Screen flickers randomly (help please?) - Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers

Hey guys,
My screen keeps turning on randomly, and keeps turning off and on while using my phone
I was on havoc OS and it happened when I moved to Nitrogen OS. I tried clean installing multiple ROMs and now on AEX. I tried stock and vantom kernels. Nothing seems to be working. Any idea what's wrong and how to fix it?
P.S. its not a hardware issue. And it tends to happen more when I use heavy applications like pubg.
Would really appreciate the help x

Anyone?

If its happening on all ROMs even miui then it is a hardware problem
Use miflash to clean install miui without locking the BL to check.
If it still flickers then its a loose cable or something similar failing

Phone App force closing in the morning

Hi,
Not too sure if anybody else has had this problem. Every day morning, when I try to use my phone first time in the day, the phone app does not open. It opens and closes within half a second. It has been happening daily. A reboot fixes the issue for the moment.
However, need to check if anybody else has been facing this issue.
I am running stock 3.2.6.
To resolve the issue, I have tried hard reset, flashing stock OS, flashing 3.1.2 and then flashing the incremental OTAs, almost everything I have tried.
Looks like the issue has not been resolved at all. Tried switching off the doze mode as well. Not helping.
Anybody has any guidance/solution to this problem?

Make a clean install of the full 3.2.6 ie after wiping system, data and cache/Dalvic. Do not install the earlier version/s and update via OTA or flash the OTA.
Maybe you have some app that is conflicting with your phone app.

Seems like the issue was due to a specific app. U sure though.. I uninstalled a set of apps which I had installed before the issue started. Currently looks like it has been resolved.
Same thing is happening for me in 3.2.8 no matter what ... That too only in morning as Mr.Deepak said please help .. I have tried re-flashing ROM etc ... What could be the issue?
@deepakmasthi can u please let me know how did your issue get solved.. as I'm facing the same problem as u.. Please help

Screen freezes/crashes on a regular basis

Hi,
My OnePlus 3 keeps freezing or crashing, I don't really know; when I get to school and try to unlock the phone the screen won't come on, it just stays black, then I have to hold the power button to force a reboot. It happens really often, I thought it was because of my school's wifi but that's not it because it also does it when at home or after making a call. Sometimes it also randomly soft reboots. I honestly don't know what is happening, I'm running the latest OxygenOS Nougat.
Think about sending it in, sounds weird.

Did you update it via OTA? If so, try a clean install of the full ROM.

Are you running any custom kernels or a OxygenOS based ROM or just pure stock

Just the stock ROM, no custom kernels whatsoever
I think it has something to do with 4g switching to wifi. I switched the wifi off before I got to school and there was no freeze. Don't know how to fix it though, still unsure over the random reboots.

Same here, I can,t even configure the phone. Almost instant crash. I used flash method for bricked devices and nothing changed.
Hello. Have you guys found any solutions for this? I am on the latest Oreo Update (full stock) and this happens to me too. It also happened in the latest stable version of Nougat.
Same here! Full stock...
Recently I rooted it so I could read the logs, the key error was:
11-18 11:21:47.581 1176 1176 E AndroidRuntime: at android.view.WindowManagerGlobal.getWindowManagerService(WindowManagerGlobal.java:170)
I contacted support, but for now they just flashed a new 4.5.0 version on it. Problem still exists, so I contacted them again.
Exactly the same problem here (OP3), i tried with 4 or 5 combinations or Rom, Kernels. I completely back to stock + lock bootloader, the problem still persist . The support accepted to launch a repair process last week. They completed the process. It should returned to me today, i have no information about any problem they found on the phone...
I will tell you if they resolved the problem.

Hi Mate,
do you have an update from them? My phone hangs and goes black screen. Normal power on does not work most of the times. I had to use power + volume up to get the fast boot loader menu. This is really annoying.
Turn off wifi
Turning off WiFi, as suggested previously, seems to resolve the issue, i've exactly the same problem as above, flashing ROMS or Kernels did not solve the issue. It was strange for me as it all began once i upgraded my OxygenOS 4.5.1 with Nougat base to the new 5.0 with Android Oreo. Since then i started reporting system freezes anytime i turn off the screen or it goes to sleep. downgrading did not solve the problem of course. Could it be a hardware related problem??? Strange...
Cheers

Zuk Z2 Plus Touch Freeze

Hello Guys! I recently started to notice a very odd issue on my zuk z2 plus. I currently am running AospExtended ROM V6.4 (Android 9, Pie) with magisk installed. But this problem started before magisk was installed.
What happens is when i unlock my phone, after a mere 2 seconds, the touch absolutely freezes. I mean the screen is on, hardware buttons (U touch, Power & Volume Rocker) work, and i can even receive notifications, which means the phone is working, but the screen is not? If I turn off the device (Not Power Off, Just a tap of the power button) and unlock again, the touch resumes, but only for 2 seconds. This can be done infinitely. Reboots, shutdowns, forced power off, recovery etc all seem to go in vain, though some lucky reboots can save the day. Also, if I unlock the phone and then open google in a flash and start typing anything, it sometimes works and the touch resumes. This issue also persists in Safe Mode. ​
My issue is also very similar to the one seen here :
Video (Not By Me) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdMbbML9ECg
Forum : https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-zuk-z2/help/touch-issue-t3708645
Keep in mind that I faced the same issue on my previous rom, Resurrection Remix v6.0 Oreo. I can always provide additional information if anyone wants. If anyone has faced the same issue, or has the fix to this, please do tell me as it is very difficult to manage.
Did you change something in root partition. I had the same issue in msm xtended when i deleted some app from system but after dirty flash it was solved.

