Hi!
I have a g1 and its freezing constantly. before one month it starts to freeze and I downgrade it to rc29 and root it and put cyanogen 4.1.999 and continue to update all cyanogen releases and it stops freezing. Now I am runing 4.2.4 and before two weeks the freezing thing get started again. first it starts to freeze when it get hot, when I use it for long time and it get hot in my hands. That was rerely happening first few days. Than it starts to freeze when charging and lately even when on standby. If it freezes when on standby the phone don't respond in any way only some times the volume buttons work and I can hear the sound of changing the volume when I press it, and even sometimes I can receive calls but the display don't work and no lights on buttons part. On the other hand when it freezes when I work on my phone it just freeze and there is no any respond from the phone. Buttons light are on and display is on. sometimes it get off, sometimes the display get off and buttons light is still working. Some times the freezing thing start in stages, firstly touchscreen and ball press won't respond. But I can move to another icon using ball and even enter it using the enter button on qwerty keyboard. And after some time even that part stop working and the phone is completly freezed. when I pull the battery out and return it back right after some times it wont turn on. And I just pull it off and leave it like that for half hour or more and it turn on normally. The only issue last few days it even starts to freeze while booting. I make a logcat and grabed the last_kmsg and its available in the attachment.
I hope someone is going to help me
ps. The phone is without warranty and there is no t-mobile or htc service center in my country.
Sounds like a hardware issue man, you may be SOL... You can try wiping everything, and re-flashing cyanogen 4.2.5, and see if that helps your issue.
Also, try underclocking your CPU, to help it not overheat as much, as that seems to be what your saying is causing the problem.
Leme know how that works out.
Try flashing a build that did not freeze for you, and stick on it for at least a week or two. If that build starts to freeze, it may be hardware.
I did wipe everything and put a fresh cyanogen rom 4.2.4. and it still occur.
How can I underclock my CPU?
btw. Thanks for help I hope its not serious hardware problem...
Hello everyone maybe you can shed some light on a problem I have been having with my xperia.
everything works perfectly fine with no complaints except for one thing thats really starting to bother me. If I leave the device on with MSN Messenger running for any period of time, eventually the device goes into standby mode and all the buttons become unresponsive. The phone itself is still on but all the hardware keys (including keyboard and power button) become unresponsive resulting in an inability to wake the device back up and forcing me to take out the battery and restart the device that way. Some times it will happen before it goes into standby mode and the touchscreen will still be operational but none of the physical buttons. Anyone else had this problem? what can I do to fix this?

Try Fring or Slick.
i noticed recently that if i press the power button, it sometimes takes a really long time to turn the screen on. i know the hardware works because the backlight in the soft buttons turns on immediately, but the screen remains black for up to 10 seconds. this happens rarely. however, im fairly sure it isnt a software problem because ive wiped completely and installed a fresh rom and the problem seems to persist. perhaps i just recently noticed, and the problem was always there? does anyone else have this problem?
three threads above yours.

could be a hardware issue.
Mine does this every few days.. I am still on the stock 2.1 rom.
Mine also does this, I only noticed it after flashing Cyanogenmod 5.0.6. so I thought it might have been a bug. I also assumed it was a bug because the phone seems to act strangely when you are touching the screen and try to hit the power button.
Hopefully this isn't a hardware issue, I've had the phone since release.
Is anyone else experiencing similar issues?
It happens to me as well, but very infrequently. Maybe every few days... so it doesn't bother me enough to worry about it.
I'm on stock ROM btw.
I am leaning towards thinking this may be software related. A few minutes ago I was at the lock screen and tried about 50 times (yes I waited long enough after each press) and simply could not get the screen to turn off. I then tried long pressing the power button and, sure enough, each time it would bring up the shutdown menu (yes, over the lock screen). Must be a bug right?
Hmm, my problem's slightly different. Around half of the time, I have to press the power button twice to turn the screen on. Sometimes, pressing it the first time doesn't turn the screen on, had to press the power button firmly again.
This started only recently. On stock n1 and bought it during feb.
that means that your power button is dying, like many others' (including mine)
this is the first time, it takes 2 clicks to work....than it will increase.
Expect a repair soon...
Well i am having the issue other way around. i am not been able to put my phone in stand by mode by clicking on it and it is do a hard press then i get options to shut off the phone
any suggestions what might be causing it ?
I'm happy I haven't received this problem yet

