It all started when I upgraded to a new rom. So the first thing I did was ditch the rom and install a new rom. I was running Black 3.0.1 and now updated to Black Satin.
The time it takes to lock up seems to very. I have had times where I could leave it for 4hrs and then hit the power button and it comes to life, other times I can have it sit for 30mins and hit the power button only to find it won't wake up. When it is in its locked up state, it won't even receive calls. It just sits there with the top right led blinking green. Its really getting frustrating.
In order to get it to come back I have to push the reset button on the bottom of the phone with my stylus.
I have been reading as many "lock up" threads as I can on the forum and so far it seems that most are to do with Push Mail. Which I don't use.
Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
I dont know if its a ROM issue as my does this sometimes (dont know about incoming calls as i dont get that many anyway) I am on the stock T-Mobile rom
I dont use push mail either
doesn't happen much to me (now i said i bet it does it all the time )
I think it seems to do it when i havnt soft restarted it for a while, so it could be that the lock up is due to memory or something and it just needs a soft reset to clear it down
I also have this problem, only a soft reset makes the phone respond. This happens sometimes when the phone has only been reset an hour previously.
It also happened once during the night and caused my alarm to not go off, so I only made it to the office for 10:30!!
Did you guys find a solution or did the problem just go away?
bump
got the same problem.
For me the problem went away only after I installed a new radio and new rom. I honestly don't know what was causing the problem. But it went away and I am happy. There might have been an issue with an installed app, but I never did find any app that directly caused the issue.
so i'm having this issue which is horrribly irritating, everytime i go onto my browser, use music, and recently whenever i get a call some application always has to foreclose. Its usually google apps, phone, or browser, but its been many other things as well (i.e. cnn widget, bbc widget, gps widget, etc.) this has been preventing me from answering my calls or basically using my phone in gerneral. Also before the phone call app or watever you call it started foreclosing and my phone was asleep, it usually took such a long time for the phone to wake up that i would miss the call, the phone wouldnt even let me click the green answer button to answer the call. Now i thought the problem was with my rom, which at the time was JF 1.51 Tmobile version so i changed my rom to Haykuro. The problem still existed so i changed to cyanogen 3.6.8.1 at first the problem was no longer existent, but a few days back it started again. I have no idea how to fix this or how to cope with it but any help would be great. Thanks.
LOL I think you need to change the title... Foreclose is different than a Force Close LOL
It could be compcache or a background task that's using a lot of memory/cpu that's causing the force closes.
Does anyone got noticeable delay in start of the call when tap contact from the call history list?
I suspect it started after latest (1.31.405.4) ROM installation and happens periodically - you just tap the contact and nothing happens (sometimes at all but sometimes it reacts after minute or so and suddenly starts to call).
There could be at least two causes:
1. No reaction on actual "tap" (hard to explain why it finally calls sometimes but I noticed that Call button could give different reactions comparing to clicks on actual contact)
2. Process that executes call is doing something in the background (freeing up memory? restarting? doing some sync?)
After it "breaks through" it works for some time seamlessly - you just touch the contact and it calls immediately but after some time (even after phone reboot) the glitch is back
NB. I uninstalled almost all apps (including beautiful Timeriffic) I've got from Android Market and prey it's not related to the Exchange Sync and apps around it... Let's see if I still have problem tomorrow.
same problem i got. any solution pls tell.

Same problem
it could be a memory leak or something who knows,
the phone hasnt been out for long and there may be more updates comming.
plus if its a performance problem then when android 2.2 comes out with the JIT compiler it should be faster
lifeis, do you have any applications (in addition to pre-installed) on your device?
Version 1
The more I observe situations when dialer "hangs" the more I suspect that it happens due to some synchronization. Already several times I noticed such behavior starts when "data" icon indicates some outgoing traffic but nothing comes back (no active incoming arrow). Could it be that it tries to sync contact (with Exchange? Twitter? Facebook? Gmail?) and at the OS level it sees that network is "available" (somebody here already complained about similar issues) so needs to time-out instead of skip that attempt and proceed with requested operation immediately?
mee too
Today i notice that when i press the contact and after i pres power button screen goes and comes and phone starts dialing. I think sync cause this. May be latest update they can solve this. I had a hero and hero did n't have problem like that.
Dialer lag present on my device aswell. its not often and oddly happens when no apps are running in background. I think it conflicts with whatever sync services may be syncing at the time one tries to make a call

Same with mine. There is also a lag when I press the "Sync All' immediately after a WiFi connection is established.
Hope they fix this as it is quite annoying. And also make Maps 4 "officially" available to Legend.
Same problem
I started after updating the legend software!
Anyone have a solution?
Is it possible to go back to earlier software?

