This is about as weird as it gets.
My phone won't let me hang up from a call. I try the touch screen button and the actual phone button and nothing.
Everytime I end a call, it will just stay "connected" until I hard reset the phone.
Has anyone else had this happen? And how can I fix it?

ok, in these cases its good to perform hard reset (not soft reset) if u are not afraid of setting your phone again from the beggining.
Then after hardreset u should try if its still the same, if not check it after every application that u install(u can figure out if it is some app that is causing it). If the hard reset dont help, u shoul try to flash another rom.
i agree it seems u need to perform a hard reset
but first try to remove ur sd card reboot and tell us if you still have the problem

go start-settings-clear storage and follow
i dont think u need another rom (especially if you happy with urs)

hi all, my phone has numerous problems and nothing seems to fix the phone, so ill sum up the issues
none of my apps work, ALL of them force close as soon as they are opened, I've tried factory resetting the phone, but after the reset the apps are still there with the same problem. The same things happen after i do a hard reset. I've tried reflashing stock and non stock firmwares and nothing fixes the problem, my phone is basically useless.
Is there any fix to this?

I don't know what your warranty situation is, but if you can flash back to stock, I'd take it into an AT&T store and see if you can get a warranty replacement. It's possible there may be a fix to your issue, but if you are in a position where you can just swap it out for a new phone, that may be your best/least frustrating solution.
Have you tried going into mounts and storage in cwm formatting everything and then flashing?
My phone is out of warranty
and yes i've tried that but still no luck :/

When you flashed to stock, did you do a Master Clear also? It sounds like a software issue and should be fixed with a complete system wipe.
I'm going to assume you used some type of backup " tibu " or something similar before you did any flashing ? If so did or how did you reinstall your apps and data ? Cuz if you install system apps plus data it would explain why all your apps are force closing. Only install missing apps plus data.
Do the ethical thing... Go to at&t and claim ignorance to the problem. Always works out.
Last week might my bad day. Accidentally delete and lost my external hd which content full of software, stock and custom firmware almost all model Samsung device, Sony, HTC and including iDevice tools..
i known that anybody for sure tell me no solution, just format it then download all kind of things from Xda..
But the problem is how could i get the tools that i have since 2010..
Is there any ideas to make it easy?
i'm really appreciate on every suggestion ..
Thx guys.

do not do anything else with your drive until you've tried to run this through it, deleted items are never really deleted, they are flagged by the drive as ok to be overwritten, if you start to install things or add things to the drive again, you will be overwriting the lost data that you actually want back and then theres a high chance you'll never get it back.

Thx anyway mate..
Hey,
I just noticed that when I'm pressing the screen with one finger, then trying to hold another finger while still holding onto the screen, there is a small delay in recognising the 2nd finger...
This only happens after 30 minutes of usage, as the multitouch works just fine for a while after powering up.
The delay is not that much, but is enough to not recognise when I'm simply tapping the screen, which makes it impossible to play games like fifa 14 properly, since I have to hold down the button for a while to have a response...
I'm currently rooted, on stock 12.1.A.1.205, on the stock kernel.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Yeah I also have multitouch problem.Can't play games that require multitouch(fifa,mc5 etc)
I think it is hardware problem
Quick question dude...did you try a factory reset?
I'm thinking of trying it but I don't want to lose my data without fixing it...
Can anyone confirm that this is a hardware problem?
I have the same problem, and I'm sure isn't a hardware problem because it started when I updated the phone to the 12.1.A.1.205 version.
I also have a problem with the back key, it works for a couple of clicks and it stop working until I press the home key. This happens after the update as well, before all has working fine. It's annoying!

I thought I was the only one with the back key problem. The multitouch one I never tested.
This is why I moved to CM11 (also because of ThemeChooser :silly: )

Sorry to ask this, but, what is CM11?
CM11 is a custom ROM (basically a whole new operating system). And it's based on android 4.4.4
I used to be on CM11, it is so good, but I prefer Sony's UI.
Also, thanks for the help. Since this isn't a hardware problem I'll try a factory reset and see what happens...

Please post your results after the factory reset, I will do the same if it works for you!

I don't think factory reset would work because I keep flashing different roms with complete wipe.
Apparently a factory reset didn't help...neither a firmware upgrade...
So it has to be another thing causing it....
Any other ideas?

Bad news with the reset then
I had to reboot my phone in safe mode (I think this is the name in English, "modo seguro" in Spanish) and the multitouch seems that doesn't fail in this mode. So I think is some program that is loaded with a normal boot which is causing the trouble.

Yeah but when I start the phone it works just fine...It's after a while that the problem happens...
Even if I don't open an app, it's still happening...

Hmm But there are programs that start automatically. I killed every process I don't use, and I'm testing if it works.
I'm fresh out of a factory reset, so I don't really have any apps installed except titanium backup and es file explorer. I also killed every app except the ones that the phone needs to work properly....still no change.
After a random amount of minutes it works fine, without doing anything...
Also a question: How did you test it in safe mode? You can't have your downloaded app on safe mode to test it..

Well safe mode isn't the solution....you can't be onto safe mode for ever...
It's funny cuz the multitouch thing is actually working, but you have to hold the screen to do so not tap it. If u tap it it wont recognise ur finger
Any one got something before I actually give up on this?

The weird thing is that after rebooting from the safe mode to the normal mode and kill every app in execution that I don't use, it works. The multitouch and the back key is working. I have no idea what to think.

When I start up the phone and start a game like Shadow Fight, it works fine for me too. But when I launch another game that's where it starts to delay...
I don't know what else to do...thanks for your help man
Sad news...
After trying everything, from settings to scripts and touch boosting apps, I left my hopes on changing the ROM i use...
I had a stored backup of my 4.3 stock rom in the past. I restored it today and the problem persists...
I also flashed a fresh new build of cyanogenmod 11, which I used in the past aswell. No help...
I can now conclude that this is a hardware problem.
But what I don't understand is...why does this only happen after 30+ minutes of usage of the phone?
I mean it works perfectly fine on games when I start up the phone...
Thanks to everybody for the help...

OOPS that's for unresponsive touch, sorry
Do you also have a problem with this application ? Equalizer settings do not work. Do not memorize settings , and there is no default settings of the equalizer settings. As the phone was brand new it all worked until use Mobile Upgrade Q 5.0.6 from TCL/alcatel...

I have the same problem. No way to save a preset or get a default one.
Though it happened only after i wiped cache partition. Was having problems with calls not being displayed, though phone was ringing, only solution i found, did not help.
So i tried factory reset - didn't help. Tried Mobile upgrade tool from Alcatel - did not help.
Have no idea what would help
Maybe it could as simple as copying maxxaudio settings to android/data?
Update
So i fixed it just by deleting the Android folder on the internal memory and made a factory reset. After that all default settings are back and i can edit all of them.
I have the same problem after one factory reset.. thank you for the solution you post JOUDARAGIS will try.
I have the same problem above but I am a little bit scared deleting the Android folder, intern..
Please convince me doing IT properly so I will do IT the right way not ruin my software..
Please reply..
