I recently got a Touch Dual/Niki and from time to time when being in standby (the screen turned off) it doesn't respond on any button press, nor does it react when trying to call it, I've got it back up and running only by removing the battery, setting it back and then I can turn on the device again.
I haven't really customized anything and the only 3rd party software that I know that have been running at the time are gmail client and/or live messenger
Anyone else experienced the same problems? ..does this seem like some software bug, or is my hardware faulty?
Rom: 1.31.414.02
Rom date: 11/02/07
Radio version: 1.58.16.27
Protocol version: 25.61.30.03H
Operator Saunalahti/Finland
same problem here!
I'd guess hardware, but just to be safe, you should probably do a hard reset and see if that helps. I had a problem with mine where it would lose random amounts of time every once in a while (the clock would be completly wrong) and the screen would become completely unresponsive for over a minute just after I rebooted the phone. At one point, it just decided it didn't want to boot and just got stuck on the WM loading screen, even after multiple hard resets. I replaced the device and the new one works perfectly.
yup, me too.. happened today after i finished a call. i just left the thing alone for a bit & was ok later
ok, just did the hard reset, if it happens again I'll go replace it

same here. at the moment I try to live with that, although it's rather annoying. happens 3 to 4 times a day. no response to touchscreen or buttons, but touching the screen makes the backlight going from dimmed to bright. (you know, after quite a while being idle, it dims and after another while it goes to standby)
about half a minute later it's back and executes some (or all) of the inputs at once.
I use some third party programs and tools, but nothing which diggs deep in the system (except AEButton+). So maybe it's one of them. Also I use scheduled IMAP synchronization, which may also play a part in this.
Any one-fits-all solution is deeply appreciated. (Not very impressive to show a frozen device...)
Cheers,

Ok, it just happened again.. I'll go complain to service.
Same thing here... happens whenever it feels like it. I thought it may have been one of my apps.... particularly Photo Contacts Pro as every now and then that does some strange things, but interesting to know this happens to others as well.
yeah
just happened to me again as well
any solutions?
*bump*
Currently I wonder whether this is a hardware or software issue. So some questions:
did someone flash the problem away?
did someone hard-reset the problem away?
did someone device-replace the problem away?
This would be helpful.
Cheers,
jekk.
Flashed my niki.
I'm getting very regular freeze up's on browsing the internet with a 3G connection. I'm waiting for a new ROM to arrive to determine if the problem is software/hardware (unless both ROM's use the same base Rom )
My old prophet had an easy accesible reset button, unfortunately I have to remove the batterycap now and I have a feeling the mechanisme won't hold for 2 years if I open it every day a couple times.
FWIW, my device is currently sent in for service, I'll report back with the outcome when I eventually get a device back..
Isn't it just brilliant, after a week of "service", they tell me freely translated: "No problem found. Device reset. (Might it be the standby mode from which the device wakes up by pressing the power button?)"
Of course they did not bother to call me to ask for further clarification... Now I'll have to wait until it arrives back at the shop where I sent it in so I can go and send it back..
Oh the joy!
Same freeze problem
Hi guys
I' have same freeze probleme on my niki, i made hard reset without solving nothing.Only solution remove battery and restart.
In my case it always happens while system is in stand by so my phone goes offline and i havent any advice.
Last mornig after a night recharge a foud my niki completely uncharged with red led.I have ordered a new battery hoping the problem may be in my battery.
I had the same problem. Sometimes it wouldn't wake up when I pressed the powerbutton.
Last thursday I flashed my device with Tom Codon's ROM.

I haven't got the problem since
I had never experienced any freezing problems with my niki until yesterday, when I first started using my new 8gb sdhc microsd card. Now it has happened three times! Is it possible that the driver is to blame? We know older devices had some perculiar issues with external storage upon wakeup.
For clarity; I have a 16-key niki from orange using the stock rom and the card is an sandisk class 4.
Let me know if you guys have a similiar setup.

I've just hard reset mine .... now seems stable ... before it was freezing every time I tried to use it.
So now I have no SD installed + no apps.
Before
SD with very few apps
Sprite backup HTC version
Informant previuos version
Flex Mail 2007
Copilot 6
Fsecure from Tmobile customisation
So I am thinking SD compatability may have been my issue ... I only had a 2GB Sandisk Premier. Will try a 1GB later

That's interesting... I am also using a (4gb) micro sd card. Maybe this really is the reason for the freezes. hard resets (2 till now) didn't solve the problem for me and I have not tried flashing a new rom yet. so this goes well with the possibility of a misbehaving driver thing.
As I wrote I only had freeze up's during browsing the www. After reading that there might be a sd-card driver problem I changed all IE temp directories back from the storage card to the device itself and I now can browse uninterrupted. So it seems that there is a slight driver issue.