Does anyone willing to try? Not sure that I'm ready to spend another half a day restoring all settings and configurations after factory reset (also suspect that chances to succeed are not too high)...
Ah c'mon! that's like "hey do you have a problem with one application in windows? Ok that's the solution: go to ms dos and then type "format c:\"....
Ridiculus. HTC should just understand what's going on and release an update!
The reset actually works. I have not re-installed all of the applications i had before and did not use the backup file to restore the phone in its previous state so the dissappearence of the lag might be due to some setting being restored to default, but whatever the reason, the legend is now much faster.
Factory reset
Have you also installed latest ROM after factory reset?

Actually the update was still there after the reset - I didn't have to update again.
More observations
Interesting observations:
You try to call - dialer hangs
If you return to home screen you see that widget time is correct while status string on the top shows "outdated" time
If you try to browse some web page it connects and you see the content - I got feeling that this is some kind of "break thorough" since after that -->
Time at the status string gets updated
Almost immediately after that phone starts calling
Reset
Gave up and did factory reset - took couple of hours to restore it to the wanted state. Let's see if that solves the problem or I get issue back after returning configuration to the desired state.
Last observation I did before reset: problem disappears (or minimizes?) if I keep WiFi off - especially if Legend sees some network around but isn't connected. The same applies if it unsuccessfully tries to connect to some faulty router - most probably dialer lag starts after that...
Hi everybody,
Factory reset helped here. I didn't make lots of tests but after 3 days of using I didn't notice the lag.

Michal

Hi everyone,
I had the same problem and the factory reset helped me,too.
I believe that either the rom update or one of the applications I have installed was causing the problem.
Now I will begin re-installing all the applications I had before and see if the problem will reappear again.

It appears that storing (remembering) wifi networks slows down connecting to any of them when present. When I only have one network remembered connecting to it is almost instant, while as soon as I remember other network setting, connecting to same network is much slower, even if is the only one present.
Hi,
I've had my phone about a month now. I rooted it the day I got it. It seems like whenever I wake it up from long sleep or get a text message sometimes and try to wake it up, it freezes during the swipe and then randomly reboots. Sometimes it'll just make it to the att symbol and lock up again making me hold power down and then turn it back on. Then it works fine for a good period of time before the issue happens again.
tried- returning phone to stock. Didn't fix. Tried uninstalling att bloatware, not as frequent now but still happens. I have tried underclocking using rom manager. Didn't change anything. Next step maybe to try a custom rom and see if maybe there's a problem with my factory rom? Right now im in safe mode to see if its a third party app.
Is anyone else having this problem or should I consider warranty issue?
Not a third party app
It just did this in safe mode, so it must not be a third party app issue. I'm thinking about trying to install wicked rom following directions on galaxys4root.com. If it still freezes I think it may be a hardware issue.. Anyone have any thoughts?
alt keyboard?
My phone was/is doing the same thing. It seems to me like the phone is working now and I haven't had it freeze up since last night. Every time I install Swiftkey it starts freezing up and I have to pull the battery to reboot.
Has anyone come across this issue which I have lately with any of the custom roms that I try?
description:
the dialer freezes either when you try to answer an incoming call or even when you try to initiate a call. Dialer freezes completely, you can't kill it and no button is responsive, it doesn't crash though. Pressing the home button may take you to desktop but if you pull the notification list, you can still see the icons that show that the phone is still in dialing mode. During that time, if anyone calls you the phone is unresponsive so it is directed to voicemail. When this happens, restarting and trying within short interval will reproduce the problem. I noticed that it usually happens with low battery level.
I have tried to uninstall callrecorder (which I was suspecting was relevant), uninstall xposed in order to disable all exposed modules (in case any of those was interfering). It also used to happen on other ROM so it must not be something specific to any ROM, maybe the base though because I only experienced this on XXUGNG8 base.
My latest idea was to put back my oem Samsung battery as I was using a Mugen battery but again the same never happened with any of the older roms
Any feedback is welcome.

I would try the standard things.
Your old battery.
Different base rom or even try an aosp rom.
Maybe a full wipe.
