WM5 Alarm Problem

I know there was a thread for this a while back as I read it when searching for something else. Now I can't find that thread (the search function in forums is never great!) but I suddenly have a huge problem with the built in Alarm function on my Wizard...
I've had a few issues before where when the phone is charging overnight it soft resets by itself and then sticks on the initial O2 screen. In the morning, I disconnect the phone from the charger and the phone then boots, I enter the password and the alarm goes off (usually later than the time I set it for). This is annoying but I can live with it.
However, this morning I had HUGE problems. It did the same as usual, phone was stuck on O2 initial screen so i unplugged the charger and the phone began to boot. I entered my password and the alarm started to go off but I was unable to switch it off at all. It does not come up with 'Notification' in bottom left of the screen like it normally does when the alarm goes off. It just kept going off even when I unset the alarm. I did a soft reboot but the same thing happened again. Also, the right-hand light at the top was orange even when the charger was not connected so the phone seems to think it is charging when it isn't.
I have managed to get it to stop thinking its charging by enabling wifi for a few minutes whilst charger is connected, then disabling wifi and disconnecting charger. But, every time I soft reset, the alarm starts going off and wont stop and the orange light comes back (while not not connected to charger). Also, none of my calendar items are reminding me 15 mins before the appointment like they normally do.
Is there anything I can do? I really don't want to hard reset if possible and certainly not just to stop the alarm! I am using Molski's latest 30Mb free WWE ROM. There isn't much installed, just PocketMax PhoneAlarm (great app!), TCPMP, handy Switcher, OMAP and OMAP+, Resco file explorer and Salling clicker. But I have had these apps for a while now. There is also SoftKey which appeared after upgrading ROM and I have changed my left button (directly above the call connect button) to Notes, perhaps this is why the Notification does not come up?
It is so embarrassing that a £400 phone cannot do something so basic as waking you up at the right time
I know a lot of people have had this problem with WM5 but has a fix ever been identified? Sorry about the huge post btw but any advice would be hugely appreciated

I'd say try reflashing that ROM or try another ROM...
The $400 phone was designed to work with the ROM from the manufacturer and MO that it was sold under... If the problem still persists under those circumstances than the problem is most likely hardware related and you should be seeking a warranty repair (if that option is avalible to you). Although, you were made aware when you loaded the cooked ROM that it could cause you problems and voids any warranty.

I had the problem (although not as severe as today) when I was using the default ROM that was installed from the phone company...
Also, from the last thread about this it seems a large number of people with different ROMS/devices have had the problem...I'll reflash if I have to but I'll try a hard reset first....

try removing phone alarm and see how it will now behave.

Read my post in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=275189

Thanks meschle, I think it's fixed, I had to soft reset then delete the notifications several times, but now it has stopped sounding the alarm every time I soft reset...
Saved me a hard-reset - much appreciated

on my Tytn it says "Clearing Duplicate Events Processing 67 of 66 events" and basically stays like that.
Any ideas?

Hi it froze - try deleting the duplicate notifications one by one (click on the notification in question) or try trial version of memaid http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=14279

Phone Freezes, how do I debug?

2-3 times a day I have to take out the battery because the phone will not respond. How can I find what is causing this? Is there any event viewer / error log or any way of debugging this?

I've also had this problem when powering up the device from being completely turned off. I have to reset and remove the battery a couple of times before it works properly again. Usually I get stuck on the mindows mobile startup screen (after the xperia one), or on the today page before it loads my plugins. The shell is unresponsive but I can use other panels okay.
It seems to corellate with powering off/on the device while it has a USB connection to either the computer or mains.
(I've got a black X1i on Voda UK, latest ROM available afaik)

I too am having this problem. I am now on my second handset in 2 weeks because of this. My replacement handset is doing the same. I am seriously considering changing to a different phone.

my X1 only started locking up itself without apparent reason when I installed TouchFLO3D.
Upon removal, everything normal.
check your software, also check if it hangs without having things installed appart from stock softwar.e

i had SPB shell installed. I have now uninstalled it so see how it goes

This seems to be the same problem I have with my Voda UK Xperia. Only problem is, 1) It happens without a USB connection and 2) I have flashed to the generic ROM and I still have the same problems. So I guess it's not Voda related.

