I have some issues with my Defy, it worked great for about 5 weeks with Quarx's CM7 the i started to get random lags, all apps crashing and freezes. I wiped the cache and dalvik cache, still not working.
After that i installed MIUI, worked pretty good for 2 days then got the same problem. Wiping the cache didn't worked here either so i decided to re-install CM7 (7.1.0-jordan) but still got the same problem.
I tried lowering the CPU settings to the default but it had no effect.
What else can i do?
I'm kinda new to this so please, have mercy.
Thanks in advance!
Could it be the RAM (not enough available)? Use an app like this or similar and see if there's any difference.
Also, if you like CM7, go for CM7.2 - it already has a RC version, and it's stable and fast (bug fixes included, tweaks, interface optimizations, etc). Regarding the CPU: it's not necessary to underclock to the stock 800mhz value, just be careful about the voltages (don't go too low suddenly, or you'll get freezes or random soft restarts - try to undervolt progressively).
Plus, it's a good habit to wipe Cache and Dalvik cache before and after flashing a ROM/nightly.
it's not the ram, i used netqin from the beginning which has a widget that shows available memory and a task manager and the lowest memory i ever had was 100MB. currently on cm7.1 i have 213mb available.
is there a way to completely revert all changes, like a factory reset?
Actually, task managers on Android don't fix any problems, they even cause problems - I would get rid of that if I were you.
Like a factory reset? Wiping data from custom recovery (but you'll lose all data, settings, apps, etc on the phone), but you keep your current ROM.
Give CM7.2 a shot, it might be better.
Edit: Did you have these problems before installing that task manager?
i really don't care about the current ROM, i would go for the stock android just to have a working defy. do i need to flash a sbf before installing 7.2?
could it be a hardware problem?
Don't flash a SBF!
If you are already on CM7 just flash a CM7.2 version like a nightly (wipe Cache and Dalvik cache, before and after flashing). When I used CM7.2, I was happy with a version by maniac103, from 27 February. Stable, fast, good battery life.
If you really don't care about all of your settings and apps and data and so on, you could try to wipe Data in custom recovery before installing CM7.2, it might solve that issue (but I'm not sure, and it's not really worth it to try it now, only as a last solution). But if you do that, remember to flash gapps too, after the ROM.
But first try CM7.2 and use your phone for a while without that task manager.
No, I don't think that it's a hardware problem, especially if it worked fine after you flashed MIUI.
just installed cm7.2, will update if problem still occurs.
Thanks!
You're welcome.
Great, I hope you'll get rid of those issues. Did you also remove that task manager?
Yes, kept just the basic stuff for now. i have a problem with the proximity sensor, after a call the screen stays off and i have to remove the battery. I tried loosing the back screw and several ways of disabling the sensor but none worked.
Any ideas?

Hey guys,
I've beenr unning DeFrost for a while but recently encountered some lockups during heavy usage (Navigation etc). The lockups then occur more often for a while unless I refrain from using the phone.
I've tried several ROMs and radios and I get the same issue. Sometimes it locks up in standby, and sometimes in use. Occasionally I'll get a reboot too.
I've just cleared all the caches etc and am installing the rooted 2.2 stock rom frome here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773997
Does anyone have any other ideas which may help me sort this out?
Thanks!
Ok, still getting reboots with the rooted 2.2 stock rom...
I might try underclocking the cpu with setcpu... I've took the sdcard out too.
Don't use setcpu. Looks like your device can't handle oc.
I haven't been using setcpu, I was just about to install it to help me underclock.
Its just reset twice on the rooted stock rom, with no sd card in. Could it be a battery temperature thing? I was browsing the web when it rebooted...
did u wipe everything before flashing the new rom...? or just clear the cache..?
Full wipe of everything that I could wipe in clockwork.
Edit: Except the options to individually format boot etc.
Moved to Q&A. Please don't post question threads in Development.
A lot of people have been having this problem have a look at this thread, seems like there isn't a proper fix for it yet.

I have an Evo (003 Hardware) and while switching ROMs, at least twice now, I've had trouble restoring some apps using Titanium Backup. The weird thing is, I'ts only some apps, that are having the restore problem, while others seem to be restored, but without their settings saved. (Google Listen is an example of the former, while AdwEX is of the later.
I've verified the backups themselves, and they come back without errors, I've also tried flashing different ROMs like Myn's new Warm Z, MIUI, and Koni's Elite II. Those have no trouble restoring. Seems the problem is confined to the nightlies, as I'd installed RC1 before without issues.
Anybody have an idea what's wrong?
When re-flashing the roms, try a clean install, and also flashing the latest gapps. Not flashing them has been seen lately to cause a few apps not restoring, or some just missing completely. Best to do it in 2 recovery sessions, backup, flash rom, reboot, flash gapps, reboot.

