[Q] SyNthetic_aospX MR1-funny thing just happened - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Should I reflash kernal or ROM or what?
At 11pm tonite my screen turned on by itself, it read 7:09pm with 51% battery. When I picked it up to check it the screen was locked up, after 5minutes of letting it sit screen still on did a battery pull. When I turned it back on is when I noticed it wasn't 7 o'clock but 11 showing 41% battery. This is the first time my phone has done this. Have gotten the upside down lock sreen from wake up, and a little hesitation when it rights itself but never this. Not sure if it is my phone or what, but decided to post this info incase it has happened to someody else.
SyNthetic_aospX 1.0.0-MR1 with patched kernal
good screen
"bad" eMMC chip
min freq=268
max freq=1036
gov=smartassV2 switched to this after patch of kernal from interactiveX
recov= 4ext
Going to stick wih this ROM, as my phone has isssues with ICS roms after about a week, this one has broken three weeks smooth as butter(fingers crossed).

Has it happened again since? If it has try and study your phone's behaviour whenever it happens (does it only happen when plugged in? and so on). Once you manage to get an idea of what actions cause it to happen, start up a logcat and replicate it and send it here. Also, if you've restored anything, downloaded a ton of apps, etc. try a clean install (w/ no restores, minimal apps, and so on) and see if it continues. I don't like to just leave things as "it's a hardware issue" because sometimes it can be difficult to tell.

Hasn't touched the phone for several hours, been on computer, when the incident happened. Had installed a flashlight app earlier in the day, TeslaLED. Also installed Google now M6 offline earlier in the week. Will keep an extra eye open to provide you with any info I can. No TB restore done between BR7 and MR1, as update was done OTA automatically with just ok'ing a cache wipe. The update went smooth, to me, from notification to download to flash and reboot on its own.

Well it happened again, this time it didn't wait four hours before screen turn on and freeze, this time was about 15 minutes. Again was not doing anything with phone it was just siting there screen off. This time I have reflashed ROM to get back to original mint choc kernal, and will not reflash google now this time. How long can I run a logcat for? can it run for the day during normal use

Whoops I meant I'll need a last_kmsg from after you pull the battery. That will tell me the last thing that happened before the battery pull. The op in my thread has a link that shows you how.

Been two days now, everything running as should, smooth. Reflashed Rom to get back to unpatched kernel, and did not reinstall gNOW. Later will install your patched kernel and keep an eye on it. Still getting the occasional inverted lockscreen, but that is no big deal, as this is the most stable ICS Rom that has run on my phone. All other ics Roms have barely made it past a week, cept Awesome's vanilla ics which hit the two week mark before giving me "unfortunately so an so has stopped working" and would cascade from there with errors. Will post up another logcat and kmsg log for you on the invert screen when I make happen again.

A freeze up while using XDA app and following a link into Maxthon browser. Touched link in XDA auto launched browser then froze, let it sit there for a minute as back button did not kill app. Then phone rebooted itself, so found last_kmsg and saved it=http://db.tt/767lXrNH

Had just updated BeWeather pro and as weather icon was not showing in widget I did a force close to restart app, which I shouldn't of done, the phone froze. after couple of minutes pulled battery.
Had already flashed your overlay for the kernel. I am really thinking having the "bad eMMC" is causing me these issues, hardware issue.

BeWeather was spamming that last logcat you gave me. That might be a part of the problem.

That thought popped into my head, don't know what the logcat was saying but seeing that much from BeWeather didn't look right. Thank you again for t the work you have put into this Rom.

Self wake and freeze happen again, checked for last_kmsg there wasn't one, just last radio. Removed BeWeather widget, and unchecked auto update in the app this morning. I installed the kernel overlay last night, two days without overlay since reflash. Going to leave phone as is for now and run kernel log to see if it happens again.

Okay. Now bear with me on this one. Because it may seem odd... but try getting a new sim card (it's free) and see if it works. I noticed your logs were different but both had to do with ARM9 crashing due to WCDMA (both times with varying feedback after ARM9 crashing, but both keeping WCDMA common in the kmsg). I looked it up and came across THIS in the cyanogenmod forums. It worked for both of these guys and the other dude basically flipped out on the other because he thought he was dumb, but it worked and ended up looking like a jerk lol.

