[Q] Galaxy NOTE SOD problems.

My brother's galaxy note have been facing serious sod problems since he bought the phone at Nov 2012. After he faced it the 1st time , he sent to SC and got it back. After 1-2months the problem came again and he asked for my help. I persume it was because the malaysian firmware of the ICS was somewhat unstable from what i read from forums here and there. So i changed the firmware to JB duno from which country when it came out in MAC. After a week or so. The problem reappeared . So I just decided to root and chnge the kernel and also the ROM. Changed the ROM to a stock rom and a kernel. Still the problem persist. I'm out of options. Went to the ****ty SC and the idiots just factory reset the phone and give u back. BUNCH OF RETAR*S . (sorry for my languange)
Hope someone here may help me out with my problem. Thanks a million :laugh:

Check all the apps you have installed maybe you find the bad one whose causing it as you have mentioned it comes after sometime of installing a fresh rom and have you tried any aosp rom maybe that will fix the issue

I just installed an aosp rom (PA) and I hope it fixes the problem. Well I've seen the amount of apps installed in the note and its jst a quarter the amount I have in the Galaxy S2 and my S2 works like a charm. The note has been giving me headache ever since I got it from my brother. Hope this does solve it , if not I guess its something else maybe hardware

Phone sod twice on paranoid android. FML! Guess im visiting SC tmrw again.

Same problem with me..
My Note 1 has SOD since 1st time bought it..
be patience to install JB --> still SOD
change kernel to SpeedMod 5.3 --> SOD again
change kernel to PhilZ --> sometimes SOD
I have read many information that related with SOD in galnote 1, my opinion it is related with hardware too.. sometimes
or it is related with kernel... it can not wake from deep sleep..
anyone have another better suggestion to cure this ?

if u're using pure stock rom still facing the same problems then definitely is hardware issues！
if ur device still under warranties suggest bring to SC ask them do a thorough check on it n let them know what's going on actually...

Yes, I use stock ROM still has SOD,
so it's hardware issue for sure...
but I will keep the phone for now because sometimes SC doesn't give solution to this..

I too get this SOD once a week on my GT-N7000
Phone status when this happens:
stock JB(earlier ICS), non-rooted, data connection, wifi, GPS, bluetooth all disabled. Battery mostly above 80%.
Gmail, Google+, Facebook and all other social n/w apps disabled (yes, i am an oldtimer )
During SOD, if a third party calls my number, he hears it ringing, but my handset is dead as dodo (quite dangerous as the calling person may think i am not answering it)
i used to get this when it was on ICS and still getting it after i upgraded to JB.
Most of the time, SOD occurs during wee hours in morning ( i used battery monitor app that logs battery stats every 10 minutes to check the time when this happens).
Sometimes it occurs when the phone is in my jeans back pocket. phone needs a 10 second press on pwr switch to restart it.
Turning off the "power saver" mode seem to reduce the probability of SOD.
i have taken this phone to SC and they re-flashed the JB.
i told the SC chap that i have already done this and couple of factory resets, but he said that they do "much more" than just re-flashing through kies like calibrating camera, bluetooth )
does anyone in the know, know if this is indeed true ?
Thanks

updates...
After 2 days of re-flashing at a samsung authorised service center, i got SoD 2 times in a period of 12 hours.
once last night and second time when i was traveling to office.
Last night i installed some bare-minimum apps back after waiting 2 days for any SoD to happen in "stock" condition.
Well.... i did not pay 30K to use the GNote as just a phone, so installed some basic apps (Battery monitor, Bangalore BMTC, RealCalc, GPS Test, ES File explorer and a first time app StatusLogger)
phone went dead at 1:00 am in morning and as usual there was no wakeup alarm.
phone was warm to touch when it was lying dead. The battery which was 96% at 00:30 AM had gone down to 54% at 7:00 AM.
Status logger did not show any loss of GSM signal which might have resulted in phone transmitting at higher power/hunting for signal etc.
The "radio" seemed working, because when i made a call to the dead phone from my landline, i could hear the phone ring instead of expected "phone is switched off" message i was expecting.
So this has to do with application processor going in some infinite loop.
Uninstalling all apps is NOT an option.
anyone know if we can establish any debug connection to phone and know what the hell CPU is up to in this situation ?
any processor logger that will periodically log all the processes running on phone ?

