Ok so it is like this:
I bought my galaxy r here in sweden 1 year and 3 months ago, it was working perfectly for around 1 year.
At the one year mark i started to have some problems with the touchscreen where the phone would feel a pressure in the middle of the screen, to get rid of this i simply locked and unlocked the phone or rubbed a bit with a cloth on the screen.
Recently when I saw there was a cm10.1 rom with nightlies I rooted my phone and later installed the cm10.1 rom. Now the most anoying thing. I have a problem with my battery where the phone just shuts down randomly (mostly when playing games) even though it sometimes have up too 80% battery remaining. Then when I restart the phone it usually have 0% battery left and therefore shuts itself down again, sometimes it restarts with just a 20-30% batteryloss. This have occured more often recently and it shuts itself of 3-4 times a day. I can't remember if it was like this when i was on stock, before I started to flash and root, but i think it was.
A few days ago i flashed stock ics from odin and I confirmed that both of these problems still were there, so i have hard to belive that it is the modding of the software that have caused this.
Do you guys have any suggestions to how i can be able to use my phone normally again?
Im just a poor student so i don't want to waste money on a new phone after just 1 year :/

It may be help you but first tell me, are you restoring data from titanium backup or something related to that..??
Also if you want to take backup then take it using Super backup application.

Nope, im not takeing backup of anything.
And one other thing i forgot to mention earlier, the phone now also thinks it is charging itself evrn when it is not. It think the usb cable is still connected.
I hope OP doesn't mind that I'm joining his thread, I'm experiencing the same problems on my gfs phone and don't know what to do.
I just installed the fresh CM 10.1 nightlies (did Cache/Data/Dalvik Wipe) and she is experiencing pretty much the same problems:
After 1 or 2 hours of unplugging the phone gets stuck and shuts down. After restarting the battery percentage is pretty low and the phone shuts down again (even if the battery says ~10%). The battery percentage then changes every restart, but is always between 0 and 20%. The phone is barely usable in this state :/
I couldn't wipe the SD card (.android_secure) because the swapped paths, could this be related?
Thank you in advance!

It shouldn't be happened. But if u are feeling so, just flash any stock GB using odin v1.87. Then just wipe all data and cache. Install cm10.1 over that using method 2.

I'm definitely going to try this, but as it seems now i think it is more about a faulty battery/hardware that software?
Or have these kind of problems been fixed software before?
One other thing, if i have rooted my device, does the root dissappear when i flash stockrom using odin?

May be hardware or software too..when you will vanish all data & cache then Software issue may be gone but if problem still persist, means you have hardware problem.
Also, root will be lost after flashing Stock ROM from ODIN.
I'm able to also confirm, that Procedure II didn't help the problem. I really doubt it is a hardware fault, because of us two having the exact same problem after flashing the same rom.
@Dippn: Do you know which nightly build you used? In my case it was the nightly build "20130405". Also could you check which baseband you are on? (Under About Phone -> Baseband Version) Over here we have i9103NEKI1
The only special thing we did I can think of is flashing a modem file (when we were still on the unofficial cm10.1 without these kind of problems, but massive battery drain), because there was a call problem going on for customers of the austrian provider 3 and CM10.1.
I could analyse the problem a bit more today: It seems as soon as the phone gets busy (for example from the browser loading pages or in DippN's case processing a game), the touch screen gets unresponsive and everything starts to lag and delay or freezes completely until it shuts down the phone. Could be either CPU or RAM related, I guess. I just wonder what caused this, even if the nightly had a faulty kernel, this should be fixed as soon as we flash another ROM, right?
I will be able to try a different ROM on monday. It would be great, if you could report, if the downgrade to GB helped the issue. I'd like to try a different baseband, if you are on the same right now too.
Greetings and thank you so much for trying to help us, vikesh!

Well, we are not on the same baseband. I'm on I9103XXLQ3.
About the cm verison im not quiet sure, the latest i flashed was "20130406" but since the problem were there the time before that when i flashed cm I cant answer exacly but i have a cm version "20130305" on my desktop and it could be that one that I used.
I never used cm before it was on nightlies so the modem file flashing i dont know anything about.
The thing you mention about that it shuts of when the phone gets busy and touchscreen gets unresponsive I can kind of confirm too.
I will flash GB now, will report back in an hour how it went.

