I'm sure almost everyone has now experienced the freeze that happens sometimes when the device comes out of deep sleep, usually for a couple seconds.
I (personally) think its the only thing from making this ROM pretty near perfect. I have been trying to get to the bottom of this freezing issue for a few days and I'm sure a lot of other people have been trying too!
I have disable a whole bunch of things, and since it seems it could be related to WiFi (as many are reporting) I started disabling and uninstalling apps in different stages. Iv ended up with the following (see screenshots) disabled/uninstalled and have been repeatedly locking and unlocking the device (letting it enter deep sleep first of course) and have yet to experience the bug again.
Maybe it doesn't work for you, but perhaps someone can pick up from here and we can all get to the bottom of the problem! It might be impossible at this stage and may simply require a newer leak/release of JB for the i9100.

Hopefully this helps, if not I apologize, but think the problem needs any insight available
I have not freezed, deleted all the extra functionalities and stuff, but the problem is still there, even worst on wifi. I gave u a thank for make a step up to try to solve the problem
I have removed almost every single samsung app from syatem. Using apex instead of TW. Always have wifi turned off. Because i use my data plan. As its unlimited. I have this problem all the time. Is there anything i can do to help? Logcat or anything.

I think its a touch panel driver problem but better to do a logcat if you have time for this. I also have experienced the problem when trying to end a call.

Yes, last night I was using logcat and when the screen came on and froze the logcat contained data such as waiting for input, loading mali driver for touch recognition. I laso thought it could be related to motion control, as if its waiting for acceleration from it so as to use the camera motion shortcut etc but alas disabling motion didnt help either
Will upload a logcat or two later after college today!
It also happened to me too when trying to end a call after the screen came back on after taking the phone away from my eat. Ive also noticed that when the screen comes on and touch is unresponsive. The menu and back keys at the bottom are not lit. And after 4/5 seconds they light up and then it is working. Will post a logcat when i next experience it.

Tried many lock screen apps including the stock one, random freezing with all of them with wifi on. Have been using Holo Locker for a couple of days, seems to fix the problem.

I get around it like another user suggested,
I have a tasker that turns my wifi off when the screen goes off.
I also have phenomenal battery life this way. It is definitely a wifi issue.

Hey all, I haven't found this posted anywhere, but does anyone else experience this bug? It's been here for every iteration of CM7 I've tried (and I've virtually flashed every nightly and went through several wipes over the course of the last few months, big props to the team)
The Recent Apps window occasionally is too small, but sometimes it works! I've turned off compatibility mode. It seems to happen often with landscape mode.

Again, it doesn't happen every time, just sometimes.
There's a thread somewhere regarding LCD density....Search it. If I was at my puter I could post the link but im on my phone.

So here's the deal with that.
It's a thing CM7'ers are stuck with.
If you change to 160 dpi, it will fix it. Assuming you're running the latest market and maps, 160 should be okay.
A solution most of us have done is install Recent Apps Plus and starting from step 1, replaced the default recent apps. I like it more with the volume control and all
To change to 160 if you want, go to system/build.prop w/root explorer or the like and change the line that is about halfway down from 161 to 160, and that will fix it.
You could also try turning off compatibility mode in settings >applications >development, but I've had limited success with that and the recent apps popup.

