[Q] Why Does the Call Log Screen Pop Up At Random? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

I'm not sure if I have some setting on that I am not aware of, but my call log screen will randomly pop up when I am viewing a page, app, or anything else on the phone. Is anyone else seeing this or know the cause? Thanks.

I haven't seen this yet. Doesn't mean that I won't at some point, but right now my call log hasn't popped up without me wanting it to.

My Samsung G Nexus did this all the time. I have not had this issue on my S5 though. Not sure if running a call filter/rejection app could cause this, I had one on my Nexus and then I noticed the log screen come up all the time when I had the app installed. I figured it was the app causing it.

Interesting...I have the built-in call blocking setting activated. I'll disable it and see if that makes a difference.

I tried this, but it did not resolve the problem. Thanks for the suggestion, tho.

I read in another thread that it could be GG or G2N pinging your phone for new stuff.

I am experiencing this issue also and I have read it is with my Neo 2 and my S5. Has anyone got a fix it is really annoying?

wiping SetCPU

Does anyone know how to completely remove setspu files? I have tried to wipe it, unstall it and for some reason whatever it does to modify the hardware is still there. I am having issues with incoming calls with this app. The diealer doesnt show up when i get an incoming call.
Thanks

uninstall setcpu, its been a long time since its been updated. last time it was updated was in april of 2013! it doesnt work right with lollipop nor with the nexus 6. there are many cpu control apps that work with lollipop and the nexus 6, setcpu is not one of them.

not a screen protector issue. had it on for about 2 weeks without issues. installed setcpu last night and not im having issues. doing a factory reset resolves the issue but then im too lazy to download all my apps and set it all up. so, im looking for the files that setcpu modifies or adds so i can delete/edit them.
Figured it out. I simply had to reset app preferences. somehow installing setcpu caused them to get all messed up

I like SetCPU because I can make profiles. For example, my kernel is set 300-1247 with screen is of, another setting is when the phone is in call, and full speed when screen is turned on.

[APP] S2W Phone Call Disabler

S2W Phone Call Disabler
If you have sweep2wake enabled, you may notice the touchscreen is active while the screen is blanked during phone calls. This app will disable sweep2wake and doubletap2wake during phone calls and re-enable them with your previous settings after the call is finished. I couldn't find a way to do it reliably in the kernel, so I made this companion app. It will work with any Nexus 6 kernel that has sweep2wake.
It requires no configuration, just install it, and run it once. After that, it will automatically work, even after rebooting.
There is one option in the app. Since this app only needs to be opened once, you can click a check box that will remove this app from your app drawer. If you change your mind and want it back in the app drawer, you will have to uninstall and reinstall the app.
This app shouldn't use many resources. It runs an intent service when the phone state changes. That means the app wakes up, does its thing, and then stops itself. In other words, it is not always running in the background.
This app requires root!

Many thanks to those who have donated!
Thanks wanted to run your kernel but kept having issues in call.
My so glad to be able to run your kernel been with Vzw m8 for last year... an this app has worked great for me all day. An also I just wanted to throw out I'm on .24 an having zero call issues
3rd!
Works great thanks man
This issue bugs the crap out of me. I'm testing now. Thanks flar.
Nexus 6
I assume it's working good for everyone?
Working good for me I think I've had maybe 1 or 2 instances where the wake gestures didn't turn back on after a phone call, but it was probably just a fluke.

Keep an eye on that and try to remember the exact sequence of events where it's not coming back. I don't talk on the phone much so it doesn't get much real world testing.

You have no idea. This app is pure genius.
Nexus 6
Not sure why but my copy doesn't have the option yo hide from the app drawer.
Great idea for this app, I'm surprised that there isn't greater call for it, or maybe I'm alone in having major screen issues when in a call with 2t2w enabled.
My issue is that it never turns double tap back on after a call. I'm using LK with it set up through lkconfig. Anyone know a solution to this? Thanks

In fact I've experienced the same once or twice with ElementalX Kernel. I'm going to observe if it is happening again on my next call.
Edit: Tried it twice, no problems, so false Alarm. Everything working as it should be!
Thanks for the app, Flar2! I wrote a guide for this on my website (here), and also made a video tutorial:

Feel free to use either, and thanks again for the great work!

Suddenly seems to be happening for me a lot lately but I can't find a particular sequence of events that does it yet.

