Ok, so here's the deal - I'm not sure how best to explain this so bare with me... basically I've been running various oc/uv kernels for a while now on my Captivate and have had minimal problems with them. I've had the occasional freeze due to too low uv settings but never anything as weird as the freeze issue I'm having now.
I d/led several kernels to play with and ended up with GB's Steam kernel via Serendipity 4.3 (which is the ROM I'm using now), moved onto Suckerpunch's Suckerpunch-SmR-#27-1280-500hz-CWM to Speedmod-Kernel-i897-k12s-cold-500hz-CWM I think, then to GB's rGB-v.4-011811-voodoo-cwm and now I'm on Suckerpunch-SmR-500mz-#32-CWM (or w/e the full name is...) The issue is that my phone is randomly freezing w/o Voltage Control/SetCPU/Galaxy Tuner running or even installed (as is normally the reason for freezing with me and oc/uv kernels). Now I had VC and GT installed but realized GT wasn't going to be much use so I uninstalled and VC was never set to keep settings at boot so I don't think that VC would be the culprit but I'm not sure...but anyways, I noticed that the freezes started the other night after I tried to add a task widget to my ADW EX launcher via SpringPad with the current screen full. When that happened, my phone lost it's mind...it caused the launcher to repeatedly FC and when you would reopen the launcher w/ the home key it would load to a point where the widgets started to load then it was like it hit what was supposed to be that SP widget but then it would realize the screen was full and would FC again. Well, I FINALLY managed to clear the launcher data, retried, no success, uninstalled SpringPad, launcher still FC'd, uninstalled launcher, no FC (as it wasn't there anymore...) but the phone would now randomly freeze up with little to no provocation. I finally broke down and flashed a different kernel to see if it would help and oddly enough it did. It was only when I flashed a non-oc/uv kernel that it would stop freezing. Now I can't see any correlation between the freaking out launcher and the kernel but who knows, right? I tested my theory by leaving the launcher and app uninstalled and reflashed a ov/uc kernel. About a minute after loading the phone would freeze. The few times it would actually run longer than a minute it would die when I was listening to Slacker Radio and I would get a text. The phone would cooperate until I actually SENT the message and then it'd die. I think I rotated the phone at this point, too, and it did the same freezing deal when I was typing up a comment on Facebook and rotated the phone.
So...in the end, I'm stuck. I'm not sure what it could be. I really don't feel like backing up and reflashing so I may just stay w/ a non-oc/uv kernel until I decided to flash again but if anyone has an idea on what to check then I'll be happy to do it. I saw somewhere that if you had an oc/uv kernel w/ boot settings set that you had to clear those out prior to flashing certain kernels or risk conflicts. Don't see how that would apply here since I didn't have boot settings set but figured I'd throw that out there before someone asked.
I'm running Serendipity 4.3 w/ SuckerPunch SmR 500hz #32 kernel w/ lag-fix enabled and I9088ZNKP1 modem on Android 2.2.1 for reference. VC is installed but obviously won't function on this non-oc/uv kernel. Voodoo v4 is installed for whatever that's worth.
Anyone have any ideas on wtf is going on??
And I apologize for the horribly long, terribly worded post. I've been at work since 8 this morning and I'll be here til midnight...I'm running on fumes at this point. Woo...lol Thanks in advance, guys.

