I don't know what happened this problem just started 2 days ago. I've tried reinstalling rom. Installing a new one, and every time. Data wipe factory reset.
The problem is after about 15-20 seconds of phone being woke up it works perfect no problems. Then for so reason when I try to touch the screen I have to push a little harder than normal and tap a couple times. Only on the sides of the screen never in the middle, but that is not even the real problem. When the phone starts acting up, and I try to touch the any where on the screen every time I touch the screen my status bar comes down. Likes its over lapping. Especially when I'm trying to text. I go to press the "P" and right when I touch it the status bar drops. I don't know how to fix this. Like I said I reinstalled and downloaded a new rom. Is there a better and more efficient way to reset my phone? Please any help much appreciated.
Interesting, I have seen this as well, but only on OverClocked roms. If yours is over clocked, get one of the OC apps and set it to 528 or what ever ours are set to by default and see if it helps.
Usually goes away on its own for me. Haven't had it at all with DD or FroYo
Yes. please forgive spelling, but it started with the Pure Hero rom. I do believe it was OC'ed. Then I switched to the one I have been using for about 3 months. Alloyius*spelling*. That is oc'ed also and it didn't do the status bar thing for about 2 hours. I was excited I had my phone back. Then BOOOOM. Fuggin up again. Downloading set cpu now. Sure 528 is what it should be set or should I try some other #'s? Thanks for the help.
Damn the only set cpu app I know of is "Set Cpu" lol, and it will not accept my debit card for the 1.99$. Is there another generic cheap one I can use for about 10 secs to see if problem is fixed?

i think there is a free try one...
SETCpu is available somewhere here on XDA for free i think, unless the dev took it down.
Ok gaining some ground. Found the set cpu here on forums. going to try it thanks!
ok got the set cpu and did the preset for cdma hero. still doing it. is there anything else I can try to tweak? Any ideas appreciated
Mayb recalibrate ur screen Idk if it'll work but its worth a shot

i had SetCPU installed on my phone, and when the phone would shut the screen off, by timing out or being locked, it wouldnt wake up from sleep.. i know at least one other person this has happened to, but removing SetCPU got rid of that problem.. does anyone know whats up?
You're lucky. SetCPU didnt even work on my SGS. It just FC'd everytime I loaded it. I didnt have root, which probably accounts for this issue, however it should still load up - just with locked speed setting bars.
I had the exact same problem you have mentioned below. I also get this issue with the autokiller app.

I'm pretty sure that SetCPU won't work with the SGS as things stand, root or not, for changing the clock rate (unless that built-in thingamagig for unlocking HTC phones' clock rates works).
Did you make sure no default profiles were set up when you installed SetCPU that were set to underclock the CPU or do anything else weird when the phone goes to sleep/is idle? That would be a good place to start.
If anyone could get me a log (force close/crash) or a /proc/last_kmsg (reset) that would be great.

I'm sure someone's probably told me before, but how would we do this?
I installed SetCPU, I have root, but it just FC all the time
When rooted setup works fine as long as you just use it for monitoring and don't change the profile

Okay, that's odd. It's worked this time, although I did nothing different.
coolbho3000, tell me what I need to do to send a logcat and I'll use profile to see if it crashes. For me, profiles are rather important, when the screen is off I want to limit it to like 200mhz or something.
i figured out why SetCPU makes my phone never wake up, the settings i was using was ondemand 100 min 1000 max. SetCPU is set to 100 in standby and this is just too slow and puts the phone completely to sleep.
ive since moved up the phone to 400 min and ive gone a day without any sleeping.
and SetCPU works fine on my phone, and a few friends who have the phone aswell, this was our only problem, and i dont believe it was a problem, its just the way the app is designed, to give full control, leaving the only room for error on our hands..
but still an fyi would be nice lol.. i read the entire huge description of SetCPU, like a half hour read
Try setting the scaling to 'ondemand' or 'performance' if it was set to 'conservative' as default (mine was).

