So I have a rooted defy mini and a few days ago it started randomly rebooting. I first noticed it when I tried to wake the phone from sleep, the capacitive buttons lit up but the display stayed black and after a few seconds the phone rebooted. This has happened a few more times since. But now I also noticed that it reboots without me doing anything. I was watching tv with the phone next to me and I saw the screen light up and the phone rebooted just like that. NOTE: It hasn't rebooted while I'm using it, just when it's inactive

Did you just root the official builds or what? Which Build are you using generally? Did you check your ROMs known limitations? Besides that it could be an Application causing that, especially with root privileges so if you know you're using a known to be stable build you might start writing your tuning/cleaning apps. Btw., did you OC?

Wipe Data/Factory Reset in Stock Recovery and flash the stock SBF using RSD-Lite.
I am using stock 2.3.6. Anyway since I posted it hasn't restarted yet. Don't know what was causing it. Maybe it was just a temporary issue

The touch screen on my DX stops responding several times a day. It very random, it can be during a text, answering a call, etc. If I lock and unlock the screen, its back to normal. Its running the OTA 2.3.340 and is rooted, but this started prior to rooting. The "tech" at VZW said to do a factory reset but I'd rather not have to re-setup everything. Anyone else have this problem and have you found a fix? Any help appreciated. Thanks.
I have this exact same problem
Are you using a rom? It happens to me every once in a while, maybe every other day or so, sometimes twice in a day. I thought it might be the rom I'm using. I'm on liberty but everything else works fine for me so I was just waiting it out till they get version 1.5 released.

No other ROM, it is stock other than rooting and removing a few bloatware packages. It did this before removing any of that though.
My phone just started doing this recently as well. I think a program running in the background might be at fault. I'm still trying to find out which one

Hello all,
Received my a7 a few days ago and was noticing sometimes it wouldn't wake up when it went to standby. The green indicator on the top of the device became solid instead of blinking which I assume means its not in standby anymore, but the screen remains blank. I thought a factory reset would fix the problem, but it didnt. I installed dexters mod last night and it did nothing to fix the problem. Any suggestions? Should I send it back or is there a fix for this?

You can't send back while you have custom ROM. Revert to stock ROM and try to reproduce the problem. Install 2-3 applications and check. Then install a few apps again.
I think it's app fault.

I just installed the new firmware and its doing the same thing, even before installing any apps. Gonna send it back.

Mine did this briefly, I removed power cord, pressed reboot button with paperclip, then went to recovery mode and did factory wipe. I've been good ever since. This did not help until I tried with cord out for entire process.
Hi
I have a rooted stock ROM/Theme MT4G which I noticed last week that it stopped going to sleep. If I set the timeout to 15 seconds (or anything) then right after the timeout is reached the screen sleeps and then within a second immediately comes back on (to the lock screen). It keeps doing that no matter what settings I try. This of course kills the battery life with my screen being nearly 100% of use.
I thought it was related to an app update so I removed nearly everything I could to no avail. Thinking that it was something related to the ROM I decided to try a different ROM. I installed CM7RC2 and low and behold the same problem persisted. I had to disable trackball wake for this problem to go away. I then tried several other ROMs and the problem still remained. I've attempted the various Royal* ROMs and the same problem persisted. Any Sense based ROM was problematic since I had no way of disabling Trackball Wake so I'm now running CM7 (nighties).
The other snag I'm having is that I too have the problematic power button but in my case I have to REALLY press hard to operate the power button which of course is annoying.
Anyone have any suggestions or experience with this sort of problem?
Thanks.
Did you check out the Cyanogen mod 7 in settings ?
I did. That's what I'm running now.what exactly are you suggesting? Thanks.

I have the same exact issue, ive been trying to get some devs to add the disable trackpad wake option in sense roms but so far nothing so right now i use either royalginger or royalmiui im on miui but i really miss sense :/
I had the same thing. I booted into recovery and wiped data and cache and flashed again and everything worked.

I must have done that a bunch of times already but nothing worked except CM7 because I can disable the trackpad wake function. I wish Sense based ROMs allows for disabling the trackpad...that would be greatly appreciated. An even more helpful feature is the ability to remap the buttons.
Is it possible your trackpad is defective? DO you notice other odd behavior that could be related to it?
If your using google voice its the application doing that you can fix this on cm 7 by moving the application to the Sd card.

