FRF91 freezes 5 times daily?

What is going on here? It either freezes when:
1) slide-to-unlocking
2) switching between programs
3) google sync icon shows up in notification bar
4) in apps
Need to pull battery all the time! What's going on?
I've had this ever since the FRF50! I'm so annoyed and want to go back to 2.1, but I do love the battery life I'm getting with FRF91.
Any help please?

Sorry, realized I posted this in the wrong forum. Can MODS transfer the thread to Q&A?

I'm getting freezes on the same situations you have posted. However not with the same frequency as you. Mine is 1-2 daily.

strange, my phone is stock and ive had none of these issues, i actually thought my battery life had worsened since 91. It seems like the green meter doesnt drain as quick but the actual percentage drains faster than ever for me, at least i think so

This should unusual and should not be happening. Wipe everything and reflash.

That's Strange... I haven't had any freezes since installing the FRF91 OTA.

Yepp, same here! Never had a single freeze/lock-up since I manually updated to FRF91 from EPF21.

Hardware Issue
Seem to me you either have a defective apps or widget, a defective SD or a hardware issue like defective video ram or something like that, you could try to use a benchmark app like quadrant this may help pinpoint the exact subsystem that cause crash (video, cpu, ram) and try running stock OS with almost nothing loaded ...
This is assuming you are running from a clean install, When you have issue it's always a good idea to clean install (full wipe etc...)

Try to go to bootloader (press and hold trackball when power on), then go to recovery and clear out cache.

Mine is stock and sometimes it freeze when I tried to unlock. I had to turn the screen off and on 1-2 times to make it work again

Following your advice and let me monitor for a day or so. If doesn't work I will wipe everything and reflash.
Thanks!

wipe everything and flash both FRF91 and the latest gapps.

1. How many app you have and 2 are they on your SD? If you have alot of apps ittaking up your internal space causing you to freeze.

I actually installed spare parts the same day i installed stock frf91, so i am not sure who is the culprit. It didnt happen today, but froze yesterday and the day before.
turned off all the animations (transition/window) to get maximum speed out of my n1 using spare-parts maybe thats causing the craziness no?

Same here, 2 or 3 times per days.
I have found that cpu is burned by com.android.email ! This apps eat all cpu power when there is no wifi/data connections available and it try to sync mail...
The phone become unresponsive or very slow until connection return or I kill the app.

No idea... I bought my phone at the earlier earlier batch, where it is pack in bubblewrap... LOL!
Anyway, at 2.2.2, still same problem. Doesn't want to get custom rom, as after my exam, i'm going down to LG and get some servicing or shyt out from them...
The problem exist especially when you are charging. It occur also when you put your phone to sleep while running on GPS. Very fedup with it.

It is categorized in Freeze and Reboot Problem
It's the first stage of that problem, if you continue using it, you will suffer the reboot problem

solution to some bsod models. Tested, working!
Many p990 bsod models have faulty soldering of some sort. A solution which have worked for many is to simply plug in your charger. When your phone goes to sleep and doesnt wake up when you hit the power button, just leave it be for 12+ hours. Place your phone on something soft as well, like your bed. This will heat up the device and fix the faulty soldering. If it does not work, try longer period of charging. Good luck. (I will take no responsibility if this does not work as planned)
This was tried on a bsod model which went to unresponsive sleep every 5-30 minutes. After this procedure it was faultless

have u tried not to sleep your device when charge?? settings->applications->development->stay awake

I've had my LG for quite some time now and I still trying to figure it out. So, if you're patient enough, please, just bare with me for a while as I explain what I've tried so far what what were the results.
A lot of people complains about this phone... unstable, crashes, reboots, BSOD, etc...
The first problem I had, came with the stock ROM... after a while the Wi-Fi just stopped working and it would display "Error..." as a message. The only solution was to reboot. 3 or 4 days after I had bought it, this was already killing me... so I started trying other ROMs but all seemed to suffer from some sort of problem except for one (see phone info below), which I've been running since June and I find it impeccably stable I can basically keep my phone running for as long as I want, as long as the battery doesn't run out (obviously), which brings me to a second point... battery drain!!
The battery drain was the only problem I didn't manage to find a solution for... and after a certain while, even though my phone was stable, having to charge my phone every single day was becoming very annoying.
Since I live in a different country than my GSM operator, it doesn't come as a news flash that network look-up has a big impact on the battery life, specially because I live close enough to the border to be able to keep the signal but in some parts of my house the signal is lost forcing the phone to search for a new network, which sometimes it finds (roaming) and sometimes it comes back to the original network and so on... However, what I find, unarguably, to have the biggest impact on the battery is having the Wi-fi enabled when there's no available network, it's just huge, it can suck up the battery in a few hours...
So, I decided to try some of those power management apps such as Locale, Green Power and some other, in order to minimize these problems, but curiously, they all caused the same problem... BSOD within a matter of minutes. I installed the app, configured it, waited for the phone to go into sleep and puff... it was gone. The only way out of it was removing the battery. I uninstalled the app, and the phone was stable again... this happened with every single app of the kind, that I have tried.
At the moment my phone is as stable as it gets but if I don't pay it enough attention, the battery dies in a blink of an eye.
Model number: LG-P990
Android version: 2.2.2

blank screen but phone ON!!!!

Has anyone had this issue?
I have tried a few different ROM's and have had this problem on all, the phone will work but sometimes when the phone is locked and asleep you cannot get the screen back.
If you ring the phone it will ring but you can't wake the phone up (the screen is off).
If I then pull the battery and reboot all is well until the next time, which is random.
I will remove all my programs to see if there is one of them causing the issue, I don't believe it is the rom as it has happened on a few of them.

