Has anyone had a problem with this? Since I got my 3vo two days ago I've had it freeze twice and i had to do a battery pull each time, I also just had my phone not be able to wake up, tried holding the power button down because I thought maybe it shut down randomly but nothing would happen. I ended up doing a battery pull, is anybody else having trouble?
Also, Apps like launcher pro and music beta seem to be lagging...

Do the capacitive buttons turn on and off? when you press the power button.
No they didn't

Mine did that last night. Had to do a battery pull. Any thing significant about the capcitive buttons coming on and off only when hitting the power button?

I had this exact issue and I had to do a 30 day exchange, sprint tech support said it was hardware issues.

Mine did that, the capacitive buttons came on and off but the screen didn't, sometimes they wouldn't i made an exchange, i have a strong feeling it's hardware related, so I would recommend you exchange.
Mine has had this problem since day one but ever since I started traveling internationally and running it in airplane mode with the WiFi left on, I can't get it to crash!!! Now the only thing that's bothering me is the camera freezing after taking a shot. I don't know why the phone has decided to play nice, the only big change besides the airplane mode business is that I uninstalled Text Battery Widget.

Same thing happened to me, I exchanged and my new one has been working perfectly.... plus the speaker is louder than the last one for some reason which is a +

I was installing some apps on my phone and suddenly the screen turned off. When I tried to turn it on, nothing happened. I then let the phone sit for a minute and still nothing would happen until I noticed the buttons turning on and off. I tried swiping where the unlock would be when the buttons come on and it worked. I could tell from the tactile feel. I then rebooted the phone by pressing and holding the power button and guessing where restart would be. The screen works again.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? First time for me.

I had it happen to me once, when I first got the phone. Exactly as you described, except I had to battery pull. I was using an app called Screen Filter, so I could dim the capacitive lights. I figured it had to do with that app, so i removed it. I haven't had it happen since. I'm not sure if it was Screen Filter that caused it or not, but I haven't had it happen again since I removed it. Either that, or just a coincidence.
Happened to me once when I was messing with a root script that had a bug. Ended up clearing some of my app data too. Seems like a common "brain death" state that the phone can get into. I'm pretty sure it's software related and nothing to worry about.

it happens to me often, and I too have screen filter... but that isn't the cause of the problem (i got it to dim the buttons but it doesn't work on those yet).
I'm not sure what the problem is, but you can eventually turn the screen back on and reboot it - just keep at it. Do you have anything plugged into the headphones jacks BTW? If you do, and you try to reboot, it'll hang. It's done that to me a few times so I unplugged the headphones everytime
Started happening to me after i installed either switkey x or the amazon app, i am not sure but i think that's what caused it
SwiftKey works fine for me... try reinstalling it. Same far any other apps that cause issues, make sure the download was good and reinstall.
If the phone freezes, remember that the only ways to get a try restart is a dead battery or battery pull. Wifes phone froze and shut off, would not restart until a battery pull.
Good luck!

Happens to me too and it is really irritating.

It works perfect for dimming (well turning off) the buttons, check your settings!
so i keep having the same problem even without the swiftke y installed tried to reboot and even factory reset no luck. did you find any solutions.
used to happen a lot when i had aosp roms on my old hero
Are you guys overclocked?
I am not overlooked and I exchanged to another phone.

Damn....I may have to do that. Sprint allowed you to exchange with no hassle? It seems to happen so randomly that I don't think my Sprint Store will exchange it if they can't reproduce it.

I'm overclocked but the issue @ hand is software related. When I had the OG Evo, certain kernels would cause the screen to act in the same matter stated in the op. A lot of bugs that people report would be resolved once we get perm. Root.
My ''xDU4L C0R3 SH00T3Rx'' shot you down in 3D!
SO this has happened to me and I am freaking out thinking its the aosp rom. how long did it take for the screen to light up again. it been like two hours for mine.
Anyone else getting this? Seems to be only the top half of the screen it does this randomly. Takes a reboot to fix it. I am rooted and no matter the ROM tgis happens 2-3 times a week

Sounds like a problem. I would definitely bring the phone in to be checked out.

