Anyone having this problem with wp7?
When i am with a data connection (wifi or 3g) sometimes the phone freezes, and the only way to get responsive is press the button shutdown and unlock again. Its very common...
Any help or guidance?

It seems that a lot of people with the Hermes has the phone crashing/freezing/sleep of death to varying degrees of seriousness. But most of you have solved the issue by offloading programs, etc.
My device from day one has crashed/frozen regularly & still doing so right now.
Upon reading about users with the same problem I assumed it was a piece of software but no matter what apps I had loaded or unloaded the phone would freeze, usually after waking up from sleep mode. Sometimes it wouldn't wake up at all & other times it wakes up only to freeze again.
Right now I've nothing loaded onto the phone just plain hard reset & set up 3G & wifi & even removed the sd card but guess what it still freezes up.
I've noted that 99% of the crashes occur under these circumstances. When wifi is activated & the phone goes into to sleep mode without deactivating wifi, when I try to wake it up it'll freeze & not wake up at all or sometimes it will wake up but then freeze up again.
Maybe you guys can try it. Just activate wifi & let the phone go to sleep. Wake it up & see if it hangs. Please bear in mind though that it doesn't do it everytime.
Another thing I noticed is that when the phone freezes up it also gets very very hot which is a bit worrying.
This one single problem has spoilt what is actually a great device. I'm not sure what to do with it as I got it off ebay sim free. I've tried all the available different rom but no change. I'm beginning to think I might a defective wifi module or some other hardware issue.
This is a ROM problem, wait until newer ROMs come out and they will fix the sleep freeze issue.
This is happening to me too with my Cingular 8525 on the Black Majic Rom with WM6. Very, very frustrating! Maybe there's a program that can automatically turn off the wifi when I accidentally forget to turn it off?
I have Dopod Lite and I have option in Wifi Setting/Powersafe mode, where I can set Auto turn off after few minutes
I had the Standby of Death SOD this is when the phone fails to come out of standby with a power button press. This issue only affects some people on some networks. I'm not sure if its a network problem or a software problem but as only a minority of people have it, I suspect its mainly a network problem there is a software solution.
The solution is to change the phone settings band option from auto 3G/2G to either 3G Only (WCDMA + UTMS 2100 in Europe) or 2G Only (GSM + AUTO) depending on your requirements.
Also read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540943&highlight=standby&page=2where the resolution was to get a new SIM.
Obviously this only solves the problem when the crash is because of the sim and/or settings which impact the sim. To rule out a software cause its best to start with a hard reset.
Does anyone else have a problem with thre htc 6800 going into sleep mode and whenever you try to take it out by pressing power button it will not respond....Has anyone else ran into this problem?

This was a common problem with the Hermes (TyTn). In the end there was not a full proof solution, but it was found that if you DO NOT let it go to sleep by itself but use the on/off button then it crashed much less often. I got into the habit of turning to standby manually as a matter of routine - it does make a difference.
In addition when charging I would always turn the screen ON before connecting the charger and leavie it on while charging. This prevented crashes that seemed to happen when plugging in the charger when in standby , only to find it would not come out of standby without a soft reset.

