Frozen with screen on - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

My phone was getting severe lag, so I hit restart. It's been frozen with the screen on for over 6hrs now. Has anyone else had this? How do I prevent it? What can I do right now? I don't understand how my battery isn't dead.
I've tried - holding the power button for an extended period, pressing buttons in different combos, plugging it in, removing the SIM card.
My phone:
No root
No mods
Minimal apps
Tons of memory
Less than 2 months old
I've had random lag and freezes every few days. A reboot always fixes it. Thoughts?

Holding the power button for 45 seconds should shut it off.

I encountered same problem, even No 3rd party APP store's Apps installed, my phone gets latest system and app update.

It's done it 2 more times now.
If you hold the power + vol up + vol down for ten seconds it will reboot. I did a factory reset. This is unacceptable. I'll be attempting to exchange this phone.
Unrelated is that WiFi calling sometimes works, sometimes not. Sometimes it's in the settings, other times not. The known issue with the fingerprint sensor is crap too. Been an Android guy since the beginning. Never been so disappointed I bought a phone.
If anyone else figures what this is from please share.

sounds like you got a dud, I'd return it ASAP for another one. The QA on these is so sketchy.

There is nothing wrong with your phone dude

There is nothing wrong with your phone dude they all do that from time to time. It just happened to me (06/06/2018) a couple minutes ago...... press and hold the volume down and the power button for 10-15 seconds and it will reset the phone to the logo screen and you will be able to login. No need to wait until the battery dies.

Did you install any applications from the market? Is your phone freezing while a certain application is open or does it freeze even on the homescreen? If you have a lot of applications installed try to deinstall and look if it becomes better. If not try a factory reset. If it still freezes than return it for a new one.
Would you mind saying what you were doing when it locks up?
If it's during Music, it doesn't actually lock up, it just shows a black screen for about half a minute. Everything still functions, it just doesn't show.
Two times trying to answer a call the screen would not unlock nothing would work I had to take the battery out and just todayit was sitting on my desk and it would not turn on when I tried to use it
The green message light was on very dim and I had to take the battery out

I have a feeling there is a bad batch of units out there.
Try factory reset and see if it continues to lock up, if it does, return it for another.

Sounds like a broken phone. Try a factory reset (if you return it they anyway ask if you did that) and if that won't help get a new one....

Same thing happened to me yesterday, the light was very dim green and the phone did not respond until I pulled the battery. It hasn't happened again.
I've already had to replace my Atrix for another issue. Right now my confidence in this phone is not very high, but it is brand new. Lots of issues will probably pop up and be fixed via software updates- at least I hope thats the case.
It really feels like all the issues people are having with this phone are software related. Maybe motorolla will just cave and give us gingerbread with no blur
I've had the same problem while playing music...over the past 3 days after about 30 minutes of tunes it'll lock up and after another 5 reset itself...i've done the reset after the second and it still does it...i'm bout to take it back and exchange it...i expect glitches but damn.

I have had the issue happen 2 me twice in 3 days, the last time was when adding the note widget to screen. It was not completely locked up just the touch screen, i could press the power off button but the touch screen would not let me shutdown
something you might want to try if a factory reset doesn't work would be a reinstall from the recovery menu.
power your phone off
hold the down volume key and the power button
release the power button once the phone begins to boot
keep holding the down volume button until you see "fastboot" at the top of the screen
now be careful, the down volume button navigates through the boot options and the up volume selects one
so press the down volume button until you come across "android recovery"
once you see it press the up volume button to select it
once you get to the screen with the exclamation mark tap the bottom right of the touchscreen, this should pop up the recovery menu
select wipe data/factory reset
let the phone do it's thing
good luck
I've seen this resolve some audio codec issues that were causing the phone's mic to not work, dunno if it'll work for your issue but it can't hurt to try.
best of luck

I have found a fix for my lockup issue. If the screen is on and lockup (no touch screen) press the power button 2, turns off the display and turns it back on and everything continues to work fine.

