I'm having quite a few issues with my ROM'd Z phone using Paranoid. I've recently updated to the latest version as soon as I was alerted.
1. The lock screen freezes, or rather becomes limited in responsiveness. I use the swipe up to unlock. When I swipe up, the clock/notifications just bounces and eventually the screen goes dark, then off. Sometimes I can reset using the power menu, but often the screen is totally unresponsive so I have to do a hard reset. On occasion I have to reset multiple times consecutively because it locks up immediately after boot... until its finally usable again. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7OGcalUJSgHblZob2Q2eHNkLU0
2. The phone gets hot in my pocket. When I notice this, often it has unlocked, turned on GPS, turned on the LED, taken photos and opened apps, or a combination of things. Sometimes even made a phone call, either to a contact or a recent from the log.
3. Recently I noticed it randomly ghost selecting right in front of me. I was unable to unlock and had to hard reset the phone.https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7OGcalUJSgHVmJhQ0FOUDdLQkE
4. I am not getting SMS alerts from Optus 321 telling me I have messages from when the phone was off, or out of service range. Often I won't know till I randomly check days later, or when I miss a call (while on another call or in service range) and they leave a message.
5. Sound drops in and out from the other party. They can always hear me. Randomly, on some calls. I can have 3 good conversations, then the next I have to call back multiple times before I get enough up time.
5a. When I'm making a call, I may not even hear the outgoing ringing tone.
6. On any new call, the the volume on my Bluetooth headset is usually down about half way. I click the Vol+ and it immediately jumps to full, the volume bar already being at full.
7. When it rings, it often takes a second or more (after the ring tone has started) for the screen to turn on.
On suggestion by a friend, I disabled a lot of notifications, but the lock screen still won't unlock even when the only thing showing is the clock.
I guess there is problems with the the phone hardware, the ROM or incompatibilities with it and an APP.
Is there some diagnostics, or an app that I can run that will log what is going on and I can have someone look at those logs for me?
You should ask in Paranoid Support Thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-zl/orig-development/rom-paranoid-android-5-t2992023
Thankyou. I could not find it.
edit: That thread is closed. There is a link at the end for a 'new home', but that thread is under Xperia ZL. Is the ZL considered the same phone?
I'm really sorry.
i gave you a wrong link. Shame on me.

I have had my Diamond for about 5 days now. The other day I noticed it will get stuck in a constant weak vibrate. It seems that a vibe event will cause it to start, like the phone doesn't know to stop vibrating.
I call it weak, because while it is doing this, I can go to volume settings, select Vibrate and the much stronger vibrate even occurs. It seems if I shake the phone or move it around a bit the weak vibrating will stop.
Also shaking the phone sometimes causes this weak vibrating to begin.
Sounds like a mechanical issue ? I have installed some apps like GSen & SensorLock. A couple others like Advanced Config and done some of the registry tweaks.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Un install sensor lock and test. i had this issue with an old version ofthat application.
I have uninstalled both GSen (Since it wouldn't rotate SMS for me on Sprint Diamond) and Sensor Lock. The device is still doing this strange vibrate.
I noticed even when I hold the power button and turn it off (soft reboot?) it continues the odd vibrate. The vibrate will however stop when I remove the battery.
Just giving an update. The phone has stopped doing this strange vibrate action. Not sure if it was related to the program un-installation or not. As stated above it continued to do the vibrating action after the program was uninstalled, but definitely less frequently.
I had something very similar the other day. I'm using the swift ROM.
Its never happened before, and i've been using this same rom a for a while now.
ya i have the sprint diamond and mine did that the one time when i took it off the charger. it would vibrate pulses and the phone was like frozen. So i plugged it back in the charger and uninstalled sensorlock and its fine now

Somewhat off topic but did you find anything that rotates in SMS on the Sprint Diamond?
Don't blame it on Sensor Lock. I don't have that program installed & mine started vibrating non stop the other day. I couldn't get it to stop & finally did a hard reset. It still continued to vibrate all the way to the point where it got to the green Windows Mobile screen. It stopped, after that & it hasn't happened again since (this was on Saturday). I had done some of the reg tweaks for TF3D performance & nothing else.
sensor lock was the only program i had installed so it was the reason for me. as far as i know only way to rotate SMS with sprint diamond is the long press key
I have also done some of the reg key tweaks on my diamond. It did happen again last night, but before that it's been a few days. I had GSen installed, and it wasn't rotating on SMS, I think I read it wouldn't work with the Sprint Diamond.
What is the long key press method?
Hi guys
I have noticed something weird. My phone won't ring when the screen is locked, in fact, it doesn't show the incoming call screen or anything. Eventually, I am told that "the cell phone I am trying to ring is either turned of or outside the cell phone network" by a pre-recorded message. I am running 2.1 black Quarx.
Its very strange, if the phone is unlocked and I ring it then it rings and everything is fine. If I ring it while its locked, then unlock it, then sometimes after 10 seconds it might ring eventually.
Has anybody got any idea about what is going on?
Actually, its a little more complicated as I have found out while been playing around a bit today. If I leave it for say more than 10 minutes, it won't ring. If I leave it alone for 10 minutes, then ring and let the phone ring for a minute my cell won't ring. If I hit the home button which wakes the screen up, the phone will - after a 2 or 3 seconds delay - show the incoming call screen and start ringing! It doesn't seem to matter if its plugged in or not, in fact, I can run "adb catlog" while ringing! Nothing in the logs seem to hiont at what the issue is.
I used to get something similar to what you are experiencing but somehow along the way the problems just stopped. I think its because I've flashed my phone so many times. Just reflash your phone and see if that helps. If it doesn't then flash to a different 2.1 version

