at&t tilt unlocked - now slow - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

I unlocked my at&t tilt about 4 months ago and ever since it has been very slow. Every time I stop using the phone for about 6 sec the phone just goes into hibernation even though I set the back light to 2min. Most of the time there is no response when I tap on screen or use a random button on phone.
The phone always freezes for no reason. When placing a call no mater how many times or how long i hold a number down it will not do a thing, it usually takes a while for it to work normally. Did I do something wrong when I tried to unlock my phone, because prior to unlocking I never had a single problem with the phone, or is this a problem with every at&t tilt out there after unlocking?.
I am pretty clueless when it comes to this sort of stuff, it took me ALL DAY for me to successfully unlock my phone.
What do I need to do.
Thanks for all reply's

indeterministical crashes

Hello,
I have a strange problem with my HTC Artemis (O2 XDA branded, bought in Germany, no lock)
It behaves unstable and indeterministic.
Unstable means that it crashes/stucks or turns off.
Indeterministic means that it happens when i plugg it to charger, when i'm syncing, when a phone rings, when using applications/tomtom or just i arrive to work and i find the device off.
When it crashes or i find it off, the biggest problem is to boot the device. It takes me typically 10mins, when i'm always trying to press the power button, push the reset button or unplugg the battery for a while in random order until i bring it to work.
After first crach, the device also often crashes or stucks again during the boot process.
Once, the device was so dead, that it took me two days to bring it into bootloader mode and then i could at least flash the ROM.
All these was happening with ARTEMIS TOUCH 4.01 WWE - LITE NO CUBE.
Yesterday, i switched to ARTEMIS TOUCH 4.02 WWE - LITE NO CUBE (burned FW twice) without installing any other applications and the problems are still here
My personal feeling is that it is getting every week worser.
When i bought the device (eBay), there was original FW with Win Mobile 5 on it, i immediately flashed to ARTEMIS TOUCH 3.01(?) WWE - FULL WITH CUBE, i can only remember that that time I had a problem with gsm radio - from time to time i found it stucked/off - to bring it to work i had to reset the device. So i flashed to 4.01 and this issue was away, but approx 2months ago, the above described behaviour has started and nowdays i'm fighting with it 2-3x a day.
so, can anybody help?

Similar here
I have a similar problem, what's really strange to me is, that as far as i can recall it started happening 2 months ago or so also!! weird huh...
my device simply reboots from time to time! even while i'm making a call.
the weird thing about these reboots is that when it comes back to live i do not have to enter my pin to enable the phone! everytime i perform a manual reboot (by software, using the pin or remove battery) i have to insert my pin to able to make a call...
i have upgraded from 3.01 full touch to 4.02 full touch about the time it started, i have now 4.02 vanilla touch but problem still occurs from time to time.
any ideas?
Im another one to join this boat!
Bought an MDA C 3, two days ago, bought of someone from gumtree.com.
Worked fine for the first hour, and then locked up - nothing on the screen, no LED. Only way to get it going was to remove battery and then press power button.
I upgraded the ROM from the original t-mob UK WM5 to mechles fine release: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=371182
The lock-ups / crashes have now become rarer, on average every 4 hours (before was every 1 hour).
There is no pattern to them either, although I have saw the screen trun all corrupted just before it happens. The last one was caused when I pressed the 'start' button.
I'm on a T-Mob contract, and lost my Kaiser, got ripped of when I tryed to replace it by a tosser on here for $375 Thief on the loose thread, and was hoping my luck had changed when I bought this one!!
It is T-mob branded and I wonder if there isn't a fix on here, would T-Mob repair it under warranty??
same "issue" with no entering of PIN after reboot. But not always

here i found a good description of that issue:

I have been using this rom for a while and sometimes, without any visual warning the phone freezes up. This is particularly ennoying because there is no way to check wether it is working or not. Every other function or software keeps working ! The phone is just not receiving any calls or sms. So you can miss an entire day of calls and sms without knowing... Only when trying to call somebody the dialer says 'Dialing...' and nothing happens. No connection.
A soft reset is needed to get the phone working again.

btw, now i'm again trying to turn the device on, it's again stuck. grrr
Hello,
i had a few weeks ago a similar strange behaviour.
After changing the sd-card I had problems to turn the device on. After a hard reset it began to boot but hang.
The I flashed back to original O2 ROM. Then I had a unpredictable behaviour. Somtimes no sound. Sometimes I cound not be called. Sometimes Error message "no sim card". After every reset i had an other error.
Hard reset and flashing was no solution. Removing battery for less than 4 hours has no effect.
Then I wanted to send it back for repair. I took of the battery. The next day I wanted to try a last time and surprise: The device works fine without an error. Its hard to believe, but the removal of the battery for more than 8 hours was the solution.
Now I use it for 5 weeks without a problem.
regards
Andre
It is Happening to my device too!!
It stucks every 2-3 hours!Tried many of the cooked ROMs but nothing.Also tried all the radio roms for 1-2 days.still the same!
It stucks with no particular reason.SOmetimes in s2u2 sometimes when am receiving a call.... etc.
Had the pin problem too for 3-4 times!
I will try your sugestion ANDRE and we will see!
Also i will try flashing the original rom,cid unlock and then flash the cood rom twice!
Fingers crosed....

