lots of freezin goin on up in here!

long story short i went from an old GB to an ICS. didn't care too much for it so i went back to this one. loved it but i noticed that when i went to reboot none of the options worked. also then noticed that it would freeze at other times too and the only way to get unstuck was to put it to lock the screen and unlock it.
thinking it was the rom i switched again to this one just a trial and error. well its doing it on this one too. but now i can't even unlock the screen.
unless im missing something, i am doing all this through cwm and doing a data wipe and cache wipe each time.
what else can i try to get everything rectified
edit: and no, my digitizer is not broken as it has worked for well over 2 years as well as when i had the ICS rom up until the past weekend!

But the digitizer can brick from one moment to the other. In my case, i flashed miui and my digitizer was broken after that. Before that all was fine.
What i did to find that out, was to reset the phone completly. What means, back to WM 6.5. It's just an idea to do another trial and error. If it doesn't work in WM 6.5 u're digitizer is nearly to 100% broken.
Sorry for my bad english. May i could help u

thanks for the input, by again my digitizer is fine
it only stops responding when i try and reboot the phone.

hai bro,,,,,,
pls change the rom to gingerbread.....use asop roms i.e. non sense roms for less freezing specially when unlocking screen freeze...currently ics hardware acceraltion under some issue the xda members are working hard to come issues...wait for a stable daily use ics build release..........all ics rom are beta hence no hardware video codecs etc.....dont doubt your screen it works well ,,,my htc is 1.5yrs old it is fine.. dont doubt your digitalizer..it is fine ...only your kernels in rom make this error ..
i personal recommand to go with stable cm7 base builds...for better battery life and stablity...

and how do you go about rebooting the phone do you use the power/end key to bring up the power menu
if so
try downloading quickboot from the play store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ckboot&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
and use it to reboot your phone and see if it freezes

every time i hold the power button in to reboot/turn off it hangs. i can't choose any of the options. if i hit the back arrow it removes the options screen but is still hung. i can hit the power button to black the screen but then i have to wait about 10 seconds to unlock it. if i try right away its still hung. but if i wait the 10 seconds or so it seems to be fine.
i know its not a big deal since i rarely reboot/power off. and now that i have that app it works.

ok so test it out with out touching the power/end key for anything
you can use this program from the market to lock the screen
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEwMiwiY29tLmthdGVjY2Euc2NyZWVub2ZmbG9jayJd
and when unlocking the the phone use your windows key and see if things work a little bettor

thanks kam. i'll try those and report back.

ok full fledged lock up this time. had to yank the battery.
could there be something still lingering on the system even after i did a wipe of the data/cache? im not opposed to reinstalling the rom if theres something else i can run to wipe it further.
also after booting back up it reverted to monday june 18 8:32 am!

Hey, whilst it's great that you're trying to help, this is fundamentally wrong. This is an opinion based question but you're stating this as fact, which is misinformation and could cause confusion. Please choose your wording more carefully as the majority of ICS users DON'T have issues and I find it a tonne more stable than GB. Also overuse of emoticons

Since you say you aren't opposed to reinstalling the ROM, try that. If that doesn't work, try WinMo. I'm inclined to agree with Kameirus here, it sounds like a digitizer issue, and you shouldn't rule it out as a possibility just yet. Installing WinMo should be able to tell you whether or not this is your problem.

well i am on reinstall #2 of this exact rom. like i said since going to ICS a couple weeks ago this is my 4th rom within said 2/3 weeks. even up to the install of ICS i have had zero digitizer problems.
can i install winmo from cwm? if so does anyone have a link so i can give it a whirl?

ok reinstall #3 of that rom. this time it acted like the first time i installed it. the touch screen was responsive when choosing the options for installation.
the only thing i did was flash CWM 150mb instead of the 400mb i think was on there. not sure if that had anything to do with it but at least i would eliminate it.
ok up and running. i won't do any updates and see how it acts.
HA! well that didn't take long where's that winmo rom i can try out LOL!

Provided you have the right ROM for your device type (i.e. a TMOUS) then yes, it would work fine. I find his guides very good actually, much more noob-friendly than some of the ones here on XDA (general statement, not trying to say you're a noob or anything)

Discussion Thread : Cm12 unofficial rom by Grarak

Hi buddies
As Grarak chose to close the thread of his rom and that maybe some of you want to have some more return and exchanges about the way the rom works, discuss about bugs etc, i open this thread, so that we will be able to do what a forum is done for : talk and exchange together.
New version is 12082014, any return?
Testing soon..

Is calling with sim 2 in 2g working Now?
If not how to use it Any tetsters!
Edit :still No sound from sim2
and there is No way to chose network type
and No 3g from sim 2 too

Im on 9-12-14 build....2g sim not working same as official cm11....3g sim is working......

i 've had terrible battery life, and searching on google lead me to a battery misc processus eating battery, problem solved with 5.0.1 by google
do you guys have the same experience, and have heard about a fix incorporation in the new builds? :good:

I had to go all the way back to the 11-20-14 build. I tried updating to the new builds 12-8, 12-9 and 12-10. No data at all on any of these builds.