Logs can be done by getting the Log Collector app from the Android Market. Or, you can plug it into a computer with ADB and run:
adb logcat
I'm interested in the FC crash and why it works for some and not others.
Thanks
In fact, everything seems to work for me too....
I'm especially interested overclocking this thing, as it's the 45nm ARM CPU released in an Android phone en masse. I might get myself a Vibrant if it gets rooted.
The whole problem is that the default is conservative... changing it will cause phone to freeze.

Then change the Freq Step in Advanced to 100%, should have the same effect as ondemand.

This will fix it not waking? Is this better than making the minumum to be 400mhz?
When it was not waking, I changed all the minimums to 200mhz, but it was still dropping to 100mhz? Why would it do this?
With my phone rooted didn't work on first install, whenever I launched it, it kept crashing so I uninstalled and installed back and it works perfect
I went through the whole resetting to factory defaults several times until I determined not coming back from sleeping was setcpu.
I do not think it is a crash problem.
I had the scaling set to ondemand.
Do we know what the minimum CPU speed is for the samsung? I had it on 200 and still had a problem. If I have min at 400 is there a point in using setcpu, because the existing OS will scale for us?
I really loved the product, but I need to feel like we have a more confident answer to this problem.
Kudos to coolbho3000 for a great product. For the avoidance of doubt, I purchased the product.
I'm having a lot of trouble with this app too...
So I'm returning it until someone can post some settings that work flawlessly
Hi.
I just rooted my Aria and everything is going great. I installed an Overclocking widget that has a function to underclock when the screen goes off, but when it comes back on, the phone is so slow that the reset to proper clock speed takes forever - this annoyed me, so I removed the app.
The problem is, it still does it. Is there anywhere I can look to find out where this function resides and remove it so that the phone never changes its clock speed? I know its kind of a weird question. I went into Superuser Permissions and set the Overclock Widget to "DENY" hoping this would stop it, but it keeps it up!
Also, since installing the Liberated_Aria rom, my phone constantly disconnects from Mobile Wireless. If I go into settings and turn MW off and on, it works fine, until the next time the screen shuts off. Any ideas what might cause this? I doubt its related to the ROM, it just started happening around the time I flashed.
Sorry, Im pretty new to this stuff. I will clarify where needed if my explanations sucked.
Your not going to be able to underclock without a kernel that supports it.
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
ah ok, yeah, sorry, Im pretty new at this stuff and dont know much about it. Either way, it was setting it to 245mhz every time the screen shut off but I fixed it by removing the app, removing the privledges, and installing SetCPU which is maintaining the 600mhz the whole way through.
New question: can the Aria be overclocked? Is there any data available about what the acceptable thresholds are? Id like to get my emulators running a bit better. :O

still need a kernel which supports clocking. doesnt exist yet for the aria/liberty
Doesn't the aria throttle itself anyways? I remember reading that it runs at ~480mhz when idle.

My galaxy S freezes out of the blue, and i can't even turn it off. Sometimes i look to check the time, and noticed the phone is turned off. Both problems are only corrected by taking out the battery, and putting it back in...and then waiting for it to happen again!
Is this a software issue that 2.2 will fix? Should I exchange for a new one, or will all of them have the same problems, if bought from the same place? (Best Buy in Vancouver Canada)
either your battery is not good, or your got a defective phone
the new SGS out of the box works smooth
what is your firmware version?

Sounds like a bad phone. I got mine from one touch in delta and it has been perfect. Return asap and get yourself a working unit.

Thought you meant lag. Mine lags a lot (stock firmware) and sometimes "freezing" seems the word.
But no, that's not it. Perhaps you can try a hard reset and check your sdcard too, something isn't ok.
I'm actually experiencing the same issue. My phone goes black and seems to be happening more in low wireless connection areas. Like in a mall. With the the *# code I get I9000UGJG9.
if you have LAG issues, install the one click lag fix in the development area
problem solved
Its not LAG issues it a complete freeze issue. My phone goes black like standby mode and will not come out of it. The only fix is a battery pull or holding the power button for 6 seconds. The same issue as the op.