I have the same problem (screen randomly locks up once or twice a day, buttons dead) and have found the above "solution" to work perfectly, also. The problem however is that pressing the power button twice and unlocking the phone is not exactly elegant especially if the screen locks while you are trying to answer an incoming call.
I changed my battery settings to "performance mode" as I read somewhere that that might help. I will let you know if that seems to resolve the issue.
Changing battery setting doesn't seem to do anything. I still get my share of frozen/locked up screens a few times a day. Still have not figured out how to replicate the behavior. It really does seem random.
I've been suffering from this as well, I'm going to try to exchange my phone and see if that helps.
Exchanged my phone today. So far I haven't seen any locked/frozen screen issues. I am relieved. Maybe there are just a few bad units out there.
Also for what it is worth ... the lady at AT&T told me that taking out the battery while the phone is on would fix it. Since I never figured out how to replicate the behavior I couldn't verify that her suggestion would indeed actually fix the problem and demanded an exchange anyways.
atrix does lock up and have glitches
lock up glitch:
While in standby (screen black), it locks up. You obviously don't know when exactly it happens as it's lying around in standby. When you press the powerbutton to wake it up, nothing happens. You can try what you want, long press, several presses, just dead phone. As if the battery losts juice, but 2 times it happened and the battery was above 50%.
Tired to connect the charger while in that lock-up state. Nothing happens The notification light remains black as well.
The 2nd time this happened to me, I had the idea to call myself and see if just the powerbutton has a glitch and the phone is actually running just remaining in standby with a black screen. But nope, the phone didn't ring or wake up.
Only way to recover is to take the battery out.
I didn't mess with my phone and was very careful in which apps I installed. The only ones I have are very populoar 4+star apps:
extended controls
easy profiles
the other apps are most of the time not even running:
photoaf, vignette, imdb, nytimes, fb, skype, pandora, screen filter, droid light, prozoom5x camera
No games at all installed...
The 2nd glitch that happened to me a couple of times is that the finger print sensor is not working: It doesn't display any message as in " did not verify, too short, ..." it's just dead, the only way to get in is to punch in the number code.
This is typically fixed after switching the phone off fully.
Of course skype also doesn't work on my atrix (well known mic issue)
It happened to me as well. I had installed some apps but when it froze it had been off (the screen that is) so it was sitting then when I tried to open it by pressing the power button the green light came on but it would not wake. I removed the battery, replaced it then it did the same thing again (including the green light). I removed and installed the battery once more then it was fine. It must have been something in the backround but not sure as to what that was. Hasnt happened again though.

strange, skype worked for me... oh well.
did you ever find a solution for the lockup issue, have the same thing, very frustrating but not as frequent as you thankfully.
My Atrix started to freeze up when I undervolted the CPU using SetCPU and I would have to pull the battery out and restart it. I increased the voltage settings and it hasn't locked up since, so if you have undervolted your CPU and your phone is locking up, you should increase the voltages.

[Q] Kindle seems dead

I used it this morning to listen to music while getting ready for work just like any other day. When I turned it off it has about 65% batter left and I set it on my counter. Came home at lunch and it would not turn on. I plugged in the charger and got no response from the device, no orange light nothing.
I brought it to work and it has been plugged in for almost an hour now and it still has no orange light on it and it will not turn on. Any suggestions for what to do or what might have happened?
-Eric
I've had that happen twice with mine so far the fix is easy though:
Press and hold the power button for 20 seconds.
Press the power button again and it should come one.
Hopefully that fixes it for you.

I would think it's some kind of problem, regardless. Software or hardware, who knows. Basically the 20 second power button as I understand it is just a hard reset akin to a battery pull.

