Hi there,
i couldn't find my problem already discussed via the board search, so i'm posting it here. i hope this is the right board, if not please relocate.
i'm using the find7a since about 1 year now. the only updates i did for colorOS were the ones that have been proposed automatically via the popups. but these i did every time.
i have alwas had several issues with the phone/os, mostly random shutdowns without any reason. but at some point, these shutdowns suddenly declined and i got used to live with the few that still occur from time to time. but now i have a much bigger problem and i don't know where it came from:
few days ago, i got the popup that a new os-update was available. i had a little time so i did it instantly. without any problems the update was installed and after that the phone booted as always and nothing strange happened. 1 day later i recognized that something had changed. i wasn't able to turn on the wifi anymore! same goes for the bluetooth. also the automatic screen rotation (when you turn the phone in a right angle) didn't work anymore! but all of them DID work for the 1 day since i made the last update. so i assumed it has nothing to do with the new os-version (which is 1.2.9 btw). i didn't change anything in the phones settings, everything was the same. but from one moment to the other these three problems suddenly came up. maybe even more that i didn't recognize yet.
although everything worked fine for 1 day since the update, i thought maybe the update could be the problem after all. so i wanted to flash another version of colorOS. i tried the 2.0.8i which was considered stable by the official oppo board admins on friday. the flashing worked fine, colorOS 2.0.8i booted, but the problems remained! still no wifi, no bluetooth, no screen rotation.
next thing i thought: maybe it's a hardware problem. so i flashed another ROM (always making a factory reset + wiping all cashes and data from the internal storage first), i tried a few. they were all flashed successfull but most of them hung up during the first boot sequence (cyanogenmod, paranoid, nameless), i always got stuck in the loading screen. last one i tried was OMNI ROM, and this one finally worked, meaning i got it started. first thing i did was checking the wifi connection and what do you know? the wifi worked just fine, my home network was found immediately und the connection went all good! which means a hardware defect should be out of the question.
this brings me back to thinking the problem lies within colorOS. which would be very sad becaue i really like colorOS and i would like to keep using it!
reproduction of the issues:
to reproduce the problems, when you are on the home screen you simply have to drag down the shortcut-menu. then tap on "wifi" and watch the symbol turn into the one for "loading" (the circling line). and then: nothing happens. the loading symbol just keeps on circling on and on. when you slide the menu up and down again, the normal "wifi-off" symbol shows and wifi is not turned on.
almost the same goes for the bluetooth. only when you tap this icon, the loading animation stops after a few seconds und the "bluetooth-off" icon appers again, this time without sliding the menu up and down. bluetooth stays turned off anyway.
for the rotation problem you just need to got to an app, where you can type in some text, f.e. whatsapp or gmail. tap the message area to make the keyboard and the cursor appear and then turn the phone from vertical to horizontal. normally the display should rotate automatically, but it doesn't it just stays in the vertical view mode. of course the rotation ist activated all the time, so no need to advice that
the rotation problem does not only occur when trying to type sth. in but also when i want to watch videos (f.e. with the vlc player app). the video stays locked in the vertical mode, making the image very small of course. this is also very annoying!
so, what do you think could be the reason for my problems? and what could i do to solve them? i hope you can help me.
i attached a log-file which hopefully shows the bugs.
my current specs are:
find 7a
colorOS 1.2.9
TWRP 2.8.6.0

Hi, all. Please forgive a newbie's probable lack of etiquette.
So I've had my AT&T Tilt2 for a couple months now, and everything's been working beautifully. All of a sudden over the last few days, a few really annoying issues have popped up out of nowhere.
1. Out of the blue, Opera will no longer connect via WiFi. It had been working, now it doesn't
2. Periodically I'll look at my phone, and instead of "Start" in the upper left, it says "Messaging" and the clock is frozen at some earlier time in the day. A simple touch of the screen clears the problem, but it's annoying.
3. Sometimes, "Start" is replaced with "NewsBreak" and an error message ("Access is denied") has appeared as a running app in list in the upper right, but never actually pops up as an error message unless I choose it from the list. When I clear the error, "NewsBreak" goes away.
4. The sliding keyboard is sometimes unresponsive (messaging, internet, doesn't matter). To get it to respond, I have to click the physical "start" button at the bottom of the phone, then close the start menu. After doing that, the keyboard works fine.
All these problems started about the same time without having modified the phone in any way. Anybody ever seen these before?
Thanks!
p.s. Audio from the built-in speaker is really distorted. Is that normal for this phone, or is my speaker faulty?
Not sure why you have problems but windows does get corrupted from time to time. Just today I had to hard reset and load a saved known good back up when the phone would go to sleep and not be able to be turned on with out a soft reset.
Hard reset it, loaded backup, resynced and all is good now. Somthing must have got goofy.
Hy,
I have a big problem out of nowhere. The phone worked ok for more than y6 mths, while i haven't change the ROM. I found it blocked, not answering to any command, touchscreen or button. Soft reset it (red back-button) and it started but phone module was off, airplane mode on. I tried several times to switch them (phone, on, or airplane off) but unsuccessfull. Morover the touch screen is not getting any command but still the buttons work (phome, home, volume, midbutton). I hardSPL (OlixNet) and then installed a fresh rom (energy). the phone problem persists toghether with the screen problem which is appearing even immediatelly after starting up, or after 10 mins, varies. I also tried to disable the Sense, but same result.
ANother thing i have observed is that the battery drains very fast and the back low part of the device is getting warm after trying to use and few restarts..
I will try to give it an HTC rom to see if something's changeing.
Any of you had such issues with it? what should i do?
Thanks guys,

I could be also a cracked touchscreen in an early stage with a small crack, which happened to me.
Good luck!
Guys,
i too have the same screen problem,i tried changing various rom's still the problem persists.After new rom installation screen calibration needs to b done a number of times to finally start the mobile with home screen.
And then problem appears immediatelly after starting up, or after 10 mins. Touch doesn't respond correctly to my command instead it reads some other commands and finally gets stuck while other harware keeps working perfectly.
so, anybody could short out dis problem.......it seem to b a common problem to many people who keep changing there rom's frequently
Hi!
I brought my Xperia Play phone USED two years ago and I've never had any problems with it.
However, recently, the phone has started to freeze itself in "screensaver" mode (Where the screen goes black after 15 seconds and locks the phone), but the screen won't light up no matter which button I press. I've had to restart the phone every time this happens.
It's been behaving strange at start up as well, as it sometimes take 20 minutes just for it to turn on, while on other occasions, it won't turn on at all!
Is this problem caused by the battery, or is it the hardware?
Is it with stock firmware?