My WiFi keeps freezing every 2-3 minutes. I mean that I need to disconnect and connect it, otherwise I always get an information that a page cannot be loaded.I have tried wifi lock, wifi fixer etc. but none of them works as it should. Have anyone found a sollution for this annoying issue?
I have the same problem.. Initially wifi fixer seemed to work, but it doesn't really..
I have an experiment for people using PPP to try.
In WinMo, disable all your wireless settings. Turn off WiFi, BlueTooth, and cellular data (phone). Boot up Android (I was using HTCClay's SuperHD v1.3).
Do you still have lock ups requiring you to pull the battery? I put a clean install a few minutes ago. I was getting lock ups in just a minute or two. I disabled all wireless in WinMo, booted, and I've been running for about 15 minutes without a lock up.
I read somewhere else (I read XDA too much to remember where), that someone else was having success with this method.
Edit: Using Chucky Rom and Radio 2.12.
With my combo (in sig) and everything off in WinMo, I don't get screen freezes with ppp. I sometimes get weird hesitations when browsing. This browsing hesitation could be numerous things, DNS lookup issues, server issues, etc.
WiFi works too. My only issue is leaving WiFi on and having my phone go into sleep mode for a few minutes. If my phone hibernates while on WiFi, it takes 15seconds to wake it. However, I can leave the phone on a charger all night with WiFi and I'll never get a freeze.
Thanks, Willgill for the info. Here's something I just posted in the SuperHD thread.
Everything is working wonderfully with this change. No more lock ups needing battery pull. I still get a few screen freezes for a few seconds, but this is due to the G-sensor issue. I can work around it by turning off the G-Sensor in settings, and when they release an updated driver, I won't need to. Also wifi is working fine at the office. On Bangsters, when I would turn off wifi, the entire phone would lock up without exception. With the WinMo changes, I can turn wifi on and off without any issue and it picks up signal with no trouble. Even GPS seems to be working better.
Is it possible when Haret shut down WinMo, something was still left in memory and caused unexpected conflicts and lock ups? I'd love to hear from other people who had PPP locking up on them if this helps their setup at all
Well, I can say that there is a good news and bad news for me.
Thanks to your suggestion I've had two results:
First: using "SuperHD2_v1.3 AXI PPP" I was able to get Data connection, first time with PPP.
Second: I was unable to get Data connection with "mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense 1.7 PPP" not with base kernel not with "oe.netripper.com/files/htcleo_autobuild_evo_tree/zImage-20100913_001101-htcleo".
PS: I think that reason of failure setting Data connection with PPP builds for me is that there is almost no 3G in Moscow and I'm stuck with old/rusty 2G/2.5G GSM/GPRS/EDGE, My thought is that PPP have trouble working with 2G because most of the devs are working in areas with 3G available and simply didn't thought of 2G at all. It wouldn't bother me if not that the evo_kernel is the one which under development currently, not the old nexus_kernel.
And a little update, I am now switched to ★shubCRAFT 1.5★CM6 Final★ thanks to your finding as it appears that only by switching phone module before booting Android is solved the Data connectivity problem with some PPP build.
But that's not all, I've tried shubCRAFT's build before PPP ever was introduced and had to turn out them with only reason that BT in calls wouldn't work, the Phone app just hang it self, but now that is fixed two!
I have a stock unrooted Verizon Galaxy S5. For several months my phone has been plagued by several issues at startup. Whether I reboot the phone or start it up after the battery has died, it always enters an odd state immediately after loading and seems to get stuck in this state for an undetermined and variable amount of time (anywhere from a few seconds or minutes to hours or even overnight).
While in this state, this is what happens:
1. Screen stays on. Once I unlock the phone, the screen stays on. The side button doesn't do anything to lock the phone or turn off the screen. Holding down the button, however, still triggers the power menu. The screen timeout never triggers, even though it should turn off the screen after 2 minutes of inactivity.
2. WiFi and Bluetooth turned off. Even if they were turned on before I powered down the phone, they are not enabled when the phone first boots up. I can manually turn them on but the WiFi will not connect to a network, even if one is available. It may show it is connecting to the network, but it gets stuck at "Checking the quality of your internet connection" and continues to use the 4G network for data connectivity. This happens no matter what WiFi network I am within range of, so it's not an issue with the network or router itself. If I am not near a network at all I will still experience the other problems of not being able to lock the phone, etc.
3. Startup applications don't load. I have Tasker on my phone, but it doesn't load and show it's notification bar icon.
Otherwise, I can use the phone normally and open applications, surf the web, etc. It seems that loading some applications and using the phone eventually causes the phone to exit this mode, but I haven't been able to find a single particular application or series of steps to fix the problem. If I power on the phone and don't use it that just seems to make it take even longer to fix itself.
Once it gets out of it's weird state, the WiFi connection will become active (it will turn on WiFi if I haven't done so manually already) and it will connect to a known network if one is available, the phone will lock itself or I can do so from the side button, and things like Tasker and Power Save mode will turn on.
I am stumped as to what could be causing this problem or how to fix it. It seems the phone may be doing some kind of check, maybe related to Knox, that hangs during startup and prevents certain things from working until it straightens itself out.
Any clues into what this problem is, what is causing it or how I could further analyze this problem and determine its cause would be greatly appreciated.
Never heard of or experienced these issues. May want to contact Samsung.
Have you installed any official updates from Verizon at any point? I've heard of phones having phantom problems like this after receiving a bad update. I would definitely contact Verizon if you did update at any point. If not then like BigBot96 said, contact Samsung about the problem.
My wife's Note 2 did something similar when the battery died. I had to factory reset. Her phone was rooted/unlocked & running a custom TW ROM, though. May I suggest doing a complete factory reset and Odin. Backup data to computer or external sdcard since this will clear the entire device.
Edit: After rereading OP's post it actually sounds like an app is hanging at startup which could cause this behavior. A logcat should tell you what's going on.
