Posted this in the CM10 dev thread, but decided I may get some better help by posting here, and here's my OP from the thread:
so yesterday my phone randomly shut off and it seemed to completely reset my phone. It booted up fine with two or three apps missing and all of my settings lost. I didn't think much of it until today when I tried to fix it. I did a fully wipe because some apps had disappeared and wouldn't download from the play store and wouldn't restore from TiBu. I went ahead and did the full wipe, flashed latest gapps and my device started up. I began trying to restore my apps and what not, but at I was navigating the phone my app switch soft key and home key would not function. They vibrate when pressed but don't do anything; only the back key works. I went to settings and remapped the soft keys to see if it was just a glitch and nothing changed. Still no function, only vibration. I then rebooted to recovery and did yet another full wipe and this time tried to install aokp just to see if it was a bug with cm (yes I know aokp i built from cm but I had just downloaded the latest nightly to my phone and deleted the old one so this was a test of the new nightly). Still no cheese. I was then thinking to myself, screw it and at least try to restore some apps, but after configuring my google account and opening he play store i get a constant no connection, retry button. Most of the stock apps will not even open. I flashed a TiBu.zip to restore the app and great, that worked but restoring from in TiBu doesn't work now. I tried reflashing cm and essentially repeated the above steps without any luck. Any ideas? I can't test my data/phone connection other than the fact that after setting up my google account, my email synced and I was able to make a call because the browser won't even open. MY [email protected]$s didn't do a nandroid either
Help a desperate guy in need, please!!
PS redownloading cm and gapps right now on my computer in case of a corrupted download, but to have the issue on cm and aokp is suspicious. I'll have to wait for an hour or two because my internet speed is that slow...

Now I redownloaded CM10 fresh from the get.cm page and even did a md5 check and everything matched up, yet still no luck. another strange thing I've noticed is that my power menu, when I verified in the setting that all options for my power menu were selected, the only options that show up are power off, reboot and screenshot. I checked to be sure app permissions were correct and even fixed permissions from recovery. All apps that do open force close upon any activity, for example upon receiving an email in gmail, the gmail app force closes. I don't know if providing a logcat would be beneficial to anyone because I don't know how to read them.
I am currently waiting on a sense rom to finish downloading to verify that it isn't just aosp based roms, but my internet connection is terrible so the 600+mb file still has 2+hrs left. I am also downloading an ruu if nothing else works, but again with a 500+mb file it will take 2+hrs
Any help is much appreciated and I can provide more info if needed.
SOLVED
Sounds like it might be a kernel issue. Try flashing a different one.
If nothing else works, relock and RUU.

Even if it's the stock cm kernel? i never had issues with it before, but I'll flash one now because luckily I have a couple on my phone already
Edit: flashed a different kernel and nothing changed, but thanks for the suggestion
Hi All,
I just rooted with chainfire .img via fastboot and updated supersu to latest from google play. I unlocked the bootloader the second I bought the phone, decided to root now, so no wipe was involved (this is why I can compare with no root boot times). No custom rom installed. Stock rom, rooted and bootloader locked.
What I noticed is that all desktop widgets take 10-15 seconds to load after boot. Widgets are in a blank state for that period of time, like freezing.
Anyone else noticed this ? Is expected to see this after rooting ? Maybe supersu checking entire device after boot and slowing the device ?
Thanks in advance
I also noticed this on stock rom but also on custom rom.
I have to wait before using Power Toggles widget (but not with Poweramp). The same for some apps that should start at boot as Headset Control, Clipper, Tasker, LMT Launcher...
BTW if you used CF Auto Root your BL is unlocked.
Glad I an not the only one seeing this.
I have locked my bootloader after root using bootunlocker. This is why I said bootloader is locked. I would unroot and wipe to see if this is a root problem or not, but I am still not clear if I can backup and restore to EXACT same state I am now (apps, data, settings, widgets, etc.)
LE: apparently slow widgets after boot are caused in my case by sim pin check. If I disable the sim pin check on boot, all widgets load instantly first time after boot. Can anyone else test and confirm ?
Anyone else notice this?

I also noticed this problem, not sure if after root or not, as I rooted my phone immediately. Tested against Nex4 and although Nex5 lock-screen comes up 2 seconds earlier, the Nex4 widgets immediately loads, whereas my Nex5 take 30 seconds for widgets to load.

Can you explain in more detail where this option is?
Settings > Security > Set Up SIM card lock > Lock SIM card on or off.
Put it to off and try again.
I flashed factory images and the widgets do the same thing, so I dont think it is root related.
I have the same problem
The widgets were running perfectly when the Nexus 5 was stock (unrooted, locked, stock rom). As soon as I unlocked, rooted but stock rom still, the widgets were slow to load -- 30 seconds. I then insalled DroidKang, and still -- Widgets are slow to load;
I did not, however, check if putting in ART runtime has anything to do with it (it could as I did this after unrooting my phone.)
Anybody has ideas ?
(I have tried to lock/unlock SIM card, and still same effect)
I also have this issue and I've never used a pin code on my device , It was working perfectly fine before I rooted it :crying:
Hi there, I'm not too sure where to post this, I'm new here. I had downloaded the spirit ROM for my galaxy s3 and loved it. It's awesome and I love all the features...one problem though. Whenever I restart the phone it resets all my defualts...like my default messenging app, it would continue to reset my launcher (until I disabled all the others) and for my Cerberus anti theft app. This is a bit of an issue as I have device administrative options that keep being reset. It's a pain in the ass...I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to what I can do to keep my default settings and enjoy this amazing ROM at the same time. Thanks for your insight!

