So I've been having some touch problems. I've been texting, and doing normal things, but the problem still persists.
I am running Liquid Smooth RC2, JellyBean 4.2.2 with the latest GAPPS on the T999 S3.
I did not have this problem a few days ago and I was running the same rom. I got the problem yesterday so I reset, factory reset and everything with RC2 again.
Here is a video of the problem. This is just one symptom. I have other issues which includes random clicks on the touch, which activates random apps sometimes that are available on my screen, as well as jitters make things impossible to touch, as well as sometimes not being able to touch things as well. I tried moving apps on my desktop, but sometimes it wasn't responding and I'd have to wait.
Please let me know if you need anymore details.

Are you sure its not just the rom? 4.2.2 roms will have bugs since they aren't officially supported yet

I've got a Verizon G'NEX and I flashed DroidViscious's 4.1.1v1 rom with Franco's kernel about a month ago and everything was smooth sailing up until last week. I've been experiencing random instances of my screen freezing for about 10 seconds followed by my device rebooting. Upon startup right after a reboot I can enter my pattern lock and then it freezes immediately after and reboots (I can tell it's responsive during the unlocking of the pattern because of the haptic feedback). This will happen several times before I'm able to get back to the homescreen without it freezing.
I thought there was a problem with the rom since it was an older build Jelly Bean so I wiped the device and flashed the latest build of Pete's BuglessBeast using his default kernel hoping that would solve the problem. Unfortunately it didn't. I'm still experiencing these random freezes and reboots and the only way I can get it to boot without freezing is to pull the battery out for a couple of minutes and try again.
I'm wondering if the device is thinking it's getting too hot so it shuts down but I don't really have any way of knowing (it happens a lot when I'm in the car or when the phone is charging). Anyone have any ideas on what the problem is and how to resolve it? Or any ideas on how I can debug the problem myself? It's happening fairly often now when I need my phone the most.
The phone isn't even a year old so if relock the bootloader and return it to stock it should be covered under warranty still if there's a hardware issue.
Well, this problem seems to be exclusive to Jelly Bean. I reverted back to ICS and everything seems to be fine. Is anyone else having this problem with Jelly Bean roms?
yeah I get alot of random reboots and some freezes here and there. not sure what it is. but i have to gsm version gnex.
I am currently running the latest build of the PacMan rom for my Sprint S3, but my problem didnt start there. As over the course of a few weeks my phone has been randomly crashing while running build 7 of Slimkat. It started crashing when i wanted to take a picture with the AOSP camera (when i hit the camera button and then it would shut off). Then it progressed to just crashing trying to use accuweather, or even when the screen was auto-rotating in my SMS app. So finally i just backed up my important bits and made a clean wipe into Wicked X 8.0 TW rom (because i'm on Ting and TW roms initially work on their network and wanted to export, or to just copy down the settings of, the APN xml to use in AOSP roms). After playing around with that for 20 minutes, i didn't experience any fc's or reboots. Though i did not use the camera in that time (i forgot to check). To which i then wiped it into PacMan rom that im at now. Which at the moment seems fine to do everything, except it will shut off if i want to OPEN the camera (doesn't let me use it at all). Plus i did have it crash once rotating with the play store up...
So im kinda lost, i wonder if this is just an issue with the camera in the rom, or if it might be a bigger issue with the phone itself. As ive been having the same random error's with two roms and i dont see anyone having FC's with pacman rom with the camera.
more testing done
So i have also attempted to odin completely back to stock and i have a stock rooted rom with nothing touched. The sudden shut-offs still happen and occur randomly. I installed logcat and what seems to be throwing error's is the accelerometer. Plus at first when i flash a new rom it seems to work ok with no problems for the first day, then suddenly start showing symptoms the next. Plus ive had it shut off during bootup too while going through the sprint 4g animation screen. Though i have not had it die on me in recovery, so thats a thing.... Plus it will rotate no problem half the time, and then ive seen it die rotating to use my keyboard.
So at this point i feel like its actually a hardware option. If it is the accelerometer, is it easy to fix (i guess re solder the connections if they're broke?)? or should i just try and replace the main board?
I haven't posted much in these forums so I can't post on the thread of the ROM itself. I'm having some problems with this ROM.
On the newer updates of Hangouts and Snapchat the phone acts super buggy.
In snapchat the video function just freezes the screen. Looks as if I've taken a photo but then snapchat is unresponsive. I've been running this ROM for almost a year and this is the first time I've experienced this.
In Hangouts I'm just experiencing HELLA lag. Which honestly seems to be happening to the phone in general recently (about 2-3months). Whenever I chose a contact and start typing sometimes it'll just go back to the contact selection page. Sometimes as I'm swiping words won't register (in all apps).
Other laggy/buggy issues I've noticed is that the pattern unlock function sometimes lags HARD. Other times the button doesn't wake my phone for like a minute. This didn't happen before when I first started running this ROM.
Any help/insights would be much appreciated.
Have you updated your firmware to the latest? Have you tried doing a factory reset (erasing data and cache)? It sounds like firmware or something on the data partition causing it. Especially since you said you have been running this ROM for awhile and we have had two firmware updates in the past couple months. Also the data issue might he true because there could be an app that is causing this issue. Happens more often than you think.
TL/DR: try new firmware and wipe data/cache from recovery and let us know if it is fixed.