It is probably an issue with my cell phone network, rather than my phone! Which is good and bad, because it means I have to wait for those dicks to fix their stuff - I can't fix it myself.
Hi, I have a huge problem. Every time I make a call, preferably my voicemail, it asks me to press a number in the keypad.
Okay, that's fine. But the only problem is the screen blacks out immediately when the call is made and I cannot choose any of the options. I'm still in the call, although it will repeat the options for about a minute and just end the call.
I can't end the call manually or use the keypad. Tried pressing the lock button, the search, the menu, and Back button. Nothing seems to work.
Is there anything I can do about this? Because this is really becoming a hinderance.
Hi the proximity sensor should brighten the display up the moment you take it away from your ear, if it dosent prpbably there is a problem with it and you need to check it out with either the provider or HTC if you can.
normally to end call you click on the notification on top of the phone.
It is kinda annoying there is no physical button to end calls but i guess thats touchscreens for you
Probabily you use one case
that cover the proximty sensor
I don't use any case or screen protiction... maybe I should to replace it...Thanks..

I had the same problem. Hard reset solved it. Also solved a problem I had connecting with intermittent connections to Wifi. I think a bum app may have caused the problems.
Starting to happen again, not like last time though. Now it's intermitent and seem to recover when the other end hangs up. May try to get a replacement phone this time.
From what I've seen around the internet this is an OS issue... And it happens to me intermittently as well, though my lock button brightens the display... It seems to have something to do with the screen timeout and the lock screen enabling itself...
Mine had the same issue.
I would pull it away from my face, nothing.
Laid it down flat, nothing
Occasionally it would flash.
I had to return it, no problems since.
The sensor must have been loose and slid behind the open area of the glass.
If you can still, get a replacement
My replacement is in the mail. I have found that if I shake or tap the phone it will flicker and come back during a call. I think the sensor is faulty.
Hi all. Got my first ATIV S Neo with Sprint a couple weeks ago, had graphical corruptions, and random reboots, replaced it for another.
This one works much better, but there are some issues I'm seeing (nitpicking?) and I'm not sure if I have another defective handset or if this is just WP8, or if this is common to just this handset. Came from an HTC arrive on WP7.5 and things were pretty stable.
1) Occasional live tile animation stuttering; If I, for instance, go into the messages hub, sometimes the live tile swing animation will lock for half a second and then immediately pop into the message hub. Happens loading other apps too.
2) Occasional lock screen weirdness;
2a) very rare; press power button, screen comes on, screen fades out like the phone lost power but not to backlight, then backlight shuts off, pressing the power button again, everything works fine.
2b) occasional; in a dark room, press the power button to wake to lock screen, press again to turn off. screen/backlight goes out, backlight comes back, then goes out, then quickly comes back and back out.
3) in IE, typing in the address bar, text input freezes as it brings up suggestions from bing. (type "google.com" and get "gole.com"). disabling search suggestions makes it go away.
4) Text notifications stop working; sometimes the text notification sound stops playing (vibrate remains working). Reboot corrects it. Have also had it where the vibrate alert goes away and not the sound.
Anyone else seeing these? Are these known or is this phone also messed up?
Haven't seen those on my (open-market GSM) ATIV S, but there were a handful of glitches when I first got the phone. Those were corrected in the first big fiormware update from Samsung in my case, but I had to wait a few months for it.

Thanks, that makes me feel a little more comfortable. These problems really don't feel like hardware to me, since they're fairly infrequent. I might have to stop by the sprint store and test the display model out a little.

Some of y'all have probably gotten the latest update, that includes the Dec security patch, camera improvement and more importantly that new spam-screening stuff. Well, I've gotten 5 spam calls today, after not having one for days, and when the caller hangs up (after hearing nothing but silence from me) the screen locks up. But just the call phone app/call screen.
I can hit the home button and return to my home screen just find, close and reopen the phone app just fine, but that hangup freeze is kind of annoying. Reason being because after every spam call ends you know about that "block number" option that appears right after the call ends? I can't get to it because of this bug. I tried taking a screen shot but it wouldn't let me because the screen freezes.
It's not a big deal, just a minor inconvenience but I wanted to know if any other T-Mobile user with the latest OTA has experienced the same thing.
I'm on Verizon and have a similar problem. It's a major pita. Anytime I get a call my phone freezes up. I can't unlock it for at least a few tries, once unlocked all I've got is a frozen black screen with a missed call notification and an ongoing incoming call notification at the same time. Neither can be dismissed or cleared. It does show me the options to but they don't work when pressed. Average lockup of my phone is upwards of 5 minutes. If I miss a call no matter how long ago it came in I've got the same issue unlocking and it always displays the missed call and appears that the call is either active or incoming. Basically can't use the phone as a phone. Texts work fine however.
