[Q] Screen keeps turning on and off by itself. Occasional reboot.

Hi guys,
Just so you know I've posted this in the Optimus 7 thread and have gotten no replies after 2 days.
I've been using my Optimus 7 for barely a week now and I ran into this very annoying issue that happened yesterday.
My screen would turn itself on and off randomly and the device would occasionally reboot itself. I suspect it might be a hardware problem. I've done a factory reset and the problem persists.
Does anyone have any solutions/advice?
Thanks in advance.

I can only say - I use this one, LG E900, and have no reboots or screen going on.
But it may be a faulty app, however I'm not sure. My phone has over 1,5 months.

SD Card; had the same problem, changed the SD card to another - get this: same make, same capacity! BUT, I never had any problem since... that was 3 weeks ago

Return the phone for an exchange. I had a Samsung Focus briefly when it came out, no problems. Got another one near the end of Christmas, and had touch scrolling problems, the phone would shut off by itself every week or so, etc. If I hadn't had the first Focus, I would have assumed it was the OS. I took it by, exchanged, and have had none of the problems since then.

So it's the sd card? But this morning the screen stopped flickering on and off and the random reboots stopped. I'll monitor the situation. Thanks for your input!

had the exact same problem with mine, screen turning on and off, random reboots. Return it for an exchange or use the warranty to repair it.

No that's not normal. Try restarting it but if it continues to happen I would just exchange it to be honest.

I tried restarting and factory reset, no hope :/ any other fix for this or ill go for a refund but i love the tablet, other than that issue everything else works though that is more than enough to annoy me :|

Yeah sounds like you have faulty device or something, go to the shop you bought it from and get a replacement.

I hope you are able to return it without any problems... the video is based on a bug found in the earlier version of this tablet as the video was posted in April... first time I see it reported for the 2014 edition

i had this probleme sometime but every time solved by restarting tab.
Try to flash your tab

Not normal. Go get one that's not faulty while you can.

Sensors not working

So, I bought the Huawei watch in November 2015 and everything was working fine till Thursday last week. Thursday is when I bought the new HTC 10, so I had to factory reset the Huawei Watch in order for it to sync with the HTC 10. After doing that and syncing with the HTC 10, I have noticed that none of the sensors on the watch work anymore. By sensors I mean pedometer, heart rate sensor, gestures etc.
I have done a factory reset several times and also tried pairing and syncing the watch with other android phones, still the same result.
Can someone help me please, as this looks like a software problem as the watch has not been damaged or anything and it was working absolutely fine before I did the factory reset.

Google fit is installed?

Yep, it still did not work, I just sent it back to Amazon for a refund.

Must be a software glitch. Mine started acting up a couple of days ago. At first I noticed the screen would go to sleep although I had "Always on" on.
Today I noticed that neither the pedometer nor the HRM are working...

Same here.. for few days already hrm pedo and gyro? Not working. Never installed an update tho.

Has to be a software glitch if many people are facing similar issues, all the hardware sensors cannot just go faulty all of a sudden.

update. mines working again.

Any solution to propose or did it just start working again on its own? Mine's sensors are still dead...

i just did factory reset using the recovery. then after that still not working. then tried paring to other phones. 3 phone to be exact, then it started working. im pairing it to the original phone now no issues again so far.

do you tend to wash your watch? or submerge it into water?

Nope, never. Always remove it before showering. It's supposed to be waterproof to 10m as well.
I think it has something to do with the latest android wear update, since all the issues started around then (for me it was May 19th). It cannot be a coincidence that everyone's watches started going wrong around that date.

just restart your watch then try again.

I have already restarted/factory reset the watch many times to date and still no luck.

Me too sir how i can do for make it work again
Dear all concerns ,
Now , my watch can touch and i just install to 6.0.1 version but i can't using Heart rate sensor and another sensors anymore How i should to do ?
Thank you so much for kind support

I have the same problem, the sensors do not work. Some solution? Restart factory settings I have done several times. Thanks

Last I have seen that Huawei has made a deal with Samsung to use Tizen. They are not happy with Google not letting them customize Android Wear.

I know it is a problem with the android wear app. Does someone know how to fix it accept to the returning solution?

It is a known issue they'll rma it for this reason. On a side note I had that issue for about 12-24 hours and went away on it's own, no restart or factory reset was required for me. Really wish I knew what or why the cause but maybe it will go away, like mine did. :fingers-crossed:

Thanks I hope so too. Really liking the phone but for this money...

agreed I almost gave up, my first 2 were too blue and the 3rd fine except started that flash, but ultimately went away. Loving this phone!

Mine just started this week flashing. Running 8.1 since last week. Does your new replacement suffer from the same issue as well?
Thanks

Mine started today but it has been getting better as the day goes on. I'm curious if its an issue with charging. Prior to a few days ago I had been only using the chargers with that I've received specifically for the phone, but this week--since I'm traveling for the holidays--I've only been using my pixelbook charger, so maybe something isn't properly shielded and the flash is caused by a built up charge? Reason I think that is that it has been less and less noticeable as the day goes on..

My flashing went away the next day. I did do a factory reset just because I only had it a few days and no issues since. Although Google RMA’d my phone I sent the replacement back without accepting shipment as mine has been running like a champ since.

Got my replacement a week ago, 0 flashes so far (finger crossed). I tend now to think it's a hardware issue. Also blue tint is slightly better on new device...

I just got my Pixel 2 XL delivered to me yesterday. Set it all up, didn't get the flashing screen issue at first but now it's doing it. Tried to chat with Pixel support from my phone, they don't have a resolution for it yet.... Hopefully it's a software issue?

Mine started doing this about 3-4 days ago. I noticed that it starts to do it when night mode is on. If I go the RMA route, this will be my 3rd replacement and tbh I'm not looking forward to doing this.

Mine did it once with always on display on, I don't usually use that so I turned it off and it hasn't happened since.

I just received a replacement device yesterday due to a faulty speaker. No issues with the last device, but this device is now exhibiting the screen flash when locking.

Exact thing with me. I received a brand new device that I got because my previous one had a bad speaker (speaker phone distorted sound). This new one has the screen flashing problem. My original did not. Poor QC ... especially for $850.

Mine has been doing it for a couple of days, and it kept getting worse. On chat with Google Support now. Sounds like it's going to be RMA'd.

Redmi Note 8 Reboots sometimes

Hi guys. I bought Redmi Note 8 a month ago and I faced a boring problem. I can use the smartphone very well everyday but the smartphone reboot itself when not using. This happens only once every two days. I see that the issue don't effect using of phone but it's quite annoying. I think I can find solution in xda-developers. Can you help me about this problem?

I bought this device for my wife and have the same problem.
Yesterday restarted one time, and today twice.
I did a factory reset but it didn't work.

Wow guys, never faced this and i'm using it for 2 weeks now.
Do you ever modified something system-side that could cause this? Thinkering with developer settings... removing some system app, anything else? It's really weird.

new update 11.0.4 released try updating

15-05-2020 no solution yet, hardware problem, try to exchange in the store you bought, I have 3 of these garbage that I bought online and I have no way to exchange

Can try this?
I know the post is old,
If you know how to uninstall system apps with ADB can test removing com.miui.msa.global (Main System Advertising: Advertising and data collect).
It's safe to remove, but need testing about the restart idle issue. I'm testing right now.
EDIT: Doesn't work. Phone restart after few days.
