Automatic Lock Issue

I've got a problem with my Excalibur that it automatically locks after a few seconds even if auto lock is disabled or set to any time, i.e. 24 hours. I've got the HTC_WWE_1.33.422.1_4.1.13.51_03.07.90_Ship rom installed. My phone is also sim and application unlocked. Any help would be great!

Any ideas?

I have not had that problem. Have you done a hard reset and it still does it?
I do not use the auto lock.

Screen rotation problem

Hi,
I have noticed that sometimes the auto screen rotation doesn't work anymore. I have tried to disable and enable again the screen rotation icon but it doesnt help. The only way to restore the screen rotation is to reboot my Note2.
It happens every time after having used a few days my device.
Any idea what could be the reason for this bug?
I am using a stock Rom with root.
Smart rotation is off.

I have just noticed that enabling and disabling the Smart rotation ( in settings-display) restores the auto screen rotation.

You can try and recalibrate gyroscope in settings-motion-advance settings-gyroscope calibration.

So the smart rotation trick stopped working for you?

Yes and every trick stopped working.
I have installed the app "Ultimate Rotation control" . With this app, I can force applications to rotate but it doesn't
work when the rotation is set to "auto" ( of course until I reboot)

Bummer! I have the same bug but it is the only bug so I'm not going to complain too much!

I think but I am not sure that the bug appeared after I have flashed a Perseus Kernel (I see that you have also
a Perseus kernel)

Maybey i found the problem
I maybey found the problem for the screen rotation glich!
I've done my reboots and taking the battery out etc...but after a while the problem kept returning!
Now....i've been wondering around on some forums and i found and read that they have the same issues after the 4.1.2 update!
So.....i tried all the apps on my phone.....exept one!...YOUTUBE!
I have uninstalled youtube and also turned it OFF in the aplication manager!
rebooted my phone!...and gues what?.....my note 2 is running like sunshine and no screen rotation problems! (knock on wood)
Sometimes when you put like a..news app on...some news apps also use Youtube for a movie to show you whats happening wright?
So if you didnt used youtube but did lool at your news app..youtube gets activated without you knowing it!
And then...also yhe screen rotation glitch returned!
Since i put toutube off.....problem GONNE!
But then again.im not a specialist!...im using:
baseband: N7100XXDLK7
Version 4,1,2
Kernel: 3.0.31-679347
I have a unbranded phone!
But ive read on forums that this is a problem for ALL THE NOTE 2's after the update!

Tick auto display brightness and it will rotate!

I too got the same problem some times back. And along with that the network was also not getting detected. Some of my friend told that the network IS is gone. But I went to the service station and the software up gradation makes it alright.

Did we ever figure out a real fix for this? Was the true cause of the problem ever even isolated? I am aware of the "auto brightness trick", but have also heard about fumbling around with the multi window feature or opening the dialer to "unlock" it.

[How To Fix] Strange things happening to my N7100

Hi Here is bunch of things started happen without reason and cant find fix.
1. Gallery app freez for over a minute and crash if the phone is connected to wifi, but works perfectly if connected to 3g or not connected to any thing.
note: i unchecked photo sync for every account because i noticed that when the gallery freezes the wifi traffic is too high
2. Homescreen picture changes after making or receiving calls from certain contacts .

It's interesting that you mentioned this-I have been having a weird wifi hang lately and twice I have had the home screen wallpaper Change on me when it happened

Whenever I reboot my Phone it asks me which launcher I wish to use. Even if I choose to always use adw.
Anyone knows how to fix this?

hi thanks for taking interest in to my thread
When exactly the wifi hang , because i noticed that when the phone is waking from a deep sleep the wifi takes about 5 to 10 seconds to get back to full signal .
Does the wallpaper changed after you received or made a call?

hi thanks for taking interest in to my thread
try to clear the launcher defaults then restart and then select the adw to be default.
the idea is to restart with the default cash clear. it may help , tell me if it worked.

My wife uses different ring tones for different contacts. The problem is that every now and then it defaults to the main chosen ring tone and have to set them again. I was wondering if any usual updates to apps may be causing it.
Anyone else with this problem?

