[Q] phone repeatedally being hacked or something - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so first off I have a factory HTC one m7 with Verizon that's running the new kit Kat is. I haven't done anything to it because I don't know how. however I'm on my 7th soon to be 8th one from Verizon in less then 3 months.I've went rounds with Verizon & HTC & know one has a clue.
the list of symptoms are as follows:
1.hangs up & turns on airplane mode in the middle of calls.
2.Gets super hot sending a text or being on fb.
3.opens apps & closes them by itself.
4.calls other numbers then the number dialed.
5.turns on developer options.
6.changes date & time settings.
7.still does all this in safe mode.
8.& factory reset doesn't change a thing other then erase all my stuff.
9.I've changed the SIM & the phone & the Gmail @ the same time doesn't stop it.
10. & my battery not only jumps around but loses battery when it's turned off.
11.all my songs & pics just disappear all the time.along with pics showing up that I've never seen.
So if anyone has any ideas they would be insanely appreciated cuz now my tablets doing the same stuff.
I'm thinking either a gms hack or the newly discovered oma dm hack or a man in the middle hack.after 7 phones I'm doing my own research.
but plz any experts on here or with this phone plz help.& if this is in the wrong place can someone plz put it where it needs to be. thank u in advance.

Hey Bud,
Personally, I think you should try install a custom rom if you have a recovery installed? If you don't have a recovery installed, do it then install a custom rom like Cyanogenmod. See if that fixes your issue.

Phone function & green button on my Qtek

Hello all,
I'm new here, have read lots of the information available, but came here looking for an answer that I haven't found yet.
Situation is the following.
I got this Qtek2020 (or XDA II) from my dad who used it for his work. The reason he stopped using it is because the "phone" function itself is kind off acting weird.
Sometimes it is just nog possible to get into phone mode, neither of the two methods make te device display the dial pad...
- hitting the green button
- going Start-> phone
(It's kind off like a non responding program in windows when you want to execute it)
To make things clear, the phone works fine if we go to contacts and then choose the option to call the contact.
The question is, does this problem seem familiar and is there a way to fix it by for example putting a new rom on the device?
Any help or input about this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
I think the HARD RESET should help . After a long... long work configuration data and other settings going to be ... melted . If U don't store on devise impotrant data just remove the battery for about 20 mins .

Droid Eris Issue/s! (Rooted)

Saved for later use....
Re: Droid Eris Issue/s!
I'm not too sure what this means of how I can figure out what or how to get a log file.
My phone has been doing a random slide all the way to the left. no matter what Rom I'm running. After a few hours my Eris, running 1.5 from jcase, and edited by k.
- Screen moves left
- fixs when I restart
- happened again after a few how's of phone on standby or playing.
- Also OS slow down.
- this has been on going for 3 days.
- wiped, everything.
-Flashed using same Rom, and 3 others. (Followed flash Rom steps.)
- Still same problem.
if anyone can it knows of any info or hoe I can make this more clear, I thank you.
sounds like a problem with the phone itself such as maybe a trackball issue. go to verizon and see what they say.
i discovered to 2 issues since i upgraded the newer 2.1. (i haven't flashed a custom rom)
one browser randomly closes while using it. my wife went to macy's website and it closed. no force close or anything.
two - google maps works, but if i i upgrade. every time i open the app a few seconds later it gives me a force close dialog box....

Just to let you know my wife was having similar problems with screen going left. I have seen some people just have it while on a charger but we had another problem the phone would randomly die at various charge levels and sometimes not boot back up without plugging the charger in. We were able to get a warranty replacement on the battery and the issue with screen scroll to the left has ceased.
thank you everyone for the feedback. I'm going to see what happened with everything. I might just turn this into a project phone. I will try to clean the trackball, and use my other battery. I greatly appreciate the replies.

[Q] Installing ROM on a Eris that is not activated to function as a phone.