Did you perform a full wipe before flashing the rom?
Not used any backups?
Just flash it again and if the error persists, ask in the rom hread for help.
BTW a really great and totally stable rom for S3 is CandyKAT
***SOLVED***

So it turns out my Cerberus App was conflicting with the SPIRIT ROM. I found that whenever I tried to have the app automatically take a photo the phone would restart (I assume because the software isn't compatible with that function of Cerberus) and reset the defaults of the App and turning off the Administration function. I didn't realize that I had the app set up to automatically take a photo of someone if they got the password wrong more than twice....see where this is going? this explains the random resets, and the resetting of the defaults! after turning off that function of Cerberus the problem has not persisted since!
Thank you all so much for your help!!
PS I will also try out that CandyKat ROM
I'm having issue unlocking my pin after rebooting my phone, I'd have to input my pin and select ok multiple times in order to unlock my phone and screen shuts off in between untill it randomly unlocks after a few times trying to input pin. I have tried to Google the problem to no avail. Anyone gets this or know the solutions? I'm using face unlock on us based s8+ if that helps anyone.
Same here this morning. Finally 15th attempt did a factory reset as I had set to do in such circumstance.
Restored from Samsung and Google and going again in about an hour. Now I'm leery about using pin*face security.
Just updated my custom rom to the latest version. Maybe help, maybe not.

I find it odd you have the issue on custom Rom, I have that issue on stock os.

Perhaps Samsung rolling out Bixby changes yesterday, which both roms share.
yesterday I got it happened again: one of my sim cards suddenly lost signal. completely. and since then it keeps happening so randomly. please help!
im currently on oreo 41.3.A.2.75, BL unlocked, kernel packed by serajr's tool using ta_poc method with my own original TA, magisk installed, systemlessly xposed. i got it all working fine. until this issue happened.
i've also tried different ways: reflash, wipe data completely including sdcard, switch to DRMfix method, remove app by app, remove xposed... even switching SIM slots.... no luck so far.
about the issue, it just happens randomly without any clue. one of my SIM card just disappears. sometimes this one, sometimes the other. until now the only way is restart and pray it won't happen again.
please help! please!

Bro I'm having the same, loosing randomly my second sim card... Thought it was caused by some apps abusing of phone permission, but no luck it's not that. I cleared cache and art yesterday, now it's has not happened, but I guess it will happen again soon

it will, unfortunately. i tried almost everything except uninstall magisk, lose root and restore TA & stock image. maybe it will fix the problem but whats the point if we no longer have root right?
back to nougat it was running flawlessly so i have a doubt that it has something to do with the combination of oreo + magisk + ta_poc method but i have no idea.
in ta_poc method i see it executes something like ua_modem_switcher. does it has something to do with modem?
@serajr you mind having a look pls. sorry to bother you the master but im running out of hope...

Yes, removing magisk will lead to loose root access. But we can keep SONY features with kernel and TA.
The idea is :
-trying running stock OREO without root
-then adding custorm kernel with or without TA (original or drm_fix)
-at least adding magisk
I guess we need to try each step for a while
Maybe Serajr will have an idea, on my side i will try these steps and report...
highly appreciate that. i will do some more testings on my side too. the point is, although i know it will happen eventually but it happens so unpredictably its not easy to reproduce.
it may sound odd but you're here so i can at least hope it is just a software problem not hardware.
I was never be able to get my xz working with magisk 15 or 16. Always get the sim not recognized problem, maybe yours is magisk related.

My phone is working fine for some days so far. Just cleared cache and dalvik as I mentionned earlier. BTW before doing this I've updated my Magisk from 15.3 to 16 without clearing anything (maybe the problem is related). Will report soon if it's still working or not...

I did that, many times. clearing cache and dalvik seems do the trick. but it actually doesn't. it will work for a few days and the issue will happen again. unfortunately.
by the way I spent some times paying high attention to the screen just to wait for it to happen. It looks like the moment when it happens, SystemUI (or Home Launcher I dont know) is terminated (stopped) then I am brought back to lock screen and at that moment, one of my SIM gone. So to me it looks like a service (or an app) is terminated and isn't restarted properly?
have you tried using stock rom and see if the problem persists?

@Pandemic hmmm im not saying i dont believe but how do you explain it runs just fine for days after restart? usually 2 3 days then it happens.
and like i said the moment when it happens it looks like the whole systemui and running apps get force stopped.
lets say im playing a game then it becomes a bit laggy like its running out of memory then everything just closed then im brought back to lock screen and one of the signal indicator on status bar disappears.
do you happen to know any command that can restart the modem / cell / signal service? or any services related? just wanna try to manually execute it see if it fixes it.
also wanna mention again that im using ta_poc method for the drm sh!ts and it does have something like ua_modem_switcher executed. no idea whether it could be related
Hy guys, juste a quick update, my phone was working fine until 2/3 days. I've removed magisk but problem still happening, even clearing cache and dalvik didn't fixed it. My guess is, it could it be app related or crash due to RAM to high (my ram usage average is about 2.5 Go/day)...
Hi guys,
I have the same issue on a Note 4 (sm-n910f)....
I have been flashing roms in a long time and this is the first time it happens to me.
For me, the phone shows some lag, it auto restarts and the signal is lost. I can get it back by clearing delvik and cache, but this will happen at least twice a day.
I flashed stock and the problem goes away, does not happen even once on stock. So this tells me its not a hardware issue (i was so close in thinking its a motherboard issue)...
From reading various threads on this, i get to the conclusion that it is not device specific.
I have flashed half a dozen roms and only stock eliminates the issue. I stayed on stock for 3 days no issue, then reflashed lineage 15.1 and the problem is back. The really weird part is that this happened suddenly, not after a new flash or any operation on the phone.
Anyone figured this out?

Adding some additional info from my experience:
- Tried flashing latest BL and CP files (using odin) without any luck
- Tried various 15.1 roms as my device is not officially supported by lineage, again no luck
