I have a G1 with currently running CSDIv4, I've tried super d 1.09, 1.10 and cyanogen 4.2.15.1.
For the last 2 months when I try to take the phone from stanby by pressing the menu button the backlight comes on but the screen does not. I have to press the end key for anything around 10 to 50 seconds before the screen come up, sometimes it can be for longer.
Everytime I flash a rom it does not happen for days maybe even a week, after flashing csdi it didn't happen for 3 days ish, it did it 3-4 times on saturday, 2-3 sunday and once this morning.
I've tried cache mate to clear the cache regular, reformatted sd card full wipe and dalvik cache when flashing rom, I cant figure it out. I am pretty hopeful its not a hardware issue as it is pretty random and might not happen for days at a time.
Can anyone shed some light on this.
Your phone underclocks while its sleeping to save battery, resulting in a slower startup time. Use SetCPU (paid in market, free somewhere in this forum, use search), to set the profiles to how you like it.
That will not be it.
Sounds like a hardware fault.
Clocking your CPU higher will NOT have any significant affect on ANYTHING.
Think of it like this:
If it takes 10 seconds and you DOUBLE the clock rate, then it can't possibly take any less than 5 seconds. And that would be assuming that performance was a direct function of clock rate, which it IS NOT. Doubling your clock rate will probably get you a 5% boost in overall performance. That means cutting time down by such a small amount that you wouldn't be able to measure it.
Not that it is software related anyways.....
Have you tried TWISTING the phone when it isn't working right? I don't mean twisting it a lot, just enough to shift things in it a little.
I will try that next time, I didn't think it was a hardware issue, for example with csdi it happened every morning when I woke up and tried it whereas super d and cyanogen were more random but I am begining to think it could be the ribbon so I will give you suggestion a try and see if it helps.
Is it possible that maybe when the phone gets hot at the bottom of the screen there could be some kind of expansion going on with the ribbon, I tried ice the other day and though I only tried it twice in a short space of time it came up quicker.
I have searched "soft reset" but couldn't find anything related. I am using the Official HTC Diamond 2 ROM (2.16.405.4 (67041) WWE, Radio 4.49.25.17) on HTC Pure, which was bought about three weeks ago. I need to soft reset it after using it for 4-5 days when the memory useage reaches about 74% or so, or I couldn't turn it on (the power switch dosn't respond). Is this normal for HTC Pure?
Before the memory usage reaches 74% or so, I noted that sometimes the memory was "released" and returned back to 67% or so, which is nice. But the "lock up" (can't be turned on without a soft reset) eventually hits as the memory reaches 74% again. Thank you in advance for advice
I had the same problem when I first bought my Pure. I'd have to take out the battery to reset the phone if I left it on for more than a few days straight. That was until I downloaded a great little app called "cleanRAM" that frees up memory. It's totally customizable and you can even set it to run on a schedule. I set it up to run at the highest level every day at 3AM, and when I notice the phone getting sluggish I just run it manually. It takes all of 30 seconds to complete and frees up tons of memory.
Thanks much, eldavar. CleanRAM did a good job in relaxing RAMS; indeed, but it also wiped out the GPS data. Even after a number of soft resets and downloads of QuickGPS for the fresh data, I still couldn't get the satellites to be locked upon for GPS. I used level 1 (the default) in CleanRAM. I tried for almost an hour.
I did a hard reset to recover the manufacturer's setting to bring back the GPS. One should be careful in cleaning RAMS don't you think. There are RAMS cleaners that do not affect the GPS as much, but the overall response of the phone may become slow.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That's unusual. I use the GPS quite a bit with my phone, lots of different apps (like GPSed, Glympse, foursquare, Google Maps, etc.). I've never had a problem getting the satelite lock after running the cleanRAM program. I wouldn't know what to tell you about that because it's not an issue I've experienced.
After updating to 2.3.3 using COS-DS, my phone seemed to work fine. I initially had a battery drain with nothing taking up large battery usage, so I reset the battery stats and all was well.
However, after unplugging my phone from charging all night (100% upon unplug), I checked my phone two hours later and saw that my charge was down to 22%. Upon checking Battery Usage, I found that Android OS is using 76%! The only thing I've done today was answer a couple SMS messages. I don't have Sync, GPS, or Wifi on, but I do have Mobiledata and 3G+2G on, as well as Background Data. The only widget I have is Google Voice, which I've removed to no avail. I've tried rebooting (twice), but it stays the same. I've turned off data, gone to 2G-only, and turned off background data, and it still continues. In Spare Parts, under Battery history it says that the only thing using up the battery is Suspend in CPU, and Battery Status says that the battery's health is good. Something really strange is that after the initial power-off upon the discovery of this issue, I immediately plugged it into the charger. After about 3 minutes I turned it back on, and found that it's already charged back up to 86%. WHAT.