Hello Everyone,
I just got the Samsung Galaxy Nexus last night, and it is awesome. My old Eris will now be used as MP3 player, Games, and Camera. I used one click root to root the phone. Now I would like to install CyanogenMOD 7.2.0-RC0 Gingerbread NIGHTLY for the HTC Eris. I have the full version ready and on the SD card. The instructions say that I need to wipe the phone completely (Factory Reset). I did a factory reset before I even attempted to root it, because I wanted to start from scratch. The problem I ran into was that after the factory reset, I couldn't use the phone until I activated the phone with Verizon (by dialing *228 to program the phone). The Verizon tech support had me activate the phone with one of my other add-on phone numbers to get past this, then reactivate the number used, back to the correct phone. My question, is this going to happen if I flash this ROM to my Eris? I'm no longer going to use the Eris as a phone anymore, so I don't need it activated, I just want a cool multimedia device for music, apps, pictures, and web.
Thanks to Everyone who makes this possible.
You just tap for corners of the screen clock wise starting from top left whenever the setup screen comes up on the first boot
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Yes, on the CM7 ROMs, the tap the four corners works.
However, if you ever need to reinstall stock, you can get by activation in one of two ways:
This: http://androidforums.com/eris-suppo...help-getting-pass-activation.html#post1991633
Or, easier, have it dial to activate, but immediately disconnect. It will try about three times, so have it dial and then disconnect right away each tome. It will then give up and put you through to the initial setup screen without activation.
Well there is a 'Wifi Script' made by CondemnedSoul that turns the Eris into a wifi phone only; I haven't got much in detail, however, if you check it out it might incite you to use it. Also, from the comments in that thread, it seems that the script is remunerative.
Hope this helped

i757m JB 4,1,2 Lag Issues

Hi Folks,
This was the closet forum I could find for my phone. I actually have the GS2 HD LTE (i757) from Bell Mobility in Canada. Monday I finally received my Jelly Bean Update (4.1.2) I wish I could say I an excited however it has caused me so much stress, Ever since I installed it my phone has been terrible laggy. ICS gave me no troubles but after seeing the huge performance boost in my Wife's i9100m last month when it was available to hers I did not hesitate to update mine. Below I will list my symptoms, as well as the steps I have done to resolve this. I have search everywhere for an answer and have come up with nothing. Also to note, my Friend in the office has a Galaxy Note with a different provider (Telus) who received the update the same day, we can put our phones side by side and we both experience the exact same issue.
Setup:
i757 (S2 HD LTE)
Not Rooted
Symptoms:
Swiping to unlock is choppy
Opening Messaging to text takes three part (Loads the body, loads previous message and then keyboard loads in the middle of the screen and works its way down.
30-45 second pause to open the dialer
when clicking the power button to get to the lock screen it shows the desktop for a second, then god to my lock screen wallpaper then my lock screen icons appear. After this I can swipe.
loading apps
at startup RAM is 558MB/737MB. I hit clear memory right away it goes to 394MB/737MB. But open any app I am back up to to 550MB-600MB
Things I have tried:
Install install was Down with Kies as a regular update with all my Apps still installed.
I Wiped Cache and down a Factory Reset
Reloaded the Stock ROM with Odin3 v1.85
In developer options I disabled animation for Window, Transition and Animator
I disabled ripple effect for lock screen
I disabled Google Now
Tried to Wipe Cache then resume use without reloading OS
Tried Disabling GPS, Bluetooth, WiFi and sync.
Installed Android assistant to clean up startup
Did another Factory Reset/Cache Wipe then install OS from MSD
None of these options have made a difference. The phone worked flawlessly on ICS, I don't know what else I can do. Has anyone experienced this issue? and if so have they fixed it?
At this point I will try anything before I take out the hammer and fix it for good. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
- Boots!
Also my Current status is Factory Reset/Wipe Cache OS Installed from SD Card nothing install.

