Some phone issues

Every first time (locking phone to redo it also happens) that I put in my pattern unlock, it always stop by itself before I'm done putting in the pattern. I am rooted but i'm not using a custom rom.
This could be a tmobile problem but my friend and an ex said they text me a couple of times before but I never received any text messages. I'm using the stock messaging app. This happened yesterday and I still never seen the texts. This is probably happening with sent texts but I'm not sure. I'm in Atlanta, Georgia if anyone else is having similar problems in the area.
I also have a calling problem where I'd call someone sometimes and it says they pick up but they really didn't and I don't hear anything. I think it's a problem with wifi being on but this also happened on my old side kick phone '08 model before i upgraded to this phone which doesn't have wifi.

bump. no one?
I just exchanged my phone yesterday and it's still having the same problems.

Bump again.. I reset my phone and the problems (mainly the pattern and unsure of other problems) eventually comes back.

No one is having this problem? Can anyone even try to reproduce the problem So I know that my tmobile place doesn't have a bunch of defects. I mean if I wait a Second or two before entering the pattern then it would work.
I also notice that there is maybe a screen/touch issue at the bottom right corner of the phone. I could see the issue with multi touch vis test in the play store.
I sometime have a problem with air view writing by itself and having the s note freeze up.

Wait till the lakers game is done homie!

I also noticed a problem with calls not being able to be picked up. I'll have to constantly slide the accept button before it answers.
I think there's also a problem with calls being dropped on wifi.
Airview sometimes draw by itself.

Bump again.. there's also a problem where screen is timing out too quickly. Even when I changed it to 30 seconds, it still times out at 15.
The battery also dies pretty quickly with occasional texting using the stock app. It goes from 100% at 8am to 68% by 2pm. People also have a problem hearing me when they call me or I call them and I'm on speaker phone. Even when I put my mouth closer to the mic they still can't hear me

Sounds like a wifi calling issue, it really doesn't work well for me, even on my old HTC Sensation I experienced the same exact thing. Wifi calling is enabled by default check in your settings menu and disabe it. As far asyour battery issues are concerned it sounds like there is something running in the backround draining your battery. Check to see if your phone is sleeping when it should be. Check all of your settings because it sounds like something is draining your battery. If you try all of this and still have a problem, go exchange it, perhaps you have a faulty unit. I hope this helps. The only time I have had the issues with calls as you've described it was because of wifi calling..

Well I turned off wifi and it all sometimes happen. It used to have the same issues on my other note 2, mentioned in the above posts. All the old problems still exist on this exchanged one.
Did you have any of the same issues above?

I don't use pattern unlock so I cannot confirm that issue. Battery life for me is outstanding, I did have an issue with it on the first day of use but it was an app causing it to be awake constantly. I uninstalled the app and my battery life is incredible 6+ hours of screen and calls and it still lasts forever. I am not aware of any missed texts. Wifi calling is just awful so I don't use it and I have no problem making or receiving calls and texts even when I have a week signal. Compared yo my Sensation this is a huge upgrade and I am not having any issues.

Friendcaster was the app. Sure, I will enable pattern lock and see if I have the issue you're experiencing.

Oh I don't have that app but thank you. Tell me how it goes.
Does anyone have a problem where you would constantly have to click the back button in the Web browser to make it go back?

Bump again.. is nobody having any of the problems that I posted about?
Is anyone having a problem where the screen wouldn't time out when you put it next to your ear while you're on a phone call?

bump again..
I just got my phone exchanged through the mail and it's still having the same issues.
Also there are these weird markings/dots on the inside of my screen. Maybe it's a lcd bleed/screen issue. It appeared in my past couple of exchanged devices. It wouldn't go away and I usually see it more clearer when I'm using the phone at night or on certain websites/games/etc that has the right lighting for it.

Once again. Bump..

Screen off and on without using power button !

hi all
first time poster long time reader
I am so tired of trying **** apps.
Could somebody please tell me what app works with the nexus four to allow me to touch the screen somehow to see a text message etc when it arrives??
for the first time ever I am missing the button in my iPhone that let's me hit it to see what is going on at a glance.
I just want a way to toggle the screen on without hitting the power button on the Nexus 4
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

The only way to do this is to leave the screen on, which would drain the battery. There's probably an app that would turn the screen off (or dim it), but this would keep your phone awake and drain the battery.
Someone feel free to chime in and correct me if there is such an app.

For the Gnex there's an app called “PGM", I emailed the developer if he had intention to update the app so it works with the Nexus⁴, but sadly he doesn't have the phone yet.

There is an app for that called tap tap app uses proximity sensor to lock and unlock screen.
Not positive is works on 4.2 but worth a shot.

Just wait for PGM to be updated for Nexus 4 support, OP; I can vouch for its greatness. You can enable double tap or slide to unlock gesture to turn the screen on. Once you get used to this, you seriously forget you have a power button.

It appears to work, but needs some calibration. I'm only able to get it working 30% of the time (if even).

you may try Smart Screen On : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.android.smartscreenonlite
works on my Galaxy Nexus running 4.2.1

I'm waiting on a kernel that has Sweep2Wake...that would be awesome with this phone.

Wow I cannot believe the responses I got...
Thanks everyone!
I settled on the Smart Screen On.
Works about 75% of the time...I can live with that till something better comes along.
I don't really understand why you cannot make text msgs received light the screen up like it does on an iphone. It was so convenient to just glance at the phone and see it was work texting yet again and mutter under my breath for them to piss off and then go back to playing Xbox without ever having to touch the phone.

with GoSMS i always choose the option for the pop up box and the options to unlock the phone, so when it's sitting on my desk next to me it lights up

Try Light flow for that... I think you can set a custom LED color and the screen to come on with certain notifications.

