Walking dead.... I can't be the only one

Ok I'm using newest energy cht rom radio 2.12.50 and shubcraft froyo android build with 384 zimage....
Heres the problem that I have had all week my phone works fine when I am stationary minimal screen freezes great speed but when I get up and walk with my phone and try to use it the screen freezes almost every time then the entire phone freezes. I have also noticed this on elevator and when I step out of my car.. this is weird and I know it can't be just me as its been going on for a week now.
So to sum it up stationary best phone ever...walking phone dead and I wanna slam it on the ground.

try the desire v5's zimage, no freeze at all

Im having same issues,with all the version i have tried, including V5 aparently this screen freezing is a known issue and makes the use of Android in our HD2 very very frustrating.
ive upgraded my SD to a class 6 and still suffering from it
Im wondering if there is a program that causes it or its just the OS...
in any case We have to be patient ,im sure pretty soon the amazing developers will come with a solution.

might be a screen rotation issue

Just came back from street, again same issue.
I thought it may be the network connection that was affecting the phone, so i switched to Airplane mode and turn off automatic updates,still this didnt help...
so im beginning to think this is related to yes,either the screen rotation (maybe as we walk it does affect the sensor )or gps..

I've just learned to deal. Its better than SoD's or being in Winmo and having to pull the battery out.

I actually noticed it today as I went from a dark room to a very well lit room so Im with u guys it seems its either rotation issue or light sensor issue andvi have no doubt in my mind the devs will have it fixed in no time just didn't see it mentioned anywhere else so figured it was worth a mention. Thanks all I'm so glad I'm not alone on this one.

when in windows mobile make sure to disable all battery and back light settings and in android change blacklight settings and sleep setting to stay on

I am having the same issue - using ChuckyDroidROM + shubCRAFT CM6RC2, basically when I start moving or even moving the phone the touch screen becomes very unresponsive and sometimes even the hardware buttons don't function properly. At first I thought it was just my device until I saw this post...

Think its a bug with manusfreedoms 384mb ram enabled Zimage dident get this problem using past images.
sure it will be sorted next image release.

I thought i was alone in this case too !
We are not a lot with that screen touch lag, so maybe we did something wrong. Here is what i found so far :
-Changing build don't rix the problem
-tried another radio, another rom...nothing.
I tested 27/07 03/08 cotulla zimage, now manufeeedom 382mo zimage-nopc, the problem is still here.
changed from a class 2 to a class 4 and seems to be worse. (!)
You are right, it seems to be worse when i am moving from one room to another so maybe it is gsensor related.
Right now it is hard for me to type that text,
Don't know what to do... buy a class 10 sdcard ?

I just got my HD2 today and got android set up. I'm noticing the same thing as everyone else with the unresponsive touchscreen. It happens every time I tilt the phone to try to change the screen rotation. Usually hitting the hardware button allows it to respond once again, but it happens quite often.

hey hey hey first and formost i see u guys all hav the same issuse what i dont see is ur device info along with the rom, radio, android verison, and the location ur android is stored ... i have the lates verison of droid v5 also energy with cookie full and my radio is 2.8 i believe android is on the sd card and running smooth ... now that the intro is out of the way hav u guys read what was needed , reason askin i found the thread where the question and answer is... and yes u guys are the only ones... now please do a search go up to the first thread of android on hd2, and good day to u all

Wingtytn, can you be more precise in your answer ? I am a quite long user in Xda, always try to help when i know and i never ask a question wich have been answered somewhere. I don't think i have the noob profile you seems to write. If you think about formatting sdcard, of course i did. I have a 2.08 radio, latest shubcraft build with manufreedom 382mo zimage. My rom was changed to a light android dedicated one, the latest chuckydroid rom. Just don't know what else to do and waste a lot of time trying to fix that from myself.

The TS issue is kernel related, that's why using an older kernel say the no speedy one should fix it. This is also the reason why this issue is being seen over multiple builds.

Thanks a lot shu8i, i will try an older zimage than the 27/07's cotulla.
Edit : Mmh exact same problem with the 23/07 zimage Cotulla_zImage_CABDET_NOSPEEDDY. That is weird.
I will order a clas 10 sdcard and see what happen...

