I am facing this only when battery is bellow 15%. If this is the case then just charge it before it goes to 15%.
If that's not the case then you can try installl MAGLDR v1.3
Do you have this issue in Froyo or Gingerbread ROMs? or in both? What version of CWM are you using?

I have the same problem on MIUI since after approximately 1.3.18 (cutover from Froyo to Gingerbread). Also have this problem on CME DHD2 Compact.
It is also an issue if someone tries to call me.
Sometimes, if I try waking the phone from sleep (power button) and it hits the black screen, and I wait long enough, it will wake. But again, the only real fix I know is pulling the battery.
I am running MAGLDR 1.13
Also, another fix that works sometimes is plugging in the phone into a power source e.g. laptop USB port

It's something about light sensor, when you put your screen into a strong light it would be turn "unblack" again. I don't know how to fix it, is this a problem with this hardware because it's broken or my version of LEO doesn't support NAND full functionaly.
Begging for answer!
i know about my poor english

I have this problem too.. running latest Hyperdroid rom by pongster (magdlr version) and it's driving me crazy. Sometimes phone wakes up normally after a call like it shoud, sometimes is stuck with black screen for few minutes, hours even (although i can't wait that long so i pull out battery)..
Back on WinMo everything worked normally, so it's not an hardware issue with proximity/light/whatever sensors
Is there any fix out yet? I googled and searched this forum a lot and haven't found nothing much helpful, ony a couple of threads with bunch of people with same problem like me. An option for disableing those sensors would be just as good, i've tried few apps for keeping the screen awake and none of them actually worked..
Any help is appreciated.. thanks in advance.

Bump!
Anyone? :/

I have the same issue - running Gingerbread, MAGLDR 1.13
Very annoying cause everything else works super.
Temporary solution i use is to use headset / handsfree. Then there is no problem.
So experts on XDA, we are begging for a fix for this!

I have the same issue since first Android roms and never found a real solution for the problem.
Instead i found a bypass that works for me reasonably well (99% of the cases the screen turns on after a call).
I installed the following 2 applications that wakes up my screen after the call (install then enable each one):
1. Screebl - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.keyes.screebl.lite
2. Modified version of SpeakerShake - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=449922&d=1290758421
I suspect this issue is somehow related to hardware failure in light sensor. Installing these programs solve this problem for me.
Also take a look on the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835127

I have had the same thing happen to me but only around 2 or 3 times in a about 3 months of usage. Had it on both CM7 and MIUI Gingerbread ROMs regardless of battery percentage.
MAGLDR 1.13

Some users experience this using SetCPU
if you have a profile for screenoff and it's set to the lowest frequency, try to set the frequency to something above 500 MHz.
If you have smartass set as governor, then even setting the frequency to it's highest (without OC) during screenoff wouldn't change anything in battery performance, but the device will wake up faster.

Your setup works for me as well - until we`ll see a fix for it this will do

Incearca Sanity app, cauta pe Market, mie aceste doua nu mo ajutat

with me is so but only if I navigation (Navigon) and to have someone call me and then left the screen black and I can not make

try to change the kernel. that works for me

hey guys! i found the solution goin through the market!
download an app called "Sanity" theres a free version in the regular android market.
go to the settings > general > check "Reverse Proximity" (This will give you some warning about not using it if you DONT have a buggy proximity sensor). Check it anyways. Then go back to preferences then click "Proximity" scroll down and uncheck Turn off screen and leave leave the Turn on screen checked. this will force your phone to stay on during calls so that it never has to go through the proximity phase of calls this no more black screens. Hope this was helpful ^_^

Thanks!
I had this problem aswell. MIUI & Cyanogen mod were the ROMs I was using, and this problem started occuring after a few months use (my screen is also damaged from a fall, so maybe the sensors are a little damaged as well).
When I installed the WinMo 6.5 stock ROM again, everything was normal, except that my screen still turns black during calls BUT I can activate it again by pressing the power button.
Now I installed android again and the Screebl app (enabled it) and I have the same functionality! The only problem that remains is that my screen still turns black during calls, so I have to answer with the phone button and putt down phone with the power button. Still beats having to remove the battery though .
If someone has a fix for the black screen, it would be more than welcome!
But, thanks a million for the Screebl app tip! I can use my phone again .

