[Q] Screen sometimes won't come on w/ CM10 stable

I can't remember if this happened with the build I was using before (month 2) -- I think perhaps one or two times, but I'm not 100% sure. However, more recently it has been happening quite a lot. Sometimes the phone will just simply not turn the screen on. There's not even any backlighting (or in this case in other words the black level is below the minimum that it seems to be when the screen is on since it's LED.) Most of the time I don't think it's responding at all, but this latest time I did get haptic feedback from what should be the lock screen, so I'm not entirely sure if I was maybe just missing the lock before. I think the issue has been happening more frequently now than before though (well, it has only been since the 14th or so I guess, but I'm pretty sure the issue wasn't happening much at first) I'm wondering if it's more likely something I've changed. Also, this last time I did notice later that day that the battery was shockingly low for such a short trip out. I think it was in the 70-80 range -- normally it's around 92+ after that length of time.
To be honest, I do keep a lot of things from running in the background and freeze a lot of apps. I try not to get anything essential, but sometimes it's hard to tell what truly is. I've mostly frozen obviously useless things like the live wallpaper stuff though. The only thing even remotely related that I could think of is the face unlock which I froze since it was running even though I don't use it (I have the plain slide to unlock set and do not want face unlock.) I can't think of anything else I might have messed with that even remotely could have to do with this though... My Nexus 7 also running CM 10 stable doesn't seem to have this issue.

Touchscreen goes crazy - Unusable phone

Hi everyone,
I bought a Oneplus One in past July with enthusiasm.
After few days of use, began the "ghost swipes" issue (as every owner of the One) and multitouch issues (my phone is basically recognizing 1 finger at the same time) preventing any pinch to zoom or notification expand gesture.
But that's not the worst, after few weeks of use, began the most annoying issue I ever had on a device : my touchscreen is going crazy detecting contacts on the touchscreen by itself.
This issue began slowly but is getting worse over time. I noticed that the issue appears only after keeping my phone on my pocket for a while... I need to wait up to 10 mins after taking it out for the problem to disappear.
At first, a simple reboot was temporary the issue but not anymore. It's simple, I only can use my phone 10% of the day... During the remaining 90% it calls numbers, takes photos, deletes messages by itself...
Watch this video, it speaks for itself :
I do not know if anyone else has the same issue or not and I can't determine if it is a software problem, a hardware one or a combination of both...
I opened a support ticket on Oneplus website (but it seems I won't have answer before a few weeks... ) and I don't even know if they will accept doing a swap (OPO support is one of the worst I know).
What's sure is I am really disapointed by this device, whatever its price tag... And I won't recommend it to anyone and I won't give out my invites.
Guys, don't buy this phone and wait for the next Nexus device with which you'll have a high quality device at a decent price...
I let them a little while to find a fix to this situation and if nothing comes, I'll buy another one and use all means at my disposal to be refunded (the French law is quite helpful in the field).

There are many users facing this issue. Check around the forums you'll see numerous threads about this issue, you might also find some tips to reduce the issue.
AFAIK this is as of yet not permanent fix for this issue, but since i dont have this issue i havent been following it so i might be wrong. Good luck though.

The only solution is to RMA the device. Took me 6 weeks of haggling with One Plus but finally the RMA is in process.

Possible input lag/ Ghost Touches once again

A few people here and there have been starting to have this problem pop up- including me.
My phone was perfectly fine with absolutely no problems with the touch screen but about three days ago, my phone started acting weird.
At that time, I was running CM 5.1 nightly and then dirty flashed over to the latest. I thought that this was the problem and so I did a clean flash but still the problem was there.
Went back to the original CM nightly that I was previously on and problem is still there.
Tried many different ROMs but the problem is still there..
I can't type out a sentence without my phone failing to register a touch and sometimes registering rapid touches as one - the same problems before Synaptic released a 'fix' for this issue.
At this point, I don't really know what to do but it's aggravating that a phone can't do it's basic tasks such as type.
The phone seems really sluggish when I type - which I haven't encountered before this which slightly leads me to believe that input lag is the crux of the problem however, I can't say for certain.
Can anyone with more expertise help me with this?

Same issue

Im having a similar problem. I cant type a single sentence without errors. It doesnt register the touch as well few times. Using a device is so sluggish.. hate it. Tried many roms with clean wipe but without any success. Would be nice if anyone could help with the above issues.

