My phone is going crazy!

Has anyone ever heard of a phone basically going crazy? Ive been on mexperia for probably close to a year now and loved it. Never had a single issue with it. This last week my phone started acting really funny and becoming really un responsive. In a way it has had a mind of its own.. For example, i open the phone app and it starts scrolling through contacts chosing them at random and dialing in some cases. Sometimes if i try to manually dial a number it will just start dialing random numbers on its own. Same goes for messaging and just about all other apps. My phone just does what it wants to and i cant stop it. My home and back buttons stop working and my sreens scroll on their own.
Today i decided to switch roms to mexdroid atomic and its doing the same thing. I did a nandroid backup, I wiped data/reset, wiped dalvik and battery stats like im supposedd to and its still the same. It took me 20 mins to get through the setup because i couldnt type in my gmail account name with out it typing a bunch of random letters.. So, i guess its not the rom and must be my device.
Side note.. I take very good care of my phone and it has never seen a drop of water so its not physical damage.
Also, i notcied that when i lock the phone...wait a few seconds... and then unlock it, it will function normally for the next 10-15 seconds. It gets annoying because it takes me a few minutes to write a text or make a phone call. I have to type a few words, lock it, unlock it, type a few more words etc..
Sorry this is kinda long but im just hoping someone has experienced something like this or may have heard of this happening before and can help.

Yea i have the same problem still suffering from it i think its the digitizar that needs to b replaced.

I hear ya bud! Just got off the phone with tmobile a few hours ago and I'm getting a mytouch 4g slide tomorrow!
My phone started acting real weird about 5 days ago. When charging at first, it would say it was charging, then when unplugged drop any and all charge crazy fast. Then there were times when it said it was charging, and it would sit all night on the charger and be 65 percent in the morning. Then there are times it doesn't even want to charge at all, or you have to hold it or place it just the right way to get it to charge. Tried my wifes battary from her g2 and the same thing was going on. Put my battary in her phone and it worked in her phone like it was new! I think its something with the connector on the inside, but this is my second g2, the first had screen issues.
Tmobile offered me another g2 for $5, or an Mytouch 4g Slide for the same. Hate to part ways with the phone but it's time to try something new.

I guess im going to have to send it in for another one. I just hope tmo doesnt freak because its rooted. My phone is spazzing so much i doth think i will be able to get it back to stock..

This is my second to send it. The first one was rooted and s-off. Don't worry, won't be a problem. As long as physically the phone is in good condition and no water void.

Same thing happening to me sometimes but I don't think I can send it in for an exchange because I didn't buy it from tmobile although I did buy it fresh out the box..any suggestions I want a new one

Anyone with hardware issues?

I just got off the phone with Verizon today and I'm getting my fourth gnex is anyone else having issues this abundantly? First it was two phones due to faulty screens then one dropped data every thirty seconds. Now I have a faulty charging port.

Another unsatisfied VZW user. You guys have it rough.

Four times? You must break the spell!
If I were you I'd buy the next one thru authorized Verizon's Witch Doctor.

I've been offered the razr Maxx or whatever the highest gig iPhone is from Verizon to fix my issues. I'm very satisfied. I love my gnex I've just had so many issues I was curious if its my magically horrible luck or what.

Sorry to hear about your troubles. I just got this gnex this weekend and have not had any problems. I upgraded from a Bionic. I'm just going through these forums to see what kind of problems to lookout for. I hope your luck gets better.

Thanks man. I'm glad to see the charging issue doesn't seem widespread.

I'm on my 3rd Nexus as well. First one the DAC half burnt out so I wasn't getting any audio through the earpiece and mic stopped working. Second one had faulty charging. Would charge it full and after in plugging it would still think it was charging and the phone would wake the screen by itself every so often causing huge battery drain.
The one I have now has a small problem but its tolerable. The speaker doesn't turn off immediately. There about a second or two of air and then when it does turn off it make a small pop sound.

My VZW Gnex has been fine. Every so often mine will drop a data connection, but so does every other LTE device. It's by no means wide spread.
I've been very pleased with mine so far. I'm glad to hear that Verizon is doing a good job of giving replacements to people with issues.

I have had charging issues where it thinks it is connected to charger, and keeped turning on the screen when idle. I also have problem with my headphone plug, where it sometimes thinks I have connected headphones which leads to no sound in the earspeaker and microphone turned off.
In addition I now have problems with sound only coming from one of the headphones when connected.
All this on the same phone, never returned it. Samsung QA really sucks...

