My DX is possessed. Seriously though... the screen becomes unresponsive, random buttons are being pushed without the screen being touched, massive amounts of lag.... I have to reset the phone 4 or 5 times a day on average, sometimes more. I recently installed the GB leak but it was doing the same thing on Liberty 1.5 & the IncerdibleDoes Rom from Chingy.
Its driving me nuts! Help?!
Do a factory wipe on it. I had some wonkiness, as well, but doing a hard reset cleared it up for me.
Doing a factory wipe requires a SBF/RSD right? If it does I have no idea what that means...
If you created a nandroid backup before you flashed the roms, then restoring it should help. You could also do a hard reset or flash maderstock (the zip should be around the forums somewhere). Before you flash anything, you should do a wipe data/factory reset through clockwork. If you don't, you will likely have some problems.

I tried restoring the stock battery icon using ACS 1.1 and my phone got stuck in an endless reboot cycle. I kind of started freaking out as my phone had been acting flawlessly prior to this and I was scared of corrupting my data. I had a recent restore point saved (I have MyBackup make one every morning while I'm sleeping) but that would mean I'd have to wipe my phone and after everyone complaining about how hard it is for them getting ACS 1.1 to work on there phone I was scared to test my luck a second time. I thought the only other option would be a battery pull which would lead to bad data with bad backups. So instead of following one of those two options I three finger rebooted out of the loop and immediately three finger booted into CWM. I wiped only my cache and dalvik and then reflashed 1.1 over the existing one. I then rebooted and the only things I had to do were reflash my Vision kernel and delete a few apps that I did not want that come with the ACS rom that got reinstalled. I assume none of my data got corrupted and I know this probably won't save everybody from corrupted data due to endless reboots but just thought I'd share my method. So far everything has been running just as good as ever.
My issue is this -- my phone will be running fine for days, even weeks, and will then spontaneously reboot. The phone will then get stuck on the Android "Starting Applications" step and never get any further. I've attempted to wipe cache and Dalvik, and even gone so far as to re-flash the ROM I happen to be running at the time.
This has happened to me at least a half dozen times, and it's starting to frustrate me. I've had this issue with at least 4 different ROMS, including CM 10.1, PA, AOKP, and at least one mixed feature ROM. The only solution I've found at this point is to do a factory reset and system wipe and start from scratch.
Any suggestions on what I might try next time? I'm really at a loss.
dont wipe or clear data after you flash a rom. flash rom and if it installs correctly then clear the cache and thats it. then let it reboot
i used to get stuck in that same screen, but thats because i was clearing data after i had flashed a rom. hopefully that helps
Had this issue. Do a stock flash with the toolkit
Sent from my Nexus 4 @1.67 GHz on Stock 4.2.2
go to recovery, do a factory data reset.
I used TWRP to factory reset after wiping both delivk and regular cache about three times a piece. Is it bad that when I did the factory reset it only took literally 10 seconds? Granted I didn't have any content on it just apps but when flashing the Clean Rom 1.1 it took about ten minutes.
I think my "factory reset" took 2-3 minutes or something. Installing the ROM took a long time too. It shouldnt be really bad though, since you are moving from stock to a de-bloated stock ROM. There arent even really any crazy mods in the "stock base" for this ROM or anything like that yet. So even if something didnt wipe well it isnt like it should cause huge problems with this small change. If you were going from one person's AOSP build to LG base then that would be a whole different story, or even one person's AOSP base to another person's AOSP, even those can have big system changes. But stock to basically stock with the exact same kernel? Shouldn't be an issue if it didnt wipe well.
I was just a little nervous. I factory reset it twice because it was so quick. Still took only a couple seconds but all else fails and I do have issues I'll just do it over.

IDK, its been almost a couple weeks now since I did a reset, maybe it wasnt the factory reset that took a while. I always do a factory reset and go into advanced and wipe cache, dalvik, and system too. I know at least one of them took a long time, maybe whatever it was is not included in what the factory reset does.
Ended up "solving" this by doing a stock restore via Odin, after which TouchWiz would never load an icon (crash loop). Reinstalled TWRP via Odin, then flashed ViSiON X N3 via TWRP.

Morning guys,
I've had some reboots lately and a weird situation last week where I had to do operating system surgery to get the thing to boot at all.... HOWEVER things were going quite well for some time, and it's been rooted and non-stock for months.
Nevertheless I woke up this morning and it was off, I figured the battery had died so I swapped batteries... It boots, it gets to the launcher and it loads the app icons then freezes and reboots... over and over again.
edit: to be clear, as soon as the slider bar touches the right-hand side the phone freezes, the vibration holds for several seconds, and then the device reboots. obviously not what one expects from this operation (having done it before). I was able to wipe the Cache separately... trying to wipe the Dalvik cache all by itself in an advanced wipe does this reboot thing.
OK I said, i will just clear and reflash this.
Going into TWRP, attempting to do a factory reset wipe just freezes, buzzes, and reboots immediately (to the not working OS)... in order to make this all stop I pull the battery, because now the button on the side won't seem to do a hardware poweroff for anything. Just ends up resetting the current reboot.

Any advice would be helpful now. I was just going to say forget it and grab the tiniest ROM i could find and ride it out until I upgrade the device, but now I'm just concerned with getting it active. The rebooting in recovery when trying to do a wipe does not make me feel too great. First and only problem I've had with android roms.
Thanks,
Chris
Hello. I have a recurring issue with a 6P I bought for my daughter. Twice her screen has stopped responding to taps or presses. The problem persists even after a factory reset. The first time, I fixed it by wiping the cache partition in stock recovery after the factory reset (I know, makes no sense, since the cache partition gets wiped during a factory reset). The second time it happened, I had to factory reset and wipe the cache independently 2-3 times, and luckily it started working again. I'm not sure whether the resets or wiping the cache did anything, or if just restarting the phone multiple times is what fixed it. Either way, I don't want to buy another phone for her if I can figure out what's happening with this one.
Her phone is a Google Nexus 6P, stock everything. Unrooted & locked.
Note: After happening the first time, and finally getting it to respond, I set her phone up from a cloud backup. This time, I set it up as new. I really don't see how it would matter, as the problem persisted after a reset, before setting up the phone again. I guess I'm leaning on multiple reboots solving the problem, but just don't know.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