Yeah I've got Light Flow. You can set the LED colour and the screen to come on with some notifications. There is a 'lite' version which should cover the basics. But if you dont use the stock messenger or use things like Whatapp, you need the paid for version.
I use it and it has great customisation BUT at the moment I can't get it to work 100% of the time. So be warned!
It will be great though once they update it for 4.2.

For now I'm settling for half of the equation; screen off with a double tap. I'm using screen off and lock from Play.
I had PGM on my GN and it works very well, the developer is planning on getting an N4 the last I heard.

I'm currently looking into getting the phone to wake using the volume rocker -- I'm reading that it's inside android.policy.jar and removing two lines that ignore the volume rocker button presses.
Anyone want to give it a go? I'm going to look into it this weekend.

I emailed him too! That is one of the best app out there, in terms of the idea behind it. No real battery drain, but still be able to wake your device from sleep. I died a little after getting that email.
Kinda hope someone would do something like that for N4.
You can use Tasker+Secure Settings (pro version) to use the Google Now shortcut to unlock/lock the device, but there is no waking the device.

I too am waiting for pgm! That would be amazing

No notification anymore?

used to receive notification from facebook and messenger. But now, i don't get them right away. Get them around 5 or 10 minutes later. Sometimes even longer or never.
Using sonic rom but switch to cm10.1 to see if it fixes problem
But any fix for sonic rom?

I do believe that's a FB app problem. On one of my previous phone, notifications would hardly ever come in. If they did, it was literally an hour later. They do usually on this phone, not sure on time frame. But, I'm sure it's not ROM related and just buggy FB app.

CM 10.1 Bug

I'm running CM10.1 4/23, and i have this really small but annoying bug.
When you're in an app(ie messaging), when you hold the home button, and go to the recent app switcher, your supposed to see this sweet animation if the app getting zoooming out.
I sometimes see this animation, some times I don't... its getting really really really annoying. When I reboot, It usually works the first time, then the animation no longer appears 2 more times, then the animation appears once again.... Is it possible I could keep that animation on, or just turn it off completley. I've had to go back to touchwiz because I can't stand this stupid error...

I forgot all about the "task manager" trick with the home button. I've been playing with it for the last day now, and every time I get the animation. Both when I long press the home button to get to the app list, and then when I clear either one, or all at once. I'm currently on 5/11 nightly, so maybe it's fixed in the newer releases. Actually 5/11 nightly has been spot on. Super smooth, and no issues at all. I'm currently on 32 hours up time cause there is no RR, SOD, or reason to reboot. Maybe give it a try.

I just tried 5/11 and I'm still getting it
I don't clear all. I go toessagimg, go to task switcher, click messaging again, go to task switched the second time..... repeat process ....
The second the onwards, the. Zooming out animation dissappears

What do you mean by multiple messages? More than one at the same time or just a lot back to back?

If he is trying to send more than 30 in 30 minutes than he needs to go to settings-security- sms message limit and change it from default 30 to whatever he wants up to 500.

Can someone look at my original problem?

I believe he just doesn't know how to add multiple people in the "to:" Field. I know how to do it manually but he always sends out mass "just for today" n.a. readings to allot of people. I would show him but I'm not sure with jelly bean and cm10.1. Since my phone has its wip cm10.1 I haven't installed it on my metropcs lg spirit yet.

All my issues with the Nexus 5X

Hello, i just bought ny Nexus 5X a month ago and i really need some help with some of it's issues:
• Adaptive-Brightness, it's faulty on this phone, coming from an Iphone, where it works perfect, it's really hard to understand how such a simple function has problems working on this phone.
• Notifications, they always come slow, like after a few minutes from when you should normally get them, this is truly unacceptable, because there are times when things need to be done quick and I'm being held back because of this issue. I heard Dose causes this, but ive set it to not interfere with some apps but notifications come in the same, late.
• Facebook Messenger - whenever I open this app, I stay like 3-4 minutes looking at the screen with the contacts for it to load, and it's loading and loading and sometimes I need to restart it, what's up with that?
Anyone else has these problems? If so, please help, maybe it's something wrong with my unit.

-its software issue, download an app about that. its fixed in android N (it would be nice if they fixed it in M too...)
-if you also have the said programs in pc they sometimes interfere. i have noticed that while there is a short delay (2-5s) between pc and phone, sometimes messages take many minutes to arrive. i am not sure what causes that, and i cant remember if it happens both ways :/
-never had such problem, but i have deleted facebook apps anyway. mobile site is fine and you can send messages without messanger anyway. if you use google chrome it even notifies you (also works for firefox in pc but not android)

For the Facebook part, is your internal storage secure? I have been reading up to find out if that's what causes certain apps to load slowly. My wife will not be happy, lol.

While I agree that adaptive brightness is slow on the N5x it's still working fine for me. Did you check reportings of your light sensor?
You can fix your notification problem by setting the apps that you need immediate notification from to be excluded from Doze.
Battery > "more" tab top right corner > battery optimisation (not sure of the exact term as I use German android) > show "all apps" > change apps that you want to be excluded from Doze by marking "don't optimise"
Using fb via their mobile webside, so can't comment there.

I did the Doze part, notifications don't change.I really don't get why would they add features that interfere with something so important as notifications.
