Hello,
I have Zuk Z1 and I have not tweaked it in any way. I have it from past 6 months but from past few days I am having issue with drop down menu. It doesn't drop!
I googled and first solution was that maybe sensor is not working but using it horizontally or from any other way, it was working. So I ruled that out
Secondly it was to install the 3rd party launcher, so I installed CM launcher and the drop down started to work after 15 minutes of use. The drop down menu started to work fine in the launcher so I used it for a day and the next day when I removed the launcher phone drop down menu was working fine again.
But after 1 and a half day use, same issue happened and now I am again using CM Launcher:crying:
Can anyone please help me with this issue that what it is and how it can be permanently resolved?
Your help in this matter would be much appreciated
It is sad to see that no replies came. I researched again and there was an option to root and install custom rom, which I did but the problem is still there. I think its an hardware issue
But custom rom (Dirty Unicorn which I did) is surely amazing. I was wondering, why the hell I didn't root my phone earlier!
So again, if anyone comes up with a solution of drop down menu, issue, please let me know. If it is a software fix, so I can do it
Could you please share a screenshot of what exactly you are referring to in the sense drop down menu..?

So basically, my hd2 is not running smooth at all. Every time i do a rom update and then restore my contacts/messages/settings it keeps getting frozen and unresponsive. So I have to restart the device, but I don't know why it should be restarted anyway, isn't is kind of super fast?!?! So, now, when I recently updated my ROM, the device is so damn slow, that even after typing my PIN it takes a minute to launch htc sense and everything. When I'm moving through the tabs it's so damn laggy i can't stand it. . Is anyone else experiencing this????
To be honest, and I'm no expert, it sounds like you have some serious phone problems, probably out of your control. Not to sound like a pessimist but given how everyone else seems to be ok with the HD2, could be either a major rom/radio problem or hardware failure??
I've updated my hd2 using the official rom from HTC and, apart from the occasional lag i get from WinMo, my device runs sweet as a a proverbial nut. Especially as I have run the tweaks suggested by the forums here.
Given that you have said that you've upgraded the ROM and it's made no difference, the only thing i could suggest is possibly send it back under warranty?
Obviously, I'd wait and see if someone with more know-how has a better explanation, i'm merely giving you my POV.
Hope you get this sorted ASAP. A properly working HD2 is a marvellous thing.
All the best
To the OP,
There could be so many causes for your problems. I would start as follows:
- Take your SD card out and see if the phone boots and is not laggy with the card out
- If this does not work take a look at the SMS threads on here and see if the solutions there help you
- If no joy then read the Hints @ Tips thread on here, if you have not already done so, and pickup on the cache move tips, using the task manager to close open files, etc
- I that fails look for the thread "HD2 Died - or did it" and implement the solutions in there
- If that does not help and you have been flashing a fair few roms then hop over to the MTTY thread in rom development and see if that helps.
Plenty to be getting on with.
Hope you get it sorted.

My power up to sense loaded time = 55 secs.
Any different?
thanks for this quick reply. I am using Energy Leo ROM, but I don't think this could be the problem, or is it? Because I have performed a hard-reset now and it's running quite smooth again.. But the question is for how long.
Two questions I have now:
-does it happen to anyone, when you try to wake up the phone, screen doesn't wake up, only the keys in the bottom start to glow? It happened to me from time to time
-does anyone else experience missed key taps? When I tap something from time to time it just doesn't get recognized so I have to "retap" it...