I also try with WinMobile and the problem was still there ...
I think the sensor is broken ....
I will bring my phone to service ... and when i take it back I will tell you whether it is repaired

Solution
I had the same problem with Android roms on my HD2. I saw in an other thread a member (z-o-r-r-o-, thanks btw) wrote "just clean dust on the screen, where sensor is situated". This looked like a joke to me, but it's not. On a review of the phone I found the place of the proximity sensor. This is on the top of your screen next to the speaker, on the left if you look at the screen. I just took off the protection layer of the screen and cleand the sensor and the problem was solved. So I cut of a bit from the protection layer so that the sensors arn't touched by anything.
I think the problem is that this sensor is much more sensitive with android roms.
Hope this works for you to.

Atrix 4g kitkat ROM{by Zn7mkUKzN1r8aCIV} ROM problems and fix

Atrix 4g ROM Developer Zn7mkUKzN1r8aCIV's new ROM v2 gets you Android 4.4.4 KitKat and also fixes the battery percentage problem that is affecting most Atrix 4g users. check out his Development Thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/atrix-4g/development/rom-cm-11-android-4-4-4-atrix-bigpart-t2847281
However, after flashing his ROM, most of you will get a "Setup Wizard has stopped" problem. Here's the fix I found:
1)On the screen that says "Choose language:" choose your language
2)On the screen that says"Insert sim card", you will find that when you press "next" or "skip", the setup wizard will stop. At that point, swipe down the status bar.
3)Touch the date at the top left corner of the status bar
4)It will then ask you to sign in to your Google account and WiFi.
5)After you do all that, you will be taken back to the calender screen.
6)Triple click fast on the back button or home button.
7)You will be taken back to the language selection screen.
8)Choose language
9)Now you will find that when you press skip on the "Insert sim card screen, it won't force close anymore.
10)Sign in to WiFi again, and you will then successfully finish the setup and can start using your phone.
The second problem, is that your phone most likely will not detect the sim card. Here's how to fix:
1)Go to settings
2)Turn on then off the mobile network.(MUST!)
3)Power off your phone, do not take sim card out.
4)Power your phone back on.
5)Your phone should now detect the sim card.
[EDIT]:New problems and fixes:
This problem is very rare and will probably not happen to your problem at all, but just in case, here's how:
After flashing ANY new ROM, some of you will probably get a black screen instead of the boot animation. DO NOT WORRY, you're phone is NOT bricked, it's just that the boot animation will work randomly sometimes and sometimes not. Just power on your phone and wait until the navigation bar buttons at the bottom of the phone light up, then you will know that the phone has finished booting up, and then simply just press the power button to open the screen.
AGAIN, this will most likely never happen to your phone, so far, I think I was the only one experiencing this problem.
Another problem that came up: Google Now voice search in the Google now launcher doesn't work. This should fix the problem:
1)Download the Google Now lib from this link (thanks to XDA Developer Jesco): http://d-h.st/EH1
2)Go to file manager and move it into /system/libs.
3)Now the Google Now voice search should work.
Ask any questions that you have and I will be happy to help you ASAP.

idk, maybe if you learned how to search for youtube within Z's CM11 thread, you might have been able to find a link on page 35. But its ok, you're just like a lot of users who don't know how to use that simple feature known as a search bar.

I'm not one of those people you described, I searched on that thread but I didn't see because I was looking for Z's posts about YouTube problem. But thank you for information.
I downloaded that link, tried to install but I can't install it, It says "App not installed". How can I fix that?
I fixed the problem by renaming YouTube.apk in system/app folder and installing the new one. But there should be another, simple solution?
PS: Another question about that YouTube situation; the link that guy posted on CM11 thread is 5.2.27th version of YouTube, and I looked at "About" section of YouTube on my phone it says I installed 5.1.1.5 which is older. Why don't our phones update YouTube to latest version? Is this about the compatibility thing? Should we always follow the updates on somewhere else?

youtube
This might give some insight. My youtube has been working however ive never installed google play services even once, there may be a chance that gapps is causing the problem but i cant say for sure

hi kitkat user
could you confirm with this rom and last kernel that fonction bellow work fine (and without hang or problem when using it) :
- call (i think yes)
- sms
- gps
- video recording
- photos

Hi
My phone seems to be extremely sluggish when doing common tasks like opening or closing apps, opening app drawer, etc.
Also, any games I play on my phone seem to freeze for 0.5-3 seconds on touch input.
Is this a problem with my phone, or this ROM, or all CM ROMs on Atrix?