Flashed GB using v1.85 and now I am stuck in bootloop, after 10 sec at the samsung logo it restarts and repeat. >.>
When the phone restarted after the flash and after it says "-updating application" it says:
Installing Multi-CSC
Can't access to '/system/csc/NEE/system/'.
Successfully applied multi-CSC.
I have no idea what this means but could it mean anything?
EDIT: I got it to start by wipe cache and data. (thought i should do that when cwm was installed)
Unfortunately already in the startup options when u write wifi password the touchscreen became very unresponsive and when i after a few min had succeded writing the password the phone shut of when it tried to connect to it! :,(
I can also confirm that it still thinks it is charing when it is not becuase the symbol in the statusbar flicked from battery to charging symbol.
Is there anything else softwarerelated that I can do?

Hi,
I just flashed my device with the new Android 5.0 stock image, only now i have multiple problems:
* mic doesn't work (i noticed since ok google detection setup doesn't work)
* no sound
* a lot of UI hangs/ crashes
* YouTube video's wont play
* calling doesn't work.
i already reflashed it multiple times, problems still persist.
i wiped my device before i flashed so i didn't dirty flash, and flashed all the .img separately.
Can anyone help me with this?
Update:
flashing this one with TWRP worked for me:

Multiple Android 5.0 problems on Nexus 5
I can't really help you much, but I wanted to express the fact that I also flashed the stock firmware image of Lollipop into my Nexus 5 and I am
experiencing a plethora of issues: Besides the ones you mention, please add CAMERA not working, show distorted image on screen, both back and frontal camera.
Shame on Google to release such a buggy and crappy firmware.... Truly expected it to be pristing.
On the other hand, have had on my other Nexus, a 4, the port of Android L and AOSP Android 5.0, pretty much flawless.... just barely minor issues...

There are issues:
- Battery dies in 4 hours. Battery stats aren't even refreshing to find out what is causing it. Phone is hot and eats like 1% in few mins. It actually discharges faster than I can charge! GSam battery monitor says it's Exchange Services that is eating all battery.
- Smart Lock loses connection to Windows 8.1 laptop
- Unable to unlock device, screen shuts down after you type in unlock PIN, after few retries it works

It's not crappy as I have no issues at all but that's not to say there are a few bugs here and there but mostly graphical bugs really. Functionality is flawless on my N5
Not even encountered a single crash, 8 hrs+ since installed. I wiped everything and didn't restore any apps. All freshly installed.
No solution I'm afraid, but just to let you know that I'm having exactly the same problem with the Microphone... so no phone calls, voice search etc. Just doesn't pick up any sound.
i reflashed the developer preview for now, that one does work without any problems (only the battery drain bug)
What method did you use to flash. Through a tool kit or by fastboot
i used fastboot, also tried it with a toolkit, both same result.

Oh hell... that's... so embarrasing.
I have a Pressy.... I forgot I had it plugged in.... for some reason Lollipop saw it as a heaphone and mic.
I'm gonna just go sit in the corner now.
Guys, here's a thought - as it's a new base perhaps doing a FULL RESET is the way forward
I always do a complete reset and flash from fastboot (not bloody toolkits) and never have any issues so I'm going to assume everyone with issues isn't wiping the phone first (I know the OP says they did a full wipe but in general, most don't)
Thinking this was a problem with the factory images... Didn't make any sense at all.

No, after you've flashed all the images, go into the stock recovery and do a factory reset and then allow it to boot up and set the phone up as normal!

This worked for OP but I just tried to flash this image and it did not work. Still no MIC SOUND. THis all happened After I flashed Xtrasmooth ROM from the xda dev section. Man this is depressing, is there anything else I can try ? I did a full wipe prior to installing it. Phone does not pick any sound. Only pick sounds during call in speakerphone mode....
I notice a lot of people having issues with the stock image. Flash the custom Roms...they seem to be working MUCH better..

Did you erase and flash userdata.img also during the flash, because i have none of your problems mate after a clean flash-all install.
Yes, i did erase and flash userdata.img, multiple times.
G'day people I've run into something pretty weird with my OnePlus One. I installed the CM12 nightly and booted it up, ran it for a few hours then got ghost touches and the screen became unresponsive at times.
So, having my usual backup of CM11S, I wiped and restored to the latest backup I had and everything was weird. I kept getting ghost touches and reduced responsiveness, and sometimes it would just randomly malfunction and not unlock and just keep the screen off.
Rebooting clears up the problem for about 5 minutes and then it comes back at full blast.
I tried installing the last CM11S update via flashing Calkunins stock XNPH44S zip and still I have all these weird issues that wasn't there before I flashed the CM12 nightly.
Has anyone come across this problem or is it just me and my device? It's seriously a cause for concern, and I'm posting this to both XDA and the OnePlus forums in hopes of getting some sort of help and relief in this situation.
Any assistance is appreciated and I thank you in advance for taking the time to read this.
reflash cm12 nightly and try again.
perhaps use fastboot to flash the partitions .
You might need to find a copy of the first cm11s rom and try that one. I have a feeling your one of the unlucky with firmware sensitivity.
Which date is your phone from? (its on the box)

