[Q] Have to pull battery every day - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have a "red" lens Defy MB526 running Android 4.1.2. I have installed the Supercharger V6 script and the kick-ass kernalizer. The first 8 hrs or so the phone is fine (although when using the phone keypad all button presses are exaggerated - I just tap the number but the phone thinks I'm holding my finger on the number for a second or so). Every morning the phone just isn't right - typically this is experienced when listening to music and the track is all stuttery and choppy. I try and reboot and it simply hangs with the four soft buttons on the button illuminated. At this stage I pull the battery and restart, after which it's OK again for the day.
I thought the V6 script was meant to resolve this, to me it just seems like a memory leakage issue.
Any ideas ?
Cheers
Gavin

Latest cm10 nightly? If so then it's a known issue; refer to the thread for more information

Power up delay

When i press the power button, there's a 0.5s delay before the screen turns on. Is this normal, or just with mine?
You flashed it with anything or running stock?

Any custom kernels for lagfix / oc?

Nope, just flashed jm2, and rooted, nothing else.
Dunno then, might be normal. Its even worse with the lagfix kernel.

Hmm ok, thanks for you fast reply's!
OMG! are you guys for real!
this is >insert slur here<
a fraction of a second for the screen to turn on from off is normal on any phone device.
....
Don't label me with the same brush as the op. I was trying to ascertain if he had the startup lag from the custom kernel used for the lag fix with samset. I said it was probably normal - I refrained from calling him an impatient fussy so and so. Abuse him all you like, leave me out of it.

How is this normal on any device? as my touch diamond didn't have it, my ****ty nokia 5800 didn't have it, my htc artemis, htc tytn II, do i need to continue?
It's 0.5s-1.5s. But mostly 0.5s, that's why i said that.
If you don't have a solution, just don't post , i flashed jp3 to try it out, and the delay i've got from jm2 is gone. Hmmm, guess the delay wasn't normal after all.
Damn, i feel like i'm on a chatbox with 12-year old's.
And no, i don't mean Bynar010 to be clear.
Hello all.
This wake up lag is killing me, coz its 1.5s most of the time.
I did apply the lag fix kernel, and that was worse at times. So now i simply reflashed it (JM5 now) and removed the SD card.
Is there anything else I gotta to to remove this fix, or re-flashing removes it ok?
Thanks in advance
I am also having this problem. It can be anywhere from half to three seconds . I have just flashed to jm5 and applied the one click internal lag fix. Anyone know what I can do to fix this. Thanks in advance.
Same problem here on JM2 + 1 click lag fix. I previously use JM2 + memocan and not found this problem. Wondering why others with 1 click lag fix didn't realize this since it's very longer (mine's about 3 sec).
3 second is nothing...
just pressing the POST button to this took more than 3 sec
In that case not only this phone sux, but your internet connection isn't much better..
Please just reply if you can help us with this problem. I like the phone, but the power-on delay is just annoying. I use it instead of a watch too. Wouldn't you care if you had to look at least 3 seconds at your watch before you could see the time, EVERY time you looked?
As i said, this is just annoying, other phones i've owned didn't have a delay like this, not even the WM ones.
i don't know about you, but the last WM phone and PalmOS phone i've had took at least 1 sec to display
yes i use my phone as a watch as well, i don't carry a watch with me
Just to throw it out there, mine lags about 0.25 to 0.5 seconds on average. I'm on JM5 without root.
Do you mean lag when you press the power button to unlock your phone, or when you switch on your phone? It's of course normal during switching on the phone. But I also experience a lag when unlocking the phone (~1 second). It only happens when I haven't used the phone for 5 minutes or more. Doesn't happen if I lock it and immediately try to unlock it again. I believe it's the chipset waking up from sleep or something.
@ AllGamer:
The ones i had: HTC: S100, Artemis, Kaiser, Touch Diamond.
They all went on faster. I didn't have the problem at first (with stock firmware), guess it started after my first flash (to jm2), but the problem stays when i flash back to the stock firmware, that's the strange part..
@ ssj4Gogeta1:
I mean the delay when you press the power (or home) button when the phone is already powered on, and it happens everytime, even when i press the power button, wait 5 seconds, and press it again. Nowdays, it's at least 1.5s every time.
Lol, would be great if i meant the power-on time.
the thing is, all phones i've had, will go slower and slower the more apps i install into them
the same applies to SGS.
to keep them fast, i always only install apps that i'm really going to use.
i used to clam every single piece of software i can put my hands on into the phone before, that always lags the phone to death.... although so far the SGS is holding quite well
still testing out a lot of software, but once i'm done i'm going to stream line it with only the stuff i want in it.
Regarding the delay with the Home button, that is not the same as Power button.
See now we understand you better, it does takes a split second after you wake up the phone with the home button.
however anything longer than 1 sec is not quite right, if you have that sort of lag, try optimizing the phone.
recent firmware updates like JH1 or JH2 depending where you are, have made vast improvement on performance
in the worse case scenario you can try the one click lag fix from the Dev section of the forum
are you still on the stock firmware?

