Hello,
Joined the forum recently,unable to post in any of the existing threads due to the 10 posting rule (yawn!)...hence started a new thread, Apologies if this has been already reported, cd not find the related thread.
I have tried all ROMs (barring MIUI) and observed the following
On 2.3 Stock ROM & Andro - The phone gets hot while using 3G (the lower part) and sometimes while on charge (not the battery). Is this normal and expected of a Huawei product ? I use a Huawei 3g dongle and have observed it to get hot on usage. Occasionally have also seen the phone to heat up while on EDGE. Not sure if this is my handset problem or something else (due to overclocking ???). Open to advice suggestions.
GPS is not working on Andro, it hooked on to the satellite only once post searching for 15 mins.
2.3 Stock ROM & Andro - I have seen other members report of Screen lag - is this the lag in screen display appearing post pressing the on/off button post screen lock or the delayed response while moving between screens ? I have not seen any delays while pressing ON/OFF in Froyo, India 2.3 Update, Good ROM 318D update or Andro update. And in all, i have seen delayed response while swiping to the next screen.
Is there Wifi Problem in Good ROM 318D ? I experienced WIFI issues;did not lock onto my home WIFI despite multiple attempts. No issues observed on other ROMs
Noticed Bluetooth headset (I use a Nokia) volume is very low in Official Stock ROM (2.2, India 2.3 and Good ROm 318D) but excellant and loud in Andro ?
Couple of more points/queries (pardon me if these are elementary !)
On 2.3 the EDGE/3G/WIFI notifications sometime goes White, what does this signify ?
Saw a thread on 1500mah battery, Anyone's used it ? Appreciate a review. My battery experience is just ok.
I rooted the phone on Official 2.3 ROM, installed ROM Toolbox, it asked for Busybox while trying to change system font. Installed that from market, however the phone restarted suddenly and hanged at Android Logo at start up. Where did I go wrong ?
Phone occasionally restarts, have read this in other CSL MI410 reviews, noticed this happen when there is an FC or the phone is busy !
Thanks
Couple of observations
Hi all.
Have been a happy owner of a Samsung Galaxy S I9000 for almost a year now.
The I9000 has worked great until some weeks ago.
Suddenly I noticed that every movie I watch stops with a black screen after
30-60sec, then reapear after 5sec and so it goes on through out the entire video, just like when buffering a streaming video.
This happens with movies that are saved on the device (not streaming)
I´m also using my device for car navigation with Navigon, Aura etc. is dead slow.
These navigation apps worked perfect before with smooth uppdate of the maps while driving.
Now the maps freezes for 10-20sec then updates, then freezes again.
This makes all navigation useless.
I have tried to stop all running apps, restarted the device.
Have also uninstalled all newly added apps.
I´m on 2.3.3 Gingerbread.XWJVH (uppdated some month ago and everything has been working fine until now)
I have 135mb used RAM and 1,5Gb free mem on the unit.
Also have 3,5Gb free on the mem card.
Everything else works great on the device, no lag when scrolling menu´s etc.
Except for the battery, a fully charged battery last for about 6 hours.
But I´m using it ALOT for both mail/sms/navigation etc.
Batteri usage:
Display 51%
Android OS 17%
Seems to be right?
The only thing that I have change over the last weeks is that I have redirected
my work mail to my gmail, but this should not be to hard on the phone.
I´t like everything is on half speed..
I have read about rooting the device and use lag fix but I don´t realy want to do this.
Any ideas?
(Excuse my bad English)
A general solution could be to do a factory reset (WARNING: that will delete your data etc! so don't do it unless everything is backed up!) and see if that fixes it.
However, as a specific solution - i shrug my shoulders.
Do you know if your handset has branded firmware?
Hi guys,
I bought my first Xiaomi a month ago, and since the first day my phone reboots randomly.
In the beginning it was 2-3 times a day, but now it reboots at least 20-30 times a day.
Moreover, it doesn't only reboots itself, it crashes during the reboot (at least 5 times).
I've never flashed the ROM, in fact I did nothing except installing some apps (Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat)
I'm currently running on Global Stable ROM 10.1.2.0 (PEAMIFI).
Please take into consideration that I'm a newbie in all that stuff, it's the first bug I had on any phone.
I uploaded a video on Youtube, so you guys can see what really happens : youtu.be/7KRbpr-omo8. (sorry can't make a proper link due to security rules...)
(You'll notice the crash during the boot process at 00:30 sec)
Thank you in advance to any one who may be able to give me some ideas.