Yes.
I've never modded it or installed custom firmware/apps.
Have you tried factory resetting it?

Yes, but it didn't fix it. The problem still occurs.
tldr: Black screen, no display, everything works "under" (I can answer the phone etc). Not a flex cable problem because occurs randomly, regardless of the slider being open or closed. The problem also occurs during boot up, so rather not a software problem.
I think I have something similiar. Everything was fine until a few days ago the screen didn't want to unlock..or at least I thought it was that.
Basically the phone sometimes works OK but sometimes if I turn off (lock) the screen, it won't go back. To be precise, the phone works and if someone calls me I can pick it up moving the finger where the slider should be, it's just the display doesn't turn on. Same goes for booting, bootloader logo etc, so IMO it's not a software problem.
Strange thing is that it just randomly pops back, sometimes when I move the gamepad slider, sometimes when I put in a jack cable or if I hard reset the phone (remove battery). I've had problems with the flex cable in the past and this time I know that it's not it (no difference if I open/close the slider).
My guess would be some power supply or LCD driver IC issues, because the screen stops working almost everytime if I put the phone into the dock. Moreover, if the screen doesn't work, the orange charging LED is not working (green and blue are OK). The moment the screen starts working, the orange charging LED starts working too.
it's very strange but I'm used to electronics doing strange stuff. Just wondering if I should give a try disassembling the phone and trying to fix it or just buy a new one or something?
I might add that I have bought a new battery ~3 months ago, but it's been working fine to this point. I have tried if the same problem occurs with the old/original battery and it's the same.
well, any ideas?
edit: This video shows something very similiar (except the backlight): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4p0-kv1cxA
Same problem. And I guess this guy has it too.

Any help?
Hi everyone,
I'm having serious problems with my Wi-Fi on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo (SM-N7505). Whenever I click the button to activate the Wi-Fi, the icon goes from grey to a dull green (darker than the bright green which signals that a function is turned on), as it does when it's trying to turn itself on. Problem is, instead of turning on, it just stays in that state for a few minutes before reverting to grey. This has gone on for a while, and I've already tried several possible solutions which I found after online searches. I don't think it's a hardware issue (see point 1 for the reason), and I really hope it isn't, because my warranty has been voided due to rooting, so I can't have my phone replaced or repaired unless I pay for it (which I can't at the moment). So, I'm basically ignoring the possibility of hardware failure and trying every possible software solution, hoping one of them will work, otherwise I'm just stuck with no Wi-Fi. These are the fixes I've tried:
1) Take out the battery while the phone is on, wait a few seconds, then put it back in and boot the phone up. This used to work when the problem first presented itself a few months ago (which is why I don't think it's a hardware issue), and I've been since using this method to fix it whenever it happened again. But a few days ago, this method stopped working for whatever reason, so I was back to square one.
2) I tried renaming the data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf file, which seems to have worked for some people, but not for me.
3) I tried updating the version from Kitkat to the recent Lollipop, hoping that would fix it, but nope.
4) I tried deleting practically every single app one by one, hoping that one of them was interfering with the Wi-Fi somehow, but nope.
5) As a last resort, I tried a factory reset, but not even that worked.
This is basically the long and short of what I've tried to fix this... I might've skipped a few of the simpler fixes I tried (for example, I just remember I tried disabling "Smart Network Switch", which seemed to do it for some people), but the big stuff is all there.
I'd really like to get my Wi-Fi back, so if anyone could help me fix this thing I'd be really grateful!
Thanks in advance to anyone who will bother to reply.
same problem dude
Same problem...wifi and bluetooth not working...pls help us
Same Problem for me, Initally it works fine even after updating Official Lollipop update (OTA), but after few months now wifi & bluetooth are not working for me. And finally faced battery drain issue for past few days. Battery goes down upto 20% per hour even in idle condition. Then i rooted & installed Note Rom & even after i face the same problem. Is there any way to fix?
New RN8T eea stable locked bootloader. One day it worked cool and then it began. First problem screen never goes off, it works all the time and doesn't want to lock, despite the fact that in the settings sleep is activated after 15 or 30 seconds, no matter what. Strangely enough, the problem disappears in airplane mode, unfortunately it returns after turning it off. The second problem concerns the youtube application, the control panel like pause or time shift does not disappear automatically, it also turns on by itself at random moments. Again, the problem disappears in airplane mode, but returns after turning it off. Factory reset has already been done twice. I encountered a similar problem with youtube earlier on the Internet and apparently it helped disable or kill accessibility, unfortunately it did not help, even removal by adb did nothing. Alternatives like Vanced or OGYoutube work even worse because the control panel never disappears. I thought that both problems may be related to ghost touch, but after a short test nothing like this occurs. I was thinking about unlocking the bootloader and throwing a custom to check if these problems are also there, but once it's a friend's smartphone, two before I get permission to unlock it, it will be a week. In the end it will probably be done, but by then maybe someone will find some magic solution?
