i just got my phone back from getting repaired and i rooted it again and installed titanium backup and turned off the phone to charge faster and when it shuts down instead of going through the entire shutdown t-mobile animation it cuts off after barely a second and goes to my password screen until it turns off.
i think everything is working fine but i still want to see if this has happened to anyone else and if so is there a way to fix it. thanks guys.
i'm updating just in case this happens to anyone else. i went through the last couple apps i installed and uninstalled and then turned off the phone to see if it let the shutdown animation go all the way through and once i uninstalled juicedefender the animation played all the way through. i forgot i installed that app around the same time i rooted and installed titanium backup.

Ok, so I have a rooted Vibrant on stock firmware and I've been having a problem with my screen becoming unresponsive. It originally happened on a smaller level when the phone was newer and unrooted, however the problem has gotten much worse. I've done a factory reset of the phone along with a nandroid backup of it before the problem was severe, yet it comes back just as strong.
I already went through the problems with the no wake from setcpu, even thought it was my lock screen becoming unresponsive until I disabled it with NoLock. Also, I have the Logcat live wallpaper, and usually when you tap the screen, you can see the system processing the information, however when the problem occurs there is no response on the logcat live wallpaper. The phone doesn't freeze at all though. All the soft keys still work perfect as do the volume and power buttons.
Any ideas, tips, suggestions that might help me narrow down this problem? Could it be from a bad version of busybox? Autokiller maybe? I have it set to strict(was previously on aggressive) but no change. Maybe Autostarts is causing something to freeze up. Thanks for any help. Seams like these phones have alot of wake up issues.
I would reflash back to stock with Odin and see what happens when you don't have task killer, set CPU, etc. Also, be careful with autostarts
So I removed Autostarts and rebooted, same deal. I did a factory reset and still the same. I just unrooted a few minutes ago and the problem seams to have gone away. I'm gonna leave it like this for a bit without installing any apps and see what happens. Is it possoble I have a bad root.zip file or bad version of busybox? Doesn't make sense to happen when I have root, then go away when I don't. Any reason it could cause this? I'm really close to sending the phone back, but don't want to waste my time if it's just a bad root file or user error.
Well I don't know for a fact, hopefully someone more knowledgeable can chime in. Maybe when you are unrooted, changes made by autostarts no longer have the permissions to affect anything. Personally I would use Odin (have done it twice already) and start from scratch. But then you risk accidentally screwing up the phone if something goes wrong.
I removed Autostarts and rebooted just to make sure the changes took effect though. Even did a factory reset. Those removed all apps that required root access and the problem was still so bad it took me an hour to get the screen responsive again. Once I did get into my phone I booted into recover and unrooted. Restared the phone and now the issue seams to have gone away. Touch screen is very responsive now which leads me to believe it was something that had to do with the root file i'm flashing, or possibly busybox. Very very strange.
Hopefully someone much smarter than me could give some insight as to what could potentially cause the touch screens to just stop recieving signal. It's just bizarre that the phone continues to run fine, just not the screen.
Today my X2 started having some random reboot problems.. Only thing I can think of that started it was yesterday evening I installed Lookout security.. Was wondering, is anyone using Lookout and if so, are you noticing your phone having random reboots?
Also would like to know if anyone else is having them as well.. very possible it is something different.. The wierd thing about the last reboot it had was it acted like it was a partial reboot.. What I mean by that is instead of showing the Motorola splash screen for the X2, it just showed the X2 boot animation then the Notification LED displayed a solid green light (Kinda like I recieved an email/text except it wasn't blinking). Anyone else see this happen and if so do you have any apps like Lookout installed.

Are you rooted? Stock phone? I know some people were having issues with random reboots and either a factory reset solved the problem or a new phone resolved the issue.
I am rooted.. it seems they stopped after uninstalling lookout though..
I'm stock and have had Lookout installed for just about 2 weeks and have been fine... until I update my bank of america app and installed titanium backup (in anticipation of rooting over the weekend). After that, it's been hit or miss. I uninstalled TB, but still have the problem. One day I'll be fine and the next I'll have 2-3 reboots or severe lag. I'm using launcher pro with the new blur app draw and have noticed I can't add apps to my home screen. It F/C's everytime. i have to use the LP app drawer to do this now. It worked for about a week without a problem. The only thing that keeps my hanging on to this phone is the hope we will get a SBF soon and Liberty will pump out rom for us. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
The only reboots I've had were with the camera app. Fixing the lag and LP problems can be done by installing Script Manager from the app store, then downloading the V6 Supercharger script and choosing option 6. Reboot, run it again, option 6 again. Each time you reboot, just give the script a run. Cleans up a lot of the performance problems. It's recommended that you NOT have the script automatically run at startup in case something goes wrong. You must be rooted.

I am using CM7 latest weekely every thing is perfect but now suddenly my phones screen turns on like call is coming and turns back off after 2 sec and this happens randomly.
is this expected behavior?
is there any work around?
My fiancee has an atrix that is totally stock and hers just started doing this yesterday. I would also like to know the answer to this. I was thinking it was a hardware issue with the power button but hopefully i am wrong, that way I dont have to mess with a warranty exchange. Any help would be appreciated.
by any chance have u just start using this app "Memory Booster - RAM Optimizer" if yes then this might be the one, i have just messed around in its settingsd and no screen wakup problems so far

No. The only apps that I think might cause this that I have on her phone is beautiful widgets and a data toggle. She has had these apps on there for awhile and the phone just started to act up.