Kernel flashing doesn't always go smoothly. Repeated kernel flashing without complete system wipes in between can cause some things to start going horribly wrong.
Don't use SetCPU to set clockspeeds. Just stick with voltage control.
If you forgot to disable any lagfixes at any point along the way, that could explain alot of the problem.
Suckerpunch kernel is a great concept and is showing alot of promise, but I personally have had alot of stability issues while using it, including random freezes (YMMV, of couse).
Just my opinion, but I would just back up all your data, flash back to stock, master clear, wipe all your cache data, reflash your rom, pick a kernel and stick with it for a while. If you want pure stability and battery life, use the most recent version of either DG's Firebird kernel 2 or Hardcore's speedmod kernel. If you want stability and oc/uv enabled, stick with Glitterball's kernel. Those 3 have been the best for me personally (again, YMMV).
I installed Thrillseeker 3.1 about 2 weeks ago, and have been noticing a few things. Sometimes the phone stops responding to touches for a while, like its locked up, or lagging, or maybe the wrong CPU governor. I don't know what's going on. Sometimes it randomly resets. One repeatable problem is that if I turn Wifi on, then off, then on again, the phone resets.
I have tried the 1.30Ghz kernel included in 3.1, the 1.38Ghz kernel, the 1.0Ghz "Saver" kernel, and the 3.12 update, but the same reset-on-wifi problem persists.
Is anyone else having similar problems? Simple fix?
I would try reflashing back to stock. Reinstall CWM, then try installing the ROM again.
Beyond that, maybe you should PM the guy who made the rom.

I haven't had the reboot problems since 3.12 update from 3.11 clean install. Have had lag issue a couple times..for me restarting holo launcher corrected...tried to recreate wifi issue bit is working for me. All three kernels are very similar the saver has 1.3 and 1.2 disabled and the hotplug gov tweaked
Also posting this in my thread might get you more help.. since your running thrill seeker its ok to post problems you are having in that dev thread as others may be having same issues and ill see it quicker and try to help fix it if I can.

yeah, i'm a noob
I'll try going back to stock and then reflash the latest thrill seeker. I would have posted in the dev forum, but I don't have 10 posts yet, so I'm restricted from posting in dev. only 8 more to go
3.12 hasn't had a random reset on me, just the wifi reset, but that one "works" every time.
Thanks,

found lag problem and found possible fix
lag problem on thrillseeker 3.11/3.12 appears to be the CPU somehow resetting the Max MHz to 100MHz after the phone sleeps for 10-15 mins. Having Romtoolbox installed, then adjusting the CPU sliders quickly bypasses this issue. Although a true fix is in the coding, this workaround appears to be permanent once preformed. At least we now know it is not a flaw in the Rom as far as an overload or hang-up problem. I have not experienced the Wifi issue yet. If I can get a heads-up on how to induce it, I can look into it. Great work on the Rom!
problems im having
The rom itself is near perfect to me...I give thanks to all that put the hours and hardwork into this
I am a complete noob so any help or answers I will greatly appreciate. The only trouble I have from rom so far is if I'm using the browser while its plugged in.. might be a bad install after all. I really jumbled a few things like not making a nandriod. So I'm kinda stuck with with out a return to stock option...I have been trying to work through this but im a bit unsure how to get a stock Back on here. ..????? Any help....... back to rom I love thrillseeker 3.1....I been testing what I need in a rom and well I couldn't be happier that this rom seems to to do the job and then some....everything works perfect ....like I said the only thingthat seems fuzzy is when I plug in to wall charger and then it gets glichy.....
cpu
I adjusted sliders as well the second one seems to revert back to 100mhz often so its not a permanent fix. It does help....
Yeah. Funny thing. My phone broke (cracked screen), so I did an exchange at best buy and this rom works just fine on the new one. I guess my old one was kind of janky on the inside.

There seems to be plenty of us still suffering sleep deaths on our cappies and I figured an up-to-date list of possible remedies would be nice, just in case there's been any progress in figuring out what causes the problem and how one could go about fixing it.
So far the solutions I've tried that did not work for me...
-Increased minimum clock speed
-Increased voltage of minimum clock speed
-Removed Titanium Backup
-Removed all third party apps
-Disabled deep idle
-Removed/didn't use task killers
-Tried various ICS & JB ROMs
-Tried various ICS and JB kernels, including baked-in versions
-Tried i9000 bootloaders
These are pretty much all the details I have so far on these SoDs, hopefully they add up to a possible cause or explanation...
-SoDs happen anywhere from 1-2 times an hour to 1-2 times a day and only when screen is locked/phone is idle
-Having GrooveIP or Skype running doesn't prevent SoDs, but Pandora Radio running seems to prevent it
-Sometimes on a fresh ROM install I can go about 24-36 hours before the first sleep death, but after that they occur normally
-If I unlock the screen every few minutes it seems to stay on. If I let it sit anywhere from 15-30 minutes or longer then it will usually shut off.
-The only time I can get this phone to not suffer an SoD is on stock software(GB KK4). Not sure what this means, but it is aggravating because I would like to have better software.
What remedies have you tried, and what worked/didn't work for you?

