I tried some different roms, s-off and all that but settled on just stock. I've been getting OTAs and what not. Now I get this problem where every few seconds or few minutes the phone will just totally freeze for 1-15 seconds. It usually catches up, and registers any input I gave during the freeze. I have no idea what's causing this.
Any ideas for how to fix it?
Just thinking about how I did the full phone encryption thing, but I'm not sure if I did that before or after it started.

My father has a Telus Milestone. Never rooted. He's on AT&T, but has gotten at least one OTA update.
The Back and Search Buttons seem to illuminate randomly sometime after the phone is booted.
They go off when the phone sleeps, and may or may not come on again latter. Sometimes seconds or minutes - sometimes hours. They'll even go on and off seemingly randomly while the phone is sitting on a table.
I've looked for any apps that would use these lights, and we've deleted many un-needed apps/widgets, or things that may start at boot.
Even looked at the logs in DDMS. Did not see anything obvious.
The next option is a Factory Reset, but that seems drastic for a nuisance problem like this.
Has anybody seen this? Any options other than the Factory Reset or Worse, a re-load?
Thanks for any help.
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 there.
I have a stock Samsung Galaxy S4 Active on the AT&T network. Recently, I've been plagued by a number of troubles.
Bit of background:
For a while, I had the most bizarre issue: the screen thought I was touching it when I wasn't, near the bottom-middle of the screen, and would attempt to open/click on anything in that area. Often turning the screen on and off would help, for a little while. I was reaching my wits' end, because that would obviously be very frustrating to someone who uses their phone frequently throughout the day.
I thought maybe it had been new software I had installed, so I did a factory reset. Problem remained. I factory reset with NO backups. Problem remained. I updated to 4.4.2 via OTA. Problem remained...
And then mysteriously went away on its own.
I've been working in tech for a decade now, mainly in PC and server architecture, so I know better than to look a gift horse in the mouth - but I also know better than to think a problem that "mysteriously" goes away is gone for good. So the first part of my question: does anyone know what could have possibly been causing this?
I'm not super phone-savvy. I've rooted and flashed a few phones in the past couple years, but I'm by no means developer-level.
---------------------
Which brings me to my next problem... around the time that this issue went away, another one cropped up. Randomly, my phone will stop sending/receiving texts/calls, and the data connection will not function. This will continue until I turn on airplane mode and turn it off--at that point I receive all my missed texts, and it works again... sometimes for 5 minutes, sometimes for nearly 2 days. It's really frustrating. I've tried factory resets, I've tried restoring default APNs... but I'm at my wit's end with this. Can anyone help?
Thanks!
I should add that, with my last issue, it still shows a data connection in the notification bar - but there is none, or at least, no activity on it. It doesn't simply act as if it's in airplane mode and go "wah no data network" as soon as I try using it--it just simply hangs for ~30 seconds, then times out. Messages don't get received, webpages don't load, calls don't get placed, etc.
I've been on holiday and while there my phone seems to have broke. It constantly restarts it's self - it gets to the HTC One splash screen and then will reboot again.
Most of the time I cannot get it into recovery as it will crash and re-start before it gets there, but I did manage a moment ago to get it to work for around two minutes and in that time I wiped the device - still having the issue though.
It's rooted with a custom rom, but I havent changed either of those elements in a good few months so dont think it's related.
I suspect this is a hardware issue and I'm boned, but wondered if anyone had a suggestion?
Hey guys, I've been having some issues with my RP2 since fresh out of the box. Randomly, my phone screen will not turn on and will stay black. The phone itself isn't shutting down, as when I attempt to turn on the screen, I can feel the haptic feedback from an attempt to unlock via fingerprint.
It's really touch and go, sometimes its good for a day or two, sometimes it'll do this two or three times a day. A hard reset (Pwr+Vol Up) gets it back running again, but it's getting really annoying and interfering heavily with just everyday use.
Anyone else having the same issue? Anything I've read around the web hasn't helped or isn't pertinent. This happens on complete stock and running Arter97's kernel, so I'm left to believe it's a hardware issue (please no) or a ROM issue, i.e. Razer did a crap job.
Any thoughts? Thank you in advance!