Did you find any solutions to this? I'm having the same issue
Hi my Razer 2 will just randomly freezes. By that I mean sound will continue to work, the screen will remain on passed it's 5 min inactivity cutoff point, but the screen and the side buttons( all 3 buttons) will not respond to any input. I'm not sure how long this will last but I know it has stuck that way for more than 15 mins. Most of the time I just immediately reboot. And about 25% of those times it will still be unresponsive once it comes back on. But most of the time it fixes the issue till it decides to do it again. It does this about 2 times a day.
I'm not rooted, unlocked, nor have I flashed anything to my phone. It is still bone stock. The phone is only about 2 months old and I'm on the latest update.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Exactly the same issue here, stock completely but will crash on nearly every app I try to run. Screen is so unresponsive it is painful, playing Pokemon Go is a horrendous experience. Taking my handset to Three today to see if they can give me a replacement.
Mine doesn't do it on every apk. But when it does I'm usually watching a video...... Haha no not porn.... Lmao. And the other weird thing about it is when I reboot it it will show the splash screen then boot animation then it cuts the boot animation short and pops up a very basic very old school window requiring me to enter my password. So I enter it and it goes right back to the boot animation where it left off. And finishes running the animation then before I can go to my "Home" screen I have to input my password again. But this time is normal password screen and I have it set up to require it at that point. It's the first generic password screen in the middle of the boot animation that puzzles me. It just started doing this about 3 to 4 days ago.
Had a previous phone that would randomly freeze.
The solution was to enable developer mode. (Settings about phone and tap on build number 10 times)
Head back and find developer options.
Set Window animation scale to off
Set Transition animation scale to off
And set Animator duration scale to off
Restart phone.
Hope that helps.

I've faced the same. Three are not only swapping my handset for a Mi 8, but they have upped my contract benefits to the top level, and reduced my costs by £10 a month. I know the Mi 8 specs slightly lower than the Razer, but I'm fed up with this

That's one of the first things I do when I get a new phone, flash a rom, or just generally anytime I have to set it up from scratch. So it's not that. I guess I'm gonna flash the kernel in these forums that has root capabilities and twrp built in. See if that helps..... I like the performance it has during mobile gaming. PUBG runs on the higest/best video setting and speed like a boss.
Did you set it to adoptable storage when you first got the phone?

If that is the issue is this something that can be reset to have the option to choose the correct storage if the factory image is flashed?

You would have to do a hard reset.
When asked how the memory card is to be used select as portable storage.
Not to be provocative, but why have the option of adaptive storage if it doesn't function as it should on this phone? I've never had this issue with any other device. Personally I'm extremely disappointed at Razer. No updates since the Feb security patch, we are now in June. Razer forums show very little advancement and support, and we know the mobile division has been scaled down significantly.
I would have thought this device could be a devs dream, but alas it appears long forgotten

I agree. Not having any update since feb's security patch shows Razers laziness or lack of concern for their supposedly high end mobile gaming device. Not a confidence booster going into a round of PUBG knowing it may freeze at any moment.
It just froze again for no apparent reason.
And by the way I don't even have a micro SD card in the phone.
This is weird I've never had any of the issues you've described in either my RP2 or RP1. I would contact Razer send it back or swap.

Same. Haven't even had it for a month. Completely stock, latest update, freezes completely when opening either version of Chrome (Canary and Stock) sometimes, and forcing a reboot usually gets it frozen AGAIN before I even unlock it, which makes me force another reboot. Not to mention I think I'm already noticing a dead pixel on the screen. It hasn't even been a month.
I did a factory reset in the stock recovery about 4 or 5 days ago. It's been running beautifully since. No lag no freezing just running as smooth as a unicorn sliding down a rainbow. So I guess I picked up some kind of malware or something along my journey. I've gone to the "dark web" a few times. Just snooping around. But I was safe about it. I used a VPN and ran thru tor browser. But it could have been there that I picked up something. Who knows. But what I do know is it's back to as smooth as it was out of the box after a full factory reset.
same here on rooted
it mostly crash when I want to watch videos on Facebook or similar pages.
it does on stock/rooted stock/gsi and i think it's vendor problem
Moving back to Internal storage seems to have done the trick, especially as my SD card has been disconnected several times now.
Same issues with Radom and sometimes more often freezing as to where I have to hold power down until it reboots.last time it did it was a few minutes ago I was trying to watch a clip about oppo 7 pro video about 5g on the chrome search app it played about 15 seconds and solid froze my phone everytime I tried to play it.it worked fine in YouTube app
My phone is been having this issue lately.
Seems to have started only in the last week or so..
I am running the custom kernal and the "stock deodexed and zipalign" rom.
It could also be that I've rooted...?
I don't want to go back to stock rom so I live with the random frozen screen once a day and since people here have said it happens on stock.
Phone has never been dropped and it isn't hot when it happens.View attachment 4803124