Hi,
I have the exact same symptoms on my SGH-i757m.
The phone is brand new! I got it for the job, in replacement of my s2-i9100. As soon as I got it, I had the official ICS, then JB done to it...and it is an absolute disaster up to now.
Sometimes I can't even take an incoming call because the ''incoming call screen'' (with the green and red phones logo) freezes, giving me the ''com.android.phone has stopped'' error.
I'll be looking out for solutions, but I might just take it back to ICS soon...

Please keep this thread in mind, Anything I can find I will post it here. If you could do that same that would be great. My S2-i9100 was amazing with the Official JB release also. I am surprised more people are not complain online about this as I know my friend with the Note on Telus is having same issue (Update was released the same time for him) I also called Bell and their Tech support said they were receiving alot of the same issues since the May JB update..
Damn Lag has got my phone!
AH! damn update lag has got my phone and my girlfriends too! We both have the samsung galaxy HD LTE I757M phone and have exactly the issues all of you guys have. From extremely slow response to flickering and its just a pain in the ass. My girlfriend tried a factory reset which worked for about a week with no lag or anything but then just started the same lag issues we all have. A lot of people apparently are reporting that a factory reset does the charm but its only a matter of time before the issues creep back to your phone. Right now I am going to try a custom rom for our phones and hope that it works. If it does Ill post the results for you guys to hopefully benefit from.

I installed JB 4.1.2 today, saw some improvements, hope it is fixed for good !
The ram usage on boot (369MB / 737MB)
Sorry to post again !!
Okay, it started to lag as described by others. So I went back to 4.0.4... The battery life is better on Jelly Bean because it can reduce the screen's power (not just brightness)
I did this today, my last attempt with JB...
In Dial :: *2767*3855# (it formats everything, even sdcard, so backup your things before doing this !!!)
I configured ICS from the welcome screen (no gmail configuration, etc.)
Installed JB 4.1.2 from Kies.
I disabled the programs mentionned at my previous post...
There was still a lag when unlocking the phone. Tried Holo Locker and didn't do anything... still lags.
Then, I searched on the net :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224906
It seems TouchWiz has problems rendering Widgets on homescreen, so, I installed Nova Launcher to replace it.
For now, when receiving a SMS, after unlocking, the wallpaper can become black, but there is no lag like before. :good:
Same situation
My wife‘s i757m has the same situation. I wiped to factory and uninstall like "let's golf", google play music. Then it turned much better for about 1week and then be back lag lag lag again.
I have no idea why it is so ridiculous , cause my friend's I727(GS2HD rogers) is very good after he updated his in March.
Please help me SGH-1757M
I have the same Issues.
After upgrading the Phone to 4.1.2 bellow issues identified.
1) When Incoming call comes the Phone Frezes and Green and Red button on the screen does not work
2) Some times it works but when I get any call the Phone rings with black screen and after some time it comes with number and then caller id and then answer button
3) Every time when I went to Messaging it loads the messages with number and next updates the Caller ID and then body of the messages and text editor
4) Morning when alarm rings phone Freezes and does not allow me to stop the alaram and force restart the Phone.
I am having so amny problems like this .
Please suggest what we can do here to resolve these issues.

Issues with External Display ( app )

Hi,
I have looked on internet regarding the issues on motorola razr ( 2019 ) with peek display but i couldn't find anything helpfull. The thing is that the peek display when the phone is closed is working sometimes and I can see that the screen is on when I closed the phone and try to turn on external display. I have tried to clear the cache of the display app but it didn't helped much to be honest. The phone is brand new from official website so there is not option to have a faulty phone as like I said the screen (display app ) sometimes works sometimes doesn't. I have even tried to uninstall the app update and reinstall it but still doesn't work as it should. I do not want to factory reset the phone becasue my e-sim will be removed from phone and I will have to call my carrier to send me the code again.
Whoever has a phone could you please let me know if you experienced the issue as me ? If yes and you have fixed that please tell me how as this is let's say annoying for foldable phone when extra display just not working and I fell like to stick with my old phone
I have latest Android 10 update on the phone as well.
Thanks
Snip3r
