Hello Guys,
Need some advice here.
I'm running Paranoid Android 3.99 since its release and just recently my phone has started acting strange, I am unable to unlock my phone resulting in having to soft reset, It seems when using the phone it keeps freezing, I.e i'm typing a text and it stops responding for a moment and then continues typing the letter i hit previously.
I just wiped the cache and davlik but that took far longer than normal, as if it froze whilst wiping.
Has anybody experienced this and recommend any fixes?

try a different rom with clean wipe and see if prob persist
I suspect this is my only option, I'm just a little concerned it seemed to effect CWM.
I will give this a try this evening once I have backed up my apps etc.

So I am having a really strange problem recently with my phone, was wondering if I should unroot and return it or if it is something I am doing wrong. Basically what it boils down to is if I power my phone off from the menu or pull the battery, etc. upon powering back up it just Hangs on the HTC Evo 4G white splash screen indefinitely. I have let it sit as long as 15 mins without booting before, having seen this before in the past I know not to panic now but I just reboot into Recovery and wipe my cache and dalvik cache every time I reboot and my phone reboots back into sense in no time at all.
I know this is not normal, is there something I can do to troubleshoot this problem or is this is a sign of hardware failure?

I've never seen that before. Interesting. What rom are you currently using? Do you have an unusually large amount of apps installed? The first thing I would do, is make a nandroid backup of your current setup, and then do a full wipe and flash a format all.zip, then reflash a different rom. Or just simply restore a nandroid of a known good setup, and see if the problem persists. If it stops, I'd say it was something specific to the rom/kernel/setup that you were running before. If it continues happening on a clean install of a different rom, then I'd probably unroot, restore to stock, and then see if the problem continues. If it does, take it to Sprint. If it stops, and everything is fine, re root it and start over. That's just what I would do, but I've never been presented with an issue such as that.
I appreciate the advice, I'm running Sprint Lovers right now been running it for a few months now, I don't have an unusual amount of apps installed but I did notice that the problem seemed to start occuring when I changed the Kernel. I will try your advice and see if that fixes the problem. I've been wanting an excuse to try the new Gingersense rom anyways.

If it started happening right after you swapped out the kernel, that could be the culprit. If you want to try the gingersense rom, I'll all for it, and will tell ya that they ran super incredibly smooth for a factory rom. However, if you don't feel like changing roms just yet, maybe try a different kernel. I'd be suspect of that, if the problem started shortly after changing to a different kernel. I say try out a gingersense rom, you shouldn't be disappointed (unless your phone still hangs at the splash screen upon reboot, lol).
hi guys,
I'm flashing CM7.0.3. Everything seemed to run for like 4 months but about a week ago, my phone started freezing up randomly. When I'm in any application, it just freezes up, about 4 times an hour, so it's really annoying. The screen just displays what ever it was displaying when the phone froze and doesn't go to sleep. I just can't do anything. All I can do is do a batterypull. It started happening after I installed ADW EX so i uninstalled it. That didn't help... I posted this problem on the cyanogen forum too but that didn't help...
Can someone please help me?
Thanks,
Maybe try flashing the ROM again. CM7 has had a lot of updates in the past 4 months anyway, and is on version 7.1. You might even be able to update the ROM without wiping data. But if the problem persists, try wiping dalvik, cache, data and re-flash.
Hi, I have the Wildfire S with Cyanogen 7.2 (the release from july this year) and I had no problems so far, but since yesterday it started behaving strange.
Each time I make or receive a call after a few seconds the screen goes blank and and I get two vibrates. Then each time I move the phone the screen comes to life and two more vibrates. THis will continue through-out the call
It is very annoying... and I have no idea how to fix it...
I didn't make any changes or updates or whatever it just started happening...
Try wiping the rom once.....it might help.....But remember to backup

What do you mean by wiping? the dalvik cache? will every thing still be there, except the cache of course, cause I've only wiped before installing roms and am not sure what really happens...
EDIT: A Factory reset fixed it, sooo it's not broken... but it would be great if I can fix it without flashing and installing everything all over again...
Any suggestions?
I had liquid smooth installed on this phone with cwm before and it crashed and I managed to set my phone back to the newest version but it had no keyboard and it crashed randomly and the bootloader sometimes wouldn't work properly.
Now I finally used kies to recover my phone to stock tmobile rom but the bootloader will sometimes crash during and my phone dies about 15 times a day and sometimes it's when I'm trying to open an application and other times it's simply at lockscreen or in my pocket. What can I do to fix?
Please do a factory reset. After that, observe for few days until you can make sure the issue is not repeating. Do Not Restore any apps or backups.
If it does repeat, Re-Flash Stock firmware using Kies.

I tried the factory reset as well as dalvik cache wipe and within a couple hours without installing anything it was still crashing already. After a day I tried reinstalling using kies and it had less frequent crashes but they kept getting more and more frequent so now it is bad once again.
Even the bootloading screen crashes half the time after 6 or so seconds.
At first I thought maybe it's my power button that is a little funky because sometimes I press it and it double presses instead and then lightly tapping it can bring up the option to turn off phone, but I've seen my phone crash just from opening the messaging app and so I'm convinced it's some other issue.
Any other advice? I was thinking of install a custom rom from a 4.2 version of android just because 4.3 seems to be failing with both roms I've tried
Check if your power button is really flasky. Could be hardware issue based on what you have described.
Hi everyone. I have a sporadic problem with my vanilla note 3 from t mobile. Its a totally random occurrence but sometimes it will freeze(loose all input functionality) sometimes it will just stay black screen(no input taking) and usually (not always) it will reboot itself after this happens(sometimes a battery pull is required). Is this a memory leak issue? Thanks for any help. Sometimes it will run fine for a week or 2 and then all the sudden it will start acting up.
Was it rooted? I had a similar issue before mine was rooted, some of the system load programs that I didn't use would start up and then grab all resources. ..
Mine was doing the same thing while rooted with towelroot. Even after I unrooted it was doing the same thing. I didn't try a factory reset, but T-Mobile is sending me a replacement phone.

If it was my phone I would do cache wipe first, if still no go then full factory reset and I would then reinstall most important programs first.
Restarting phone every few days is not a bad idea on it's own and BTW when was the last time you cleaned garbage from it?
