Anyones phone freezing after sleep mode?

I noticed this after I set up direct push email. Wondering if anyone else is having the same issue.
BTW I'm using the Premier Plus Rom and Mail 2 Web free push service

mine is, dont know why but just started recently after re flashing to artemies love rom 4.1.
Sometimes it shuts down when it wants to, freezes when it wants to and received sms notification dont work even after you have set it in the phone settings.
I reckon didnt flash properly so i am going to do it again. I hate flashing.

Thanx for replying but I think I've narrowed it down to a storage card issue. i noticed that it woud freeze for abouta full minute when I had a particular program open that I run from the storage card. I moved it to the Device memory and today it still froze, but I could at least turn the device on and off.
Now that I think about it, I noticed this freezing after i reflashed to the Premium Plus ROM with SDHC support. I upgraded from a 2GB Card to a 4GB Card. So it could be the SDHC drivers or just the card itself. I'm going to switch back to the 2GB card for a few days to see if it happens again.
That's as far as I'll gotten. These observations were made after a hard reset.
And I know what you mean about reflashing. You hare to reinstall everything. But it's good to do at least once a year.

I have very similar issues on mine.
I had the Oops v1.0 on it, then thought it had been a while since I last flashed, and perhaps that was the reason it froze often no logical reason to think this ! I KNOW).
So I flashed it with another ROM, and it does exactly the same. I have searched on this forum and seen some HTC do this as well.
UPDATE:
I have now narrowed it down to this:
I discovered that if I restart my Atremis and use it as normal or leave it on a stable table or side bed, it works OK, but if I slip it into my pocket for a minute it freezes....or if I place it in the same space/place/pocket/bag with my BB Pearl it just freezes....AMAZING !
I will be very stunned...yes stunned if their any solution to this...
Feel free to stun me !

I dont have any input on the issues you guys are having but I think i solved my own problem. I moved two programs from the storage card to the main memory and it hasnt come back. Actually, I think it was just the 2nd program.
I'm using an older ROM though: O2 Premium Plus by Meschle (now retired). I've stuck with this ROM because it's been the most stable for me.

Possible solution
Hello,
first of all when you experience any kind of freezing, run a full scandisk in Pocket Mechanic, then Check Notification queue in the same app.
Also check Start - settings - system - Key lock , make sure that you select "Lock all buttons except power" (first option). Restart your Artemis and try if the problem happens again.

Well it's been a week and I haven't had the freeze come back after I moved a couple programs from my storage card to my device. Both were programs with an application (small) and a huge database on the storage card (Oxford Spanish Dictionary & iSilo data base). I noticed that I always got the freeze when one or both of these applications was running.
So, of course, the data base info is still on the storage card but the applications are saved under Windows/Programs. No more freezes. And when I mentioned freeze, I ment that the phone would be extremely slow to respond to inputs. I would wait about 30 to 60 seconds for it to respond. If I pushed the power button 3 or 4 times, like a minute later I would get the screen flashing on and off so it's registering the commands. I wasn't sure if this was the same type of freezing that others were experiencing.
I'm thinking it has something to do with the card or the drivers for the SDHC. I never had this problem without the SDHC support and my 2GB card. Just FYI

As funny as it may sound.
I did the above and noticed a few days after, that the freezing is now reduced....still happens from time to time, though not as frequently as it used to...
What is the logic?
I assumed it was due to my frequent ROMing of my Atremis....guess patience has now paid off, but seriously and technically, I would want to be able to explain what is happening !

I had the Standby of Death SOD this is when the phone fails to come out of standby with a power button press. This issue only affects some people on some networks. I'm not sure if its a network problem or a software problem but as only a minority of people have it, I suspect its mainly a network problem there is a software solution.
The solution is to change the phone settings band option from auto 3G/2G to either 3G Only (WCDMA + UTMS 2100 in Europe) or 2G Only (GSM + AUTO) depending on your requirements.
Also read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540943&highlight=standby&page=2where the resolution was to get a new SIM.
Obviously this only solves the problem when the crash is because of the sim and/or settings which impact the sim. To rule out a software cause its best to start with a hard reset.

[Q] Sense Refreshing on SD Mount

This just started happening today. I plug in the phone to my XP computer and when the SD card mounts the HTC Sense home page refreshes. Anyone else experiencing this or know of a way to stop it?
And, yes I know about Launcher Pro and ADW (I actually love Launcher Pro Plus but I am waiting till all Fede's widgest are done before switching), so I was just looking for how to fix Sense not switch to a new home.