Also, I haven't plugged it into the computer once in the last few days, so it's not USB-bug related. Any ideas on what's going on here?
EDIT: Ok, it's been a couple hours since this began, but just now I checked the phone (it was on the charger) and suddenly EVERYTHING is gone from the Battery Usage page, save for Display and Android OS, and Android OS is back down to 5% now. Really bloody weird, but the issue seems to have resolved itself.
I've had similar issues. When my battery runs flat, dead. I plug it up and switched it on, and it shown "Charging (32%)". I get different but similar results with different ROMs. It could simply mean the battery is wasted couldn't it?
Have you gone into the Recovery mode and wipe the Battery Status? I was having similiar issue (but not a fast drain), I did maybe about 5 wiped and reboot the phone. My problem seem to go away.
I went from 1 day or less from 100% to having to recharge, to 2 and 1/2 days then charge.
The issue came back later that night, and has been happening ever since.
I've done the bump charge + stats wipe, where I let it charge to 100%, shutdown until green LED, wipe stats, restart, let drain to 0, restart and use. I've tried this about 3 or 4 times, and the issue persists. I've removed my 2 widgets (two sound effects widgets), and it persists.
Also, I've downloaded OS Monitor, and it shows the CPU to be resting at its min, 246.
I'm hoping it's just the battery at this point, and have already ordered another one. I'll let you guys know if that fixes it.
In that case it might be your battery that need to be replace. How old is the battery?
I really have no idea. I bought this G1 used on eBay 9 months ago.
2 things to note:
1. It actually stopped booting last night even while on the charger: I restarted, and it kept getting stuck on the splash image. So I superwiped, reflashed, and the drain is still there even with no user-installed apps.
2. About a month ago, (when I was back on a stable Froyo, which I had been on since I got the phone 9 months ago) it started to randomly shut off. It seemed like if it got just a little too hot (battery got to maybe 30 C, never was able to check what the temp was when this happened), it would shut down and wouldn't get past the boot screen without a reset. I had to either charge it or wait an hour for it to successfully boot again.
In retrospect, this is sounding more and more like the battery. The only thing that's strange is that Android OS takes up such high percentage. Oh well, hopefully the new battery gets here today or tomorrow, hopefully that fixes everything.
Since you have brought the G1 9 months ago, more than likely it's had been over two year or more (about the same age as mine more or less). I doubt that the seller would be giving you a brand new battery.
I noticed the reboot on mine G1 too. Ever so often, my G1 will reboot on me. But I do not have the problem getting stuck at the splash or boot screen. But then I am using the SuperAosp ROM not Froyo.
Let me know how the new battery will work out, I might have to end up getting it myself. Eventhough my battery life got better after I did the wipe battery status, sometime it still drain depending on the day I guess.
I noticed the same result with COSDS.
I moved to Ginger Yoshi with much better results.
Better, but not as good as stock, obviously.
COSDS turned into a real hog on me by the time the second or third reboot happened.
Heeter
I'll stay with SuperAosp, I take the performance over the battery life any day. My battery status an't that bad. Once in the while I used it up in a day or less, other I can stick around for a few days.
The rebooting part was not too bad on my end. Just once in a while. Nothing I can't handle.
@ psychosonic - You might want to try that if you want, Gingerbread Yoshi was one of my first choice before I found what I had.
Alright, got my battery. After calibrating it for one day, then using it today post-calibration, it's functioning phenomenally. After using wifi + internet for a period of time, and sms throughout the day, it's still at 70% 6 hours after charge. Essentially, the only thing that drains the battery is heavy internet use, which seems to make it go down 1% per 2 or 3 minutes.
Internet usage seem to take a lot out of the battery for sure. I know mine take a lot more than 1% every 2 or 3 mins when I use my internet.
Let see how will the new battery pan out. See if it will last you 2 or more days. Keep using it as such, and see where it goes.
Android OS Battery bug
Hi!