Changing SD card semed to fix things for me ..... at least for th last few days.
Before I swapped card I had constant problems
Hi
Has anyone experienced that the tablet switches off constantly with out any any specific reason?
I could easily surf or read an email without switching off.. but then i would watch a movie and it switch off instantly or the other way around and its not even shutting down.. it just goes from powered on, to completely switched off.. It does not get hot and it does charge perfectly and the battery level does not drop/discharge radically.. it has never been dropped or manhandled. and it started doing last week
I'm on stock 3.2 PDA:KMP CSC:KMP (XAB), not rooted..
Any ideas, suggestions?
Thanks in advance
I suggest you to discuss your matter from where have you bought the notebook as there might be some problem in hardware

I used to own a Galaxy Tab plus 7.0, which experienced this known problem of random reboot and/or sleep of death. You could google that to find out more.
I've since returned it for a refund. Then I picked up this used P7500 a month ago. It has not experienced not even one reboot. Sure, apps do crash from time to time, but the OS never completely froze.
How long have you owned your unit? If relatively new, I would returned it. If for a while, and only recently you experienced the problem, then I would do a factory wipe, or at least re-trace your steps and uninstall the last few apps. Also, ask yourself whether the problem is already related to certain apps. If so, get rid of those apps.
hi
Did a complete wipe.. so now its close as possible to factory default..
Could it be a battery calibration error? it works plugged in to either pc or wall socket.. works 10min after but then switches of randomly
Thanks for all the help/suggestions so far really appreciate it!
I know some mentioned the option of returning it.. But its bought in the US and im located in Denmark!

A Little History: :silly:
I have been running i9220ZCLP1...known bad kernel since whenever it was first available, April I think. Anyways, acquired that through flashing Rocketrom v5, according to the instructions provided at the time. Everything worked fine, other than contacts crashing and the wlan some times not enabling until reboot...common issues, as far as I've seen on these forums. One thing to note, is that unless the instructions at the time asked for a full wipe after flashing 5 (I'm almost certain they did not), then there has not been a full wipe performed while in this kernel.
The current issue:
The other day my phone froze on me...months after flashing and having used this kernel, waiting for something more solid to come out. After it froze...holding the power button turned it off, but the phone would not boot afterwards...to ics, to recovery, to download mode, nothing.
After some fiddling, I realized that it will charge and once it buzzes and the screen comes on showing a full battery, I can turn the phone on and it will boot...then freeze after getting past unlock screen. Or freeze and go black in download mode...didn't try recovery, wasn't interested in it at the time, but I'd imagine the same.
After removing the battery for a few days, then plugging it in til full charge notification, I was able to get it to boot again, where it froze at the boot screen, but went dark. After one more full charge...oddly, like a minute later, it booted to ICS fine and worked for 24 hours or so.
Now:
With a mind to flashing away from the bad kernel, I restarted the phone tonight from the menu in ics... it booted fine, so I left it plugged in to get a full charge and came back to a phone, screen still on, that shows same battery % as when I left it. And I'm back to where I started with this problem, powered off after holding power button a few seconds and now nothing.
Waiting for a full charge again, to see what happens...I'm guessing/hoping I'll be able to get it to boot again, with some more fiddling...
My question is whether this sounds like it's hardware (battery etc) or software (bad kernel etc) that is causing the problem.
If I can get it into download mode...plugged in, obviously, should I try OdinPC to a safe kernel?
Thoughts would be awesome. :fingers-crossed:

+1 I've read a few people on ICS having charging/battery related issues over time. Worth seeing if it still happens on a gb kernel.

Hmm, but how to get there...GB and all.
So now the vote is software. Any idea why this would happen much much later? No battery issues at all, just suddenly.
Maybe I'll buy a battery.

A little searching would show you DrKentan's guide @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
I just transferred a movie on it two days ago. I have been on a road trip the past week and using a car adapter during that week (2.1 amp) and navigation. and navigation. Yesterday I was staying at someone else's house and kept losing signal in their house a lot and the battery went down fast. I plugged it into the way to charge like I have every night. When I went to bed I checked and it hadn't really charged at all. So I closed the location stuff that had destroyed the battery and went to bed. I woke up in the middle of the night to my phone vibrating from a reboot and it was ridiculously hot. It hadn't charged much. I used it for navigation on the way home and it charged in the car at a pretty normal speed. When I got home it won't connect to my computer.
I can't get adb to work, in the OS or recovery. Doesn't get recognized in the bootloader either. I tried multiple computers. It sometimes shows up as 'unknown device' and I uninstalled it once thinking i could re install it and it never showed up again.
I would go back to stock to try and fix it if I could, but I can't transfer anything to my phone.