Send SMS

Have you tried a different CPU governor? Or have you even unlocked the performance menu? There are some tweaks that you could apply and maybe you're missing them.

[Solved]
Hey guys, first of all, thank you Z and P! my atrix is now revived and I can enjoy it once more! what a great job. So far, really stable (although the screen don't light up until de end of some calls). Battery is doing great!
After some reasearch I found out I should be using the hporch32 recovery. Turns out I also needed to flash the hporch32 boot with "fastboot flash boot boot_olympus_kitkat_bigpart_hporch32_finalv2". I know it was silly, but the guides don't really cover this situation....
Anyways, thank you very much for this gift! Hope this helps other noobs!

Close all open notifications
I have tried all the settings in the Statusbar area, and I am not able to find the setting that turns on the "Close All Notifications" functionality that comes stock. It usually is a little "X" that lets you close all the notifications without having to swipe all of them individually.

How do I get the S5 lockscreen widget back after I removed it?

Wiped and installed this ROM and have been loving it. Just had a problem come up lately though and am not sure what to do. Everything is running fine, but it seems that I can't access 4G at all. When I first installed, for a couple days I was connected to 4G constantly. Now, it connects to 3G only even though I know there is a 4G signal available. Anyone experienced this? Please let me know any steps I can do to properly diagnose what is happening and what I should do to remedy the situation.

I had a similar issue on my previous phone, and it turned out my SIM card went bad. Try re-seating the SIM card or see if you can swap cards with someone else to see if that makes any difference.

Phone suddenly reboots and boot loops
Hey,
I am using the AllianceRom with safestrap, AllianceRom installed on stock rom slot. Recently, my phone would suddenly reboot while I am using it, making a call etc, then get stuck in a boot loop until I pulled out the battery, then sometimes it would start up well or get back in a loop.
Any help? Is there a Verizon app doing this?

Still have no 4G using this ROM. Tried reseating the SIM card and it just goes back to 3G. Just odd to me that it would work, then one day randomly turn off 4G and still use 3G. Even if I change the mobile data network to LTE it still says 3G.

Am I able to dirty flash version 2 over version 1?

installing iOS7 (iOS 7_0.apk) theme on stock rom

I noticed the iOS7 theme/launcher is available in a AllianceRom. I have been having random boot loops issues with my phone and still trouble shooting before I can go back to AllianceRom.
Thread here

In the meantime, I am back on stock (eww i know), anyways, I wish to be using the theme as I do my tests, but whenever I try to install it, I get "App not installed" error.
Any help?

Phone Crashing
Samsung SM-G900V NE9
At least once a day but usually several times a day my phone will not wake up when pressing the power button or home key. It freezes and the only way to get the phone back on is to hold down the power button and volume down button to reset phone or remove/replace the battery. Can anyone help?

I have the same problem. Recommend you flash stock rom. And monitor it.
Sent from my SM-G900V using XDA Free mobile app

Got redirected here.
Finally flashed this after being on an outdated ROM that never got attention.
Noticed couple things, first phone seems to get rather warm while using it (never did before)
Second got the below picture on one page, not sure what that means.

Any word on build 3?

Anyone know which setting changes the color for text message content (not the sender, the part of the message itself you are able to read) on the dropdown panel? Its all gray and very hard to read although everything I can find is set to black or white... I can't for the life of me figure out what setting this is but I'd love to be able to read text messages without opening them from my dropdown menu. Any help would be appreciated. Using Textra and Nova Launcher with Color Splash theme in Alliance if that matters any.

I am on this ROM, but still on Baseband Version: G900VVRU1ANCG and Android Version: 4.4.2. Should I update to 4.4.4? Should I go to Baseband Version NE9 or NI2? I want to stay on this ROM for now. How would I go about doing this? Thanks.

This rom only supports NE9 as of now, follow instructions of the OP in the main AllianceRom thread to update.

Wait, What?
Ok, I cant be the only one who read this and is ****ting his pants and crying with tears of joy right? I mean, this is freaking awesome! Only question is when, how, and why isn't this public news anywhere else where others can help. Like open source that **** ASAP!

Theme
How do I get the standard black glass theme for this rom?