happy u
now, i will try to flash back original german o2 rom
I think mine is sorted now, thanks to a new battery.
Installed it on Wednesday and hasn't died/crashed once since then.
I did notice before that the battery was getting warm, and I stuck the handset on the vent of my AC in the car, and this seemed to make the phone more stable.
Got one from Deal Extreme or try the XDA shop.
It worked for me!!
bricked or not?
did my device get bricked?
last friday i wanted to change firmware and during step1-cid unlocking (device should never been cid locked) pda got stucked. So i unplugged it and since then i cannot turn it on or get it into bootloader mode.
the only proof of life is when I take away battery and plugg it to power supply, then the red diod turns on and off for 1/2sec.
any idea what to do?

so my device ist still dead
is there any possibility to hard flash bootloader (when corrupt)? or the only way is to change the mainboard?

the good sign are the leds that means you have a very good chance...the guy made the piont...check the wiki
random crashes are often caused by hardware malfunction...sometimes the connection on the motherboard stuck,get broken or make a short-circuit...so check the hardware

Tmo TP2 Shuts off all by itself.

I have a t-mobile tp2. I put on the htc 6.5 firmware on and it was working very well. All of a sudden, i come to use the phone and it's turned off. I can't even turn it on. I have to take the battery off and then turn it on. I thought something with the firmware was corrupt so i loaded a different firmware. Same thing! Happens about once a day. Sometimes i can go a day or so without it doing it. Is my phone bad? Any advice? Thanks!
Before you upgreaded to wm 6.5 it was the same way?
I've got an EU version with the stock HTC 6.5 upgrade which happens to be connected to TM UK. I too get these occasional lock-ups but I don't think the phone turns off, just refuses to wake up (had one today and the green LED notification was still blinking) - again a battery removal and soft reset is the only cure.
I've been getting less since a hard reset last week but still once every few days - somewhat annoying!
My touch pro 2 does the same thing. Except i have narrowed down the symptoms to after the phone goes on stand by for 3rd or 4th time. It doesnt turn off it actually goes into like a stand by that it can't come out of unless you soft reset the phone. Which is really weird. I am running 6.5. i have replaced everything and can not figure out what is causing it to do it. i have cooked so many different roms with no luck. I am also using build 28002. any help please!! i hate to have to soft reset my phone every 15 minutes or so... very annoying.

Touch Pro 2 Turns off randomly

I have this new T-Mobile Touch Pro 2. I currently have the Stock European ROM (6.5) on it. Before that, I was using the TMO 6.5 version. My problem is that the phone randomly freezes/dies/turns itself off while sitting idle. And every time it happens, I either have to soft reset it or take the battery out and put it back in to turn it back on. Simply pressing the power button doesn't do anything. Funny thing is that this phone is a replacement that was sent to me by T-Mobile because my first device was doing the same thing (which I had for about a month). T-Mobile tech support was just as lost as me. Can anyone here help me?
I have the exact same problem! Have you found a solution or at least learned the cause of the problem ?
Phone turns off ramdomly
Hi
I have the same problem the phone is shutting down ramdomly without any warning and i have to use the power button to turn it on again
any solution guys ??
Did you task29 the rhodium before flashing the new rom?
Sometimes flashing the new rom doesn't clear the memory properly leaving traces of old files to foul up the operation. Flashing task29 before flashing a new rom will stop this.
After you flash task29 there will be NO os on the rhodium. You will need to pull the battery, Put it into bootloader and then flash new rom from PC or use sd card method.
Cheers...
I have exactly the same problem, 2-3 times a day, I need to soft reset it. The phone was working well until I moved from 6.1 (original) to 6.5; I believe the new radio has issues. Any recommendation, flashing the radio does not solve the problem.
I used to have 1-3 SODs a day. Now I have only one SOD a month. My solution was to remove compact framework 3.5 and that weathersolution where you can add new cities. By the way; I upgraded to WM 6.5. Before the upgrade I had no SODs.
Sorry to bring up an old topic, but I recently acquired a Touch Pro 2 (RHOD100, original HTC model) and having exact the same issue. There's no saying when it's happening, but always during an action. Had it when pressing the End key after a call, when pulling the Usb cable from the device, and during other things too.
Hardware seems fine, battery is firmly in place and contacts are fine, and clean.
Having factory WM 6.5 Rom on it. And like mentioned before, I also do have Compact Framework 3.5 installed since it's required by some of my software.
Anyone ever found a solution that's confirmed to solve the issue?
I'm sorry for bumping up an old thread but after doing a search this was the first one that was listed which isn't 'That old'. I have just bought one of these phones, brand new, from factory. It comes with windows 6.5 and runs the OS version for the phone is - 5.2.21887 (21887.5.0.86) The phone seems to randomly just shut off without notice and to be able to turn it back on again to use it, I've got to take the battery out and put it back in again, then it will be able to turn back on. When the phone does enter the state of completely turning itself off. I have noticed that my notification LED light does flash green, I don't know why it does this. But if anyone has some help for me to sort this problem out and enable me to use my phone perfectly then that would be great!
Yet again, sorry for bumping up an oldish thread