Same here. I am still searching for a workaround. I think it is a USB brick.
Download a ROM from XDA onto your phone and boot into recovery from the power button (assuming you have something like CM10.1 installed. I'm sure there are other apps that can boot into recovery also). Then you can wipe/flash from there and start fresh and see if the problem persists. No need for ADB here.

I installed almost every ROM and kernel there is, there's no connection via USB and the battery life is just terrible (around 6 hours until it's completely empty).
Read through some of your posts Ultraschorsch and I'm definitely in the same boat. I have airdroid to transfer files, but it's slow. I'm gonna try to go to the deodexed stock rom and kernel (but still rooted), and hope I get lucky.
I've already gone into recovery and wiped and reflashed in every combination I could think of and that hasn't helped. It's very frustrating.
I seems like it heated up so much that it destroyed the usb chip on it or something, and it wiped the info of what kind of device it's supposed to be or something. It was seriously so hot that I couldn't hold it in my hand (and that's with a case on it).
This is really a pain in the neck since we can't unroot it any more, so no RMA for us, I really hope there will be a solution to this problem. On the HTC Desire it was fixed through CWM but they need to find a workaround before. I am really a little hopeless...
I use dropbox to transfer files on my N4, I think it's faster than airdroid.

Can too! read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34749844&postcount=2
This is what I'm going to do and try to get an RMA tomorrow.
Also, I feel like the only solution would be to open the device. It seems like something actually broke when it overheated when this happened, so it needs to be replaced. whatever IT is.
Dude! If this works I really owe you! I'm going to try this tomorrow! Thanks in advance! :good:
If it works post back here so I (and future people with this problem) know!

Hello all,
This is my first post in here and the reason why I'm here, is that I got the exact problem as mentioned in the opening post.
I've got my N4 last thursday, so 1 week ago. It worked like a charm and since I was busy finding out all the stuff and apps, I hadn't connect it to my PC before the weekend started.
Saturday in the morning I left for a trip and I navigated to the destination, using my car charger. The phone became extremely hot but it was the first time I tried the navigation, so I tought it was 'normal'.
That day and the days after (until today) my battery drained like hell, 6 hours standby with max. 45 minutes of active usage and it is empty.
So I started looking out for a custom ROM to solve it. But I never could connect it properly to my PC. Tried different PC's and different cables. Never a proper connection, only 'usb not recognized' or no connection at all!
Luckily I couldn't connect...because now it's still in the unlocked state as when I got it.
Today I'm going to call the company where I've bought it and ask for an RMA. Only problem is...they imported it from another country since the device isn't for sale in my country (Netherlands).
I'll keep you up to date.
Hi there, here is my problem.
I flashed Havoc V2 latest rom and i experience random reboots or shutdowns, including time reset. Problem is that i am away from PC for a few days and i can't try many things since i don't use an sd card, so full wipe is not an option right now.
Also, i noticed that time and date is reseting to rom's build date and not at a random one. Any ideas what is going wrong and how can i fix it will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Any chance of using OTG +USB stick?
Regarding time : did you try to uncheck automatically time taken from network to a manual setting?

That's not an option right now, but if i find a USB stick i'm gonna give it a try with a different rom.
I'm having the time reset prob when time is set to manual, in network mode seems ok, but reboots/shutdown are still happening.
I was thinking maybe its a modem issue since i never flashed one (maybe there is an updated version that i missed, phone was sitting powered off with an old rr version for a long time) or a kernel issue, but i didn't see any reports on the havoc thread.

It doesn't help you right now but I've tested several Q ROMs and I've found crDroid 6.9 the most stable one.
With Havoc and AOSP I had issues while lineage doesn't offer that many individuality.
Used RR 7 by mobspyguy myself before switching as it got any longer patches.
Gotta admit that mine is only a backup device and I don't use it longer then 5 hours.
If you used the latest firmware before switching to custom ROM there's no newer modem anyhow.
Thanks a lot for the info. I'm gonna flash another rom when i get the chance to see if the problem is rom related and see how it works.
Thanks again

this app will stop the phone going in deep sleep
launch the app Wake Lock PowerManager - set it on partial wakeup (level 4), it's doing it's job pretty well , no big deal on battery consumption
my son has it a 910F and it's still working after 5 months with this app installed
