Random freezing? - Galaxy S I9000 General

This happen to anyone else? I was just happily using my phone, press the home button, which took me home as described, then completely froze, which required me to remove the battery.
This seems to happen randomly and for no apparent reason, but it IS irritating...
Has happened to me regardless of firmware revisions, but fwiw I'm on jm8 with the tatayuma lite rom, hardly any widgets, and launcher pro...

try APN on/off or NoBars
there is an open topic about this problem

Power button lag ? A few seconds to Resume

I started noticing a few days ago that when my phone is in stand-by, and I turn it on, pressing the power button, it takes longer than usual to wake up, like 5 seconds.
I don't remember this happening before. Last time I upgraded the ROM was back in November. I have VP3G 3.62.3, and everything was always working fine. I also use Slide2Unlock, and at first I thought this was causing the lag, because of a memory problem, maybe it was taking too much memory to be loaded, or something like that could have changed. But no even if I disable slide2unlock and use it normal, it still happens. I even re-loaded the ROM, without anything else (the lite version), but no matter what, when I turn the phone off (make it sleep), whenever I try to turn it back on, the lag is always there.
Anyone else experiencing this? Do you know of any cause or solution?
Thanks very much.
My phone does the same thing, but it's no big deal. Occassionally I'll hit the button twice thinking I didn't hit it right the first time, but it's really not a big deal.
Sounds normal, but there are some cooked roms that are quicker then others depending on addons (the TNT rom is one of them for me). If you have not already, try using 'startclean', 'hibernate' and 'cleartemp' apps daily to free up memory, cache, etc...

Erratic/laggy touchscreen performance

I've been getting very strange/unwanted touchscreen issues for a while now. It seems to happen randomly and for hours at a time. When I press the power button to wake the phone and turn the screen on, I can't even drag the unlock slider to unlock the phone. It takes numerous wake/sleep power button presses until I can get the screen to respond to my finger. Sometimes I'll be typing and it will go crazy and highlight buttons back and forth quickly, usually two or three letters almost always off to the left side of the screen. When this happens I am unable to get it to stop or register any other screen presses. I have to press the power button and then press it again to wake it and I'm stuck at the unlockable lock screen. Only after repeated attempts does it finally get through and the problem will go away for a while, only to come back later.
I have used the program 'Dotty' to track the touch points and I noticed that it will sometimes show a multicolored touch point off to the left of the screen and it will jump around, and it won't detect any other new touch points.
Soooo I think my screen touch sensor is messed up somehow. Does anyone else have this happen? Seems to have started when I flashed the kernel to get rid of the 30 fps cap. I have recently flashed Fresh 3.1.0.1 and still have this problem, different kernel with that rom correct? I'll try to get a video up sometime to show this in action...
Yes, I've been having the exact same issue. I even did a hard reset, with the assumption that it was an app. My plan was to add them back slowly until I got the issue, the problem was it happened as soon as the phone rebooted on the reflash. I have no idea what the issue is, but its very frustrating.
I'm running 2.2 stock...
Some people have reported touch screen problems with netarchy's kernel. There is usually a revision to correct this problem for people who are experiencing it. I suggest you carefully read over the OP in that thread and determine what kernel is right for you. There is usually a version specifically for Fresh users also.
MIGHT i ask what widgets are you running??
i talked about it before when running the pre-official ota rom.
it was my htc music widget (half sized one) i had running on the home screen.. caused lag like a mofo, couldnt swipe most of the time, capacitive buttons wouldnt react, pressing the app drawer button wouldnt respond till 5 seconds later...
AS A MATTER OF FACT.
im running fresh 3.1.0.1 + latest kernel + music widget on home screen.. LAAAGGG like before. removing it makes things snappier again.
YEP. Its happening again.
when i ran the STOCK Official rooted rom, with music widget on home screen didnt produce this lag and poor touch input, even with kernel it didnt produce this problem.
Mine is fine, no screen problems!!! stock rooted rom!!

