FRF91 freezes 5 times daily?

What is going on here? It either freezes when:
1) slide-to-unlocking
2) switching between programs
3) google sync icon shows up in notification bar
4) in apps
Need to pull battery all the time! What's going on?
I've had this ever since the FRF50! I'm so annoyed and want to go back to 2.1, but I do love the battery life I'm getting with FRF91.
Any help please?

Sorry, realized I posted this in the wrong forum. Can MODS transfer the thread to Q&A?

I'm getting freezes on the same situations you have posted. However not with the same frequency as you. Mine is 1-2 daily.

strange, my phone is stock and ive had none of these issues, i actually thought my battery life had worsened since 91. It seems like the green meter doesnt drain as quick but the actual percentage drains faster than ever for me, at least i think so

This should unusual and should not be happening. Wipe everything and reflash.

That's Strange... I haven't had any freezes since installing the FRF91 OTA.

Yepp, same here! Never had a single freeze/lock-up since I manually updated to FRF91 from EPF21.

Hardware Issue
Seem to me you either have a defective apps or widget, a defective SD or a hardware issue like defective video ram or something like that, you could try to use a benchmark app like quadrant this may help pinpoint the exact subsystem that cause crash (video, cpu, ram) and try running stock OS with almost nothing loaded ...
This is assuming you are running from a clean install, When you have issue it's always a good idea to clean install (full wipe etc...)

Try to go to bootloader (press and hold trackball when power on), then go to recovery and clear out cache.

Mine is stock and sometimes it freeze when I tried to unlock. I had to turn the screen off and on 1-2 times to make it work again

Following your advice and let me monitor for a day or so. If doesn't work I will wipe everything and reflash.
Thanks!

wipe everything and flash both FRF91 and the latest gapps.

1. How many app you have and 2 are they on your SD? If you have alot of apps ittaking up your internal space causing you to freeze.

I actually installed spare parts the same day i installed stock frf91, so i am not sure who is the culprit. It didnt happen today, but froze yesterday and the day before.
turned off all the animations (transition/window) to get maximum speed out of my n1 using spare-parts maybe thats causing the craziness no?

Same here, 2 or 3 times per days.
I have found that cpu is burned by com.android.email ! This apps eat all cpu power when there is no wifi/data connections available and it try to sync mail...
The phone become unresponsive or very slow until connection return or I kill the app.

Twitter not showing in recently used apps

I've only had the phone less than 12 hours so forgive me if I'm wrong, but when I double tap the home button, Twitter doesn't show up? Any help?

I've had mine for about the same time. That issue isn't occurring for me, though I have flashed the revolution Rom. I'm still getting the hang of using a phone without a physical home key & you just taught me how to find recent apps. Thanks!

It still is for me and it's infuriating. Also, in settings you can change it to a slow double tap which makes it a bit easier to do.
Anyone got any suggestions as to why it won't show in my recently used apps?

WiFi Problems?

I've got this problem with WiFi. At times, when I enable it, the phone slows down a lot, and opening apps take longer than usual. There's also visible slowness when moving around homescreens.
Also, at this point I can't see to turn off WIFI. from both, power toggles and from Settings. It just hangs there and sometimes crashes, otherwise, it takes a few minutes before it gets disconnected, after which the slowness is gone. Does anyone else have this problem ? And were you able to fix it ?

Are you running the stock rom? I had that happen with tunesync once but you didn't mention using that, have you tried doing a factory reset?

Yes I'm running the stock ROM (for now ). I never used tunesync so its not that. I thought about a factory reset but thought I'd hold onto that thought in case someone else had a fix for it

[Q] Note 3 screen wont turn off

As stated, screen will not go off via timeout or power button tap. Power button is recognized and will bring up shut down menu like normal.
Device is rooted (thanks DG) and had been running well for over a week. Defrosted all apps from tibu in case I got over zealous but no better. A factory reset has not cleared it up either. Hoping the oneclick from the root package will correct the issue, but thats not until I get home later this evening.
Has anyone experienced / recovered from this issue?
Smart stay is turned off

I've had noticeable lag like a few seconds and sometimes I wonder if it's going to shut off but it always does. Better set a dark lock screen wallpaper to conserve your battery

I know this is kind of basic, but what is your setting here:

Thanks for the thoughts.
I had already gone through the standard - double check the settings, remove recent apps. When all that failed and a factory reset still didn't clear it up I was beginning to worry about some kind of hardware damage (don't see how since I treat it better than my child ).
Fortunately the one click from the root seems to have restored proper operation. Back to rooting and rebuilding!

