Just want to figure out the reason of black screen freeze, it makes me crazy

Well, to tell the truth, I like this phone. Dual-core CPU, perfect screen, HDMI output etc.
But as soon as I get this phone, I found it cannot be wake up from sleep.
I heard that LG has released a update software to fix this problem, but after I had connected my phone to the computer and opened the LGMobile Update, it told me there was no newer update available.
So I'm trying to figure out the reason of this problem.
This problem does not happened every time when I push the ON/OFF button to put the phone to the sleep mode. If I just reboot the phone, and then turn off the screen, there will never be any trouble, even I put it on the desk for the whole night.
But if some programs has been run, like the games, map, internet browser, or even a call or SMS, then lock the screen, it will never wake up. Or if I plug in the charger or connect the phone to the computer, it works great with no trouble.
What's more, after the phone has 'dead', the temperature of the phone became high, and even became higher and higher, very strange.
So I try these way to solve the problem with no success:
-replace the battery with another one.
-wipe the battery information by using ClockworkMod and then re-calibrate the battery.
-flash a different version ROM, including MCR ROM and LG Stock ROM.
-flash a different version baseband.
-force the CPU frequency to stay in 800Mhz by using 'pimp my CPU'.
-lower the voltage of the CPU.
-forced the frequency to stay about 400Mhz when the screen is locked.
-remove any applications installed by myself.
-disallow any background applications.
-put the phone in the rom with air conditioner turning on which the air temperature is about 25°c.
Then I guess this problem is caused by power management bug.
There will never be any problem when the phone is awake, or the charger is plugged in, so I don't think it's a hardware bug.

Must be a bad unit. :-(

As I said before.
When you press power button to wake-up the screen, and the screen is black (bsod), press power button again (so it would power off the screen, even tho the screen is black), count till 20/30sec and press power button again....
There yoy go, phone working again!
Ive overwon my bsod since I know this trick!

No, no work.
Now, after playing games or using Google Map, I must turn off the phone, and then turn it on again to avoid this issue.

OK, now I can almost confirm that this issue is caused by overheat.
I boot the phone, then put it on the desk without any operation, it will remain OK.
Then I put it into my jeans pocket for about 1~2 minutes, it will be dead.
Again, after playing games, I put the phone just near the air conditioner, it will be cooled down very soon, and the issue will not happen.
So, is there any way to make the ‘temperature protection’ or something like that higher? Or just remove it from the Android OS.

I don't think removing any sort of temp failsafe would be a good idea.
I just had a bsod and the phone was really hot. If anything, it needs a proper failsafe put in, so it at least reboots in stead of hanging on the black screen

I had a phone with the usual reboots and charge-bugs like everybody else. I shan't claim I've found a 100% solution, but what I can say is that my phone never reboots/bsods anymore, on stock ROM, MCR or CM7. It does get hot to the touch when it's working hard or charging, but still operates reliably.
There are several version of the basebands floating around. Not only are there different versions (02.18, 02.23, 03.15, .04.05, 05.02), but more importantly, there are different versions of the same version-number as well.
I downloaded three original ROMs from the thread here on XDA, all of them including the 04.05 baseband... and all the baseband-files were different.
As you know, if you're already on 0405 or higher, you can't upgrade through the LG update tool, as it claims you're already updated. So to make sure I had the latest "official" baseband I installed a 10a version (baseband 02.18). This allowed me to upgrade through the LG-tool. I still got an 0405-baseband, but... not had a single reboot since, and I've tried every ROM out there. (Am now back on stock waiting for CM7 to become polished.)
So to the ones out there who still suffer reboots, try to smartflash back to and old version, then upgrade via the LG-tool, it worked for me.
(This could of course be entirely coincidental, my phone may just have spontaneously "healed", but it's unlikely.)

Thanks for reply dude.
But I've tried almost every version of baseband and rom already.
I'm from China, newest version of baseband I got is V10S, which is a Korean version, and the newest Chinese version is V10K. I have tried to flash the phone back to V10A - a European version ROM, and then update the phone using LG Mobile Update software to V10D, and this did no help to the issue.
As I said, this problem always happen when the temperature of the phone is high. I'm not sure whether the CPU/GPU temperature or the battery temperature will cause this issue (I prefer to believe it's because of the battery temperature, cuz the Google Map won't use too much CPU and GPU resource)
Another interesting thing I found, is that if I leave the music playing in background, then lock the screen, the phone will never meet any issue.
So now, my solution is to avoid the high temperature, or playing the music in background, muted, and then lock the screen. This may drain the battery faster, but at least I will never miss any call.

