Is there already a thread for this? I could not find it. Basically my problem is that my HTC Diamond 2 occasionally looses its signal and then it goes into some sort of infinite loop trying to reconnect, but until I reboot it - no luck. It happens roughly speaking once a week. I have this phone for 2 years now and I have been upgrading it to latest Radio ROMS and also best ROMS from this forum. The problem never went away.
Recently I went on a holiday to another country - I noticed that the phone was much more stable there, although I had the 'event' happening once.
Do you think it is a hardware fault with my phone, or is it something common and fixable?
Regards
Ivan
Please ask in the correct section! We have a Topaz Q&A sub forum for a reason! Please use it!
With that being said, i moved this thread to the Topaz Q & A
Actually I had the same problem as you do and I decide to sent my D2 to the repair centre. They find out that the problem is CPU and RF module. Now expecting to get my mobile back, so will see.
Hi
I've noticed an odd problem the last few days, my phone vibrator suddenly stops working. It'll work for a bit and then suddenly stop and then start again without any apparent pattern. I downloaded the Sony Diagnostics app and it fails the vibration test when this happens - the problem is system wide.. The only recent things that I have done with the phone is wash it briefly after using it with dirty hands and changed my sim to go from 3G to 4G. I don't have any other issues with the phone, a restart doesn't always solve the problem
Anyone come across this before?
Edit: fix title
Bump..., it just happened again now
same problem
I have the same issue, but if i turn the mobile in landscape then tap the mic end of the phone whilst running vibrate diagnostic the vibrate comes back intermitently!
Seems like this is a common problem across the Xperia line of devices, there's quite a few threads about other devices with similar problems. Usually giving my phone a shake brings the vibrator back to life for a short while. It's starting to seem like it doesn't work more often than it does
Mine just stopped working today ugh. Let me know if you found a fix for this. Hope it isn't hardware issue
It must be a hardware problem if giving a shake brings it back, it sounds like there's something lose inside although I don't know if that's just how the vibrator is designed to give it space to vibrate or something else. Sony have recommended I send it in for evaluation, gonna be a pain
Giving it a shake does not solve a thing...
Still, instead of sending it to Sony for repair, I got a replacement from Amazon who is shipping the replacement before I return the faulty item...

I sent mine to Sony under warranty and they've replaced some components. I've not managed to start using it in full again but the diagnostic app hasn't flagged up any problems yet
Same thing happens for me.. I googled it and read a post somewhere and someone said it only stops working when he is typing and shaking the device provides a temporary fix...
Shaking it did work for me as well only for a couple of Mins then it stopped again.. I turned off vibration feedback on my keyboard and the issue has not returned.. So for me it seems to be a matter of rapid use

It happend for me 1 month ago after i listen music during the shower
Vibrate stop and not work until you shake phone.
Anyone could fix it?
I email to usa support and repair phone by their steps last night. But nothing changed.
Unfortaunatly my phone doesn't have warranty and even we don't have official sony office in Iran.
Important
any fix guys ??
i have the same problem !
Same thing here, keyboard kills it and shaking (massive shake from up and downwards) brings it back..
All is temporary of course..
Can some one please post updated information? Did you find software fix? Hardware fix helped?
Please note.

Also guys, lets find some common stuff maybe theres something we all did that caused it
For example i have:
1. Rooted
2. Recovery installed
3. Xposed installed
4. Modded dual speakers for calls
Mention if you've got any of these or other things that might be related..

I also have this issue. This issue has been occurring since the first Lollipop update. Never had a problem with KitKat.
My phone is stock with a full wipe install of 5.1.1. However, I did have all my apps reinstalled before the issue occurred. I never tested if this issue occurs with no apps installed as this is my only phone.

Mine stopped working also.. No shake or bump fixes this, not even temporary. This is so annoying, i never appreciated this feature so much, guess i took it for granted, but now that it's gone.. i'm constantly missing calls and texts..
Good part is now that it started falling apart for no reason, I might as well unlock it's BL and start messing with it
I have been having the same issue with my xperia z3. Vibration stops working when typing or spamming home and back button at random times . I can't see any pattern to it nor any reasonable explanaition to why this is happening. I have never let water come near my phone, nor have I ever rooted it. A tap on the bottom right corner always fixes the issue until the next time it happens. Has anyone found a permanent fix or what the root of the problem is? I feel reluctant to send my phone for repair as it would definitely take more than two weeks. I am also worried that once they open it for a repair it will never be waterproof again. As I can see, a large number of people are affected. Any solution?
Same problem here with Xperia Z5 Compact, but I also have another problem, because vibration does not work at all on vibration mode.
The phone is new, I have latest android update from Sony.
It is working when the sound is on, I have checked settings, and it says vibration is on.
Hi there, I have same issue with my Brand new Sony xperia E4g, i've bought it only for 1 week. I think this was hardware problem, when shaking my phone, it work, then when i turn it to some another positions, it doesnt work, or sound weird then doesnt work. Over all, it will work if i give a shake, then doesnt work in some specifical positions. Anyone have idea? should I take it to warranty service? Thanks
Same problem...
When vibration stop to work, you had to shake your device. So, the vibration will work again...
It's an hardware issue: I tried to flash another rom. I tried to root/unroot: it doesn't matter.
I sent my Z3C in warranty, but they didn't solve anything
I just had this problem a 2 weeks ago and today while writing message. 2 weeks ago, it just stopped working - so i rebooted device and it started working again. Today, it stopped working, so i just tapped back of phone, and it was working again. After a while it stopped working again, so i rebooted it and it's working fine for now but i saw a long time ago that sometimes that vibrations are randomly losing, and sometimes, that vibrations just feels and sound "weird". Specially when then phone is turned with screen upside down (that situaton happened to me every time when was laying in bed, on side or on back). I can't send it to support, i dont have any other phone that i can use as my backup phone... Ofc phone is rooted, xposed too, MM installed, and it had meet succesfully without any problem with normal water. Im washing it sometimes under stream of tap water, checking before that every side its closed properly...
Hello all
My watch has developed a strange display scrolling problem when active watchface is displayed since lollipop update.
Please see the following video to explain the problem.
Have tried to reset via the menu to fix the problem . after reset it works for a few minutes but then it comes back. I feel this is a software fault
Any ideas chaps?
Thanks