I have experienced question 1 and 2.. however not alot or not frequent.. I tend to think that this is just a computer and computers do crash depending on whats going on.. The missed screen taps only happens once or twice when its playing up. I do have a screen protector on though so whether the dust, oil or screen protector is causing that is a different story, but isnt a big problem for me to remove the screen protector to find out.
so, the latest problem.. my hd2 had been running for ~16 hours without any problem now, but in last 10 minutes i had to restart it twice, because the screen stopped responding after i wanted to type new sms in a conversation (first time) and after i had a pop-up message about new sms (second time). As said before, I'm using energy rom, latest issue (17.2.). Could the problem be, in fact connected with this rom or specifically with sms software?
using cooked roms you can generally expect a few lockups and restarts.
Also, the screen not powering up, just the hard keys backlight is an issue across the board, from custom roms to official roms. Some roms seem to do it, some don't, but one that doesn't do it to me might well do it to you.

It has been mentioned before that if you have a large number of texts stored, it will take a while for it to allow you to reply to a text. (It has to go through the database, check for the texts sent by the user, then arrange them alongside the ones sent to them by you, then put them in chronological order, then display them, this takes time)
but i would presume the device should be working anyway (but slower, of course) and not flashing the display and being "frozen" ?
The frozen issue with texts is all in the SMS thread I pointed you to earlier. Solutions to the phone freezing are in the HD2 Died thread, again as I pointed out earlier.
How many of these potential solutions have you tried? Tryy these things first then come back if they don't work rather than make assumptions about your ROM.

after 3 months i still have the issue with missed strokes.. even after the latest energy rom update :\
anyone?
Hey,
I have a major problem for a couple of weeks now. My phone just keeps waking up randomly and turns the screen on by itself. I have root and s-off and tried out a few roms. Sense Roms as well as MIUI roms... It does not make a difference at all, so I guess it can't be rom related. I have read a few more posts on the web of users having a similar problem but there was no solution given anywhere.
Also, my speaker automatically turns on when I receive or make a call. These two problems seem interconnected since there is at least one person on xda having exactly the same two issues...
Does anybody have an idea or a solution for this? I would be thankful for any kind of help! Thank you in advance!!!
I've a similar problem a bunch of months ago, my phone turn on automatically, without no logic. I've resolved the problem pulling out the battery for a night, after that the problem disappeared.
I hope that will help you to resolve your problem,
Rodomar705
Thanks, I will try that out tonight and report!
Ok, I tried it out last night, but it did not work
Does anybody have a different idea?

Did you check the date and time once you'd insert battery inside DHD? I think to solve the problem that way, you should leave DHD without battery until the internal battery will be totally discharged. It takes approx. 12-14 hours, and you can be sure only if turning on DHD you'll find time and date set to 12:00am, 1st jan 1980 (or something like that).
Yeah, it definately worked though, time was resetted as well. I turned it in today, hope to be able to pick it up next week. Before, I ran the Ruu to set it back to shipping condition... It still had the same error, so it is definately not rom related...
It is a huge drag without it... Already feeling uncomfortable ^^

Sorry mate!! Just wait for a week, ist not so long time, and you'll get back your phone as new as when you bought first time!! Hope this makes you feel a little bit of joy!!
Ok, I have gotten my phone back on thursday (after one week)...
SO far so good, everything worked again, they even set the proximity sensor right again... Then I rerooted it and put another MIUI on it...
On friday then, I put Vipermod back in and undervolted it by 50 mA... BOOM, the issue came back, I couldn't remove it, so I took the battery out and waited for 12 hours, as you suggested... and it worked... Issue was gone... Then I ran vipermod again and BOOM the issue was there again... It didn't even help to set the mA values back to normal, I had to reset it again by taking out the battery for 12 hours.
So my conclusion is that this issue is directly related to the actual USE (not just the installation) of vipermod... Can anyone confirm? Don't want to put out false information in the vipermod thread without having others to confirm...
need help also

If changing the ROM didn't help then it is an app issue. One of your apps is causing it. Time to look deeper
I have exactly the same issue! Also with the speaker sometimes. Really annoying. If an app is causing it, how can we find out which one? I'm using ARHD 6.1.0, but I've had the issue with older versions of the ROM too (with the same apps installed).

