My xperia s is running cm10 based freexperia212. now my phone has started giving me problems to touch.. the whole strip alonmg the charging port doesnt respond to touch most of the times.. sometimes it does. and worst of all the screen goes mad and registers touch anywhere in multiple areas without me doing anything.. i think the screen in gone mad.. can anyone give me a solution.. and its not a hardware issue cause it works sometimes.. nevertheless.. mostly no. plz help.. i would be greatfuyl. thanks.
It could be the digitilizer playing up which is a hardware problem. I've had an android tablet that had that problem before. Make a backup and flash a stock rom and see if the problem remains

i flashed the CyanogenMod 9.0.0-RC0-GT-S5660-GalaxyICS-KANG-beta5, everything seemed to work fine, then i noticed that i wasn't getting any service at all. i then tried cyanogen 7.2 and same story. 7.2 is letting me make 911 calls unlike the ics rom.
can anyone help me pin the problem down and fix it? please and many thanks
i'm now in an endless boot cycle...
is there a guide to just to back to stock?
Flash stock rom via Odin if u want
@wiwid_colgate
Galaxy Gio S5660
#GalaxyICS
it was a supposed stock oden flash that caused me the never ending boot cycle
Odin does not reformat the /data and /cache partitions. Which would cause bootloops on a stock kernel that doesn't know how to handle ext4.
Use an RFS compatible recovery. Otherwise dd back empty RFS partitions back into place.
i had some problems with setting other launcher than adw on default. next time i'd restart the phone it got stucked at samsung logo. So i didn't set my favorite launcher on default and problems were solved. maybe it'll help.
For me the same prob. no service with CyanogenMod 9.0.0-RC0-GT-S5660-GalaxyICS-KANG-beta5 and cyanogen 7.2.
After that i flash with "S5660XXKTI - SER" (One Package-Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread stock)with odin and it runs like a train....(not like the dutch trains)
Do a full whipe before and after flashing.

lol. that sentence has to be explained for people outside of the netherlands...
our train service is well known because of not driving trains when it freezes, a bit. like -10 degrees and ''wissels'' the things that make sure a train can move from railroad to another railroad, something like this..
we know much about water and dikes, but not about trainrail.
lol

You can try another stock firmware go back to 2.2.1 Froyo or 2.3.3. Gingerbread.
And don't forget to select Wipe data/factory reset before and after flashing.
Check if everything is working,if so than flash 3.3.6.
More i really don't no.
Maybe it has to do something about the "radio" you can found out by search here on xda.
Hi everyone.
I'm having a little problem with my Xperia S, it's kind of new (2 weeks of use).
When I'm using normally the cellphone, everything works great, but if don't use it for a long time and I grab it faster and unlocked it, sometimes the cellphone freezes! Well, not exactly freezing, it still works but VERY slowly, almost like freezing. I can't turn it off with power button, I had to user Power + Volume button to turn it off/restart it.
That happened in first week, so I unlocked bootloader and flash it another kernel (advanced stock kernel), and the problem was there.
Later I made a backup of the firmware (I updated to its last version with PC Companion, ICS btw) and flashed a custom ROM (XTXperience 4), and the problem was still there.
Yesterday I flashed a Generic ICS ROM downloaded from XDA Server using Flashtool, everything went normal until today, when the problem happened again.
I've been searching here in XDA and Google and still nothing seems clear of what is causing the problem, if it's the sim card or maybe a hardware problem. I'm going to relock the bootloader today, and I will try to repair the phone using SUS.
What is causing the cellphone to freeze? Hope someone help me with this. Thanks in advance!
btw, sorry about my english, hope you understand most of what I wrote
Well in my experience,
The phone freezes because it is too hot,
Or the RAM memory suddenly drops.
I mean sudden ur phone's RAM memory is 0.
I'm not sure too.
But I think reflashing the kernel, or flash other kernel will fix the problem
Try it

What ics firmware did you flash? And did you do a complete wipe when flashing?
Sent from my Jellybean Xperia S
I've flashed other kernel and yes, I do a complete wipe when I flash another ROM, via Flashtool or CWM.
I've been thinking of rolling back to GB to see what happens.
Yesterday my phone freezes like 2 or 3 times in less than 15 minutes. First time I reboot the phone and it was ok like 5 minutes, then it freezes. I reboot again the phone and happened again.
Its not even hot or using a lot of RAM, it always has like 250 or 200mb free
Did u play with CPU settings?

No, this is happening since the first boot of the phone. When I turned it on the first time it happened, and I had to search how to force a reboot because I didn't know how to do it LOL
It doesn't happen very often, but when it does is very frustrating!
Try flashing a new rom, but wipe the system partition too? I always do that to ensure a fully clean install.

I'm thinking in flashing a non based stock rom, like CM or MIUI, because I flashed XTXperience before and the freezing happened.
Oh, and the problem still exists. I believe Wi-Fi connection maybe it's the problem, I'm testing some things right now.
Had this too using Supercharger (by zep) but after few setting it's gone. Maybe you should try to run the script ?
It was with stock rom and advanced kernel v15/16.L
Well, I was on 6.1.A.2.45, I relocked the bootloader and an update changed the firmware to 6.1.A.2.55 using SUS without wiping data and the problem was still there, so I repaired the phone with SUS, it erased everything and the problem was gone for like 2 days. Today it happened again.

Advanced Stock Kernel supports 6.1.A.2.55 firmware?