[Q] Wake up lag

With every android ROM I've tried so far, I always experience a lag from when I press a button to when the screen switches on.
It's always at least 1 second long, and sometimes much longer.
My question is: 1. Is this normal? 2. Is there any way to stop it?

1. Yes that's completely normal, I have also had this on every ROM
2. No, not that I know of, but some kernels have less lag. For me, michyprima's r11 gave a lot more lag than my current kernel hastarin's r7.6. Now it's barely noticable, with only like half a second between the button press and the actual screen wake up
Hastarins latest kernal is pretty damn nice. Wake lag is minimul

I have the same issue, other keys doesn't work at all. For example, display turns off
- I hold (press doesn't work) the End call key, after couple of seconds the display turns back
- I press any other Key, display is "locked" means I have to wait like 10-30 sec until I can hold End Key to turn the Display back, that's very annoying.
This happens in this Miui builds, like "mccm SE 2.0/2.5 up date version build"
I had before FroyoStone Sense - V3.1 build from DarkStone which didn't had this problem. Didn't try the 3.2 build yet. For me it was a build issue.
I always had this until i used Phiremod Android
Its brilliant! Works like it should.
Go try it! NOW!
I think it also depends on the unit. A friend of mine only got his hd2 last month. We have the same android build, setup, sd, winmo rom, radio...but his hd2 wakes up fast as in fast. It is like it is running native on android. No matter what build he use, it wakes up the same. And his android reaches upto 2 days with moderate use, with me it is 9 hrs only.

[Q] Anyone else having locking/freezing issues with CM 7.1 RC1?

I updated to CM 7.1 RC1 last week and I've noticed a few times where the device has locked up after "going to sleep". Essentially, if I leave it on the coffee table with WiFi on and let the screen turn itself off, it won't respond when I return to it 20-30 minutes later. I have to force reboot via the power button + nook button.
Just curious if anyone else has noticed it or if it's just me. If it's a common issue I'll escalate to the CM folks, if it looks like just me I'll start the long and tedious process of uninstalling apps one by one. =)
I have at least one every day. I figure its just a price I pay. Over all its the best rom I have used.

Only once have I had the issue you described. I leave WiFi on some of the times, but majority of the time I have it off when I am done using it. I know some people have mentioned using Tasker or something similar to turn WiFi off when screen goes off so that it can perhaps be prevented.
EDIT: I don't believe I can link yet on my account, but search General for the post "NC, CM7, Dalingrin OC kernel.. Sleep of Death" and start about post #6.
Thanks bio, that looks like the exact issue I'm experiencing.

That's a pretty generic statement... what did you blacklist within Droid wall to increase battery life / fix the issue?
I'm facing random freezes when I open an application like tweetdeck or mercury and leave it updating from the internet. After some time, I'm not using it, it just stucks. To get it back to life I have to press for a few seconds the power button to shutdown it and then again to power it on. I have used different nightlies, voltages or governors but it is still here.
Now, I don't have freezes since yesterday that I really reduced the voltages but I'm not sure if my problem is solved.
configuration: 144 nightly 300-1100mhz xlv profile
not sure if anyone has told you that what you describes is called:
Sleep of death.
Felt to be possibly related to wifi being on all the time. In wifi settings, go to advanced change it wifi to off when screen off.

I'm sorry. I use the white list feature and only check mark the current application that I want to use and allow to access the internet. It keeps everything else from using background data.
For example right now I selected xda and updated rules.

It seems that I solved it reducing the voltages. When sod occurs a black screen appears right? I never had sod, only random freezes.

Phone switched itself off with plenty of battery life

I've got no real complaints about my phone. But just curious about this. It's happened only about twice, once a few weeks ago, and it happened this morning as well. It was left in standby overnight. I pressed the home button, nothing came on. I thought, "I'm sure there was plenty of battery life left in it last night". So I pressed the power button to boot it, but nothing. Removing the battery and putting it back in allowed it to boot, and the battery was around 54% as I had suspected, I didn't think it would have been dead. So any idea why it would do that?
Some more info plz. What rom and kernel do you use?
I used to have the same problem after having changed several custom roms. I wiped everything formatted sdcard and went back to stock rom.
Then I installed villain rom and everything was fine.

