Dialer/phone FC every rom - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

So i have started encountering a problem in which about 3 minutes into a phone call my phone freezes and then ultimately turns off and only way to turn it back on is removing the battery and then power button.
I have had this problem on every rom starting on CM. After it happened on this rom i flashed juggs, beast, and da bomb (or whatever) and everyone it still happened. I wiped data, cache and delvik before every flash but this did not help.
I eventually just odin back to stock with the stock tar that is posted somewhere in this forum. This still has the problem. I found that it generally happens if i move from my ear and the screen turns on and then it wont turn back off and no menus are available (ak i cant get into dialer if i call bank or 800 number to input a number) and then it just completely freezes and turns off.
Any help with this would be great. I mean making phone calls is probably the most important part of a "phone" working. So i really need this to be fixed asap. thanks

Looks like it might be a kernal problem. Have you flashed back to the stock kernal? If not, I'd look there first

yeah i flashed stock kernal as well...problem still persist

uninstall Google+

no google + never have had it.

Have you tried flashing CM7 Alpha #2? I had that same problem with Alpha #1 release then flashed #2 fixed permissions. Then at first start up i rebooted with GPS on and voila! No more phone FC.

I started with Alpha #1 where the problem started flashed over #2 fixed permissions and same problem. thats when i started flashing the other roms to try to solve the problems but this hasnt helped. So i odin back to stock. flashed stock kernal and stock recovery. and i still have the problem.
What sucks is im just graduating college and im starting to receive calls from future employers and i cannot talk for more then 2 minutes before my phone decides to shut off.
So any other advice???

bump it up. Any help please...::
what it is doing now update: I click on a contact or type a number and press call and the screen turns black except the status bar. soft keys dont work, hard keys dont work. phone is a fail. people can still hear me and i can still hear them but the phone is unusable and i have to pull battery to get out of the black screen.
This was doing it on every rom and i have now put beastmod v2 4.0 still no luck :[

I just received my White GS2, finished the OTA update.
And yes, the dialer FC on me every single time once I push the hangup button.

[Q] My DHD keeps crashing and rebooting, but only when the screen is locked...

Hello!
For some time now my phone's been rebooting itself completely random it seems. I just got it back after sending it away to get this issue fixed. Obviously the "repair" didn't really do anything at all. All they did was to flash the latest software apparently.
I got quite fed up with the crashing and rebooting stuff, and figured that it wouldn't hurt to try to flash a custom ROM, in this case I chose to root the phone and try MiUi. I had no clue wether it would solve the issue I'm having, but I figured it was worth a try. So i rooted the phone and flashed the latest version of MiUi (1.11.18).
At the start it seemed like it had worked, and had stopped the phone from crashing. But after some time I realized that the issue is still there, only difference now is that it ONLY crashes when I lock the screen with the Power-button. EVERY SINGLE TIME I do this, in a matter of minutes it will either reboot or just turn black and totally unresponsive. Only way to get it on again is to take out the battery and put it back in.
This is starting to annoy the **** out of me, so I talked to my brother for advise this morning, and he told me to wipe my Dalvik Cache. So I did, and nothing changed, the phone keeps on living it's own life.
I have absolutely no clue what info you guys might need to help me with this, but I'll start with this:
Phone: HTC Desire HD
Android-version: 2.3.7
Kernel-version: 2.6.35.14-cyanogenmod-g319b6e2
ROM: MiUi 1.11.18
Also, the motherboard's been switched once, cause of another issue that is now gone.
ANY help is appreciated, I just want to be able to use the phone normally!
EDIT: Also it seems that the phone won't reboot or crash whenever it's charging.
Sounds like a hardware/software issue your best bet is getting a replacement and re rooting .

[Q] Phone deactivated?