Another log= http://db.tt/0dfJ4nYJ
Thank you very much for even bothering with my issues. Not to long after my last post the phone froze with screen off and did battery pull. Was able get another last log. I have done a format of everything and reflashed. Installed a few apps and did not do titanium restore. Going to look into getting new sim. Again I thank you and bow to your superior intellect:beer:

[Q] Phone Shuts Down Randomly

My phone will randomly shut down and will not power back on unless I pull the battery, I have 2 batteries and it happens with either one. It does not shut down while on charger/dock. I have wiped the phone multiple times with odin, I've used several different roms/kernals,same results every time. Just curious if anyone else has been experiencing this issue.
I've been experiencing this after I went to eb13 with the custom kernels that are out. But my.phone will either lockup and I have yo pull the battery or it will reboot itself. Never had what happens to u yet.

This has been happening multiple times a day to me. Completely at random. its beginning to become unbearable. My phone will lock up like this about 8-20 times in a day. Someone save meee! hahaha

Permanent sleep
I may have experienced a similar problem, running a DK28 based kernel with both Quantum 2.5 & 2.7 ROM's.
When the phone sleeps and you're not able to wake it, do the 4 buttons at the bottom of the screen still light up? If they do then I have had the same issue. I could only narrow it down to restoring apps+data or putting the phone in sleep while an app is running. Once it was the result of putting the phone in sleep after a FC.
I can only posit that it MAY be an ext4-only ROM related issue, considering I did not have the above situation occur with rfs ROM's or rfs/ext4 dual ROM's. In addition this was only limited to DK28 for me. I was off DI18 <16hrs after I bought the phone. The DK28 gps issue was a non-factor as well, occurred whether gps worked or not.
before updating to 2.2 - I did the DK28 and now the EB13 one - with 2.1 I would have my phone randomly reboot - I would be sitting there and here the music it makes when it starts up but I never turned it off?
other times it would just be turned off, but when I turn it back on the abttery is not low enough to cause it to turn off
all this went away with DK28 2.2 and hasnet happened since I installed EB13 2.2
This happeed to me the other morning. I wasn't able to boot until I reflashed the kernel. Twilight frozen btw.

My first epic would randomly hard power off, even running stock ROMs. If you are running a stock ROM and seeing a hard power off at random, I suggest you go swap the phone. It's just broken.
Ive never had this problem and im on my first and only epic and ive had it since it came out,
Ive been very careful with my epic as it has been great to me, it hates me probaly tho for feeding it stuff while experimenting things that make it spit up FCS,
But my phone has been always working perfect, all the way back to d118.

the buttons don't stay lit, i'm using twilight kernal right now but was happening with genocide kernal too, going back to eclair just to eliminate 2.2, ext4, etc.. to see if it's a hardware issue
First try
dk18 update.zip flash
Restored apps and data with my backup pro root
Random reboots, FC
Second try
Odin to dk18
Wipe x3
Restored apps and data with mybackup pro root
FC, music player force closing (doubletwist, stock and musicmod, poweramp worked though?), fc when trying to change ringtone or notification.
Started reading about others with the same issues and thought data backups were a reoccuring theme. Did a third try tonight and so far so good. Music players working, no force closings, keyboards working correctly, gps lock indoors. Its still early, problems might still popup, thought id share...
Latest froyotempt
Fresh backup with mybackup pro root
Wipe x3
odin eb13 prerooted (ctsy xda forum) same file from attempt 2. Did this x3 as well, read it in a thread somewhere...
backup apps only with mybackup pro root
All attempts were with genocide kernal.
So far so good, none of the previous bugs are apparent, so far... Those of you that are on the fence regarding doing the same, so far its worth the time.

I was thinking back-ups were part of the problem also, so I used odin and started all over from dl18 without restoring any data, same problem still occured
Still messing with my phone, everything that was broken seems to be fixed. Hopefully it stays this way...

That used to happened to me on eclair when I set my setcpu profiles too low when screen off. You wouldn't happen to be using setcpu would you?
actually I am, I have my minimum down to 200 MHz, going to raise it and see if that helps
@400 MHz did it again, trying 800
I'll add to this thread. I seem to be having the same problem and I believe it started when I installed quantum rom... but I'm not sure. The symptoms i had were random reboots, where the screen would shut off and the 4 lights would stay on. Then I would have the sound of lost signal as if my phone rebooted and was starting over. Also, the most recent problem I get is my phone completely shuts off and I need to battery pull to get it to start up, and it loops on the splash screen of my rom. I have tried doing a complete odin wipe and not restoring anything and I believe it is still happening...