I'm having the same problem, I rooted through vroot.... what do you mean one click fixed it little my incite would be helpful....
thank you

Mine just did this, scared the hell out of me It also didn't go into deep sleep before it started. (Not rooted).
Pulled the battery, waited 30 seconds, plugged it back in.... same thing. Waited a few minutes, seems to have sorted itself out.
Scary....

This is definitely a software bug and it is related to the Headphone detection bug that people are having too (it's actually the same bug causing both issues). This happens to me quite often after I restart my phone. It's kind of like the phone hangs during the startup process. I've also noticed that the wifi/bluetooth status that was present before restarting the phone (i.e. whether they on/off) doesn't get applied until the bug sorts itself out.
For me sometimes this works: open an app like Chrome and then hit the home button to get back to your launcher. This works 95% of the time for me. I'm wondering if it has something to do with not having Touchwiz set as the default launcher.

I'm experiencing this same problem. If I don't manually turn the screen off by tapping the power button, the screen will not timeout.

Frozen screen after waking up screen

At some point after upgrading to Android 9 I started having the following issue where if the screen turns off due to inactivity and I turn it back on by pressing the power button, I see whatever screen I had open before it went to sleep but it's frozen. Scrolling touching etc still perform (invisible) actions but the screen is frozen until I either press the app switch button or perform some action that would change the current application. While the screen is frozen the drawer from the top works just fine. Also when the app that gets frozen is the desktop (I'm using the default launcher), I can see the background scrolling if I swipe left or right but the widgets don't change, they are frozen.
Does anyone else have the same problem? Any ideas what could be causing it?

FWIW I have not really solved the problem but I am circumventing it by having the screen lock immediately instead of waiting 5 minutes. That way I have to unlock with a fingerprint every time the screen is off, and unlocking refreshes the screen which "fixes" the problem.

There were lot of reports of glitchy phones after the Pie update.
The cure was a factory reset or software repair with Xperia Companion
Use Xperia Transfer to back up your calls/contacts/texts before you reset the phone

Can you please link a thread, where users told, that problem is solved after reset?
I have the same frozen display (since Android Pie), when turning display off and on again.
Don´t wish to reset and install all again, if that does not help.
bye,
Ralf

Hi Ralf,
the phone will always work better with a reset after a major update, all the Oreo applications are trying to work under Pie. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Oreo apps aren't made to work under Pie and they can error.
here, is one example, or another, but I didn't jump to Pie because of all the negative feedback and the scores of people trying to downgrade.
A reset will fix your problem and if you use Xperia transfer then the amount of personal information lost will be minimal.

Thanks for the links.

This sounds to me, the combination of "old" Navi-apps with Pie is the problem. May be only with Pie on some Sonys.
I'm afraid, a reset will not change the frozen display.
All other apps till now do not freeze after display-on except MagicEarth and Osmand+
This 2 apps i deinstalled (+ deleting the data) and installed again.

Xperia transfer shows me only 2 apps for backup.
I'll probably try a reset in the next few days anyway.

Looks like there is know issue with the Osmand+, the date of the post is may last year, but it may just be a 'feature'
When backing up with Xperia transfer, make sure you select all the boxes that are optional. It's things like text messages/contacts/phone history that are useful after a reset. Some apps can't be moved and have to be downloaded directly from the playstore, but Google should give you that option, after you log back in to the wiped phone.
Edit: I can recomend Sygic, free maps for one country, works without data.

In the meantime, I found more users with this problem and a little solution that another user describes:
I can confirm I have the exact same issue since Android 9 with my Xperia xz1 compact.
I normally have no lockscreen options set. So when I wakeup the Phone, it sometimes kind of 'locks' the screen. Widgets do not respond, I cannot switch home screens. The time on the status bar remains correct. If I then click on an app and go back, everythning behaves normally.
So I'm quite sure this must be a software issue, as other people have this problem to.
My workaround for now is to have a lockscreen option aktive. But I would rather have not, for conveniance.
I tested this also with safe mode and complete factory reset of the phone. The 'bug' is still there.

If I disable lockscreen, then apps stop when it is switched on again. However, I always have to enter pin or use fingerprint sensor, or smart lock.
This often does not work when cycling and is dangerous when cardriving.
On Android 8, the lockscreen did not need to be active.
So the problem is not Osmand and MagicEarth.
It is a Sony 9 bug with Android 9.
bye,
Ralf

Found in an other forum an easy method to reproduce the problem.
disable the screen lock (it must be set to "None");
lock the phone and then unlock it;
lock and unlock it again.

Because I believe that Sony will not fix the error, I could imagine a solution:
An app (possibly tasker), which puts a selectable running app from foreground while pressing the power button in the background and immediately brings it back to the foreground.
Does anyone know such a tool?
