Hello.
When i didnt think it could be any worse, well then it got worse

Well i updated to 14.4.A.0.108 and my phone is really weired after that. This is one of the things happening. And yes i tried to wipe and flash fresh. And also with no screen protector on. If i turn on screen and then turn it off and on again this usually doesent happen. But if i just turn it on to swipe, this happens almost every time now.
I tried to wipe the phone reverting to the .761 firmware and even .757 but this is still present. If i do the screen diagnostics it works like it should. This happens as said after waking the screen up. But if i just turn the screen back off and then on again then this isnt happening.
So the newest update must have caused something i cant get rid of since i didnt have this issue when i was on .761. I tried a custom rom aswell, same issue.
Im lucky my OnePlus One phone is on its way atm. Because i dont see anyway of saving this phone now.

Okay, I have been having a serious issue with my D3 lately. One time, my phone just randomly rebooted, and then it would get stuck at the red "Droid Eye" screen, where it would be laggy and such after a while. Eventually the screen would time out in like 2 minutes. After it turned off, I could not get it to turn back on. Basically dead, except I could still get notifications and even a phone call. But I could not act on any of them. it's like the phone's heart is still beating, but I can't turn the screen on. I pull the battery and reboot and it does it again. SOMETIMES if I keep touching the red eye screen I can get to get to the lock screen, but the wallpaper won't load and it's basically frozen. I even tried booting into safe mode and that didn't help. I took it to Verizon, they said they've a couple other people with a similar issue on the forums. They did a factory reset, and that has been the only solution to the issue. I have had it 3 times now, and this time I'm sticking with the Blur launcher and keeping only the essential apps installed. I'm assuming this is a software issue, and I'm currently trying to figure out if it is related to a certain app that was installed. Hoping they will fix this with an update! ANYBODY ELSE HAVING THIS ISSUE? if so, any leads on another fix or what it could be?
sounds like a software issue. a factory reset doesn't do anything other than change the software.
I had a similar issue on my droid 1. it was rooted and when I installed a gingerbread from I forgot who, it got stuck at the eye, kept rebooting, and occasionally, i'd get calls and it still wouldn't work. I look forward to root.
out of curiousity, did you have to take it to the store to factory reset or is there an option for it in the bootloader(I know its locked but I have no idea to what degree)
The first time I took it to the store they did it for me, but yeah there's an option in the bootloader. Just took my back to Verizon cuz this was the 4th time it's done it, they're sending me a new one! It's okay, cuz my nice screen open 'click' sound was gone on the keyboard lol
Hey guys,
I could need a bit of help! It's now the third time I'm having this problem, don't ask me why. I've got the feeling that I read the whole forum here, but didn't find anything similiar.
The 1st time I didn't change anything (ok, rooted it, but nothing else)
The 2nd time I overclocked it slightly (~850-900 MHz)
Now I'm using MIUI.
But back to the problem:
I'm unable to use the keyboard, every time I'm sliding open the keyboard (even when it's turned off), it "crashes". The screen stops working or it freezes, the only way to turn it off is taking out the battery.
However, the bigger problem comes now: I'm barely able to restart it. It tries booting, but is restarting all the time or the screen is just turning on (in some angles you see that it is turned on but it's black). After many retries, it starts working, sometimes the bootloop is running 15min or i have to manually restart it 10 times or more. The strange thing is that the keyboard works fine, nevertheless I have to choose between using it opened (taking it with me becomes difficult ) or closed...
...the main problem now is flashing a new Rom, I'm currently trying it through the android sdk and adb, but using the power-button + x is easier
I don't think that I can solve the problem, I sent the device two times back (warranty till may 2012), but maybe someone here knows a bit more. My guess is that one of the sensors is broken, or some parts of the display that should manage the sliding process...
Anyway, thanks for your attention!

