[Q] DX Touch Screen Stops Responding

The touch screen on my DX stops responding several times a day. It very random, it can be during a text, answering a call, etc. If I lock and unlock the screen, its back to normal. Its running the OTA 2.3.340 and is rooted, but this started prior to rooting. The "tech" at VZW said to do a factory reset but I'd rather not have to re-setup everything. Anyone else have this problem and have you found a fix? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

I have this exact same problem

Are you using a rom? It happens to me every once in a while, maybe every other day or so, sometimes twice in a day. I thought it might be the rom I'm using. I'm on liberty but everything else works fine for me so I was just waiting it out till they get version 1.5 released.

No other ROM, it is stock other than rooting and removing a few bloatware packages. It did this before removing any of that though.

My phone just started doing this recently as well. I think a program running in the background might be at fault. I'm still trying to find out which one

It happens to me while trying to use lock screen... I'm on apex and it always happened while using apex and on liberty until i switched to the rotary lock slide

Same issue here.I think this is a documented bug, and I haven't seen anyone post a fix for it anywhere

[Q] Phone shutting off randomly

Have had my nexus 4 for 2-3 weeks and it has shutdown on me 2 times so far. Both occasions the phone was untouched and was shut off without me knowing, how long and when I have no clue but on power up my wallpaper is reset to default. I don't notice anything else besides that being changed. Anyone have a clue to a fix?

What ROM u have? I'm having same issues. I'm using Xylon. I'm bout to flash Franco #28 kernel and see if it helps.
U should try flashing a new kernel too.

bone stock. haven't done anything to it.

I also get something similar. It happens when I lock my screen. Once the screen goes off, it sometimes won't come back on until I restart my phone by holding down the power button till it's off, and then booting it. I'm not sure about my wallpaper changing, but it has happened on every rom I've used. Also, It didn't happen on stock, but I don't think I was even on stock for a week.

This never happened when I had stock...it started happening when I flashed the ROM. Hope Franco's Kernel helps.

this happens to me from time-to-time. It's not a hardware issue, it think it's a glitch with this version of the os.

Well, I called and got an RMA. Seems like a known issue as well as a battery life issue some others seem to be having. Maybe they are connected in some way. Rep said this new batch they are sending out (RMA's) do not have these issues. I hope so...

Put me down as someone having this issue, Happen 3 time now, On stock rooted os.

I read that Google have confirmed there is an issue with the latest OS that can result in random reboots. I think it has to do with location services.
I also read that turning off any options for emergency broadcasts can help with random reboots.
Some widgets that use weather can result in reboots (due to them using location services to get correct weather), and since I disabled all emergency broadcasts and stopped using widgets that show weather, I have not had a random reboot (and I was having at least one every two days before). I am still using widgets that have the ability to show weather, but I just do not show weather and this seems to help.
Random reboots was causing a major battery drain for me and since I stopped getting these reboots, my battery lasts much longer.
I am on stock ROM, rooted.

[Q] Does anyone have a power button bug?

I am current using PA mar11 build with franco r102 kernel.
I have issues bringing the menu up when you hold the power button. My power button is not broken, because after a restart (using power toggles) it works again.
Happens randomly. I have searched the forums and have not seen anyone mention this, has anyone else experience this?
Update: Do a fresh wipe, problem will go away

What issues do you have exactly? I mean, what exactly do you see when you long-press your power button?

after a long-press no menu comes out and my screen turns off like I pressed it normally.

I have the exact same problem, except that my nexus 4 isn't rooted and I can't use toggle buttons to restart. So basically I cannot restart my phone unless i let the battery running out or i reset the phone.

Weird... I just got this too... restart and it's working again... but for how long.... and I never would have noticed if I wasn't trying to take a screenshot!

I have exactly the same problem running slimrom 6.5 and anarkia kernel.
After a reboot the reboot menu always comes up. After a while it doesn't work anymore. Turning on/off the screen always works, the problem only affects long press.
Has anyone a sultuion for that?

Did anyone find a solution to this problem?
My Nexus 4 is now having this same issue

I thought I was the only one! It happened after a bit of rain with my phone in the pocket and I thought that was the cause but after holding it down and seeing it reset I see that it is not. Wonder why this is happening.
Note: I am running completely stock 4.3 at the moment with a locked bootloader, but this has also happened on 4.2.

I got this issue with franco kernel. putting back the original kernel fixed the issue for me. I was able to reproduce the problem with another nexus 4 phone. there's maybe a config to tweak or i'm messing something up.

Exactly same problem.. But a long press of the button for about ten to fifteen shuts down the phone in my case.. Stock 4.3 no root

I no longer have this issue. The fix: fresh wipe

Screen turns randomly off for about 0.1 sec?

Hey all,
I recently noticed that the screen of my i9505 turns off randomly once or twice a day (6h screen on time) for about 0.1 sec. It turns back on automatically. It happens randomly, when I'm texting or using Facebook or whatever. Does anyone knows what this is and why it happens?
Greetz,

Anyone?

If you are using any custom roms then I would suggest to make
a nandroid backup in recovery mode before doing anything else.
After you created a backup Odin flash the stock original firmware
for your phone which can be downloaded from SamMobile.com.
If the phone still blinks on/off randomly then you will know that the
problem is not software related, but some kind of glitch in the phone.
If doing the above solves your problem, then just flash a different and
better custom rom which is designed for your specific phone model......
Good luck.

I have the same problem. Sometimes when I am reading a book the screen turn off randomly. I have original rom and I have never put another one. Anyone knows how to solve it?

Same here! Stock 4.3 ROM, rooted. It just happens once or twice a day. It isn't really annoying or something, it's just that I'm scared that it is part of a bigger problem that will cause my screen to die later.
I've installed a xposed framework exploit yesterdayafternoon, didn't noticed the screen blinking again. It turns off the s-cover view (mode, whatever it's called). Let's hope this will solve the problem, cause my knox warranty is 0x1.....
edit: here's a link to the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2346579 I don't know if it's the same problem as we have, since we have a 9505, but it's worth trying.
If anyone has any other ideas, please let me know!

The screen just turned off for about for 0.3 sec again. So this is not the solution.. anyone?

Freezing

My S8+ has randomly froze a handful of times so far. Every time its done so the screen has been on and nothing will turn it off or reboot it. The only way to get it to work again is if I put a headphone jack into the port. Then it will unfreeze and starts playing catch up with all the buttons I hit while trying to get it to work again.
Anyone else ran into this or know what may be causing it? Phone is bone stock AT&T fully updated.

I am having the same exact problem today.

I figured I wasn't the only one. Just a weird issue. Never had anything like this before.