Possibly. I only got mine on Thursday, it first happened on Friday...only seems to occur with the USB connection for me.
I've not installed much or fiddled with the firmware. Just realised that it seems to have happened after I installed Xperia Tweak - might be that I've got the wrong version. I will uninstall and let you know whether it sorts it.
Either way, I can definitely invoke it by powering it off with an active USB connection.

I had also the same problems, after updating to an R2 ROM the problem was solved!!!

Same issue here. I've used custom ROMs from ITJE, Jack and Timur. No difference, still freezes and I have to soft-reset or do a battery pull. Anyone else having this issue? Thx.

since iv had the phone is freeze is little more than sometimes. i'v had it stock all the way with no tf3d or anything and still does it. it happens no matter what. sometimes the phone just shuts off w/o me noticing and i have to take the battery out. but what gets me is not all the freezing believe it or not what gets me is im gonna break my phone by just taking out the battery cover. i mean what the hell is wrong with that design. i feel like sooner or later im gonna break something eventually or put a crack in the plastic part of the phone.

my phone started to hang when I switch panels more than once per boot. It has to be connected to some software installed lately, because it did+g occur before.

OK, problem appears to be solved: my Xperia hasn't freezed in 36 hours, since I installed custom ROM "Touch-IT v7" by ITJE. Will report back after a few days just to be sure. Cheers.

Still no freezes.

Stuck in boot loop after strange problems (blank screen/settings app FC)

Hi guys,
I have an HTC Sapphire (HTC Magic from Vodafone UK). Problem with it this morning stopping me using it so urgently need some help!! I've included all details I can think of below to help someone diagnose the issue.
Been a very happy CM user for several months now and upgraded to 5.0.8 just a week or two ago. I did a full backup and wipe and haven't had any problems with it until last night.
Just before going to bed I noticed when pushing the menu/red button to turn the screen on, the keypad lights would light up but the screen wouldn't turn on. This happened a couple times in the last week but taking the battery out and restarting resolved it before. So I did that last night and it started up again and I went to sleep.
This morning I went to use the phone and it seemed a little strange, like some of my settings were back to default (security lock pattern went red when wrong, no battery % in title etc.), but the phone worked and I could make a call.
I then tried to configure the settings but as soon as I tried to enter any category I got FC's in the Settings app. So I restarted...(strangely silent/airplace modes weren't options, only reboot/switch off)
This time after the red Vodafone boot logo the phone got stuck in a boot loop - (CM specific: the 4-colour X swirl would be OK but after 3/4 silver X swirls the 4-colour one would start again) and this continues until pulling the battery out.
Left battery out a while but no help.
Went into recovery console and wiped cache - startup took a lot longer but still eventually got stuck in a restart loop.
Will reflashing CM help? Should I bother with a wipe (would rather not cause no backup!)
ANY OTHER IDEAS??? I'm really stuck/frustrated/depressed right now as this is my only phone and I'm not even living in my home country so am really cut off right now.
Thanks to anyone in advance.

[Q] Settings change by themselves

It started as a weird feeling. I thought that I had just forgotten that I had changed a setting or two. But now I am certain that the phone changes some settings by itself.
Knock on keeps turning off by itself . I did also enable led notifications a couple of hours ago only to find them turned off now , after I plugged in my device (I didn't see the red light when I locked the screen). I am completely stock . I haven't received the latest OTA update though. Do I need to see a shrink or something strange is going on with the phone's software ?

I suggest you get an exorcist for your phone immediately, anyways all joking aside did this just begin or has it been happening for a while now, have you installed any weird apps/modules(if rooted), as a last resort you can backup apps(via carbon if not rooted or titanium backup if you are rooted) and music/videos/pictures to your pc and factory resetting to see if the issue persist

Thank you once again for you answers. I have the phone 3-4 days as I wrote to you in the other thread ! It has been happening from day one. I am completely stock , no root , no nothing. I don't want to hard reset but it may be obligatory in this case.