Happened to me once with my first one, and twice with my second. Not enough times to really make me care.
i've experienced unresponsive issues
So i've experienced the screen randomly becoming unresponsive. So i know its lot locked because i've been in phone calls when it happened, or i can see animations working, or maybe a download bar progressing and then the screen will do nothing at all. I can shut the screen off and back on but then not be able to unlock it. But then i've had the same happen, but i would then be able to unlock the phone only for nothing beyond that to respond. This does eventually go away/stop, Its odd as it makes me think its the screen at times, then software at times (sometimes i cannot hold the power to restart/power down).
i have a similar problem where my lower part of the screen becomes unresponsive randomly at times once a day and then goes away after reboot . im not rooted
My LGOG E970 is overheating when I put it on my pocket and the battery is discharging very fast. Using the headphones I noticed that it was getting unlocked because it was dialing.
I configured pattern lock and the power button now instantly locks also quad core eco mode is on. However the phone still overheats. I installed Freegee, mention it in case it is relevant.
I suspect that the power button is constantly pressed when in the pocket and the screen keeps turning on. This brings me to my question: Is there a way to use two button unlock on this device? Like pressing power and then volume up to turn the screen on.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Make sure to run a program such as Better Battery Stats to see if a rogue app is actually causing the overheating and battery drain, I'm willing to bet that is the case.

Yes, you are right. There was an app draining the battery.
The same night I posted this I played around and removed some widgets and change them with others, the next day the problem was over. I suspect it was the Yahoo weather widget that came as factory default, but I can't confirm.
Now I'm using SnowJB with MysteryEmotionz kernel and it gets ice cold However I'm having issues with the external SD and WiFi but that's another story.
Thanks a lot!

I got my HTC One from AT&T about a week ago and have been extremely happy with it over all, until yesterday when all the sudden the vibration motor got really week. I can hear the motor spin when an event such at touching the home button should trigger vibration, but it can barely rattle the phone. Is this something that would be considered a serious enough problem to have the phone exchange at the AT&T store without having to pay the restocking fee?
I would assume there wouldn't be a problem..they will probably just compare the vibration with the phones on display with yours to see if it's an issue. Usually someone in the store has the device as well for comparison.

I just got to work and it is definitely a problem it seems, it will vibrate for notifications but there is no longer haptic feedback on pressing the home/back buttons or on the key press on the HTC Keyboard. If this doesn't constitute a hardware defect I honestly don't know what could.

Sounds like you have power save mode on bud. You can edit what power save mode turns off in the power settings menu.

That sounds like a mistake I would make, but that doesn't seem to be the case this time. Power Saver is off and it still only vibrates for notifications, even after rebooting and even trying a factory reset to see if somehow I had messed something up accidentally.
Hey guys! Just got my g5 last week and have so far been loving it- fastest Android phone I've used, and a huge improvement over its horribly buggy predecessor. That being said....
I've noticed a crazy unlock delay, but only when it's right after locking it (sometimes I shut off my screen and am like "Oh wait! I totally forgot to do X). When I go to turn the screen on, it stays black for awhile, and then shows an unresponsive screen for second or so before unlocking.
Sometimes it's just an extra second, other times a good 5-10 seconds. However, if I lock the phone and leave it alone for even 20-30 seconds, the screen turns on immediately. Has anybody else run into this? Is this normal?

I use the tap to wake feature a lot and sometimes when I tap it it doesn't do anything and I end up tapping it again and sometimes again after that. On my note 4 I used the wake lock app on it because Samsungs are known for slow wake and I'm using that app now too. It's in the play store. Now the tap to wake never fails. Granted your phone never sleeps but I like it better that way and it seems more responsive too. Could be placebo but I think I actually get better battery life with it because when you wake your phone out of deep sleep all the components are firing back up whereas here everything is always ready. Hope that helps.

Hmm thanks for the tip I'll give it a shot! I guess I figured with the always-on display enabled that it should be able to wake pretty quickly? I do hibernate my apps with Greenify so maybe that's affecting it. But I only get like 3 hours of screen on time even when hibernating my apps.

You're welcome. Yeah with that app I just set it to partial wake lock and I have no issues with it and my phone works great. Good luck!

Sweet. Took the plunge and went for a factory reset, and it completely solved the issue. Im thinking it was Verizon's security update they pushed to my phone the night that I was setting the thing up. SO relieved
Oh wow. Made my battery life amazing too. I unplugged for 5 hours and still only at 86%
Well that's great. Waiting for sprint to drop their update and I'll probably do the same.