LG Thrill is laggy?

Testing a LG and im getting a ton of lag. Does the optmus have simliar issues?
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA Premium App

Surely lag is subjective. This is my first Android phone and I certainly do not feel its laggy, but its not like I have anything to compare it to.
So off the top of my head I would say no, but that isn't really very helpful.

Hi,
What's the Rom version you are using right now (android version with date build), is it the retail version.

Due to my position I don't fell conformable sharing that but this is the retail release for AT&T

Just load another launcher on as most of us do and the problems will go, mine isn't perfectly smooth on the LG launcher, I found Launcher Pro the best on this phone so far.

^
Yup...launcher pro is butter smooth

Not really, it is not the smoothest device but it is not laggy too. Try a hard reset. It might fix the lag. Or use another launcher. Launcher pro would be the best alternative imo.

Compared to the 2x the LG Home runs a lot smoother on the 3d, A LOT. I'm using GO Launcher EX and no lag at all, the only moment when you can feel something is when installing several apps at one (witch I may say is generally gone after installing latest update and performance pack)

If you dont know lg has a unlocked bootloader so do this
I also wanted to add you can wipe your Cashe by recovery mode.
1. Power off your device.
2. Hold the (down) Volume button. EDIT. you might need to do this a couple of times I can never just get into it now that I'm rooted DONT ASK ME WHY I DON'T KNOW... It usually works if you power on the device then
3.You will need to back out of the wipe selection by hitting *NO* (Push Settings button aka Lighted key all the way on the left till you get into LG Factory Recovery) Unless you would like to do a full wipe!?
4.The use Vol. UP or, Vol. Down to select Wipe Cache Select with the Left Lighted Button.
5.Reboot Device
You can also use this method to do a system wipe with out going into android itself
It seems to help me with the very minimal speed slow downs

I don't think its as laggy as some if the devices out there but I haven't tried tweaking too much on it yet to notice.

KitKat Quick Glance

As we all note kitkat has been out for 2 days
My quick impression is that it isn't good
LAAAAAG in launcher (Not Lockscreen nor apps) (GPU Rendering isn'T very effective)
Battery is being killed
Camera seems to worse in low light condition (Will post an comparason later) and slower
No update for the stock apps (Xperia blog has those)
Post your Impressions below How do you feel
Update:In NUT's recovery don't enter TeamWinRecovery for me it caused an refuse boot
had to connect in download mode (Without flashing anything)
Opening PhilzTouch recovery and booted from there to system

I find it quite responsive after the initial lag in the settings menu and bad battery life.
What's really annoying me though is that I can't find a tweak which enables expanded desktop properly. Despite KitKat apparently natively supporting expanded desktop mode, Gravity Box for some reason doesn't want to work properly. It worked perfectly in 4.2.2. So I'm hoping someone can make a working version.

Another test
if you use the voice message of FB Messenger your mic gets locked
and you will have to restart your Phone to make it work

i've had kit kat for two days now on my xperia zr no root, locked bootloader. I have no lags, everything works quick just like 4,3. The only issue is that google play services drains battery like crazy (at this very moment is on 87% on battery use ) :/

There is an xposed mod
Called Force imersive mode try it

What Rom? I am thinking of switching ?
Carbon or BeanStack ?

kitkat
I don't see/feel any problems on my C5503
running smooth

Any Major difference in terms of functionality between 4.4 and 4.3 except the Theme Color? If not I'll stick with 4.3 itself:victory:.
Also Please provide the Walkman, Gallery and Movies APP Version in 4.4

I'm kinda surprised with all ur reviews here coz I don't have any lag issues whatsoever.
I'm using a prerooted version of .230 on my C5502.
The phone is responsive, I got a decent antutu score of around 21225 and the battery barely drains.. I had a perfectly flat battery graph for abt 4 n a half hours (of course I wasn't using the phone but that also means it's going into the appropriate power mode effectively). And even when I was using it, I got a decent full day of use out of it.

Carbon is good but Mokee is officially supported and offers much better functions IMO eg. split screen screen recording and awesome handy shortcuts from the recents menu... i am using stock 4.4.2 sony for now but i am already missing Mokee..
in any case if you want to move back to cm/asop/akop i would recommend Mokee but don't get me wrong i still love Carbon Rom.
I think i'm getting 20% less battery time on sony kk

I noticed lag and heating issues at first install but if you leave it for a while it seems like it fixes itself.. I would say it uses about 20% more battery than maybe a cm rom..