GO back to completely factory fresh, via fastboot commands.
If you still have problems, it's a hardware issue then.

not entirely true, there are different screens, that could be the issue. It was reported in boeffla kernel thread. sesrch throught it and it might contain something useful to try.
also open a support question, Oneplus needs to know how annoying their poor choice of different lcds are

I'll try to flash CM11S via fastboot to see if it clears up the issue. For now, the date I got mine is 2014-07-16. Shipped to me after 12 days (International shipment via courier)
UPDATE
Flashing CM11S via fastboot resolved all issues as far as I can tell.
Will remain on the lookout for the bugs in the future but for now I'm happy to say it worked for me.
Thank you all again for the advice and guidance, it was appreciated.
GLad it worked for you.

Nobody was trying to "punk" you. There are usually several different potential causes for the same symptom, all he was doing was highlighting that and adding extra information in order to help further (in the case that flashing the stock images didn't help, which has happened many times). He was also trying top help the OP. Calm down.

I thought it was the partition thing too because I had almost the same problem on my HTC Amaze back in 2014, and flashing the OEM RUU helped with sorting things out.
But as for the random screen touches, flashing everything from fastboot helped for only a few hours. The symptoms came back after a while, specifically when I replaced my music and pictures. I'm thinking that I may have a corrupted file on it somewhere but I doubt it'll cause a malfunction like that.
So I tried flashing Franco Kernel, and it seems to have cleared it up..... for now.
It's so frustrating thinking that my device may be defective
UPDATE #2
Flashing Franco Kernel didn't help. Symptoms came back within a couple hours. Will try a custom ROM, specifically AOPK (because I want to )
If that doesn't fix the issue then I've just got to face the fact that I have a defective device (somehow)
Bump
Nothing worked. I contacted the manufacturer but they seem to think doing a factory reset will help. It didn't.
Flashing CM11S via fastboot doesn't help
I really think this is a hardware issue that just emerged from nowhere, probably due to lack of premium or standardized quality adhesive.
There's a really long thread over at the OnePlus forums about a guy who found it was a grounding issue and took some adhesive tape to insulate the area near the proximity sensor (I think? I'll include the link in here somewhere)
Honestly, OnePlus impressed me....at first. But I cannot use a phone that's not working properly.

Same problem here... I had the first ghost touches after having installed CM12 Nightly.
I was using CM12 built by Daleski75 so far without any issue. The problem does not appear on a regular basis and when it does, a reboot seems to fix it, at least for a few minutes/hours.
I'll try a clean install when the stable version is out (don't really want to wipe now and once more in two/three weeks).
@rdar_93: Did you find a solution? Are you going to send the device back to OnePlus? If it is actually a hardware issue, that will be enough for me, no more OPO. Sending the device back to China after 2 months of use and having to pay for the shipping is not acceptable.
Edit: It's getting worse... I am gonna wipe soon. Here is a short video: drive.google.com/file/d/0B-EYHGTB15_wS1JXdXlmZXVsT0k/view?usp=sharing
I can't post link for now so you'll have to copy and paste it in your browser.
Edit2: After a full wipe and the installation of the latest nightly, the situation seems to be better, even though I will have to use the phone a bit more to see if it happens again. By the way, I lost dt2w and the gestures don't work well, if not at all... When I draw a V, nothing happens, when I draw a circle, the phone behaves as if I did a double tap. Weird. Again, this happens after a wipe+latest nightly installation+wipe again (to be sure ).

I contacted them and they sent me a program to use. It uses fastboot to flash CM11S and probably fix the partitions that are messed up (I'm making an assumption)
UNFORTUNATELY I'm stuck in a bootloop.
I'm so angry, disappointed and depressed at the same time. I paid about $2500 TTD (in my country) which is probably the equivalent to somebody's rent. I had to work a month to save up the money to buy this and it turns out that the device is faulty after a certain amount of time (or at least mine was)
This is BS.
They said to send them a snapshot of what went on with the fastboot thing, so I figure I"ll upload it here too.

