This is getting really frustrating. The touch screen will become much more resistant to touch or freeze altogether sometimes. A quick press of the power button (put it to sleep, then wake it up) might solve the issue for a few seconds, but then it's back. A hard reboot does the trick, but the problem always comes back eventually.
The really odd part is it's not always the ENTIRE screen. Sometimes it.s just a section, sometimes just the keyboard, or sometimes even just a program. (Seemingly picks a random program. Exiting out, clearing ram, or even going to the desktop and back might fix this for a few seconds.)
What do you guys think? Is this hardware (possibly warranting a return) or software based? I'm running Starburst on a 16gb wifi, so nothing crazy.

When I do a soft reset, my phone is fine and everything works okay. However, after the first time the screen cuts off to standby, when it resumes the buttons on the bottom panel (Home, Back, Call, End, Select) no longer function. I can confirm that they all function perfectly prior to standby, and after the fact, none of them.
I'm wondering if this is a known issue, and if there's anything I can do to patch it or look it up. I've tried a few different roms, and it's a constant issue. Even after a full wipe with Task29 and a reflash with two separate roms, the behavior sticks. As soon as the phone comes back from standby mode the buttons just fail.
If it's at all relevant this is a Sprint Touch Pro. If no one can help me and there's no alternative I ask for help finding a way to disable standby entirely. Sure keeping the LCD on constantly will drain the battery, but being able to use the answer and hang up buttons, and the camera FAR outweighs that.
Well, I haven't been able to find anyone with a solution, but I've worked around the issue a bit by installing Keepawake 1.1 and setting it to run when manilla is running. Now my phone never sleeps, and the face buttons work. I'm currently looking for a small piece of metal I can mount over the power button to prevent accidentally triggering standby mode. Then my phone will be mostly usable again. Hopefully someone can shed some insight as to the cause of it all, but for now at least I may have found a way to work around it. We'll see how it affects my battery life.
edit:
Most helpful recommendation (aside from a solution to the root of the problem): could anyone recommend a way to disable the power button, or possibly remap it to launch task manger or something useful?
edit2: Remapped the power button to lock the phone using RaphKeyboardConfig. Works okay for now. Between this and keepalive, my phone won't go into standby if left on it's own.
The accelerometer on my Razr Maxx works promptly and perfectly except under two conditions. The first -- if I'm lying down, say on a couch or in bed, and holding the device over my head facing down. In this position the device will almost immediately shut off over and over. It won't reboot, just shut down. I can always restart it the same way I would from any "sleep". I can get the device to stay on merely by rotating it to face "up" no matter whether I change position or location or run or do not run any particular application. Is this common? Is it by design for some reason? The second -- if I have Button Savior installed, the Maxx accelerometer will work but there will be a significant delay in responding. Like 15-30 seconds delay! No Button Savior - no delay. Install Button Savior - delay. Uninstall Button Savior again - no delay. This troubles me as I really like Button Savior even on devices that have "hard" buttons. Having these controls right under my thumb is the fastest way to navigate, for me. Button Savior (updated) works perfectly for me on other Android phones, on my rooted Nook Color (CM7), even on my rooted Nook Touch. Any cures for either ill?
Hi
The accelerometer issue... does this happens from the first day you bought it? I trying searching similar issues, could not find anything. I am almost sure it is physical defect of some kind, you should probably take it back for replacement.
I don't know if the accelerometer issue related to Button Savior began when I first installed the app (as opposed to coming from a particular app update, for instance) as it took a long process of elimination to find the connection. As to the "upside down" issue I believe it has always done that. However -- it only does it if I TURN ON the device while it is upside down. If I start using it facing up, say watching a video, and then turn it upside down the video continues to play flawlessly. Bizarre!
I know there is an option to use the light sensor to detect when your phone is in your pocket, and turn off. Maybe it's on on your phone, and it's detecting lower light when you flip it over and shutting the screen off?
ok, so i misunderstood the issue, i thought the phone turns off completely...
if it only goes into "silent" or "lock" mode... maybe you installed some kind of app that does that when you flip? or maybe your player has one of those settings? like... say you are in a meeting, with your phone on the table, it rings... you just flip it and it goes silent.... some android build have that as a default setting already...
here, check this so u understand better what i mean :

