Hello all,
My phone is not working properly. I've had some bugs most people seem to be having, but now I have something which is quite annoying. I can't find it on these forums or anywhere on the internet.
I have seen a 1 line reference to my problem here:

Flaws & annoyances with the HTC Desire (with workarounds!) [updated Apr 23, 2010
Hardware defects. Eg. Dust under screen, device not going into standby properly. Most of us don't experience these. Contact your retailer to exchange the unit or HTC to claim warranty.
So, I seem to have this problem. The phone wakes up with whatever button I press, and I don't have to unlock the phone. I have a unlock pattern set. It also doesn't ask me for this.
I couldn't find a proper topic about this problem, but I assume I'm not the only one. Is there a fix, or is it a hardware problem?
It wouldn't make sense to me if it's a hardware problem since the screen does turn off when I press the 'power' button.
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks, Bart.
Which Lock?
are you using the built in lock or a third party lock app? I had the same problem when I used LockBot. If it's the standard lock, have you tried Powering the phone off then back on?
I am just using the built in application. I haven't used any other lock app.
I have tried turning the phone off twice, and both times it came back (might have been after charging it, but I don't know at all if that's the reason).
edit: I'm gonna try to recreate the problem with restarting and trying to find out when it stops working properly.
edit2: I restarted now... and it hadn't saved the new background I set... strange... :/
edit3: Ok, it still locks itself... I guess I'll just need to wait and see when it doesn't work anymore... maybe it's just a matter of time for it to stop working...
The problem that you quote in your opening post is probably the problem concerning the Desire (or rather an application running on the Desire) not properly releasing a wake lock which causes severe battery drain, e.g. the calendar app about which another thread exists.
Your problem seems to be quite strange. You do not happen to have an application called 'No lock' installed, right?
No, I don't have 'No lock' installed.
I use 2 calander widgets though... (the little one on my home screen, and an more advanced one on another screen.)
I've got quite some applications installed though... I'll just type them here, maybe someone can see something wrong...

I'm just trying some of the stuff of course... It's quite a long list...
Maybe Kaloer Clock brakes something?
I'll use it tonight again, going to sleep soon... Maybe it'll be broken again tomorow.
Lets hope it wont brake again... but that's probably too optimistic.
First off: sorry for the double post, but I have some new information which will also mean the end of this topic.
This morning it didn't work anymore, and the only application that did it's thing this night was the kaloer clock (night clock).
I looked at the settings, and there are some settings about screen lock.
It's not clear at all, but I changed some settings, and it locks again.
So, I guess it was just me using an app which I didn't fully understand. I'm glad you guys helped me though. And I'm definitely glad that my problem is solved!
my phone has a big lag when hanging a call , showing me : call tine : xx xx
i can`t use anything until this message disappear, and the bad thing is that it stays there for around 6-7 seconds.
this is not happening all the time, but in 7 times from 10 calls is there.
i am using the MOTO Blur launcher, Moto_Version.2.5.1.1.MB525.Retail.en.CEE
what should i do ? is there a fix or something ?
should i try another launcher ?
edit: with Launcher Pro, free version , it happens the same thing, but rarely.
Try to use a different dialer:
Dialer One
Get on Market.
I think this can solve your problems.
and another thing related to lag is that when i receive a call , somethimes i slide the green "thing" , but nothing happens , and after 2 seconds or so , the call is on.
if i slide it all the way to the right to answer , nothing happens, the screen remains the same , with the "slide to answer" or "slide to ignore" slides .. and after 2 seconds, the call is connected
i have to be patient, and press repeatedly the "slide to answer" to actually move the slide to the right.
this is kind of annoying .
i have few applications installed : Adobe Reader, Angry Birds, Battery Mix, Bluetooth File Transfer, 2g-3g OnOff, ClockQ, Facebook , Flashlight, IMDb, Linda Manager, MyPhoneExplorer, Smooth Calendar, SoundHound .
i don`t think any of these apps has something to do related with my problem , if so , please report to me

You can use a app named OS Monitor to see what is eating your cpu.
If your rom is a Stock one, something you installed is interfering with you phone dialer.

cpu use by each application?
Is not the cpu use total you want, but the individual use by app currently running.

