Did you try a complete new installation of your rom? Or try flashing stock rom? If it is a bug in the system of your current rom then wiping or reseting won't just fix the problem.

no,i have only gone as far as to wipe the system and then restore, any guide on how to flash the stock rom?

[Q] Dialer issues

Has anyone encountered problems with the dialer?
I can punch in a phone # and press the green button to dial, but it doesn't dial immediately. There seems to be a lag sometimes of up to 30-60 seconds.
Also, sometimes I cannot hang up a call. I press the disconnect button and it just doesn't do anything.
phone app/dialer issue
hello,
i think that the same happened to me. the problem that I am having concerns the phone app on my razr. very, very often when I try dialing somebody, after hitting the the dial button, the screen where is shown a larger photo of the person that I am calling appears then it flashes and disappears (saying <call time 00:00>, something like when the call is terminated) then it reappears by itself after 2 or 3 seconds and the call continues smoothly. this is a very annoying problem, not being able to have control of my calls.
i don`n know what could have started this problem because everything was working fine, and still is apart from this issue. i`m not a skillful android user but i managed to root my phone (making all the necessary backups), then using some specific apps for rooted phones (like titanium, motomizer etc.) and every thing was OK. Lately i`ve installed a navigation program for android to my phone (iGO) but i`m not sure if by doing this, the problem appeared.
to solve this, i`ve tried everything: uninstalling all the suspected apps, factory reset, rolling back my system to a previous backup, updating my system version from 651.73.30.XXXXX.en.EU to 651.167.19.XXXXX.en.EU, cleaning the cache/dalvik cache. the problem still persists...
if you guys have any idea what could have caused this please guide me through a solution.
thanks!

[Q] Reproducable freeze and end of video recording.

Hi,
I experience a reproducable Bug on CM10.1 and want to know if this is connected to my phone or a general bug others experience as well. I'll try to describe it as detailled as possible and I'm keen to find out if some of you have the same problem.
So here we go.
Used Software / Hardware
CM10.1 nightlies since end of Nov 2011 up to now (01/13/2012).
gapps as of (12/12/2012)
SGS II (I9100)
Symptoms
When recording video, at the end (when I touch the stop button) the screen freezes and doesn't react on input anymore. The recorded file is corrupt. It shows up in Gallery as a grey video and can't be played by MXPlayer or gallery itself.
Sometimes I get the "Gallery not responding", when I chose to quit gallyery, I can get back to the home screen and continue using the phone. However, another try to record a video gives me a "Can't connect to Camera" error message. (note that all english screen text are translated by me since I use german localisation)
When I choose to wait for gallery, the freeze gets worse and as the screen went to standby I couldn't get it back to show anything. (The lower touch keys however where still lid when I touched them).
All the helps now is a reset (holding down power button).
Reproducability
The problem is not reproducable everytime when taking a video. However, I think I can reproduce it in 10 Minutes when trying several shots. Even after a fresh reboot. I have the feeling it fails more on longer video recordings (+1:30min).
What I've tried to get rid of it (without success)
Change resolution from 1080p to 720p or 480p
delete data/cache of gallery app through app settings
switch Geotagging on / off
switch power shutter on/off
wipe data/factory reset (from CWM Recovery (v6.0.2.7)
wipe Dalvik cache (from CWM Recovery)
fix permissions (from CWM Recovery)
Nothing helped, so far.
Logs
I was able to reprocude it with adb logcat running on my desktop. I attached the logs. I'm not sure about traces.txt, though. It might contain younger entries and not those at the time of the original crash.
At camerafreeze.log:8809 there was a big pause in logging and online the light entries were logged. That was shortly after I touched the stop button.
Additionally I post a poll to get a feeling for how many of you CM10.1 nightly users the recording works fine.
Cheers,
David
PS: other than that, the CM10.1 is really great, especially when it comes to battery life compared to Samsungs stock ROMs!

I'm adding
Deactivate RingDimmer
to that list. The Log showed that RingDimmer is recording Audio and crashing afterwards. Maybe there is a race condition or insufficient locking within the audio recording facilities causing this bug. However, since disabling (not even deinstalling) RingDimmer, I can not reproduce this bug so far. To crosscheck things I reactivated RingDimmer and set it to maximum accuracy (decreasing the pause between it's recordings to test environment noise). With that setting, the bug appeared almost immediately with short videos.
Maybe thats the sucker. I'll keep you updated.

[Q] Rarz Jelly Bean and Titanum Backup

Omega v12 (23/09/2013): System UI crashed i9505

So I have been using Omega v12 (23/09/2013) on my Galaxy S4 i9505 for a week or so absolutely no problems what so ever.
Then last night my phone just ran out of battery and safely shut down when I plugged it in and turned it on everything seemed fine until it got to the lock screen it was quite unresponsive and once i unlocked it the screen was black but showing the notification bar and it keeps bringing up a dialog box saying gmail has stopped working which once you press it it reboots. one time it said system UI has stopped working.
I can pull down the notification bar but i cannot do anything in there if you try to get to settings or for example turn bluetooth off it reboots. i was able to get the multitask menu up once where i could access google search and it allowed me to browse the web it even opened chrome but as soon as i closed it it rebooted again.
I really don't want to wipe data, keep that as my last option.
I have not seen anyone else with a similar problem i have seen a few people have 'system ui' crashes but they seem unrelated.
They were talking about installing something called '3Minit Framework'. I have no idea about this or what it does and i don't know how i would get it onto my phone, I have not tried to see if i can plug it into the computer and copy data i might try that when i get home from work...
On a different thread it was suggested to just reinstall from zip without wiping data. It didn't work.
I would like to maybe try flashing a different kernel but I don't know if right at this stage its safe to do so or even if it will make any difference?
If yes, what kernel would you guys suggest???
Any assistance would be much appreciated!

Black screen after receiving phone calls and social media apps !?

I am facing a weird and annoying problem on my phone, Mega SGH-I527M running Marshmallow 6.0.1 CM13. It seems whenever a voice is to be heard (like when making a phone call, a messenger call, listening to a voice messaage on social media apps like Telegram, Viber, etc.) the screen goes all black.
In case of Skype and Telegram it is so bad! After receiving a Skype call, my screen never gets back even when I hit home button and I have to hard restart my phone!
My first guess was that my proximity sensor is bad, but that sensor is working... When I put my hand over proximity sensor the screen gets dimmer and when I take it out of its way, screen gets brightened; so it seems it's functioning. Where is the issue?
Any help is appreciated, as this issue is really annoying.
Cheers
I've seen your request link on silesh's thread i faced the same with a theme. If you have install a theme, or you have to erase it with all its datas (after install the system's theme) or you can as i did choose another way to wake un screen. Mine was to choose volume button to wake up screen and never more problem. Also, you can check and clean your proximity sensor

Please make sure you have a full wipe (data, system, cache, dalvik, etc...) before flashing the rom, reboot recovery, install latest opengapps and reboot system.
If your problem persists clean cache again in recovery and reboot.
If the problem is still there try another rom. Please remember the developer no longer owns the Mega, so it's a lot harder for him to bug fix.
For future reference, I resolved this immensely painful issue with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vrognaas.proximityfix
I am a careful Android user when it comes to flashing etc.
