Just got my phone and so far looking it. One thing I thought was a bit odd was as soon as I started seeing the phone up, I noticed developer mode was enabled right out of the box. Has anyone else experienced that?

You sure it was new?
Should have been. That's what im starting to wonder. It came straight from Google but wondering if it was a return.
It's a default thing
Did you have Dev Mode on with your previous device? I did and when I transferred my settings so did the Dev Mode status.
I did come from a pixel 2 which did have dev mode on. I wouldn't have thought that to be a setting to carry over.

What is the red frame around the screen when using any applications it sometimes pops up?
I tried googling this and for an ICS manual but I can't find one, the box had very little in it
Thanks
that should only been seen in the SDK and not on the final device.
are you on the galaxy nexus?
yes I picked it up on the launch day, can I turn it off?
Can you provide a screenshot?

Also could you post a screenshot of your About Phone section, the one that lists Android version number and other information?

U probably got a developer version. Report to xda mods. Their will be hundreds of devs. Ready to buy this developer version of GN.
I'll type it, quicker than trying to find a free screengrabber that works on an unrooted galaxy nexus
Model number
Galaxy Nexus
Android Version
4.0.1
Baseband Version
I9250XXKK1
Kernel Version
3.0.1-ge2433f2
[email protected]#1
Build Number

Power + vol down is native screenshot FYI
But yeah, that's the retail software at least.
Have you been playing around in the developer settings menu?
Theres all sorts of options in there that do funky things. Go in there and see if there's anything ticked that shouldn't be.
Thanks for that,
Looks like it must have been 'Strict Mode' I've disabled it so hopefully it won't happen again.
I didn't enable this unless I did it accidentally.
Its something like flash screen when apps do long operation. Under development part in settings.
Not sure why this would have set to on from new though. Weird..
Just got my nexus and same thing. Thankfully google found this thread it was driving me mad.
Should developer tools be there at all?
Discovered my phone is also network unlocked despite coming free from ny carrier. Possibly could it be i also recieved a developer handset?
4.0.1 has quite a few bugs left to address too. But otherwise nice phone indeed.
From memory this is a way of displaying misbehaving applications for developers.
It's possible you've accidentally enabled it.

^ only got mine yesterday. It came with that enabled by default. Never touched any options in developer tools other than to disable that after reading the thread.
Red frame for ICS
Hi
Do i need to restart the OS after unchecking the strict mode options?
I still got the red frame after unchecking the option.

How about you try it? -.-
Seriously, takes about a minute. Why waste your time posting here?
So I have always used a site called (HOW TO GEEK.COM) http://www.howtogeek.com/ for any issues I have with my pc the people there are really smart and patcient with people like me who only have moderate skills and need guidence. I gert emails from them every day. They have been diving more and more into android. So I was reading today and I saw that just like your pc android has a safe mode that boots up only the stock software disabling all third party stuff. So if you are experiencing crashes or unusual battery drain or other problems you can start by booting to safe mode and seeing if the problem is still there. I am sure that this is nothing new to devs and others that have had android for a long time but I know I have been on this site for like two years and I have never seen it mentioned so I just wanted to let others know.
So to get into safe mode for 4.1 and later you go to the shut off menu and long press the power off and you will be asked if you want to boot into safe mode just say yes and done. The phone will reboot and at the bottom left corner will say safe mode. On older versions of Android, long-press the power button and then tap Power Off to turn off your device. Turn on the phone or tablet by long-pressing the power button again. Release the power button and, when you see a logo appear during boot-up, hold down both the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons. Continue holding the two buttons until the device boots up with a Safe mode indicator at the bottom-left corner of its screen. Thats it really easy. Its kinda like easter eggs. I mean if there is that then I am sure that there are other neat little things that we dont know about. I also read that starting in 4.2 they are hiding the developer options I for get just how to get it but it was something like going into about phone then pressing android version or build number 8 times or something like that. It was on the same site but I dont feel like searching right now but I am sure there are other things. Does anyone else know of any? I would like to know if you do post them here.
peace
Safe mode's been around on Android since the early days; just about every android phone has safe mode on it, but not always the same way to get into it.
You might help more people if you renamed this thread (or at least added to it), something like "How to get into Safe Mode to troubleshoot problems).
Thanks for sharing.
cool this could help someone one day, nice post. You actually contributed something to this forum, which is a lot more than most of these "post your homescreen" or "when we get updatez fro tmobilez" threads are!
thanks

