I've been running CM10 stable for most of my time with this phone. Flashed CM10.1 Stable as soon as it was released recently. Everything was smooth and I encountered no problems. My one gripe was the lack of USB mass storage, so I attempted to enable it via this terminal command fix.
It didn't work, and instead caused me to lose all network service. I wiped/reflashed CM, and restored through Titanium Backup. All was well and back to normal.
Starting around yesterday, however, I noticed that the phone's vibration upon booting was much more intense than usual. It lasts for about half a second but is incredibly loud (regardless of surface it is on or if it is in my hand or pocket) and when placed on a flat surface causes the phone to move around for the duration of the vibration.
I tried wiping data, cache, dalvik, fixing permissions, and finally flashing the device back to stock ICS through Odin. When running stock, I changed the Sound>Vibration Intensity settings to zero for ringtone, notifications, and vibrate on screen tap. Results are the same.
This problem doesn't really impede my use of the phone, only really causes some annoyance upon booting and has me worried that this activity might break the vibration mechanism in the phone (as I said, it is REALLY intense).
Does anyone have any idea what is going on with my phone?

I really wish it were that simple
Lol sorry but are you sure its a problem or just normal vibration. It might also be a hardware issue where unless you can open up your phone or get a new one you might be outta luck

I first started using CM at 6.1.2. I'm now on CM7 RC2 and the same problem still occurs. I have no idea why this happens but I'll provide as much info as possible in the hope that someone will be able to figure it out.
My phone will work completely normally for several days after I initially flash CM6.1.2 or CM7. After a few days, a crash will occur where the screen stays on but the phone is completely unresponsive to all input -- touch, softkeys, or hardware keys. The power button stops functioning. After a while, the screen dims and the phone reboots. After the reboot the phone chugs along for a few hours and then the same thing happens. This crash almost always occurs in the Browser, in the middle of loading a page. I don't think it's a memory issue because I consistently have ~100MB free for RAM.
Also, I don't know if this is at all related, but I often notice just before the crash, the haptic feedback from the phone for keyboard presses and the softkeys becomes very erratic and inconsistent.
I can never get a logcat because the phone restarts after the crash. Has anyone else seen this or know what might be the problem? Again, this has been happening all the way since CM6.1.2 (and possibly earlier, I haven't tried anything earlier than 6.1.2 though). This is driving me pretty crazy, and I really love CM and would like to continue using it, but this is kind of a dealbreaker.
Did you wipe between flashing CM6 and CM7?
Yes, I always wipe data/cache/dalvik between flashing.
This problem only really happens after my phone has been on for days at a time. I have had this problem on the latest stable and latest nightly for CM7 (each one cleanly installed after a total wipe).
What happens is that most screens are replaced with entirely black ones. The most consistent example of this is the settings screen. The first Settings screen (which shows Display, Sound, etc) loads correctly. If I click on any of those, I just get a black screen. This will happen in other applications too, like Baconreader or Browser. Also, another connected issue is that the lockscreen won't animate once this problem starts. I can drag it down to unlock, but the rotary wheel won't move at all. If I drag to the right to load my custom app, the lockscreen won't go away and it will force my to pull the battery.
Has anyone else run into this problem? I'd just like to know I'm not alone. I'm not really expecting a bugfix, especially when I'm not even posting a Logcat.
Did you fix permissions?

I suffered this same thing today. Thankfully a full restart fixed out, but I would love to learn a real solution.

Next time it happens I will, I'm just afraid it will break Facebook/SMS integration like I've had happen before.
It's just so weird since it breaks everything. The lockscreen, the options, Pandora's station list, the browser, and it goes on and on. It's like there's some sort of display mode that gets screwed up.

