[Q] Screen often twitches and freezes.. - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im currently running calkulins evio 2 rom v1.8
(however this is not a rom specific issue for me)
2.2
2.15.00.11.19
htc kernel #15
3.70.651.1
1.90_003
While using the phone sometimes in texting, when swyping words, in the browser, in apps, or otherwise.. the screen just.. with lack of better words, "WIGS OUT"
it twitches as if there were 5 other fingers or someone else tapping the screen near the top and the screen twitches and halfway slides, then will just become unresponsive.
To fix it I have to just turn off the screen, then turn it right back on and unlock the phone and its back to normal.
it happens, probably 1 out of every 5 times I unlock the screen and start sending a text. its really starting to rack up though since I use my phone all the time.
I can provide a lot of information,, but,. any ideas so far?
thanks for your consideration.

That happens rarely to me on CM7. Are you overclocking at all? Perhaps re-flash the rom?

since im on calkulins rom im actually underclocking right now.
im not using any governors including setcpu or battery savers, because the script and profiles are built into the rom.
That being said,
Today alone, I have ran EviO 1.8, MIUI 1.24, and warm TwoPointTwo
and this problem has transcended each change of rom...
...
that means its a hardware issue.. right?
:/

How long have you been on the roms? They can be laggy the first 2 days or so. Are you using the pre-installed kernel?

when it first started happening i was on warmtwopoint two and had been on it for probably 2 weeks. the other roms it happens the whole time, from the beginning.
its been going on for almost 3 weeks now.
when on warmtwopoint two i think i was using the preinstalled kernel.
on miui i was using netarchy #11
and the preinstalled htc #15 kernel included in calkulins.

Anyone else had their desire overheat... a lot?

My Desire likes to get very hot around the lower back then turning off (no warning, just black).
I never had this on Stock ROM, even with custom Kernal and SetCPU (perhaps because I only ever underclocked) But now I'm using a MoDaCo ROM (17 and 21 with standard MoDaCo ROM Kernal) it's dying on me. I don't want to have to leave the MoDaCo ROMs becuase I hate sense, What can I do?
Post in the ROM's thread or go back to stock (or try another ROM).
Hi mines did get hot the first 3 days and ate alot of battery but now its all fine but i had never got black screen

[Q] [Custom Kernel Issues New Evo]

Just got my Evo replaced. I had an early 002 version that OC'd to 1228 24/7, ran great, only 3 point touch. I could run each and every kernel released without problems. My USB Charging jack busted and phone wouldn't charge so sprint replaced it. Rev 003 of course. My problem is that every custom kernel i try , i get re-boots, even at stock clocks. Well not full reboots, like a sense reboot. I can use set CPU with all my same profiles, set at 998 max with the stock kernels, and have absolutely no problems. Same CPU settings, or even removing set cpu all together i get the reboots with Kings and Netarchies kernels. I haven't tried them all, but a lot of them. No pattern to the reboots, just randomly happens. Any ideas? Has anybody heard of others with this problem? I can OC to 1192 and it doesn't increase the frequency of the reboots. It doesn't feel like the same stability issues i've experienced with previous high Overclocks. My 002 felt bulletproof when it came to tweaking. i hate that i broke it. This 003 feels fragile
I don't care.

It happens when not overclocked. at stock settings with custom kernel. I know its a lot of rambling, but i think it is all pertinent information. But i have not tried CM6 with the new EVO. Didnt really care for it, but willing to try it for diagnostic purposes. Maybe it'll win me over this time.

Awesome, I dont care that you dont care.
Bump. Bump.
Anybody? This is why i originally posted in dev section. Kernel pros are not hanging around in Q&A.....
Bumpity 10char
i don't use sense based roms or kernels, but i assume this may hold true for them as well.
I've had a couple times where i flashed a kernel that afterwards prevented flashing other kernels. i was unable to successfully flash any kernel (even known good versions...ie: the same .zip i had used in the past).
once i did a full wipe and that fixed it.
the other time i restored a nandroid and after that i could flash as expected.
good luck.

Thanks for input. I've actually done all of that multiple times Even complete un root re-root. Since i couldnt use any custom kernel at all, my 2 week old evo suddenly had a bad usb port so sad. I got my new one today and i've been at 1267 for the past 2 hours.. Awesome!
Ya i have frequent and random reboots running Ava v9 with kings 10 cfs. Plz help. Any fix?

