Hello Friends,,,I have Motorola Defy+ running CM11 24-08 build, actually from some days my phone is behaving very weird, when I wake up phone from sleep mode the screen is continuously flickering/blinking, it stops automatically after 3-4 mins of phone use, I mean screen is on for a while.
the biggest problem faced by phone is in the morning after waking up from long time sleep mode, in morning I cant even unlock the phone, black and white strips are appearing on screen but after 10-15 mins its working normally,,,does anyone faced this type of problem ???
I'm using CM11 from quarx too here on my defy. I've not experienced the issues described by you yet. That's why I fear this is a hardware issue.
You can roule this out by flashing the rom again while wiping data (make a backup first of cause ). If the issues persist then it is in all likelihood the phone's hardware which is defective (mainboard, or display cable for example). If a clean install fixes the issue then I would recommend using Titanium Backup to backup your apps and then restore them after a clean flash one at a time until you find the one which causes the behaviour.
Hope this helps.
Thanks @MP1_ bro I have tried everything,,, but problem still not solved yet,,, flashed SBF, stayed a whole day on SBF but screen flickering still there,,, I am not understanding these problem,,, if it's hardware related then why after using phone for a while it works normally,,, but waking up from sleep mode the screen flickering again continue for a some minutes

Such a behavior is not all that unusual for a hardware defect. When you got a defective soldering for example it can work like a charm when the phone is heating up due to usage (the material expands to close the cracks in the connectors). Unfortunately this does not really help you in locating/isolating the defective part of the phone.
@MP1_ bro then what's the solution ?
My phone is 3 n half year old,,, didn't even have any problem in these years,,, but I change USB wall chargers too many times,,, so does it affect battery? have Just a doubt on battery

I'm afraid there won't be an easy solution Don't worry about the battery - changing chargers is no problem, I doubt the display flickering issue has an negative effect on battery life.
Ideally you would have a spare defy from which you could borrow parts in order to isolate the defective part in your phone. It could be the display illumination, the display itself, the display cable or some problem with the power supply on the mainboard of the phone. Apart from the dispay cable all of these parts aren't cheap.
Yes I have searched it on Google that original defy screen is of $33
But I am afraid to give my phone to service center,,,coz here in India they are not trustable,,, they will surly fool me

Anyone noticing random crashes with the g2 cm7? Atleast once a week when I take it out of my pocket it doesn't power on and requires a battery pull to turn it on. (No lights, nothing)
Battery voltage issue?
Different people have been having different issues. What nightly/RC are you on? did you do a full data/cache/dalvik wipe before flashing the ROM? did you try fixing permissions?
Yup, I know there are some issues but it seems strange that the whole phone goes into a stale state which requires a battery pull. I believe its happened once or twice with cm6 as well.
I have done all the wipes and fixes etc. I am right now on nightly #15, I previously was on nightly #7 for a long time so maybe it was just that release. Thanks for your reply.
Haven't had one random reboot. Still using nightly 6. My mytouch4g has not had this problem either.

Are you overclocked?
Sent from my %s running Cyanogenmod.
Only to 1Ghz.
Today it died while charging, dead and needed a battery pull. Any ideas?
You're not the only one with this issue (myself included), and the cause is not yet known. And it seems there may be a couple different variations of this issue with the same symptom (of the phone powering off while asleep and needing a battery pull to power back on). May be related to overclock, GPS, screen-off profiles, full moon, or who knows what. See this thread for some various thoughts on the problem.

I personally think its a kernel issue, or that the kernel is at least one of the factors. I flashed pershoot's kernel and the problem seems to be solved, so far (keeping my fingers crossed). Having the GPS on while you turn of the screen also seems to be a common trigger for many who experience this problem.
Hi there,
Thank you so much for your reply! I couldn't seem to find any information on the forum.
I just wrote a post because I had the same thing happen to me. Phone just went dead for ni reason and I had to pull out the battery. But my phone isn't rooted. So it might not be because of CM7.
Tried to call Bell, but the wait time was too long. So will try to call them when I get home.

