Well after this critical update my phone has gone to sh*t, besides numerous bugs, like crashing and freezing (which already happened before), I've had this phone since January and I've never had so many problems with a phone in my life. This is the biggest nerf I've ever seen, I loaded ultra stamina mode then my phone would not unload when it was turned off, permanently stuck in safe mode, can't use 95% of my apps, still runs internet fine, still drains retarded battery power, just no use of apps, no background, no nothing, I'd hate to have to reset my phone because Sony has no idea to make proper software for their phones before forcing you to update it, this pisses me off, I want a new phone, it's 4 months and I want this piece of sh.

Disable Ultra Stamina Mode
Thanks, Mr. Obvious, it does not solve the problem because it is permanently on, turning it off does nothing it stays on, I can Turn on regular stamina mode, but it's still on Ultra stamina mode, it makes no sense, it will reset my phone if I try to turn on ultra stamina mode, and nothing happens, I've reset my phone, rebooted, tried turning them on a thousand times, does nothing, most apps don't work, or force close themselves.
This is in standbg standby mode, no background, no apps, nothing, all I get ia bare essentials and none of them work, they force close, and my effing keyboard keeps repeating words as well.
lol ranting just because you dont know how to solve the problem yourself? bashing a company just because youre the only person having this issue? buddy, smarten up and search around, repair it with sony pc companion, flash another region's FTF file... there are so much you can do, so stop wasting your time and get going. and if youre one of those lame trolls just to bash Sony, im sorry bud, go troll elsewhere, XDA isnt a place for you to whine. pce!
and FYI, "reset" isnt the same as "repair."
PS: use a better tone on XDA, this isn't a way to ask for help, especially for those who are lending you a hand.

I said disable, not turn off.
And you cry in here, well root your phone, unlock bootloader and that' s it. Problem solved.

I had my OTA update like 29 of july or smth... everything was smooth till two days ago when suddenly i realised that putting my phone on standby mode (closing the screen) made my internet not working.
I use both WiFi in my home and 3g outside. in both situations when my phone goes to stand by it recieves no updates on anything. When I open it then all the messages from heytell or whatsapp come on along with fb notifications etc.
The blue bars of the signal are blue when i open my phone from stand by mode. then they become grey and then blue again. at that time is when i get all my notifications i had lost whilst in stand by mode. This is really frustrating. I reset my phone etc but the problem persists.. i read somewhere that some ppl said turning the cpu to 750mhz makes it keep the signal... in my opinion this is a HUGE problem and it needs to be patched officially.
However i need to say that in stand by mode it still rings for phone calls... I dont know what to make of it and i would appreciate someones help.
Thank you in advance.
Blue bars=connected to Google Services, which would explain why you get all your Google stuff the minute the bars turn to blue. Are you sure you don't have some battery saving app(ie: Juice Defender) running? I have to ask because people overlook things when they start to have issues with their phone.

yeap i dont have anything like that since i already know that it has to do with the voltage of stand by mode. i read it somewhere. unfortunately i installed only the basic stuff from the reset and still it made that problem. :S
Hi,
I am in Belgium, my phone is unbranded, I bought it in around may, and everything was working fine.
I do have 1.29 that I upgraded OTA, the problem is the device loves to restart itself.
I thought it might be just the sim card not sitting well, i take it out, out of the blue, not very often, will restart itself.
sometimes, it even gives a message, something like, if you don't do anything the device will restart itself in 5 seconds or something like, or sometimes, just restarts.
the most annoying problem is , when I turn on the camera app, in 5 seconds, even if you don't move the camera will initiate a freeze and restart.
if you re quick enough to go to gallery, for some reason, and when u get back to camera, it is fine, until you decide to restart the phone.
One reason I bought this phone is its camera, right, and when you need it, it is not there.
To make sure, I went ahead and did a factory reset, guess what, nothing has changed.
I turned of geolocation, gps etc, nothing is helping.wifi is off.
i turned on airplane mode, it doesn't help.
I never rooted it or anything.
It seems to happen more frequently if the battery is around orange level.
I sent error report like 50 times to htc, perhaps, i thought it might take their attention.
Can you guys suggest something about it???