What version are you using. I'm going to try to install nightly 77 today after a fresh wipe.
I was seeing the same thing. Now I'm trying to figure out why my data speeds are so painfully slow on CM7 so I can't offer a fix. Flashing back to Warm to troubleshoot 3G.
I get these issues all the time no matter what kernel or nightly I'm running. It has forced me back to sense roms lol
Same problem here. I updated stable mod from stable mod. Reinstalled. Going on 4 days, no issues so far.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I have the same exact issue. This never happens on a sense rom. I did some tweaks to my system over the past week and I haven't had to reboot since this past Saturday or Sunday. I thought I had fixed it!
Then...
My phone started doing it this morning after I turned on 4G at work, literally as I was writing this post it started doing it. I then turned off 4G.. and it instantly went away. Turning back on 4G and it isnt doing it right now. Now my phone is doing something weird with go sms pro... when I get a text and I respond via the pop up message.. once my text moves to a second line I dont see what I am typing anymore... and now it has progressed to where the pop up box isnt refreshing after I send a message (this is all happening while I am typing this post). Now the phone has become laggy and somewhat unstable... rebooted! All is well. So I went roughly 4-5 days without a reboot... where as before I had to reboot at least once a day.
Thats about the best I can get with these settings:
CM7 7.0.3.1
Savaged Zen 2.6.38.5 CFS > Using SavagedZen Governor, min 384 max 998
Displaying some animations (read somewhere that is a "fix".. or helping extend the time it takes for the Black screen of death to appear).
This is after several full wipes, several when I was running Amon RA recovery 1.8 then updated to the latest and did it two more times. After upgrading Amon and wiping I did not use any backups and started completely from scratch.
So I am not sure what else to do. Some people are getting this, some are not.
Hi all -
I'm on AT&T, 100% stock, non-rooted, etc. I upgraded to JB last night via Kies without issue.
However, ever since the upgrade, my phone won't go more than 5 minutes without freezing and then crashing.
It's a very odd behavior... the screen will still animate. So, if I'm playing a game with a timer, the timer will still count down. But all touch input (including menu/home/back) does nothing. Home/back don't illuminate or do anything, but they do provide haptic feedback. Power button does turn the screen on/off.
Eventually after a few minutes, the lock screen comes up with the "tip" even though I've clicked to never show it again. However, it barely registers a swipe to unlock when it freezes again. At that point, it will usually self-reboot.
I've tried to enable some of the developer options to see if maybe there was a rogue program that was incompatible with JB, and maybe causing the issue, but I couldn't see any correlations.
I really want to avoid doing a factory reset if at all possible, as I have a game that I worked really hard on to beat a few levels, and I'd hate to lose my progress.
Anyone have any ideas on what I can try?
I should note that uninstalling programs is iffy... sometimes it works, other times it just uninstalls indefinitely.
Thanks!

This sounds somewhat familiar to my experiences with JB. I rooted right away with the stock JB and had freezing / crash issues. So I then went pure stock and had issues (un-rooted). I then tried a custom TW-based ROM called BlackJelly and had issues. Now I am on CM10.1 which is AOSP JB4.2.1 based and things are even worse.
There seems to be no JB ROM that is stable for my phone. Getting very tired of this.
See my thread for details:

Strangely enough, my issue ended up going away. I think it was a rogue program that needed it's dalvik cache rebuilt. Once uninstalled, the phone worked great. Not sure what app it was.
First off I'd like to say that I've already got the power switch replaced on this device. So I've ruled that out to some extent.
That being said, my device pretty much will freeze up at random times then either turn off or reboot. If it reboots, it will load the OS (or sometimes not even finish the boot), then either freeze up then reboot again, turn off, or freeze up and stay frozen for eternity. I've tried reverting to stock then reflashing all my **** and redownloading all my apps and stuff. While that helped for maybe, 3 days, it did not fix the issue. Also notable that this usually happens several times a day, and that sometimes leaving it on the charger helps it make a stable boot. I've also purchased a new battery with no luck. Not sure if this is related but figured it might be relevant that the device wakes randomly sometimes. This is not related to my specific ROM either, this happens on several pieces of firmware. Only cause I can think of is age (this model is almost 4 years old) or a faulty power switch (I've already had the switch replaced).
This has started to affect my schedule in that my phone loves to turn off when I'm sleeping so I miss my phone's alarm, which I highly depend on.
Completely unrelated issue but I'm on Sultan's Lollipop ROM and I can't download themes, apps, etc. The device gives me an error saying that the app/theme "failed to install". All of my current apps come from restoring /data from my 4.4.4 daily driver backup. Help with this would be very nice as well.
Thanks a ton in advance for the help.
Fixed! My overclock was too high. I can only assume that it was overheating, causing the freezing and rebooting. Min frequency is at 192 MHz and max is 1512. Stable for the time being.
As far as your reboots go, if it happens after flashing stock 4.1.2 with Odin, then it is hardware. Either the button still, or something else disrupting power momentarily.
Not sure about issue 2 though.
?

