Crazy Acting Photon please help - Motorola Photon 4G

Quite often after I end a phone call, my Photon goes nuts. The screen will start to randomly scroll up and down and side to side, apps will start to open, the phone will start calling people. The only fix is a battery pull. Im stock and rooted. Anyone else experienced this? Ideas of of what app might be causing this

Phone getting hot

I don't know if anyone is having the same issue but my phone is getting hot for no reason or from minimal use. Does anyone know what the problem is? I suspect a hardware issue but I am not sure. Thanks!

overclocking?
Kernel panics? charged for too long?
Maybe this is the case with charging too long but this occurs when I'm not charging as well as charging. It has also happened on multiple roms including stock. I'm running bionix 1.3.1

So i guess is data too ..because i was downloading trigger and the phone was using alot of data and i got hot...besides that its get hot when alot of use ..
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Yes lots of data use and over clocking both make the phone get hot. This is from the amount of current demand for these actions. I would suggest you get System Panel app from the market. You can monitor what's going on on your phone with this app and better figure out which action is the one causing the most demand.
Thanks guys for your help

Hmm my gf's 3VO is doing the same thing.... I thought it might have been the auto speaker when laying flat
Sent from Venpa's awesome 3VO!
Yeah I thought it was that too but it wasn't. I went to update go sms and in the change log it said it fixed that problem. Funny that an sms app could do that..

Sprint get your **** together

I really just need to rant and see if anyone else ever suffers the Sprint multi text message issue? The same texts from random people 10 times in a row is a little annoying. Anyone else ever have this happen?
Happened to me for about a week. I. Reactivated my phone, seemed to fix the problem permanently.

What you you mean Reactivated? Did you reset factory?
This happened to me. Went away after a shut down and reboot.
Airplane mode usually works for me! ...

The problem is usually your signal.
Happened to me several times. Not too happy with sprint and their crappy 3g at my house, either.

Lol **** I loose signal in the middle of damn city ive had the stupid texts thing then I switched google voice n it stopped then wife found my messages so I switched back no prob yet lol
Sent from my MB855 using XDA Premium App
well I have a great signal at home and at work, but I still have this issue quite often. really frustrating. I have factory reset, re-SBFd, rebooted, airplane on/off... nothing permanently solves it for me. every few weeks I have this issue.

happens to my wifes Photon quite often. She thinks its the phone...

This happened alot when I had a friend with a Windows Phone, since he switched to Android I've had no problems. Maybe it's the sender?
This happens to me too. I'm on stock rooted. For me it seems to happen when my phone gets low on memory. I'll clear some memory and then a bunch will come through.

Time doesn't update

For some reason, the time in the notification bar does not update unless I go into the lock screen and come back. Anyone else have this problem? Anything I can do to fix this?

I had to wipe cache. Then it worked. I kept trying to set alarms but they would never go off. Then I notice that the clock wouldn't change unless I unlocked screen.

How do I clear cache... Im not rooted. This really drives me crazy and has made me late a couple of times already. Clock doesn't change until I turn the screen off.

I don't believe this is a Note 2 problem. I noticed today and on numerous occasions in the past 6 months my Thunderbolt has been doing this as well. It'll get stuck at a certain hour and won't update until after I start messing with the phone again.
It might be a network problem my boyfriends iPhone time gets stuck sometimes he's on Verizon if that helps?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda app-developers app
Thank you but never mind I'm retarded needed to simply restart it working fine now.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
I cleared cache which obviously made me restart the phone and now it's working fine. That was weird. l hope it doesn't happen again.

Something similar happened to my sisters g3 two days ago. She pulled down the notification but it only came half way and the phone froze. A battery pull was the only way to fix it, thankfully it hasn't happened since.

Thanks for your help. I think when I put this otter box symmetry on I had some dust or something messing it up. I took it off and it immediately started working. Blew the case out with duster and now I'm good.

That's interesting. My sister doesn't have a case yet so I guess her issue must be different. Btw if it happens again enable developer mode and show touches, maybe your case is causing ghost touches.

Only freeze up I've had was when i was using the camera. Took some pics, recorded a video, took some more pics, exited camera app, phone froze up and i had to pull the battery. I've tried to reproduce it but can't.

So far up to date everything is smooth as silk on this bad boy. Just that stupid feedback when the head jack is plugged in and I can here feedback when I press certain areas our buttons.

Good thinking on the developer options. That might come in handy if I need to take it back to best buy. I've got the headphones Jack issues plugging it into my car stereo as well. Software can fix that so no big deal.