It's definitely a problem but it's not a problem with just his Fire; it's happened to me twice. Once when I turned off the Fire while playing a game (not a hard power off, just a quick power button tap) and again when another app crashed.
This happens to some other android devices. I think its an issue in some gingerbread builds where the device wont wake from sleep.
This has been happening to me frequently since the 6.2 update.
just for the record I too have experienced this problem. freaked me out that is for sure. glad to see others have seen this, and hopefully it will be fixed. at least its pretty easy to resolve the issue when it occurs.
it's useful topic for me.
Kindle Dead
This is happening every day now. Is there a fix? I'm not sure what the frequency is or why, but once or twice a day is becoming the norm...it's frustrating
Rooted Kindle
Go Launcher
Android market Apps, etc.
Try disabling wifi and see if the problem goes away.
kindle dead not wifi related
Thanks for the suggestion. I disabled wifi and waited 3 hours; dead Kindle. I'll try anything...please help as it's quite a nuisance.
Thanks
Is this happening to only rooted Kindle's? I'm getting one from the wife for Xmas and was wondering if this is happening to stock fires as well.
Sent from my Nocturnal E3D using Tapatalk
This only seems to happen to be when i am not using the factory supplied power supply. You guys still getting this using the factory plug?
My Kindle totally dead. I can't repair it. I can't get acces to adb shell. Nothing. this is really sad.
Dead Kindle
Try holding down power button 20 secs then re-press it...works for me
I had this happen to me while I was in a work meeting on Friday. Thankfully I found this thread so I learned about the 20 second hold down thing. It worked like a charm and I have only had it happen once. For the record I am not, nor have ever, rooted the Fire.
It was pretty discouraging to be sitting in the meeting with a "dead" Fire and unable to look at the manual to see how to factory reset it because, well, the manual is included in the Fire....
man, I hate irony.
Same problem here. Several times it has been dead now. This morning again and the power had fallen without showing any steps for about 10 per cent. Wifi was switched off.
Any more ideas?
Now it happend two times in a row. After this night again it was "dead" in the morning. Are there any ideas what might be wrong with the device? (rooted, wifi off, ADW launcher, but not activated, some google apps like market)
Any ideas what could be done?
It only happens to mine (rooted, adb, Go Launcher) when I put it to sleep while it is in "Go Launcher", if I put it to sleep from Kindle Launcher it wakes right up. Hope this helps.

[Q] Stock 4.2.2 - Impossible to wake up, white flashing led

Hi,
Does anyone else have the same problem I have?
If I leave the phone running on battery for a couple of hours it is sometime impossible to wake it up by pressing the power button. Also the LED flashes white (not red). In order to get it working again I have to hold the power button a couple of seconds causing it to reset.
This happens on stock 4.2.1 and also in CM (4.2.1 and 4.2.2).
Seems like a HW problem? Should I send it in for repair?
BR/Svanteson
I've had this issue as well. It may be an issue with one of your downloaded apps. I have gone back to stock without any 3rd party apps and I haven't had the issue yet. Going to test a couple days and see what happens.
Edit: Maybe if you post some of your 3rd party apps you downloaded we can see if we have some in common.
Sure, here are some of my 3rd party apps
Moxier Mail
Eniro
Hitta
Wifi Analyzer
CPU Spy
Subnet calculator
Quadrant
Dropbox
Facebook
Whatsapp
Viber
Spotify
Shazam
MX Player
Truecaller
Llama
Android Lost
Out of those, Facebook and Android Lost are the only ones we had in common. I'll report back on this thread if this issue returns on my freshly flashed stock device without any 3rd party apps.
Similar problem here...

Similarly, on two occasions now, I've gone to bed with the N4 on the charger, only to find it completely shutdown in the morning, and the battery unchanged from where it was when I plugged it into the charger. It required holding the power button down for quite awhile before I got a response and the unit rebooted. The first time, I didn't bother doing anything at all, but this morning, when it happened again, I called N4 support. I was advised to do a factory reset, and monitor it. If it did it again, they'll do an RMA. It seemed they would have sent another one right then if that's what I wanted them to do, but I told them I'd try the factory reset. They also sent an email with a direct contact link to the agent I spoke with in the event I need to return it.
My Device:
Nexus 4 16GB
Android 4.2.1
Kernel 3.4.0-perf-ge039dcb
Not rooted
I'll also post if the factory reset works. I've also read online, that holding the Volume Down and Power Button both for about 10 seconds, disregarding anything that appears on your screen, will shut your device down. Restart and, at least for several posters, the problem disappeared. Just an FYI. I'll try it if the reset doesn't provide the cure.
No joy....