Any update?
Also, make sure the governor isn't "powersave". If you have 100-400MHz powersave governor, it still ONLY runs at the lowest speed (100MHz), even if it's 100-400MHz.
Still happening, not on powersave, doesn't matter what settings I have in set cpu. Did a hard reset back to 2.1 and it still happens, bringing it in for repair.

[Q] RoyalGinger 1.3 Issues......

Well it seems as a new member I can't post in the Dev section yet, so I guess I will post it here:
I have been having issues much like others with this rom locking the phone completely up. Most of the time, when I wake the phone the screen is upside down and has graphic artifacts on the screen. This of course causes me to have to pull the battery. Once the phone comes back up, I can literally hit the power button on/off about 10-12 times and it happens again. I have reinstalled the rom and followed the instructions for flashing the ROM 31 times (i keep a journal of it). I am still having the same issue. I have tried Faux's LV and the SV version of his kernal and have even gone back 3 previous version (tried both versions so, 8 kernals in all) and still have the same issue. Now a buddy of mine suggested turning the "screen animations" off, and since I have done that I haven't had the phone lock up on me anymore, however the lockscreen does occasionally flip 180 degrees, but simply hitting the power button off then on and it is ok.
That seems to be my only issue with the rom. I really wanted to post in the dev section, but I guess I have to get my post count up before I can help contribute to the thread.
Thanks again TeamRoyal for another AMAZING release, and I also appreciate you folks assisting us with our minor issues. Keep up the good work, and thanks again for your folks assistance.

That's strange did you do a full wipe and format sd card along with boot and system and followed there instructions about not touching it on first boot and all. I did that and had no issues. I'm running RC2 because I just like it more and have no issues so thats something else you can look into
I've had the exact same issue when using RC2 with faux's kernel. I've tried the LV and SV versions and still had the same problem.
Finally I gave up and just reinstalled RC2 without faux's kernel and I have not had any issues.

Yea I have wiped and formated everything. The install I am now on I actually waited a full 30 mins instead of recommended 5 min.Nothing against teamroyal as I have mad respect for what they do, but RoyalGinger has made me a pro at installing it
So far no kernal crashes, which has given me a perma-grin. I'm gonna flash back to the latest LV version of faux kernel (the one that came with it). I'm sure it will be fine as I think the whole problem has to do with the screen off animation. I'll report back with my results.
Update:
It is the screen off animation that is causing my issue. I have flashed the latest kernel and everytime I have the off animation on, it locks. On screen animation works when on by itself, but turn the off animation on, power on and off a couple of times, and it will crash. I'll try to grab the logs and submit them.
Well seems everytime usb debugging is on it simply won't crash, and I can't get emulator to record when the phone crashes. Sorry I can't get a logcat
Same here on my wife's phone. Had to restore a 2.3.2 nandroid because both (CM7 rc2 and RG 1.3) were freezing on wake. Dunno what the cause is because on my mytouch RG 1.3 runs fine since it dropped......
If u read thru the post for Royalginger 1.3 it says that the best kernel for the rom is the kernel that it comes with... it also says u will get best/smoothest response with it set at smartass... I'm not sure if its changed since I've read but give it a try...
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
So the good news is I was able to get a logcat. I didn't realize that when the phone completely freezes (power on/off does nothing) you can still dump the logcat, hooooray for me. So here is my logcat file, and for the record this ONLY happens when I have the off and on screen animations enabled in the "CyanogenMod settings", with them off I can power on and off without the phone crashing.
[ROM] - RoyalGinger 1.3
[Kernel] - version 2.1.0 Low Voltage
[CPU Frequency] 245~1113
[Governor] Smartass
[Theme] - Honeybread (CM7 honeycomb theme)
[Live Wallpaper] - None
Update:
I did what was instructed in the dev section for flashing the latest Faux Kernel (2.1.2.1). I wiped the cache and delvikcache. I then fixed permissions and installed the kernel. Once the phone got to the lock screen, I waited 15 minutes for the kernel to "settle", immediately rebooted and let it sit for another 15 minutes.
Once that was I done, I enabled both the on and off screen animations, and after power on and off about 20 times, it crashed the phone again. So I am still having the same issue. Also as a heads up, I tried different themes just incase it was the theme, but that made no difference. So I reverted back to screen on/off animations as all off, and still no lockups. I have attached another logcat file, just incase there is some new data in it.
On another note, there simply isn't any last_kmsg file, so I'm sorry I can get you folks the file. It isn't on the phone when it crashes or even when the phone works correctly.
Have you done anything with spare parts?
Nope I haven't touched Spare Parts. I'm really trying to get this issue resolved before I setup anything on the phone. Maybe the 1.3.1 release will resolve the issue, but time will tell.

