Hi guys,
I'm on 2.1 Stock ROM, no taskkillers etc.
My homescreen is completely frozen as I type now and I can't open the apps menu (the app drawer with 3D conveyor belt effects) or slide to any other homescreen whether i lock/unlock the screen as many times i want!
On touching any homescreen icon absolutely unrelated apps are launching, eg, on touching messaging icon the stock camera launches (whose icon is on a different homescreen!)...on touching market icon...color flashlight launches (icon not on any homescreen...straight in app menu/drawer) etc etc! So cant launch maps or anything. 8 icons on homescreen and remaining space is taken by weather widget donation HTC style clock.
Wait a min...a call just came through fine and I could answer it...after hanging up I could touch all home screen icons and they were working but then suddenly my entire home screen rotated and went to landscape mode! Like all home menu icons, weather clock etc are in landscape/vertical direction and not alined/fitted to the entire screen...as in the ends of icons are cut off as the whole page looks magnified cos its obv not intended to be like that. Landscape orientation is not supported or needed on homescreens/app menu etc on the N1. Why is this happening (never came across this orientation change issues in any forums inc. xda) , why the hang?! Weird things regarding touch sensitivity and screen behaviour etc keep happening from time to time but I know about all that screen, touch sensor make and quality issues etc etc.
Also, I've noticed that everytime after a restart my phone takes atleast 20 mins to half hour plus to get everything working snappily and respond at full speed, eg, till then homescreen transitions are not smooth, all gallery pics dont load up to show for a long while (16 gig class 2 sandisk card). Is this normal?
Sometimes after switching to 3G my 3G watchdog (mobile data transfer measurement app) doesn't auto launch (app issue maybe?) and sometimes no mater how many times I choose wifi ON, it doesn't turn on! Switching it off from power control widget (i.e., 3G on) and then on again doesn't turn on wifi either even when good signal on my laptop!
Earlier today my phone was lying on the desk and it auto-restarted god knows why! The phone freeze happened like 10-11 hours after the restart today afternoon so memory etc wasn't so full or too many apps launched. The home screen rotation orientation has changed before in the past too so not first time to be clear.
I have still more than 80 mb app memory free in internal memory and dont overload my phone with crappy apps etc etc.
Pls advice and discuss.
I know you're on a stock rom now, but have you previously unlocked the bootloader and flashed anything else like recoveries, roms, etc?
If you have and you just reverted back to a stock rom, you could've downloaded a bad rom.
Have you dropped your phone? banged it around a bit?

Nope...none of those...fresh as a daisy!
Ok, well 2 options...
Option #1 - Return your phone for a new one if it's under warranty.
Option #2 - Unlock the bootloader, upgrade your recovery, flash the new radio and upgrade to a new rom like cyanogenmod. Come to the Dark Side young skywalker.

So returning or rooting are my only options??? Why does the screen rotate weirdly? Is there any explanation of what's gone wrong?!
See if its a hardware n I root then I'll cry later due to voided warranty n in UK we get a 2 year warranty.
As far as bumps or knocks are concerned...ofcourse the phone takes normal hits or once or twice falls from my laptop to my carpeted floor but that's all.
There has to be logic behind this!
strange sceen happenings...
I've had the same ghost in my machine. In addition, my nexus would lose communication with the network and the cool startup screen with the streaming x would show. I had to pull the battery to get things back to normal. Enom suggested to watch my apps, he thought maybe one had a memory leak.
I found that moving my apps to my sdcard made my phone shot my phone to the streaming x about twice a day. Since wiping and not doing this, I haven't had that problem. I also found that my fav craigslist app was causing my screen to go unresponsive. I think the craigslist app was checking it's update and monopolized the cpu. Since my wipe i havent' installed it and the phone is working better.
Last, I installed nextheme 1.8.1. It also seems to quell the errant screen happenings. The screen still has it's moments, but if i press the off button and turn the phone back on again, i have control back.
I still have problems, but i've gotten them managable. I don't think it's a hardware problem because my rom choise and app selection really affect it. If it were hardware, it would be more consisitant regardless.
Hope this helps...
So I just installed the Holics Rom yesterday and I love it! The only problem seems to be that it crashes very often. I've had to battery-pull it probably 8-10 times in the past 24 hours. It seems to happen most often when I lock the screen and then try to open it up quickly. Any one else run into this problem? Or could this be a problem with the AOSP locksreen?
Also, side question about the AOSP ICS lockscreen, is it customizable with widgets and shortcuts? It is beautiful, but I may switch back if I can't add shortcuts or get my music to pop up while locked.