-Remove/don't use task killers
My sleep-deaths are random, almost always occur over night while I'm asleep, can sometimes happen within seconds or minutes after locking the screen. Leaving apps running also doesn't stop the problem(GrooveIP is always running, Skype is running most of the time).
The only thing that stops sleep deaths on my phone is leaving it plugged in.

The first thing I'd try after disabling deep idle is to change kernel. Also, usually sleep deaths happen even when plugged so yours is kinda special lol.

I've used all sorts of different kernels and ROMs, get SoDs with everything. Some might result in a day or maybe three days of no sleep deaths, but they eventually start right back up without any sort of a "trigger" to cause it...like changing a certain setting or installing a certain app.
I was hoping someone would have determined the actual cause by now but it seems it's still an unknown factor causing it.

SoD doesn't happen much with JB, it's usually due to deep idle or bad kernel user config (not saying this is the case here).
Have you tried flashing back to stock KK4 and do a clean flash of whichever ROM you want to use?
If you could narrow down what causes it or get some sort of logcat of when it happens, that would probably help. Although, flashing back to stock still seems like the best bet.
Also, you're running on a nightly build (as per your signature). Ever concidered using a daily (stable) ROM?

I've wiped back to stock numerous times and have used many different stable ICS/JB kernels and ROMs. I've tweaked almost every kernel setting possible, tried all sorts of different overclocks, tried deep idle on and off, etc.
The only time I never had SoDs is when the phone was originally stock. Ever since the first time I rooted and ROM'd it I've been getting sleep deaths. I have not tried actually using stock software again to see if the SoDs go away mainly because I don't want stock software.

That's very unusual. If I were you I'd still try to use stock for testing purpose. Oh and I'm sure you already tried this but don't OC/UV.
If you don't get SoD on stock, try flashing something else that people haven't reported SoD on (like AoCP on stock kernel). Which makes me wonder, have you used a JB rom with it's stock kernel (CM10/AoKP)?

Most ROMs I've tried I kept the stock kernel. I'm also on the stock kernel for CM10 at the moment.
I have tried two different AOSP ROMs with their stock kernels and had SoDs on those as well.
I have also tried no OC with at least three different kernels/ROMs.

I'm really running outta ideas here.. This doesn't seem normal. Only other thing I can really think of is either that it's coming from a app or it's a hardware problem (maybe battery but somehow doubt it).
So yeah, only thing I could suggest other than stock KK4 and AoCP is to clean flash without restoring your apps (Gapps are fine of course) and use stock kernel.. After that, I'm all outta ideas.
You got some testing to do, I'll be looking forward to the results.

The only apps that have been consecutive across all my different software installations have been...
-Gapps
-Gmail
-Facebook
-Pandora
-GrooveIP
-Heywire
-Skype(Only been using this for a couple of weeks so I can probably rule it out)
I could try a fresh CM10 nightly and only run gapps. Maybe wait a few days and then install GrooveIP, wait a few days and then install Skype, etc until I can maybe get an app install to trigger the SoDs.
You mentioned logcats...what are those? Is this some sort of debug log? If so, do you think it could actually pick up any events leading up to an SoD or even log the SoD itself? I'd imagine if that was possible someone would have posted the results by now.

A Logcat is simply a log of everything your phone does (Logcat Extreme is a good app for it). You'd have to set it to run in background until a SoD happen and then you'd see w/e your phone did before the SoD happened. Could help narrow down the problem. The only thing I'm not sure is if it will save the log before your phone shuts down but that could be something to look into. If not, then it won't be any help eh.