At first I thought that being with my own home made rooted version was the cause of the lag. In the z forum I read about wiping data and factory reset and also reboot a couple of times. I have to say that the lag is gone. I like the Kitkat version so far. I even made it deodexed and put z2 app in the app folder even that works. So if you can find the new updated apps it is possible to get them working.

I Reflashed with Flashtool With Wipe Data
and then a system restore Everything is fine now (Even without touching GPU rendering)

early morning rant
How do I feel?
Honestly, as free beta tester for Google that's how.
I'm not even considering updating to stock KK, yet. Would rather move to some fine working custom ROM like Carbon (need to check first if VPN is working) or CM.
- It used to be, flash stock, one-touch root and voila.
- Now, it's TA backup, BL unlock/relock, flash, recovery, flash, flash, tweak this, mod that, xposed, gpu render, battery drain, oh lag, oh camera is slower, oh more emoticons, OH COME ON!!
I know it's not Sony fault but those hipsters from Google.
With killing external SD support, at the end and in the future, it smells that stock Android will work flawlessly ONLY on Google hardware. That's a pure BS.

You mean Mobiles with no SD card*

Yeah, basically all Nexuses, mob/tab. Good read here
I think it helps to keep product life cycle short. The Apple philosophy.

Okay, after a few days use I'm getting major lag when unlocking the phone. When I input my pattern, the phone responds with the vibrations like 3 seconds later, and THEN it unlocks. After that it's completely fine, and feels a lot snappier than 4.2.2. Does anyone else have the same problem?

Mine is great here
I have pattern and unlock it is very fast. no lag at all.

My phone 5502 is working flawlessly. No lag and no battery drain. didn't want to root so i don't risk loosing my apps and data. i upgrade directly by flashing an ftf file over 4.3 with flashtool and no wipe.

Very good ROM
Only 1 issue - couldn't turn off NFC, neither in notification bar, nor in settings. It would just pop right back on. Had to disable it in app settings. In battery info it's showing NFC to take up 40% of the power.
If someone is uncertain - this is IMHO good for daily use, no crashes so far.
One thing, when screen is off Battery Monitor Widget shows +875mA current on 2A charger. But when I'm using the phone (mail, web browsing) it shows that battery is discharging "-100mA", even though it's connected to charger. Is that software related, or I need to replace the USB socket/charging circuit in my 4xHD? I have it since yesterday and I instantly flashed CM :/

NFC: Read and you'll find it out. Otherwise trying the most trivial idea regarding any software would work as well.
Charging: No problem there, the system lowers charging current when the device gets hot, i.e. when you use it.

Are you sure about that? That's the first phone that did this to me. LG GT540, and LG G2 were charging pretty fast, even when under 'heavy' usage (playing games, etc), and 4xHD have dissapointed me utterly, when it has screen on and I'm just using dictionary/whatever (Wi-Fi and mobile data off) it's slowly discharging.
Man, I think I'll cry after G2's battery life and features in a while.

Problem with Wireless
Hi,
I have a problem with my wireless. Especially with the wireless network eduroam which is used by several universitys. It uses 802.1x EAP with PEAP and MSCHAPV2. It seems when I'm changing my location the wireless crashes. I'm not able to turn it off and the whole configuration and mobile internet crashes too. After crashing there is a information that the configuration was terminated. I'm using the version 11-20140916-SNAPSGIT-M10-p880 but I also tried the newest nightly. Sometimes the wirless crashes in my home Wifi. Is this bug already commited and what I'm supposed to do?
Thx.

I have no problems with eduroam, just used it for around half an hour without issues.

I'm using Official CyanogenMod 11 M10, and the phone is pretty much rock stable. The only things I would like changed are:
1) Boot time to be shorter
2) Battery consumption to be more efficient
Can we expect these problems to be solved on the next Stable/Snapshot build?

I flashed a stable 10.1.3 only to find a problem which I guess only I have. I cant recieve calls and when I go into settings>about phone, my IMEI is there but phone number says unknown. Why have a phone if you cant recieve calls? Whatsapp doesn't work either by the way. I like this ROM and I don't want to go back to stock. I'm new to flashing so please make replies detailed Also, does anyone know how to disable the button lights?