Yes, I've been getting this issue on Holics pretty often during screen wake-up. I'm running 1.2 but had the same issue on 1.0 and 1.1. It will occasionally freeze when waking up with the power button. It also freezes when the screen attempts to turn back on after a call. It's very frustrating, bucause it's a very good rom, but this issue is driving me crazy.
I may have also had this issue on my stock rom with faux123 kernel. Maybe the Faux123 code is to blame. My lock screen is the ring by the way, so I don't think it's the AOSP lockscreen.
The phone never freezes randomly, it's always when the screen is waking up / trying to wake up. I have a feeling it may have to do with the single core 192 UC from the faux rom, unless the holics rom did away with that.

Do you know if devs are aware of this problem or working on it at all?
That's the only reason why I switched to DeSensed. It got annoying after a while.
I have been using 1.2 since it came out, and I have not experienced any random reboots or issues. I am using his kernel and am S-ON.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
I'm s-on and I've flashed with wcx recovery. Ive tried different methods of flashing the boot.img. Flashing it before and flashing the sd card copy afterward. I have also tried flashing either before or after. I did not select any UV. I chose the nonsense version of the install and am running apex launcher pro. I selected vram during install and disabled s2w. My CPU range is 384-1512 on setCPU, I am not running any profiles. I do use juicedefender ultimate and avast full time. I also have adaway installed. I can post a list of my other installed apps too if that would be relevant. Does any of this raise a red flag? Would the sense version of the Rom be more stable? Can anyone recommend another kernel if you believe that may be an issue? Any help would be appreciated as I do not have enough posts to state this problem in the dev forum.
Hi all
So far I've been sticking to custom N7 ports since I want to have native S-Pen support and the Pro Mode for the camera. I also am looking for one that supports Google Assistant/Screen Search. I don't use the S-Pen that often, but I'd be damned if I didn't have it.
Norma ROM was good and snappy, but its custom ROM controls overrode the Google app, and changing it in the custom controls doesn't work. It also uses the stock Note 4 camera. Disappointing it didn't port the camera.
TWIZtd was good for the single day I was able to use it. It's actually an S7 port with S-Pen features. Installing it was a pain- I was told to flash the ROM, xceed kernel, and SuperSU 2.78 sequentially- and didn't even boot the first 3 trials. By some stroke of luck it booted one time on the fourth trial. I did nothing different, and it booted quicker than I had let the other times go on. Made a backup, and continued along my way. Randomly overnight it broke Viper4Arise. Restoring from the backup and reinstalling Arise did not fix it. After a clean wipe and reflashing in the same procedure as before, it sticks on the boot screen for over 30 minutes. The only thing that could've been different is that I left it unplugged the first time it booted completely. That shouldn't affect booting, right? If anyone knows what's going on let me know please.
So yeah- I'm looking for a ROM that has:
Native S-Pen support
Pro Mode for camera
Google Screen Search and Assistant / Doesn't disable it (so not Norma)
Marshmallow
Can be N5 or N7 or whatever else.
TWIZtd seems to be the one but it just doesn't want to boot.
Thanks in advance

Have you tried TWIZtd N7 rom?
Seems once again Sony can't seem to get a stable phone. Shame as it offers so much potential with good design and great specs but failing on software again.
Constant app crashes, phone freezing,
Just goes to show you can't just chuck all the latest bits in a package and think it will work.
Going to have to return this unless there is a sudden fix in the next few days as I only have a 14 day change or mind.
That hasn't been my experience at all. I got the US phone and flashed the UK firmware. I haven't had any issues whatsoever. You should try a factory reset before returning the phone.
I have it for 2 weeks now, no freeze or reboots whatsoever... European Firmware here...
My phone was purchased from O2 in the UK. Don't think there is much bloat on there so don't think it's O2 that's screwed it up.
Phone is completely standard with just a handful of apps on it.
So far I have had numerous '' email has stopped working' to Google stopped working to music not working errors.
OK Google seems to hardly ever work. Almost seems like it can't hear the hot word.
I also think that many of the push services are being put to sleep which is why the battery life is so could as I often don't get notifications until I wake the phone yet the same accounts on my old s3 always come through first.
So far had one update come out for the phone. Don't know if it's the latest firmware though.
I can totally not agree with you.
Well I guess all I can do is try reset then but it's such a pain in the ar#e putting all your info back in again.