Hmm...hope u'll get fix soon..
Some background info.
I bought my pixel XL from the Google store and I believe it came with the 63L build out of the box. I have since made it a point to completely wipe and fastboot flash the latest image Everytime an update is release, right now I am on the 26U build. The only thing I have done to my phone (and these bugs happen before and after) is bootloader unlock and root.
The bugs.
Every once in a while, my volume controls will quit working. I notice it happen more if I cast to my Chromecast and play a song or video (seperate) on my device. I'll hit the volume button and literally nothing will happen. To fix this I usually have to turn the display off, wait a few seconds, wake it back up, then the controls work fine again. I do not believe it is a hardware issue because i can fix it Everytime it happens.
The second bug, probably the most annoying, is that my nav bar will become completely unresponsive occasionally while in landscape orientation. Say I'm watching a video on YouTube in full screen, if I swipe to pull out my nav bar and hit the home/recent/back button, nothing will happen. I will see the animation however no vibration (feedback) or a action occurs.
This happens in games, YouTube, web browsers, doesn't matter as long as my phone is in landscape mode. Also note that when this happens, my device refuses to rotate back to portrait. This leaves my only solution (same as the volume bug) to turn off the display, wait a few seconds, and then I back on. Sometimes, however, this don't even work, and I'll have to jump straight to settings from my lockscreen to force the phone to portrait where the functionality of the nav bar returns.
I've contacted google, they run me through the typical steps "delete cache, have you tried a reset, update to the latest software", but nothing fixes it. They have told me repetitively it's not a common problem and it's not a problem that's worth rma'ing over.
I've been discovering my pixel has many small issues that no one else has. Such as the horrible transfer speed explain in my earlier thread, these bugs above, refusing to charge when the device is off, etc.
Has anyone had similar problems?
@noidea24,
I've had none of those issues. In fact, my Pixel XL has been flawless.
Not good. I guess I'm going to try and force a RMA.

Sorry to nit, but when I read the statement above I can't help but wonder if you actually did a factory reset. Reason I say that is you stated "have you tried a reset" and you didn't explicitly state that you did.
I kind of doubt the responsiveness stuff you're referring to is hardware related, it's probably software.
Whether or not a rogue app is affecting your device or a root app is impossible to determine without doing a factory reset and carefully adding one app/change at a time until the problem comes back. It's a PITA but that's what I'd do first to rule out hardware, and I'd simply run email and messaging apps unrooted for at least 24 hours to rule out hardware issues before I start loading up my favorite apps.

A factory reset is far from a pain in the ass, and yes, i have done it many times. the only things that makes it suck is when i have to transfer files back to my device because (as mentioned) i have terrible transfer speed from pc to device.
i have literally done everything i can to make this devices worth the price, and things are only getting worse. Since the post (later that night) i factory flashed once again, and re locked the bootloader. No root, No extra apps, hell, the only apps i had on my phone to begin with were facebook messenger, and that pixel car racer, i dont use anything else. ive had an even worse bug come in where my phone completely freezes when opening google camera and swiping to the video section. ill have to hold power until it force resets.
ive been with xda since my Motorola droid, Ive built roms for the community for my lg g2 and my nexus 6. hell, i even built kernels for my 5x (not public), so im a little past your average user complaining about some things that dont work due to user error. these are legitimate device flaws and malfunctions, and i was simply asking if anyone else has experienced them. and since it seems no one has, i have deemed my device faulty. now i have to come up with $600 for a service hold to get it replaced.
My experience with Googles first official flag ship has been pathetic, and im hoping that this replacement device i get (eventually) will persuade me not to go back to my 6p.
Well if that's the case then yeah I hope a replacement device will solve your issues. Sounds like it will.
Didn't mean to rile you up, just looking for clarity.
Good luck!