I have similar issues and I don't think it's a software issue - I have never flashed a ROM. I think it's hardware problem, probable the earthing suggested in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/fixing-ghost-touch-grounding-issue-hint-t2951000
There is an app that re-calibrates the touchscreen every time you turn it on, but it doesn't completely solve the problem for me and also prevents unlocking until it has completed, which is annoying. The fact that a re-calibration is needed to even achieve a little stability is consistent with an earthing problem.
If mine gets any worse, and I think it will, I'm going to investigate a warranty claim, but that sounds like a few weeks with no phone, which I can't tolerate.

hi, i'm experiencing the same problems. you can test this when registering 2 touches on the same Y axis (try with anyone of touch test apps).
I think that this is popping out to a lot of people in this moment because of the hot days kicking in. in fact, if your phone is cold (try to put in a fridge for 5 minutes) it will work perfectly, but when it will become hot again in your hands the touch will start to freak out again

What sucks is my phone was perfectly fine a few days ago and we've only had an increase of about 5 deg F over the week.
Occasionally the capacitive buttons don't register either.

Same thing here. Perfectly working screen, flashed 5.1 unofficial some weeks ago and no matter wich versión of cm or what kernel, randomly ghost touches happens.
Now with official 5.1 and ak 200 works better, but it's still there. There must be some kind of firmware/software problem, It's too curious that this issue begin to happend to many people at the same time.

My bro has the same problem, some days after flasing CM12S the screen doesn't feel as responsive anymore.
The screen isn't able to handle multiple touches anymore what makes typing really annoying, scrolling through settings also goes really slow.
Tried flashing latest 12.1 nightly but I don't think any ROM will be able to fix it.
No idea what caused it and if there is a way to fix it.

This is exactly what happened to me and it seems like it happened to a good number of people around the same time. Either 1)It's a huge coincidence 2)OnePlus rigged our phones to go haywire around this time or 3)Something in one of the nightlys got messed up for a few people however like you said, flashing new roms for kernels doesn't help anymore which makes me want to do a complete wipe - Internal data included.

Same issue
I was sure it's the heat some time back but then this touchscreen fixer app in the Themes and Apps section is actually helping. That makes me wonder if its the firmware, coz the problem only kicked off after the CM12.1 update. A few of my classmates purchased the OPO at the same time as I did and they dont have this issue (they didnt go to CM12.1).
Any tips on what firmware/ROM to revert to?
Edit: I also flashed the Oxygen OS firmware.

It's not a change in the firmware, mine did it spontaneously. It's hardware. OnePlus will do everything they can to spin a software story and indeed it will often be possible to partially mitigate in software, but ultimately everyone with this problem should be getting a replacement. That could be a lot of people.

I'd love to see how you jumped to such a definite conclusion. I live in a warm climate to begin with, temperatures are actually lower now than they were a month and a half ago, and the CPU of my OPO has definitely risen above the 41-45 Celcius range that people seem to quote for this current wave of issues (and I have corroborated with my own testing). However, if I go to the recovery, the touchscreen seems to have normal responsiveness, regardless of the CPU temperature. Unless it was a built in hardware malfunction set for a specific moment, the probability of a sample, even of this size, where a series of individuals can all see the exact same lineup of hardware-based issues occurring at the same time, is too ugly for me to try and imagine calculating. But I would fare to bet it isn't high.
However, if a set of users are all changing their software as new versions and builds come out, just as the release occurs... At least then you have a series of events occurring all at the same time. Not causation, but at least there's a stronger correlation than "it's warming up so now we see the hardware defects".
The temperature range this "defect" is being attributed to can be reached quite easily in normal use in temperate areas, but even in colder climates, it should be simple to reach such temperatures if the phone isn't underclocked, as the phone is set to charge, or even if the phone is running a software update of some kind, and countless other things.
TL;DR - Don't jump to conclusions that fast, weather changes aren't a strong correlation.

The outside temperature being warm would keep the screen hot for a prolonged period of time as compared to the phone heating while charging or intense usage. However, your recovery argument is spot on! The touch works flawlessly in recovery!