I believe this is a real hardware issue... It seemed that the optical sensor in the trackpad is broken and it's always sending signal to the kernel telling that it detected activity but in reality nothing was going on, so the kernel can never go into power saving mode.
Sense UI is a CLOSED SOURCE software, there's nothing you can do to patch it.
Since ALL MT4G are still under the 1 year Manufacturer's warranty, you should call T-Mobile/HTC to get it fixed or just get a replacement....
Ok I found a solution for us mt4g owners with the messed up trackpads, you are gonna have to flash virtuous unity rom v. 2.39 and then apply this patch:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28766802/Virtuous/trackpad_disabled.zip
This patch was made by one of the developers of the rom chrisch1974 specially for this issue, so good luck =D
Same problem, but found work-around
My phone (MT4G) has the same issue but I know why it happened. I got caught in the rain and although I had the phone in my pocket, it got wet. Everything works except that. I left in a bag of rice overnight to no avail.
Anyway, when I press the power button to send it to sleep mode, it just comes back to the lock screen. If I let it time out, it goes out but comes right back to the lock screen. Sounds familiar?
What works for me is holding the home button (the one with the sensor) and, while still holding the home button, pressing the power button once. It is then that I let go of the home button.
Works, but sometimes I have to repeat this charade a couple of times before it sticks. Usually have to repeat it when I don't fully press the home button.
Anyway, hopefully this will help someone that is stuck with this phone and is unable to get a replacement.
Have had my nexus 4 for 2-3 weeks and it has shutdown on me 2 times so far. Both occasions the phone was untouched and was shut off without me knowing, how long and when I have no clue but on power up my wallpaper is reset to default. I don't notice anything else besides that being changed. Anyone have a clue to a fix?
What ROM u have? I'm having same issues. I'm using Xylon. I'm bout to flash Franco #28 kernel and see if it helps.
U should try flashing a new kernel too.

bone stock. haven't done anything to it.
I also get something similar. It happens when I lock my screen. Once the screen goes off, it sometimes won't come back on until I restart my phone by holding down the power button till it's off, and then booting it. I'm not sure about my wallpaper changing, but it has happened on every rom I've used. Also, It didn't happen on stock, but I don't think I was even on stock for a week.
This never happened when I had stock...it started happening when I flashed the ROM. Hope Franco's Kernel helps.

this happens to me from time-to-time. It's not a hardware issue, it think it's a glitch with this version of the os.

Well, I called and got an RMA. Seems like a known issue as well as a battery life issue some others seem to be having. Maybe they are connected in some way. Rep said this new batch they are sending out (RMA's) do not have these issues. I hope so...
Put me down as someone having this issue, Happen 3 time now, On stock rooted os.
I read that Google have confirmed there is an issue with the latest OS that can result in random reboots. I think it has to do with location services.
I also read that turning off any options for emergency broadcasts can help with random reboots.
Some widgets that use weather can result in reboots (due to them using location services to get correct weather), and since I disabled all emergency broadcasts and stopped using widgets that show weather, I have not had a random reboot (and I was having at least one every two days before). I am still using widgets that have the ability to show weather, but I just do not show weather and this seems to help.
Random reboots was causing a major battery drain for me and since I stopped getting these reboots, my battery lasts much longer.
I am on stock ROM, rooted.

I have been using my phone for more than 4 months now.
Till now everything was fine, but 2 days I noticed my battery was draining very quickly and yesterday suddenly my phone started freezing while using it. The only way to reboot is by pressing the power button for 10 seconds. I also noticed that it never happens when the phone is charging. I phone is running stock rom. I tried reseting it but still it is freezing. So I wiped the entire phone memory and flashed the stock OS again. But the problem is still there.
Somebody please help me. :crying:

Funny I'm also in the same situation. Recently restored from a backup ( from 301k nexus 4 to my current 303k nexus 4) and lately ive been getting a load of lockscreen sleep and my phone constantly restarting or I'd have to hold power for a few seconds.
Just wondering if maybe i should reflash rom as a whole? ( i already reflashed kernel if anything.)

You could reflash the factory image but first make sure this isn`t caused by a runaway app/widget. Most of these problems are caused by user apps most of the time. Install BetterBatteryStatts and cpu spy for app behaviour and cpu deep sleep.

Earlier when I used to restart my phone, the battery app used to show a huge drop in charge, but now the battery app resets itself and shows that the device was on battery only since the restart.
I am getting frustrated, now whenever my phone is inactive for 10 mins, the phone wont unlock and it crashes

I hope this is what you asked
Another thing I noticed is that the phone works perfectly when it is plugged in and when on battery, it wont hang till battery level reaches 91%-93%, but after that as the battery level drops the crash interval becomes less. When it is around 25-30% the phone sometimes freezes even during restart. Will it be a battery problem?