I'm currently using ' More Recent' to get around this problem. Its simple and so far has worked without any problems: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.britoso.morerecent&feature=search_result
Hello, when it happens something that I do not understand with my N4.
Whenever I lock my N4 pressing the button the screen turns off after a few seconds but then (this is random) it turns back on itself, arises on the lockscreen (my home is a diagram) and shuts itself anew after 2 minutes (because it's my time to sleep after non-use).
It breaks my head.
Have you any idea?.
Any special app ?
I do not know, this is not for a particular app.
When I use my phone normally and I put it to sleep, it locks, but the screen turns off after a few seconds the screen turns on for no reason.
And this happens several times per hour alone.
Sorry for my bad english, i am french.
I have the exact same thing! It's annoying! I presume it's a program I installed, but I don't know which. And I'm too lazy to uninstall them one by one... Any program I can use to see what's waking the screen? I'm not rooted btw...
Yes I think that is the cause of a program but I do not know which.
Is there an application to list the process?
Have you installed 'flipturn' or whatever it's called app ?
I don't have an app called flipturn. I don't have any app that starts with the word flip...
Me too i dont have an app called flipturn..
If you don't have any "special" app, I would do a factory reset
It's not bothering me so much that I want to lose all my save data by doing a factory reset....
I had this issue and figured out how to fix it. Problem is, I don't remember how I fixed it. I think it was due to an app waking my phone. Check your apps to see if any of them have the permission to wake your device.

So I made the restoration, i havent had the problem for more than 24 hours (I know because I watched all the time to see if it was ok or not after each lock, I watched as the one for minute)
But since today is the problem recurred.
So what I'll do, I'll redo a restore with the factory image but not new to reinstall my applications because it has to be somewhat of a blind application of the play.
Because I do not think the problem is hardware or it will be declared soon after the restoration, or it is returned after a ten hour (just after installing all my applications because I do not make on).
Its an apk, I had that problem with this apk..

It collects data on and off screen.

I wish I had that app so I could just remove it. Unfortunately I've never installed that app so must be another app.

Some other apk tho is collecting data.. I would hunt and kill it.

what permissions should I look for to find an application that collects data when the screen is off?

Me too, i dont use this App.. But I try any application can have the same permissions ..
Small background on the issue here, i tried the stock android camera but the video recording was stuck in low resolution and didn't work correctly so i removed it (and the built in gallery), i went back to using the Samsung camera (which i'm not happy with anyway) but when i use the gallery, the thing is laggy as hell, zooming and browsing pictures is jumpy at best, and if i stay in the app, it pretty much freezes the phone up.
So i had a look in the task manager and any time the Gallery is running in the background it constantly uses around 16% of the CPU and the RAM usage goes up and up, at a rate of 50mb+ per minute, keeping the phone hot and draining the battery. The phone will eventually need resetting if left in this state.
Since i wasn't in the mood for troubleshooting, i guessed that the android camera/gallery had messed something up with the samsung one and i just did a full wipe/factory reset, the problem still persists. Do i need to flash the firmware again to fix this? It seems like something is corrupted but i'm not sure why the factory reset hasn't fixed it.
Here's a few screenshots i took over a 4 minute period.
The firmware is I9505XXUEMJ7 4.3

I think u need update ur firmware. Conect it to Kies 3 and make us a screenshot pls

I had just done this before your reply and it did need an update, it's now on the latest:

The problem still remained however i think i've managed to fix it in the last few minutes, I did the following:
Tried Camera JB+ from the Play Store
Disabled the Samsung Gallery app
Didn't like the JB+ camera so removed it
Enabled Samsung Gallery again and now it's not causing problems
I'm not sure if it was the disabling/enabling of the gallery which has fixed it or if it was the install/removal of another camera/gallery, but for now it seems to be fixed, i have been trying everything over the last few days, factory reset, clearing caches and even updating to the newer firmware. Glad it seems to be working (for now at least) but annoying that i don't know why it was happening. Also worried it will happen in the future which could drain the battery in a very short time if i don't notice it quickly.
- Only u have to go Apps - Settings - More - Aplication manager- (last tab) All
- Tap "Gallery" app
- Clean cache
Took a couple of pictures at work this morning and it's doing it again! Not sure what else i can try.
edit: i've just switched g+ picture backup on and it's told me it's updating 139 pictures (there are only about 20 pics on the phone). After checking my account online, i can see it's uploading a bunch of photos that were deleted a long time ago on the phone.
Hi all, got my Note 3 Thursday and I love it, came from a Z1 and what I love the most is the battery life. I'm a pretty heavy user and so far I'm getting at least 6hrs screen on which is awesome for me!
Anyway I noticed today that even though my GPS hasn't been on its showing on in battery stats

but when I did turn the GPS on it shows its off, it's like it's inverted strangely....rebooted phone still same.
I will back up and factory reset it tomorrow, but wanted to check if anyone else had this before, I did search but nothing came up. BTW I'm stock unrooted.

