Phone stuck in screen off, please help. - Droid X General

Obviously, I'm using a rooted DX. I have liberty 1.5 installed. I also use Droid X overclock. Many times a day, when the screen is off, and I try to unlock the phone, the screen never wakes up, I try pressing different buttons but it just remains unresponsive. Meanwhile , I can see that the phone is still working (the clock, the unlock button, etc. ). It takes like 2-3 minutes, then the phone reboots.
Could the reason be the fact that I make the phone underclock (400,800) when the screen is off?? so it doesn't have enough power to wake up??
PS: NOOB

Thanks a lot. Apparently I'm not the only one having this issue. Too bad, liberty is a good ROM other than this issue.

Phone freezes on standby?

Every so often my phone will hang on standby and refuse to come back. Buttons at the button usually light up, but that's it. Nothing else happens and I have to pull the battery.
Any ideas? I didn't disable any services or remove stock apps. I rooted the phone and installed busybox, but no one else seems to be sharing the same problems.
The only time i had my epic not come out of sleep was when i was using set cpu. Do you have that installed?
No, I'm not using SetCPU. :/
Anyone have an idea?
Could the phone just be defective? The capacitive buttons at the bottom are always lit up when the phone crashes, but nothing responds.
happened to me also once. don't know why-- no set cpu
Is your phone rooted? I had the same problem when I was rooted just reflash the stock rom with odin it should fix it

I am rooted, using the one click rooter (not a custom kernel). I suppose I could just unroot and see if that fixes it.
My problems stopped after using setcpu.

Screen going blank

Sometimes the screen goes blank and is compleyely unresponsive, I have to pull the battery to get it to work again. Is this a common problem? I haven't seen much of this on these forums.

Happened to me this morning. Actively using phone then... nothing. Blank screen, no response to the power button. I also had to pull the battery to get it working again.
First time I've seen this in seven days of having the phone.
Ya'll overclocked?

Had it happen to me twice today, kind of annoying and not overclocked.

I haven't overclocked it yet. I'm kinda waiting for perm root before I start tinkering with that. This has happened to me twice so far.

Not overclocked either.

Came here to see if anyone else was having this problem.
It has happened to me about 3 times over the past couple weeks. Unresponsive, blank screen (powered off?), have to pull the battery before it will restart.

Happened to me today as well. I wasn't running rooted at the time, and the TMo forums have people reporting this problem as well.
Unfortunately, at the time this happened, I didn't think to throw 'adb logcat' at it to see if the phone had stopped responding all together or it was some kind of hardware issue.
hmm weird, I was having a lot of issues when I OC to 1.42ghz, black screen, phone freezes, having to pull battery each time.. very annoying, so i just went back to 800mhz and it runs amazing
This has happen to me numerous times before i forced the ota update and i only got the problem once after the update I seem to get it most when i press the power button to turn the screen on it let me slide to unlock it but i shows a black screen and i can only see the notification bar at the top and it is totally unresponsive for a good 10 seconds untilli keep pushing the home button and eventually the black screen goes away for me
and i was oc to 1ghz before ota but not yet oc bak yet so it leads me to believe that the oc was not the issue because i got the same black screen with out being oc
After the update all the glitches went away. It has been running like a champ since.

when my screen goes blank I hold down the power button till Power Off Prompt comes up then hit back. It always fixes my blank screen
Are any of you using NoLED... Because I had that problem, and when I un-installed it, the problem went away

[Q] DX Touch Screen Stops Responding

The touch screen on my DX stops responding several times a day. It very random, it can be during a text, answering a call, etc. If I lock and unlock the screen, its back to normal. Its running the OTA 2.3.340 and is rooted, but this started prior to rooting. The "tech" at VZW said to do a factory reset but I'd rather not have to re-setup everything. Anyone else have this problem and have you found a fix? Any help appreciated. Thanks.
I have this exact same problem
Are you using a rom? It happens to me every once in a while, maybe every other day or so, sometimes twice in a day. I thought it might be the rom I'm using. I'm on liberty but everything else works fine for me so I was just waiting it out till they get version 1.5 released.
Beamed from my robot X using the XDA app
No other ROM, it is stock other than rooting and removing a few bloatware packages. It did this before removing any of that though.
My phone just started doing this recently as well. I think a program running in the background might be at fault. I'm still trying to find out which one

It happens to me while trying to use lock screen... I'm on apex and it always happened while using apex and on liberty until i switched to the rotary lock slide

Same issue here.I think this is a documented bug, and I haven't seen anyone post a fix for it anywhere