Yes, I have seen the LGG2 reset settings as well

I am so glad to see someone else posting about this. This happens to me so often and is so frustrating.
I see several different changes happening fairly frequently:
1. Date/time settings get changed (auto date time gets disabled, auto time zone gets disabled, use24 hour gets enabled, various combinations of these 3 settings change)
2. Knock on/off gets turned off
Less frequently:
1. Auto rotate turns off
2. Home Screen Background resets and/or theme changes
3. Allow Home screen looping gets disabled
I have Verizon LGG2, rooted,
Android 4.4.2
Baseband version: VS98024A-M8974A-AAAANAZM-2.0.20046
Kernel Version 3.4.0-perf-gdf89a11
Build Number: KOT491,VS98024A
have been unsuccessful updating to the latest OTA - figured it was because of root, after uninstalling root still had the error.
Not sure if that is related.
Both the reset issue and the lack of OTA update are annoying, but not so problematic that I want to reset my phone.
If anyone has seen this issue and/or has suggestions (including reset, I suppose), I'd appreciate it.
Thanks i n advance.

LG G6 Always on Display and System UI crashing and screen flashing

FIrst the issue: Every day once I let my phone laying around for a couple hours, it will behave oddly and the "Always On Display" app will keep crashing and the phone will flash the screen trying to start again the app and it keeps in this loop forever until I restart it. If I try to open the phone main screen it will sometimes say "Always On Display" stopped working or "System UI" stopped working or a combination of both.
After rebooting, it works fine again for maybe another 20 to 24 hours.
Details:
This started happening one day after I changed the system language. My phone has always been in US English but I had a problem with a local app in Portuguese so I added the language and made it primary. After that I simply changed English again as primary and left Portuguese as secondary.
I don't know if this is related, but is very suspicious since when you change the language, lots of things in the UI behave differently for a while. After seeing the issue, I did remove Portuguese from the language list but I'm guessing the damage to some setting might already be done because the issue persists.

Hey I did face the same problem... I changed the theme and it stopped happening... Usual with high contrast themes they crash

Just give it a clean wipe and restore, see how that goes

Juste delete systemUI app and always on display app data or factory rest. Make sur u are on last update

Hi!
I'm having the same problem. I just came around at the 15th January. The first days it happend once a day. Now every 3-4 days.
I tried wiping the cache, but it didn't help. We are also discussing this topic at a german android forum. Someone reported there, that even a factory reset didn't help. The error occurs some days later again.
I suspect it's due to an app update, which is causing the problem.
Yesterday I tried to delete the systemUI ans AoD App data, like @KarimAssiakh suggested. Now I have to wait, if it will happen again.
Has anyone else found a working solution?

It's me again.
Deleting the System-UI and AlwayOnDisplay data didn't help. I'm still getting the error every 3-4 days.
I'm trying to avoid a factory reset. I also read in an other forum, that a factory reset won't help. The issue came back after some days. Maybe it's caused by an app update.
Has anyone found a solution to solve this problem?

Wow, nice to hear. Thanks!
I have some questions to understand what you did exactly. Maybe I will try it in the next days.
After the down- and upgrade the error didn't occur any more? How many days ago did you do the reset and how long was your device running after that? Because the error only occurs after 3-4 days at my phone. Maybe your just in this range?
Did you install all your apps again and made the same settings like before or do you use a different setup now? Did you use a full backup with the LG tools for your apps, settings etc?
Is your AlwaysOnDisplay activated? It seems that the AlwaysOnDisplay is causing the problem.
It would be great to hear from you again.
Thanks!!!

Bro not one's I've got the error... After I did the process... As far as I remember when the error used to occur I had to restart the device altogether.. Yeah download you're region kdz and lguppercut

Seems I am late to the party because this happened to me also. Have you guys tried the solution below? Posted by someone who goes by the handle XGXGXGX over at Android Central

Same thing happened to me, the file size of the photo is too big. Did a hard reset and cleared phone cache and it didn't work.
The fix: Go to:
Settings
> Applications
>Press Menu Button (3 dots in the top right corner)
>Choose "Show System Apps"
>Always On Display
>Force Stop
> Clear Data
>Clear Cache
This worked for me. Got info from another forum with instruction to only clear Cache, but that didn't work, so I did all of the above instead and it worked. I have the T-Mobile version.
Obviously the G6 has Always-on display Provider and Always-on display apps you will have to drill into , stop, and clear cache.
I've tried it and I will report my findings...
