A Brief Overview:
When the phone goes to sleep (either after a time limit or manually hitting the power button to force sleep), it doesn't ring for incoming calls. The screen does show up with the details of the incoming calls but it doesn't ring or vibrate. However, if the phone is awake (the screen is on the home page), then it rings.
ROMs tried:
StreakDroid 2.2.2, 2.4.4
Stock ROMS 2.2.2, 2.3.3 (appropriate recovery installed)
Troubleshooting steps tried:
Nandroid Backup
Factory reset
reinstall the correct rom (Sometimes StreakDroid, sometimes Stocks)
Restore data
Root
Manually put the phone to sleep can call it only to find that the screen lights up with incoming caller details but no ring.
Waited for the phone to sleep after 30 seconds (that's the setting), then called it again. Caller details show up but no ring.
Prevented the streak from sleeping and called again. It rang this time.
It's similar to this but that resolution talks about wm, not android.
Cannot find a way to fix it and it's bugging me a lot. There are no calling profiles installed. I once used inEar app which managed ringing profiles but that was long ago and done a factory reset after that. Dunno if that messed it up or not.
I don't think it's an issue that others are facing... but it's been going on for a while for me. I don't wanna to believe that it's a hardware issue because it rings everytime the phone is awake and message notifications (txt, mms, whatsapp, email etc) work even when sleeping but incoming calls don't.
Can anyone help me? Thanks

I tried Permission Denied, which told me that an app had access to my calls.. I couldn't remove that access for that app but I cleared the data for that app and uninstalled. That worked perfectly.
The app in question is called GBlocker. It blocks calls from unwanted people. I think any app that can block calls might have the same problem so be careful when you install them.
I seem to be having pretty much the same problem, stock 2.2.2 because this streak has me very confused.
@Winggie: Switch ROMs. Seriously. StreakDroid development has stalled and the ROM has some bugs that haven't been fixed unlike other Gingerbread ROMs such as DSC.

Good day all. I will start by saying that I am far from the techno wizards that appear to be here on this site. I know that it is stated to research which I have done but unable to post on the development sites as I am a nubie but that wouldn't have helped @ all as what I read seem like a total foriegn language to me. I would like to have my Streak upgraded to Gingerbread or higher but don't know where to go to get er done. The following quote is what I posted on my Goldwing sites as there are a bunch of very knowlegable gents there abouts & one of them led me here. Here is my problem "I have been a little frustrated when it comes to some of the technology today. Also Frustrated with Dell & my wireless service provider. I bought a Dell Streak5 that was locked to Rogers, a little over a year ago & was able to switch from the Blackberry to the Streak5. At the time Rogers didn't offer the Dell but now they do but they say because I bought the phone directly from Dell(@ double what Rogers wants for it), then it is up to them to upgrade the OS. Unfortunately due to the fack that I have done a fully default on my Dell account (not just the phone by the way), they won't do anything for me either. I know that if I want to increase the OS of my computer, I just take it to a computer store & they will upgrade to the higher model (for a price of course). Does anyone out there know how I can upgrade to gingerbread or ice cream Android on my own? I presently have Fryoto 2.2.1. Dani's phone (which we just got) was updated to 2.3.4 less than 2 weeks after we got it. It is beginning to look like I may be stuck with a 600 dollar phone that is massively outdated & I really do love this big phone." Thanks all for your help in advance. Angela aka fysty-1
If you did research, you didn't research hard enough. The basic information is in the wiki or a thread titled "Everything you wanted to know about the Streak but were too busy bricking it". The specific information for the ROM you want to use can be found in that ROM's thread.

Please excuse my ingnorance but if had read my post you would have seen that I stated that listening you folk talk is like my walking into a UN meeting with noone speaking english. I realize that you all are uber Geeks but I didn't know a geek was so unfriendly. I just asked if any of you all could point me to someone who DOES understand your language that could do the upgrade for me. I can barely use a computer & I do not run in the Hacker circles. I am a senior on a pension who happens to have & love the Streak. And because Dell nor Rogers will upgrade it from Froto, I need some to do it for me. (@ my cost BTW) thanks Angela
You misunderstand me. I AM trying to help you by telling you where to find the information. To do things like this requires reading and understanding what you're doing, otherwise you will turn your Streak into a very expensive paperweight. So if it seems like Greek to you, stay on Froyo and enjoy your Streak.
These are the facts of the matter. No amount of kvetching at me is going to change them.
Strephon, thanks so very much. Yes I may have misunderstood (not unusal fo mehehehe),but what I was asking, due to my very limited abilities in the field, I was asking if any of your 4mil member in westen Canada could link me to a business or individuale who could do this for me. When I mentioned being on a pension, I was refering to a Person with Disabilities pension so getting around is difficult. Thanks again, Strephon for your help. Angela
I'll leave it to the Canadian contingent to answer with certainty, but I'm not aware of businesses doing the upgrade.