Well I guess it's good that it's not hardware damage.
Has anyone tried going back to android 4.x to see if it helps- if it really is software?
Surprised there hasn't been more people experiencing this issue given the number of people going to android 5.x

I have the same frustrating issue

Same here, works fine in recovery. Also had this issue arise after the first bout of touch issues: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoFYcFawTI4&feature=youtu.be
(clearing cache seems to alleviate that particular problem)

I think it's a software issue. I mean possibly there is hardware problems too but mine started appearing only after I installed the 5.1 update... also some things for me feel like a software issue for example when scrolling instagram back up to the top. as soon as it gets to the top it bounces back down again.. seems like software problem to me.

This is definitely a hardware issue. My phone was working perfectly. Until I went on a 5 days trip and used it for navigation, and went very hot. Up until then I was on the same CM12 rom for weeks without a problem. Since then, I've flashed many roms and the problem persists. It's definitely a hardware problem. For me it occurs whenever the phone runs a little bit hot. Practically all the time when I'm on 3G. When the phone has been in my pocket with 3G on, it's almost impossible to unlock it when I try to use it.
I contacted Oneplus a week ago and I still try to get them to RMA the phone. They've sent me all sorts of crap emails, I wiped the phone and now they ask me to shoot a video to showcase the problem. This company has the worst customer service you can find. As much as I like the pricing, I won't be bothered again with their devices. I only hope they'll RMA it otherwise I'll open it myself and try to fix the grounding issue. There is a detailed how to which also explains what's the problem.

I always had it but it was so minim that maybe couple of times a day weren't that big problem!
Just yesterday and today the issue is now intolerable! I removed the screen protector and used the stock lollipop keyboard (bcz swiftkey is kinda slower the issue was there more).
It's still very annoying and I can't type easily! I had to remove flow/swype feature to minimize it further!
Seriously considering buying another phone although I wanted to keep it for a year at least! But the hate is growing on me...

HAha exact same problem here happening since 3days.
I was on Euphoria 29/3 build. I flashed ak kernel, after reboot i couldn't type properly anymore. I was like damn, maybe its bad kernel setting or so. Didn't help.
Cleanflashed 3 roms since then, didn't solve anything. All tho touch works fine in twrp for me. So im really clueless. Swiping does seem to work better for some unknown reason to me!

The ghost swipes while typing is driving me crazy. Thinking of going back to 5.0.2 to see if that helps. Do I need to flash an old firmware to go back to a previous Android version

Battery, CPU and Message Issues, please help.

Hi All,
I've been having a number of problems over the past few weeks with my OnePlus One, not quite sure what to do so I thought I would ask here for any advice.
Overall my major problems:
High CPU usage (and therefore high phone/CPU temp to the point of needing to turn off because of overheating)
High battery drain (and the battery will not last 5 hours even on sleep)
messages take between 1 ~2 minutes of hanging to send.
Phone randomly waking in sleep (contributing to the battery problem?)
I've looked into it a bit, I've disabled the Google Play Services from waking in sleep, cut down and uninstalled most apps. I've let it drain completely and left it off for 1 hour before charging to full and turning it on. I've tried to do everything people have suggested and nothing so far has worked.
My Phone Build:
Completely Stock CM12.1-YOG4PAS1N0 [Installed through OTA]
Kernel version 3.4.67 - untouched
Never rooted (I've been lazy), no custom rom, nothing touched in bootloader
Always kept safe, no damage, no water damage
I am thinking of doing a factory reset to see if that solves the issue, right now just looking on a way to backup all of my sms/app data (since I can't even titanium because it's not rooted) [All suggestions welcome if you have any good backup software/app that I can use on unrooted phone]. I do suspect a possible virus, hence the want to factory reset, especially about the messages taking so long.
Any help is appreciated, thank you in advance.
Happy to provide battery log or anything if necessary.
Thanks!