Following up on my post yesterday, a hard reset did not help anything. Neither did an update to 4.2.2 for that matter. I also tried holding the Volume Down and Power Button until it shut down, and while the problem hasn't re-occurred, I really haven't provided enough time to tell yet. So Google is sending me another one and issuing an RMA. In the interim, while I'm waiting for the new one to arrive, I'll follow up if the VolDown and Power button has done anything.
I'm having the same issue. I just woke up, phone had a flashing white LED and would not boot. A reboot was neccessary. Is this a hardware failure?
The last couple of days I have not had WLAN activated. So far it is running fine.
I will activate WLAN today to see if the problem reappears.

Why would you think there's a correlation between the two? I do have problems with wireless-notifications; for example, messages on whatsapp are often delayed, where I get a notification at say 11PM when the message was sent 10:45PM. Do you also experience this?
No problem noted this morning...

I don't know whether holding the Vol Down and Power Button resolved the issue, but at least it didn't happen last night whereas it has been failing nightly when on the charger. Unfortunately, I was just notified that my replacement has already shipped, or I would tell them to hold off a day or two. For those of you experiencing this, you might try holding the Vol Down and Power Button at the same time until the device shuts down ignoring anything on the screen. Then simply restarting. I'm not saying that mine is fixed, only that it had a good night and that was the only thing I've done.
I will post again up until I have sent this device back. I have 21 days in which to return it or my credit card will be charged for real.

Mine also failed while on the charger a few times, but it also happened when not charging, so.... I'll try your solution. Why not!
This just happened again this morning. My alarm failed to go off, but the phone LED was flashing white. I could not turn the screen on. I did install some 3rd party apps yesterday:
Facebook
Tasks Free
reddit sync
Ally
IMDb
Pandora
Twitter
I tried the Vol Down + Power and that didn't work for me. I think I am going to RMA the device.
Yea...I have a few apps on my device, but not the ones mentioned here. So I don't think that can cause it. Hoping for more responses! I subscribed to this thread now.
Does anyone know if there is a bug report for this issue?
Not sure, don't think so as I've googled this quite alot. I just saw my telephone, which was idle next to me for about an hour, reboot itself. I saw the google and then the nexus logo without me even touching it. No white flashing LED this time, allthough that also has happened to me. This is getting very annoying now...
Google Support's reply on this
I have seen this happen to my phone more than a few times. I can't make it happen consistently though. I contacted the support hoping for a RMA, and today I received this response from them.
"Thank you for contacting us about your Nexus 4 and providing those details for clarification. This issue could be possibly not be a problem, it is a feature as with any Jellybean OS device; and goes in to the sleep state after some hours of inactivity - such as the details your describe when left overnight. It can go in to a deep sleep, where holding the power button for 30 seconds or more is what wakes the device up."
So this is a *feature*? It seems puzzling to me. I don't know if receiving a call would wake it up (if not, it would definitely be a problem).
I also tried different roms, PA and Xylon, and stock 4.22 with different kernels ranging from Franco to Motley. It would still happen. Rarely but it's still there. Also I am trying to see if changning the minimum clock speed to 1024 would change anything. I will report back once I have more info.
Still working so far...
I've not had a problem with mine since the Vol Down and Power Button shutdown. It may not even be related and may have just "healed" itself, or the problem has simply become intermittent and hasn't repeated itself yet...dunno unfortunately. Since my replacement will be arriving today, I may never know since I'll be shipping this one back to them. I may wait until Monday to ship it though, and see if it acts up again and repost if it does or doesn't.
Hopefully the replacement won't have this problem at all!
locked up
I don't think the flashing white-LED is a signifier of a problem. I think it is a different status message, like email or facebook, or something. I haven't found that documented anywhere, but I've noticed it is blue sometimes and white other times. Without being locked up.
My phone will lock up while charging overnight. I have turned off Dream State and the LED notifier thinking it was related to these. It did seem to be somewhat better after that, but the last two nights have seen the phone locked up.
Also, holding down the power button for 30 seconds will hard power it off at 10 seconds, it seems to me. That is typically how I deal with this lock up! Hold down the power button 10 seconds, release, press it again and wait for it to boot.
This is frustrating. I was thinking of rooting the phone so I can use a logwatcher, but I'm not sure I will see anything in the logs after booting the fracking thing.
But.. while I consider that I will start by uninstalling Facebook, Dropbox, and Twitter apps, based on seeing them on other people's lists.
I'm going to RMA the phone. Just a question, what charger do you guys use? I've been using a samsung charger (from my Galaxy S2), perhaps that's related? As it does happen while charging mostly, allthough I saw the phone reboot itself out of nowhere without it being plugged in yesterday too.
I've only used the Nexus 4 charger on mine. No others. I'm on my new device now but haven't sent the other one back yet. Probably tomorrow.

