Phone goes to sleep and won't wake up.

It all started when I upgraded to a new rom. So the first thing I did was ditch the rom and install a new rom. I was running Black 3.0.1 and now updated to Black Satin.
The time it takes to lock up seems to very. I have had times where I could leave it for 4hrs and then hit the power button and it comes to life, other times I can have it sit for 30mins and hit the power button only to find it won't wake up. When it is in its locked up state, it won't even receive calls. It just sits there with the top right led blinking green. Its really getting frustrating.
In order to get it to come back I have to push the reset button on the bottom of the phone with my stylus.
I have been reading as many "lock up" threads as I can on the forum and so far it seems that most are to do with Push Mail. Which I don't use.
Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

I dont know if its a ROM issue as my does this sometimes (dont know about incoming calls as i dont get that many anyway) I am on the stock T-Mobile rom
I dont use push mail either
doesn't happen much to me (now i said i bet it does it all the time )
I think it seems to do it when i havnt soft restarted it for a while, so it could be that the lock up is due to memory or something and it just needs a soft reset to clear it down

I also have this problem, only a soft reset makes the phone respond. This happens sometimes when the phone has only been reset an hour previously.
It also happened once during the night and caused my alarm to not go off, so I only made it to the office for 10:30!!
Did you guys find a solution or did the problem just go away?

bump
got the same problem.

For me the problem went away only after I installed a new radio and new rom. I honestly don't know what was causing the problem. But it went away and I am happy. There might have been an issue with an installed app, but I never did find any app that directly caused the issue.

[Q] unresponsive screen after upgrade

I have hadthis problem since I upgradedfrom at&t 1.6.. this problem manifests regardless of what rom iam running..
Basically, it happens after I use (either receive or make a call) the phone... if you bring the phone close to your face to activate the proximity sensor and turn off the screen,the screen never comes back on. No matter what I do, can't use the device after that... I know the device itself is NOT frozen because if the other part hangs up... I can still hear the notifications for email or other events and even hear the ringtone if someone calls... I just can't do anything about it because the screen stays dark and in responsive..
I went from at&t 1.6 with 31 baseband and firmware to 305 using QDL from sreakdroid..I immediately noticed the issue so thought I would upgrade to the official 318 but still had the same issue... I then went to Steve's 1.5.1 but still the same behavior... I have done data wipes and repeated the 305-318-1.5.1 upgrades with the issue present in all roms. . At this point Iam frustrated as the device cannot be used past the first phonecall..
Any ideas or help will be appreciated.

Try to recalibrate your screen bro.

Just did thescreen calibration... didn't solve the problemm... the fact that the problem happens only after/during a phone call leads me to blueberry somethingelse is causing it... there are no other issues with the screen prior to a phone call... plus I would think that I should be able to wake up the screen with the power button and even that doesn't work???
Is there a way to go back to US ATT 31 rom?

phone dialer crash

Hey Peoples
Ive got android 2.2 (updated from telco) and i've noticed occasionaly the phone dialer will crash.
Someones it will not answer a call when I try slide my finger over answer (or hangup if i want to not answer).
Also after a call it doesnt always want to hang up when i press the hang up button, and the call stays connected.
The above problems are quite random but somewhat anoying. Just wondering if anyone else has the same problems ? And does anyone know of any other dialer software I should try using ?
Thanks heaps
Justin

I am having the same random problem. Randomly sms apps (the built in one and, i.e., handcent, stop working. Any suggestion or tip?

Factory reset would be my first step .
jje

Uf! I do not have such severe problems as justin911 (OP).
But I do get dialer crashes and after that the Dialer app is draining my battery thru partial wake.
Once it crashed when I was in contacts and searching for somebody, other times I got called by someone and after 2-3 sec of talk time my phone automatically hung up the call (I called him back 5 times, same thing happened, then I just rebooted the phone and it worked).
For me to get the dialer back and working normally I have to reboot the phone.
This problem occurs randomly and it started doing this in v2.2.1 (Doc's XWJS3+speedmod kernel), but thankfully up until now it only occured 3 times.