[Q] MT4G won't sleep with Sense

Hi
I have a rooted stock ROM/Theme MT4G which I noticed last week that it stopped going to sleep. If I set the timeout to 15 seconds (or anything) then right after the timeout is reached the screen sleeps and then within a second immediately comes back on (to the lock screen). It keeps doing that no matter what settings I try. This of course kills the battery life with my screen being nearly 100% of use.
I thought it was related to an app update so I removed nearly everything I could to no avail. Thinking that it was something related to the ROM I decided to try a different ROM. I installed CM7RC2 and low and behold the same problem persisted. I had to disable trackball wake for this problem to go away. I then tried several other ROMs and the problem still remained. I've attempted the various Royal* ROMs and the same problem persisted. Any Sense based ROM was problematic since I had no way of disabling Trackball Wake so I'm now running CM7 (nighties).
The other snag I'm having is that I too have the problematic power button but in my case I have to REALLY press hard to operate the power button which of course is annoying.
Anyone have any suggestions or experience with this sort of problem?
Thanks.
Did you check out the Cyanogen mod 7 in settings ?
I did. That's what I'm running now.what exactly are you suggesting? Thanks.

I have the same exact issue, ive been trying to get some devs to add the disable trackpad wake option in sense roms but so far nothing so right now i use either royalginger or royalmiui im on miui but i really miss sense :/
I had the same thing. I booted into recovery and wiped data and cache and flashed again and everything worked.

I must have done that a bunch of times already but nothing worked except CM7 because I can disable the trackpad wake function. I wish Sense based ROMs allows for disabling the trackpad...that would be greatly appreciated. An even more helpful feature is the ability to remap the buttons.
Is it possible your trackpad is defective? DO you notice other odd behavior that could be related to it?
If your using google voice its the application doing that you can fix this on cm 7 by moving the application to the Sd card.

I believe this is a real hardware issue... It seemed that the optical sensor in the trackpad is broken and it's always sending signal to the kernel telling that it detected activity but in reality nothing was going on, so the kernel can never go into power saving mode.
Sense UI is a CLOSED SOURCE software, there's nothing you can do to patch it.
Since ALL MT4G are still under the 1 year Manufacturer's warranty, you should call T-Mobile/HTC to get it fixed or just get a replacement....
Ok I found a solution for us mt4g owners with the messed up trackpads, you are gonna have to flash virtuous unity rom v. 2.39 and then apply this patch:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28766802/Virtuous/trackpad_disabled.zip
This patch was made by one of the developers of the rom chrisch1974 specially for this issue, so good luck =D
Same problem, but found work-around
My phone (MT4G) has the same issue but I know why it happened. I got caught in the rain and although I had the phone in my pocket, it got wet. Everything works except that. I left in a bag of rice overnight to no avail.
Anyway, when I press the power button to send it to sleep mode, it just comes back to the lock screen. If I let it time out, it goes out but comes right back to the lock screen. Sounds familiar?
What works for me is holding the home button (the one with the sensor) and, while still holding the home button, pressing the power button once. It is then that I let go of the home button.
Works, but sometimes I have to repeat this charade a couple of times before it sticks. Usually have to repeat it when I don't fully press the home button.
Anyway, hopefully this will help someone that is stuck with this phone and is unable to get a replacement.

Desire HD randomly vibrated

As mentioned above, im having problems with my DHD. It mostly vibrates when im pushing it into my pocket. But no always. Also sometimes when it's already few minutes in my pocket.
When i check it i can only see blank screen, so it's really strange what causes phone to vibrate.
Any ideas?

Mine does this too, does it more if I catch the volume buttons as I put it in my pocket. All with the screen off. I can sometimes get it to do it if I mess with the volume buttons then go to unlock the screen. The phone freezes for a second, then vibrates and unlocks. Occasionally it has rebooted after doing this. No idea why.
No idea but mine started to do it last night too, I shut it down, removed and replaced the battery then restarted it and its been fine since.

Disscussion is on in another thread also...
If it vibrates that means the volume up and down button has been pressed, so bug report is getting created. It will be stored in the bugreport folder in the sdcard. Once the report is done it will viberate once again...It might look a rendom viberate...
If it restarts that means power button and voulme up and down has been pressed...(It happens sometime while taking out or putting the phone into pocket).....
Hope this help....
Thanks for realy fast replys. I checked error folder and it is really full of errors.
So in time my phone case will stretch and problems will be gone.
BTW, could you please provide link to related topic?
