[Q] Arrow rom and issue with losing sound. - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

XDA search is currently down, so finding it quite difficult to see if this issue has occurred before and has been resolved.
Anyways, I'm currently running v11 of Arrow Rom, and I have noticed that if i am using my phone, sound is working as expected. but when I have been charging the phone via USB through computer, the sound stops working (this includes calls, music, key touches, everything). Rebooting, turning off and taking out battery doesn't always seems to resolve the issue. It will just randomly decide to start working again after a random reboot or power up.
Is there possibly a setting that I have turned on (or off) or is an apk causing this issue?
Any suggestions or advice on steps to help diagnose the issue would be greatly appreciated.

[Q] Dialer menu not working in car mode

I'm having an odd problem, and wanted to see if anyone has experienced it.
My Evo was replaced by Sprint when it started randomly rebooting multiple times a day. The problem I am having never happened on the old phone, although given the nature of it, it seems odd to be a hardware defect.
Basically, whenever you engage Car Mode, either by running the car dock app manually, or by dropping the phone into the dock, the menu button stops working on the dialer screen.
By dialer screen, I mean both the dialer and the in-call screen, which I believe are part of the same apk. If you hit the Evo's Menu button, it vibrates as usual, but the menu does not appear. If I pull it from the dock or exit car mode, it reonsumes working as usual. It does not affect the menu button on any other application.
I have tried re-flashing rooted stock, flashing MikG GB Sense, Swagged out Stock. I have repeatedly wiped everything before and after flashes. I test it each time without installing anything else, so it's not caused by apps I've installed, unless the wipe process has left something laying around that will not go away.
I have googled the web, as well as searching this site. I can't find anyone else who has reported this issue.
Has anyone seen this, or have any ideas on solving it?
I'll add that I tried flashing a rooted stock, and then taking my SD card out, just to make sure there was nothing loading from the SD card. Same issue with the menu button.

N7 stuck/won't wake up

Hey guys,
I did some searching around the web regarding the issue with my N7 and couldn't find anything, so my apologizes if this has been asked before.
The issue I am having is, when my N7 has been sleeping for a while, (on or off charger) it will get "stuck". It won't wake up when I push the power button (or at least the screen won't illuminate). I can hard reset it by holding power+volup+voldown but that gets kinda irritating when I just want to quickly use it and put it away.
It doesn't appear to be causing a battery drain, it's almost like it's a sleep and just won't wake up. I am currently using CNA 3.6.6 with the latest franco kernel. I do not have a case at the moment (it's in the mail). I will be attempting a different ROM tonight to see if it retains the problem.
I have a Galaxy Nexus and sometimes it will fail to accept touch input, but the power/volume buttons have always still worked.
Any ideas?
EDIT: Can't find the delete button, but found a similar posting here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32819135#post32819135
Try disabling auto-brightness and see if that stops the problem recurring.
Sent from my Nexus 7
Thanks
I saw that in the previous post, it appears to have worked. Any idea if there is as fix in the works?

[Q] Rooted S4 Randomly Reboots, Any Ideas?

I have searched most of all of the threads related to random reboot in the Q&A section, none of the suggestions have helped.
My phone recently (past month or so) has started rebooting on its own. No common factor among the reboots either. Sometimes it would happen while playing a game, sometimes while listening to music, sometimes when it wasn't in use, sometimes when receiving or sending a text. Each reboot is accompanied by a drop in battery charge shown in the battery settings (the battery charge jumps back to it's previous level. It happens regardless of the battery (used 3 different ones). I am using Negalite WondeROM NG2, with accompanying kernel. No overclock/undervolting. When it shuts off it sometimes just instantly turns off and back on, other times it stays off for a while and boots up on its own, and other times it stays off until I turn it back on. I have 3 logcats, and no common factors immediately prior to shut off. 2/3 of them show fatal errors pertaining to libc, but not immediately prior to shutdown. I can upload them somewhere if they are needed, however I don't see a common factor among them to indicate what the problem is. The problem seems to be getting more frequent as time goes on, too. I'm backing up all user apps via Titanium as I type this.
TL;DR phone reboots randomly, no prominent common factors among reboots, logcats don't provide any clues to me (I'm no expert though). Anyone have any suggestions?
Update in case anyone has the same problem: I wiped cache and Dalvik cache, did a factory reset, then upgraded to negalite wonderom v3. After enabling the xposed mod smooth progress bars, I noticed a problem with my install button as i was restoring apps from titanium backup (I couldn't press the install button). After disabling, this problem went away. My guess is the problem was I was using v1, or it was that specific xposed mod, or a combo of both since I have had 0 problems since then. Anyway, it appears that the problem is solved.
Edit: I also switched from Nega's ng2 kernel to the stock one. That might have an effect too

multiple issues on rooted vs995

Hello everyone. long time lurker first time poster,
I've had my V20 since the beginning of July, I rooted it the first week. It had been running great (stock rom) until the last 2 weeks. The first thing that i noticed was that my Google Chrome and Play store were missing from my home screen. I checked the app drawer, nothing, then went to the application manager, still could not be found. Did some quick research and found nothing helpful. I eventually went through a "battery saving" app like greenify or wakelock (I can't remember) and found the application data. I was thankfully able to go to the play store through said app and open them, which placed them back into view in my app drawer. This was a strange occurrence but brushed it off as nothing.
Fast forward to this week and more issues are arising. More apps are randomly vanishing, I only noticed because one particular app I use to disable annoying services was gone and the stock settings came back. After getting that back to block the services my phone has become very laggy. still functioning just slow at times. I also get a random vibration with no notification or prompt showing on screen. This only happens when the phone is awake. It is not a full vibration just a quick buzz, similar to a single key press with haptic feedback turned on. This happens while nothing is visably taking place on screen and no input from me. I have checked all settings I can think of, but still am stumped. The last issue is with my mobile connectivity, at random times my 4G will have no connection. I thought it was just bad reception because wifi was working fine. I confirmed it is just 4g because while i was in a small area with blocked signal it dropped to 3g and worked fine, but as soon as it switched back to 4g boom no connection. I have tried rebooting several times when these issues occurred, toggled many settings and even uninstalled several apps I thought could cause problems. I am having no luck and cannot find any common problems through my research.
TL;DR
- rooted v20 running stock rom
-random apps being removed but still installed
-4G connection issues
-random <100ms vibration
-times of bad lag
short of flashing back to original any thoughts or ideas will be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance
Factory reset to start.
Pull battery. Replace.
Hold vol down.
Press power.
HOLD powerbutton.
When LG logo shows, let go of powerbutton 1x.
ONLY 1X needed.
Re depress power, stat.
Select yes 2x.
Boots into TWRP. Factory reset.
If aboce doesnt work wipe all but external sd
Reinstall preferred ROM.
profit?

Screen issues

Hello folks, I'm having annoying issue with the screen so wondering if anyone can try to help me or has encountered similar issue.
The issue is that the screen wakes up randomly without touching it, as the power button was pressed (without notification). This started after updating to april rom.
Here is what I have done so far: turning off/on ambient display, turning off/on adaptive brightness, remove sd card/sim card, returning to march update doesn't resolve this, factory reset, flashing the latest stock 8.1 beta rom...
Interesting thing is that the issue is NOT happening when booted to safe mod, which makes me believe that this isn't hardware failure ? Or am I wrong ? Anyone with an idea how can I try to resolve this ?
Application can cause wakelocks - wake phone's CPU to do its work or just turn on screen. Especially 3rd party apps from Google Play cause this, maybe there is an app causing your phone to turn on. Use BetterBatteryStats (with ADB commands) to see which apps wake your phone.