Flash CM11, I'm on 20141018 nightly and it's pretty much usable as a "daily" ROM. Just get recovery (AFAIR you need at least 6.0.4.4 to flash KitKat ROM), flash it, copy ROM and google apps to your SD card, wipe cache, data, format system partition, wipe dalvik (I don't even know if all of this is necessary) and you should be good to go. In recovery thread there will be tutorial on how to flash it, and as you flashed a ROM already you should know how to do the rest

help please can't overclock my LG 4x to 1.6 or 1.7 ........ I don't know why do every think ( root / unlock boot loader ) try most rooms and kernels ( wipe cache, data, format system partition, wipe dalvik ) !!!!!!!!

baseband for italy
Hello, I'm using baseband form v20d of the turkey stock. I have no network problems with CM11 (or beanstalk) . Anyone would suggest to update to baseband v20c for germany/italy ?

Hello, anyone else noticed that your WLAN-MAC changed during upgrading to latest firmware? I was updating from 20A_EU-->20C_GER. Phone originally came with Telekom Firmware (German). New Baseband works okay for now, crashed yesterday 1 time, but maybe it was related to me hitting the traffic limit on my contract and getting throttled. I'm using the nightly from the 27th.

data connection loss
Hi!
I've been facing this issue for a long time now and i tried a ton of roms, switching back and forth from the cyanogenmod 11 to omni and others... I find almost impossible using my data connection 'cause every time i switch it on, after about 5 minutes i end up having no connection at all (no service). Sometimes my phone asks me to reenter my pin number and everything seems to work fine for a couple of minutes, then i have no service; sometimes it doesn't even ask me the pin code and i have to reboot my phone in order to make a call... How can i fix it? It has driven me crazy, i searched all over the forum for answers but it seems none has my problem.
EDIT
In addition, since i keep off the backlight of the buttons on the bottom, i noticed that whenever this bug occurs, the backlight goes on and keesps staying on 'till i switch it off again, even if i reenter my pin code

S5 marshmallow issues

Has anyone updated to marshmallow? I recently did and noticed several features I often used gone...first the power saving mode is changed and does not turn your screen grey anymore to save battery life. Also I often used power saving mode when I wanted to quickly charge my phone (this would charge the phone much faster than not having it on)and this feature is also gone bc the phone will not allow you to use power save and [email protected] time! Another feature gone is being able to quickly preview a text in the notifications bar without going to the text.However the greatest issue is that all my music and video files have to be opened individually instead of being in a large list...Also I cannot use the app but have to go thru the sd card folder topopen each file one by one I'm using the stock Samsung video player and music player...is there a way to fix this it has to be an issue with marshmallow bc I've tried 4 different sd cards and it worked fine before the update to mm..? .if anyone can help please lmk

Go to developer options , click simulate color space and select Monochromacy. It will give you the grey scale you looking for. But not sure how much power saving that will give.

I dont know about you but for me it`s worst. I`m on official software(dbt-germany G900FXXU1CPEM), updated via ota system update. It looks the same as 5.0 but it says it`s 6.0.1. .I get ~1-1.5 hours of screen time (on 5.0 i had ~3 hours). If i use the phone for more than 3 minutes it gets hot, never happend on 5.0. Except for the new animations and icons it`s nothing new for me. Even the notifications panel looks like old 5.0(with green icons not white like in 6.0.1.). Also battery is charging a little slower, it took 1.5 hours to get from 30% to 100%.

My biggest issue is the Battery Life. It is fluid-smooth esp. with games, but at the expense of sucking every bit of battery. Tried a lot of Marshmallow Firmwares from many regions but all have this issue with the battery life. I hope Samsung fix this.

I dont know about you but for me it`s worst. I`m on official software(dbt-germany G900FXXU1CPEM), updated via ota system update. It looks the same as 5.0 but it says it`s 6.0.1. .I get ~1-1.5 hours of screen time (on 5.0 i had ~3 hours). If i use the phone for more than 3 minutes it gets hot, never happend on 5.0. Except for the new animations and icons it`s nothing new for me. Even the notifications panel looks like old 5.0(with green icons not white like in 6.0.1.). Also battery is charging a little slower, it took 1.5 hours to get from 30% to 100%.

Don't know if this will be any help, but personally speaking I DO NOT update by way of OTA's. I had a bad experience with my S2 Skyrocket (that I still have) and ever since I flash stock firmware thru Odin, but only after I install a custom recovery and do a data, cache and system format. I presently use a G900M (Latin America.) I just updated to MM from KK about 4 days ago, CWM recovery installed, rooted, debloated, Xposed installed, and I must say my device is running quite fine.
