When I haven my HD2 on extern power it reacts strange. It doesn't do exactly as I want to. It skips icons, doesn't react while pressing icons, the screen scrolls when not touching it and so on. When I unplug it.. the HD reacts ok...
Hi, I also discovered similar reaction when my device is put on loading.
I think the system (CPU) performance is rigidly breaked to shorten the loading time by limiting of the power comsumption.
so i think it is meant do behave this way - keeping the loading time accurate!

This is getting really frustrating. The touch screen will become much more resistant to touch or freeze altogether sometimes. A quick press of the power button (put it to sleep, then wake it up) might solve the issue for a few seconds, but then it's back. A hard reboot does the trick, but the problem always comes back eventually.
The really odd part is it's not always the ENTIRE screen. Sometimes it.s just a section, sometimes just the keyboard, or sometimes even just a program. (Seemingly picks a random program. Exiting out, clearing ram, or even going to the desktop and back might fix this for a few seconds.)
What do you guys think? Is this hardware (possibly warranting a return) or software based? I'm running Starburst on a 16gb wifi, so nothing crazy.
The accelerometer on my Razr Maxx works promptly and perfectly except under two conditions. The first -- if I'm lying down, say on a couch or in bed, and holding the device over my head facing down. In this position the device will almost immediately shut off over and over. It won't reboot, just shut down. I can always restart it the same way I would from any "sleep". I can get the device to stay on merely by rotating it to face "up" no matter whether I change position or location or run or do not run any particular application. Is this common? Is it by design for some reason? The second -- if I have Button Savior installed, the Maxx accelerometer will work but there will be a significant delay in responding. Like 15-30 seconds delay! No Button Savior - no delay. Install Button Savior - delay. Uninstall Button Savior again - no delay. This troubles me as I really like Button Savior even on devices that have "hard" buttons. Having these controls right under my thumb is the fastest way to navigate, for me. Button Savior (updated) works perfectly for me on other Android phones, on my rooted Nook Color (CM7), even on my rooted Nook Touch. Any cures for either ill?
Hi
The accelerometer issue... does this happens from the first day you bought it? I trying searching similar issues, could not find anything. I am almost sure it is physical defect of some kind, you should probably take it back for replacement.
I don't know if the accelerometer issue related to Button Savior began when I first installed the app (as opposed to coming from a particular app update, for instance) as it took a long process of elimination to find the connection. As to the "upside down" issue I believe it has always done that. However -- it only does it if I TURN ON the device while it is upside down. If I start using it facing up, say watching a video, and then turn it upside down the video continues to play flawlessly. Bizarre!
I know there is an option to use the light sensor to detect when your phone is in your pocket, and turn off. Maybe it's on on your phone, and it's detecting lower light when you flip it over and shutting the screen off?
ok, so i misunderstood the issue, i thought the phone turns off completely...
if it only goes into "silent" or "lock" mode... maybe you installed some kind of app that does that when you flip? or maybe your player has one of those settings? like... say you are in a meeting, with your phone on the table, it rings... you just flip it and it goes silent.... some android build have that as a default setting already...
here, check this so u understand better what i mean :