Hey mate, I'm on Stock 2.3.3 (the official ROM from Korea - "Olleh") and it still happens. I don't think it's a hardware issue. One thing I've noticed, the mobile goes to "mute" and then rings and mutes again when not sleeping. When sleeping, I think it goes to mute when an incoming call is received and then doesn't do nothing after. The mute situation never happens when i receive texts or other notifications.
Odd, because I've never encountered that on any ROM I've used. The fact you are encountering this issue on multiple ROMs does not rule out the possibility of a hardware problem and in truth strengthens the possibility. However, I believe it to be a software issue since I am willing to bet that if you went back to Froyo right now the issues you are having would stop.

Mate, I agree with you totally that it means that hw is the problem but the reason I'm more inclined to believe that it's a software issue is because:
When I select "Vibrate always", it stops vibrating as well when in sleep mode.
When I select silent mode manually (volume to 0) then the phone vibrates even when sleeping.
The notifications work properly which means that the hardware is working fine. This includes any incoming txt, mails etc. It even rings for like 1 second for an incoming call and then mutes automatically. Looks like some app is manually putting it to mute on ringing. Although I can't find the root of the problem.
Is there an app that can read each setting that the phone has and allow me to view and edit them so that I can narrow down the problem?
I haven't found a dual boot option or else I would have tried Froyo or even eclair (I think it was shipped with it). I don't wanna lose my game progress and i kno titanium backup and backup pro can help but sometimes they fail too.. and that's wot i'm concerned about.
Permissions Denied will allow you to view all the permissions an app requires, and selectively block those permissions you do not wish to give to an app. I'm not sure if that's what you're actually looking for, but it's about as close as I can think of at this time of night here.

Hi guys.
Relatively new to the S3, but I have done a little bit of playing around with Android devices before.
I spent yesterday researching the forums, then manged to root and install Clockworkmod Recovery, and have since flashed the latest nightly of Cyanongenmod 10.
Love it so far, the only problem I've come across is that when I receive an SMS the phones backlight does not come on, which is a bit annoying because I often have it on silent and that's how I see I have a message.
Anyone know if this is just a setting I've missed, a bad flash, or just not supported? I've had a good look around the settings etc and can't seen to see an option anywhere.
Also, I read about the 'phone goggles' mode in cyanogenmod 10, but can't see that in settings either. Am I missing something?
Thanks.
Anyone?
I've found a setting within the messaging app which performs a 'wake and unlock' function if you enable quick reply. It's still not ideal though. Any help would be VERY much appreciated

Not possible on the stock messaging app. Get an app like gosms from the market, It has the option.
What do you mean by phone goggles?
Ahh that's a shame, I really liked the stock messaging app. Nevermind though, thanks for the help.
I saw Phone Goggles in the demo vid for Cyanogen, it was used for filtering communications at certain times, they said it was aka 'drunk mode' haha.

You mean quite hours? Settings->sounds->quiet hours.
or profiles?
settings->profiles?
From what I understood, it was a feature to say, stop me sending a message between certain times to certain numbers etc, I assume that's where the 'Drunk Mode' comes from ha.
Not something I think I'd use, just quite a cool feature I fancied having a play around with, maybe I misread though.
If you mean the LED, there should be LED options within the CM settings
I always added it manually for SMS, whatsapp, facebook etc and it worked fine.
I just can't remember on the top of my head right now.
Out of general curiosity, do you not prefer having the notification led light up rather than the screen turning on constantly. That's what I hate most about the stock messaging app on touchwiz roms, the backlight turning on after every message.

