Hi,
I've been having this extremely annoying problem over the past week.
Every few hours my SGS2 screen would turn on by itself and the signal indicator would change from the usual bars to the circle with a diagonal line across, indicating no service. The phone would then go back to sleep. The signal quality in my area is superb and I do not have any connectivity problems, and HSPA+ speeds are decent. Other than it being annoying for the screen to be turning on by itself every few hours, it is also screwing with my Llama location profiles as it thinks that I have left or entered my area and carrying out the associated actions.
I've tried stock KG2, and stock KG3 both with wipes but no dice.
I'm currently on stock KG3, unrooted.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
I'm having similar issues, are you using juice defender?

nope, not using JD. i'm on KG5 modem now but it still happens but less frequently.
Finally I found The Reason
Some installed apps works without permission ,,,, so the screen turns on every short time<<<,
For example the reson of turning on the display on my phone < that i have installed a livewallpaper ""morph.galaxytt.apk or Morphing Galaxy LiveWallpaper" so this livewallpaper ""even if i not using it "" will work on services causind the screen turns on
so you have to go to "setting/Applications/Running Srvices" and stop the apps thats working without permission
Note that i have been forced to uninstall morph.galaxytt.apk after that my phone screen stays off <<<<
Press Thank button if you benefit from this Reply &&& sorry for my bad english

First of all, I'm running cyanogenmod version 10.1.0-RC2-mako on my Nexus 4 and the only app that I have on it with root privileges is AFWall+. I'm very careful about what I install on it from the android market, I don't have many apps on it anyway. I do have a call recorder app that runs while I am on the phone with someone (Auto Call Recorder). Basically what happened was, I got off the phone with my boss, and set my phone down. Then about 5 minutes later I picked it up and turned it on only to find out that it wasn't on. I tried to turn it on and it wouldn't do anything. Battery was more than 90% full. I plugged it in to my charger and tried to turn it on, it still wouldn't do anything. After about a minute the "battery charging" icon on the LCD appeared saying the battery was nearly full and at that point I was able to unplug the phone and turn it on. I only had it plugged in for about 2 minutes tops. It came on as it normally does after I unplugged it and turned it on.
My first thought was that it was a problem caused by the call recorder app, but I haven't had any problems with this app before (I've only been using the app for two weeks though). But if it was the call recorder app causing the problem, the phone would still have turned back on after I tried to turn it on, right? Also, how is it that the phone came on after I plugged it in to charge it and then unplugged it?
Has anyone seen similar problems with this? Should I change out ROMs? Delete the call recorder app? I glad I was able to get it back on, but I didn't like how there wasn't a reset button on it like I had on my HD2, Sensation, and other phones.

The app may not be compatible with android 4.2.2. The reboot can be done by holding the powerbutton for more than 10 seconds. There is also a safe mode https://support.google.com/nexus/4/answer/2852139?hl=nl to be able to boot without 3rd party apps.

Thank you! ( I also clicked your "thanks" button). I can't say my question was completely answered, but it was definitely helpful. I didn't know there was a safe mode, very handy indeed! I don't believe any of my other phones have had a safe mode. I have seen other little problems with the app, like only recording my voice and not the other end, but no problems have shut off the phone before. I will check up on the app to see if it is compatible with 4.2.2 and also if it is on auto-update and if it updated itself recently. And I don't think I held the power button after the phone call, if I did it would have rebooted, unless somehow my protector case held the power button when the call ended and caused a glitch in the software since it couldn't store the recorded call.

thanks again! But the problem I was talking about was with the internal mic on the Nexus 4. Sometimes it doesn't pick up the other end of the conversation but it records me fine. I don't use any external mics or bluetooths with it. The app seems pretty solid, both my voice and the other persons voice are pretty close in volume, which has been an issue with recorder apps that I have used in the past. Thanks though. Is there an application error log in the android or 3rd party software for an error log to help determine the cause of problems?

You can only make logs if you are rooted. There are several apps in Play available for that.