Hey there,
I'm so tired of talking about this topic that I can barely work up the determination to write this response. I'll give it a go though and I'll try to keep it short, simple and leave as much emotion of as possible.
So I've had my phone 10 months now. It seemed great at first but it wasn't long before I started seeing cracks (not literally). It began with the battery, or lack thereof. These days it's much worse but even back then it was noticeable worse than any other phone I had owned in the past. I first reported this issue... 6 months ago.
I'll leave that to sink in a little, before telling you that even now my issues are still not solved and I am having to take OnePlus to Trading Standards and receive third party consultation and legal advice.
So six months I have complained and begged them to solve my problem. And in that time my phone has gotten significantly worse.
It exhibits the EXACT same problems as yours. Down to the last note.
The battery... *sigh* Oh the battery. It now lasts around 1 hour of heavy use, 2-3 of moderate use and a bit more otherwise. Even if I leave it completely alone I have to charge two to three times in a 24 hour period.
The CPU seems to be randomly throttling. Performance from app to app will be vastly different.
The heat that comes off this thing is obscene. At times I literally cannot touch the face of the phone or the camera lens they are so hot. (I remember recording some temps once at 47 degrees centigrade).
My messages generally either send or don't. Or maybe I don't wait long enough. I just usually copy the text and resend anyway.
I have issues with my touch screen responding. Funny I never had these or never noticed them when everyone was shouting about it. Now they've released a fix I have them.
Some Wifi networks do not work, they get stuck forever "Connecting".
The phone no longer rings, vibrates or gives any indication of incoming calls. Sometimes it'll pop-up on screen, sometimes there will be literally no indication even on screen except that my phone wakes itself up to the homescreen and then minutes later tells me I have a voicemail (which also has no notification sound/vibration)
As it is I have finally, just this last month been offered an RMA... YES that's right, it's taken them six months to own up to an issue and offer me that which is stated in my warranty and within my rights.
Unfortunately, for them, it is no longer good enough. I have applied to my bank to forcefully remove the money from them and return it to me. That is being decided with the evidence I have, by my bank at the moment.
After that, the ball is in their court and I am free of them as far as I am concerned.
I wasted so much time and breath on emailing and tweeting them and getting no responses, stock responses, blanket responses, repeated verification processes, remote flashing of Oxygen OS to my phone by an engineer (which has brought up more problems, mainly being that Lollipop and Oxygen OS especially are godawful) and general deflection and delay tactics.
They are one the most disgusting companies I have ever had the displeasure of trusting, purchasing from and dealing with.
I hope one day, they go bust and I never have to hear of them again.
Sincere apologies for my vitriol but it is not unwarranted or untrue and I cannot abide. I am extremely sorry you are dealing with the same issues, you are the first I have heard to have the exact same concoction as me. I'm afraid we may have defective (and dangerously so maybe) devices from the factory line, but no one will own up to it.

Pixel 3 hangs for 15-30 seconds when switching apps, typing

I know there are memory management issues with this phone; what I'm not sure though is if the behavior I'm experiencing is just a manifestation of this well-known problem or another issue.
Since I got the phone a month ago, after some period of use after rebooting, simple actions like switching between two apps can cause the phone to hang for a long time - usually 20 or 30 seconds. The phone isn't completely hung - I can still go back to the home screen, and do some things, but whatever app I tried to switch to will be non-responsive for this whole time. Eventually, it will just start working again.
Other times, typing using the google keyboard will get stuck - that is, I can still type, but nothing shows up in the field where the text should appear. After a while it will suddenly "catch up" and everything I typed appears.
These two issues both seem to start happening around the same time, so it seems memory use related, but the amount of time involved seems very excessive for swapping.
I can fix this just by rebooting, but it always comes back after a while. I suspect it's related to how many different apps I've loaded and not just time of use, though, since sometimes it won't happen for a day or two, but it always happens again at some point.
I removed a bunch of apps that were migrated from my old phone (a Motorola Z Force), too, to try to eliminate a badly-behaving app, but I never had any issues like this on that phone, and it didn't make any difference.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Or does it sound like a possible hardware problem? I don't want to swap the phone unless it's clear this is abnormal behavior. Thanks.

It's abnormal behavior. My first thought is it might be related to a balky network or intermittent connection. Just a wild guess. Do you see the same issue in airplane mode? Also, if you check battery or cpu usage is anything hogging resources?

I've used the phone in exactly the same circumstances as my prior phone (and other devices) so I don't think it has to do with network connectivity; but next time it happens I'll try switching to airplane mode just to be sure. There's no visual indication of a network drop (e.g. wifi status icon). I haven't checked for anything hogging resources during these events, and generally I'm not having any battery life or performance problems. It's just switching apps that brings everything to a standstill for a while, and then it works fine again.