SOD resolved... not a single one since 6 months.
Hey guys, just wanted to share this info with you, I had SOD's like anything and did all freakingly possible things right from flashing roms to kernels, speed up CPU, banging my head in front of the dumb witted morons at samsung service... to get rid of that pain. What helped me was an app called "WAKELOCK" by darken which is merely 72kb in size but works wonders, not a single SOD after that. What u need to do is.... it has a list of presets that makes sure your cpu stays up. You need to select the preset called "partial wake lock" which is at no. 4, and viola...
It ensures that the CPU is running. No SOD ever after. Also, you need to make it autorun on boot from the options. Yea, it does eat up batter a bit more but its definitely manageable. I still need to charge my note only at night.
Just to be sure, I uninstalled it and guess what, SOD returned. So, do try it, I hope it helps...

Random lag, freezes, camera problems. is this device flawed?

Hi everyone!
I'm trying to determine if it's only my phone acting up or is this device flawed by design.
Basically, the more i'm using it, the more it freezes for random amounts of time. I have to clear the RAM constantly, and when that doesn't work, a restart will temporary fix problems. It can be anything, like failing to unlock, or taking 10 seconds to do so, camera opening black for 10-30 seconds, etc. Literally anything can lag badly and randomly, especially under heavy use (or no use, considering it doesn't unlock).
Am i the only one experiencing this? I've contacted Huawei and they want to send my phone to China "for analysis" but this is absurd. I've got exasperated with this phone to the point where i emailed the founder of Huawei to challenge him to use this device for a week and see if he can. They actually responded. So, if this IS a design fault, then i will gladly tell you where you can complain "at the top". I'm just trying to determine if i'm a pretentious prick or this is truly a horribly flawed phone.
BTW, i'm on B115

My pra lx1 works great. Lags are rare.

Mine lags also same as yours

Hello, mine had that problem when I was on the b125 version, now I'm on b182. The problem was fixed for me when I updated to 170 back in october.

You should update with firmware finder or debrand your phone .

Hi there, I just wanted to say that I also have problems with my Huawei p8 lite, camera freezes up to 30 seconds, changing from front to back camera and vice versa takes at least 20 seconds, the phone is slow and not respondin as it should. I had it forba month and a half now and would love to change it for some other device!

I'm on B115 and it tells me it's fully up to date. AFAIK it's not locked to a network. Is there anyway to force it to b182?

Screen wake up lag

Recently when I unlock my phone using the fingerprint sensor, it lags(the screen lights up after about 2 seconds), does anyone else have the same problem?

yup, experienced it lately, no new app installed since this thingy appeared and dont have the cpu stuck bug. Yet I have the superslow mmc bug, I've heard of a batch of A1's (yes, one) mmc fail completely after one year. Considering the fact that the bug is there after a gazilion updates and even showing up on pie, I call dibs on first sign of failure of mmc, but who knows this phone is full of surprise, one thing is for sure, the phone had less bugs in the first moth after release than now ... great job xiaomi I hope the budget pixel release is near ...

Had the same symptoms. I've just rooted so had to do a factory reset and now everything's fine... Installed Trimmer app for easy fstrim and would you look at that, it trimmed 34GB. My bet is that the system just doesn't call fstrim... We'll see

Same problem it take too much time to wake up

K20 pro got freezing and black screen after upgrading

so I have a k20pro device (chinese rom, imported from china), bought it last year. I worked fine at first. However when I tried to upgrade it to MIUI 10 (chinese rom). It got freezing and blackscreen. the store said it was the screen problem and suggest screen replacement. I refused due to the high price. Then I just put the phone there until today, after 8 month I open it and upgrade to UI11 and it is working better. it still has freezing but no permanent black screen.
is that the software or hardware issue?

I have same problem did anybody fixed it yet

Guys im 90% sure its hw issue, i had touchscreen issues till i got new screen. Sometimes when i wanted to check what time is it and unlock my phone, touchscreen wasnt responding till the moment when the touchscreen was completly dead. I think many k20s has some touchscreen issues, but for the price its worth it.

It is a software issue. It started after the upgrade to MIUI 12 and it mostly happens when I use the Uber app. I usually have to restart the device. It is not a hardward issue. I think it should be solved after the next update.

Question Redmi Note 10 Pro - No sound at all - Mic doesnt work. Screen Recorder doesnt work.