Hi!
I finally found a solution to phone dialer crashes (I did not have a dialer crash for over a week now).
According to marcedli and his post the solution is the "Memo.apk" file that needs to be in "/system/app" (everyone should have it, because it is Samsungs own app).
I did not have it because I flashed my own rom from Doc's Kitchen and I do not use it, but apperantly it is needed by the phone app.
I copied "Memo.apk" into "/system/app" folder, rebooted my phone and everything works now and I never had a dialer crash that it would then force my phone to stay awake.
If anyone uses the XWJS5 FW, here is the link to CWM updatable version for "Memo.apk" (or just extract the file and copy it using Root Explorer):

@justin911 (OP):
It is also possible that in your telco's ROM, "Memo.apk" file (it is "Memo" app in the app drawer) is not included, if it is included it is also possible that some other file was not included into the ROM that is needed by the dialer app or some telco's app is messing with the dialer app, not sure.
The solution would be that you flash Darky's ROM or use Doc's ROM Kitchen.
I hope I helped you or at least guided you on a right track!

After two weeks I got the partial wake of Dialer again.
It woke up my phone for 3h and drained my battery.
There is obviously something else going on for these Dialer crashes.

i have the same prob.
i just do a factory reset and dialer crash prob disappear.

I'm having similar problems.
Sometimes, my phone just won't call anyone. When I call a number, there's just a long almost silent noise - and then it just hangs up without any error message. Almost seems like it doesn't get a "line free" signal.
Reboot fixes it, but it annoys the hell out of me.
Flashed to JPY via spoofed Kies...
Anyone got an idea what this could be? :/

It's me again!
And this time I'm for 100% sure how to fix the partial wake usage on "Dialer"!
"Phone/Dialer" drains your battery when you're making a phone call thru the dialer/call log/favorites and then when you finish your call you just push the "power" button to end the call and/or lock & turn off display (and you do NOT wait for the phone app to go back to home screen or you do NOT press the "back" button). The phone app is now still working in the background thinking you're still on the phone and it's waking your phone up.
To "fix" this when ending a call thru Phone/Dialer always press the "back" button or make sure that you're in your "home screen" and not in the phone app (dialer/call log/favorites).
And I don't know if the Phone/Dialer is still running if you press the "home" button instead of the "back" button.
And I don't know if "Memo.apk" fix helped.
And I'm sorry, but I don't know any other solutions for your Phone/Dialer problems.

i had this problems on 2.2 which made me go for a change....now i just flashed 2.3.3 ill test it out for the week hoping to get rid of that problem

Unfortunately, System UI has stopped. Liquidsmooth 2.9

Recently, whenever someone calls me, that message pops up. It constantly pops up whenever I make it go away. Decided to restart my Nexus, but it still was there. However, if I press the dialer, the error actually stops and my phone works normally. Is there a particular reason why it does this? And possibly a solution? Without factory resetting?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Unfortunately, same thing just started happening here, with LiquidSmooth 2.9 on my Tmobile Note 2...
Started when a phone call came in, has not stopped since.
Even after reboot.
Phone is now unusable...
UPDATE - Pressing Dialer actually stops it.
It is just a bit tricky to press OK, then try hitting the dialer button quickly.
But it does seem to fix it.
Can now use phone again.

Phone randomly locks itself

Hi guys
I recently bought an OnePlus 2. With the original firmware, I experienced a very strange and very annoying issue: My screen randomly turned off (e.g. during a chat in WhatsApp). The screen turns off and I have to turn it on again by pressing the power button. Then I enter my PIN to access my phone again and it locks AGAIN. This happens like 10 times in a row, then I have to reboot the phone and it was OK again. I seriously don't know what triggered this issue.
However, recently I got pissed of because I tried to call one of my customers and as soon as I entered my PIN and tried to open the phone app, the screen locked again and I almost threw away my phone. Damned troll.
So I decided to try another ROM as I thought it was an OS-related issue. Now I'm running Exodus Android 6.0.1. I did a clean install and guess what: The issue came back on this ROM...
In my opinion there's only something both installations (my previous 5.1.1 stock ROM and my current 6.0.1 ROM) have in common: I've been using XPosed with Amplify, Greenify and XPrivacy. Other than that, I have no idea what it might be.
Have you encountered the same or a similar issue? If so, were you able to solve it? How did you solve it?
I just uninstalled Amplify, as I think it stops somehow the Gyroscope service, that's why it locks randomly. I'll check if the issue appears again...

I think I have good news for you guys: I guess I was able to locate the issue.
I noticed it always happened when I was holding the phone in the hand I had a ring on my finger. Then I found out the phone has magnetic sensors (for flip covers).
I downloaded the Xposed module "Magnet Sensor Control", the bug hasn't appeared so far!
I hope I was able to help you guys with my findings. This thread may be closed now.