I was running latest paranoid android and I wiped cache/dalvic cache after flashing Cerberus in recovery and when the phone booted up it was asking me to Activate (sprint service) my phone. I've never seen this with flashing roms and was wondering if this is a known issue with flashing roms on the S3 or something that can randomly occur from time to time.
Anyone have experience with this before? I had been running Paranoid Android for less than 24 hours but initially didn't have any problems whatsoever.
Itll do that sometimes depending on the rom. Usually does it after a factory reset and installing a cm based rom. Its just asking you to add your google account... you should be fine

This didn't have anything to do with my Google account. I guess I should have been more specific, I mean that my phone is deactivated on Sprint's network as in I can't make phone calls and all the info is missing in about phone. Phone number, PRL and such. I am flashing back to stock right now and hope this fixes it. Will probably give paranoid another go but this doesn't sound like a common issue because I haven't been able to find anything by searching.
When you get back to stock it'll probably reactivate itself. If not (although you can do this regardless just in case), ##72786# in the dialer should set you straight. If I'm not mistaken the screen you're referring to should be gone when you boot stock regardless. Its a bug. Doesn't work for a sprint phone but still buried in the rom
Ahhh... could try manually flashing your modem after the install too

Soon as I flashed the stock rom it tried to activate and initially failed and prompted me to reboot. Second attempt it was successful and then I immediately flashed back to PA and it is working. Going to give it another shot and keep the stock rom on my sd card this time in case I get stuck in a pinch.
I jumped the gun, phone activated fine but signal drops in and out randomly and will not connect to 3g. Just reflashed to stock again and everything seemed fine but signal was still back in and out. Checked under status and PRL read "0" tried updating to no avail so did the dialer code and it did the activation and all is right in the world again, or at least for the moment.
Just trying to figure out why when I flash Paranoid all my settings just disappear
*edit*
Just flashed back to PA this third time after fully making sure that the phone was working and had 3G data and all was right with the world (my phone). Will update if it goes South again but as of right now the phone is behaving properly. Maybe it just wasn't working right the first time and I didn't notice since I was on wifi. Only thing that keeps me from thinking that is I didn't get the Activation message until 12 hours or so after I had flashed and had been using the phone. /shrug
I still think flashing a modem in recovery after installing PA would yield a poisitve result

how do you flash a modem? I am new to this and this is also a problem that I am having with the same rom. I tried searching for a fix and this is where i landed.
Thank you,
and sorry if i am breaking forum rules

Phone Call Issues

OK last week a did a restore to [ROM ] Pure Stock Rooted and debloated ROM via cwm. After doing it I ran into a bunch of force closes and restored back to my stock ROM I had rooted. Since going back to my rooted stock ROM when I receive a call or place a call. My phone screen shuts off and I can't get the screen to turn back on during the call. If the person on the other end of hangs up. I can then get the screen to turn on and things seem normal. I've tried formatting, wiping cache, and delvic. I've tried other ROM's like CM 4.3 and they all behave the same way. Does anyone know what other things I can try because I'm starting to think I got a F'ed up sensor issue that may be more hardware than software issue.

No call connection until restart and no rom change

I have 2 problems.
First since a month mine and my wife's phone started to have no connection after dialing some number. We both have the same issue. Let's say I hit to call my friend Tony. SO after pressing name I see connection sceen, I see time of conversation, I see bars but no voice. The person I call to hears me. I tried with different people. Same issue on both phones.
After restart calling is normal. Airplane mode off/on doesn't help.
On June 2014 we finally decided to switch roms. So since then we have Cyanogenmod 10.2.0-hercules (4.3.1). It was alright, beside problems with camera, 30% of photos and videos have defects /artefacts.
SO I thought maybe changing rom will help.
I spent whole day on searching stock roms but all files are deleted and i can't find neither one of last 4 versions.
So I thought I will change rom to earlier version of Cyanogemod. It didn't help.
Today I spent few hours too and finally decided to change rom to 4.4.2 | HellKat (first that succesfully wanted to download).
Something went wrong.
I thought I was doing everything right and there are no tricky parts but I guess I forgot to do something or... maybe something is wrong with my phone.
So I'm using TWRP. First I hit "factory reset", then "advanced wipe" and and wiped everything beside sdcard.
Then I installed my new rom, after few seconds, it shows "failed"
So I wiped everything again and tried to restore my backed up rom.
It showed "failed"
SO I wiped everything again and installed my current rom.
It shows "failed".
I started to worry and to think that I just want my old phone back, at least it works... sometimes.
I hit reboot, wipe, and install again my current rom.
Success. (Maybe reboot after wipe is needed? or maybe it's coincidense)
Finally.
I hit reboot and installed gapps.
So I was almost happy that i could go back to where I was.
Not quite...
I started to download my apps.
On second one screen went black.
Actually it powered off.
I tried to turn it on but it was only showing Samsung logo and black screen after that.
I went to TWRP, wipe, install current rom 3 times.
It seems that restart after installing makes phone bad and I can only see black screen without even booting. Ewentually I found out that now I have 60% chance that if I hit reboot I won't be able to come back to my system.
I will have just black screen and the only way to have working phone is install new rom again and not restarting.
Or maybe it's just coincidence but I don't have time to play and spend another hour on wiping, installing rom and the gapps and apps.
I hope you guys see some stupidity or some detail in what i did wrong.
I hope that maybe one of you will actually will be able toi help me with chagning rom the right way or to fix that connection issue.
same, sort of.
I have similar issue. I cant make calls unless i reboot. And it seems when i open an amount of apps, the calls just dont work. I dont know what to do.
Make sure you're on the latest TWRP, earlier versions will not successfully flash newer roms.
As for the voice thing, did you have snapchat installed? It's been reported to occur when you have snapchat installed.