My RN10Pro is experiencing a rather serious issue. I was about to open a game (Fate Grand Order), it freeze then crashed. Then no sound was playing at all on any apps (youtube, music ,etc). It also cant record audio from mic. No audio from calls. Can someone help?
Other Symptoms:
- Dolby Atmos is stuck in Toggle ON. I cant turn it off. I always left it OFF before the problem. I havent turned it on before.
- Going into sound effects in settings result in crash and error.
- Poweramp music player reports "No Audio Device"
-ALL APPS dont have any audio.
- No audio comes out even if I plug in my Earphones with a mic.
- Plugging my phone to charger doesnt create the Charge sound that it usually do.
METHODS THAT I HAVE ALREADY TRIED.
- Factory Reset - I have tried 2 factory resets already. Both didnt work
- Restarted phone multiple times - Still no sound
- Tried Safe Mode - No luck
- Cleared cache from Boot Screen. No luck
Any help pls T_T

As long as you are on seller's OS, try also to give them a call or write to them. This way you'll get both "official" assistance there and FOSS here.
If the official does not help, you may always try to unlock the bootloader and to install the same (but debloated) Miui OS or try a free one.
Hope you manage to resolve the issue. We all know how time and mind consuming are all these troubles. Good luck!

Generally speaking, which custom ROM is the most bug free or stable one? I have a feeling that this is a software/OS problem due to how the nature it occurred.

There is no one and sole answer to your question. It depends on the hardware components, on how you use your phone and even on the sequence of installations.
For example, I unlocked bootloader on my Redmi and installed CrDroid which had a very good battery run time. A couple of months later I had to reinstall the OS because after OTA update I lost root and could not regain it via usual tricks. So, clean installed the same CrDroid. And now the battery consumption is visibly higher. Why? No answer. I have to search for new tricks.
So, even if you found an OS which fits your needs, you are not guaranteed to pass next years in a small country house contemplating roses.

Hello!
Having the exact same problems. Phone became defective on its own. Never rooted or flashed. All of a sudden Adobe Audio is stuck on and no audio, no recording or playing videos and no mic function. I can only write and browse with the phone. If anyone found a solution other than a motherboard swap let me know.

Nope bro, still havent solve it. Based on some research I have done, the root cause might be a faulty mainboard. . I just reverted to using my old Samsung A50 for the meantime.

same is happening with me from yesterday

Did anyone found fix or visited service centre? Also how and when did your device having audio issues @Mattfun @Sepepe_GCL @la98kraja

Same with me...
The front cam stopped working on 1st July,
Since last 4 days (29th September), the mic and speakers are not working.
In fact, the phone doesn't even boot normally, only safe mode works.
In safe mode too, cam, mic and speakers don't work.
I took a bug report and sent to Feedback team. No response since 2 days...
How effed up am I?

Did anyone try qfil rom ?

I emailed xiaomi italy. i had bought the phone 1.5 years ago and this is obviously a factory defect. Since moving houses and everything i have lost the original box of the phone with the bill in it and i dont have proof of insurance even though xiaomi told me through emails that my imei shows that the phone is under warranty but they wont take it in without a bill from the shop i got it from. the shop now post covid has closed bcs of the general crisis Italy is in.
i believe it strongly to be a motherboard or speaker problem. a redmi note 10 pro now flies around 150-200 euros new and a motherboard costs 100 euros. i can fix it myself because i am technically able but i dont think it is worth it. i bought an iphone 11 pro max and im keeping this audioless phone that i cant do much with either until someone finds another fix for it or its battery swells and damages the frame hahahah. might work well as a tinder only phone to hide from your gfs too ahahahahha.
my phone just did the audio thing on its own. one day it was working fine then the other day:
Dolby atmos stuck on
no audio from anything
every video or app that uses audio freezes. only rear camera works but sometimes decides it doesnt want to and only for taking pictures.
reboots became instantly no joke 10 minutes long. like to the point i was worrying it was never going to boot. all this 2-3 weeks before i did my first comment on this thread.
i feel like this is a disservice. xiaomi should aknowledge this problem and maybe take back all the defective redmi note 10 pros and even if they ask me to pay extra for a redmi note 11 pro or 12 i will but take at face value what i paid for their phone already and offer me a solution. i was able to take care of it but what about people who this is their only phone and have no possibility of bying another one a snap of their fingers just because their main is broken. i always used xiaomi products. love their phones and everything and i understand this is a factory defect that might happen to 0.01% of all redmi note 10s but still own up to it as a company.

I have the same problem and when I sent it to the service they said that the motherboard needs to be changed. It's really silly. A phone should not break where it stands!