bro..im having the same issue..have u manage to rectify it?
I was advised by LG support to return it to the distributor
they initially told me to go back to lg but in the end they gave me a RMA
Now waiting for a repair or replacement watch. Fingers crossed
I had the same symptoms as well. When through LG's customer service to get an "RA" number. I was pleasantly surprised that LG provided pre-paid shipping through FEDEX. I received it back in a little over a week. It appears to be a new watch altogether, as the the front display didn't have the screen protector I put on it, as well as the band looking pristine. So it appears that this wasn't a software issue, but a hardware failure. It was surprising that it didn't have the latest firmware installed, but I'm still happy I have a functional LG Watch R back again! Make sure you keep the invoice/receipt to provide proof of purchase for free warranty service.
I have the same problem in my particular case happen after flashing the Urban ROM ... also think is a sofware problem ... any suggestion, i dont live in the USA and sending the watch to warranty will take months....
How to fix it?
Sorry for popping this thread. I have the same issue. My watch is 10 moth old. I tried to contact LG USA support, but for some reason they don't take responsibility for it. I definitely got my lesson regarding LG support
Did anybody managed to fix this problem? As for now I have $$$ brick
My watch has now developed this problem too but i am on marshmallow.
Would flashing 6.0.1 on the watch fix it does anyone think?
I cannot bring it back to LG as i bought it second hand
Any ideas to fix would be greatly received
I have the same problem, Did anybody managed to fix this problem?
I had the same issue. To solve the problem you need to remove the mainboard from your watch and do a reflow procedure with the mainboard.
A simple way to do it is to put the mainboard in a oven and heat it op to about 100 degrees celsius for about 5 minutes. Remove it from the oven and let it cool down.
Assemble your watch and power up.
problem solved

You are the best, my friend, precisely the problem solved in this way.Thank you very much. :good:
I got my phone on Wednesday (4/8/15) and everything was perfect with the phone nut as of last night (4/9/15) noticed that camera was not rotating and it was kept on landscape, and also applications like youtube would not automatically rotate from portrait to landscape. I verified the screen rotation setting and it was on, did a factory reset and nothing. Called Samsung and no help there they don't know what the problem is. Went to an AT&T store and they could not find the root of the problem, so they are trying to get me a new phone. But while I wait I would like to see if there is a solution because if I can solve it (with help) before I get the new one I can cancel that order. Any one with same issue or knowledge of how to get it fix? please help
Same here
I had it rotate maybe once right when I got it and then it stopped and I have not been able to get the phone to rotate at all, photo, video, web browsing nothing. I am about to do a factory reset to pray and see if that clears it up.... if not its back to AT&T for me as well.
I installed a level app and it at least appears that the accelerometer is registering motion and position, but I am not sure if its reporting right (angles dont really look like the angle they should be.) So I could be faulty hardware/firmware.

it looks like the gyroscope maxes at 30 degree's when the phone is stood on end (which should be 90). Wonder if this is a software/firmware bug, and I am going to assume 30 degrees inst enough to cause the phone to rotate and change position.
I have the exact same issue. 64gb sapphire black edge.
By any chance do you have a wireless charger?

don't have a wireless charger yet. should be getting it next week. but tried the wireless changing at an AT&T store and it worked well. as of the screen issue have to wait 5 business days to get a new phone from the store since neither AT&T or Samsung can figure out the problem. and I am noticing more and more people with same issue here and other forums
I'm giving it a few days for some sort of solution to pop up. If nothing I'm jumping on the return wagon as well. :/
Had the same issue as well. I went to best buy to get a new phone.
I think it might have something to do with the fast charger as it might have fired the gyroscope, because my rotate worked fine till I took it off the wireless charge and plugged into the faster charger.
Best bet would be to call up Samsung and ask them if they there is a issue with this and hopefully they will send out an update (If possible) to fix the gyroscope.
Software issue
I just spoke on the phone with Samsung. This is a known issue and it is NOT a broken gyroscope. It is a software issue and they are working on a fix.
Samsung called too a few hours ago. They are checking on the issue and also there will be an update soon.

I got a verizon S6 edge and it also has the same issue.
I got the black one with 64 gigs and it has the same problem verizon gave me brand new phone as it is under 14 days replacement. I also found that if your mobile is not fast charging just push the usb cable gently into the charger. If you want to use slow charging you can pull it out slightly. There are two modes in the charger.
Hi folks,
I‘m a new proud owner of a Oneplus 3T and I‘m (nearly) 100% happy with it.
There‘s one issue I can‘t figure out and that‘s really annoying…
The flashlight is unusable at the moment, because everytime it‘s used (as a torch or as cameraflash) it will freeze and crash the phone in the moment it‘s turning off again.
I think you can imagine how stupid that is…
Because I bought it 5 days ago I could send it back to receive a new one I think (but that‘s 2 weeks waiting… -.-)
Did someone experience or know this kind of problem? Is it a hardware issue?
I did several factory resets to test it out, but nothing helped. I think as long I‘m still able to get a new one I shouldn‘t try out kernel related solutions, should I?
Thanks in advance for comments, tips, etc.
Carcas23
By the way, it‘s such an AWESOME phone!
