Diamond keeps "waking"

My phone is constantly waking up when not in use. There is no obvious activity that i see, such as email,SMS etc. I was told possibly when the signal or towers change it wakes up?
All i know is im at work and the darn phone keeps lighting up. Im driving at night and it's lighting up. it's in my pocket and im dialing my last call! This is also killing my batteries!
Is anyone having this problem?? Can this be fixed?? registry tweak?? Im so angry with this phone because of this. otherwise i really like this phone.
Thanks.

I had the problem of dialing when in my pocket... and a slightly different error with the lights.. the ones around the dial just won't switch off even when all the messages and alerts are cleared.
I've found that if you lock the screen so that you can only use the power button, it solves this as it's easy to unlock the phone from ur pocket (I've had it in a jacket pocket and it's done it!)
Should solve it!...
As for the lighting up... have you tried adjusting the power options for optimum battery as this solved the same issue on my Touch Cruise.

you can use TouchLockPro for preventing bogus calls. Are you sure it does not awake on buton presses, a windows mobile setting.

wake up woes
Same issue here. It seems the CDMA Sprint Diamond wakes up on new SMS or when switching cell towers and there is no way to disable that regardless of what ROM you're using. It's ridiculous... and it is my only major problem with the phone. Hopefully someone will find a better solution. Until then Locking the phone will have to suffice.

ive been using the lock feature. the only thing is it often gets "stuck" in lock mode. i will turn on the phone the backlight would be dim - like in lock mode. i can use the phone but it wont come out of the "dim" mode until i take out the battery and put it back in.
separately,
I wonder if i was using the diamond phone from another provider if i would have the same "waking" problems?

I have the same problem. The phone wakes up all the time by itself. It is a problem with the defective power buttons that come on the Diamonds. No fix for that so far that I know of. It is a hardware problem, I think.

Mine wakes up when switching between home and roaming towers. Not sure about switching home to home towers or roaming to roaming. I also had my power button being bumped on from time to time; I'd take out my phone to find it had tried to dial someone, adjust the clock, etc. Very annoying.
Pocket Shield is amazing; it's the only lock app I can find that does what my Treo's always did: unlock on center button.
Works wonderfully well!

Before I upgrade my 1.93 CSL ROM to the 2.0x CSL ROM, it also always woke up itself...
After I upgarded my ROM (i.e. a hard reset) problem gone... So I think that's not a hardware problem...
Yet at this moment I'm still unclear which program caused that problem...

I've been using the locking program S2U2 which is free and it works beautifully.

[Q] Flickering screen - suggestions?

Hello folks, Ian here again.
Back in March, I replaced the screen on my Xperia X1 after dropping it in a toilet. I seem to have full functionality of the whole phone, but the screen connection seems flaky. It will flicker or sometimes simply black out. I've tried opening up and resetting all the connections again without any change. I'm tempted to try some sort of method of gluing the contacts so they don't come undone.
Other issues include:
- the light sensor seems to not be working
- my signal strength seems poor, about half of what it should be regularly
Anyone have any suggestions?

[Q]Few issues with phone, result of dropping?

It has been a few months now and I have dropped my phone a few times since then, although no noticeable damage. Few things that occur:
-Sometimes auto-screen rotate does not work and I will have to restart my phone.
-When I take pictures, the result of the photo is turned a different way and I would have to manually rotate the photo back.
-Sometimes when I take a picture in superior auto mode, it gives me a 1 shot burst. I'm not holding it either. Restarting phone solved this problem.
Two issues that have been around since I first got my phone:
-I have more wi-fi issues with my Z1 than my Z. It often drops signal.
-Camera button sometimes does not work while phone display is off.... however I believe the kitkat update fixed it as I no longer have issues.

When in auto mode the phone anyways made the pictures as burst shot for me, it didn't matter when it was only just one picture.
And about the rotation issues, don't you disable rotation (if not, try enabling and dialing it next time it won't rotate) ?
Sent from HTC One m8, or maybe not anymore

I also have the rotation issue, sometimes when I play a game that relies on tilt, it doesn't work until I restart the phone.
Also my compass and magnetic field sensor do not work, is anyone else getting the same problems?

Help! Black screen on restart

Hey guys,
I had an unfortunate accident where my phone fell in the toilet...
It kept on going ok for the first hour or so, but after a while it went crazy, self switching between black screen and the homepage
Ultimately, it is stuck on a black screen mode - where you can see the clock, weather and date on the upper-middle right side of the phone, as well as the number of steps who is still being updated. When I connect it to the charger it shows the battery status.
I have tried to restart it a couple of times, but after less than a second where my homepage is visible, it switches back to the black screen.
I can receive calls (it looks little of the screen, I can use the touch screen to answer/decline the call) and I am still connected to the net as the whatsapp on my computer is still on.
How can I fix this problem?
I bought this phone in China in Oct 2016 and it was working ok until now.
Please try to help me...
Thanks guys!

Signal issue please help

Verizon S8+ acting up.
Signal stays at 1 bar and jumps to 3 bars back and forth when i try to make a call.
Initially, it will take few seconds before call is made, then call is active and 3 bars are showing.
Constant dropped calls. People cant hear me or vice versa.
Text messages dont go through unless i open the dialer to wake it up ?
Am i waking it up or what ?
Tried network reset.
Tried hard reset.
Tried different sim.
Carrier irrelevent since different sim that has 4 bars on another phone acting exactly the same.
Issue persists.
I observed this behavior in LG V20. Bars go up when making a call but then drop.