Is anyone besides me still using this phone? I'm impatiently waiting for a 2015 Nexus or carrier neutral/Project Fi capable Motorola.
For the most part my phone works fine and does what I need it to do. I've been running v11 M12 since its release without any serious issues EXCEPT...
Lately I've noticed after a few days the phone will slow to a crawl. I'll open Running Apps and see a bunch of apps restarting at one time. Only a reboot will resolve the issue. I'm not running any obscure or obviously misbehaving apps and everything works fine for a few days. It doesn't appear to be 4G/WiMax related (turning it off doesn't resolve the issue).
I flashed the last milestone build, XNG3CAO1L7, without a factory reset and it seemed really buggy right away. I'm trying the latest NIGHTLY right now and it also seems a little buggy. I'd rather not factory reset, but I will if that is what it takes to resolve my issue.
Just curious about the status of anyone else running these builds. Thanks!
Hello everyone,
A few weeks ago I was running an optimized version of CM 12.1 on my TMobile Galaxy S4 (this one) http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-orig-develop/exclusive-antaresone-alucard24-s-t3066696
It was working completely fine until I downloaded and installed an OTA update for it, and ever since then my phone has been acting wonky (not sure if updating actually caused it, but it happened around the same time)
Some of the problems included:
- Phone consistently crashing/freezing. I need to reboot multiple times a day to get over it.
- Soundcloud sometimes doesn't work. Usually it just doesn't load even though I have LTE, and other times it shows the song is playing but I don't hear anything. After a hard reboot, it works temporarily. Phone also crashes occasionally when I open Soundcloud
- Youtube also sometimes doesn't work. It's the same problem where it doesn't load even though I'm in WiFi. Also crashes occasionally when I open it
- Music player sometimes doesn't play songs I have saved
After experiencing all this, I took it as an omen to upgrade my ROM so I downloaded and flashed Resurrection Remix 6.0 for my S4 and I experienced the same problems. As a final straw, I downloaded and flashed a rooted stock 4.4.2 firmware (which I'm running now). The phone doesn't crash as much thankfully but I still have problems with Soundcloud, Youtube, music player, and just persistent freezing.
My phone was fully functional and suddenly I experienced this array of problems. If anybody can help me out or point me in a right direction, I'd be incredibly grateful as I love this phone and I don't want to abandon it (well...until the S7 comes out)
ODIN back to stock with the full firmware.

Okay, thank you very much I'm downloading it as we speak.
I was wondering if you have any idea of what the cause of these problems are as I'm looking to experiment with more ROMs in the near future but I don't want to make the same mistake again.

Can be a variety of things depending if you tweak stuff, install xposed, etc.
Generally if you make sure to do full wipes between roms you should be OK...
One more thing to check might be your microSD card. They can go bad on occasion. Try running without or with a different one and see if issues persist.

i noticed this with my s4 as well, but mine has to do with the sim card error. when i'm on stock tw 4.4.4 i rarely get a sim card error. then i flash other roms and i get the sim card error more frequently. for instance i just installed the Resurrection Remix rom last night an i've already experienced the sim card error at least 6 times already. i really like this rom so i'll have to deal with it, but if it gets the error too frequently, i don't mind going back to stock KK 4.4.4.
