Try flashing ruu. If it still isn't working then its a hardware issue. Send phone to warranty

  • Create a NANDROID backup now.
  • Wipe everything before ROM installation.
  • See if the issue resolves
  • If that fails, perform a restore.
  • Change CID & re-install 3.32 firmware & check if issue resolved. #
  • If that fails, then hardware issue for sure.

#Flashing firmware won't touch your ROM, so don't worry.
