If the problem started to happen after installing a new system, it's not far that this is just a software-related issue wherein the firmware has been bugged or ruined during the process. On the other hand, an incompatible app can be a factor as well that the issue occur on your phone. So, to be sure what really makes the device to function abnormally, then all you need to do is to determine all possibilities until you can figure it out what the real problem is and fix it.