[Q] Can't turn my screen back on once it goes off

I had widget locker installed, it was working great since yesterday. Today this problem started.
Once the screen goes off/sleep, I can not turn it back on. Using either the home or power button. I removed widget locker, and set the home action back to ADW Launcher.
The phone is seemingly still working, because I was on a 10 min phone call, but after the screen would not come back on, so I couldn't end the call or use it at all. I have to pull the battery, and turn the phone on to use it, of course that's only useful until the screen goes off again lol.
Any ideas? I am going to wipe it/reapply the rom tonight to see if that fixes it, but not sure how it could be software now since the only new app lately was widget locker and I've uninstalled it. I also got rid of NoLed just in case it was that, although it wasn't enabled.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
I also noticed something while using Widgetlocker, sometimes when i unlock my screen, the "BACK" softkey when pressed does not vibrate the phone! the menu one does... I need to lock the screen and unlock again and voila... its working
Seems like Widgetlocker is bringing lots of problems
check what software you have installed recently
most likely one of those apps is keeping the screen off

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well the ones I installed recently was Widget Locker. Before that I didn't have the problem, and I've removed that app. I haven't installed anything else in the past day.
I was just reading about setcpu potentially having this problem. Which would be weird since I've had that installed for a week and just now am having issues. I'm playing with it's settings now.
you can always to a quick format and restore the settings to ROM default
*2767*3855#
and reinstall each app, to see which one caused the problem

[Q] Sluggish phone, home and power button don't always wake up phone

It's bone stock. I haven't even bothered to root it yet. Recently in the last week or two, sometimes after I updated to the most recent update the phone has become sluggish. The keyboard will sometimes take a long time to pop up and then when it does it will be laggy to type. It reminds me of how the stock messaging app was which is why I installed Textra.
Hitting the home or power button doesn't always take it up, I've tried holding the home button and still doesn't seem to work, still just a black screen. Holding the power button down it will eventually bring up the menu with "power off, reboot" etc on it and then I can use the home button but still sluggish.
I tried booting into Safe Mode and that seems to make it work normally.
I can't remember installing anything new recently so I'm wondering what could have caused the issues I'm experiencing? I know the boards are mostly geared towards people that root their phone and install custom roms but this is driving me crazy.
I uninstalled Yahoo Weather. It had been acting weird lately anyway and it seems to have fixed things... no idea why. Very strange.
wow--weird, but glad you got it--:good:
if you reinstall yahoo weather try clearing data and cache for app in settings/apps and see if that helps

Freezing.. Suggestions?

Long story short... did a full wipe and reinstall of 4.4.2 because after a couple updates on Next Launcher 3D, my phone was giving me nothing but grief with a variety of errors. Now with this fresh install and only the following apps installed:
Mi Xplorer
Titanium Backup
Puffin
MX Player
Groove IP
RingTo
CamScanner
Google Keep
App Hider
Sygic Maps
Poweramp
WeatherBug
aCalendar
Zello
My phone is freezing on me multiple times a day and I'm ready to throw it against the wall.
What I noticed is, that it seems to freeze after it sits idle for an hour or two... but runs fine as long as I am messing with it. I can literally tinker with the phone for hours and all is good, but as soon as I put it down and not touch it... FREEZE! When I am sleeping I always wake up like every 1 1/2 - 2 hrs and I check the time and over an 8 hour period, it will be frozen at least 3 out of 4 times.
Also noted is this when it freezes: I hit power/lock button to turn on screen and attempt to scroll and nothing... if I hit power/lock again to turn off screen... rehitting power/lock will not turn phone back on and will eventually reboot on it's own.
Noticed this when I have Lock Screen Turned off: If I turn on screen and hold down Home button it will still open and close Recent Apps but frozen on that screen and if I hold Home button to turn on and off the Recent Apps, after a couple times the WiFi icon will vanish and then eventually come back up and alakazam the phone is no longer frozen.
Anyone have a clue? Just guessing, but it almost seems to be a WiFi issue because why would the WiFi unfreeze the phone once it turns back on?
Appreciate all the suggestions and help... figured out what was causing the freezes and 2 days straight now freeze free.
I'm having the same problem. What worked for you? Thanks.