Dear all,
a few days ago I started again using Cyanogenmod, first latest stable (10.1.2) and today also latest nightly.
In Settings lockscreen is enabled with cLock-Widget, till now I tried normal unlock (move only), pattern, PIN and Password but in 90% of all cases, if I switch of my Nexus with Power, it is NOT locked. Pressing Power again, after a few seconds, minutes or just hours still show homescreen oder latest app which was open. Same if I do not use Power but waiting for automatic Lockscreen.
Do anyone has the same problem or just know how to fix that?

What are your settings for under Security for:
"Automatically Lock after ## after sleep" and do you have "Power button instantly locks" checked?

I've noticed this as well. Since around the time of the 10.1.2 release.
Basically, I've changed the default settings so there's a lock screen and it works at first, but then, seemingly randomly will stop working, ie no lock screen whatsoever. I can leave the phone for hours, and there's no security.
Seems like a pretty serious flaw to me. I've actually upgraded my CM installation, as well as done a complete reinstall, doing a factory reset, and updating to the latest nightly, ie last nights, and this issue is still there.
Basically means I can't rely on CM for keeping my phone secure. I've changed the settings back and forth, tried different security settings, reset things, reinstalled, etc. Tried everything I can think of.
Yes, all the proper settings are there, basically CM's default settings once you turn the lock screen on should work, power button instantly locks, timeout etc.
About ready to go back to an earlier version or different rom completely.
Anyone have any thoughts?

I just loaded my first rom on my Note 2 today. Getting the same thing. The quick fix is to close all the open apps, then it kicks you right back into the lock screen. I double click, then button in the top right and closes them all auto for me. I think it might be FB Messenger causing the issues but I can't say for sure. LMK if you that helps in the short term?
Am not running FB Messanger, so that's not causing it for me.
I'm using a pattern on my lock screen, not sure if this issue exists with all types of lock screens.
Hi all,
I've just installed CM 10.1.2 on my SGS2 (GT-I9100) yesterday and I had the exact same problem.
I've just figured out where the problem is:
I use Handcent SMS app, and when I receive a text, a quick reply window pop up. If I type my reply in it and hit send, it deactivate my lock screen.
Hope my answer helps!
I have the same issue. Disabled the popup function in Handcent settings and lockscreen i working.

There is an app that is bypassing the lock screen.
For me it was a proximity screen of app...
Bug fix ??
When updated to 4.4 on verizon I noticed that the screen doesnt lock or go back to the slide setting I set it to after a missed call. This is a headache because screen stays on, it makes me accidentally open apps and make calls, and runs battery fast because screen stays on. For those who have updated already does 4.4.2 fix this? Also is the lowest brightness still super high? Or did it get fixed back to how it was on 4.2.2? Thanks in advance.
...
You post your question, and then minutes later post ..... as if we don't care about you. Pipe-down, please.
To answer your question, I haven't had the issue you're saying. The screen locks back automatically on mine, and furthermore, the Active Notifications shows I've missed a call. Check your dialer settings, reboot your phone, and worst case scenario, FR the phone.

you are right men !, I was just testing for 5 or 10 mins but was not able to do anything, aftrer a while I got a notification saying congratulations for not using your phone or something for 20 mins. So you yeah, your correct after 20 mins you can decide if you want to continue using zen mode or close it.

Yup....Does exactly what it's supposed to do. Forces you to put your phone down to concentrate on other things with no distractions. Not sure I would ever use it myself and it would just be another app on my phone taking up space. I just put my phone down or turn it off if I really need to do something...Simple concept really.

just curious question, will zen mode elliminate all apps and services that use the internet, if yes, i think the battery life might skyrocket.

From what I understand it disables everything but Camera and emergency calls.
you cant. You missing all the point of this app )))
I've tried Zen Mode this morning and found out it was unstable and bypass-able
- Notifications still come through to Ambient Display
- Can be bypassed if you use Oneplus Navigation Gesture. Just swipe it up and hold to access Recent App, and switch to another one. Alternatively, you can also access Recent Apps when the camera app is open. Launcher cannot be accessed though.
- You can even go as far as to Setting and force stop the Zen Mode app, but this does nothing; Zen mode is still on
- It loses count some times (timer freezes, although the countdown still going in background). Go to camera and go back may solve this
Well, that's why...
It's not stable on 6T yet.
If you have Google assistant enabled by holding down the power button, it will, at least in my experience, come up and you can tell it to open settings and disable it from there ??