Touch Screen Unresponsive Gap ( a few seconds )

I flashed about 2 days ago from stock to RHD 4 Beta 1, hoping that the problem will solve.
Problem is, that very often I would say, when touching the screen and even the 4 buttons it doesn't take the command.
Sometimes if I am quick enough, I press 2 times and still not receiving feedback, so I would say it lasts from 2-3 seconds and if I continuously use the screen, about 4 times per minute.
That is very annoying. It happened also in ROM stock and also now.
Anybody had that? Any ideas ?
That doesn't sound like a common issue, and it's possible you might have a hardware defect with your phone.
I'd flash it back to stock, or as close as you can find, and take it back to wherever it was purchased for a replacement or repair.

mine does the same with stock, but its not that common it happens like once a week for like 2-3 secs, and you dont need to have apps running, i just took it as it is
I m having no such issues in my DHD and i have used ARHD since very early versions.
Are you using any programs like setcpu or cpuspeed? Which kernel are you using?
If you have your htcsense account on, it would be a better idea to turn it off as well. And finally you can recalibrate your G-sensor (settings ---display)
I did some test with more ROMs. I can confirm that it happens frequently with Stock, Revolution HD 4.0 and LeeDroid 2.3.4.
I also flashed the CM7 Rom and I didn't had that problem, but it was only for test purpose as I still wan't to use HTC Sense.
So it's clearly soft related issue. Something must do this delay. As i am handling very fast everything I use, for me it is not acceptable.
I don't use cpuspeed or setcpu
Kernel is: 2.6.35.10-g4a4b278 ( Wed 16 Feb 2011 )
I don't use HTC Account. Reclibration doesn't help.
I don't think it's a performance problem, because all runs smoothly and it happens regularely exactly after restart ( when processes are starting loading etc ) and when no application runs in background and CPU / RAM is not being heavily used.
I see you use ADHD 2.0.15 and you also tested ADHD 4 beta 2, what I am actually using.
How would you compare those? I assume you don't have the problem.
Ah! ok...it is really a strange problem though, i would say. I never had this issue being touch unresponsive.
Yes of all the ARHD builds 2.0.15 is the best one, IMO. Well, the GB build is still in beta and it lags. The battery life is claimed to be slightly better though. But i could not live without search function (which FC all the time), the tweaks we have for Froyo builds and the overall user experience with froyo is just awesome...and Mike has done great job. At the moment the version i m using is priceless...
Hi,
I have this problem where the screen doesn't respond to my touch for a few seconds.
It's not all the time, but when it happens, it is like it for a while.
My phone is on Orange UK and has not been rooted. It is just as from the factory with apps added.
I will be interested to find out if this is a serious problem or just a minor glitch as it seems to be for me.

You have a similar problem as mine, but not so often.
What do you mean by a serious problem? It depends if it is disturbing you or if you can live with it. It won't get worse as I've seen it is not a hardware problem.
You can do the test by installing CM7 ROM and check if it does again. For me that solved the problem, but as I like to use HTC Sense, it is not an option to stay on the CM7 ROM.

Just a really wild guess, which launcher are you using? As I'm using launcher pro plus and it has a tendency to freeze after restart and the screen has no response for a while, usually it force closes automatically and restarts instantly after and works perfect. I'm on CM7 latest nightly and haven't tried other roms for a while so it might not be comparable. So if you are using launcher pro then try to manually restart it if it doesn't force close itself and start again. And if you're not, well just ignore this