Booted phone up just now after an SoD and the only log available is the one it just started. So if it logged anything before it looks like it didn't save it. Crap.
One-clicked back to stock GB KK4 and after a few hours I have yet to get a sleep death so far, but overnight idling will be the final test for that. That's with the following installed...
-GoLauncherEX
-Skype
-Gmail
-Facebook
-Opera
-GrooveIP
-Heywire
While installing all my apps I realized that the GrooveIP installation I was using was an apk I got ages ago, one that I don't think has been automatically updating. I thought maybe that could be the issue so I went with a fresh install from the market.
If it turns out that SoDs only appear when rooted/ROM'd then I'll probably toss this phone once I find a replacement because I can't be without my CM10 and devil kernel. I really wish someone could figure out the cause and a possible solution for this.

CM10 features can be found in other ROMs. As for Devil, it could be the problem. Hopefully KK4 will be fine, at least we'll have a start point to work from. If you get SoD on it, get rid of GrooveIP and heywire. We'll then know if it's app related.

Still no SoD and that's with/without Skype running. GrooveIP boots with phone.
If it won't SoD on stock software then I wonder what the problem could be? It's SoD'd with every kernel and ROM I've ever tried.
Sorry for the extreme noob moment here, how do I tell if my device went into SoD? Is it when it gets so extremely slow that even the power button seems to have no effect?
I get that a lot when I've been browsing for a few minutes (even on stock browser) or when playing some games.

SoD means, while idle, that it randomly turns itself off. It was a defect in X amount of phones produced up to a certain IMEI number, and ATT/Samsung at one point offered an exchange program so people can turn theirs in for a model that didn't have the issue.
What you're suffering from is low memory. You probably have apps running in the background that are utilizing X amount of RAM, and your browsing/gaming is eating up the rest which slows down the phone. Some ways to fix this...
-Use a kernel that allows you to increase maximum memory. I think Devil kernel allows up to 396mb with no downsides, and 413mb at the cost of something that has to do with playing a certain video resolution IIRC.
-Use a task killer. This lets you kill running tasks except for those you choose to "lock." Some advise against using a task killer, but honestly I've yet to have a problem with any of them. My favorite is the one you can get for GOLauncherEX.
-Use Titanium Backup to delete(or freeze if you buy the pro version) apps that you don't use that you can safely remove, specifically items that constantly run in the background eating up your RAM.
-Use a different ROM. There's plenty of ROMs out there including slim/aosp/etc releases that are faster and arguably better-performing.
I believe you tried this already but using the I9000 bootloaders seems to have fixed the SoD issue for many people on JB.
I'm not sure if that would change anything, but try flashing Mosaic.

I don't think I've tried the i9000 bootloaders. Any time I flash back to stock I use the link in my sig(one-click w/ bootloaders) and those are the GB version. My phone still hasn't SoD'd on stock software/GB bootloaders so I wouldn't think those bootloaders are the problem, but on the other hand I suppose it's possible that a third party kernel/rom clash with them on my phone.
Are there any downsides to using the i9000 bootloaders? Would you happen to have a link to this mosaic thing you mentioned?
ETA: If it matters any, when I got the phone I believe it was on GB KK4 and was never modded before. When I got it I used the easy-root to corn 7.0a method and first ran Legend5 ICS ROM. That was the first time I started suffering sleep deaths. Ever since then I have used the one-click back to stock w/ GB bootloaders before using any other kernel or rom.
I've used several different kernels/cwm versions to obtain root, at least 6 different ROMs, several different versions of gapps, and numerous other kernels after ROM installation. I've also used the baked-in kernel of each ROM for at least several days before upgrading to something like Devil or Sema. SoDs on everything, both ICS and JB.
I have also tried one-clicking back to stock with what I believe were "up-to-date" GB bootloaders. This was posted by another member that did it and fixed his SoD problem. It didn't produce any sort of a change for me.
I have not tried checking for SoDs on just a root(without ROM). I suppose if I did this I could figure out if it's the root or the ROM that is triggering the sleep deaths, but even if I did get any results from that I'm still not sure how to figure out exactly what's causing the problem since this event apparently can't be logged.