Perhaps, you guys want to keep this, because, I have this problem solved with todays OTA update to 4.0.4 by htc.
Hi there,
I'm having a problem with my smartphone and i felt like this is the #1 place to ask for guidance on android issues over the interwebz.
I have a low-budget Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360.
It's running what it came with, Android 2.3.6 / Gingerbread.XXLK3.
30 minutes after having it, i foolishly decided i need more internal memory and rooted the device, in order to remove the useless apps on it.
It was a total slaughter. I think i even pwnd Samsung Apps app.
Anyway, device worked well for months after the bloody carnage, but recently backfired right into my face with random shutdowns.
I have no proper idea on the reasoning of these shutdowns but i've collected some data on the subject, here they are;
- It randomly shuts down almost every day. Just 3-5 times a day if it's on a good mood. Over 10-12 if it feels down.
- Device never shuts down while being charged or connected through USB.
- Device usually shuts down after i used power button to lock the screen.
- It's not being locked on black screen, it definitelly shuts down, not properly tho. (no small time vibrating)
- I feel like front sensors (which turns off the screen during calls) might be causing this, because lately it's shutting down whilst calls on my face. I even managed to shut it down by wiping the mentioned sensors with my thumb.
- Sometimes it can be shut down by brute force. I mean putting it down to table a little bit harder than average.
- My SDCard is problematic, it gets unmounted and says its damaged but i tend to ignore it and just reply with "sssh everything is gonna be alright" (format and reuse)
- I have only a handful of apps which contains bank & password apps etc. Nothing serious going on with my services.
PLEASE HELP ME OUT IF YOU RECOGNIZE THE SEMPTOMS.
What should i do? A custom rom? New battery?
Thanks in advance.
Bonus information;
I've never seen it shutdown with my own eyes.
It usually happens when its' screen is blacked out, when i put it in my pocket or table.
Or when i try to make a call and put it against my head.
So whatever is happening, it happens while the screen is blacked out.
It neves turned off while listening to music either.

might be you should go to recovery mode and do a data factory rest and also might need to clear the cache partition.
try it..

Ah yes, i did that. Sorry that i forgot to mentioned it.
I've factory reseted it and while i was there i got curious and did the cache-clearing too.
But the problem persists.

I think you should try flashing your stock rom with the help of Odin.
have a crazy situation - a number of times in the day at odd times the whole screen flashes red and then blue while vibrating and playing the alarm.
I do not think it is a virus and cannot figure out with what app this is associated with. I cannot associate it with any app directly. There is no message just suddenly starts flashing until I tap on screen or after about twenty seconds turns off

Yours is a great idea but these settings are disabled on the phone. Thank you for the suggestion however
Im having this same problem. Did you ever fivure out the issue?
After hard reset
Did a hard reset worked for about a month and in the last two days started again I have tried to Google and see if others have the same issue and there is nothing on the www. Crazy and absolutely have no idea what is causing it
Moto 360??
I am having the same issue. I also have a Moto 360 watch. I think there might a connection when the watch isn't in range the phone starts this panic behavior of red and blue. I still haven't found a solution....
What Fw are you on ? And do you have exynos or SD variant ?
I have a G950F and a moto 360 too and no issues so far ?
Same thing
This just started happening to me too. My only change recently was: I install an android wear watch hauwei 2 last week. I enabled developer mode to try and trace the cause.