Tried to use one a time ago, but it wasn't working right....
However, now I'm not even able to boot it, the screen just flashes and turns off itself before trying to restart a few moments later....guess I lost my Milestone
Sbf back to stock?

the computer isn't finding it anymore...I'll back up the data and try use my warranty... I hope that they don't complain about MIUI...
But I'm still not getting the point, why my mobile had these issues three times, although they "repaired" it twice...and nobody else is having the same problem
Hi,
My Xperia gave an OTA Update and said it improves battery life and enhanced user experience.
After the update the screen rotation is all messed up. The screen settings are wrong. Worst of all, even after turning it off, the games are also not working right (probably because of wrong readings).
I have also tried *#*#7378423#*#* and tried to callibrate.. but of no avail.
Also the screen goes blank adn pressing the power button does not respond for a while.
Any idea how this update can be rolled back.. The phone is a mess now which is especially bad cause I was loving the experience so far. :S
Any help..
Bump..
Ive also done a factory reset and also updated via Sony PC Companion..
No use.. Im guessing Im the only one whose phone was updated from SONY yesterday to deliberately make me hate it .. :S

Flash new firmware with flashtool...
yup did that.. finally to get rid of sony's stupid update and it worked..
Thankfully the phone is back as good as it was and does not lag on unlocking like it had started to do so.
One small problem, the rotate screen does not work sometimes, when I restart it it works. But atleast its not giving crazy readings like it was with SONY update.

Did you recalibrate from service menu after the final flashing? Just an idea..
no not really.. it started to work fine after flashing of the original software (4.3)
I DID however tried my best to recalibrate from Service menu BEFORE flashing i.e with the updated software patch from Sony.. but it didnt work. Every time I recalibrated on Flat surfaces, it said calibration successful.. but after a min or two wehn using the phone. all of a sudden they went bonkers again
After a day like that the readings stopped showin..?? I thought the phones hardware went bust .. but apparently a software issue..
Hopefully somebody can help me. The reboots happen when i have the phone in my pocket and im walking around. I can have it out and use it all day and it wont reboot. When i do take it out of my pocket the screen is black and it takes me a couple of times to get it started. Seems like it's in a deep sleep and it wont turn the screen on.
I tried Factory Reset and Wipe Cache. Still happening.
My guess it's either a bad flash? or bad hardware
If it's a bad flash how can i reflash the phone?
Btw the phone is stock G955U
Hey all! New here. I just soft bricked my phone, i woke up to it not booting. I tried various fw in Odin, but no success. This is my day to day use phone, I don't have anything else, so I'd like to make it work again ASAP, hopefully without factory reset.
Hi
what manipulation did you do to get there before flashing a lot of stuff in odin?
I've been just pressing the buttons all around, then I read about Odin, so I tried it. Now my battery died, let's see if I can get to wipe the cache...
Update: no success. Is there a way to get it into recovery? the old volume up+bixby doesn't seem to work.
Sometimes its because the recovery itself is error so that button combination is not working..
Charge your battery until full, then factory reset it with odin, let see if that works
But before you do that make sure you download correct fw that match your phone model. dont try all fw available there, make sure you download fw for SM N950F..
Well it worked and it broke again... Back to square one.
Your infos are kinda vague.
Did you modify your phone and it got triggered by user-action, or did it hit the fan by itself?
I think it was a suicide attempt, I never flashed before, only major thing was just a battery change in a samsung service last summer. It's weird, because since last time it turned on again, but seems like the wifi didn't want to communicate, plus as I look back, sometimes it restarted when I touched the wifi or some random setting. Somewhere else I read that it could be a motherboard failure.

This was happening to me too before my phone just started bootlooping to recovery
Well it's been a few months, so a little update: it still reboots sometimes all out of nowhere, but now I have a different problem: tried to log into a mcdonalds app and it says it detects a security issue. Not that i'll cry over it, but definitely interesting. Anyway, I really think this is some sort of hardware issue related to wifi, because every time it started rebooting, about one out of two times i was turning the wifi on or off. Also sometimes the wifi just wasn't available or working, strengthening my thought. As I read on other threads, this is probably some manufacturing/serial issue, that just happens to come forth after all these years. Probably the last time I bought a Samsung...
