I have had an issue since getting this phone...occasionally the flashlight/torch turns on by itself. I thought that maybe I was accidentally touching the icon in the pull down notifications so I removed the icon but it still randomly turns on. Is there some way of turning it on that I am not aware of?

without more data on your setup the answer is yes tons of ways, too many to type.
usually easier if you provide more info about your phone.

Too many ways to turn on the flashlight? Hmmm
I am running a stock rooted Pixel XL. Something keeps turning it on from a locked screen, how many ways can there be?
No flash apps to speak of?

I bet you have power button to turn torch on. It's a lockscreen screen off feature in most ROMs.

So is it an option on stock Pixel? If so how do I turn it off?

I just got my HTC One for Verizon. It's my first day of using it so it could be something else. But does it vibrate when the battery is fully charged? If so, is there any way to disable that?
Thanks.

Do you mean once it reaches full charge, it vibrates to let you know? If that's what you're asking, then no, it doesn't.
And you can disable all vibrations if you want to. I did!

Thanks! How to "disable all vibrations"? I already put the phone in slient profile. Isn't that enough.

I think for some things like messaging you have to open messaging app and turn on vibration in there.
but go into settings > sound and untick all things vibration related. phone calls, and vibrate on touch (soft keys) back + home
Hi guys, does anyone know how to turn off knock on on the G3? Tried looking for it in gestures settings like in the G2 but can't seem to find it. The g3 keeps waking while in my pocket making it feels constantly warm. Anyone else experiencing this? I don't mind just using the button at the back to wake it. The placement for the button is quite comfortable actually.
I'm sorry to hear this is a problem on the g3, I have this problem on the double tap to wake code on my Nexus 5 and so I just turned it off. I know for the galaxy 2, sorry g2, voice dictation, they released firmware fix for this I think

Can you tell me how you did the wake code on the nexus 5?
And to the op, isn't there a setting in the screen gestures section of the phone to turn it off?
You can turn it off in the hidden system settings menu
Dial 3845#*855# to access it.

It is the very last setting in the list, just scroll all the way down to the bottom.
If you have the Korean model replace the 855 with 400
I turned this feature off as it will save battery life too as it needs to keep the screen driver awake happy using the back button.

855 opens my hidden menu. But I still can figure out which option to choose after scrolling down to the bottom. The screen shot shows my menu. Could u let me know which option should I be disabling?

we don't have that functionality by default, it's patched into custom kernels and eats 2-3% battery per hour (another reason I turn it off)
Just so you know, I had issues with Knock On unlocking my phone in my pocket so I turned it upside down and the issue is 100% gone !
I think it's due to the light sensor not being 100% in the dark then the taps on the lap unlocked the phone. When it's upside down the light sensor is kept in the dark
I just can't find that setting... Ive looked everywhere. My phone is rooted with towelroot. Is that the problem?

Is it really the light sensor? I think the proximity sensor would make more sense in this case! Otherwise you wouldn't be able to use the knock on feature in the darkness...
Screen wakes in my pocket whichever way up I put it in and I don't want to have the screen face outwards. This is very annoying and didn't happen on my G2 - The screen is clearly very sensitive. I don't want to turn off knock on and I don't really like knock code.

Same here. Upside up or Upside down makes no difference for me. Display from body away seems to be the only real solution...
Looks like a few of u are experiencing the same problem. I have been facing the screen away from me as a solution but it feels so awkward when I m so used to have the screen face in. And I can't find the hidden settings to turn knock on off. They really hid very well I guess.
Is this happening to anyone else?
The power button and volume buttons work but the screen is entirely unresponsive. The only remedy is to remove the battery. It has happened three times but not predictably enough to reproduce.
The phone is rooted with IORoot and I'm running Xposed, G3Tweaksbox with quite a few of the theming options enabled (inc. status bar and lockscreen contents). I also disabled the Knock feature through the hidden settings. I'm completely aware that customization might be the cause, but curious if anyone else has had similar symptoms or knows of relevant bugs.
Happens to me as well, D855 version. It happens once a day but i can unfreeze it, i keep tapping the screen and pressing randomly power and volume buttons. It unfreezes after 5-6 seconds but it's by no means a FIX. This should not happen on a new phone and i'm thinking of selling mine and buying some other model by a different manufacturer.
No combination of screen presses for any amount of time gets it working. It's happening 4-5 times a day and is only resolved by taking out the battery.
I tried the method from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792580 but my firmware version did not change.
It only happen to me if I disable the Knock feature..Try to activate the knock feature and see if it helped
Thanks, @bollefinn. Enabling Knock does seem to resolve the problem. Of course, it creates new problems with the phone turning on in pockets, but that's of less concern.

Well that confirms it i hope. I'll give it a shot...
this has happening to me lot now. I could be in the middle of any app and the touch screen will just stop working totally until i lock the screen with the power button and then unlock it.
Just a wild guess, do you have DT2W/DT2S enabled?

I've experienced some issues with DT2W/S on other devices/roms, even when its a feature enabled by the kernel.
Try disabling it.
I'll be sure to try it the next time I have the issue.

happening here as well. noticed the logo used for the "interruptions" settings menu pops up as an indicator at the top of the screen every time this happens. tried changing around the settings within interruptions with no luck. also have dt2w off. imgur . com/KK7riD

Il you put two fingers and make some pressure between the front camera end the rear side of the phone, the screen becomes alive
Hi folks,
I'm running stock (rooted) Lollipop on my M8 with pattern unlock. The notification and quick settings are active whilst in the locked state. I have both the wifi and data toggles on the quick settings. This poses a risk to me, if my phone was to part company from me, anyone could disable connectivity and stop my phone from being tracked. How do I 'lock' the notifications drawer when the pone is locked? I would like to disable the power menu as well whilst locked, but I'm not sure if that can be done.

Go to settings > security and reset your pattern. You should get the options to show all, hide sensitive, or don't show notifications in lockscreen.

This is how Lollipop is, there's no way to disable it. I agree it's an issue, but a thief also has other ways of blocking connections (remove sim, power off phone, etc).

That's right. You can run commands in fastboot as well that disables and resets the lockscreen in case you forget your PIN/password/pattern.

True, but in the time it would take someone to work out how to either remove the SIM or force power it off, I should be able to track the phone, plus leaving WiFi on allows me to connect to it even over public WiFi and get a location.

I'm not sure the average thief is that clued up about fastboot commands.
Thanks for the input here, I'm going to seek out a workaround with xposed modules, this should not be a thing.

WiFi is one thing. But most current smartphones are the same in terms of powering off (just hold the power button) or popping the SIM (just stick a pin in the hole to remove the tray), and a lot of folks know how to do these; and probably most thieves know how.
I don't debate that you have a legitimate security concern. Just don't agree with the comment about thieves being able to power off or remove the SIM quickly.
I'd be just as concerned about the casual (non-thief) person who found the phone thinking "hey, free phone!"

I was looking around at xposed modules, and Advanced Power Menu+ (APM+) has some anti-theft features, though they mostly deal with access to the power menu. You should check it out. I haven't used it in a while, but it says it is compatible with lollipop.