Try reading my sig?
Were you playing music with the stock music app at the time? I believe there is a known bug where your phone switches from 3g to hspa when listening to music using the default app. winamp or other apps should be fine.

Hi mate. Nope, it was just at my phone desktop, no apps running. I then pressed the power button quickly to switch the screen off but not to switch the phone off, put phone down on bedside table and woke up this morning to a dead phone until I did the battery thing,
My story
Lots of posts out there about similar issues.
I saw this and other funnies on my own, uncustomised, SGS2. I tried lots of things: SD card in/out - no difference, sometimes crashed playing music, sometimes didn't. Sometimes rebooted 3 times in one day, once went for 6 days without misbehaving, jammed paper into the side of the battery to cure potential connctivity issue - no cure. Ran diagnostic programs that thrashed the cpu cores and RAM - no problem. In fact, my phone typically misbehaved when it was doing nothing.
Etc, Etc, etc
I originally thought it might be a software problem, but not everybody was seeing it which brought me back to thinking it was a hardware problem.
I returned the phone and the repacement phone has behaved itself for about 2 weeks now. Maybe you have hardware problem?
It was probably something rogue that ran your temps up and it was a thermal shutdown. Gotta pull battery to reset.
I voided my warranty.

[Q] Nexus 4 random shuts down itself

I got nexus 4, and problem is that now and then it shuts down itself... Battery is charging ok, but after working few minutes or hours (no specific time) it just shuts down (idle or working)...
Phone is not rooted, I tried factory reset, and that didn't help either...
Currently it is on 5.0.1, I got it with this version of software so I don't know did this happen earlier on 5.0 or 4.4...
I wanted to do complete root but i'm afraid that it would shutdown itself during the process..
Does anyone knows what can be the problem??
Have you tried flashing the 5.0.1 factory image through fastboot?
Even I am facing the same problem. But for me it does not show shutting down also. It just blanks out at around 40% battery.
Had the exact same problem with my phone until I rooted the phone and changed to a non-stock rom and have not had the problem since.
Hi guys don't know if this helps because mine is slightly different. Mine is reboot itself.
My suspicion is on ram, maybe the device is out ram and then reboot itself, maybe this goes the same to shut down idk (please correct me if I'm wrong). Recently I've put gravity box and I can see how much ram left when I tap the application switcher, it was mind blowing for me. I often find that when you open several application the number of ram available can reach below 500mb (especially chrome tabs, it do have a lot of ram to use) I mean it's a 2 gb ram device wow. Every few days I've checked that when the idle ram is over a gig I do reboot manually. That way my problem of random reboot vanished. Good luck

Screen will not wake from sleep
The device will randomly not wake from a sleep state, and is happening more frequently. I've read that it's possibly linked to a motherboard issue. I have root, TWRP, Xposed. Will flashing a different kernel possibly resolve the issue?
I bought an N4 from eBay and it worked perfectly for months on stock rooted Lollipop. Then it suddenly started to randomly shut down - not reboot, just a sudden buzz and "Power off". I've tried Marshmallow, Chroma, and now Cyanogenmod latest dailies. Plus a new battery (an eBay special, contacts didn't align with screws, but since another suggested fix was to leave the connection screwless that's fine - it seems to hold a charge and works fine).
So my question is - even though the power button seems to be clicky and ok, is it worth trying a new one? I know that it's mainly suggested for random reboots, but maybe it's related?
Or any other bright suggestions? Any help much appreciated.
I bought a new power & volume button and the same "power off" still happens - sometimes immediately on boot, sometimes after a period when it seems to be going ok..
Anyone have any ideas at all which hardware may be responsible? I doubt it's software, since the same happens on all ROMs, rooted or not.
I had the same issue until I reformatted all partitions and installed stock 5.1.1 Now reboots are gone. Looks like my issue was software related. The only change from stock was stability mode from Root Booster

Thanks, Hjicons. I wish I were so lucky...
As I said, different ROMS, root/no root, make no difference. It occasionally runs for a day or so, but as soon as I reboot it's back to immediate "power off".
On the plus side, it's *astonishingly* strong. I treat all my phones with kid gloves - always in a completely empty pocket, no keys or coins, in a plastic bag if there's the slightest threat of rain (even my water-resistant Nexus 6), I set them down gently on surfaces, yadda yadda yadda...
So in frustration, hoping to jar whatever component into proper life, I've banged it hard, very hard, on a mousemat, all four corners, no difference. And last night in a fury of annoyance, to stop myself pointlessly wasting time trying to fix the damn thing, I tried to smash the front glass with a heavy torch and the handle of a big screwdriver, hard enough to bring my wife in from another room to find out what the banging was. Not a scratch, not a crack. Gorilla glass is as strong as they claim it is.
But still not working...