Both me and my brother own atrix and it happens on both.It was happening on stock 2.3.4 and now on cm7 as well it must be something with the phone not a rom related issue
i also have beautiful widgets, can sk8trix conform that his and his brother phone have this app too. if yes then this might be the cause. or we have to tell each other whole list of apps that we have installed to narrow down the culprit.
On her phone I have all of her apps that are supposed to sync turned off. I recently installed data enabler for her so she would have a data toggle on her home screen. I use advanced task manager to kill her apps by force stopping them. Last night I used it and closed everything and turned her screen off. 5 minutes later it come on for about two seconds and shut off. I have been looking at what apps might be causing this and really dont see anything unusual except for the data enabler and beautiful widgets. I will uninstall both of those and report back later on to let you know the result. Hopefully someone else will come along with a better solution.

I don't use beautiful widgets ever.....I even tried with a clean install no apps installed except stock cm7 apps and google apps and it still happened so I gave up trying to figure it out.
it doesn't shorten my battery life at all so I don't worry however if there is a fix I will use it because it is annoying.
Edit the only time the phones wake up by themselves is right after we hit the power button to turn the screen off or when the phone firat boots and is still locked it will turn the screen off and turn it back on the dim again.
I dont think its cm7 issue cos i was at weekly # 4 and there was no issue then i flashed tuch recovery and after that boot it started happening. Then i flashed latest weekely and reverted back to old recovery. And i agree this only happen when i turn screen off (randomly)
OK here is where I am at now with this problem. I uninstalled both apps and it seems to be ok for the time being, but my fiancee told me she had been receiving weird messages in her notification bar. I looked into it and she was getting ads in her notification bar. So I downloaded AirPush Detector from the market and ran a scan on her phone and it detected a couple of apps pushing notifications. I got rid of the apps and now im back to checking the phone again. I dont know if that AirPush app would help you guys out or not but it would hurt to try.
since i have started this thread my problems have gone away like a little *****, and i dont know how to recreate this problem any more so i am stuck with no problem no solution thing.
12 hrs passed no problem so far.
It was apps in the background running. Airpush helped. I told her from now on no more free apps, i would rather buy them then fight this **** again. I put the data toggle and beautiful widgets back on her phone and it's ok. Thanks for your guys input.

I am having The same problem with my Samsung Galaxy ace Gt-5830i.
Earlier it had problems with charging and SD card. So we took it to authorized service center. And they said they had formatted the phone and installed stock ROM on it. They also replaced the charger port. But now after two days the phone screen is turning on and off at repeated intervals (for about 2 Seconds). So what might be the problem.
So I got bootlooped yesterday, my phone started up, I saw my home screen, then it shut itself off again and restarted. This is weird because I am not messing with any Custom ROMS. I am rooted, unlocked and am using the Stock ROM which I debloated.
Because of this, I deleted cache and Dalvik cache and did a Factory Reset through Amon Ra. Google Locations and the GPS weren't working, and although it had zero VZ bloat, I decided to just restore my Nandroid backup from a week or so ago since the interface seemed a little more familiar.
Once restored, I debloated a little again and restarted the phone multiple times (to make sure I wasn't messing about with any important apps that could be causing the original issue). The phone ended up restarting fine so I thought I was good to go. Then, today, after installing all my apps, and uninstalling the the Watch widget, I came to the HTC bootscreen. However, the phone wasn't really rebooting, the bootscreen just came on and then immediately went to my homescreen. Regardless, I thought I may restart just to check it out. The first time I restarted, I cycled through the homescreens immediately after boot and the phone turned off. Then I booted it up again and although it's running, I am getting no data. The Mobile Network tab is grayed out. I don't know what to do. I really don't want to factory reset again/restore my original nandroid backup.
I tried *228 but it just says that "A Verizon Wireless Sim card has activated your service and updated your phone's roaming capabilities.
So I tried the Bootlooping and Network fix on the stickied thread (sorry just found it on the website, it wasn't on Google). Regardless, I still have a reservation. If I do indeed bootloop again, even without the battery cover on, would I need to do a factory reset? Because that's what happened last time and I really do not want to go through that experience again.
Does you phone stay booted with the battery cover off?

No, it wasn't. It froze and then restarted seemingly 5-8 seconds after arrival on the lock screen and unlocking.
Also, after restoring, the Voice Mail app icon cannot be deleted. I have tried Titanium Back up, and now even though its deleted there, the icon is still visible.
I guess I had a different issue when my phone was bootlooping I was able get it to boot with the covers off then do the network fix (it was on wcdma)

I rooted my new Sidekick 4G a few weeks ago and became obsessed with the amazing apps they had out for rooted Androids (DroidSheep, All the awesome apps that let you change settings that Android wouldn't normally let you, etc).
So last night I downloaded "ROM Toolbox Pro" onto my phone and started to mess around with the settings. Being kind of a noob when it comes to the Android OS (and being extremely tired probably helped a little bit too), I started playing around in the app and looking at what options it had. I saw that you can change the battery icon, so I installed one and a pop-up came up and I selected reboot and then it started to reboot as it normally would, splash screen, etc. but as soon as the boot animation started the phone just started vibrating weirdly. There was one 1 second vibrate, then 3 very quick ones one after another. This kept repeating till I got a blank screen and I can't do anything from there.
Tried taking out battery and putting it back in but that didn't do anything. I decided to leave it overnight and see what happens, but got same result when I tried turning it on this morning.
Any help at all would be very greatly appreciated!
It's a T-Mobile Sidekick 4G running 2.2 Froyo, and it's rooted (obviously).
Thank you in advance guys!