Mine has done this a few times in the past week. Stock rooted, tried stock kernel and arter's kernel with same result. It's only happening to me while using chrome and videos in Facebook.
Running complete stock Three ROM, no rooting. Chrome took an update over the weekend and now the phone locks up when watching video. Works fine on Samsung browser on the phone, just Chrome.
Might finally get around to flashing and getting LDAC working on this thing....
I got to tell you something....
Since few years, my huawei follows me everywhere ; a P8 Lite given here or there, few years ago ; replacing my old S3 mini (L8190). From his scene or commercial name P8 Lite, or his full name ALE (for ‘Alice’) L21, released in 2015, unlike his older brother, the P8 Lite Prague, released two or three years later, with many differences.
That P8 Lite brought me several issues : touch screen going litterally in failure when the temperature goes over twenty degrees celcius, very fast, then I adopted my first decision from a long serie of precautions a bit abnormal or totally uncommon, regarding a smartphone owner.
Do you remember in James Bond, the scene of Roger Moore, using a camera to aime the necklage of his secretary (in the presence of Q), enjoying to zoom-in, zoom-out on the top of her clothes ? Well, replace the erotism by a screenlock of the huawei, and increase the zoom speed by x1000, and you will have the effect of a huawei in ‘normal/common’ situation, just after being stored in the twenty or thirty degrees celcius of a pocket, in a beautiful summer. Yess ! The screen works very well ; but for the touchscreen, it’s totally f**ked up : this is the first disapointment. The touchscreen is the culprit, to be activated everytime (like if fingers where active on it), even if.. nothing touches the phone. I did a video posted on xda, for the most curious...
For the touchscreen issue while overheating, the only way I found was to remove the rear plastic at the back of the phone itself : it let the electronic chip and battery directly like sticked to the silicon case. I didnt found anything better, but it’s still better than salvage restart the phone, and wait five long minutes (android 6) to get system started and ready.
But the one of my permanently abandon of playstore, and his 500MB demanded to install a 10MB (!!) app, will make me definitely leave google services, on daily life. Wah ! Im among the lefters of gafamnt. Well, it’s okay for me (even better) Going to Lineage (with ggleapps, then, ouf ! Without..) will not bring only better experience, at least not that one..
Since 2020 and the crisis, I start to study with high motivation the mobiles cellphones world : arm plateforms, xda forum (highly better than frenchs ones), theorical lessons and learning, so. Practical side, too : the recovery mode, twrp, then lienage, his ancester cyanogen, etc.. It will take me about a year to be skilled and well understand, at least the advanced/intermediaite level, to understand those devices. But in the meantime, with lienageos, others problems came..the PINlock keyboard, whom freezes one time over ten under lineage, : you ush on the touch of the keyboard to type the code, but it stays as an "animated pushed touch", an nothing reacts anymore on the screen. At all. It will come to my bigger misadventure..
Just to be more accurate : a year after ,I use lienage 14, perfect release for this device : not too recent, so it's not running slow, but not too old, so all my favourites apps runs well. And I use the encryption feature, only available on lineageos (never stock rom, imho), who doesnt permits to the little smartass whom could steal my phone, to do not siphon all my data using the recovery/twrp, whom doesnt care about pin at android lock screen, but not in case of.... encryption. Wise precaution, logical, in 2022, after this rase awareness about cyberdefence, crowned by the symbolic pegasus affair. Last information : my phone is powered off every evening, powered up every morning, since my first smartphone (iphone), and I always did like this ; it's a kind of prudence I have, my alarm clock has always been (and will ever be) on a second classic plastic phone, like old 3310 : two months of autonomy, that's something.
So after those "one more thing" information, the following is more.. crusty.
So in beginning of 2023, after had let my next phone few days away, the time of the official of lineageos 20 ,aka android 13, from AOSP (I didnt wanted to use it immediately, to avoid the export/import data with a clean install of lineageos 20), because it was supposed to be released in 2023, jan or feb (it has been the case, but not official yet)
In january 2023, two weeks before this misadventure happened, I took the precaution to export and import those data to my new smartphone : not with success, some setings where proper to the lineageos 14 release, and failed. As a good half-nerd, I procrastinate. Yes, that happens.