[Q] (Android) Stuck in lock screen?

Hey,
I switched to XDAndroid like a week ago, and so far I'm liking it alllot. I do, however, have a big trouble. When I lock the screen and leave the phone for a while, its almost impossible to unlock / wake it up.. It usually takes allot of time / allot of tries. Is this a common problem and is there a fix for this?
Thanks for your time
Also having this problem. Seems to happen after about ~30min in deep sleep. And not sure if it's related, but last night I locked my phone and plugged it in to go to bed around midnight. When I woke up the phone was booted back into windows mobile. I received a text on android around 12:17am but received a text on windows mobile at 12:45am.

At&t Note 4 Keeps Freezing And Rebooting Randomly

Hello Smart People,
I have an unlocked at&t note 4 and for the past 2 week my phone will freeze for 1-2 minutes then it will be useable again or if it is not doing that will randomly reboot when I am using the phone. So benging of last week I called tmobile since I have them now. I spoke to tech support. Told them my problem and they had me turn off the phone and take the sd card out and then boot into recovery to clear the cache. That did not work. Within 5 minutes of have the phone back at the home screen it froze again. So tmobile said that it was not the sd card in the phone. Told me to turn the phone off and put the sdcard back in the phone. Then I rebooted back the home screen. They said that at this point all I could do was back the info on my phone and do a master factory reset of the whole phone. I told them I could not do it right then and there. They said if it still happens after the master factory reset then you will need to get the phone reflashed to have the software fully reinstalled and they could not do the reflash of the software since my phone was an at&t branded version of the note 4 so I would have to call at&t and see if they could reflash it for me. So the next day I backed up my phone using samsung smart switch software on my pc and master factory reset the phone from the recovery menu. When it was done I resetup the phone and it still froze and reboot randomly. So I called at&t and spoke to tech support and told them my problem and what tmobile say to do. They told me they could do the reflash but since I am no longer a customer they was nothing they could do for me. But I could go to best buy to a Samsung experience store and they could reflash my phone with for me with the latest software that at&t had out. So I went to the Samsung store inside of best buy. I told the lady my problem and what tmobile had me do and what at&t told me. She told me she could do the reflash but I already had the latest version of the at&t software on my phone all ready. I told her that tmobile told me the hardware in my phone is all good and that however I got the at&t update it did not apply correctly and that I need a reflash. She took my phone and started to plug in to her computer to do the reflash. After it was done she gave me my phone back. On the screen it was in recovery mode trying to reboot back to the phone screen. I showed the phone to the Samsung store lady and she told me I had to wait and it would reboot to the home screen. I thanked the lady for helping me out and left the best buy store. Got to my car and the phone now had a black screen so I took out the battery and put it back in and turned on the phone and it booted in to recovery mode not the home screen. From the recovery screen I picked reboot the phone and once again booted to recovery mode. So I walked back in to best buy and talked to the Samsung lady and was like this is very weird it should not be doing this. She also took out the battery and put it back a few times. Still phone was rebooting to recovery mode and not the home screen. So she called her tech support to figure out how she could fix my problem since now my phone was 100% not useable. The Samsung lady’s tech support had her plugin the phone to the computer again and reflash the software. But it failed at 3%. She was told to tried it again it failed at 20% this time. So she was told try it again and it failed this time at 50%. So she was told to try it one last time and this time it went all the way to 100% and she keep the phone connected to the pc until it was fully rebooted but again it rebooted to the recovery more screen not home screen. She told me that she would have to keep my phone and next day ask Samsung for the full flash of the software to download for my phone since she only had the latest update. So I left my phone with her and waited for her to call me and let me know that my phone was all good to go. I went back the second day after giving Samsung my phone and the lady told me that she did not run the full flash because she came in the first day after I give her my cell phone and it was at the home screen. I thanked the lady and left the best buy store. When I got home I download an app from the google play store and the phone rebooted on me. So the problem is still there! The phone so far has not frozen on me which I guess in grand scheme of things is good, but I am not calling this over just yet. So smarter people of xda Is there anything I can do to fix this phone so I can still use it and not have to worry about it or is it time to just bite the bullet and get a new phone even though there is nothing out that I like.
We're in the same boat
I am having the same exact issue. I just got my phone flashed at the Samsung experience kiosk at best buy only to use it and find out it still randomly slows down then crashes and restarts. It at times crashes as its restarting and continues a boot loop for a while. What can be done?
1.Battery is about to die or 2. Uninstall good luck
I'm having the same issue with my ATT Note 4 it started a couple weeks ago as well
Was in the same boat
Install a app called WakeLock from the play store. Use the level 4 option and yours troubles will be gone.
I had the same issue for 2 weeks and then came across this gem on one of the forums. Has not caused an issue for the last 2 weeks now.
Is that app wake lock powermanager be Darken? There are a few wakelock apps.
I'm in same boat as well. NOTE 4 worked great until a few weeks ago. Then MANY freezes, reboots, etc. I almost think aTT pushed something down intentionly (ita called planned obscellesence) to force an upgrade. Not reall5, but I do wonder .