Funny fact, before you wrote we have been testing our phones and found out that it is actually snapchat who makes a problem wih calling. We uninstalled it from botrh phones and 3 days it is ok
I will install new TWRP , hopefully there is newer version.
Just a heads up, Google Hangouts Dialer has the same effect as Snapchat as well.
Is there any way to avoid this? i use snapchat often, and removing it would be a loss :/

There's an older version of Snapchat that works without booking your audio. Search the threads for it. If I come across it anytime soon, I'll return with the link.

Screen freezes/crashes on a regular basis

Hi,
My OnePlus 3 keeps freezing or crashing, I don't really know; when I get to school and try to unlock the phone the screen won't come on, it just stays black, then I have to hold the power button to force a reboot. It happens really often, I thought it was because of my school's wifi but that's not it because it also does it when at home or after making a call. Sometimes it also randomly soft reboots. I honestly don't know what is happening, I'm running the latest OxygenOS Nougat.
Think about sending it in, sounds weird.

Did you update it via OTA? If so, try a clean install of the full ROM.

Are you running any custom kernels or a OxygenOS based ROM or just pure stock

Just the stock ROM, no custom kernels whatsoever
I think it has something to do with 4g switching to wifi. I switched the wifi off before I got to school and there was no freeze. Don't know how to fix it though, still unsure over the random reboots.

Same here, I can,t even configure the phone. Almost instant crash. I used flash method for bricked devices and nothing changed.
Hello. Have you guys found any solutions for this? I am on the latest Oreo Update (full stock) and this happens to me too. It also happened in the latest stable version of Nougat.
Same here! Full stock...
Recently I rooted it so I could read the logs, the key error was:
11-18 11:21:47.581 1176 1176 E AndroidRuntime: at android.view.WindowManagerGlobal.getWindowManagerService(WindowManagerGlobal.java:170)
I contacted support, but for now they just flashed a new 4.5.0 version on it. Problem still exists, so I contacted them again.
Exactly the same problem here (OP3), i tried with 4 or 5 combinations or Rom, Kernels. I completely back to stock + lock bootloader, the problem still persist . The support accepted to launch a repair process last week. They completed the process. It should returned to me today, i have no information about any problem they found on the phone...
I will tell you if they resolved the problem.

Hi Mate,
do you have an update from them? My phone hangs and goes black screen. Normal power on does not work most of the times. I had to use power + volume up to get the fast boot loader menu. This is really annoying.
Turn off wifi
Turning off WiFi, as suggested previously, seems to resolve the issue, i've exactly the same problem as above, flashing ROMS or Kernels did not solve the issue. It was strange for me as it all began once i upgraded my OxygenOS 4.5.1 with Nougat base to the new 5.0 with Android Oreo. Since then i started reporting system freezes anytime i turn off the screen or it goes to sleep. downgrading did not solve the problem of course. Could it be a hardware related problem??? Strange...
Cheers