Until that day of January, Im outside, trying to take a picture... a long path of issues, a long descend to technology hell... I get out my phone. I make swiping from right to left, to hand the photo recorder app, as the feature allows it. The bug allows also that the screen makes a little "flash" on a blank screen for few seconds, before going back to suspend ; Im thinking that it happens, it will be better by unlocking manually the phone by pin, then taking the camera app, basta.
Im wrong : I try to unlock the phone, Bim! keyboard bug. Not any key works. Nothing else to do than restart, because the phone is in the coma, means doesnt reacts anymore. Only solution regarding keyboard bug. But I refuse to let it like that, to drain the battery while cant do anyhing with the phone. I start to push ten seconds on the power button, to do a salvage reboot.
Then Bim! (bis) : nothing. Nothing happens, I figured out few days ago, with the volume up/down buttons, that power button too had a little problem. To make it working, it's necessary to push a bit on the side of the phone, at the buttons level. Few days ago, it was working. Here, zero, nada, more than twenty minutes to make it react, that power button wants to stay in the coma, a bit like the keyboard. After half an hour, my patiency is almost to throw the phone to a bloc of concrete not far of here. But I dont, regrets will come then, per thousand. So I let things like this, at that time. I will handle that problem at home.
I come back home. I finally made the powerbutton pushing : I ask it to poweroff. New bug, it happens sometimes : the "powering off" popup shows, but undefinitely. It happens sometimes. But was solved by ten seconds on the power button. I finally connect it to USB, do a "adb rebootbootloader". Im thinking by restarting it, it will make his memory in a better way. I wasnt expecting being taken by the word.
All users of lienageos whom knows the encypted lock screen at the very beginning of lienage/android starting (even, before it), knows well the thing : impossible to do anything (excepted maybe emergency calls) when the encrypted pin lock code is not entered. A little soft "ring" reminds it to you, every five or ten seconds, after five minutes of inactivity.
So I did the adb thing to reboot the device. You see where Im trying to go? When command is validated, the device immediately restarts ; due to an emotionnal precaution, and also because this device is tiring me a lot, I let it at the top of a little furniture, with the idea it will let it being forgotten for the rest of the evening. That dumb electronic device took it at the accurate word :
between the tea and a little part of reading, my brainds remind me something : this dummby of huawei didnt asked me yet the encryped lock code, with this little ringer, whom never stops until correct code is entered.
Very surprising.. after few moments. Im really worried, after long minutes of waiting.. Why doesnt it screams at me to get this code, to permit it to start android?
Im going close of the device.. Horror! I see the assistant of first lienageos installation. That thing totally forgotten all the data !
After few hours, I calculate my losses :
two weeks of precious exchanges of sms/calls, with numbers for some of them, I will have difficulties to retrieve them..
signal, telegram and jabber (conversations/quicksy), are just definitely gone. the only rescued data? it's the backup made two weeks ago. It permits me to retrieve some data ; but not from isntant messaging, forever gone.. RIP, and without me, huawei.
Since that day, I do everything I could to get my data backed up withing the 24hrs : cloud (EU) storage, daily SMS backup, and especially I limit the number of used apps, to avoid future problems. I remember my maxim : the phone is the second object the most volatile of daily life, just after the home/car keys! And I dont even talk about the drained battery, the bugged operating system whom doesnt starts, nor the forgotten or stolen device.. A long quest to secure my data, starting by the crédo of backups : 3, 2, 1...
Laureates for photos backups would be pcloud, koofr and jottacloud, whom permitted my to find back photos from last hours (and mms received) before the drama. For the rest, memory will be honoured by that essay.
I never use banking application. Cause I disagree of linking a extremely volatile device with money
I use wifi when available, cellular data about less than an hour a day (or even quart of hour per day).
I manually switch it off/on. Cellular/mobile data eats a LOT of battery/energy (battery capacity
divided by 3 minimum)
I use :
newpipe (for yt) / maps.me (for offline maps) / vlc / qksms / fdroid/aurora / carnet / muzei / pdf-
epub reader / davx2 / foldersync / smsbackup&restorek9mail/fairemail / protonmail/vpn
firefox focus / firefox / fennec / torbrowser
linphone / conversations/quicksy (snikket/siskin for ios) / signal/telegram
nextcloud/pcloud/koofr/jottacloud
I do not have, and will never have google apps again (I never use ggle services – at all)
Is there a point or a question here?