1. Install SystemPanelLite Task Manager from the market.
2. Run SystemPanel and open settings and check the "System processes" option. Close settings.
3. Scroll down in the process list until you find the process "android.process.media". If you have a CPU usage of more then 10-30s and the process usage gauge to the left moves up and down you probably have the Android OS battery bug.
At this point you can try the following;
- Shut down your phone. (Not just turn it of. The complete shut-down-power-off-thingy)
- Remove your external SD card.
- Start up your phone again.
- When the scan media is complete, do step 3 above again. If you don't see the problem at step 3 your SD card has a corrupt filesystem. And needs to be reformated. Follow these steps;
- Backup your data first!!!
- Settings -> SD card & phone storage
- Unmount SD card
- Format SD card
- Restore files from your backup.
If the problem persists your internal SD card might have a corrupt filesystem and needs to be reformated. Follow these steps;
- Backup your data first!!!
- Settings -> SD card & phone storage
- Format internal storage
- Restore files from your backup.
More details; What happens when you have a corrupt filesystem is that android.process.media tries to read a file but fails over and over again. The filesystem might not look corrupt to you. And you can read and write files on the SD card without problems. But at some point the android.process.media failes to read the files and loops like crazy, draining your battery.
I had a corrupt filesystem (FAT32) on my external SD card. I also had Android OS battery usage of 60-70% and a fast draining battery. I hope this can help others.

cos & yoshi
cos dds sucks battery.... yoshi"s awesome..!! fr battery!!
if you applied a theme in theme chooser it could have affected it
I m really sick of this update
I have this issue of severe battery drain by two main culprits at Number one it's MEDIA
and number two is ANDROID SYSTEM. I have already cleared cache using recovery and cleared data in settings. Have checked most of my pics and videos. My battery won't last more then 4 hrs. I have disabled most of the bloat apps and quite a bit of Samsung apps. Sync is @ manual
Android system cpu usage after a whole day typically is around 6 hrs
Media cpu usage usually is around 5.30hrs
Searched through the net and found no real fix for the battery drain
P.S - I DID THE FACTORY DATA RESET 1 2 TIMES.
Please help
Update : When ever I manually kill media app and disable it for a while and then re enable it.. Everything works fine for some time.
Battery drain is somewhat gone.. As I have deleted most of the .MP3 files but I m still facing the issue of random restarts and freezing. I have used many softwares to know the reason for random restarts and freeze but no success.
Any suggestions??
Update : Media is somewhat tamed but I have developed weird issue of random 5 - 10 sec freeze. Whatever taps I make during the time the fone is frozen it remains unresponsive but after a few seconds it responds to all the tap commands but after 10 seconds.
Some times I have to put phone in standby mode to sort the problem .
But after that initial problem it is perfectly normal and responsive.
How do I fix this issue
Ps- I have cleared cache several times.
Hey all, I've been having a bit of issues with the Z1 that happened a few months ago.
I just want to clarify what exactly is going on with the device, I've looked into other threads with similar situations but I just want to make sure it comes to the same conclusion.
So the Z1 shuts off near instantly at random intervals being at 80% or 60%.
The thing I never see addressed though is that in deep sleep, my Z1 can last a whole week without issues, the most activity it sees is playing music and nothing more. On airplane mode and everything.
So I just find it strange that if it's dormant, the battery is 100% fine with a very long life, yet upon use for about maybe an hour, whether it's light web browsing or gaming, it randomly goes straight to 0% and dies instantly. When I set it to charge it says it's charged to 60% as if it still has battery. This kind of activity doesn't seem like it's a hardware related issue, or at least it doesn't seem to be related to the battery capacity.
So I figured that maybe it's software related somehow, yet the same issues arise, I've tried stock kitkat and lollipop, AOSP kitkat, lollipop and nougat, and they all have the same issues. One thing I noticed though is that ever since this issue started, I noticed that I can't wipe my data partition anymore.
It mentions being unable to wipe the partition due to encryption or something, even though I've never set up encryption before and for years I've been able to wipe data just fine until a few months ago. Maybe it's related? Do I have some kind of virus?
Just want to clear up any misconceptions before I conclude that I'll need to buy a new battery.
Try command in fastboot : fastboot format data, this may help you
Same here... I was under the impression it more likely happens on camara usage. Some moments later.
Looks like this here:
- Battery is eg 69%
- suddely it says "Shutdown"
- I reboot and it says 0% and shuts down again
- Needs to load a few minutes, then has like 70% after boot.