May be that happens when she plug the phone to the pc to add or remove media . The media scaner that runs after she unplug may cause loss of assigned ringtones. If that is the problem try using airdroid from the market its free very easy to use. If not try to know when exactly that happens .

Thanks for the quick reply. The phone has never been physically connected to the pc. Only connections are via Bluetooth to transfer photos etc. Will check next time if anything changes after Bluetooth connection though.

I can't remember, to be honest.
My note is set to disable the lockscreen when wifi connects to certain WIFI routers. (work/home).
I suspect that might be the problem, but I can't for the life of me remember what program is turning on/off the lockscreen.
Never seen any issues when getting/making calls.

Strange thing: if I choose touchwiz to always open as default then reboot it doesn't ask for launcher again. If I choose adw it asks every time I reboot

Same thing happens to me occasionally, but I'm hoping there's a better fix than "reboot it" out there.

Try flashing a new modem, i had a problem like this before, and i updated to a new modem and it works perfectly.

Someone found a solution to this issue? Yesterday my G3 was not working even rebooting it. I ran out of patience!

Faster gps changes the GPS.config,LG G3 gps should work as it is.

Except it does not.
On every phone this app speeds up the GPS lock. It's simply needed. Also on the G3.

Thread can be closed

But how did you fix it?

I have a Canadian G3 -D852.
I initially had concerns with the gps..
I use Gps status toolbox app and then the gps test appand seems to be locking alot faster.
Let these apps help you connect a few time and download the agps data and then see if it helps.

Screen Brightness Keeps Resetting to Default

Never had anything like this happened to any of my phones. Just received my G4 last night and notice that my screen brightness reverts to 100% when I restart the phone or start the phone after removing the battery. I have had it set @ 50% w/ auto. Any ideas of what's happening?

How does one do that, btw?

Thats weird. I do not use auto but this is the first time I heard of this. I know when the phone overheats, it attempts to lower the screen brightness down to 80 and 90 percent, and throwing it back up on 100% once the temp is below a safe number. Perhaps this is what is happening. Maybe the throttle threshold is reverting off of auto because of temps.
I would factory reset and see if it gets cleared up. I would also check out the debloating thread to remove any unwanted carrier crap.
What model/carrier is your G4?

Do you have a SIM card inserted into the phone. I had this happen to me and figured out I needed a SIM in the phone for the screen brightness to not go back to default when phone is rebooted.

Totally funny you say that - I don't have a SIM in it at the moment. I'll pop my wife's card in tonight and see what happens. I think you might've hit this on the proverbial nail head.

Yes, it's all because no sim card is inserted yet. Almost all LG's since 2013 onwards work this way. BTW, your screen auto lock time won't stick either without the sim card (set it to whatever you like, but when you reboot it'll probably revert back to two minutes...)

old post, but mine doesn't have a sim-card yet. Thanks Again.
That makes sense.
LGE asume that the phone is in a demo-prototype inside store when there is no sim-card in it. There LG is trying to seduce buyers by boast their IPS-display for potentially new customers as do Samsung and Company in the demo-mode.

Found same issue with few of my newest LG K8 2018 with 7.1.2. Have tried to enable Auto-brightness, turn brightness off - after reboot the Auto is unchecked and the brightness level is set to maximum. LG, you
are odd :laugh:

Just ran across this after having this issue in my LG V20 (H910) and no, I don't have a SIM in mine either. I sure hope you're right!
I can say for sure that a Factory Reset won't fix it, as this is a new phone. And I even did a Clean Install of a Nougat ROM (same Android version) and it did it both before (out of the box) and after.
I know this is an old thread, but in case any of you guys see this post, I'll let ya know for sure on Tuesday after the SIM is put in. If that's it, it'll be one to add to the "Holy Book of Androidedness".
Yes, I actually have a 3 ring binder with that label on it, where I write the steps to Install ROMS, fix various problems, etc..
Thanks!

Wow, wasn't expecting to be quoted after so many years... ? ?
I've gone from the G4 to a 5 and then to a 6, and all of them behaved the same way on any stock based rom. So pop in the SIM card on Tuesday, and I'm pretty sure your problem will be fixed.

So it has been determined that LG devices now increase brightness to maximum soon after Android loads when no SIM is installed.
How does one correct the problem without using a SIM? The problem is rather annoying.