Worked like a charm!
Edit. Worked for a while but apparently my battery was trash. New battery came yesterday and solved all issues i was having.
WOW! I was ready to throw my note 4 in the garbage because of all that crud! This app is AWESOME and did fix my issues. Thanks a ton for those that recommended it. My note 4 runs wonderful now, and probably will be PLENTY sufficient for me for another 2-3 years. Unfortunately, this issue has REALLY dampened my outlook on SAMSUNG and cell companies for that matter. It's in their best interest that people DO upgrade phones every 2 years or so.
Help please
Brother I have a problem, I upgrade my computer to Marshmallow 6.1.1, but to days if I used the camera, the phone was turned off and I had to remove the battery and by odin I downloaded it to version 5.1.1 but now I reboot Every time, it overheats, if I restart the phone does not turn on if I do not remove the battery the same I turn it off, try to install version 6.1.1 but do not leave the rescovery mode and install version 5.1.1 but with the Failures that I just comment.

battery issues
Just want to say was about to throw out my note 4 this week for the same issues. I installed the wake lock app (darken), have it set on 'partial wake lock' and AMAZING my phone seems to be operating normally! Thank you, and spread the word.
Wow! Thanks to all for the great tip. You saved my Note 4!
Since the latest OTA ROM upgrade from AT&T, (6.0.1, baseband N910AUCS2EAK5) my normally solid note 4 phone worked like garbage! It would slow way, way down, especially on a strenuous task, and quite often reboot spontaneously. It was so frustrating, I had to carry a second phone just to make sure I could be reached.
I did everything - wiped cache, factory reset and was just about to ODIN flash an earlier ROM when I can across this tip on XDA. This Wakelock app is phenomenal!
It seems as though Samsung / AT&T released the last patch with faulty power management. This app bypasses the whole issue by NOT allowing the phone to enter deep sleep. Problem Solved! Perhaps battery life takes a small hit, but who cares! We just have to hold on until the Note 8 arrives!
---------- Post added at 02:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:39 PM ----------
Totally donating to Darken (via play store) for saving my phone from the garbage, and saving me $500 to upgrade to a phone I don't want! Best $2.31 ever!
Still need the app
I just did the OTA upgrade from AT&T. I am now on baseband N910AUCS2EQD1 (6.0.1) I was hoping this upgrade would fix the problems, but it didn't. Still need the app!
my daughters note 4 has been randomly rebooting and sometimes when it reboots it sticks at the att symbol or it even goes to download mode? it started after att did a update . i told here to try the wakelock and let me know how it goes but has anyone had it reboot where it says could not reboot then has the android and do not shut off target?
Would anyone happen to know how well Wake Lock plays with Good Lock and/or power saving mode? My battery is ready to retire (seems to be at about half-capacity if that's the right terminology, new one on the way) and I've been having these freezes and reboots happen to me over the last few weeks; often at annoying inconvenient times.
My new battery should be here before this week ends, but I'm just looking for some insight for the few days in the interim. Thank you in advance for any responses​.
...Noted (SM-N910A)
well tried wake lock and it seemed to help but did not fix the problem, phone was flawless and worked perfect before 6.01 . now reboots during call and downloading updates from playstore ect. sent it to samsung and they said it would be $70 to repair so i sent it in. they called and said the screen has ghosting and need a lcd, i think they broke it and didnt want to pay for it but they had it and i had to get it fixed. i now have it back with the newest att rom and updates with a new motherboard housing and screen for $185 but it works perfect like it did before with 5.0 so there is a hardware issue gong on with certain boards from what i have been reading in other forums its the early production ones. must be ram or internal sd who knows but whatever it is the marshmallow rom brings it out. did not want to spend the money but it was worth it. no lag and very snappy again and no reboots. i wish samsung would admit there is a issue with the note 4