Have you wiped your phone when flashing the different roms? I've had it sometimes, i think it could be a ram management issue...

Yeh, I always do a factory/wipe, dalvik cache wipe.
I think it might have been TW4.5, I did some research and installed TW4 Manager I then updated TW4.5 to the latest Version. So far it hasn't happened yet but i'll give it a couple more days.
Thanks.

Yh ive been reading and TW4 generally accelerates the issue (because its a ram hog? not sure i dont use it) Im currently using Golauncher with system tweaks, but was told that nemus launcher and system tweaks was a better combination... Seems to be working, ive had less force closes or issues of that type

it's the proximity sensor. needs replaced.

I don't think so...
The proximity sensor is only used when your in a call. It should not have any effect when he tries to wake it from his pocket after a while...

Well i am on 2.3.5 and using golauncher and never had any problems. Still my best guess is the damn sensor. On samsung apps there is an app called sensors i think and that app tells u what is working inside the phone.

Sounds like a great app but seeing as the screen doesn't turn on that app might as well be useless in this case

No screen turns on, its just when it turns off it wont come back on...

I have the same issue with my SGS. Running stock version of JVT.
Wake up in the morning to phone alarm but screen is black. Pushing home button or any other button does nothing. Had this happen a few times now and only solution is to pull the battery

In order to help you we need to know what you are running currently and what you have tried to resolve the issue so far, can please make as detailed account as possible

It's seems that everybody have this same issue. I have exactly this same - phone is working - buttons are lit, but the screen is blank. I'm on 2.3.5 stock firmware.
Trying to solve this I already did wipe and even formatted the internal storage.
What's more interesting is that this same happens to my wife's Galaxy Mini (S5570) !!.
I can remember though that when my phone was on v2.2 about a year ago it was working ok.
small tip:
What you can do instead of pulling the battery out is to press the power button for about 10 seconds ( phone will turn off) release and the press it again for few seconds to start again.

You don`t need to press power again, just keep it pressed until you see the samsung bootlogo.
Mine has started to blackout too, maybe it`s related to some installed software. It worked ok still few months ago. My galaxy mini is working ok tho, has only few market apps installed.

The bug is called SOD (Sleep of Death). Apparently a Gingerbread only bug (I think deep sleep was introduced in Gingerbread).
Your phone is going into deep sleep, and can't be woken agian.
I don't know if there is a fix for it, but you could try search for SOD on these forum pages.

i had this issue on cm7 with neo kernel, but sometimes it responded after some time
i think its black magic made by apple and will kill our cats

As Herman76 said, this is the SOD, I used to get them quite frequently. I created a thread with a possible workaround. So far haven't got any new SODs.

[Q] Galaxy Note GT-N7000 crashing regurlaly how to find out the culprit?

My Note has started crashing regurlaly, I have had it since release and have a lot of software on it. I am not sure when it started happening but it is definatley getting worse as time goes on.
Is there any log file or event browser that can be installed to tell me what is causing the problem?
When I say crashing I mean literally crashing dead not a force close. I either find it in my pocket turned off and then have to hold the power button for an age to turn it on or sometimes it is sat on the desk and I suddenly hear the noise it makes when it re boots.
Any suggestions for finding out what the problem is that don't involve uninstalling software until the problem goes away?!
Thanks

Have you tried better battery stats? It gives a list of processes that have been running.
Definitely strange - do you have an anti-virus program you can run to see if it can help?

That sounds like a Sod (Sleep of Death) issue that's been reported many times b0t with no definitive solution of yet..
Some said changing modem helped, others with changing kernel or even ROM but no consistent solution across all users
Try to fix permissions through advenced menu in recovery but am afraid there is not much I can help with

this is driving me nuts. The phone is unusable.... is there no possible solution??
At this point I will try anything. It crashed during the night on Thursday, didn't restart and so there was no alarm and I was late for work!

Please post your current configuration Kernel, Anti Virus program if any, undervolting, overclocking ?

By any chance are you using easy task killer... if you are just change the auto optimize to nothing - I did that and it stopped sleeping...if your problem is persisting then you could just do a factory reset and use default settings...

My note recently started crashing as well, whenever i turn on my mobile data plan or the wifi it will crash right away
However this is ironic because when ever i put my mobile in charging mood than i have no problems at all.
So im thinking ,is this the battery problem or the software problem?

battery problem.Try to see what is the output of ur battery in full charge by messure it with electric potension meter (sry for bad english).
If the meter say less than 1850mAh in full charge than u need a new battery.

Battery Drain

I'm facing a problem with the messaging app. It keeps my phone always awake. This issue is detected by betterbatterystats and a wakelock detector. My phone gives me around 4 hours of screen time but I wonder if I can get more? Anybody facing similar problem?

I run ES Task Manager to automatically kill apps that aren't being used every few minutes and I get about an extra half hour out of it

1. turn off "Daydream" and "Glance" by setting--display
2. do not use "live wallpaper"
3. always use animations on "0.5" --settings--developer options
4. turn of "always awake" -- settings--developer options
5. set ur brightness low as possible
6. use apps kill app like "quickly recent app" and close all apps time to time.
7. turn off GPS and Data (when u dont need).
(For long life battery, use specific battery charger, lets the battery drained minimum of 4% then charge "if possible switch off the device and charge it".

Thank you all for your help. I had to freeze the stock messaging app using titanium backup to solve the battery drain issue. I'm currently using an alternative app.