hope this helps!
tried updating yet? i had the same problems prior to the 65.1.40 update
Hi there to everyone, I broke only the glass on my screen couple of weeks ago (it felt face down from about half a meter, thats stupid) and I change only the glass my self but since then i have a problem with the screen like: if I press a bit harder anywhere on the screen for about 2 sec the screen became irresponsible and also the back and menu buttons, home and power button work normal. If I press the home button it react as it should, it goes to home screen, so it's just the screen frozen on touch and I have to lock and unlock the phone to go to normal. On daily use it's not such a big problem as i don't press the screen too hard, the problem mostly occurs when playing games.
I would try a hard reset but I not rooted as I use some apps that don't work if I'm rooted and I can't save all my settings, saves and apps and personally I hate to reinstall everything back again.
I'm thinking this is a hardware problem but why it goes to normal only after lock/unlock procedure and i also find on a forum that this can be from the screen protector. It's something similar with the phone in this video the difference being that mine it freezing and that it moving by itself. youtube.com/watch?v=isBDKgxB5vs
Did anyone also experience this?
PS. I sorry for my english as it's not my own language but I'm trying to make my self clear as best as i can, Thank you
A few threads have already been made, most are in various subforums of various phones. I think it's an Android problem, not the phones themselves.
Here's the deal:
On Android 4.x (I'm on a Nexus 5 with 4.4.4, CM11 M11) with the lockscreen set to swipe only, no security (but that does not matter, happens on PIN as well...) wake your phone out of standby with a quick tap to the power button as you'd usually do. Then, long press the power button for around 10 seconds, maybe a bit longer. The phone now reboots and throws you back to the SIM PIN prompt.
For me this happens when the phone is in my pants and I kneel down. The tightened fabric of my pants pushes and holds the power button down. If I'm lucky I happen to feel the short vibration after booting to know I will not have any cellular connectivity unless I get out the phone and enter the PIN. If I don't realize what just happened I'm unavailable for the rest of the day.
I already tried https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nezdroid.lockscreenprotector, to no avail. This issue is independent of the power menu being present.
Do you guys have any idea on how to fix this behavior? Either by totally disabling the power button whilst in the lockscreen or specifically disabling this 10 second reboot thing?
On every Android-powered device I've ever owned (several dozen at this point), holding the Power/Sleep button for ~10 seconds or longer causes the device to shut off and reboot. It's not an Android issue (because older Windows Mobile devices like the HD2 running that OS did the same thing), it's simply how the devices are designed to work as I understand it, there has to be some kind of way to shut them down/restart them in case of some hardware or software issue that prevents the actual buttons - whether soft or hard - from working as they should. Not every device has a removable battery so, if it gets "stuck" and can't be shut off, it would stay on till the battery was totally dead, so this ~10 second thing was added in a long time ago.
This is basically the same as where pressing and holding a computer's power button for ~4 seconds or longer will shut it off - the difference is that Android devices tend to reboot immediately whereas a computer will actually stay off.
I don't think there's anything that can be done to stop this behavior since it's an aspect of the device's hardware. Maybe something is possible, but I can't say for sure as I'm not nearly as knowledgeable about the deeper aspects of today's smartphone hardware technology than some others, who knows.
From this point of view it totally makes sense that you can't disable this feature. Unless there's a rewritten kernel or something...
Do you think there might be a chance of an app disabling this feature or is it hardcoded into all devices?

All devices have this. It is a safety feature just in case it freezes and your devices doesn't have a removable battery. It would take a custom kernel to pull it off
I bought one of these £105 10.6-inch tablets on Amazon last month, on the recommendation of my nephew who already owned one. I've been really impressed by the performance (octacore with 2GB RAM), but it frequently won't wake from sleep when I press the power button (i.e. the screen won't turn on). I need to do a hard reset by pressing the power button for 15 seconds to restore it. This happens even when the tablet has 100% charge and is connected to a charger. I was sent a replacement unit and the replacement has exactly the same problem. I notice that, when it does work properly, when I press the power button there is a delay of a fraction of a second and then a clicking sound when the screen turns on, which seems unusual.
I was wondering whether the number of widgets on my homescreens may be causing a problem for it - I have BBC news, Gmail and BBC Weather widgets on my main homescreen, and 2 Pure Calendar widgets on another launcher screen. Does anyone know if this might cause problems for the processor?

I have done just like you....!!And realized the 2 by ram and octacore are actually much weaker than advertised! Don't be fooled by the 8 cores... It's actually crap. And the ram is too low and gets the tablet to freeze. The tablet is good for single tasks,but can't handle multi tasking . Close apps processes you don't use. Also....
I have removed all widgets and my performance has dramatically increased. I'd advice you to do the same.