that is a factory defect
take it back, exchange it for a good one
this latest firmware is really good, you should not see anything like that
Allright will do. I figured as much I didn't want to bring it back I already purchased some apps. Guess I'll have to wait for my store to get some.

you do not lose the Apps
once you log back into your Gmail account in your new phone, when you go into Android Market, they will remain in the Download section
those apps are saved in your Gmail account, not in the phone.
that's the cool thing about the android phones
so if you ever switch to say an HTC Android, or a Nokia Android, you can still re-install those apps (assuming they are compatible)
Oh sweet I wasn't aware of that. I sold a couple of the Galaxy S and I'm the only one with this issue as of yet. Hopefully it isn't a common one. I've been trying my best to convert Iphone buyers in most cases when I'm sold out to get this phone I just hope it delievers for my customers and they won't have the same issue as me.
Are u futzing with oclocking or changing CPU mode ? This causes hangs with black screen

I believe this same thing just happened to me. Plug in my phone to recharge it (got it 2 days ago, so the battery still runs out quick) then tried to activate it and Lock screen wouldn't disappear when sliding.

you do know you don't just slide
you have to move the entire picture of the "slide" out of the phone frame for it to unlock
if you say only slide it partially, it will just bounce back and remain locked.
if you have thick fingers it wont work properly
you might be better off using the 3rd party unlock screens, specially the kinds that needs no sliding.
i have that issues nowadays too. randomly "freezes" on the black screen, i can call through my phone (ringing) but there's no notification / vibration or anything or sorts.
the only way is to reboot the phone and it'll randomly happen again after some time >.> and the call that i've just missed isn't showing on the call-log either.
i hope it gets better overtime or i'll just have to reflash!
ps. was fine before i tweaked my cpu settings in sleep mode, you might wanna disable that if you're using it.
Mine has the same problem and by the looks of things a lot of people have this issue. I called customer support and after sometime the rep admitted this and said it will be fixed in next build however I doubt that
Then there are probably lots of diff units out there. The phone shouldn't freeze unless you are using a beta/alpha firmware (pretty unlikely - i've tested more than 10 different firmwares without a freeze), or set the core clock of the cpu to a higher & unstable frequency (OC). people claim that their phone can do 1.2ghz - that's nice, but each chip has a different capability.
sorry if some of these questions have already been asked and answered. unfortunantely, my computer crashed due to a manufacturing flaw so I can only access google and this forum via my epic (which can be a pain sometimes). also, since heros threads are always deleted, I cannot ask these questions there. please, any feedback and help would greatly appreciated.
okay so I reflashed backed snack 1.6 w/ ultimate after testing some of the newest froyo builds. id rather wat until I get the official ota upgrade.
after reflashing 1.6 for some reason, android market doesn't appear to be installed. where can I download the application? I even tried reflashing 1.6 over itself but that didn't work.
also, I'm using the new gingerbread youtube but I signed in and now I get a constant fc when I try to open it. how can I fix this? if I can't, where can I download an earlier version of youtube?
another question. this time about battery. using 1.6 w/ ultimate, I get fairly decent battery. only problem is, my battery stats say that my display and standby are what is killing my battery the most. nothing ever runs in the background, every so often I unlock my phone to either check the time or texts or facebook real quick, brightness is on its lowest setting, silent mode, juicedefender running correctly (battery life: x1.56), no data running in the background, drm killed, battery calibrated and battery stats wiped, and everything else possible to to save battery.
and something I'm noticing now that the phone is charging, the battery is quite hot and I'm not even using the phone. it only overheats when its charging and I've also noticed that its only hot when I use certain roms/kernels. any insight on this issue? any way to monitor and regulate temperature?
once again, any help would be appreciated!