Well, I Supercharged my ROM now, which setting do you use to fix the problem? I'm still having it.
I even flashed a CM10 based ROM and its still happening! I think it's a hardware problem

Hi, did you manage to solve the problem? I'm having similar issues like you
Hey the Problem is the following:
3-5 random reboots every day
restarts during every phonecall after 1-3 Minutes
freezes when in standby, cant turn back on -> need to take battery out
often slow, especially when switching apps. or when typing
I have tried stock 4.3, CM10.2 recently and before that CM10.1 for a while.
I already send it in but they only said my battery is broken.
Is it possible that all my problems come from this?
I rather think my flash memory is broken? What you think?

Since yesterday I am facing the same problems you are describing. At first I thought it was a bad flash or something like that. Clean installed various 4.3 costum roms and it's always the same.
Right now I will look deeper into it since the phone is unusable in that condition.
If I find a solution I will comment.
Best regards
Edit: Okay, works again flawlessly. I simply flashed an nightly from carbon-rom and the lags were gone. Hope it helps. What exactly caused the lag I don't know. For now I am staying on 4.2.2 Carbon as it is my favourite rom anyway and I will wait till there are stable 4.3 from carbon.
Are you sure it's the phone and not an app?

Not pretty sure, but it still occured after countless factory resets, wipe cache, wipe dalvic cache and wipe system via TWRP.
Have you tried a clean install without installing apps to see if you get a reboot to eliminate an app as a possible cause?

Yes I did. I only flashed for example newest PA and their PA Gapps.
So far I resolved it by "downgrading" to a 4.2.2 nightly from carbon. The lags are completly gone. I will stay and wait till carbon has stable 4.3.
why dont people try stock when they are having problems? going from 1 custom rom to the next does not prove it is the phone.
please fastboot flash the stock rom and do not restore any apps/data other than say your google acct

Already did that.
I am having the same/similar problems with my GNex too. Specifically bullets [1-3] from the original post. I am running unmodified yakjuux and have tried with just my google account with no other apps and the same problem exists.
Mine makes a noticeable "click" sound with a vibration followed by a reboot.
It usually happens during calls and after it boots the phone call log shows no record of the incoming/outgoing call that just happened. Its like a blue screen of death for android!
I have sent the phone back to Samsung's warranty service 4 separate times and each time they reported no trouble found in the completion report. They just factory reset or put an older version of jelly bean back on the phone and send it back to me with some notes of PRL updates and other nonsense to make it seem like they did something to fix it.
Does anyone have any suggestions (logs, adb, etc) how I can help prove to Samsung/service absolute that the phone is a lemon (other than trying to video tape the phone hoping it reboots - because that is the last resort)?
I already escalated to executive customer service and they refused an exchange because the completion reports show no trouble found :crying:
Thx!
well... I also have this problem.
First happened when I flash Cm10.2 nightly (don't remember which one).
Then I flash PA, or whatever... Looks like the random reboot relating to notifications? It's usually happened when whatsapp notification coming in, but not always.
But a few weeks ago I flashed stock ROM rooted (via TWRP, not fastboot).
The problems solved. No random reboots anymore. Then today I tried latest CM10.2, and it happened again... Wonder why... Looks like it's a very rare problems.
Interesting to see someone having the same problem...
Now I want to flash stock ROM via fastboot to check if it'll fix.
Btw, I can flash directly to CM 10.2 from 10.1, can't I? Or I should flash 4.3 via fastboot first?

I believe CM offers an upgrade option somewhere in the system settings. Unless you want to wipe your phone and flash directly to 10.2 in which case I do not think you need to flash stock 4.3 first. Maybe just do a reset within 10.1 before you flash CM10.2 via whatever recovery (clockwork etc) you are using but even that may be unnecessary.
My 1 year warranty expires this month so if I can't manage to get something out of Samsung I am going to play around with flashing stock 4.3 as you suggested. I have tried converting yakjuux to yakju in the past but still saw the problem then which made me revert back to yakjuux so I could send the phone back for service).
Anyone encountered camera flash stopped working suddenky in camera mode, flashlight app or other 3rd party app? I used to clear dalvik and cache n it was ok for awhile but now it totally stopped working. Will reflashing it and reformatting it bring back the flash? T705 user here btw.

Well let's find out if it is a software issue or hardware issue. Backup your current ROM, then wipe data, flash a new rom and see if it works. If it doesn't it's hardware issue.

anyone knows any way of which i can actually see what or which thing that causes the break??
My Tab S (T700) wont flash too! Only rarely. I tried in complete darkness and no flash! Im prolly gonna end up registering for this site just to comment!
Hi I am using DN4 with their latest updates from a few weeks ago. It ran for several weeks now without issues but today it just crashed after i took a photo with the samsung camera app.
Problem is now that it wont boot through, it just shows the bootanimation all the time.
1. How can this be?
2. How can I fix it to boot again without losing apps+their data?
What I already tried by booting into twrp-recovery:
wipe cache+dalvik and restart
fix permissions and restart
repair file systems of the partitions
Help please!

Dirty flash the rom (no wipe no nothing)
You wont lose any app you installed.
Sent from my handphone, not yours
Try dirty flash in Philz recovery. TWRP doesn't work good for DN4
I tried alot in the last hours...
The data partition seems to be corrupted. none of the recoveries can mount it and if I install a new ROM I see that the part where the data partition is populated is over too fast so I assume it cant access it and skips it. Flashed Roms even booted sometimes but there are massive FCes probably because all from data is missing
Hope this is not hardware failure. Will try flashing 4.1.2 with odin next (was still on mj5)
4.1.2 via odin seems to do the trick. Thanks for the help, guys!