Personally I quite liked having the screen light up, maybe it's just because I'm used to it after using an iPhone for a few years.
Thanks though guys, good and fast answers like always
Hi xda Community,
at first - BIG THANKS TO ALL OF YOU ACTIVE CUSTOM ROM GUYS!!
With all your FAQs, Videos and postings, you made it possible - and easy - for me, to get rid of the annoying Sony ROM by rooting and installing a custom rom.
Currently I am running CM10 FXP230 on my Xperia U. I know it is not a stable version, but still a great improvement in speed for me and also the first ROM i discovered during my internet research for an alternative to the slow stock sony stuff.
However, i am facing some problems during the daily usage of my phone, perhaps one of you can support me during finding a solution for some of them.
1. Updating ROM
Pretty basic question, just need a confirmaton that i understood it the right way. I download the new Version of the custom rom (e.g.fxp232), copy the zip onto the smartphone and reboot into recovery mode. There i use CMW to first wipe cache and delvik cache, then select and install new version from zip.
Correct way so far?
What about the Google Apps? Do i have to reinstall them too?
Do i have to backup the SD card data and my apps,?
2. The Camera Fix
At the beginning i thought that i could live with an inverted camera due to the fact, that i am not taking many of them with my phone. but during the last weeks i had to face the facts - its important from time to time :cyclops:
During my search in this forum i found a user linking to a file called "FXP231_CM10_CamReverse_Fix".
Does this work only with FXP231, or also earlier and later versions?
How do I install it, like gApps in CMW?
3. Alarm Clock
I am using my phone as an alarm clock almost every day. Its plugged in to recharge during the night. Sometimes the phone crashes during the night time and the alarm is not going off. The display turns dark, no reaction to any button i plress, only the little signal light at the top right is glowing constantly. I have to take out the battery every time and make the same changes in settings over and over again.
Is this the "deepsleep" problem everyone is talking about? Is it connected to the cpu settings - I did select "conservative" there. Whats causing the problem?
4. Dial Pad
Every time i am dialing an unknown number the touchpad is hardly responding. It can take up to 5 minutes to enter all numbers and dial. I already deactivated the T9 contact search, still no improvement. Anyone any similar expieriences?
5.General Custom ROM Question
During my journey through this Community I found out, that there are a lot of different roms available. Some - with only minor changes - based on other custom roms, some based on sony.....whatever. Right now i am totally confused that ROM to use (if the above mentioned problems cant be solved!!)
I just need a quiet fast and reliable ROM to use in daily life - well this is everyones wish i guess......
So what am I doing with my phone? Basically I am just using my phone to call people, use whatsapp, check mails, manage my appointments and take a spontaneus picture from time to time. No Video, Twitter, Facebook, Games and what else is out there...........and no big experiments and time to backup, upgrade and reset my phone stuff every week.
Should I go back to CM9?
Cant I install a "normal google android" rom? Might sound stupid, but isnt there some kind of "pure" rom for all phones, that gives you the same comfort as the sony stock rom (-> update and functionality) ?
Even if there is not THE correct answert to this question, maybe some of you can at least suggest some interesting ROMs, that might fit
uff.....long wall of text, hopefully I could point out my problems good enough to motivate you to spent your time to answer them.

First of all, this is a long question and you must donate me for answering. Haha. Just joking but you need to consider yourself and get experiences.
1. Reboot CWM and install the ROm amd Gapps needs to be reinstalled.
Wipe dalvik cache and cache then reboot. You're updated.
2. It is for FXP231 and so you must install 231 in order to have fixed
3. Go to deepsleep so much in CM10. Some said pretty awesome because it saves battery but it is in deep sleep so you can't really control your phone no more. Like you can't awake in the morning because you are in deep sleep.so hard to wake up. And yes your problem is deep sleep.
4. Use Go Dialer or Touchpal Dialer. Download from Play Store. It will make you better. Stock is still laggy and under development.
5. I run SlimCM which is CM9 and everything works except sound bug and FM Radio. Sound bug can be fix with Viper4Android. Run CM9 which is great, fast and stable.
And I really want to advice you is find out more yourself. It's more getting trouble but you will become more awesome I answer your question short so don't mind me about that but if you need anything, just quote and ask. Bye.

Sorry for asking again, but most times i just dont have the needed phrase to search for - combines with 50+ pages of results it really drives me crazy sometimes. After making a, lets say really stupid mistake, installing the rom in the beginning, it took me almost ages to find the threat to return to the beginning and reinstall it properly.

Thanks a lot for reading and answering my questions anyway, you got yourself a honest "thanks button klick" as a reward :laugh:
Okay, so now i know that "my deepsleep problem" is kind of a reversed version of almost everyone eleses deepsleep problem. Everyone wants his phone to enter deepsleep, i want to prevent that.
Will this app solve the problem? Deep Sleep Battery Saver
I mean, if I can set the phone to "wake up" short before my alarm time it might work, right?
I read something about Apps causing the problem, especially messenger apps. Can anyone verify that information, or is it some random guess?
Edit:
Also I found out, that the Phone should not enter deepsleep while being charged. Unfortunately this seems to happen to mine over and over again.