Mosaic is a ROM that was made by The Family; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061203
It is I9000 based so I'm thinking you won't get any SoD on it. Thing is that it's not JB based. Devs aren't porting from I9000 anymore so you won't find a I9000 ported JB ROM. (Hoping I'm not wrong on this lol)
And yeah, many users reported that flashing the I9000 bootloaders with a JB ROM fixed their SoD problem. Back in GB, it wasn't suggested to have I9000 bootloaders and run a I897 ROM (music player wouldn't work and some other little things) but it seems fine now.
EDIT: I highly doubt root is the problem.
Not sure what is going on. I experienced it on stock rom, and I'm also experiencing it on Android Revolution HD Rom.
It seems like whenever the phone is tasked by an app opening or closing, I experience a random reboot.
Anyone know whats causing it?
Yeap me too, but only after closing final fantasy IV.. Dunno what's the deal here

Me, too, but I didn't catch any regularity, yet.
I am on stock ROM.
One time a had a crash report from htc, but most times I only realize it, because I have to re-enter my pin.
Today I realised, that long-pressing the power-button does restart the phone without any other input.
Maybe it's that?
I'm using developer edition and have been suffered from heavily random reboot.
The phone rarely rebooted (2 or 3 times) while I was using it but just kept rebooting if I left it idle (5 reboots in 20 mins). I cannot reproduce the reboot because it was so random. One day, it just kept me annoying by rebooting itself more than a dozen time. The other day it just went super smooth and stable. This reboot has been happening on both completely stock and custom (Rom, kernel).
Anyone got a clue?
If you know a certain action is causing the reboot get a logcat, there's an app called catlog on the play store. Press record, repeat the action, after it reboots get the logcat and post it here

Same issue here! I'm using TrickDroid though. Has anyone tried this with 4.2.2 to see if it still happens?

I'm using Android Revolution ROM on 4.2.2., same thing. It happens once in a blue moon, and it's only on wake when I hit the power button. The whole phone freezes and reboots.
Is everyone here on the Developer's Edition?
I'm having the same issue, dev edition stock except recovery, and root. Some days it reboots, other days its fine. Not exactly sure whats up w/ that
Sent from my HTC One
I'm gonna go ahead and bump this, seeing as I'm facing the same issue on my 2 day old device.
At first I thought it was a problem with 4.1.2, but even after upgrading to 4.2.2 the issue is still there.
ViperOne 2.1.0 the same trouble
Hello,
I confirm the same problem on ViperOne ROM. I have tried out ElementalX 3.4 and Bulletproof kernels. But it seems to be kernel independent.
I attached the log, my configuration is as described in my signature except that I use Bulletproof kernel right now.
It is quite frustrating cause I just wanted to play a movie on my TV using Hama MHL cable, but everytime I connect my phone to the adapter the phone reboots, then it gets stuck on HTC logo, then I have to reboot it manually holding power button. I am also experiencing a reboot right after phone boots up.
This is such a serious issue that I am thinking of going back to stock kernel, but I am not sure if it will help
Any hints?
EDIT: I just installed stock kernel, but still the same, really does not seem to be a problem of the kernel
EDIT2: still trying to find the out whats the problem, I did a clean reinstallation of everything, even w/o using Titanium Backup, well, MHL still causes reboots
Hey,
So my dad isnt exactly satisfied with the custom ROM I flashed on his device, he needs to wait about 4 - 5 seconds (!) when theres an incoming call for the screen to turn on. The ringtone will keep on going off during that few seconds, but the screen will be black.
So I tested it on my Nexus 4, and no such issue has been spotted by me. Although, on his device, no matter how many times I tried, the issue was never gone and I had to wait a couple of seconds for the screen to turn on so I could see who's calling.
I'm not sure whether it is a kitkat issue or not, I tried 2 different roms, first BeanStalk, and now CyanFox, both had the same issue.
I also tried to flash CM10.1, but the keyboard kept on crashing after a fresh flash, wipes didnt help (maybe someone could give me a hand here?).
Another question is, where can I find some good call recording app? the ones from the play store aren't good, they only record one side of the call, never both
tl;dr:
is there some setting that I should change for the screen to turn on quicker when theres an incoming call on kitkat?
what to do if I want to downgrade from kitkat to jellybean?
is there some GOOD call recorder app around?
thank you

