[Q] freezing problem

Hi everyone!
first, happy new year!
I have a problem with my desire...it freezes in a way that the pulling the battery out is the only thing that helps...it doesn't respond to any button, the screen os off and I can't wake it up
it's rooted with unrevoked, clockwork recovery
tried different roms, the best for me is baadnwz dhd port...
been on that for a while and didn't have the freezing problem, then I flashed the miui..
went back to baadnwz and it started to freeze...a few times a day
then I reflashed it, uninstalled the font changer and that helped...for two days(thought that was the problem) but tonight(~36h from the clean install of the rom) it froze again...
so, I don't think it's the rom, obviously it is not the font changer...
why is this happening, has anyone encounter this before, is there a solution?
please advise, what should I do?
thank you

For what it's worth...
If you can get it back to stock ROM, then do so. Then take it back to the place you bought it and demand a brand new replacement. I would even go so far as to note/print a few pages of some the forums as evidence of the widespread problem.
If my (and many other people's experiences) on here are anything to go by, then your problem will only get worse...and let's face it, whoever has heard of a electronic non-software related problem getting better on it's own? Having read just about every available post on the subject I've concluded that no amount of flashing/reflashing/fiddling is going to fix it.
Sorry to be negative about it, but them is just the facts as I see them.

hmm...so it's like that huh?
what do you mean "if" I can go to the stock rom?
can't I flash the original rom, or ruu or something?(I don't know, never tried something like that)
but then again, I'm not sure that it isn't a software problem...I'm just lurking around to see if anyone has encountered this before and solved it....
if all else fails, I'll flash a clean rom without restorin my apps and see how it goes from there...

just my experience

In all honesty, you may be able to reflash back to stock ROM. It may well depend on what firmware you have on your phone and whether your phone is branded (mine is T-Mobile UK). I know when I originally got mine and rooted it, it was hboot 0.83. It went wrong (external speaker stopped working). I was able to flash it back to stock ROM and I sent it back to HTC. When I finally got it back after 8 weeks (long story involving HTC incompetence and bad luck/incompetence with UPS), it was on hboot 0.93.0001. I rooted it with Unrevoked and installed LeeDroid 2.2f ROM. Shortly afterwards, it started to freeze/reboot. However, everything I've read so far leads me to believe LeeDroid wasn't the cause of the freeze/reboot fault. The problem is far too widespread (just Google 'HTC Desire reboot freeze problem') for it to be caused by a particular custom ROM.
Anyway, the upshot for me is that no matter what I've tried, I haven't been able to get it back to stock ROM and therefore, can't send it back for repair/replacement.
I sincerely hope you have better luck than me.

well, I'll see how it goes..
thank you for your answers

is there a way that I can make a log or something to see whether an application is doing this or something else?

well, I think I solved my problem, and for further reference here's a post that I did in another thread where this was disccused..
trikpa said:
just to let you guys know, I don't have any more freezes
some say it's because of the sense rom, some it's the dhd rom, others told me it's the radio or the ril files....
tried all of that plus few more things and nothing...
well, it turned out to be my backup(or an app in it..)
I always backed my apps and data with my backup pro, very nice app that restores everything....but the last rom flash I did, I didn't restored my apps&data and started fresh installs...and no freezing
I don't know what exactly caused problems, but one more thing that may be responsible...I flashed "font changer" and changed system fonts on my phone...and then backed my apps...maybe that's he deal...dunno...
anyways, I'm back with a killer phone with the best rom out there - baadnewz's

Do you still have any issues with the phone freezing sometimes when charging from A/C?
Mine doesn't freeze as much as it used to since updating the RIL files but being left charging seems to upset it

OK, that sounds good. I only usually recover a few items using Titanium backup but next time that I flash a ROM update. I'll start it all from scratch and hope to get the same result as you.

I don't know, maybe it was a specific app but I don't have the time nor the will to test each one of them

I've got the same problem. Now that I read your post it makes sense.
Restored my apps trough titanium backup and 5 hours later my phones freezes.
Can u make list off apps that you have ?

any news?
my phone started to freeze again
and I didn't restore backup, did a full fresh install...
don't know what to do

Yes, I've solved my problem by buying a new SD card.
This time from Kinsgstond instead of Sandisk.
Hope it solves your problem too.

My phone freeze after charfing while its off. I noticed that it freezes when it says "preparing SD card". This happened twice so far

well, I did buy a new 8GB card, but it never occured to me that it could be the problem....I think it didn't freeze right after I switched cards...
for now I flashed a newer version of the rom I'm using and will see how it goes...if not, I'll switch cards again
thanks for your answer

well, sd card could be the problem in your case too, try another one...and post here with results

I'm curious

Well so far I have reflash the phone after a factory reset + wipe with no app restored via backup. It is performing ok so far. Last freeze was 2 days ago. I will wear down the battery to get a chance to charge it up this afternoon. I will see if it freezes again.

[Q] wfs going really sluggish

had my wildfire s about 4 months been rooted with stock rom for around a month.
past few days while texting it seems to be running really slow, like 3 words behind my typing.
tried slowing my text speeding but still seems to crash then wake up and type on its own.
cleared space from 22.5mb to 61mb of rom but still slow.
move apps to sd card, and ran a memory clearer in settings
no background, no fancy apps running, just Lookout security.
any help or info will be thanked?

Did you try a factory reset?
Sometimes when you flash a new ROM (usually when battery is low) it can be sluggish, a factory reset usually sorts it out....
Failing that, sounds like the dreaded lockscreen bug that plagued 2.3.3
there is a solution here somewhere, if I can find it I will link it.....
Found it, if the factory reset does not work, try this, worked for me :

[Q] Note II dying, Please help!

