Phone app always active?! - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys.. I just updated my phone to the latest update of satyr007‘s linaro mahdi rom. I have formatted system, cache and dalvik and so on.. it's not my first time to flash or update a rom
I'm using latest code blue kernel with it and this combination has always been great.. no problems. Until the last update.. see for yourselves.
Does anybody have an idea what the reason could be or how it can be solved? Please other suggestions than simply a factory reset
Had this problem once before but then it disappeared.. and reappeared after the update.
Thanks for your answers.

is that system app

Wtf? Please answer in a complete sentence.. or give advice how to solve this problem

Factory reset is the best solution, whether you want to hear it or not.. There are technical reasons for this.
How ever in the interim, you can try wiping data on phone / dialler app.

Thought so..
I try to wipe cache and app data/cache and if it doesn't help, I'll wait for Android L.. the batterylife isn't that bad anyway despite this issue.
Thanks again.

Help to solve the problem of camera freezing on cm10 & jellybam

Hi guys.
I installed the latest version of the cm10 & jellybam. Camera & gallery be freeze when I want open them.
Is it normal?
Is there a way to solve this problem?
Yes , we all have it unfortunately...
They say , it's a problem with the camera framework.
It'll get solved in due time.
In the meantime , you can use Defcomg's MIUI ROM , i've seen less occurences in that rom but it still exists.
Not sure if it exists in JellyBAM but give it a try maybe they fixed it. (They stopped whining about it in the thread so...)
If they fixed it , let me know so i can switch to that.
I flashed my phone at least 50 times this week so , i'm kinda sick of it.
You try , i follow.
Cheers!

I think there isn't this problem for all, because some people don't have this problem.
WIPE DALVIK CACHE. I did that and youtube, camera and gallery works perfectly.
Yes it temporarily fixes the problem. Unless you're willing to wipe the dalvik cache on every reboot it remains a problem.

No response

Hi everyone,
I recently started to experience a problem with CM 10 on my Xperia miro. I am using the unofficial builds provided by the FreeXperiaTeam. During random times, when the phone is locked, it stops responding. I am not able to unlock the phone nor see anything on the screen. The buttons on the device also show no response. I am able to turn it back on only after I remove the battery, and put it back in. This issue occurs at least once everyday.
I would really appreciate it if somebody could provide me with a solution for this problem. I would prefer to not factory reset my device.
Thank you very much!

Anytime your running into issues like this on any Custom ROM the best practice is to start over, don't be lazy to save Data ..and Don't do a Factory Reset on a Custom ROM it never fairs well. You can as mentioned wipe dalvik and cache then fix permissions but if your still having issues the get away from that build or redownload it and do a full wipe and fresh install you will save yourself time and headaches. Things go wrong from time to time just start over and do a clean install

Plus, be choosy about what rom you are flashing. Better stay with official/stable releases if you want to avoid problems, and never do a dirty flash. It's better to be careful than lazy.
Thank you all for the help! I don't know how, but the problem has stopped. Sorry about the late reply.

[Q] Nexus 5 Front Camera Option Gone

Hey all,
None of the threads related to my issue helped me very much and the issue is still persistent.
Here's what happened. I flashed a new ROM (from CM11 to Purity). Before I flashed, I wiped System, Dalvik Cache, Cache, and Data. Usually there's no issue when I proceed with this method. I opened up the camera app and it had no front camera option. I tried other third party apps but still no luck.
I've heard that this is a hardware bug... which kind of confuses me since it was working fine while I was on CM11 M5.
If anyone has any experience with this or has dealt with the same issue, please let me know!
Thanks,
-Cobalt-

Why not try flashing something else?
I would flash the latest firmware to completely reset your device. If the front camera is working then you should be able to start flashing ROMs again.

[Q] Horrible Instagram problems, help please?

I'm running CM11, Android version 4.4.4, but have had this problem since installing Cyanogenmod.
Main issues are these:
1) Freezes while processing 50% of the time. Mostly the filter-processed image is already saved in the gallery, and I can see it there after I kill the app
2) Video upload always failed.
3) Whenever I switch apps, Instagram "unfortunately stops". This issue is common with the Camera app as well.
Funnily enough, I had similar problems with Instagram on my previous phone, although it was an HTC.
But I haven't seen any such problems reported on my ROM's development thread.
Can someone at least point in the direction of what could be the issue and where to start troubleshooting?
Go recorvery and try fix permissions, wipe dalvik and wipe cashe options

There is no more "fix permission" option in newer CWM, apparently because it's not necessary anymore. Wiping the cache helps the crashing issue for a while, but videos still can't be uploaded.
Did u wipe data/cashe/dalvik before u flashed cm? If not, that can be problem. And did u come from Stock or other custom rom?
Hello.
Same problem on 3 roms that i tested today
I test pac cm11(current rom) and axxion and all has the same instagram problem , even on dalvnik/art.
I tried uninstall app,clear data,even from data/data.
Dunno what else to do.

Sony Xperia Z5 System update and apps not working now phone won't start

I have a Sony Xperia Z5. This morning I did a system update and my Google Store and Services stopped working. I went to the help site and did what I was instructed to do. Now I can not open my phone. The messages are Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped and the other message is Unfortunately, System UI has stopped. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks in advance.
Denise
I too am in the same situation phone has the same posts regarding Google play services have stopped working and the UI has stopped, I can't get into my phone or shut off my alarm...
Simple . Do a factory reset whenever you upgrade the system firmware. Easy as 123. Hope that helps..

Expect people have been reporting that factory reset in this case makes it worse.
Now for some SystemUI crashes, leaving the phone unusable.

Have you wiped both the cache and dalvik cache in custom recovery??? If not. Give that a go, and let me know how it turns out.

It won't turn out well I'll tell you that.
Because the phone is not rooted.
It was an OTA update.
And before you ask. There is currently no way to root my phone.

Yeah, Then if you're phone is completely stock, with OTA updates, Doing a factory Reset and Cache Clean SHOULD fix the problem .. i dont see why it wouldn't unless its incompatible with your phone, but thats highly doubtful..
EDIT:: Try this, Go in to Settings>Apps>Google PLay Services> Clear Cache
Then Settings>Apps>System Apps>System UI>Clear Cache.
Reboot Device..
Good Luck!

There are a couple of discussions already. I've also called Sony support about it. They say they are aware of the issue and are working on a fix. In the meantime they recommend downloading Xperia Companion and doing a software repair. That being said, some people report that factory reset fixed it, others say that neither factory reset nor software repair fixed it. In some cases factory reset or software repair
I personally tried manually installing latest APKs, clearing data etc. The only thing I was able to achieve so far is getting rid of constant error popups by disabling google play services in settings > apps
Some have reported that doing a factory reset makes it worse.
So now I'm sitting tight and waiting for further developments.

@TheTecXpert
Clearing cache on apps doesn't work
Factory reset in some cases makes it worse.
Can't clean dalvik cache without root.
Can't even get the device into bootloader
Really, I think we just sit and wait for Sony to fix this

Yeah i'm speaking from a rooted device point of view my apologies.. Because I am actually rooted, i Dont have any errors.. But if Sony In indeed Aware of the problem and are currently working on a fix,
then i gues that'll be your best bet and just wait for sony to pull through..
Which they always do