gitm - 1.3.1 should be out by tonight, barring anything weird coming up last minute in testing
and this has the new 2.1.2.1 faux kernel built in but if you want to try in the mean time - go to his thread and flash that kernel (wipe both caches and fix permissions, then flash kernel, then settle for 5 mins on initial boot, reboot, settle another 5 min, then go)
can't remember, are you using stock launcher or a 3rd party?
Using launcher pro.
As for the new kernel, it is still causing the same issue. In my logcats, it says "cpu pegged", and that is pretty odd. Hopefully 1.3.1 will fix it, but I will keep testing and keep you posted

(SOD) blank screen on EC05

Is anyone getting the Screen of Death.. (or whatever its being called).. on EC05??
im on EB13 and I have to pull my battery out at least 8 to 10 times a day because the screen wont come back on...
is anyone getting this on EC05 or has the issue been fixed??
Sounds like you need to Odin.

I got that on EB as well. It's weird because it didn't start as soon as I flashed it. It was maybe about a week later when it started doing that. When it happened to me my phone would vibrate sporadically and then the screen would finally go "black" or turn off. The odd thing is the bottom four buttons would stay lit. I would have to pull the battery. It started happening more and more frequently. I've since flashed to EC and am rooted but that's it. I've been flashing back and forth between different set ups, so I haven't been on this current set up for more than 2 days. I did however have the same problem today at lunch. I had to pull the battery to get it to reset. I was playing a video I recorded on my phone before the screen went black. I don't know if it was media related. I will play some more videos and see if it does it again.

I Odined a fresh EB a couple of times and it would eventually come back. Not sure if it was a program I was using that triggered it on EB. I don't know if it might be a media issue. I use my camera and video pretty frequently, so that's the only thing I can think of at this point. It's the only thing I really use, even on EC, on a regular basis except my XDA app. I hope it's not that!...

I haven't with EC, but I did with EB and I still had those problems. Today was the first day that it's happened to me. I've only been on this set up for the last couple of days, because I flashed a couple of things and hoping that I would have better luck with stock. I will try re-formatting when I get home. I tried playing a coulpe of videos (the same ones as before) to see if I could replicate the problem, but haven't been able to yet. Hopefully that was just a situation to where the phone just needed to reboot....

!!! Y E S !!!
It happened to me four times today!
Does anyone know a way to get logs to continuously write to disk? Otherwise I have no idea how to troubleshoot this.
I'm running, midNIGHT EC05 with minimal apps installed. I use SetCPU, and I've just changed the settings. I'm thinking this may have started after trying to use 100MHz and "startass" setting. My profiles are now set to 200Mhz minimum and "ondemand." I'll let you know how that goes.
Having to use my old BlackBerry Bold as an alarm clock now, just in case!
EDIT: I did not format SD with this install but have formatted less than 2 weeks ago.
Happened again after setCPU settings were changed.
That happened to me but what's weird isnit only happened when I was on di18 kept having to pull the battery and once I updated to eb13 it all stopped