With OS Monitor on, call your cellphone from another phone and monitor what goes up in cpu usage...
No idea about the problem. If nothing else works, you may try a factory reset/wipe.
This is not a new issue. Posts I've read have solved it by going into the dialer app under "manage applications" and clearing data. Maybe will work for you.

the stock dialer doesn't appear in the " manage applications", only apps that you install from market or any other sources .
i installed another dialer , Dialer One, and under manage applications, it hasn't any "clear cache" option
guess that clearing data by going into the dialer app under "manage applications" is not possible.
any other ideas ?

i did that and called me from another phone, answered, and the same thing in OS Monitor, only Android System 2-10-15-20%, OS Monitor 25-30%, and Launcher Pro 1-2 % ..
after i hang up, the 3-4 seconds of lag was there, and after disappearing , the dialer had an 12% value, and reduced to 0% in 2 seconds.
i`ll do a soft reset, hope that will be the case
off topic : what`s the difference between soft reset , hard reset and wipe data ?
I've got the same problem. Dialer (stock or custom, no difference) on my defy lags even more. It can take from 4 seconds to 10 at least. Sometimes if you get calls the moment you hang up the previous one, it slows down even more, so the dialer is completely unresponsive for quite a long time. Only a turn-off->on helps, which I completely hate because of that irritating loud sound (even when on vibrate) when turning off or on.
This is stock 2.1, not rooted phone. I only have launcherpro running, everything else is on default. I'm going to do a complete reset and see if the problem is gone, but I'm not too hopeful.
Guys, I had the same problem.. My new phone (Eclair, Not yet rooted) used to lag a lot whenever I end a call, It just freezes, So I did the following steps:
* Goto Settings-> applications-> Manage applications
* Tap the menu button (the first soft key button) and tap on "filter"
* Select the option "All" and now in the list of applications select Dialer
* tap the "clear data" button
* Go to home and Dialer -> recent and "clear List"
This solved my problem, Hope it solves yours as well.

As you can see, it is not only possible, but designed to be cleared. Basic stuff. Clearing data from the application manager was a daily routine on the old G1. Generally if something slows down, this is the first place to look.

Hey guys,
I've been having issues with the Widgetlocker lockscreen recently, and was wondering if any of this will ring a bell with someone.
I recently flashed the KJ2 2.3.5 ROM (the XEU non-wipe Frankenstein one), and i've also flashed CF-Root and then the Speedmod kernel. I'm in the UK, on O2 (debranded to XEU) and i have no issues with the phone whatsoever. I even get great battery life. It's just this damn widgetlocker issue that's grating on me!
For some reason when i wake the phone up and try to unlock it by using the slider (i just use the default 'Android' one for unlocking - the only other things i have are a couple of widgets for missed calls & texts and a battery % one) a lot of the time the slider does not repond to touch. It doesn't always happen, but maybe a good one out of every three times it happens. And the weird part is, if i then just wait about 5 seconds, then it suddenly responds and i can unlock the phone. Obviously having another 5 seconds on top of the already present lag when pressing the home button is not good, and because of this i'm thinking of not using WL anymore.
I've been through all of the settings, i'm almost 100% sure it's not something in there. Can anyone help with this?
Cheers guys.
Happens with me too sometimes. Another issue is if you keep pressing Menu button 4-5 times the phone gets unlocked and takes you to the home screen.
Hey, just wanted to post that i finally figured out what the problem was.
I'm using an .apk to help with the touchscreen sensitivity. See vitalij's thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18999801#post18999801
Well it turns out on 2.3.5 vitalij's .apk has some issues with the most up-to-date superuser. The solution, so far, isn't great but gets the job done, is to uninstall the .apk, and then re-install. The important part is not to click on 'enable service' in the app! So basically each time you want to use the app you have to open it and hit 'apply' on whatever setting you need. The setting will work until you next turn the screen off. For me this workaround is actually ok, as the only time i ever really used it was for the odd game, so i'm happy to just do it manually on these occassions.
disable root helper
madrano, can you expand on what you mean by this? i have tried enabling & disabling root helper but if i remember correctly the problem was still there.
The problem: GBWhatsapp, after the phone is locked for a while, gets its bg service killed, making it unable to receive messages (and Whatsapp Web from working) until I turn on the phone and launch it again.
I tried tweaking all revelant settings, as per this guide here from this post , even doing the hold-and-lock-app thing in the recent apps menu. Only thing I couldn't do, due to the setting not being there in MIUI 10, is turning off Memory Optimization.
After checking in the developer options ("Running services") it seems the process does in fact keep working, but the "MessageService" that usually runs is killed.
The problem is not with the GBWhatsapp mod itself, as in my previous Samsung phone it worked with 0 issues. Any idea on what to do? I'm tempted to just make an AutoMate flow that periodically launches GBWA.