Try the game ”Runners”. It uses both the camera and the g-sensor and freezes mad anytime, anywhere. Huge affirmation to the idea it's a bug of the g-sensor's or otherwize the screen's drivers.
DuperMan

Me too with screen freezes, i had tried all builds and same result. I think this is a problem with SD access because i noticed more freezes as more apps opened in backgroud.

Try to calibrate the g sensor

Found something ...
try disabling auto-rotation feature (settings -> display)
It works perfectly for me now.
Can you confirm that works for you too?
Did you dind a way to calibrate g-sensor on froyo?
Why the auto-rotation feature hangs so much for us?

Touch Screen Freezes?

I'm still getting touch screen freezes with any of the Cyanogen Mod Froyo builds, Bangsters/HyperDroid, assumed to be associated with the g-sensor.
I re-formatted my SD-Card and re-installed and I'm still getting freezes.
This is the 1 thing that is stopping both from becoming a perfect build, as everything else is amazing.
Any suggestions? Does it have something to do with AXI/NOAXI/EVO kernels? Under-overvolting? Is it the kernel?

Ive had problems with screen freezes with almost every rom, but i got barely any on this one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790374
It also is a very good looking rom.

Yeah, I've experienced similar results, though I dislike SENSE based builds and prefer a Cyanogen Mod. I know Sense builds are more stable in the sense that they don't have as many touch-screen freezes, but would like to find a solution for the other builds.

I didnt get any touch freezes with this setup: http://leoandroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=212&t=168

Are the devs trying to fix this problem/Are they aware of it? I'm asking because I have not heard anything about this issue since months and the release notes list g-sensor as "working" (freezes are definitely related to or caused by g-sensor). The freezing problem still exists. I can even reproduce it perfectly when g-sensor is activated. Compass is shaky too.
I've tried a LOT of builds since September, mostly Mdeejays (love them ) the last few weeks. Could reproduce it with any build. Also tried many radio ROMs, many WinMo ROMs -> no change.

It's the kernel. Try one of the builds that use a current kernel (such as Hastarin's, rather than the old desire-based kernal on most of the stock builds). They still get the occasional, very short, freeze, but it is almost un-noticable. I'm using Darkstone's stock build (from here) with hastarin's 7.8 and it's fine with screen rotation left on.
The freezes are caused by saturating the i2c bus on the device. G-sensor is one of the things on that bus, but not the only one. The current kernels have increased the speed of the bus to help keep it clear, but it is now set to its maximum speed. I'm not sure if there where other fixes done as well.

I was using different versions of hastarins kernels. I don't get the freezes (only sometimes) when I hold the device in a normal way. But I get them EVERY time when the camera is facing down (for example when I look on the ground in streetview in Google maps with activated compass function, or when I play teeter). It's the same position you have to lay down the device for calibrating the g-sensor. The air bubbles will freeze almost every time in this position. All other orientations work very well.
I've made some videos where you can see the problem (sorry for the quality):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RlCuITimvM
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8PWNIhwTqM

There is workaround which works: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803242... new hastarin and mdeejay kernels include this patch... and no, freezes aren't caused by saturating i2c bus but by occasionally not releasing i2c bus by g-sensor chip after reading its state...

Kernel with Sensor Fix?

Hi
I know, was discussed so many times...but because of just this, I'm confused as hell. Whenever my batterycharge is quite low, my phone starts to hang pretty frequently...the touchinputs at least. I noticed, that this happens, when I walked a bit with my phone. So my guess would be, that the g-sensor is overloaded and that freezes the touchscreen. I know, there are Kernels that deactivate the g-sensor, but it's a handy tool for screenorientation. So, is there a fixed kernel which leaves the g-sensor activated but removes the touchscreen-freeze bugs?
Hope someone can help me.
Greetings
NessD

wow ... i didnt know the battery charge has play in this ... i guess ill keep it better beefed up ... thanks for da tip

Its still a mystery to me. Because a lot of people seems not having this issue anymore.... Not me, with the last radio, trying wm roms and several builds. Like you, it is very hard to walk typing a sms. Ok I will not be hit by a car but its still frustrating hehe

Yeah, I just noticed that I get those problems when 2 cases are given: Low Battery Charge (full battery is no problem) AND when the HD2 moves around alot. I get touchscreen freezes then. Either one for it's own is no problem, but both keep producing the freezes.