Strange Force Closes/Lag/Unresponsiveness

I'm pretty new to the root scene in general, only since about September when I got sick of not getting the GB update to my phone.
When I first started flashing roms, I started out with Nil's Business Gingersense 2.1/3.0 hybrid, and basically kept sticking to Nils roms from then on. I used a couple different Sense roms, but always came back to Nils with a gingertiny kernel.
A couple weeks ago, I decided to go with a CM just to get a taste of AOSP without Sense. I was using an incredikernel with it, and never seemed to have any problems.
Because I was a fan of the Sense 3.0 lockscreen, I was using MagicLocker on CM, and noticed it was somewhat of a battery hog. I was actually getting better battery life on sense roms with tiny over aosp with incredikernel.
I decided to switch back to Nils 3.0 ROM that I loved and used numerous times. It worked fine upon first flash. I let google restore download my apps *none from my time on CM autorestored?* and after it was all finished, I went back to Tinys 10/23 kernel. Upon flashing, it immediately started force closing everything, and it got to the point where my touchscreen was completely unresponsive, I couldn't even get the screen to turn on/off with the power button. I had to battery pull.
I eventually got the Nils 3.0 rom settled down with a Tiny 10/15 kernel, though only after using the v6 SuperCharger script in Multitasking mode.
I'm once again running into my power button no turning ont he screen, hitting an app and waiting for 3 minutes for it to force close before I can open it again.
What is going on here? I always factory wipe, clear cache, boot/system/davlik at least 3 times. And then battery stats at the end.
I've never had my phone become completely unresponsive when using the same ROM/kernel in the past. Any ideas?

Are you using 128 as your min frequency by any chance? When i use 128 as my min frequencie my phone sometimes becomes unresponsive for seconds at a time, will hotboot it self, or just totally shut down and will require a battery pull to power on again. I ditched thr 128 and havent had the issue since.
That's the min for gingertiny right? If so, then yes. But I've literally never run into this problem since going from CM back to Sense. Never once had it happen during all my different Sense ROM flashes. Could it be something to do with the way CM does it's storage tree vs sense? I'm at a loss right now and just want some ideas on what to look into.
Just randomly got a notification upon reboot that says Package File is Invalid with the standard Triangle with the Exclamation Point in it. First time I've ever seen this error/notification. Is my Inc on the verge of death?

Flash amon ra recovery from rommanager. Then go into the recovery and select other anf fix apk uid mismatches, and fix permissions. You can flash back to clockwork when your done. I would also raise your min freq to 245000, and try that for awile.
Okay, I flashed a Nandroid backup from the very first day I rooted my phone. Then a couple others from other sense ROMs I have run. Every once in a while I'm still dealing with a little lag loading something, and I'm trying to let things settle in for a couple days before I flash a new kernel.
But, a friend at work also has an Inc, and after going from Sense to CM back to Sense, he's experienced similar problems. So I have a vague idea of what the problem is, but literally no idea how to fix it.

You think its the 128 min causing the freeze issue? I don't have the issue on cm with incredikernel. So it must be something with the GB kernel but i'm not sure what yet and don't want to release a new one until that's fixed.

EDIT: I thought i would also mention that this happens on all governers except performance, not just on sa or sa2.

I believe it is. I have tried a couple of times to use 128 as the min, and every time i have issues with it. Usually a random long freeze followed by an automatic hotboot, or just a freeze that requires a battery pull. I have tried raising and lowereing the voltages for 128 with the same results. It usually happens when using system intensive apps like games, google earth, or watching videos on the net. When i go back to 245 i get no issues at all, no freezing and no reboots.
EDIT: I also thought i should mention that this happens with every governor except performance, not just in sa and sa2.

Well i have never used CM, i have always used sense roms.
Try smartass governor (not smartass v2) and see if it helps. I don't know about reboots but there is no wake lag or virtually none.

Ok, I posted a test release in the kernel thread. Please test it if you're having lag issues.
to themancalledx
I had the exact same problem going from aosp to sense. For me it was a pretty simple fix. I hope it works for you. Go into recovery select advanced and then fix permissions. Good luck.
New kernel released. Try that one.

[Q] SOS/Synergy with Lionfish. Really bad lag on my evo

I have a problem that I can't seem to figure out. It started when I first tried the SOS rom with Lionfish. At first everything on my evo was running amazingly smooth. Then out of nowhere My phone started lagging like crazy. Sometimes my screen would take forever to wake up after I pressed the power button. The capacative buttons would light up but the screen would take a few seconds to come on. Sometimes it wouldn't come on at all. I decided to just wipe and try Synergy rom (my current rom) which is supposedly very reliable. After a few days the same exact problems started occuring again. I'm wondering if Lionfish is the issue? Has anyone had a similiar experience? Any help would be much appreciated.
Lionfish is undervolted. Just flash a stock kernel and troubleshoot yourself. Not all phones handle undervolting the same.