Yea my charging issue is its just not charging 100% of the time. I have to do the BS bending the cord to the perfect spot

Guess I've been lucky.

I'm thinking pure coincidence unless VZW phones are made with different hardware and by someone else.
No hardware problems for me.

Clearly hardware issue if you've tried multiple SIMs.

Mine doesn't work. I was playing about 2 hours, locked it, went to see a friend, and when I took the mobile again, it was on "Google" logo, and never again passed from there. No Roms, no root, now I'm waiting Vodafone brings me a new one (Only 1 week old)

Well so much for great customer support. I called to get the phone sent and then they told me I could choose to receive a brand new phone in store. One guy flat out lied to me and told me that no stores within 50 miles had the phone then they had me on the phone for six hours before someone says we can only send a refurb so take it or dont. Horrible service yesterday so beyond less than pleased.

Problem with charging or hardware. Help?

Hi,
I don't actually know if this is ROM related or kernel related or something just wrong with my phone. My phone keeps 'randomly charging' even when the charger isn't plugged in. The status bar icon changes to the lightning one and it says it's charging on the lock screen.
Sometimes the charger doesn't seem to charge the phone till I reboot (It works perfectly with my Nexus 7 and Tab 2).
I'm running the latest CM10 20120930 with Franco kernel (only because I had the problem with the stock kernel and wanted to try another). And yes, I did wipe everything before updating.
If anyone can help, please do. It's really annoying since the screen turns on every time the phone decides to 'wirelessly charge' and runs down my battery.
Thanks for any advice, tips, etc.

There are a lot of topics about this. It's a hardware problem.
I have the same problem, so I bought this USB port replacement http://www.ebay.com/itm/310412314270 and I'm waiting it to arrive so I can change mine... If it works, I'll post it in the General section of this forum.
If your phone is still under warranty, use it, and don't let samsung tell you that is not a manufacturing problem, because it is, there are thousands of people whit the same problem.
Sorry for my bad english.

I've been using the phone since January so I doubt they're gonna listen. Anyways if you're gonna replace the whole port could you make a how-to so anybody who has the same problem could fix it themselves?

as soon as I replace the port, if it works, I'll post a video and some explanation on how to do it.

Had this problem , sent it back to Samsung and they replaced it and sent it back with a broken screen. Poor customer service but they fixed. As people have stated its the USB port , replace it or send it back under warranty

Nexus 7 wont turn on (Help desperately needed!!!)

Well im in a bit of a predicament, my Tab died while my cousin was using it and now ive put it on charge for 30 mins and it wont get past the flashing x boot screen googled it and noticed someone else has the same issue, is it common? any help?

You should be able to download and reflash the rom if needed but not sure if you have too.
What was your friend doing to it? Was he trying to unlock and root, etc?
Will it sync to your PC?

Last night I had a similar issue, it won't pass the initial Google logo.
I just held the power button down for a while, and it turned off, then I powered it on again and everything was fine.
It happened after I tried a bunch of apps and decided to restart it.

My won't get past the flashing x at all, rebooted several times, charged it, everything but it won't turn on
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

I am guessing it's related to the letting the battery run out of juice.
Charging a completely dead lithium battery may take much longer time. For several times I have to plugin and wait half hour to several hours before the battery even start charging, of course those were on other devices, but I think it should be common among all such batteries. May be the battery hasn't been charged at all.
Since you are still in US, I would suggest take it back for a exchange, whatever the reason, the device should be considered faulty. If you brought it on Amazon then just return and mail it out before you leave.

fixed it by resetting the device in recovery, all works fine now, found a dead pixel now not going to risk returning it now, device is working fine

Seems like it's a 4.3 issue

GT-N5110 Sleep of Death

Hello! Just got my note and am having a major problem with SOD while running stock 4.2.2.
Since I only just received this not sure if this was an issue with previous firmware. What happens is I will just leave the tablet and come back and it won't turn on with power or home buttons. Happens pretty frequently. Thought I'd had something to do with the magnets in my case but it does this even out of the case. The only way to power it back on is to do the long-press reset of the power button.
Also when this happens the tablet won't charge either even though it's plugged in.
Searched all over the web for this and could not find anyone suffering anything similar on the stock android firmware.
Can anyone help me? Beyond this issue this is a wonderful tablet.