I guess you didnt unlock bootloader first
Which when you do wipes the phone so you loose all your stuff.
possible workaround is fasboot on custom recovery and then flash the zip that sets unlock status and circumvents the whole format thing

PS I also got tired of seeing CM11S try to boot up so I flashed ColorOS (because it's the only rom I had on my laptop. Why not download another 4.4.x AOSP rom? Unstable wifi at school)
So yeah, wifi is not turning on. Gonna try the program again. I wonder if it would work this time?
The conditions aren't as different as before, could work, right?
Honestly I want to wait but they take so long to reply.
UPDATE
After flashing ColorOS I decided to go back and try doing the CM11S via fastboot commands. Still got a bootloop but hey I got the correct fastboot logo now in case if it made a difference.
So I did the compulsory flashing commands when I went from Color to CM11S and still bootlooped.
So I booted into fastboot again
fastboot oem unlock (supposed to unlock bootloader and reboot if it's locked, no reboot if unlocked [assumption])
then rebooted into fastboot again, ran the batch files OnePlus sent to me which essentially flashed CM11S just like you would over fastboot, but with added modems etc.
Successfully booted into CM11S without issues, WiFi works again and so far no symptoms as yet.
Will keep this post updated if anything happens.
My screenshots of the batch file commands OnePlus sent would be found in the attachments.
UPDATE 2
So I think it's fixed permanently this time.
I'm not sure though. It hasn't done anything weird. I will copy my music and photos to see if that would cause anything to happen
I would stay away from os since it messes up partition and people ran into data drop out and modem issues.
Cm11s Roms are the way to go on this hardware.
FYI, when you flash CM12 the radio is overwritten with an alpha/beta radio which causes (well, caused for me) THE EXACT issues OP was having in CM11/S. The CM12 radio (as far as I can tell) ONLY works with CM12 - making going back a PITA.
If you have the baseband in this thread (see screenshot in first post) then that means you are on the experimental radio and are going to have a bad time if you aren't on CM12.
I flashed the latest OTA radio found here and all was right with the world (at least where my OPO was concerned ).

I would like to go back to CM11s to check if the situation is better. I tried to flash the lastest CM12 build and it seems to be better but still not as good as before
When I do a wipe and then flash the ROM in TWRP, there are some "folder already up to date", which I would like to avoid. What I would like to do is doing a complete clean install of either CM12 or CM11s plus rewriting the partitions,... So that I'm sure if the problem is still here it is due to an hardware issue.
Is there any chance someone can help me with this? Even with a link... I searched for "write partition" without any luck :-/
Thanks !
EDIT: Do you think the OnePlusRecovery Tool can help me with this?
Hey guys! So I buyed the Honor 8 2 days ago and it never goes to sleep.
Android OS is the highest culprit.
Anyway to fix this?
My phone has no Root it is completly stock.
I also had a similar experience with the phone, Android OS was making it run hot
If i were you i would probably force-upgrade to another version using the dload method....you never know what can go wrong with the preinstalled rom....or you can check if you can upgrade to a newer version

Hi! I have updated the phone via OTA. And it says there are no new updates.
How can I force upgrade it? I'm new to the Honor Line.

Before going there....try a few things: set power plan to smart, descease the resolution, click the gear icon and the select for wifi and data to stay off when you screen is off, have 0 protected apps , also open the device management to see what else you need to adjust like screen brightness, auto-rotate etc

@Christopher876 suggested to me an app called ForceDoze which i think it helps even further. If you still have issues you can try this method to upgrade to Nougat (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69885525&postcount=11) then downgrade to the marshmallow firmare you want....Unfortunately i don't know if you can skip to upgrading to Nougat first but if you don't mind the trouble. Here is what i did: (thanks to @Sheldd for so kindly explaining to me in pm)
Code:
Hello, so look, first, i have Honor 8 FRD-L09 (European model with 32gb) and to downgrade from Beta Nougat B320 to Marshmallow B131 i've done this: *ALL OF YOUR DATA WILL BE LOST
1-Download this: (download the one suitable for your model)
2-Download this: (same as number 1)
3-Format your SD CARD.
4-Unzip the "dload" folder from the first zip you downloaded (ROLLBACK PACKAGE) and copy on the SD CARD. *THE SD CARD NEED TO BE EMPY,ONLY THE DLOAD FOLDER NEED TO BE THERE
5-Turn off your phone.
6-Press and hold Volume UP+Volume DOWN+Power button. Now he will downgrade to B300
7-Unzipe the "dload" folder from the second zip (ANDROID B131) and copy on the SD CARD.
8-Press and hold Volume UP+Volume DOWN+Power button. Now he will downgrade to B131 and will reset your phone
Thats all, anyway, if you want to be sure everything is fine you can do a factory reset
*Note you have to download the correct files for your model whether FRD-L09, L04 etc..., your data will be lost when downgrading, you have to wipe your SD card (it is a must to created the folder in the SD card)
If anyone else has a better way please share it
Use app called greenify
Update to the latest OTA, and factory reset