No Beautiful Widgets here.
I am running Go Launcher, which is new to me. Will likely eliminate that tomorrow. Oh yeah, the only other widget new to me is "Android System Info" (which is great, btw).
I run Pure Grid calendar and Sense Analog Clock widgets, but I've been running those without trouble for months.
Does anyone know how to change logging levels?
The only rom I was able to use without the SOD was myfrankenstein DK28. While on
EB13 it did it contstanly and much hasnt changed while running EC05. I formatted my sd card and only installed minimal apps. I tried not restoring from Titanium or Astro. Fresh install from market and it still happens. I've stopped using SetCPU, that didnt help either. I do have Beautiful widgets running on my home screen, but I aslo had that while running DK28. I have no idea what the problem is. It is a complete pain having to check my phone every couple of mins to make sure that its still on. Over night forget about it, every morning the phone is dead. Can anybody help me please.
I just Odin to EC05 last night.. and installed the new syndicate frozen rom... and my screen just went blank today.. so far it has done it twice in less then 5 minutes....
but I have noticed that if the phone is plugged into the charger that it wont do it.. no matter how long goes past.. thats the only way I know my alarm is gonna go off in the morning.. is to have it plugged in..
do anyone know if its doing it on plain Stock untouched modem and stock rom??
because if not imma flash over to that.. I cant take this crap too much longer..
I have had this so called SOD for almost 3-4 months and as a matter of fact I just ordered a replacement 10 minutes ago. My SOD involves the phone either rebooting or completely going black except for the bottom cap buttons, then vibrating in order once, then 3 times, then once, and so on until a battery pull. This has happened on the charger as well for some roms. I can tell you it does it on a stock rom. I just did a full reset, stock eb13, updated to ec05 OTA, wiped sdcard and everything except contacts. The problem exists, so I am almost 100% that it is a hardware flaw somewhere. I even did the ##786# reset. I'll let you know if a new phone fixes the issue :]
damn.. even on the stock rom huh???
well do anyone know if it might have something to do with rather journaling is on or off??
other wise.. i have not a clue of what could be causing it..
I have EC stock rom, but am rooted. It happens to my phone. It doesn't happen quite that often like you guys, but it happens maybe about once a day. It happened more frequently when I was on EB. It would happen at least 5 or 6 times a day. It's strange cause it never happened right when I flashed EB or EC. I was fine for a couple of days before it happened. Not sure why....?
I had to pull the battery 20 or more times today, same issue. Mine started doing it right after I added the news and weather widget to the homescreen. If it does it tonight im thinking of takin it back to stock and getting a replacement.
EB13 btw, flashed EC05 a few minutes ago and will try it out.

I had about six today. I'm flashing stock and running untouched starting tomorrow. If that doesn't fix it, it's replacement time for me too.
Sad, because a stress test on my phone at 1.4ghz ran fine.
Btw, I still use set cpu, but only in known safe configurations, no OC.
I just received my replacement. Brand new phone, I installed a formatted sdcard and synced contacts... within 10 minutes it seemed to be happening again. The phone was stock di18, then it updated to stock EB05... I have no idea what the problem could be now, since this phone is brand new.

[Info][WIP] LET's FIGURE OUT the sleep of Death!!!! [NOT A ROM]

Does anyone have a logcat from their dead transformer, during/around the time when it died?
Has anyone noticed any trends in when it happens? I saw something about 82% battery but I think that's just a coincidence.
Please post here so we can get to the bottom of this.

I think this is dev, unless it's a hardware issue. But hopefully we'll be able to discern that.
I have had multiple sleep of death issues after rooting. When I flashed back to the stock Blob, they stopped. Every time I root to Blob V5 (I am on the most recent firmware), they come back. I tried MoDaCo's Rom - they still occurred. Trying Prime's Rom now - so far it's working without any sleep of deaths.
I was on MoDaCo's Hr4 for a few days and never had a sleep of death. Since installing Prime 1.2 I've had 3 or 4.
Since we've had completely opposite experiences I think we can safely rule out that this issue is ROM related.
I've used both those roms and never had a sleep of death. But I also used the root method without the v5 blob, just the standard GingerbreakBB.
I've had one sleep of death incident, using unrooted stock Transformer configuration.
mine case: downgrade back to 8.2.2.6 using SD method (EP101_SDUPDATE.zip) then Gigerbreakbb then the BLOBV5 => lots of SOD issue.
May be we must update to the latest 8.2.3.9 before break using gingerbreakbb and install BLOBV5?

Blob 5 is made to work with 8.2.3.9... It will most definitely have issues with the old firmware.
I am beginning to think the issue is with one of my apps and its settings. When I am rooted, I use Titanium Backup to restore my data and maybe the reason for the SOD is because something in an application isn't playing nice with Honeycomb... Obviously when I am not rooted, I cannot restore the settings and thus no SOD.
I just flashed back to root with Blob V5. Going to see if there are any SOD issues before installing apps... Will probably install one by one to try to see if I can find the problem - A PITA, but I really want the SOD to stop.
Had it with latest asus Update, no root and 40% brightness + wifi sleeps while screen is off. Lockscreen was enabled.