I am doing the same with the Debugger (now), good idea. But I must admit, I don't know how to use the option on the Android to necessarily trace to a specific app.
I do know when I turn Bluetooth off the issue seems to go away.
Has anyone tried changing the network the device is trying to connect to? Let's say you have a GSM network, try setting it to GSM only. Vice versa for CDMA.
Same issue w/ s7 and note 8
I recently began having the same issue with my Galaxy s7 a d now with my note 8. The only connection is I've had my watch(fossil Q founder) connected to both. If I get out of range or disconnect from the phone via airplane mode etc. is when the phone loses it's mind. I think it's a feature in the event you might have misplaced your phone the watch is helping it be found(if that makes sense). I haven't found a way to disable this.
I had this Blue to Red flashing screen on my Galaxy S7. I could only operate my phone on safe mode, the virus or whatever this was drew the battery down while I was offloading photos and syncing the phone to the Samsung cloud. Then I only had approx 2% battery when I went to do the hard reset and before I could make it happen the phone lost power and I believe this virus prevented it from charging back up, essentially my cell died in 2 days from whatever this was. luckily AT&T is providing me a replacement but what an awful virus and what's to say when I resync the phone with Samsung it doesn't happen again?
Ok now, really?! You guys don't wanna tell me that since 2017 you guys are tracing this totally insane Homecomming ring plus red and blue screen flashes. So basically you living with this insanity since it's inception, and nobody knows what it is? I'm about ready to throw my phone into the garbage.
Any OS that is pre-Pie can be infected with rootkits that require a firmware flash to eradicate. A factory reset won't work.
Otherwise it sounds like you are introducing an app that is doing this after the factory reset.
If it doesn't do it in Safe mode... it's an app you added.
Has anyone experienced your U11+ freezing up.
It has happened to me about 3 times.
It generally happens over night while it's charging. I get up one of those mornings and the green light is on, remove the charging cable and I can't wake up the phone. I can't even turn off the phone by pressing and holding the power button to kill the device. The only way is to put it into download mode by simultaneously holding down the vol down key and power key, and then when the menu comes up to select the reboot option to get the phone back to normal.
Has anyone else experienced this or know what could be causing this to happen?
The problem is that I use my phone as my alarm clock, and when it freezes up, my alarm doesn't work.
Any suggestions anyone?
No problem like that until now.
However, noticed sometimes that the my alarm, which is setup for vibration only, only vibrates once and then continues silently alarming until I turn it off.
Happens randomly but still strange. I've to try with another clock app.
That's really odd.
I'm going to turn off the always - on feature and see if I get anymore freezes. I had another one this afternoon.
I'll report back after some time and let you know if there has been no more freezes.
I'm just updating to the latest update 1.23.709.3 and see also how it performs.
I'm a bit concerned about this random freezing that I have experienced since I got this device.
If it persists I may ask for a new one.

I'm still on the October security patch so I'm expecting one for the December period soon I hope.
In regards to your freezes I've not encountered anything like that so far been working flawlessly so far if there is anything I can test let me know
I have the Taiwan version.
If you could try the always-on feature for a couple of days and nights and report back, that would be awesome. However, I selected the option, for always-on to only come on when I moved the phone. (good for night time use especially)
I had my phone in the pocket yesterday afternoon and it froze.
As I stated earlier, I can only restart the phone only by putting it into download mode and reboot from there.

Thanks for letting me know.
I guess I can rule that feature out as a probable cause.
It must be some other app that's causing this issue. But it's a pain to go through the process of finding out which one.

Yeah trial and error isn't fun. I'd probably factory reset though and see if it happens with barely any third party apps installed.

I have the HK model I think and I had the AOD when I first got it, set to motion and nothing has happened to my phone in regards to freezing fingers crossed. I have disabled it for the moment as I noticed a greater battery usage overall, I believe between 9-10% overnight and only 2% when I had it disabled.
Hopefully you find the problem otherwise see if you can get it replaced...
Since not using the always-on feature, I don't have any more freezes. Must be some conflict with the alarms and always-on. Can't see what else could be causing those freeze ups.
My phone surprisingly just froze up yesterday. But at least it's been a long while since not having the always-on feature enabled. With always-on enabled, it seems to have happened every day.
The issue I have most about this, is missing that important call when I haven't realised that the phone is frozen, because sometimes I don't pick up the phone for hours.
I had to do a complete fresh install from scratch and I have no more issues. I believe all my issues came from using HTC's transfer tool when going from u11 to u11+. Importing all the settings features using the Transfer Tool has caused issues. I'll never use this tool again.
All good now.
