot helps.
After charging, the phone goes back to acting normal.
There's no obvious pattern in battery level, running apps, or anything else I could find. It doesn't even happen in every charge cycle.
I have tried flashing another ROM, flashing another kernel, killing apps and processes, removing apps, going to flightmode and a lot of other things. Nothing helps.
Does anyone have an idea what's happening?
Has anyone else experienced this?
There was another user posting with this problem.
Then another two who came to his aid (kind of) saying that they had the problem before as well...and eventually had to turn their phones in for refurbs.
I can't seem to find the thread, but I do swear to the validity of my statements.
Hello,
My problem with the alarm is that when I set it on, it doesn't always go off.
If the phone is standing in the dock everything works fine.
If it just lies on the table it sometimes goes off and sometimes not. After I wake up late for my studies and unlock the screen I see some random hour in the middle of the night which quickly refreshes to current time. My guess is that the phone clock freezes due to some problem.
I don't have any task killers. I'm currently running Xperia NXT 1.1 rom.
As I said it is random. Sometimes it can properly go off. If the phone is charging it always works fine. Any help would be appreciated
I'm generally loving 4.2.2, but there's one issue I've noticed since updating. When I close my smart cover, the screen will usually turn off like it's supposed to do. But every once in a while, it will immediately turn back on at maximum brightness, then turn off properly after a few seconds.
My first thought was it was an app trying to update. But the fact it jumps to maximum brightness makes me think it might be system related. Anyone else having this problem and/or have a solution? Could some variation of this issue be contributing to the power drain some are seeing?
Since the 1.4 update my watch seems to lag displaying the watch face. It seems to happen more on certain stock faces than others.
I don't use always on mode so normally I would tilt my wrist and the normal face would show straight away. Now I've updated to 1.4 when I tilt my wrist the watch shows the ambient face for a second then the normal face.
I've tried unpairing the watch which now performs a factory restore as of 1.4 but this hasn't resolved the problem.
Has anyone else noticed this? I can get around the lag by having always on mode enabled but I don't know how this effects battery life.
Thanks all.

I use always on in combination with SWApp Dark app to reduce brightness of ambient screen and getting 2 days out of battery for my usage.
Not a solution to your problem, though.
Yep, same here. It like wakes up in Ambient mode for about 1 to 2 seconds from time to time. Not always and I notice it a mix on some faces more than others.
My daily driver face does not do it but my secondary does it all the time.
This issue is happening to Moto 360 Gen 1 and 2 watches as well. Loads of people are experiencing it, hopefully it'll be fixed soon.
Anybody noticed the little green light on the back of the watch staying on, even when you take it off and pop it in charger?
Tried changing from frequent to never in settings but stayed on.
The only way I got it off was switching off the watch?
well, mine doesnt have green light on, it is on only when measuring heart rate, and even measuring, the green light will only keep blinking rapidly. So i couldn't find a moment where the green light would stay on, like your situation..
EDIT: I think this may be your problem. On your watch, go to Samsung Health app, scroll a little bit down, and click on the Heart Rate, on the right side, you will see 3 vertical dots, click on it. Then, click on the "Gear" icon to go to Heart Rate Settings. Change it to Frequent or Never.
I think you may had the Heart Rate Monitor set to Always measure, which is why the green light keep lighting up as it was measuring your heart rate every second.

No, as I said - Tried changing from frequent to never in settings but stayed on. Never used always since new.
One correction though, when I say it stays on, I meant it stays on flickering fast as if it's taking a reading.... it's just not on my wrist and won't stop flickering
sorry, I missed out your statement. It could be other apps installed is using your heart rate sensor.. or even watch faces. does resetting your watch to factory help? I guess that is the last resort
Just tried the reset I read about in another thread (after I backed up of course)
Not easy holding down power then multi pressing, pressing the back key to select reset from miniscule letter choices.
Anyway it seemed to reset, but not sure if it was the right one!
Didn't realise Samsung pay loses all your cards even with backup and restore. Today's steps also gone, all it 'knows' is my target
I'll report back if it works.
I am having the same issue and I have it set to never. I know it turns on for sleep monitoring but it seems to be on all night. I wonder if the last update messed with it.
I have this problem too after updating to the latest tizen 4.0.0.1 , mine is 42mm.
Whenever the HRM breaks, the altimeter and barometer breaks too.
Reset from settings menu or doing hard reset with button will not fix this issue, but sometimes it fixed itself without me doing anything.
Only god knows what happen with this "perfect" tizen.
I tried a factory reset that didn't help at all. I then went into Best Buy and got a replacement watch because I have the protection plan and the watch did the same thing last night. I'm beginning to think it may be a glitch in the S Health app and not the watch
I think I figured out the issue for me. I noticed that in S Health on the watch, if you have REM sleep monitoring turned on the HRM has to be on too . There is actually a message to that effect on that setting. Sure enough, turned off REM sleep setting last night, no green light all night long.
Further update, if I turn off the REM sleep feature, it records me as restless all night - - no recorded sleep time

I got mine RMAed, got the whole motherboard replaced and every single sensor works well with tizen 4.0.0.1 (for now) :highfive:
really? wow. are you running by any chance and you can share screen from s-health with altitude data?