Edit:
Had another one after changing wifi sleep policy. I think it is wifi related.

Other threads are pointing to the WiFi scanning be enabled. I have flashed back to MoDaCo Hr4 (because it was more stable for me than Prime 1.2) and also disabled WiFi notifications and will report back if/when I get a SOD.
Unrooted, getting about one or two of these a day depending...... seems to happen more if I've left it sleeping for an hour or more.

this could relate to wifi scanning as well. were you connected, and what are your current settings?
Thanks for participating everyone, so far there isn't a conclusive answer.
However, could someone install log collector from the market, and leave it there until the BlackSOD happens, and then upload the file? that would be super awesome. preferably someone who gets them all the time. if the last thing in the logcat is consistently wifi-related, then we're on to something.
is there any firmware version on which NOBODY has EVER had a BlackSOD? This could be worth looking in to as well.
Well, I rerooted and have installed about 80% of my apps. So far no SOD. I have a few more apps to install and I usually freeze some of the unwanted apps. Will post an update later. Also, I read on other forums that fancy widget caused issues like this on other tablets. I had been using beautiful widgets I wonder if the way that tries to access wifi causes issues.
The apps I have yet to install are:
Watchdog lite, beautiful widgets, adfree android

Just had one while wifi was disabled! I guess that makes it less likely that wifi causes the problem.
Next time I will upload a logfile!

I've had 2 so far, both with Hr4 and blob v5. Battery has been at different levels, so I think thats a coincidence.
Has anyone tested on a 100% Factory reset device (either with a custom or stock ROM?) That should help rule out any apps which may cause the problem.
FWIW, never had this issue (have run Stock, HR1 -> HR4 & Prime V1.2)
so far no SOD after a clean tstart
Had a SOD this morning on Hr4 so I will run Log Collector today and hope to catch another. I'm assuming that Log Collector is continually writing to my Gmail draft so it should be there after the full reboot? Doesn't seem like it will let me mirror logcat to a file on sdcard...

I realize this isn't the least bit helpful, but after having several SoD issues, and trying all the fixes (and then undoing them), I haven't had the issue for a week now. Mine would do it sporadically -- it would happen once in a day, and then 3 times in a day -- and the only thing I've left changed is disabling the lock screen, but I think that's just coincidence. This will be a hard one for Asus to nail down.
Hopefully someone produces a helpful log for Asus, I'm sure some non-XDA people may think they have a dead tablet rather than one they have to force power down and reboot.
had my firs SOD today.
running prime 1.2 US. battery at 96%. wifi on.

So it does not seem that this app will work because it only collects logs in real-time, does not store them for later analyzing. What else can I use other than leaving adb logcat running?

[Q] ] Nexus 4 restrarting several times in a day

Now it started to annoy me. I have francos kernel and Pa. Also installed the touch screen mod.
My nexus is restrarting sometimes not responding many times in a day. Restarting happens after installing an app, while playing a game, while browsing... I cant tell an exact thing. And sometimes after locking the screen it doesnt respond and reboots with holding lock button after a few seconds. Installed antivirus and nothing found. Havent tried factory reset.
Also i broke my front screen 3 months ago sent to lg and they send me my phone with new screen.
If you look your screen carefully under light you can see small circles. Mine is now different. Any ideas?
Are you undervolting too much? Increase it by +25 - +50 and see how it goes.

I don't think LG repairing the screen has to do with the restarts. Maybe you should get a log cat and post it on PA's bug site. I did that and the devs reply pretty quickly. Use Catlog from the app store have it recording and when a crash happens boot up your phone and save the logcat and upload it to PA.
Trying +25 voltage

Did you even have it undervolted to begin with??
I noticed you said that you have the touch screen mod, I'm assuming that you are referring to the older Synaptics driver, E015. I had a random reboot the one time I tried it (unless that was because I was simultaneously doing UV testing). If changing your voltages doesn't fix it, try reverting to the current driver. You can do this by removing the script that you are using to install it after every reboot.
+25 volt and uninstalling the mod didnt help. Restarted again while playing with drum app.

Try going back to stock ROM and kernel with no apps/mods and see if the problem persists, if it does you might need an RMA, if not its a software issue