Ill take a stab at these. Reason for you market not showing, can't say? Did you wipe 3 times before flashing bs 1.6?
Also never sign in on gingerbread youtube on 2.1 build. I don't think anyone has got that working yet. Simply clear the cache for youtube and you should be set.
Lastly, I don't know what to say about your bettery.. what do you have setcpu running at? Do you have profiles to lower your phones speed when in standby? Couldn't hurt to give it a shot.
Sorry about your computer, all my info is based on personal experience don't really have a "dev" type answer for ya. But hope some of this helps.

thank you for your reply.
yes I did wipe both data, cache, and davlik 3 times. I guess I will do that now and report back.
how would I go about clearing the cache for one specific app? I know I can do that when I open up my settings and go to app development but youtube doesn't show up in that list.
setpcu is oc at 1300 and uc at 200 conservative. profiles are as follows:
charging/full - 1000 and 200 conservative
battery < 15% - 800 and 400 conservative
screen off - 600 and 400 conservative
yeah, brand new computer too. all of a sudden it couldn't recognize the hard drive. and yes, most of my info is based on personal experience and creeping on forums.
edit: wiped everything 3 times and reflashed. market till not appear.

For youtube I just open it up without a data connection and step through the process of signing out only enabling data when needed.
If you're missing market then you need to flash back stock with odin then start fresh. Baked doesn't remove market at all. If anything it's the fastest responding market I've used.
Heat from the battery is usually caused by programs requesting cycles or data. Just restart the phone before bed after your initial battery calibration.

as I stated, I have no computer at the moment. so using odin to go back to stock is out of the question as of now. hopefully there's got to be another way without using odin. if not then I suppose I'm stuck in this predicament until I get my computer back from geek squad. and yes, I've never had a problem with heroes work before. but for some reason, this is happening.
and as I've stated before, no programs or data run in the background on my phone. after initial calibration I rebooted it. and after every boot, I toggle airplane mode on and then off. ill continue to moniter battery temps and see if the problem persists.

Sorry bout that, I did read over that you hadn't had a computer. I overlooked it though. It just sounds like you might have somehow of gotten a corrupt install somehow.
Maybe you can try reinstalling 1.6 over top of itself. I don't really see anything wrong with that, but as stated before though. Make sure you wipe cache and dalvichk 3 times each before you do so.

Hi, I've just flashed leedroid but I seem to be suffering with some small amount of lag that I didn't experience on the stock Rom..... when I open messages or emails for example there is a small pause, and u can visibly see the screen refresh. I never suffered with this this beforehand. Also I have noticed that I'm getting some lag when changing certain settings, the leedeoid Icon pops up whilst its thinking..... now, so far I haven't gotten around to installing the LeeDrOiD Ace V2.2.5 R2 Kernel, is that likely to fix my little issue?
Cheers
Steve
After flashing, have you done another reboot? Sometimes I find a new ROM doesn't settle until I've rebooted a couple of times. Give it a try and see how it feels then report back either way

So far i still seem to be having the slow refresh issue on sms and emails, do u think that the fact I haven't flashed the Ace V2.2.5 R2 Kernel yet could be part of the issue? I'm certainly going to try flashing it to see if it helps..... I know know you've put a heck of a lot of work into this and believe me it is appreciated, just hope I can get it working as well as it was intended.
You could try the kernel... and failing that a full wipe and reflash of the ROM should sort you out

dear lee i have installed your PERFECT rom 2.2 1.8 ghz
but it has frozen 2 times the screen and after rebooting it stays frozen...?
this also happened with coredroid ..any suggestions my friend?
regards(i am new here^^)
Ok, i think i got to the bottom of my lag problems. I have been playing around with set cpu today. I think the minimum speed of 245mhz in smartass was too low and was causing the lag (usually when waking the phone from screen off) I have now changed settings to 'ondemand' with a minimum speed of 245mhz and maximum of 1344mhz but i also created a 'screen off' profile with a working range of 245mhz to 576mhz which seems to give it a bit more poke when waking from screen off No more lag! ( i still have the visible refresh issue i mentioned, maybe i'm imagining that one though, maybe it did do it on the stock rom but i didn't take note of it....??)
So, i really have no idea if i've done the right thing with the way i have set up setcpu so if anyone would care to comment on the settings i've used please do so.
Many thanks again for all the help.