tried updating yet? i had the same problems prior to the 65.1.40 update
Hi there to everyone, I broke only the glass on my screen couple of weeks ago (it felt face down from about half a meter, thats stupid) and I change only the glass my self but since then i have a problem with the screen like: if I press a bit harder anywhere on the screen for about 2 sec the screen became irresponsible and also the back and menu buttons, home and power button work normal. If I press the home button it react as it should, it goes to home screen, so it's just the screen frozen on touch and I have to lock and unlock the phone to go to normal. On daily use it's not such a big problem as i don't press the screen too hard, the problem mostly occurs when playing games.
I would try a hard reset but I not rooted as I use some apps that don't work if I'm rooted and I can't save all my settings, saves and apps and personally I hate to reinstall everything back again.
I'm thinking this is a hardware problem but why it goes to normal only after lock/unlock procedure and i also find on a forum that this can be from the screen protector. It's something similar with the phone in this video the difference being that mine it freezing and that it moving by itself. youtube.com/watch?v=isBDKgxB5vs
Did anyone also experience this?
PS. I sorry for my english as it's not my own language but I'm trying to make my self clear as best as i can, Thank you
Just bought one... have the newest update but my wifi still shuts down once I hit the power button and i am unable to find a fix. Second every now and then, and becoming more frequent, when i touch the screen a black oblong shape will flash black ( almost like a thick lighting bolt shape) about a third of the screen. Has anyone else had this happen? Also The touch screen itself wont respond properly, I have to touch multiple times sometimes to get a response.( not to frequent but enough to be an annoyance ) lastly it will power off a random at least 1-2 times daily. Other than that I like it, just has a few bugs to work out.
The screen flickering and wifi have always been bugs with both Sony Tablets with the later being fixed in release 5, or at 'seast it should've been, if thats what your on.

For the wifi problem you can try installing "Advance Wifi Lock" (google play).. just install the free version, that should fix your problem.. let me know if it work!
What device?
If it is the Sony Tablet S, factory reset to fix most issues but there will be a few issues like screen flickering hidden in the settings while changing notification sounds and a few system server issues where the OS crashes to the boot animation and then System UI crashes, system server crashes in to a bootloop of crashes and stuff.
So system server/system UI is a bug sometimes.

For a week or two now,* I have been having some funny things happen with my Redmi Note 4 (Qualcomm, Global) phone.
Before that it had gotten water in it and basically shut down entirely, but they fixed it and got it up and running. When I picked it up they showed me watermarks on the screen, saying that the screen had frozen only once but that it may just be lagging.
Since then I have had a few symptoms of an issues, perhaps hardware issues, but potentially something that I can fix without paying more for parts.
Here are the things that happen:
- Music stops suddenly (screen on or off) and the music app has to be reopened (DoubleTwist, Miuiu's Music app, etc); Somes while in Doubletwist, if I click to visit home screen (square button) than the music stops. (this is the first issue that I noticed).
- 1-2 seconds of white screen before already-open apps appear after selected; Sometimes problems with apps loading or screen goes black when loading
- When closing apps or returning to home screen, it looks like the desktop(?) background comes up and then a second after is is re-populated with icons as if system is refreshing the home screen
- Once any of these issues begins, it usually worsens and the cell phone gets slower, behaving more and more strangely until not even useful to me; Reboot clears it right up for an hour or two or whenever this wierd stuff starts to happen again
-It seems like if I make a point of using the phone modestly, slowly, I can avoid these issues from starting up
- Sometimes reboot rometimes hangs on initial black loading screen
- Sometimes if I hit the power button to turn off the display, I can not turn it back on with that button (neither does the battery-dead orange light flash), so I have to reboot.
-When I turn the phone screen off while it has been working fine, I come back later, turn on the screen to find that it is now on the boot logo screen and it stays until I hard-reset the phone.
So, these are potential issues I have guessed at:
* Screen damaged? So far, other than watermarking at the top and some backlight bleed, sensistivity is perfect on the phone, and symptoms involving screen always seem to be triggered more by apps or pressing buttons.
* Apps or Android corrupted/internal memory damaged? I backed up via Settings and did a Hard/Factory Reset, then restored from backup. I still have the problems.
* RAM partially damaged? I test RAM with two apps and none of them showed issues. Namely my available RAM and used RAM reported always add up to the 4GB my phone has.
*Other Hardware Components failing? I used 3 apps to check all of the hardware devices and sensors that I could think of. Vibration is the only thing that does not work, and honestly, I don't care much about vibration.
Today I have suspected that settings may being at fault, and/or battery savers turning off my audio. Battery savers often identify my music apps as using "excessive amounts of power," perhaps because the speakers at involved, but it does make me think... I removed any battery-related and security apps, then turned off all battery saver options in settings earlier today. In 2 hours of music listening after that, I have not had any shutdowns, but I am not convinced I have solved the problems. In the weeks after this, the issue is back and the audio issue is always followed by the phone operating very sluggishly.
I have done a factory reset and restore, and the issue persists. Do you think there's any point in trying to do a clean reflashing of MIUI? Could it be a software issue or definitely hardware?
What advice can you give me?
Thank you for reading.
You can try booting in safe mode and then check if the problems still persist. Other than that, I suggest you to get advice from senior members of the forum.

Miui 9 does not have safe mode to boot in.
