I am experiencing what seems to be a reproducible phone crash while casting Google Play Music to my TV. If the phone goes to sleep while casting and I wake it, hitting volume down or up buttons while on the lock screen crashes the phone. I couldn't replicate the crash while casting YouTube, only Google Play Music. Also, no crashing when adjusting song volume from lock screen while not casting. When the phone crashes it goes straight to the boot animation, no splash screen shown, and gets stuck there. I have to force shutdown to get it to turn off.
Phone is s-off, rooted, running latest stock.
Anyone with a Chromecast willing to replicate this crash? Any ideas what's going on?
Thanks.

Yep. I've had it happen to me as well. I've never really tried to see what the issue may be though.
Its happening to me too. Are you using xposed mod to wake with volume button? I am and I'm thinking that might be the cause. I'll try it a little later and report back.
Edit. That's not the cause. I turned off that mod and it still happens.
No xposed mod or anything else. All I'm doing is trying to adjust the volume of the song that is playing, which one should be able to do while casting, and the whole phone crashes. Is this an HTC problem or Google problem? midnight assassin, what ROM are you running?

I am experienced the same issue last night while using Netflix. I tried adjusting the volume while using my chromecast and then my phone reboots into the HTC one screen. I have to hold the power button until it hard reboots.

I get this same issue on Verizon HTC One, although it seems the phone doesn't need to be actually asleep, and it will reboot itself - does not need a hard reset from me.
Non Rooted HTC One
I am also having the same issues when trying to change the volume of Play while the screen is off. I have a non rooted Verizon HTC One.
exact same issue with me when using volume rocker after phone goes to sleep while casting Play Music. I am using ATT phone rooted, s-off, running latest ARHD 31.6 rom. this seems to be an issue with chromecast as it only happens when casting.
Thanks for reporting. I'm trying to figure out if the problem is on Google's end or HTC's. My Nexus 7 doesn't have this problem while casting.
I emailed HTC support about it, with a link to this thread. I'll post back if I get a reply.
I've noticed the same issue. I'm running InsertCoin 6.0-5. It took two reboots before I figured out why my phone kept crashing. I've been using my Chromecast for a while, and I only recently went back to a Sense rom. I was running CM 10.2 until recently, and I can't recall having this issue on that rom, but I can't say for certain. I'm sort of glad to see that I'm not the only one having a problem.
Edit: Oh, and I just noticed this is the Verizon forum (came across this thread via Google). I have an AT&T HTC One.
It's still good to know that the problem is not carrier specific.
I did heard back from HTC and they just punted saying that it's a third party app, not their problem, and suggested uninstalling and reinstalling the app, which doesn't fix anything.
Anyone know how to report this to Google?

Typical manufacturer BS. If your OS crashes because of a third party app, then there's something wrong with your OS. A properly designed OS should be incapable of crashing because of a third party app. Never mind the third party in question in this case is Google... If it only crashes under HTC's spin of Android, then HTC broke something and needs to fix it.
I'm tempted to wait until the "sense-ified" release of KitKat comes out to see if that fixes the issue, since I'm waiting on HTC to fix the stupid purple hue low-light camera issue as well.
I have this very same problem, except i dont have to force shutdown. It just reboots sense (takes about 10 seconds) and then all is fine.
I'm rocking a stock (android 4.3) international simlock free unit.
Not rooted, no s-off, no nothing. Fresh out of the box.
Im still having this same problem on my HTC one X running ViperX 4.07. Has anyone found a solution yet?
I've recently experienced a similar issue when casting from the GP Music app to my Sonos speakers. When trying to adjust the volume from within the GP Music app, it causes the phone to reboot. I have an HTC One still running 4.3 (my carrier in the UK dragging their feet a bit!). I was wondering (hoping) whether this is still an issue with 4.4?
I've been using unlocked international M8 for more than 5 months, and I've never had any problems.
Few days ago I updated it to 4.4.4, and everything worked perfectly. But today I've noticed some strange issuses.
1. Screen turns on by itself
2. Auto-rotation is off, but screen is still rotating in every angle (including 180). I can even rotate screen on lockscreen, home screen or app list.
3. I can't browse the web because pages are constantly refreshing them by themselfes.
Phone is fully stock, never rooted.
Anyone has similar problem? Or does anyone know why is this happening and how to solve it? Any help is appreciated.
Random bugs after an update can often be resolved by backing up your personal data and doing a factory reset.
Got HTC one m8 with lollipop on board, and for couple of weeks now got problem with auto-rotate, option is off but screen without any reason started rotate, it's very annoying especially when someone is calling me. Done 3 times factory reset, without restoring backup, set up as new phone was fine for week now, but today took out phone from pocket and what happened scree was rotated. I've got no idea what or where is the problem as got all the same apps as before factory reset. I'm guessing is that stupid lollipop as on kitkat didn't have problems like that. Is it any possibility to downgrade the software and come back to kitkat, I've got everything stock and I'm not rooted as well. HTC CID_001.
I just bought my Asus zenwatch today and I updated it all the way to 5.1.1. I noticed that when I turn off the "always on" feature, when the screen is off and I tap the screen to wake it, a green screen flashes real quick before the screen wakes.
Has anyone else had this issue? I feel like when I updated to 5.1.1 alot of weird things have been happening. I was not able to connect for a while and the screen randomly turned off like if it got stuck.
I have already uninstalled and reinstalled and done factory resets on the watch and the phone. I am still getting the green screen flicker.
I don't know what I should try next. On the Asus website they have 2 previous updates and no android 5.1.1 on there. Can I somehow roll back to an older version of the zenwatch? or should I try to reinstall the Android 5.1.1 update?
Hi everyone, I dont know whether anyone uses wechat and comes across the same problem or not. Last week I flashed nAOSP_6.0_b03 for Xperia S, and found that wechat cannot run correctly. When I tap this app, it shuts down immediately, and even it does not shut down, I cannot use it neither because the photos in Moments cannot load some times, and even loaded successfully, it shuts down immediately. I reflashed for several times (b03, b02 and b01) but the problem still exsists. By the way, I have granted all permission to this app.
So, if there is anyone knowing how to solve this problem, could you please help me. Thanks.