No, I did not do anything, also, the issue persists in safe mode too, so that means no 3rd party app is causing it.

It could be a rom issue, try posting it on rom thread. Sorry i may be of no help.
have you tried to QFIL to latest zui and observe if the issue persist in zui as well??
Same problem here. Never rooted my z2, don't even have twrp installed. Always have been on 2.5.104 ST rom.
Really frustrating issue caused by Lenovo. Will ever avoid any Lenovo devices in future.
****
Same problems happening with mine too
I think that my hardware problem but now i guess its every one problem slowly
As a matter of update:
I got my z2 repaired locally. Service diagnosed short-circuit failure of the sensor. Nasty /really wanted to use another word here/ production quality by lenovo. Cost me around $60.

Mi Mix 2 problem after new screen

I was running Havoc OS on my mi mix 2, I replaced the screen and the phone went into bootloop on restart. Tried many things and ended up doing a full wipe/format and re-install. Only stock MIUI will work, have tried Pixelexperience, Lineage, Havoc all start and begin setup and eventually the setup crashes and starts over. Aside from the screen being replaced, the only other thing I can think of is that the front facing camera isn't working...I think I screwed up the cable when re-installing. The stock MIUI ROM doesn't have any problem, it boots normal and the only noticeable issue is if you open camera and switch to front camera the camera app crashes. Any ideas how I can get a non-miui ROM to work?
I have this problem too. Maybe are you Russian? I simple don't know English well.

Sorry no
Any one else have ideas on why a new screen would prevent non-miui roms from working?
Same problem here. TWRP and OrangeFox blank screen, something is running in the background, I can feel vibration. Also tried PitchBlack Recovery Project, I have visual but touch screen unresponsive?
Maddening because I hate miui
Has anyone made any progress? Really would like to ditch miui but I am stuck after the new screen

Question Freezes and crashes with custom ROMs

Hey,
I have some minor and major lag issues (freezes and crashes), sometimes I even have to force restart the phone.
It happens with most of the customs ROMs that I have tried (HavocOS, ShapeshiftOS, Pixel Extended, etc.) but not every ROM (the only ones where it doesn't occur are ArrowOS and xiaomi.eu I think)
Even after flashing multiple times (mi flash + Clean flash), it happens with multiple apps, so I don't think it's apps related (maybe magisk or TWRP), and not ROM too.
Is anyone facing those issues, or is there any solution or thing that I can do to solve this problem.
Also, I'm having issues collecting logs because it is happening randomly and when it happens the log app I use crashes, but it is always the same issue (ANR Input dispatching timed out (...))
I have one set of logs where I got freeze (5-10 seconds) multiples times, I will attach the file.
I can provide anything to help solve this annoying problem.
Thanks in advance
faced that problem too with app Greenify (xiaomi.eu rom + Twrp Alpha +Magisk 23)
Still a pain to have to deal with that, is anyone here ready to help ?

Don't use it. That and Hyperion were on my stock Note 10+ that got boot looped twice, back to back, grrrrrr. Removed both on the 3rd load and still running that load over a year latter.
When you're seeing that kind of behavior you're just one reboot away from a boot loop
Havoc os was the only ROM with freeze's after the phone went in sleep mode, apps like YouTube freezing then. But on the other roms I didn't had that and i tested everyone on havoc I have installed the ROM 2 times with different firmwares but always a freezing of apps after deep sleep

Too bad I have to install others ROMs, I much prefer Havoc. But weird that it also appears with other ROMs
I have been having similar issues. I'm from the US and it happens often when I am using mobile data.

All pixel based custom roms crash while I'm on mobile data. I think it's a modem issue.

Same here in BC. I have found it seems to happen with LTE with ArrowOS (I haven't tried any other custom ROMs). I haven't had the problem occur at all on H+.
If you are rooted, check /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops, or dump logcat/bugreport if you aren't rooted, and search for "crash". On my device, it says that my modem crashes which causes every CPU core to stop and reboot.

I got that if it can helps
After some research, I think the problem is caused by @manuelbianco tree for alioth, that is widely used and correspond to which ROMs I have problem with.
Still doing some research on how to solve this because it removes ROMs that would like to use.
If anyone knows anything, I would like to hear it.

yes. That tree has some instabilities. Unfortunately most alioth developers are using that tree. You can try hentaios and arrowos. They are not using that tree

Yes I know, but I in my opinion there are not the best, hope it will be fixed soon enough.
i think i finally found a solution, if you have magisk installed, i reccomend uninstalling it and giving up root, because i did it and the freezing stopped, maybe trying an older model or just giving up magisk overall will stop the freezing, but i did remove magisk and the freezing stopped, completely. also, remove any custom kernels to prevent more freezes and other shenanigans from happening, cheers.
I am facing the same issue for a long time now. Others with same device(Poco X3) didn't have any problem, it's just me and it sucks!!!