Add Toggles
I am trying to add the extra toggles, but I don't have the "Scripts" menu at the bottom of custom settings... (it is not there) do I need to install xposed first? or am I missing something else? I did install build 2... never had an earlier version installed if that makes a difference.

Great ROM!
Beautiful ROM man, I'll be following the development. I'll test out a couple of fixes I found from beta testing my ancient Optimus S.
I posted directly to the blog, but I like following on the forums better
Quickest install I've ever seen.
No problems on NOOP. No lag that I notice.
One question, for the masses or developer. Any thoughts on how to root this sucker? I did the "sustain root" on CWM, I switched the root access on the settings to ADB and app.
Can't figure out how to get root though. Thrown various APKs at it, everyone gets a blocked install (third party apps is enabled too).

Easy root? and minimal Gapps working
Greetings all,
I tested this app package, it's much smaller than the primary app package. Store is working, no errors thrown up. Yet, I've been running for about 30 minutes now, and installed root checker, again, no errors. 5.0 is tested.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/gapps-google-apps-minimal-edition-t2943330
Just don't like all the goole news, games, and music crap that comes with a full GAPPS package.
Comes from working on the LG Optimus project.
Also, am I going crazy, or did I just switch a toggle and get root access?
Seriously? No ADB, no chinese programming? Just handed me root access like it was nothing?
Friggin awesome.

Camera Fix
I got the camera to work better.
I had to use
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera&hl=en
In case this blog block the link, it’s Open Camera by Mark in the play store.
I have working video and pic on the rear camera, and the “selfie” front camera works for picture only. In video mode, It duplicates/tiles video. That’s the only thing.
Other than that, very few problems. Pretty zippy in terms of speed. Course I came from the LG Optimus S, so anything is zippy to me. Noop works good.
Annoying though that it seems to only save nandroid backups to some mysterious "secure" folder. I've looked for it, can't find it. Maybe it's just ROM Manager being a jerk though.

Why haven't you updated the ROM since April 24?

You are alive? Yay!

Very excited for the next build to go up, can't wait! Welcome back!

Me too. It's going up later this morning.

Sweet, looking forward to notifications on my lockscreen. Going to have to swap out the font for the clock though, Roboto looks weird when thin.
Thanks for taking the time to build this for us.

I didn't build this. But be warned, Telephony, bluetooth, camera, and flashlight doesn't work.

Mostly nitpicking, but after about an hour of testing, here's what I found, on 12-20150424:
Telephony requires a two+ rings prior to the other phone ringing at all. May be a carrier issue.
The Location quick setting tile for the notification drawer disappears when accessing the tiles from the lockscreen, at least with a pattern lock. Unaffected are WiFi, mobile data, Bluetooth, tethering/hotspot, airplane mode, rotation control, flashlight, AudioFX, ADB over network, Compass, battery mode, color inversion, LTE
, LiveDisplay, NFC, screen timeout and profiles. (logcat for disappearing tile: pastebin.com backslash 4Ny6rR58)
Compass in said notification drawer does not function correctly, tilting devices does not equal change in heading. i437 hardware issue?
SMS is vulnerable to Stagefright, as expected of pre-August 2015 builds.
Settings > Storage: Overflow menu option 'USB computer connection' activity never starts if phone is not plugged into computer. IMO, should offer options even if not connected.
Cannot remove guest user under Settings > User without first being ON guest account.
Camera findings:
Rear camera 4.9 mp pictures do not preview correctly in camera app, appear as pure gray. Opening files with third-party app resulted in expected photo.
720p rear camera never saves video; must lower resolution to function. In addition, appears R and B channels get swapped in preview.
Beyond those, no complaints so far, and been using this for about two months now. Any bootloops are the result of an improper Xposed installation
(please don't stop making this, it's much fun to poke and prod D:)