My phone does the same but I think it's because some of my apps are on the microSD card.

So 2.2 made apps on SD possible and then HTC screwed it up by making your entire home screen refresh due to this?
Great job HTC!

What's the big deal exactly? You have to unmount from a computer to have it do this, and 9 times out of 10 you don't need to use the homescreen in the following 10 seconds. It's handy, since it makes sure you don't get stuck with random shortcuts not having the proper icons. I'm sure HTC will make it better in the future, but I don't see how its really a problem. It doesn't mess anything up, nor does it hinder anything. You got AppstoSD, just be happy.

Never cared about Apps2SD. I don't have enough apps to require it be moved, and the size of the internal memory is plenty. This happens when I mount the disk and unmount the disk, and it is a big deal having to wait for every screen to reload. Bookmarks, Twitter, Agenda, clock, weather, widgets, everything has to reload, and it doesn't reload until I go to the page. This means that even if I put it down after disconnecting, I am still forced to wait while I look at my agenda or bookmarks. VERY annoying.
And after checking, I only have one app on the SD card, so it can't be that.

[Q] replacement battery problems (not related to quick draining)

hey,
so my girlfriend has a droid incredible, not rooted, and many times when she switches to her bak up battery AND BACK, her apps delete. many times she has to re-download her apps and they're not even listed under her apps in the market. she turns off the phone before ripping the battery out and changing it, but she still has the issue. the battery is supposedly OEM, and purchased off eBay. its black considering its an evo battery and it reads HTC innovation on the battery. in any case, as i mentioned before, it happens when she switches back to her regular battery as well. in addition the widgets read "problem loading gadget". (obviously because the app has deleted)
anyone have any solutions to solving this or why this might e happening. to my understanding these batteries should yield no problems. also, this is not the first time this has happened it has happened alot. perhaps if there is no direct solution, maybe i can find an app to make sure none of my apps get deleted during the transfer process? let me know,
thanks
if anyone can help i also have minor issue on my dinc with the generic batteries i ordered from ebay that when i plug it in, the battery has an exclamation point. anyway to get rid of this? its not too annoying because i use mini info widget anyway, but id rather have it solved.
thanks again

If they're on the SD card it'll often take a few minutes for it to load up.
The problem looks like it's from the SD card, maybe it's having some issues or maybe she's accidentally knocking it out of place when she switches batteries.

the problem seems to be deeper than that. shes definitely not knocking out the sd card cuz its always stable. besides this is a problem for every app thats not stock. she doesnt have ALL apps2sd anyway.
if it helps.. some apps stay some apps go, but for the ones that stay, they force close. ie. hopstop wasnt deleted but FC. in addition she would re download twitter and that would FC. to confuse you even more shazam was not deleted or reinstalled but still works (all data was deleted tho)

Sounds weird. I know this is a long shot that you will actually try it, but it sounds like it'd be a good idea to reinstall that phone.
It's been known that there are a couple of mallicous apps (now removed from the market) but it's *possible* she may have downloaded one of them and that is causing a lot of the issues. It may just be some weird data corruption in important system files, it's hard to tell with just what you're telling me but as long as she doesn't mind it- reinstalling with a fresh ROM and kernel would be a good start and likely will fix the problem.
Apps can still be backed up via titanium backup, and there's apps for backing up messages and you can sync contacts to either verizon or your google account.
Just a thought.

EVERY app, stock or not, continiously resets(closes and reopens).