How do I go about renaming the thread do I just ask a mod? You are right it how to get into safe mode would be a better title. Has anyone tried this on our phone yet because when I tried I do t know if it is because we have a different menu or b3cause I am on stock but the first method did not work but the one for older versions did. So maybe aosp is different than some of the others. And yea I dont want to annoy people and be part of the problem. Im sure I have posted some bullcrap too but I learned when I got negative or no responces. I see your point I come here to learn between here and the otber site I mentioned is how I learn all my computer skills. I have never taken a class and I have built my own computers. I am still a long way away from doing anything on android thou. So yea I just wanted to help is all.
Peace

So my first N7 had dead pixels and when I returned it I had to open 3 others in store to find one that was perfect. Or seemingly perfect. Twice now I've woken up to find my N7 off. The first time it happened I thought maybe I turned it off but last night I know I left it on. I did some searching and found that I am not the only one with this issue, but I haven't found any recent threads about it or any known fixes. Now I'm still on 4.3 and really don't want to update to 4.4 but if this bug was addressed I'll update it. Anyone here have this issue, found a fix, or updated and had the issue disappear? I really don't want to exchange it yet again but I will if it's the only way to get one that doesn't do it. Any insight would be appreciated.

Why don't you want to update to 4.4.2? It might solve the problem.
Anyway, the only device I had that had random reboots was my Nokia Lumia 520 which I straight away replaced.
I would advise you to do it aswell incase 4.4.2 doesn't fixe it.

I don't like the way 4.4 looks. I am a big fan of the blue/holo theme of 4.3. I have 4.4 on my N5 and that's enough for me. 4.4 really doesn't bring much to the table (for me anyway) that would compel me to update.
My N7 isn't rebooting, it's turning off. Never had a device that did that before. I'll probably update just to see if it stops it, and plus I have some bad stuttering when watching embedded videos in chrome and from what I've read, 4.4 solves that too. I really don't want to have to exchange it again, and I'm sure the manager at Best Buy doesn't want me to either lol.

Obvious question here but have you tried a factory reset?

I'm going to tomorrow if it does it again tonight. But the tablet is only a few days old and I already did a factory reset before I set it up initially.
Ok it just did it again right in front of my face. It didn't just go black in the middle of use, I picked it up to use it and before I could do anything it powered down, but did so as if I had deliberately done it. Meaning, the Power Off pop up was on the screen and it said "shutting off" the same way it does when you turn it off manually. That would lead me to believe it would be a software bug as opposed to a hardware one... am I correct in that assumption? Or can some hardware defect actually trigger the normal power down sequence?
hello everyone , so i use to have this bug back to kitkat also but it wasn't happening as often as it doesnt now that i have lollipop rom installed on my galaxy tab s T705 , the issue is with touch key lights which stays on even when i have them always off from settings , they act super weird when they are in that mode , they go off few sec after screen is off and if i shake the device they go on again as it looks like they are connected to accelerator sensor or something lolz ,the solution is super easy tho just hit the power saving on and then off again and they work normally again i heard some other ppl dealing with same issue but i wanted to know if there is a perma solution for it or not , im sure its a software issue but is there a way to fix it ?
Install a custom rom like cyanogen or something stock based.
I have the same problem. I usually have it set to turn the lights off after 6 seconds, but after a couple of days they don't work anymore. I would change the setting to off, then on, then back to 6 seconds, and it'll work again. After a few more days, they stop. I haven't seen a permanent fix for this.

Same for me. Would usually opt to have the buttons backlight always off, but randomly it starts actin like always on, although the settings remains 'always off'. Toggling the setting to anything else and back to always off fixes the problem temporeraly.
Im running stock swiss lollipop on my t700.
Yes, this is driving me nuts too! I hope they resolve this in the next update and soon!