I am having the same issue and i wonder if you were able to find the cause for it. I have the same rom as you do on your phone

I have a similar problem. When I unplug the N1 from the charger, the screen comes on showing the lock screen, and I can't get it to turn off. If I unlock the phone, however, then the power button works normally. I don't think it was doing this until recently (I bought it in January the first day it was offered and am running the stock update1 ROM).
So here is my theory if the power button is a problem then it needs to act up both ways and not only one way. right now i can put the phone in sleep mode but i can wake it up. i will post the issues on the development forum and might be able to find an asnswer to it
So seems like the issues is because of Cyanogenmod 5.0.6 because since i have flashed another rom it is working just fine. i will be doing some more testing before i can be certain
Another problem I am experiencing is when I long press the power button, it pulls up the phone options menu but also turns off the screen. It's extremely frustrating as it does this quite frequently; right after I power on the screen again and unlock the device it works properly every time - so much so that I am convinced this is a software issue.
I am now running froyo, rooted with Cyan's minor root patch. I can also say for sure I experienced the same problem on CM 5.0.6, but it definitely occurred less frequently.
Am I alone here?

I just started having this problem after upgrading to 2.2.
I have this every so often. But sometimes wonder if it is flyscreen doing it
You guys should all just be running the app no lock to take the power autumn out of the equation.
Ahhhhh! I just need trackball wakeup!
I have a similar issue where my screen will turn on but will be unresponsive. When i turn it on and off, the backlight jut comes and goes. If it times out it won't turn back on for a bit(the backlight will come on still).
I just wiped my phone, hoping that'll fix it since it only started happening on a regular basis since I updated to Froyo
I have a problem with my Topaz and have a suspicion it is a HW problem.
Several weeks ago I watched Futurama on my Topaz using TCPMP player (as many times before) and suddenly the volume adjustment screen appeared and the volume decreased to zero (but the corresponding button was not pressed). Since then this problem appeared every time I tried to watch a movie. Sometimes it helped to stop the movie and to switch off the display but sometimes I had to put off the battery.
I tried the HW reset but the problem appeared immediately after the reboot (when I imported my PIM data and the system was sorting the SMS messages).
Originally I thought the problem is connected with the high processor load but then I tried several tests and figured out that the problem is probably purely random and appeared here and there when the display is switched on (when I use Nitrogen player and let the display on, the problem appears, when I use the button on the screen to switch it off, it does not appear). Recently I tried to let my mobile with the display on (and no program running) and after approx. 30 min the problem appeared again.
What do you think? I have a suspicion it is a HW problem (a problem with the button sensor) and I will have to reclaim.
Did you do a hard reset by holding both volume keys and soft resetting with the stylus?

Yes, I did do a hard reset several times and the problem occured again and again. Yesterday evening I loaded the newest ROM and now I am testing it. Video is playing now and I am impatiently and nervously waiting...
I did some preliminary testing today and the system seems to be much more stable than with the previous version of ROM, which is highly surprising as I was totally convinced it was a hardware problem. However, it was a little bit colder today in comparison with the previous days and the overheating of the device (and the button sensor) is still in suspicion. I will continue in testing the stability of the system tomorrow.
And there it is again.. :-(
Although the frequency of the occurence is not so high. But still it is pretty annoying, the next week I will send the phone for the warranty service.
I think the problem is somehow connected with the overheating of the device, because I guess it should be no problem for the device to play a movie for one hour or two, even in 30°C heat.
Problem solved - the warranty service sent me a message that they found the same problem during the test and they changed the motherboard. I hope my device will be OK now.
Hey guys, does anyone else have the issue that hardware keys randomly stop working, especially after a wake-up, and they randomly start working again? It feels like the process for these keys sometimes hangs itself for a while.

That happens to me every once in a while, and has ever since I've owned the phone back in the kitkat days. Just press the power button to lock the screen and unlock it again. Fixes it for me.
Yes thats what i say, iam aware that Power off/on fixes it but i thought that there may be a fix for it. The software of this phone is running so amazingly well that this little bug is quite annoying
And with Android 6 came a new bug, it takes now 5 seconds to switch to front camera. I dont know if others have this aswell.