DS battery saver is the one for some phones that cannot go into deepsleep. It force the phone to Deep Sleep with some profiles to make your phone not deaf. Good app and I'm using it.
Blah blah blah, anyway, it's the ROM problem I think but you can simply reply FXP's CM10 about the fix No worries. I think you can fix nothing at this stage. And also I thought Alarm app crashing amd screen not waking up is not only the Deep Sleep issues but also the rom bug of excessive Deep Sleep or alarm app not fully functional. Please reply to the rom thread and wait for answer! High Five!!

I know there has been a few threads about this but I kind of know the reason to my problem but I'd like it resolved.
It's caused by an application from the GO Launcher EX people, Go Battery & Power Widget.
So, I know this is APP specific but I'm figuring that it's also phone specific as I don't see anyone else having this problem in specific with it in the past few months or updates. Last was march.
It worked just fine up until yesterday when it started freezing the phone with the screen on and the plastic LED thing underneath the menu buttons on my Xperia U, if it doesn't freeze it randomly reboots whenever it feels like it and I'm quite positive this will in the long run harm my battery, I might just be paranoid but I think that it has affected or overloaded a few of the LEDs inside of the screen I can now find 3 dead pixels, I know that ain't much but it's kind of annoying as you may guess.
So, anyone know what I could do to solve this issue without removing the program or if it's a compatibility issue with something else, any help at all would be swell - I would remove it if it were not for the fact that when it did work that it saved my battery quite dramatically.
Thanks in advance and thanks for reading my wall of text.

I just recently re-flashed my phone due to an annoying "update available" issue that wasn't removable, forcing me to create a backup, which I just now restored into the phone (It doesn't appear to be there now but the issue persist so now I'm confused as to what might be causing it)
Once again, I'd really like this resolved rather than factory reseting the phone and then start to re-fill it again.
Not quite counting the freezes and reboots, but it's well over 50 just today.
Hmm as u said that the problem existed even without go launcher so try logging when the screen freezes... We might see the problem there... Anyways I know you said you don't want to factory reset and stuff... But 50 above is harmful so I think flashing stock is a good idea
Cheers,
AJ
Have you tried removing the app itself to see that it stops freezes?
If so, then it is clear the app causes the problems. Then you should contact the developers of it, they shall have an email on google play.
If not, then I suggest you to go for a logcat and try to figure out what is the cause Sounds really weird and a stock reflash (without restore) seems to be the solution for me

I decided to re-flash it, went well and it's feeling healthier.
The problem was Xprivacy.

I had some freezing issues even without it, but I mucked about and re-flashed and now it feels better, but I'm still sure it was Xprivacy. Don't know why though.
Hi everyone, Im a bit desperate right now, since Ive searched all the internet (or I tried) and all of xda, but couldnt find a solution to my problem. Also Im unsure what causes it (ROM, device, some app,...?), which is why Im posting in the general section. So on to my problem:
I have a Oneplus 6, with the most current official LOS release. Sometimes when I unlock my phone, some random app will start. I said semi-random, because its mostly Instagram or Authy, probably depending on which of the two I had opened most recently (actually sometimes both will open; I see Authy for a split-second and then instagram will appear and stay), but never (as far as I remember) other apps, even if I had antoher one open before it happens.
Now, I recently discovered that I can reproduce the behavior if I go to developer settings and change the display cutout setting to something different. It will reliably happen. So the screen goes black for a second, (probably re-drawing the UI) come back and Instagram will open. This led me to the idea that the UI crashes in a way. When it happens after unlocking the device, its always black for a second as well, while usually the screen is just there.
I only found evidence of the problem online regarding Samsung phones, mostly using Nova. Im using Nova as well, so that may be the cause. But I dont know for sure.
Does anyone know this problem? Why is it always one of those two apps, that appear? Can a log help me find the issue?
Things I already tried: factory resetting and setting up Nova from the ground.
Help very much appreciated
EDIT: I dug through the log file a bit and found something interesting (as far as I can say, Im far from an expert). I attached the relevant part, may be someone can tell me what happens?

You said factory restore not reflash buddy use the appporiate wording you have a expensive phone you want to modify it and when issues happen you come here if you stood on stock with no modifications or custom rom you wouldn't have this issue I would suggest simply using an alternative launcher

look, if you do not want to help me, thats perfectly fine, then please just dont post. I reflashed the ROM when factory resetting and flashed OOS in between.
If I wanted advice on which ROM or launcher to use, I would have asked for it.