If you still on cm10.1 then download keyboard from market and you are good to go Also stock 4.1.2 has this lag issue when incoming call its pretty annoying really

hey, thanks for your reply
actually no, STOCK 4.1.2 didnt have this issue, it started to show when I flashed 4.4.2 on it, is there some sort of fix for this or do I have to downgrade to JB? I'd rather stick to KK as I prefer it more.
on the other hand my dad hated google hangouts and he wants the stock messaging app back, I guess I can only go with CM
also I cant install a keyboard from the market, because I cant even log in to my google account, I cant get through the setup without a few things crashing over and over again, every second or so. the keyboard doesnt even show up
delete the latinIme.apk from the zip file you are trying to flash and substitute it with one from the other roms you tried flashing.
I know how to control the delay with which the ringer starts but not screen :s
These commands I think only help when call ends but it doesn't hurt to try, add them (or check the values if already present)
to build.prop in zipfile before you flash it
Code:
ro.lge.proximity.delay=5
mot.proximity.delay=5
I am on kitkat right now and have no lag issue...have you tried changing kernel?

I flashed Nameless ROM and surprisingly the lag issue is gone, and due to stripped gapps I flashed, I got the old messaging app back, which is quite the perfect combo, now the only thing I am missing is a good call recording app, is there a chance you can suggest one to me?
thanks again!

well I tried it out, the rom is nice and all, but my phone is extremely slow, the lag issue with phone calls is back, sometimes turning the screen off is impossible, or takes up to 2 minutes (!). turning it back on isnt much better either, I dont know what the problem is, the same thing happened on the BeanStalk ROM so I assume it isnt a software issue, but a hardware one, do you have any ideas what could be the problem and how can I solve it?
I want to tell you my experience about custom roms.
I don't know if you tried this combo: CM11 + kicos kernel (modified iodak's kernel) + minimal PA gapps
I works for me very well.

yeah, but shouldnt all the 4.4.2 ROMs be quite snappy? doesn't kitkat reduce the hardware requirements? why would JB work fine (or so I think, I'll go back to stock in a few mins and see) and KK be laggy as hell?
I've got a theory, I'm not a hardware guy and I dont know if I'm right or not, but:
could be that one of the cores is damaged and the system tries to switch some tasks to the damaged core (if android handles different cores the way I think) and that core doesnt really work the way it should, causing the entire system to work like a granny?

This is probably some wake/lock problem with software. Also on my o2x i've noticed strange lag when i press the power key it has lag until the screen comes on buttons below the screen light and after a couple of seconds the screen. It has 4.3 CM rom there if your father is using this phone i would suggest you some stock based rom with custom kernel. They should not have problems like these.

That still the best sollution for him - optimized kernel with stable ROM. He probably isn't techno freak?

could be, however, it isnt only for the power button, when the screen is off and a call is coming, it needs a few seconds for the screen to turn on, after the call is done, the system is all choppy and laggy. Turning the screen off after that is also nearly impossible, due to power button malfunction. I went back to stock for now and I'll see if the lag is gone, if it isnt, then its probably a hardware issue.
edit:
yeah, I'm on stock 4.1.2 and the issue isnt gone.
crap.
sounds like a problem in the timing the processor uses for scaling frequencies...
hav no idea what could be causing it unless you have some kernel tweak app and set wrong values
Have you tried clean flashing the Roms you installed? Have you Factory-Reset, Cleared cache, cleared Dalvik cache, and maybe did a system partition format before flashing?