Flashed the newest build! We're on Lollipop 5.0.1 now This update is supposed to help battery life. We'll see.
The new music app automaticaly force closes, and the DSPmanager was replaced with AudioFX.

thank you guys for these feedbacks.
Foxy, when you say the new music app, you mean the cyanogenmod one? strange, what could have change ?
Audio playback is fixed now ?

I don't know? It's just called "Music" but the icon is like a poorly designed not lollipop looking purple circle. But Apollo is gone so I suppose that's it. And audio playback works, just the app crashes right when I open it.

mhm then i think a change that has broke the app. I m sure Grarak will correct it in the next release

Ok, the ROM was going great for me, then yesterday at work my phone turned off when it was in my pocket. I tried turning it on, it booted, started doing the boot animation and then did that for five minutes before it shut off again. This time it wouldn't turn back on no matter how many times i tried power cycling or booting into bootloader. When I got home I tried charging it and the light wouldn't even come on. So I plugged it into my PC and the phone showed up as qhsusb_bulk. After researching that i found it means the bootloader got wiped somehow. My question is, how could my bootloader be gone, because as far as I know, no one has gotten their device S-OFF.

your device is bricked
seems there is a solution on the web but not working for everybody and for specific devices
i dont know what to advice you...
i dont know if it is rom related, but if it is, i wont flash this !

Yes that's what i figured. Luckily Amazon was nice enough to give me a new phone once I send that one in. I was just trying to figure out how it would even be possible that my bootloader got fried, considering my device was still S-ON.

any one who tried this rom found any bugs ???????? i want to know the bugs and want to know in htc 816 daul the second sim worked or not

I'm on a single sim Virgin Mobile variant here. There are bugs, yes. This is basically an alpha going into beta of lollipop. There is no one else developing anything new for this device so this is our best bet yet. Aside for some minor niggles here and there, this ROM is very workable as a daily driver. I would recommend a backup, and try this one out. I like it a lot. Grarak is quite amazing actually, many thanks owed.

Didn't test it. Haven't spent enough time on Lollipop because of the no data issue.

I've been playing around with the lastest builds, and I'm actually getting LTE to work without modifying anything, I just have to let it sit for a WHILE and it connects and works quite well.
HOWEVER, I have been getting a corrupt data partition issue with some non-google play apks. I assume that since the build are already not stable, adding homemade, root apks that modify data might cause some corruption. I'll keep playing with it and report back any further updates on how this may be happening.

Yah data works...just not good. It has to do with not being able to access APN's.
No one want's to sit "for a WHILE" to open a webpage or read an email.

On the latest build, System UI crashes.

touch to wake doesn't work

Well, dont't know why, but the double tap to "wake" the screen has gone bye bye...and I don't have a clue to solve that. Can someone give me a sugestion?
Thanks

Seeing the same issue on the latest OTA (YOG4PAS7DF, COS12, not rooted, 100% stock. A reboot fixes the issue, but comes back after some time. Guess we just have to live with it until the next update...

Same for me. A reboot is needed to have it back. I really hope COS 13 will be available soon.

Living with this issue for always.. I dont reebot phone, just go settings -> Screen -> Disable T2W and just block phone with power button. Unlock, go settings again and enable T2W, block again and then double tap on screen and phones wake. Always works. I have this issue almost every time someone calls me. I hope this will be fix on COS 13.
Regards from Chile.

Sorry people, forgot to post something. Well, after the reboot, the touch to wake came back and since then hasn't gone away yet, but your posts tell me it's a matter of (some) time . Oh well, I can live with that I guess. Thanks for the feedback people

Galaxy S5 doesn't wake up at home key.

Any solutions? I want to know is it software or hardware problem?

Marshmallow 6.0.1 G900HXXSACQAA/G900HOJP1CPL1/G900HXXU1CPCA
Smart Launcher Pro 3.16.06PX

Waouuuuuuu....
Never seen that before.
Backup, flash new firmware and reboot.
If problem still present, it's a material problem.
Good luck mate

Seems to be a standard problem. I have it too.
Internet forums are full of this problem.
Buy another phone than Samsung.

I've seeb it alot actually. I mean the wake up problem. But noone seems to fix it yet. If anyone did please tell me

Has anyone test this with older Android 5?

The "Weird" Screen in Low Brightness is AMOLED Burn-in due to intensive use, My S5 Have this problem too.

Try changing the HW overlay / Force GPU rendering in developer options, others have said that works for them, it seemed to for me also but only temporarily. I have had to stop using auto brightness.
Device not waking up is very irritating, even double tap the screen to wake has the same problem, doesn't seem to be the buttons themselves. If you have a custom rom or other way to set double pressing the power button to launch the camera it works as a workaround for me.

Thank you for all the answers guys.

SM-910F random reboot/shutdown and time reset

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?

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

or try this
as long as you can (until reboots) - download quickly an app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.wl&hl=en
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