I always do a fresh install. Wipe data, cache and Dalvik, plus flash Calkulin's Format All.
I haven't tried flashing ROM and gapps in different sessions, as that brought trouble pre-rc1, I'll try that now, though.
Well I practice the 2 recovery session as a standard, sometimes it works in 1 session, but when it doesn't the 2 session step bring me no problems; but let me know what happens.
turns out, that wasn't the problem. Two-session flashing didn't bring any issues, which I was glad to see (although it did switch the wallpaper, that's just weird). What did help was this post from the rc1 thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11722822&postcount=1603, where this exact problem is described, but I happened to miss it while searching somehow. anyways, it finally restored the apps, but not their data. I guess that's better than nothing, but again, just plain annoying.
Ah I see. Well now backup the apps and data and you should be set now.
Hey all, I have only been flashing custom ROMs onto my G2 for about a month now, so this might be a dumb oversight. Ever since RC4, I have had an issue where every single time I reboot or power off the phone and power it back on, I get the HTC screen for a few seconds and then the CyanogenMod 7 splash screen with the arrow going round and round. And that's it. Even overnight. Now the ROM runs BEAUTIFULLY all the time. No GPS, Google Sych, or Battery Life Issues. Love it, so any help that would allow me to stick with this ROM would be great.
I am running CM 7.0.0
.26 Radio
the base CM7 kernel (2.6.32.28)
Overclocked to 1017Mhz
What should I do to get this issue to stop?

Have you tried a full wipe and then reflash? What rom did you come from? A few details about those things might make it easier for people to help u
dont send me pm's crying about how i hurt your feelings in a thread
I came from the stock post-ota ROM. I did a full wipe when I installed RC4, but I haven't since, just wipe data then re-flash. Should I wipe everything - data, cache, dalvik, etc and then re-flash? Of course Nandroid before...
just cache and dalvik was enough... no data wipe needed (at least.. I haven't needed that before)
But I still need to re-flash the ROM after I clear cache and Dalvik though, right?
Well, apparently, that worked out. Everything is humming along just fine. Thanks a lot for the help everyone.
I'm on CM 7.0.2 and using the Tiamat 3.3.5 (no SBC) kernel. No other special overclocking or undervolting rules set up.
Sometimes, things will just go awry since I've flashed CM7. It never occurred on Sense.
Things like:
Keyboard disappearing
SMS/MMS application force closing
Text messages refusing to send
Etc.
All requiring a reboot in order to get working again.
What might be the issue?
flash 7.0.2.1 over it first (wiping cache/dalvik), the 7.0.2 build was buggy and pulled hours after it released. If that doesn't work, try fixing permissions in ROM manager. If that doesn't work, a fresh install is always best. COMPLETELY wipe everything (use VR ultrawipe for ease) then start fresh. I did it recently with 7.0.2.1 and it's running flawlessly.
Hey guys...
I flash the new Kingdom Stock Rom and since is not stable for a daily I had to go back to a z rom.. I try Uber z, Warm Z.. and both are giving me a little bug that I havent had with any other rom...
I get a...
Attention..
"A network error has occurred retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen."
I also get an X instead of the 3g icon when i get this message... apps that are affected are..
Tapatalk
Dropbox
Market
Facebook
I didnt had this problem before, it all started after I flash to the 3. sense... I also had noticed that the phone will freeze sometimes and I have to do a Battery Pull....
Any comments or suggestion would be appreciated...
The "X" means you have no network connection and those apps mentioned require a data connection so that's why they are effected. I would highly recommend wiping the phone (I always wipe 3x's although ppl say it isnt needed) and reinstalling a rom. Since you are starting from scratch I would recomend either the GB leak for our phone because it works with no bugs or the gingersense remix rom by wdfowty. I am running remix and it is amazing. Super smooth and as snappy as stock but with sense 2.1/3.0 elements.
Also when you wipe make sure you wipe data, cache, delvik cache, and battery stats.

I am wondering why this happens as time goes by while using a particular ROM,
I am actually having 3g/date connection problems atm I had good 3g but now nothing..I am only running on wifi now.
I am using SR3.5 and Magnolia with default Kernels pretty much default ROMS.