Yeah it's been happening a few times over the last couple days, but nothing major.

Great!
Works perfectly, and removed from the app drawer. Screen is completely unresponsive (as it should be) when on a call with the prox sensor covered.
Thanks for this!
Hey @flar2 ... I think I may have found a sequence that keeps disabling dt2w and s2w. It seems if I get a call and swipe to ignore the call within a second or two that it's disabling those two features, they only come back on after I re-enable them in your ElementalX app.

I've been getting this behavior lately where it would disable itself but it seems completely random to me.

Problem with screen or App

I been trying to figure out if the app is glitchy or the phone is having intermittent problems. I was able to screen capture what I saw. So If anyone can advise anything that be great before I consider making a repair request from Motorola.
Thank You.
Can't tell if we don't know what app you were using or what you were doing when it happened.
If the entire screen was unresponsive and fuzzy I'd say hardware but if it's just the background and not the call notification I'd guess software. Factory reset.
Well when I first got the phone, the bottom navigation bar would flicker while scrolling in chrome browser. Now I get weird distortion on the eBay app. It seems intermittent.
I am sure this is a software bug. I have seen it a few times on 5.0 I never seen this on 4.4.4
Anyhow if it were the screen you wouldn't have been able to capture it on a screen shot

Didn't think about this. He's right. If the screen was the problem the screenshot would look fine.
Good point. Perhaps it is the lollipop bug. That's good to know. Can't wait till 5.1 comes out then . Thank you guys for your replies.
I don't know... I had same problem with one app.. Just one app.. It's a wallpaper app.. Getting rid of the app solved me the problems.. :beer:

[Q] Edge lighting not working - or am I doing something wrong?

Brand new S6 edge, I've never gotten the edge light to activate when someone calls/emails/or sends a message. Question I have is does the phone need to be face down to work or is it supposed to work all the time? I haven't had it work in any of my tests. Any ideas what the problem might be?

Doesnt work face down either, have one person set, when the call nothing happens. To add to my question, do the notifications work with other messaging apps (like textra) other than the stock messaging app?
Sounds like you have a bad accelerometer like has been posted on other threads. Your phone doesn't know that it's on the screen therefore the edge lighting feature is not working. You may look into exchanging for a Phone that works.

Are you using the people edge? I had the same issue and I was able to get it working again. It is not an accelerometer issue. I disabled the people edge as soon as I got the phone since I figured I would never use it. After a day or 2 of using the phone I realized the edge lighting was not working at all even though it was enabled. What I did was re-enable the people edge, set a friend to a color and then I had that person text me to see if that was working, which it did, so at that point I was sure it wasn't a broken accelerometer as some users have stated. I then deleted that friend from people edge, (so that all colors were set to default) I once again turned off the people edge and then finally retested the edge lighting and voila! It worked. It must have been some kind of glitch that I reset by re-enabling the people edge and then turning it back off. It has been 2 days and I can confirm it is still working. I hope this might work for you too! Let me know!

Froze twice!!

Last night and today it completely froze had to press power and volume down to reboot removing swiftkey just to see if that is the cause anyone else with freezing issues.
No freezing issues here at all. Been using it for two days now. Maybe a restore will help?
my wife had to do this 4 times in 2 weeks, any idea what caused it, is it still happening to you, anyone else?

It only happens when I install Swiftkey keyboard for some odd reason I use secure folder and I think Swiftkey doesn't play nice with secure folder let me know please.
Mine only did it while trying to get action memo to work with the incorrect version of s-notes.

Had mine since the 19th of September with no freezes or reboots. You can boot into safe mode and if it doesn't freeze it's definitely something you've installed. If it freezes in safe mode I'd see about getting it replaced.

It was definitely switfkey that caused the freezing

Do you use secure folder?
Maybe the fact that there are 2 Swiftkey apps that can cause the issue of freezing

No, it wasn't odd. When I used the correct version of s-notes action memo worked fine.
Action memo isn't supported anymore.

Got cha as for me switfkey was the issue
Yes--Secure Folder has been freezing frequently on me. I am wondering if it is related to my Xfinity wifi or my NordVPN or strongSwan VPN. It seems to freeze less when I use 4G. Do you use those VPNs or wifi? Reply to [email protected]. Thank you