Does the launcher you use rebuild your home screens after a reset? I still use Google Now Launcher, and after a reset, when I reinstall GNL, everything is put back in its proper place, even web browser page links.
I am using the US firmware, and have not experienced any of the problems you mention. You may have a defective unit. Then again, if you're not happy with the phone for other reasons (and there certainly are things that could be better), you certainly don't want to wait past the return date!
I'm running the UK firmware with the US OEM file to have Volte and fingerprint sensor on T-Mobile and has been rock solid since day one. I would reset.
Have reset the phone and just setting it back up.
Will see how it goes over the next few days.
One thing I did think that was odd previously when it was playing up was when it would crash and reset itself was that when it started up it was on the Google keyboard set up screen. I had installed the Google keyboard as I preferred it to SwiftKey. Maybe the issues were linked to that somehow.
Wow too many errors there... Probably a faulty unit... Or maybe u should do a software repair with Sony pc companion
Don't forget it runs Android Orea 8.0 by means a lot of third party apps may not fully compatible at this moment, consider not many phones running Oreo hence the app developers are not in hurry to tweak their app to run smooth in Oreo. That's what causes the occasional app crashes I believe.
OK so after the full reset and initial impressions are good. Seems smooth with no crashes. I'm back running nova launcher (previously instilled this as thought it might be linked) ive also not installed Google keyboard yet and giving SwiftKey a go.
Only issue that really remains is the one with the ambient sensor. Find my self having to switch the adaptive brightness off at night when using the phone as it jumps around. Need to then switch it back in on the day where it seems fine. Hopefully a fix comes for this soon.

On reddit someone write that he downloaded LUX https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vitocassisi.luxlite and everything was working much much better. Maybe later i will find the post. (https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyXperia/)
No single reboot or app crash for me.
The only thing that crashes on me on occasion is Google Photos, other than that, rock solid so far.
Just had an a 3rd party app crash but as someone mentioned above it might be because the developer has not updated yet for oreo???
Other than that been much better so far

Same for me. 3 weeks i have got it 100% stable.:good:
Uhm ok I guess now it's my turn.
Today the "touch" went crazy. 2 times. Like for example keeping pressing recent button ? will result in multiple touches. Basically every touch is not a "pressing" touch. So I can't do swiping or other keep pressing relative touching. First time happened, a reboot fixed. Second time nothing worked. I have to SHUT DOWN THE PHONE AND WAIT A LITTLE BIT, then turn it on and everything was OK...
Is it just me?
P.s. UPDATE: I tried everything, safe mode, total reset, even software repair through PC companion...nothing. Its obviously a hardware problem, not software related. I returned this morning to assistance. They should give it back to me within a week...
My first week with XZ1C, 100% working, perfect, no reboot or other problems. One of the best phones I ever bought...
Phone's stable, no software/hardware issues. Working away reliably, battery consistently giving me expected results (ending day with 25%-50%, depending on use), connectivity perfect, performance smooth as butter.
Hey, i finally got my Oneplus 7T Pro and i decided to root my Note 9 after that, so that i have a device non rooted for diffrent reasons for saftey. But im facing a weird Problem. Im on root since my S5, so i guess i know what to do. But after i flashed Alexanders Rom, my whole UI is lagging like my display has only 30 Hz. After that, i tried to go back to totaly stock Rom from Sammobile. That worked fine, but i dont get the lagg away.
Dont know what else to do.. i wiped my Cache also after Stock Rom installation. I bootet in Safemode etc. I figured out that the lagg appears ~10 Sec after UI boot, short before the vibration feedback that the device is ready booted. So i guess something is wrong. If i switch in Devopotions the toggle, to render the Display via GPU only, things gettingt minimal better with lagg. Not so perfect like before but a bit better. So i guess it can maybe be something with the Displaydriver or similar ??!
ATM on actual December FW CSK2. My Device is German DBT unbranded. Maybe someone knows more about it. Anyway, the Device is fully functional, i can live with this lagging ui cause its not more my daylie driver. But would be nice, if i can fix this somehow.
*edit* i dont installed any custom Kernel or similar. Just alexanders rom, so i done no oc or else with this device.