Hey guys.
This has only started to happen since I installed a rom that seemed to come with twrp and has removed my cwm..
My phone now seems to be very laggy when scrolling, even the notification noise lags and when it goes to into standby nothing happens it just goes off and the only way I can use the phone again is by taking the battery out.
I've tried flashing a new rom but thats not making a difference and i'm at a loss at what to do now....
Thanks for reading and any advice is appreciated.
*Forgot to mention, when being attached to pc via usb its not being recognised as being there, doesn't show as attached, just does nothing*

Could you please specify what Rom and version that you flashed?
Sent from the rabbit hole.

Did you install one of the other custom recoveries manually yet? Btw. IMHO TWRP is the best anyways. Did you do a full wipe before installing new ROM? what kernel/version are you on?

I went from using the Android revolution HD 10.0 version with stock kernel, I changed to AllianceROM N7100 XXDMA6 JB V1.0 but didn't find it smooth enough so I swapped back to Revolution, thats when I found twrp had installed.
I've tried flashing the stock recovery and i'm still getting the same issue.
I've since reflashed cwm but this hasn't solved the problem unfortunatley.....No idea what to do

You should at least wipe cache/dalvik, or even after doing a backup with TB, a fullwipe.

All done, several times, no difference

Have you considered it could be sudden death syndrome?
You should have nothing to worry about in terms of it dying, since you have a very recent base rom (dma6), which include safeguards against it.
When it freezes, have you tried waiting to see if the phone responds after you press the Home Button?
I ask this because I've read reports of people waiting for over 20 minutes for the phone to become responsive again after pressing the home button when in standby.
Another thing: have you ever flashed a full stock rom after DLL7 (including DMA6)? I ask this because DLL7 and later include a new bootloader that *supposedly* helps address the sudden death issue. It doesn't hurt to try anyway.

If ur pc recognises ur phone in download mode seaech the forum for rescue firmware (it comes with pit file) and flash it with odin..u should be sorted then.

Ace 2 randomly reboots

After root and vold.fstab trick I saw 2 times, that my Ace 2 randomly reboots. Maybe phone reboots many times in one day, I don't know because I use another phone for daily uses. What to do? Factory reset, etc.?
EDIT: I remember, that I tried to flash modified_vold_Ace_2.zip with standard recovery, but without any luck. Later I tried to flash same file with CWM and everything went fine. Maybe my system is corrupted? Any help or advice is very appreciative.

:good:

I have 11 android devices and I did not have so much work to root device properly (?). Galaxy Ace 2 still randomly reboots. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? I have latest official stock GB, I'm using this guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118119
And why ODIN don't wipe my phone? Just did factory reset after ODIN procedure?

EDIT: I remember I got my Ace 2 at 03-21. Over three days, until yesterday, I have not noticed random reboots, but until yesterday I not tried to root my phone or install CWM or any other stuff. I think root is ok, so my phone maybe reboots because of "vold.fstab" trick or Antsm's kernel I used. Right now my phone is on stock GB and I will use it for few days. We will see.

My Ace 2 reboots when it gets its ram full. even if I clear my ram, it only leaves less than a 100 free to use. I don't know what happens to the other ram so that's why I always experience lag and so to fix it, I restart my phone. It's a bit annoying.

What ROM are you using? Stock? What kernel? You did "vold.fstab" trick? If my phone will reboot two more times in one week (I'm tracking it), I will bring him to service for sure. I did full wipe and installed stock firmware from SamMobile.

Help!! Phone constantly freezing!!

Hello,
Got an S9 wich has been smoothly running SoLdierR ROM for a couple of weeks. Until two days ago, when my phone decided otherwise. If I restart the phone, the freezing stops for a bit and isn´t noticeable until I start opening apps and that´s when it starts getting really annoying. After that the freezing starts occuring in intervals every 10sec for 3-4 sec. This is making me miss messages/voice calls if these occur during freezing intervals. If I remembers correctly, this started right after I cleared phone memory a couple of days ago. Is there any way to resolve this without me having to backup data and restoring phone?
What I've tried doing so far:
Restarts, shutting down phone for longer periods of time, booting in safe mode (still freezing), booting in recovery mode and deleteing cache/dalvik, deleting apps recently installed, inactivating google apps (google, google play, google services) and deleting cache then unstalling update and then reactivating them, removed root.

I believe I did, used TWRP and wiped everything before installing my custom ROM. I'am starting to think about doing a clean install all over again however, that won't mean that this issue won't come back later?

considering there arent that many variables that go into ROM installation, its likely just some one-off situation. If it wasnt, there would be a ton of folks reporting the same issue. Sometimes dropping fat man or little boy and starting over is all thats left. Been there so many times with the S3 and S5, i cant even begin to tell you.

Yepp! I doing a clean install atm. Got another question wich is a bit off-topic. I'am using soliders latest ROM, I noticed he did release a new firmware update. Is it enough flashing the ROM or do I have to flash firmware by itself later? Or do I simply do nothing after flashing the ROM? Sorry if I'am asking obvious question but this a all still new to me.

no worries mate, we all try to take a look at members post count before casting judgement on them for the question they asked. For that matter, we try to avoid casting judgement period, and im saying that as a member, not a moderator.
im not directly familiar with the soldier run of ROMs, but if the firmware version has changed, it is wise to install the full firmware.
Also, i wouldnt consider what you asked to be off topic at all.

to be perfectly honest, if youve done all the things in the OP and its still doing that, its time to drop fat man or little boy and start from stock tar.md5. Boot to DL mode and flash the stock firmware. Obviously something is awry and the usual tricks didnt help so far. Mushroom cloud time