Thanks, the problem persists even after the factory reset.
I wanted to follow the instructions given to me to upgrade to nougat then downgrade but dont understand.
I have the US variant.
I had a similar experience over the past couple of days in nougat 320 (it was fine before), I googled a bit and found that Google backup may be the culprit. I turned it off and then back on again later, and so far for the past 20 mins my battery is still at 100%.
Battery life is quite subjective. If you use your device all the time to check social media, play games, and consume media. Then you aren't gonna get a whole day's worth of battery from it.

The problem isn't the time I use it.
The problem is a stanby battery drain by the AndroidOS, my device isn't entering Deep Sleep and is always active, making stanby-time decrease.

Maybe if you attach some files similar to the ones I'm attaching, we can actually see something. Otherwise, Android System and Kernel are always (almost always) the two highest listed by CPU, which means almost nothing because every app that does anything at all has to use the API which uses Android System, .. and kernel.
Here are my attachments where Android System & Kernel are highest and yet in 16 hours, they've used < 20 minutes of time. Cpu deep sleep is at 80+ % averaged over the 16 hours. By the way, I'm on Nougat, but it was actually a bit better as shipped with Marshmallow.

Do you have any social media apps running in the background? As those often drain the battery as they are always connected to their company's respective servers.
Hi friends,
Since yesterday, my wifi and bluetooth don't work anymore. When enabling them, it scans nothing . I've made a factory reser without any psuccess !
Never seen an issue like this on any phone...
Thanks for your help guys
Have you tried restarting the phone? I had 1 time yesteday too, suddenly, the phone was idle, and when I checked Wifi found nothing. Restarted and then it works again. Not sure if related to March update or some other stuffs

Wow...after a factory reset, that's pretty much it!
You can try doing the reset network settings button (you can search it in the search bar in Settings or find it in the Internet setting on top right button [wrench and reset circle]), but I can't imagine it doing better than a factory reset.
The best/last thing that can be suggested, since it states you are rooted in your sig, is to flash the latest Full Factory image (March) and/or with the "-w" intact (since you stated that you did a factory reset so I imagine your phone is wiped anyways) and see if that doesn't fix the issue. The best 3 methods to achieve this is using the online Android Flash Tool, the tool PixelFlasher that can be found here on XDA, or manually using platform-tools (you must've used one of these in the past to be rooted, so I assume you're familiar).
Hopefully you get it figured out. Worst case, the phone is still under manufacturer's warranty and you should be able to get it replaced with a refurbished if it truly isn't resolved...

Yesterday I dirty flashed March update bmand disabled verity stuff. It forced me to format data. Is it enough or is there a better clean flash way ?
Btw I tried the reset network thing without success

Mmmm...when you stated you "factory reset", it wasn't clear whether it was from the OS system setting or when flashing...
I don't think there is a "better clean" way to flash and/or reset the phone. If you're not flashing/sideloading OTA (which you aren't)...
It (reset network) was a very long shot, but worth exploring just in case it hadn't been tried yet...
I mean, I guess you can try Android Flash Tool and even go as far as to flash to both slots and relock bootloader to get a pure, stock status and see if the problem truly sticks that way. You've already wiped the phone, so I doubt this could hurt or you lose anything important at this point. But I can't imagine dirty flashing the latest March update (or even including disabling the verity stuff) wouldnt've addressed or reset things to set the issue straight...
If it's still there after relocking the bootloader and flashing to both slots, then it's warranty exchange time (if you ever want to resolve the issue)...
*most likely the flashing somehow wrecked the system board radio enough...
If/When this works, you'll need go through the trouble of unlocking the bootloader, and reflashing the Full Factory image with disabling the verity & validation stuff, before rooting again.
Ok I think it's a hardware problem. When I shake my phone, I hear something moving.
I dropped it from my bed saturday night. The wifi module must be disconnected.
Let's send it to Google....

Are you sure that what you are hearing move when you shake the phone is just the OIS for the camera? All phones with OIS will make some noise when you shake them.