This driving me mad..power button

I have to press it 2-3 times before the phone powers on. It doesn't happen all the time. it's very intermittent, but it does happen. After doing a factory reset, the button still performs the same. This just stated happening 2 days ago. I didn't drop it or get it wet. Anyone else experiencing this or do I have a faulty power button? I also get a delay when using the home button to turn on the phone. The home button issue might be due to the SD card though. Really love this phone, but this issue is frustrating!
You have to press and hold the power button for a few seconds to turn the phone on from cold.
The home button is probably because of S Voice which is set to activate with a double click of it, so it'll wait to see if you click it twice before going to the home screen, you can disable this in S Voice's settings.

Sometimes I have to press the power button more than once to put the phone to sleep. Do you experience the same? Is this normal? I am coming from a GS2. This never happened. I purchased an unlocked phone from GSM Nation. I am past the 15 day window to return, so I don't know how they will proceed. If I send my phone to Samsung, I'll be without a phone.

To be honest, no, it goes 'to sleep' pretty instantly with one press on mine.

You might not be pressing the button deep enough. If pressed properly, it should go to sleep with just one press. Long press will pop up the shutdown/restart menu. If turned off, long press of 2 sec will power on the phone.

I have to press it 2-3 times before the phone powers on. It doesn't happen all the time. it's very intermittent, but it does happen. After doing a factory reset, the button still performs the same. This just stated happening 2 days ago. I didn't drop it or get it wet. Anyone else experiencing this or do I have a faulty power button? I also get a delay when using the home button to turn on the phone. The home button issue might be due to the SD card though. Really love this phone, but this issue is frustrating!

Yes, I'm having this problem and I think others are too. I've had 10-30 second wake up lags at times (I have one of them recorded for proof). I got a replacement phone yesterday and while I didn't use it long enough to experience all of the lags, it had a pretty constant 2 second wake up lag. I'm now using SoftLocker to prevent the phone from going into deep sleep and that's minimizing the lag.

I guess it depends on the RAM utilization. The delay happens to me when the RAM is highly utilized.
Does anyone who is having lag issues, have ART as their runtime? I had such nasty lag with ART that I almost took my phone back. Once I switched back to Dalvik, everything was really fast. If you don't know what ART or Dalvik is, then it's probably something else.

Hard freeze when opening camera app

Yesterday I pulled out my 6t to snap a pic of my daughter in her pilgrim outfit for her school play and as soon as the camera app opened the phone froze. For about 30 minutes I tried anything i could think of to try to get it to respond in any way including holding different combinations of the power and volume buttons, plugging and unplugging from charger (and Pc) sending find my device and secure device commands through my pc browser all to no avail. Finally after more than a half hour the screen turned off and i attempted again to get a response by pushing the power button, nothing happened immediately but it did eventually light back up and I immediately rebooted and it was working fine again. Cut to this morning same situation, pulled it out to get a quick pic of my kids and it froze again. This time there was no response from it at all until the battery was depleted and it shut down. Luckily it only had about 20%. The only mods so far are the bootloader is unlocked and its rooted with Magisk and the only root apps on it are V4A and TiBu and i haven't even run titanium yet. I'm just wondering if anyone else has come across this issue also or looking for ideas on what to troubleshoot. From my understanding the pixel 3 camera app is working on our OP6Ts. Can anyone who has used it lmk how well its working so far? I'm not averse to ditching the stock camera for it, I just don't wanna trade one bad experience for another. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Happens randomly for many people. There a some threads on XDA already. Happened to me once so far.
You can restart your phone pressing Power + VolumeUp for a few seconds if it happens again.
Yeah I had tried power+ vol up with no results. I did finally figure out that power+vol up+vol down will force a shut down. I also snagged the pixel camera and it does it too. Thanks for the reply.