I have the exact same issue as OP describes.
Had a 64gb Pixel 3 when it was first released and it manifested the issue with the random hangs and freezes. I decided it was too buggy and returned it.
A month later got a 128gb Pixel 3 on the gift card promo and it is exhibiting the same issue as the OP and my original 64gb unit.
Doubtful it is a hardware issue since this is my second one with the same issue.
I have tried factory reset and removing any un-necessary programs on both, but the condition still persists.
Both phones were on Fi.
If the January patch does not fix the issue it will be time to switch back to iPhone.

Mine's 128gb (Verizon). The January patch looks trivial so not expecting any change here...
Not going to switch to iPhone but troubling that you have had this with two different phones. At the same time, pp seemed to think this is not typical behavior, and if it's a common OS issue then wouldn't a lot of people be talking about it? I'm not a crazy power user or anything, I never play games, pretty much use Waze, whatsapp, camera, facebook (lite), spotify, etc... really pretty standard apps.
I wonder if there's something unique to us that could be involved here? I'm not using any apps I wasn't using on my old phone, but I also had Oreo before and not Pie, so not a direct comparison. When I first set up my phone, though, all my old apps were migrated, including some Verizon bloatware I couldn't delete from the old phone. Is it possible that apps that were automatically migrated (but later deleted) could have left something behind that's causing issues with PIe?

I have have been on Google phones since Nexus 4 and upgrading like a good consumer every year.
Like yourself I am not doing anything crazy and have the run of the mill stuff like FB, Snap, kik, Whatsapp and IG. The only thing out of the ordinary I have on the phone is Cerberus and BlackBerry email.
Apps don't get migrated so that is not the issue. When you setup a new phone or transfer, some of the data is moved, but the app is re-downloaded from the app store.

Right - but it installed -everything- I had on my old phone including some Motorola & Verizon apps, which I then uninstalled (but maybe even missed some). Just thinking it might be possible that something hardware-specific to my old phone got installed on the pixel. In theory shouldn't matter but there seem to be so many nuances to Android, particularly across major releases, that I wondered if this could have been involved in the problem.
Anecdotally, it seems like it's been happening less often over time. I haven't had it happen in a few days, though I installed the update yesterday so I'm within 24 hrs of a clean boot now.

I've been having exactly the same issues for the last couple of days. Have just done a factory reset but the problem persists. The biggest issue is that when the phone is locked it seems to freeze as well and takes about 15-20 secs to unlock. Also if you phone it while its locked (and frozen) the incoming call isn't acknowledged (no ringing !) until after its unfrozen. Looks like I may have to return it and get a different phone !

More than a few people have been having issues with their Pixel 3, but I've yet to experience a single issue with memory management or slowdowns. In fact, I've found the Pixel 3 to be a far smoother UI than the iPhone X on the newest versions of iOS. Maybe I got lucky, but I'm more inclined to think it's about use. Just like my desktop operating system, I start from scratch every time I do a reformat, reset, or upgrade of a device. I can see there being issues with migrating old data. I'm also a fairly light app user; I've got around 100 apps in my drawer, most of which are Google apps or banking apps. Are the people experiencing these slowdowns installing a lot of things or running more resource intensive apps like Facebook? Not to say you shouldn't be able to do that with your phone, but I'm curious how behavior differs in our situations.

Feb update?
OP here, so more than a week since the February update landed and I have not had this happen since then. I'm kind of shocked, honestly, and keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, but so far it looks like something they did fixed this.
The only other significant change I made was to uninstall the Facebook Lite app, a few days ago, but I've used that long before I had a Pixel 3 so doubt it's related. So... :fingers-crossed:!!

The only other significant change I made was to uninstall the Facebook Lite app, a few days ago, but I've used that long before I had a Pixel 3 so doubt it's related. So... :fingers-crossed:!!

Maybe I should give Pixel 3 a try. Tried P3 twice since October and it was a phenomenal laggy mess specially under load ... My Pixel 2 had its ups and downs, specially with the Pie release. Took them 3-4 months to 'get it right' so I'd expect Pixel 3 to be no different.

I was experiencing some lag and short freeze (2 to 7/8 seconds) with my pixel after the latest update.
I tried a factory reset with little hope but it seems it did the trick for me. No issues ever since.
