[Q] phone freezes when idleing

I have I really annoying problem, when I use sense roms (only sense, not AOSP) my phone freezes almost instantly when going to sleep.
This results in the phone not ringing when people call me, and first receiving texts after i reboot the phone.
And the only way to reboot it, is to remove the battery.
If anyone knows what is causing this, please let me know how to fix it, this problem have made me miss many really important calls.
Thanks in advance

i had the same problem with official 2.2 sense rom (don't know with 2.3, i switched yesterday) , but only when i was on a place with bad network.. In big town like Paris no problem, but when i moved to smallest town with bad network i experienced same freeze...
When you hit a button only the button backlight turn on?

Exactly, only the button backlight comes on.
But I have fine reception at my location
Thanks for the reply

Did you use setcpu?
Usually it happen when you use setcpu and you make screen off profile 128 mhz.

Not anymore, because I had the same idea that that could be the problem, but it still freezes
Thanks for the reply

Today it has frozen 4 times.
And every time with massive battery drains, about 15% in a short period of time.

[Q] Hour Changes

Hello everyone,
My Arc S, sometimes (not that much) changes time for 10 minutes (or something like that) earlier.
I have the automatic detection settings and then, when I realize it happened, I have to change it manually.
I have stock ICS ROM, any Idea?

Does the phone have random reboots every so often? If so it could be a problem with the kernel and it just keeps the time before it crashes and reboots. Which kernel are you using?
BTW, my automatic update doesn't work at all, it constantly thinks is 1980......

[How To Fix] Strange things happening to my N7100

Hi Here is bunch of things started happen without reason and cant find fix.
1. Gallery app freez for over a minute and crash if the phone is connected to wifi, but works perfectly if connected to 3g or not connected to any thing.
note: i unchecked photo sync for every account because i noticed that when the gallery freezes the wifi traffic is too high
2. Homescreen picture changes after making or receiving calls from certain contacts .

It's interesting that you mentioned this-I have been having a weird wifi hang lately and twice I have had the home screen wallpaper Change on me when it happened

Whenever I reboot my Phone it asks me which launcher I wish to use. Even if I choose to always use adw.
Anyone knows how to fix this?

hi thanks for taking interest in to my thread
When exactly the wifi hang , because i noticed that when the phone is waking from a deep sleep the wifi takes about 5 to 10 seconds to get back to full signal .
Does the wallpaper changed after you received or made a call?

hi thanks for taking interest in to my thread
try to clear the launcher defaults then restart and then select the adw to be default.
the idea is to restart with the default cash clear. it may help , tell me if it worked.

My wife uses different ring tones for different contacts. The problem is that every now and then it defaults to the main chosen ring tone and have to set them again. I was wondering if any usual updates to apps may be causing it.
Anyone else with this problem?

May be that happens when she plug the phone to the pc to add or remove media . The media scaner that runs after she unplug may cause loss of assigned ringtones. If that is the problem try using airdroid from the market its free very easy to use. If not try to know when exactly that happens .

Thanks for the quick reply. The phone has never been physically connected to the pc. Only connections are via Bluetooth to transfer photos etc. Will check next time if anything changes after Bluetooth connection though.

I can't remember, to be honest.
My note is set to disable the lockscreen when wifi connects to certain WIFI routers. (work/home).
I suspect that might be the problem, but I can't for the life of me remember what program is turning on/off the lockscreen.
Never seen any issues when getting/making calls.

Strange thing: if I choose touchwiz to always open as default then reboot it doesn't ask for launcher again. If I choose adw it asks every time I reboot

[Q] Loud click/pop noise

Has anyone else experienced this? I can't quite pinpoint when it happens, sometimes it's when the flash comes on, other times it just happens randomly. Opening images/videos sometimes does it too.
It comes from around the back but I can't tell if it's the light making the noise or if it's coming from the speaker. Very strange. On the odd occasion it will restart the phone immediately after the noise.

+1 i also get this sometims after exiting a games,switching apps and phone either freezes or restarts any idea what this might be ?

Mine clicks without fail after closing a RAM or CPU heavy app, e.g winamp, apps with 3d rendering.

yes thats the thing that hapens to me and its been hapening since i bough the device from day 1 i though it was normal .. :/

Well at least I'm not the only one then! I've googled it before hoping someone might know what causes it (even if it happens on other devices) but I couldn't find anything.

I have this issue too on stock GB.
To start solving it, could anyone confirm if it appeares only on GB or on JB too?

[Q] Vibration Option Missing After ROM Upgrade

Hi guys,
So i upgraded my T989D from Koodo stock 4.1.2 to PAC-MAN v23.0.0 from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332229 .
Everything was running fine for the first 2 days (besides having to set the governor to samsung, as default interactive would severely lag the phone). However, yesterday the phone froze and would not turn on properly (would get stuck on CM boot screen). Eventually after a few battery pulls it loaded up, but I cannot put the phone into vibrate mode. It goes from silent to sound and skips vibrate. All options within Settings > Sound relating to vibrate have disappeared. I tried rebooting multiple times with no success. Also tried searching google/xda but nothing similar popped up.
Any ideas on how to fix this issue would be highly appreciated!

Just make sure you have the kernel where it sits right with out lag so you can use the rom right also for the vib reboot the phone once ,twice its a known issue but should work :thumbup:

By kernel are you referring to the performance control? If yes, than I have already set the governor to "Samsung" and it does not lag at all.
I have restarted multiple times (it does freeze during boot quite often, requiring more restarts), but I can never get the vibration function back.

Try another ROM and see it it happens there

Ended up installing a new kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230064
Vibrate option is back. However the phone still gets stuck on the boot screen. Have to do multiple battery pulls before it loads up properly.