The same heappend to me. You have to set energy optimization to no restriction and set the app to autostart.
I fell no downside on battery life.

Already done that, still not working, sadly. It was in the linked guide.
(Also not even starting the app when the phone is locked through automate seems to work dammit)

Well... Look into notification settings, permission... Give it all. Are you up to date on whatsappgb?
What rom are you using?
Rom is stock MIUI 10, and all notification settings are ok. Also gave it all permissions avaiable, and I downloaded GBWA from the website yesterday since this was a new phone.
same problem in realme phones..not getting online toast feature also..its workng old phones without any pblm..
Hello everyone, i've been experiencing this problem for a while now: every time i put an app in the background (swipe up on gesture / middle button in traditional), Android immediately closes it for me. I keep seeing in the list of open apps (long swipe up on gesture / square key in traditional) the apps I should have in the background but as soon as I open them it's like I'm starting them for the first time, not saving anything I was doing before. So far i've been able to live with it, but now I can't postpone this problem anymore.
What i tried so far:
Restarted the phone several time
Turned off adaptive battery and battery optimization
Turned off energy saving
Didn't touch anything in the developer settings
And i got another issue probably linked to this one: in the GMail app, the notifications for multiple accounts only works to the account you are viewing, not to the others. (Example: If i'm connected to two accounts, A and B, and i'm viewing B's emails, if i receive an email on A's account the notification won't work. If i receive the email on B's account while i'm viewing A's emails, it won't work either).
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Just in case you want to know i'm currently on 11.0.5.0 build.
EDIT 2: Link to my reply with a possible solution to the application issue: LINK

Xiaomi team for our device is at fault. If you want the best android experience you should buy Pixel phones.
I'm also having this problem. Seems that restart helps a bit for some time but not for long. It is really an awful experience to use the phone like this. Having the 4 GB version.
It's the first time that I'll complain about this phone! But the use is unbearable now! I have the 4gb version too! I hope the next update fixes things
As far as I know, this problem is common on our device. If the next update isn't going to fix it, then I'm switching to a custom ROM. HavocOS, RebelOS or LineageOS 17.1.
Never had this problem before but is indeed the first time I'm also considering a custom Rom too!
If you're rooted you can fix this using LSpeed app
Hello again, i apologize for being away for a while, but i had personal problems.
I just wanted to reply to my own thread because today i updated to 11.0.7.0 build, but they don't seem to have solved anything? The changelog says only
Optimization: Increased system stability. Reduced system lag

(other than June Security Patch). I'm reading the replies now, and i have to tell you that (currently) i can't root or install a Custom Rom because it would conflict with my bank's application.
So, once again, no support from Xiaomi... but the great news is that i may have found a solution for the application problem! I will link this reply to the main post, so you can find it more easily, let me know if it works for you too!
What i did:
Disabled Adaptive Battery under "Settings -> Battery ->Adaptive Battery"
Disabled Night brightness (also the plannings)
Disabled Do Not Disturb (also the plannings)
Disabled Rest mode (if any)
Rebooted the phone
Try it out with two application, and if you want to reactivate some features after the reboot, i discovered that "Adaptive Battery" creates problems only after some days since it's turned on, so i suggest to keep it disabled. For the other settings, i can't confirm anything because i haven't tried yet, so let me know.
Thanks
Finaly it worked. :good:
I was searching for this problem for a long time.
Your solution worked with me.
I want to say:
I already jave disabled adaptive battery, Night brightness and Don't disturb mode. But only Recovery mode I needed to disable it, then I rebooted the phone.
Now I can switch between applications, and no application have been closed.
Thank you
what recovery mode do you think?where can I find it? thanks