Same problem with the lights on after a while even though set to always off. Seems to work properly under 1.5 sec setting option. I would love for the lights to be always off though.

Me too have the touch key settings to always off and found the same problem.
In my case I think it only happens when I plug the Tablet to AC.
Did this happen to anyone under another circumstances?
Thanks in adavance!

I have the same problem as everyone else, which I am very "happy" to hear because I am not the only one apparently dealing with it. I purchased the tablet a couple weeks ago and noticed that even though the setting for the touch key backlight is "always off", it goes on when I open the case, and sometimes goes on and off and goes weird. I contacted Samsung and they requested that I send in the tablet for repairs, so I did. At the same time, I contacted Amazon and they sent me another Tab S tablet. I have a month to return the other one so I figured I'll try this second one and see if I continue to have the same issues like the first one. Sure enough, I had the second tablet for less than a day and it's doing the exact same thing! So far the 1.5 second setting seems to keep the darn lights off. Sometimes doing a soft reset will fix the issue temporarily, but not permanently. If anyone figures out how to fix this, let us know! I'll be following this thread. I hope there's a software update to fix this.

I believe this is a software bug so all tab s running the 5.0.2 lollipop will have this issue.
And to reply to the other poster: The problem will occur after a while, the lights will just turn on and stay on when you wake the tablet. Changing the setting and choose Always Off will fix it but it will come back after a while.

Is there a way to get it back to the stock ROM? I'd rather avoid this light issue until an update to correct this comes out. Thoughts?

I heard that there's a new update available for the Tab S. (I already returned my tablet before my 30 days to get a full refund.) Did any one get the new update, and if so, did it fix the issues like this touch key light?
Hey,
I had this problem on the original KK software - upgraded to Lollipop a few days back and I still have the bug... in fact, it is even worse! Occurs more frequently than on LP.
I wouldn't mind leaving the lights on all the time, but they're so damn BRIGHT, and there's no way to adjust the backlight intensity!
Cheers,
Su
I found this solution on another forum...
If you enable smart stay, the touch key light duration will work properly.
Any further movement on this?. I've found that if I take my tab out of the book case the problem goes away. Seems like it's a bug with the case sensor.
No movement that I'm aware of. I'm really frustrated that there hasn't been a fix after all this time. I'm holding out hope that if there is ever an update to Marshmallow, that the issue will go away. Interesting observation about the case -I have a book case on mine. I'll remove it and see what happens...
I am not entirely sure if I'm tripping, but I seem to be missing phone calls pretty damn often. I think I recall at one point I randomly grabbed my phone to have it by me and noticed that someone was calling me but it wasn't ringing at all, though the screen did light up. I made sure my settings do have have "Do Not Disturb" mode on. I have the CPH2451 and running stock with latest OTA A.10 update. After doing a brief Google search, I see that OnePlus has had issues in the past but those are from the OnePlus3 and OnePlusNord so I am not sure if that's still relevant in this day and age.
Anyone experiencing something similar or have any clues as to what might be going on?
Edited: Fat fingered the model #. Fixed.

This might be obvious to you, so just ignore if you know this.
When holding your phone in your hand like you're texting in portrait mode, there's a switch top right and on side of phone.
Adjust the switch so it's down.
Ive experienced this, even after swapping to 2449.
Seems theres a couple settings that revert on reboots for some odd reason.
Just go into the phone app settings, notifications and reset thr ring tone and all set after 2 times doing it ... annoying?? damn right!... but at least its fixable ....

That's so dumb... The more I use this phone, the more I get buyer's remorse.
I haven't restarted my phone since I got it I think but I'll try that and see if the issue persists. Thanks!
Edit: Any word if OnePlus is aware of this and plans on fixing it? If not, perhaps I should forward this to them.

don't know if they are aware. just to add to the weirdness of it... for me... after the second time, the setting sticks...
i have this problem with my 8 pro, the phone doesn't ring and i think it goes straight to VM? seems like something broke with one of the latest OP updates?
There's no such version as CPH2541.
And here it works perfectly. Factory reset and try again.