A colleague of mine is having same problem but with wifi, it's inverted....I will point out though it doesn't seem to have an effect on battery life. Must be a visual bug.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
Edit: mine wasn't inverting like yours, just showing the gps on when it was off.
I isolated this down to google maps, I didn't notice a drop in battery, but It bugged me none the less. Once location was blocked in Xprivacy it stopped reporting GPS-on in the battery stats. This might fix it: Try temporarily disabling google maps from app info and see if it stops, then re-enable.

OP screen looks strange and looks nothing like mine: I have GPS on all the time and actually used maps for driving from work today and GPS shows active only when screen was on. With screen off on mine GPS shows off as well, where OP shows GPS active all the time. I wonder if OP has some program requesting GPS position at all times, even with screen off. Maybe some anti theft tracking or showing OP position to friends and family? Maybe same program over rides off setting? I never heard of settings being inverted, but maybe there is some system error.
Thanks for your feedback, after trying a few things: disabling Gmaps, rebooting device, turning off location services still no joy. So before doing a factory reset I reset the app preferences, which you can do but going to settings>app manager>all>press menu and then select ' reset app preferences' and it worked.
So it must if been some app causing this, I don't have a tracking app apart from the Android device manager, which is on, a bit stumped what it was but now glad it's gone as my OCD was going through the roof!! ?

I had the same problem,all my GPS settings were set to off but somehow the Battery stats were showing that the GPS was all time on! I tried many things until I found the real culprit, and in my case was not the OS software but an App that is keeping the GPS on despite closing it! The App (2GIS) is of course related to GPS as it includes navigation among its features.The solution was to close the app and reboot my device instead of deleting that app as I really want it! So I will advise anyone with this problem to find every app on their phone which uses GPS and monitor them, hopefully you will track down the culprit!
Hello everyone, this is my first post on xda forums. I hope someone out there might be able to help me out.
I accidentally found out that on my galaxy s4 I9500 lock screen, I can still press and hold power button and it gives me options to power off/restart my phone. I have pattern lock enabled. I tried and successfully powered off the phone straight from my lock screen, not to mention that it scared me out. What if it gets stolen? Anybody can turn if off and I wont be able to track it down or enable any thing via SMS commands etc.
What's the purpose of lock screen if the phone can be turned off, if not unlocked, and I couldn't do anything about it.
I recently updated android 4.4 and I am not sure whether or not this issue persisted before that. I am attaching a screenshot of it. Looking forward for someone to sort this out for me. Thanks.

Did you just find out after reading this post or were you aware of it before?
And have you not thought that even if it is as you describe what is the benefit
not so great
If someone steals your phone much easier to remove the battery and that is even faster than pressing buttons
this is just my personal opinion

Yes, you're absolutely right, but then again it raises a big question mark on all the tracking and anti-theft apps as well as Google's own android device manager feature a bunch of crappy apps which do no good at all except for playing sirens via laptop on your own phone and thinking it actually works.
Plus if the thief is within the room, he wont go through all the trouble of removing the protective case, back cover and then removing battery itself. He'd simply turn it off and wait.
It has been like this since I can remember, way before 4.4. In GS3 and GS4, probably in SGII too, this I don't remember.

this topic can be seen from different angles
best - keep your phone
and good friends for company
this is a joke
no one knows what can happen
My Galaxy Note many times I turn it off that way
I don't remember ever had to unlock before that S4
I don't remember