There are at least two other threads about this on XDA and quite a few others on the net.
Google HTC phone freeze random crash reboot battery pull or some combo.
No solutions and it happens on stock phones as well as rooted.
Did you search?
Having the same problem recently on my unlocked Desire Z from Bell, using on the Rogers network. It started yesterday and all of a sudden it turns off, and the only way to turn it on is removing the battery and putting it back in. This never was an issue for months. The only thing I updated from that affects the hardware is the new Google Maps, so I think GPS may be the case. But I really need GPS on my phone...
Yesterday I did an experiment with GPS. For me GPS is the case that makes my phone to freeze. With new Google maps it freezes even faster, more often.

Hi all,
I've used the phone for about six weeks and now it starts to act strangely. Since yesterday it keeps entering car mode sporadically and stars the voice recognition app. A minute ago, it even displayed that it was being charged, even though the charger was not plugged in.
I guess this behaviour us due to dirt in the micro USB jack that has accumulated while carrying the device in my pocket. Possibly, dust particles bridge some of the USB pins and trigger the described functions.
I will try to clean the USB jack and report back. Blowing air over the contacts from my mouth was not sufficient, though.
Has anyone of you experienced such symptoms on your device?
If I can't fix this issue myself, I think I'll have the phone exchanged. Hope, that dust will also reset the custom binary counter, then...
For the record: I'm on Villain Rom 1.4 with CF-Root kernel XKF1.
Greetings
Yeh car mode came on with me after installing villain 1.4
I had other issues also like gmail force closing etc... 1.3 was fine but 1.4 made my phone go a bit cuckoo.
I'm on cognition now but I'll be back on villain at 1.5

So a software problem it is... Couldn't google anything about it. Well, I flashed a stock backup KE2+KF2 CF-Kernel and so far my device behaves as it should. No car mode. I really hope it was a software bug. But it looked so much like a hardware fault...
Not sure if its the same case, but sometimes when I answer calls my phoes goes into loud speaker mode on its own... its annoying.
I had the same problem, but it it resolved itself after a few days. Maybe it is some dirt behind the home button.
It's there again! This time on Darky Rom 2 R1.
Same here. Stock SGS2 KG2 rom. Anyone found a fix for this ?
Had my phone since launch and it started to do this a couple of days ago and also draining the battery within 4 or 5 hours because the cpu was in constant use. Also i couldnt turn the phone off, it would just reboot and wouldnt charge. I had the same theory about the usb jack but didnt seem to make any difference. I did a hard reset but the problem was still there, strangely the phone appears to have sorted itself out not and is running fine!

Hello everyone,
I would like to know how many of you are experiencing the different kinds of SOD on the Nexus 4.
I found few references to the SOD issue, but no one could tell exactly why this is happening.
Some say it's a software issue (some say it only started to occur at JB)...
Some say it's an hardware issue.. some of them RMAed, and got a new phone with exactly the same SOD issue.
I would like to dedicate this thread to this problem and see how many other Nexus 4 users are experiencing this SOD.

Never had one so far. Running stock 4.2.2/Franco kernel nightly_110
-Edit- currently undervolted -75 mV.
just stop messing your phone up with stupid OCing and benchmarks... This issues are installed to protect the hardware from crashing... ( Red light of death... )
My phone just fine. never had this SOD.
Never had an issue on this device. On my old phone, dropping the min CPU speed too low would cause it a LOT.

You don't have an option for unable to turn on phone without a reset: no blinking led. This is also a scenerio.
Please take a look here! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195278
I've tried almost everything (wipe& re wipe , install stock ) and nothing seem to solve it.... most frustatin thing is when I hit "home" after playing heavly and ...bamm it goes black screen & hav to reboot pressin home&vol+
Are you using a custom kernel to undervolt? That can cause SOD.