Ive sort of tried to search this one (How do I search JUST the Epic 4g section of XDA??) and found no one describing this problem the way I do...
This is my second time having this issue, and the fix for it last time was a pain in the ass, so id like a new fix-
Every app, every aspect of my phone, continuously resets/reloads. This is most noticeable with Hancent SMS, as it saves a message as a draft when you close out of the app... Well, right now, ill be typing and "message saved as draft" will constantly pop up at the bottom of the screen (about once every 2 seconds), and the phone will lag and it will erase 1 or two characters(making me look like I cant type :silly: ).
If this was the only problem, maybe I could live with it, but it affects everything. Launcher Pro randomly/continuously resets. The notification bar often resets while trying to pull it down. The phone app will close or freeze as soon as I start receiving a call. Sometimes it'll play my ringtone without a way for me to answer, other times I never knew I missed a call unless they leave a voice mail... And sometimes its worse than others, sometimes its fine for an hour, then something goes stupid and even a reboot doesn't help. For instance, right now, it was happy. I launched aLogcat to check it out and now the screen orientation REFUSES to stay one way. Even setting the phone down, it switches directions every few seconds, which makes aLogcat reload and therefor its unusable.
I haven't mentioned what im running because Ive had this exact same issue on a totally different rom, almost a year ago, but im running-
build - SleeperROM_3.0.0_FC09
kernal - 2.6.35.7-Shadow-FC09_v1.0
baseband - S700.0.5s.FC09
firmware - 2.3.6
Ive had this happen on EB13 on the EpicExperience ROM too.
SOO, if anyone has advice on how to fix this, id be extremely interested.
On the other hand, last time I had this issue I was convinced it was a corrupt piece of memory somewhere early in the OS, something I corrupt during install, and I went ahead and reflashed and wiped and reflashed and wiped and returned to stock and etc. etc. etc... and that seemed to work... actually, I dont know exactly what part of the process fixed it, thats why I do not want to repeat it unless I have to... BUT, if someone would like to explain/point me in the right direction. I'd like to know how to DELETE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE and FLASH as CLEAN as possible. (that is, if no one else knows of a fix for my problem)
thanks all!

Err, well only thing I can think of is a truly clean install using Odin. This means do not restore any data from backups. Then slowly begin installing applications 1-by-1 through the play store website (for speed sake) to see if your issue creeps up again.
It also couldn't hurt to format your SD card too. Corrupt data on the SD card can cause some wonky things at times.

get another device...i hope u have the equipment protection plan

Thanks for the advice guys OFF TO THE ODIN MACHINE! haha.

[Q] Icons disappearing

After the recent update to 4.2.2 OTA (reverted to stock Recovery, but still rooted), and Sense 5.4.23 i have a weird problem. I have set up 5 screens, and on each I have a number of folders, typically containing 4 or more app icons. These remain in place fine, however a number then disappear after a restart - probably c. 50%. Only thing I can think of is that as I had rather less than 1 GB out of 6, I moved some of the larger apps like angry birds to the phone memory, and it seems to be these that disappear, although i havent tested this rigorously. Switched to Nova launcher, and had the same behaviour. Very frustrating as takes a while to get a useful layout. Only a selection of the shortcuts disappear - the apps are still there. Tried a factory reset without wiping the data, which seems to have marginally improved wifi reliability (another problem) but still have the problem.
Anyone got any ideas - not sure where the data is kept for the layout, however restoring a titanium backup of HTC Sense does bring back an old layout, although it loses the half dozen or so widgets i use?

Use search. This is common and frequently asked!
If you move the app to SD, the icons vanish from user-created folders on reboot.

It's a général problems, one issue... waiting a fix for HTC

Thanks to you both, i did search, atlength on google amd xda fwiw without unearthing anything. I guess i was thrown by the fact that my transformer tf300 didnt exhibit this behaviour...

I am also having problems with the icons disappearing from the home screens after restart since the OTA to 4.2.2 this week and mine are not in folders.
I have found that all the icons that disappear from the home screens are apps that I moved to phone storage (internal SD card) in the previous system.
In the 4.2.2 under settings -> apps -> downloaded if I click on an app there is no option to move it like there was in the previous system. So I cannot even move the apps back to make them stay on the home screen after a restart. The only fix is to uninstall them all and then reinstall them as that will move them back to the internal phone memory. But then I will run out of memory.
From reading other forums it looks like HTC may have removed the move option from 4.2.2 Jelly Bean because users were complaining about their widgets not working. Apparently we need to request it is put back in so I just tried calling Vodafone and when I told the tech rep my problem he hung up on me!
Would rooting the phone allow me to get the move working again and keep the icons on the home screens after a restart?

Rooting will allow you to install Titanium Backup which will move any app and allow the uninstallation of bloatware garbage.

I have spoken to HTC and they say the missing move feature is an issue they are investigating. They don't give any idea of what or when something will be done though.
In the meantime I have done a factory reset and put all the apps back on. Now to check if they stay there after a restart.

Yes they do stay there after a restart now they are not moved.
I am having problems with the Wi-fi too since the OTA update to 4.2.2.

I am also having this issue. I created 2 separate games folders, when i restarted my phone, they were all out of the folders. Also some of the app icons on my home screen disappeared. Happens every time i restart. Its really annoying because i am really enjoying the update.
