1. The auto focus on the camera is out of whack. I've tried every setting. It just focuses and then re-focuses several times before it catches focus. I constantly have to use manual focus.
2. The haptic feedback is all weird. First of all the haptic feedback is way too strong with no way to turn it down, only completely off. Second, when typing fast on the keyboard the vibrator goes into kind of a "spin" and vibrates for a long time if you understand. Haptic feedback also does not work on SwiftKey.
3. Sometimes the Power button won't wake up the phone. It's not often that it happens, but sometimes.
Has anyone else encountered these problems?
Number 3 has happened quite a few times to me. Annoying to say the least.

So just the other day all forms of vibration stopped working on my phone. I first noticed that haptic feedback stopped working. I turned it off then re-enabled it. The first key press get a vibration, but after that, nothing. I then realized my phone wasn't vibrating when getting a text, and everything else that should cause a vibrate no longer was.
Is there anyway to determine if this is a software related issue or a hardware related issue?
My phone is rooted with Carbon ROM.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've only had this phone since November.
Looks like this will come to a hardware problem.
I noticed I was missing calls because the vibration on my G3 was not working.
I downloaded a vibrate test app and it has two options. One long vibration and one constant short vibration.
My phone refuses to vibrate sometimes, but if I shake it, it starts vibrating for a short time (testing the short vibration option)
If I use the long vibration and shake it, it vibrates "infinitely".
When it works properly, the vibration looks stronger.
In other words, it's look like a battery that it's not properly placed.
It's weak/not working but works sometimes.
TBH, it has been very weak/not working in the last few days.
Should I search for a assistance center and ask for a changing on my G3 vibrate motor,
or should I try anything special (Lollipop bug)?
Hey, I have the EXACT same problem. Everything you described... how you shake it on long vibrate it will vibrate infinitely regardless of shaking it afterwards. The app you're using is "Test Your Android" am I right? Well I have the exact same problem as you and it's causing me to miss calls and notifications every day.
I doubt it is a hardware problem because shaking it allows it to vibrate forever. I tried shaking it while vibrating to see if there is something loose or not well placed, but shaking as hard as I can while it was vibrating did nothing. Maybe software errors involving shaking the phone and vibrating?
Theory # 2: Maybe the "Long Vibration" allows it to constantly come "unloose" thus why when under long vibration it doesn't stop, but the short vibration stops because it pauses every so often.

Maybe it's just me, but I couldn't figure out how to set a screen timeout. I saw threads about screensaver, etc. but never came across a post about telling how to make the HU turn off the screen automatically and stay like that. There is a legend about Android being configurable, but this is killing it for me.
I know there is several ways to do it manually like long pressing the Mute(thx to Wolf Hamburg) or trying to locate the incredible small on screen button, which I find even more stupid and dangerous than texting in the car. But besides it's far from being comfotable, there are a few more issues which I should face when the screen is off. First it will turn back on seemingly random. It will turn back on if I change the volume, not like on my phone. To avoid this I tried to activate the speed dependent volume control, at most it could have been a workaround, but it was malfunctioning as well...(after 5 sec you switched off the screen it will set the safe volume, then turn back on the screen, if you retry it might work for some time after the second try).
What I'm looking for is a very basic functionality which works with every android phone I know: set a screen timeout (15-30 sec) and being able to change the volume without lighting up the display.
I would be really thankful for a solution!
p.s.: I already tried to switch off the stay always on in the debugger menu, without any effect :\
That bothers me too, specially screen coming back on volume change.
Hope someone develop a solution.

This isnt normal Android, its been modified to work with car head unit components in a car stereo and the Chinese devs have, annoyingly, done it so that ANY screen press, even volume changes, turns on the screen. Theoretically it shouldnt be too hard to change, just a case of searching for the code and of course there will also be some sort of interaction with the MCU. You could try looking in the build prop if your unit is rooted.
If you have a Klyde unit with hard buttons, holding down mute will turn the screen off, this may work on others too.

Today; Is there any solution for this to turn off the screen automatically? I'm looking at lots of posts without finding anything. I hope someone can help me. I have Android 6.0.1 Mashmallow.
I use this app, activated by my SWC. Only minor issue is that you have to tap screen to turn on. Screen stays off during volume changes.

This one really grinds my gears.
I use wired headphones a lot. and whenever I do and the phone is in my pants pocket, the thigh touching through the fabric of pocket turns on the screen many times. So I disable double tap to wake.
Every time I receive a call and phone is in my jeans front pocket, random buttons would be pressed. call would go on hold, or mute itself, or turn on speakerphone, or open keypad, turn on record etc.. and it is extremely frustrating. even more so when a business client calls me and I accidentally put him on hold because my phone is so stupid it does not understand not to turn on the screen touch. The proximity sensor works fine because when talking on call it will turn off the screen. just not the touch. My torch gets activated pretty often when pulling the phone out of pocket. this is so stupid infuriating.
The rest of the phone is amazing. I love the hardware. its pretty fast, runs games fine. camera is also very good. but the bloatware and the bugs are getting on my nerves.
This bug is from the day I got the phone.
Realme UI 3 update did not affect the bug but actually made it worse as the torch triggering issue has gotten worse.
I have not encountered any major bugs in the new update apart from a bluetooth volume fluctuation bug.
Am I alone having this issue?
PS: I forgot to mention that several times the quicksettings toggles are also triggered Like Data/Wifi turning off, VPN getting activated, Airplane mode turning on etc.
