Blank screen when waking up phone - Motorola Droid 3

Greetings XDA community.
I have been using Maverick 3.0 on my Droid 3 for severial months, and I did not have any issues. I installed Maverick 4.5 a few weeks ago and I've been having a problem where if my phone is idling for a while and I try to wake it up, I get a blank screen and I can't do anything but pull the battery to restart the phone. Today, I booted into recovery and restored a backup I made while Maverick 3.0 was installed, and now I am still having exactly the same problem - I try to wake up the phone and I get the same damn black screen again. This never happened before with Maverick 3.0. I'm assuming this is a hardware problem? Any comments or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

I had the same problem, I believe its related to the overclock modules. Oddly enough changing the memory management settings seems to have fixed it. Give me a minute and ill grab my settings for you

It's a known issue. To my knowledge there is no specific solution. What Endoroid suggested above works to an extent, but it did not work for me with those exact same settings. With those settings, my screen would not wake after an hour of inactivity instead of the original 20min or so. So I believe it is YMMV.

I changed the memory settings last night and I haven't had any problems so far. Thanks for your help

Its been this way since adw released an update not too long ago. Im not sure if its that older themes arent fully compatible with the update or if thats just the way its going to be now. Im guessing its a compatibility issue that has to be resolved by the theme developers though.
Thanks for your reply I was dying to find our the cause of it.

yea it had my wife pretty ticked off when it happened. She thinks the stock drawer icon is ugly. LauncherPro is a great alternative though, especially if you get the "plus" version. Thats my launcher of choice.
I just noticed when I updated to 6.1 stable that this problem seems to have gone away. I've only done a little testing but it seems to show up every time now.

Swype not working

I woke up today & tried to use my swype keyboard & it said its expired. I've been on the pheonix ultimate rom for a month or so with minimal problems. Before I went to bed I used the fmr memory cleaner cuz I'm having issues with not being able to update apps due to low memory, it didn't help anyway. How can I get swype back, I can't go back to typing this blows. Do I have to reflash? Any advice will be appreciated.

The Swype beta expired. You can go sign up for the beta, and be 'official'. I tried it and it failed miserably - so I'm poking around trying to figure out how to fix my mess. I hate typing, too (even though I'm a fast touch typist on a real keyboard).

Using the new swype beta and I think it is awesome

Swype beta 3 is available. I like it better than stock. Sorry, don't have a link, just google it.

Thanks for the advice, just a few questions tho. Would I have lost swype if I would have stayed stock froyo? I tried getting swype 3 but can not uninstall the curent verson to generate the liscence. I even tried w/ tb that started me in recovery then a weird screen, thought it bricked for a second.

Ok got swype back, I found a tool that came with the rom that uninstalled it for me so I could install the new swype. One last question, why can't I install apps because of low space when the phone shows I have at least a gig in each memory slot?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Easiest way to remove swype when it doesnt even give you the option on the manage applications list is to uninstall via titanium backup.
In regards to ZephCr this happened to my sister's captivate and had to reformat back to stock, dont know reason, but something got messed up on the phones internal memory where apps are stored.

I share the same observation, after the ICS update my Galaxy note the package access helper is using most of the CPU, and it is draining the battery!
Any help in understanding the process would be helpful
Ive just checked my phone and no Package acess helper icon there but i do have battery drain

after uninstall status bar application the package is hidden

I've tried stock ICS LPY and LQ2 and it seems this is one of those rogue services that is destined to fry your phone. It seems to fire up when uninstalling apps and then gobbles up huge amounts of CPU and just keeps going.
This morning I installed 3-4 small apps and quickly uninstalled two of them. The uninstalls took ages - like over a minute each - and the phone was getting warm at the back. I used System Panel Lite to check on processes and CPU usage and this little ****er was going like the clappers and showing no sign of stopping.
Another one to look out for on stock ICS is the Samsung keyboard, and possibly other keyboards (e.g. Swiftkey X) too. They seem capable of clocking up huge CPU minutes if the wind is in the wrong direction, despite the keyboard barely being used, if at all. I have no idea what prompts the crazy behaviour on that one, but I've seen it several times over the course of different ICS installs.
I never saw these problems with the Gingerbread ROMs.
Up..
Can anyone help us with this annoying problem?
I don't know why it would have high battery usage unless an install did not complete correctly and left the process running. Have you tried a battery pull reset?

I just change my Stock battery to Anker Battery after knowing that the previous battery is bloated .
After changing to Anker Battery , all of a sudden my Power Button is not working.
Before that everything works fine.
Try with another battery.

it is still the same .

Did you turn off your note before swapping batteries?
Were you running a custom rom?
I had the same thing happen to me. I have two batteries (stock and anker) and switch between them everyday. Two weeks ago, I switched them out and it won't turn on for longer than 3 seconds.
From what I have read, it is a faulty power button issue. It could just be you need to get a stock battery. It could be something worse. Update this thread and let us know how it turns out.

In the 15 minutes since responding to you, I fixed my phone (it seems).
I took the back off (again!) as per the how-to youtube video....
Then I took some tweezers....
and wiggled the crap out of the power button. Side to side, back and forth....I wiggled with some force. I half hoped I would bust the damn power button off and just use usb to start the thing up....a working note, even crippled by usb start up, is better than none right?
So, needless to say, I fiddled then checked it with a battery...fiddled and checked it with a battery and when I could check it with a battery, where it wouldn't buzz and shut off immediatley, I knew I was getting somewhere.
I am back in CM 10.1 with Flap kernel.
The moral? Grab the tweezers!
faced the problem few days back and power button started working now
i had got the same issue when i switched to these batteries, i did not want to open the case. I tried the charging in usb and taking the battery off etc. But those things did not work. I was constantly using the wall charger which comes with these Ancher batteries. But for few days I started using usb charging for phone with laptop. It strangely seemed to fix my power button. But not sure if it will help someone..but worth a try.

[Q] Battery loss from "Modality Service"?

I'm getting some fairly significant battery drain from something called "Modality Service." It probably wouldn't annoy me so much if I had any clue what it was. Anyone seeing anything similar? Any idea what it is? My searches on the matter are coming up empty.

On and off through the day.
Interestingly "Modality Service" hasn't shown up at all today, with 7.5 hrs on battery. It's pretty intense when it does though, and I'm still deeply curious.
I saw this on someone's screen shot the other day, googled it and it didn't return anything related to it.
I think the use who posted had data disabled for most of the battery cycle, maybe it has to do with that? Not sure though

I have the same issue. I noticed it yesterday, I had very low usage and it was the top battery user. I clicked on it and it said it used GPS for the whole time my phone was on but I have GPS off, so that was odd. Also I checked into BatteryStats+ and it didn't even have it using my battery. It appears it isn't affecting my battery life because my CPU usage was only about 2s. I have no idea what it is though. I posted this on G+ and a guy replied saying he was on the phone with Motorola multiple times and ended up getting a replacement. I'd prefer not to go that route...
I too just noticed this last night and today. Last night it was showing using 48% of the battery and today using 38%. I found the service and force closed it. Not sure what it does or is.
Do you all have moto assist activated. It's only an issue for me when moto assist is trying to determine if I am driving. If I disable the driving portion, modality service never appears