Only way to find out is to test them one by one by reinstalling them one at a time
Hi,
I have seen this bug mentioned a couple of times in the development section, but haven't seen any solution
I experienced it a couple of times already and the only way to "fix" the issue is to reinstall the ROM
After about a week of normal use, the circular battery gadget disappears and I am left with the battery percentage alone. After that, any reboot would erase my Google account settings from the phone, the lock screen would be gone and the home button would stop working
I did *not* touch with the settings (I saw Wolfbreak claiming that the bug is due to the user playing with that) andf I really don't want to install the ROm for the third time
Any idea would be appreciated
Cheers

Post in correct section
I've been having this issue since I got the phone. When I make a new folder in the drawer and fill it with apps and then reboot the phone, the folder will only have a few or none of the apps I put in it. So I put put the apps back in the folder and continue on my day and after a few cycles of this the folder somehow retains memory of what apps it had and stops resetting. But it's gotten a little annoying 'cause I'm orderly.
Anybody know how to fix this or what's causing it?
I have no other issues with the phone, and it's not even that big of a deal. But it's too bad that my experience with the phone is so close to perfect aside from this little glitch.
Thanks.
i had the same issue and it thru off my ocd LOL.. so im monitoring it atm
Was there ever a solution to this? I'm having the same issue on a Note 3 running v 4.3. If found it asked a couple times quite a while ago, but I haven't found a thread with a solution.

Exact same situation. I've experienced it both on stock and hyper drive roms. I am still having an issue finding the solution. Any news?
Hello guys. I have proble with my p7000 and incoming calls. Sometimes the incoming call just bug whole phone. I can't recieve the call and I have to put out the battery. It's really annoying. And also, I don't see who called me in call history. I've made factory reset, but it didn't help. Also I updated my firmware to the version 20150807 but this bug is still here.
Absolutely same problem has man on this video. /watch?v=c588Clm67ME
Please help me.
/Sorry for bad English/
I had the same issue, try the November update from Stock or the Miui rom (the new one, not the one created the day the phone was out), I didn't had the glitch with those 2. I'm trying to know from what that problem come from but I'm far from being an expert sadly. That problem is on all the stock roms except the first and the one from November. All the roms based on stock got that issue (even those based with the November update strangely !?) so I guess it's something related to the voltage or something...

Thank you. So do you think, that ROMs like cyanogenmod doesn't have this issue? I almost can't use my phone... Today it happened to me again, but not on incoming call, but on alarm clock. So it has to be something with sound/soundcar/voltage of reproductors or something like that.. I am not expert so I am not sure.

The best is to test it. First install TWRP then make a backup of your current rom then install that rom : http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-8425-1-1.html#.VlyDufkvdhF and see if that problem occur again. Personally I had no issue with the November rom for the P7000 so I'm staying on that one for now, even the root doesn't mess up anything... If that occur with alarm that might be a problem with the sound board/card then I had the same issue, when I get a call, the sound was looping, screen staying black, had to or remove the battery or long long press on the power button.
Hope that will help you !
PS : The november rom is here : http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-9111-1-1.html#.VlyFPPkvdhE but you need a working flashtool for that one (you need flashtool for a custom recovery too anyway).
solved - cant receive incoming calls 4g'
I know this is an old thread but I have just had this exact same problem and after WEEKS of googling and determination I have found the fix to this problem..
I'm posting it because as I was googling I found that there are still hundreds of people experiencing this today.
HERE IS THE SOLUTION!
Dial *#*#4636#*#* on your phone..
Then scroll down and you will see a small down arrow next to "Set proffered network type"
Choose LTE/GSM/CDMA Auto (prl)
Also, you might need to check one other thing.. On the same screen go to top right ":" drop down nav menu settings shortcut and "Select Radio band" - do this if the 1st change hasn't fixed your incoming calls problem.. You can experiment with AUS, AUS2 or Automatic etc and try again.
I was about to throw this new Elephone S3 back to China but it's all great now
Hope this helps someone