WiFi radio not working
Hey guys, so I have a Samsung Galaxy Alpha that I rooted and flashed CM12.1 along with Gapps on to it and it worked fine. Then I flashed my aunt's Samsung Galaxy Light SGH-T399 with CM12.0 too (with Gapps) and again everything worked fine including WiFi except that she had no service from her provider but still could receive calls but neither call nor Message. So I flashed a new radio (SGH-T399N) which I found somewhere in the discussion page and everything worked! She now got service, meaning she could make calls and message too.
Now I flashed my uncle's Samsung Galaxy AT&T SGH-i437 along with Gapps and again, everything worked including Camera (Google Camera not stock). Except the WiFi. When the CyanogenMod set up screen loaded and asked for my preferred language I chose English as always but when the WiFi screen popped up, it simply said "WiFi turning on" but it didn't! For 10 minutes I sat there waiting for it to enable but no such luck. So I skipped ahead to the home screen and I noticed that Mobile Service worked 100% for the phone. So basically, is there a WiFi radio I must flash for the WiFi to turn on? Right now I just downgraded him to CM11 KK 4.4.4 with Nova Launcher and the WiFi is enabled. Thanks in advance!
tl;dr WiFi doesn't turn on SGH-i437, mobile service does. Any radio or something I need to flash?

Hey silents090,
I have a sgh-t399, any chance you could forward me the link for cm12 you got working on your relatives? cuz I flashed cm12 and had issues with mobile carrier, and regular sms texts....
thanks in advance

Sure,http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-cm12-light-beta-t3154688

it was a T-Mobile t-399
Out of curiosity, which version of the rom did you use? I used vanilla.
Secondly, does the rom work when you do not flash the radio?
Thirdly and lastly, you clear the cache, data, dalvik etc before flashing, right?

Screen is always on - Help? [SOLVED?]

Hello!
I am unable to turn my screen off. When the phone tries to sleep and the screen turns off then it immediately turns back on in a loop forever. The same happens when I turn it off by pressing power button. I have done stock revert via odin and factory reset and the issue persists. I also have tried few other roms and wiped everything. what can I do? Please help me, thank you!
Phone model: Samsung galaxy J5 (00fn) 2015
Currently on stock 5.1
In the logcat screen goes off around 10:12:22.492 and then back on at 10:12:23.012

For others having the same issue; I found a 'better than nothing' solution. Google play - "screen filter" app. First set the icon in a place u remember at your home screen and then set 'screen filter' percentage to lowest and run the app. Voila! If you use a custom rom that supports it or have rooted your phone then you can assign a hardware button to launch that app on/off and if not then use "button mapper" from play store.

OK. I think I have solved this for good(?) On my phone. I have managed to get my screen working NORMAL without using screen filter about five times in a row now after installing new ROMs. If this method works for others I would be glad to hear. This might sound a bit odd but the method goes like this: first thing after installing a ROM I download the screen filter app. Then I press it on and off once. Then I assign the app to long press recents button and I disable all functions from home button except for 'double tap = home'. Then I long pressed the recents button couple times and after that let the screen dim and go off by itself and now my screen works!! I can remove the screen filter app and change the hardware buttons back and it works even after reboot! Unbelievable! Please share your thoughts if this worked for you also. BTW I'm now using resurrection remix official by SoUnd001 so at least for this ROM this trick works. (Customizable hardware buttons make this easy)

Hello!
I've checked your logcat, but I don't know what's the issue due the lack of knowledge. There seems that these two lines appear right after lines related to the display:
Code:
E qdutils : int qdutils::getHDMINode(): Failed to open fb node
E qdutils : int qdutils::getHDMINode(): Failed to find HDMI node
There is also some errors regarding lights.
My questions are:
1) Did you modify that stock ROM in any way or you've been running stock ROM + stock kernel as it is? If you did modify it, what modifications did you make? If you used stock as it is, then the software shouldn't be the culprit for your issue.
2) You've been using screen filter apps before for long time? If yes, maybe this could be the problem. When I've checked the comments at a screen filter app in past, i did read that it harmed the phone of some people. However, might be fake comments as well. You can also search on Google something like: "android does screen filter harm?".

@#Henkate I also noticed those errors but couldn't find out the cause. Thanks for trying to solve!
Q1. Yes it was pure unmodified stock ROM flashed via odin. The issue was still there so I figured it must be hardware related BUT after flashing TWRP I noticed that the screen worked fine in the recovery ie dimmed and went off normal.
Q2. I hadn't heard of the 'screen filter' app before this issue. I think this app actually fixes my issue although the problem returns after installing new ROMs.
Thanks for support! :good:

This is kinda weird. Well, as long as that workaround works...
I also thank you for changing the thread name to "solved" and posting the solution/workaround! There aren't many users like you which does these two things, at least at J5 forum.
Have a nice day!
