Hi, this thing is trying to kill me for a long time since my Z3 was on 5.1.1.
Ok, in short.
I had this on 5.1.1 (any)
No problem at all on 6.0 (.570/.151)
The problem is back on N Preview (2/3) absolutely vanilla. No root or ad-blocker.

I have to restart my phone every time this happens. Clearing cache will not help at all. It has been said somewhere that this problem is not related to the rom. (Yeah, but I don't think so.)
So, whoever have this problem and fixed can help me out? Or is it the known problem which cannot be fixed?
Thanks in advance.

I assume that you unlocked your bootloader, right?

Same for me. On a locked bootloader and Android N preview 3.. But I do have to say that the problem occured after unlocking my bootloader..
Still, it is locked now, I have my DRM keys restored and it still gives me issues :(

I might know what's going on. It could be related to some DRM functions when unlocking bootloader. As far as I know downgrading to KK or upgrading to official MM fixes it. Othen then that ROM's like LP, N and MM concept has this problem. I think sony fixed this in official MM. Anyway for Lollipop and Concept you can try to use this fix, but you need root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64763489&postcount=4
It helped for me and it should help for you.
Cheers :)

Well, this might be the cause. The weird thing is the problem was gone with MM. I'm confused now lol :eek:
Btw. I'm on locked right now but I had unlocked the bootloader before.

Thank you so much. I'm on MM right now but if I can get root access on N, I will try and inform you back. :)

Edit: I completely forgot about that android N rooting thread. It has cool stuff right now so I'm going to unlock and try it right away.
Edit2: That method failed for me so I will try it later when I have time.

I got this problem too on android n preview 3, locked bootloader and not rooted. I noticed that whenever it happens, video recording fails as well, which might help resolve the issue. rebooting takes care of it momentarily though.