Im using it now (customROM&UV) since it doesnt affect my issue.... I tried completly stock for 2 days and keep crashin... or at least on g.earth as I didnt install any app/game to be sure its not an app related issue.
Cant figure out what happens, it can play games w/o any issue, but sometimes when I change orientation it just goes black
PD: I dont hav enough time, but ill do a logcat to see what can possibily make it freeze
My case is not listed in the poll options:
- the phone went into standy, good battery, no calls, no high loads;
- LED was inactive totally.
- then I was unable to turn it on normally (only through reboot).
While in this state, trying to call the phone resulted in "long" tones, i.e., like the network saw the phone. The phone did not ring.
This happens with the latest stock firmware on the 2nd day of my use. Non-reproducible. Phone returned.
Would be delighted to learn if that's a hardware or software issue
Not necessarily SOD but experienced extreme battery drain under these situations
1- Charging via USB and left phone connected after PC shut down.
2- Charging via Wireless Charger left it on the pod.
In 1st ASA pc is shut down
and
In 2nd ASA Phone charged completely , as I suspect the charging process goes backwards ! It someone drain current from your battery to the power source.
AFAIK none of these issue are positive with normal good old AC charging. However you can still use a workaround by using the app called "Safe Charge"
This is my experience
Hi everyone
Recently I've been having problems with the USB connection.
I was on the stock rooted ROM, and I plugged in the phone and it came up with a message USB device not recognised because it malfunctioned. Tried different ports, cables and different computers, same thing.
Then I changed this morning to the Nexus 5 experience ROM. It worked initially. Now the problem has come back. However occasionally it does work and the windows explorer window pops up, but then after a second or two it goes away and the error message reappears.
What could be causing this?
It was fine a while ago.
Also, when it doesnt work, the battery settings thinks its charging on AC and not USB.
Sounds like it's a hardware issue

Absolutely, it worked for a little while and then didn't. Try flashing the factory image and see if it's still there. I don't think it's a software issue
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
OK I will try that.
The only new thing I've been using with it is a new car charger. It works perfectly fine, but if it was giving slightly too much or too little voltage could it have caused this?

I doubt it. There's built in circuitry that would take care of voltage or current fluctuations

Just a quick update. I smashed the screen a few weeks ago so I had to replace it. When I finished replacing the screen this also started working lol dunno what happened there.
Bit of an annoying problem, my Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 (Rooted) constantly restarts at random now and again, and it can be very frustrating.
Also, I have the app 'App Master', which when the phone is restarted it shows the boot up time. When my phone randomly restarts, the boot up time could literally say it took hours (It's went as high as 40 hours... not sure if this is relevant or will help but yea...)
Also I get logged out of everything (facebook, twitter...) whenever my phone restarts which is very annoying.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

See if the same happens in download mode too.
If yes..you have a stuck power button.
If no, have you removed all the knox related apps? they cause this too. Deknox your phone.
If still persists, data wipe or flash stock rom..disable knox first via recovery..then proceed with normal rooting..

Yeah. Knox is the culprit then.
Check the i9505 rooting methods and if any deknox script is there.
Or simply if you are rooted..install the "system app uninstaller" app from the play store..(a red recycle bin logo app) and delete all knox content.
Bdw you wont be able to use knox anyway if you have a knox trigger

Screen not being usable is the issue of the charger. Try changing the data cable.
Restarting issue could've been linked to a partial stuck power button or maybe because of an improper way of flashing or improper way of flashing kernels
Bdw did you change it or get it changed.?

Ohh.
Now it is kinda certain that the way you changed or got the charging jack changed has a problem.
Try reassembling the charging port
This can be of great help.

Hello, it's a weird case.
Try to download the latest firmware available and update through Odin, then install a custom ROM (to fast de-Knox). Install CM11 M9 and leave original kernel, let your battery discharge until power off, connect to the charger and power on. Don't use it, see if charger more than 80% without reboots