I haven't had ANY touchscreen freezes using hastarin R8. It's actually probably the best one ive used. No touch screen freezes and the auto brightness works on CM6.

No kernels have fixed this yet, some builds claim "no g-sensor freezes" but they do. (or at least they do for me, i'm not doing something wrong am i?)

Hastarin r8 does not work for me...using Hyperdroid v1.7, can't get data to work...

Experimental kernel released that (should) fix this.

phone call = unresponsive phone

okay so i've used the phiremod skinnyEVO1.5 and Mdeejay eVo Sense Stock and i've had the same problem with both. Whenever i make a phonecall/receive a phonecall, as soon as the person and i end the call my phone goes completely unresponsive. the screen goes completely black, and none of the hardware keys light up
the only thing ive found that can get the phone to come back 'to life' so the speak is to call the phone again and end the call on my phone with the end button.this doesnt always work though.
im running the Chunkydroidrom in WM and have radio 2_12_50_02
i even updated the kernel on the Mdeejay build and it still happens
is there anything that can be done to fix this?
please help me guys

different build, but same issue, nexus one by ummmmmmmmm matc forget which version. radio 2.15, wm chunky gtx sense with that CHT 2.0 i think..................

so far our windows mobile rom is the same cook, could be where to start im about to change my winmo rom

i just changed my windows mobile rom to ozdroid and im still having the same problem, and when i use the included bootloader i get robotic/froggy sounds in phone calls. maybe its not running clrcad correctly so ill try it the old fashioned way and see what happens

please
bump
can someone pleasee help?

good luck in finding help. Ive had some of the same issues i believe. My phone will completely freeze during a call for now apparent reason. it'll working fine in the call in the just freeze during my call. I tried different winmo roms that are suggested for droid builds. i believe i tried every radio available for tmo and about every build of driod and the problem is still there. It may run fine for a day then it starts freezing. I've posted a question about this yesterday and 97 people have viewed it and one person suggested i return the phone. I don't believe that its a hardware issue, more like a software issue. I guess i better learn how to pull the logs and then i may get a reply. i just haven't found a place that it explains it well enough for me to do it myself. My persistence will prevail though, cause I'm addicted.

Well please if you ever figure it out please let me know as this can get quite annoying

Disable Auto-Rotate in the Settings>Display.
See if that helps.

I had the same problem. I have Advanced Task Killer installed and it was set to kill apps on screen off. I turned off the option to kill apps on screen off and so far it solved my phone call = unresponsive phone.

I have theese issues only if i have certain call recorder softwares installed .. try uninstalling them , and if nothing helps delete ur data.img and do a fresh start(u can back it up tho if it prooves unusefull)

@souljaboy
what exactly do you mean by certain call recorder softwares installed? such as which ones?
@JonSolo
i disabled auto rotate and i still experienced the problem during phonee calls
@mike91t
i changed my auto kill to every 4 hours, so i'll let you know what happens with that over the course of the week

Same problem here, I've turned off screen autorotate, and I don't have any task killers installed. Everything works fine, and even a call or two, then it stops working and audio during calls doesn't work, and phone app becomes unresponsive.

have you tried a different radio rom?! maye 2.14 will help.

well i waws thinking about changing to 2.14 but the android build im using recommends certain roms for best performance so i was going to keep using the radio rom and see if anything improved, so far i dont really think its working, so i might change to 2.14 because people seem to be having the less problems with it

[Q] Gingerbread freezing issue

Hello... First of all I'm not a noob... I have this weird issue: When I turn on my screen, it sometimes doesn't respond from first touch ( but the second always works )... Not matter how much I wait after lighting the screen it doesn't respond from first touch (occasionally) :S... For some reason this only happens on gingerbread, froyo runs like a charm and windows mobile and WP7... I have tried litterally everything: I have tried like every gingerbread build, task 29, tried several radios, reHSPLed my device No matter what I still have this issue :S ... It can't be a hardware issue coz froyo, WP7 and wm run gr8 and its not wake up lag... I have done my searches before posting but found nothing... Its a weird issue, not a big deal but very annoying coz I don't wanna be stuck on froyo forever ... P.S: I even tried the gpc 2.3.4 build but having same issue... I'd appreciate any reply Anyboddy experiencing same issue?
